I think we see a top in the stock market and asset price inflation in the next 6-12 months. What comes after is sort of TBD. Eventually we'll have real growth (and likely a lot of inflation with it), but what happens between now and t

Very true. Like buying from IBM will never get you fired, neither would hiring from Google (though they may start to change in their case.) Certainly it's easier to look at education, corporate brand as signaling than to really dive i

not sure why you feel the need to be sarcastic about this. Marissa and Armstrong were big names coming out of Google that many would argue flamed out. The fact that Sheryl Sandberg makes what I would consider is a lateral move to another s

Elephant in the room or exception that proves the rule? I would also consider Doerr as starting his career at Intel (back when it didn't have a virtual monopoly) rather than being a senior leader. I think these one-trick ponies are g

Tim and Marissa are both characters. I wonder if they are actually any good. After all, how easy would it be to "succeed" at Google 10 years ago? That's why I'm always a little skeptical about hiring leaders from one-t

I would gather that your "myriad other characteristics" are really just policy disagreements, not "hate". I think you can disagree on policy with someone without hating them. Of course, that would require you to actua

A) Duke has nothing to do with the republican party. It's not intellectually honest to keep bringing up David Duke as a proof-point that Republicans are racist when you dismiss that only six years ago there was a KKK grand cyclops in

I'm not completely following the author... I guess he's saying that Thiel is pessimistic. Well, can you blame him?

Wow, someone downvotes a legitimate question? China blocks facebook. They harass Apple[1]. They force our companies to invest in there to get access. Does that sound like "free trade" to you? Is asking them to stop "protec

You are a perfect example of the type of person we are talking about in the valley. Someone who wants to shut down debate by name calling. You don't actually want to have a debate, you just want to call me a name and hope that ends t

People always drag out david duke, but how many Republican offices did that guy ever hold? ZERO. Meanwhile, how about Democrat Robert Byrd who was an ex-KKK segregationist that was in the senate for FORTY YEARS! Democrats are the part of s

Is trump for protectionism or just fair trade agreements?

The Orlando killer was a democrat who liked hillary more than Bernie Sanders. Does that answer your question?

B for sure. I still won't do it except when I've had a few beers around friends. The professional backlash has the potential to be pretty brutal. Not to mention how free people feel to call anyone supporting Trump a racist knuc

Agreed. Hillary's crime and subsequent lies were far worse than what forced Nixon to resign. The real fascists who think that law doesn't matter are the ones that nominated her anyway.

Now, yes. I live in Western Addition. Before I lived in the nice part of Soma by the Ballpark. There we still had the mentally ill and feces to some degree, but not the rest.

Oh, I forgot to mention how drugs are sold all day long ("The Wire", corner-boy style) just catty-corner to the police station next to the McDonalds. Two people were shot there in January on the same day. Cars parked in the st

Excessive human feces on sidewalks. Mentally ill on every block. People selling drugs up and down the street. Loud music played on the sidewalk into the evening. Very run-down grocery and convenience stores in the area. Drunks on the co

I live in the neighborhood that is profiled in the article. I am not surprised that blacks are leaving. I want to leave myself.

Not yet. I worked on some strategic initiatives in this space and - for consumers - wearables at this point are at best complimentary. What the big dogs (AMZN/GOOG/MSFT) seem to be pushing for consumers now isn't wearables a

The move to the cloud is a big factor here too. I now generally judge a machine based on how many browser tabs I can have open at a time while still getting good performance.

#1 - nobody in the race is more power hungry than the Clintons. #2 - The republican party itself is at least interested in holding trump accountable. The same can't be said for democrats and Hillary.

Hmm... I'm not granting anything in your post because there are a number o inaccuracies... But... The level of debate that existed during the primaries, that continues to exist inside the party, the discussion of supporting a 3rd party

Immigration is like alcohol: there's good liquor and bad liquor, a time and place for it, and too much of any of it will give you a hangover.

As he should. Democrats and big business are leading us down an orwellian rabbit hole (with the help of two Bush presidencies), but Rebulicans and Libertarians are still the two parties of principle and debate. All the Democrats care about

Whoa, for a minute I thought this was a 2010 "Death of the PC" article, because the arguments are at times almost verbatim. In my opinion, this is not "peak-smartphone" in the way it is "peak-PC". PC growth sl
