I'm disappointed that there's still not a popular federated social service like this. I know diaspora tried and that there are other projects that have attempted work like this. I know that they'll never work until they'

I don't necessarily buy the notion that all companies treat their employees poorly. Start a company if you want to (I have before, and it was very freeing) but the world might not be quite as binary as you're seeing it right now.

REITs encompass more than just housing (there are large REITs for malls, office buildings, prisons, and even data centers). I would imagine that multifamily and student housing REITs increasing in equity value would allow them to use some o

I work at Bellhops in Chattanooga, TN. We were able to raise seed locally, and Series A and B from Bay Area and NYC investors while sizably growing market share. It definitely depends on what industry you're trying to start a company i

The insider stuff is definitely what's interesting, for example there are quick facts that help you calibrate your assumptions that are very hard to come by. They're usually the things that companies don't want to talk about.

While there is an abundance of information available about companies that allows those of us not sitting in pitch meetings every day to gain insight into their growth there is still a material amount of private information that VCs get to s

Couldn't the argument be made that if you don't want their ads to go into your brain that you shouldn't visit their site? It's sort of a case of "their house their rules" right? I tend to agree that it'd b

That makes a ton of sense, I was being blinded by the average revenue not thinking about that fact that their revenue probably has an 80/20 distribution. I wonder if you assumed that there was a pareto distribution of their users what

I wish Facebook would offer an option to pay to remove ads / reduce tracking. I understand that they have to operate a business, and if I don't want to pay they should be able to show me ads. If I do want to pay it would be nice t

I see a ton of comments that are dismissing this but from my experience most code has implicit typing of some sort. This looks like a nice replacement for hand written input validation, if my function expects a number and I pass a string th

It also depends on your deploy cycle. If you want to do continuous deployment (which seems to make development teams very happy) then you need great unit and integration testing. If you're ok with waiting a week or more between deploym
