I guess. I figured since all of the comments were about Bryce's post and none about Fred investing in it, there's be a better conversation if people read Bryce.

Fred's blog is great, but this post is really a link to Bryce's blog post: http://bryce.vc/post/130071493425/my-xoxo-talk Perhaps just go read Bryce's post, which was Fred's intent.

"The IAB and its corporate drones..." I agree the IAB is no match, but the corporate drones you refer to are Google and Facebook, both of which will cease to exist without advertising revenue.

Let me fix that for you: The Adblockers will lose horrifically. It will be worse than wack-a-mole, similar to the file-sharing industry's futile attempts to keep music free and shareable... I now pay more per month for music than I did

I think there's a difference between, say, NASA tweeting about its mission and other examples the article uses. If NASA isn't promoting the mission it's been tasked to do, telling us about their progress and their challenges,

The most authoritative work is Ceruzzi's A History of Modern Computing ( http://amzn.to/1TiHgqd ). Because it's written by an academic, not a journalist, it also has a great bibliography and footnotes. Some of the w

Source? The 1980s pressure to divest from South Africa is sometimes credited with pressuring the South African government to dismantle apartheid ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disinvestment_from_South_Afric... ). Univer

The difference is that patients can choose their hospital, so the hospital has an incentive to have a reputation for the best care. In the case of prisons, the customer and the user are different people.

No, because the entrepreneurship business has boom and bust cycles. Here's a portrait from 1982: "Q: Why are people so willing to sell out their employers? A: Two reasons. In the confrontational style of American management, peopl

No kidding, but that's not how the article was written. My second paragraph was a comment on that. Every budget ever written stuffs things that management thinks can be put off until later into funding for things that absolutely need t

You do wonder if those staff people would be ok turning it on and off by hand if they got the "$1.5 to $2 million" needed to replace the system. That said, I'm pretty sure I could get an Amiga emulator running on a Raspberry

By "worked" I meant building a large business. Sort of undeniable that Uber has done that. That lawsuit, despite its merits, isn't going to slow Uber's growth a whit. Every U.S. business gets sued, it's the American

Asking for forgiveness rather than permission is a risky strategy, but one that pays off well when it works. Where it seems to have worked: Uber, Paypal, et al. Where it failed: Twitter clients, Craigslist front-ends, et al.

To play devil's advocate, I can think of two reasons: 1) If you're choosing a payroll provider, Zenefits integration may help you choose ADP because you have a non-awful user experience with Zenefits as a front-end. 2) It could ru

I don't assume that, just as I don't assume it with the stock market. The problem does not really lie with the actual unfairness of the game, it lies with the perception of unfairness. The stock market is always entirely unfair to

I'm guessing, if the MIT group could reliably beat the game, that the odds were not stated on the back of the card.

The question was why should the lottery have a problem with that, not what the law is. If you design a game--whether it's a lottery or a market--that allows some an advantage others don't have or reasonably expect to get, then tha

The problem is the same as that for insider trading on the stock market: it undercuts trust in the market causing a drop in the number of participants which leads to less liquidity and a less efficient market. Anyone who knew there was a wa

I think the main point here is the one Todd Gitlin makes: "the onus for disclosure ultimately lies with reporters and news programs, who should be asking these experts to reveal potential conflicts of interest and to explain the basis

Love the analysis of standing. The government said the ACLU did not have standing to sue because they could not demonstrate that their phone records, though collected, had been examined. The catch-22--that they never really would be able to

Both physics and the unreasonable success of math at explaining the world make much more sense if you just assume we are living in a math equation.

I'm 48. More productive in the past ten years than ever before. I used to feel the way you do, in my twenties. A lot of it was just jockeying for position among a group of high-achiever friends--trying to be the alpha in a group of alp
