"It's not google" is probably their #1 value proposition (DDG offers the same, but MSFT has better mainstream brand awareness). This is meant without snark. It's probably the first alternative people will go to if they&#

Used Lotus notes as recently as 2010, I am pretty sure it's going strong in my megacorp former employer.

This reads more like the"engineering manager" has had a sales role for too long. I think most frequently this is at the VP level. The direct eng manager (or PM sometimes) should be in a position to fight against this sort of absur

YoY median home prices were up 13% nationally in August. That's largely driven by the diaspora we're seeing with WFH/COVID, with people pushing into more affordable communities and driving up prices. Until now we were all com

Yes those 50 companies are very recent in SV history. Hence we need to look back farther to see the change, because our standards were set many decades ago. And whether a company goes bust post IPO isn't really the issue here since liq

Looked at the graph you're referring to. This looks like it's a very narrow set of companies. We should be looking back farther, and wider. Recall that, for example, Netscape IPO'ed after 18 months and Amazon IPO'ed afte

Senior Management may not have the liquidity. The institutionals passing on their ROFR would smell bad, but may still happen due to their Capital constraints.

The derisking value is greater than you estimate, imo. Getting from zero to that stage is very difficult for even the most capable and experienced people. (Also you save several years of getting the company to that stage, which means you&#x

Depends on how Uzi Nissan’s will/estate is set up, whether the domain has been left to a particular heir or is simply part of the overall estate to be split among heirs — in which case you’d probably need to set up a corporate structur

The distinction (imo) is that had I stayed on the old version I could have enjoyed the previous friendly person behind the counter whom I really liked for a few more months, and now I have no way of going back to that person :(

NHK in Japan has a similar scheme. If you have a TV you have to pay. If you have a phone that can receive TV signal, you have to pay. They'd even send people in person to "check if you have a TV". I believe they recently lost

This is assuming the seller can maintain the carrying costs of the house, an assumption that is currently holding true.

This is a typical problem with "median value" reporting. RE data needs to be examined in a very granular way to be useful, most of the time.

Makes sense -- Moody Road is a pretty dicey road for access and there's a decent number of homes that could easily be cut off there. Presumably in such a situation the opposite side access from Page Mill Road would be jeopardized as we

What's becoming increasingly clear is that the submarkets of urban condos, urban SFH, suburban condos, and suburban SFH are dissociating and exhibiting their own dynamics. Suburban SFH is performing very well.
