I made this page. To the design critics: I wish I could have spent more time ironing out the kinks. But I couldn't afford another day. That's why I'm hiring a full time visual designer! The next single-use, throw-away ad will be a model of

This is great. Would love them in a more accessible format. 10 mins in and I still haven't been able to find anything actually written by him… :-)

So many armchair commentators… Nobody here has the data about Oink that Milk do. The data required to tell if this venture was something worth doubling-down on or moving on from. Business is an art. And great artists know that moving forwar

Buffett's point is that a projection prepared by a person wishing to sell his business, no matter what data went into the projection, will be inherently biased and is to be treated with skepticism. Buffett would much rather see said data hi

I don't think it's fair to call it a non-story. I think this approach is refreshing. Get great people together, play on their strengths, find something that works, grow it. But importantly, I think it's significant since Rose has clearly de
