Pretty sure VCs are looking for closer to 100x than 10x. Additionally, this is survivorship bias. You can find lots of very risky investments that will pay 10x if they mature.

I grinded online poker games for a summer in college. I observed opponents betting behavior and classified them into one of a half dozen strategies and then ran a strict algorithm based on who I was betting against. I ran three tables at t

It might be interesting to take photos of couples and have members of the opposite sex rate each member's attractiveness. Then analyze the data. That would go with the approach of measuring actions instead of stated preferences.

I think it's important to do this kind of research. I know a lot of people mash on the soft sciences, and many of the objections are valid. Here are some points in its defense. 1. Common Sense is often wrong. Having empirical evidenc

After graduating college at the age of 22, I've read between 20-50 books every year. I'm often surprised at how far ahead of the bell curve I am. I am very rarely able to have a conversation about literature with people in real li

What exactly is so awful about this advertisement that it will cause you to never buy a product? It seemed super normal to me, do you just never buy products that advertise, or buy products that advertise using actors playing a lawyer?

I think this would matter more to me if the feedback was ever useful. The feedback from these "no" is more cliche and less useful than a Dear John letter. All I ever hear are "another more qualified candidate", or rare

Some of both. I think it's mostly the model. * All of a single product is from the same vendor. Very often, that vendor is also the manufacturer. (model) * Grocery stores have limited shelf space, and thus spend time getting to know

As discussed in the bullet points, those incentives create a sort of natural selection which changes how the statistics are reported over time. It's not like we are measuring length or temperature. The data has a degree of human subje

In such a situation, I foresee something more like the splitting of the Roman Empire. There's no reason to stop serving global customers just because the users are separated from HQ. Especially if the servers are already on both sides

Apple knows the cell phone market is saturated. That's why they have iPads, AirPods, Apple Watches, MacBook Airs, etc. Their plan is to create new accessories (and services) that pair with the iPhone. This generates a moat around ex

There aren't many more single new features that are going to justify upgrading that will exist on the mobile platform. Apple is playing a game where they try to add enough features to prevent the upgrade cycle from becoming too long.

I agree. After listening to 200+ audio books I have found myself having favorite narrators as much as favorite authors. I think the stretched out audio hits harder on podcasts, but it's in audio books too.

I think a lot of people browsing audible look at the Total Playtime field and think "Wow, that's a lot of playtime for one credit" and it draws them into some novels over others. This can put a cap on the authors that choose
