Out of curiosity, why was it necessary to be in beta for over two years? Doesn't seem like the technology would take that long to develop.

I think his whole point is that junk mail's mere existence means that it works. Junk mailers pay real hard currency for every letter they send, so they've can't afford to use ineffective copy. Online, there is no cost to to sending an emai

Wouldn't they disclose that? Also, if that were the aim, why limit everyone to a single card?

Anyone know why they're doing this?

Based on the TC description, there's a fundamental difference between what he'll be doing and what an EIR does. An EIR primarily helps with deal sourcing and evaluation. An EIR becomes a quasi-VC. But it sounds like Bessemer is going to b

The best target customer for this sort of business would be angels, particularly unsophisticated angels. VCs have associates to do the due diligence grunt work, but angels have no such resource.

Okay, maybe it varies by subject. I know that for a few domains that I've explored (econ and finance) no schools allow deferrals.

Not sure I agree with that; I would suggest that the opposite is true. Top-tier PhD programs almost never allow students to defer an acceptance offer, so the person in question would need to re-apply. Being accepted becomes substantially m

Fair enough, maybe I shouldn't have used the words "game theory" because, as you point out, the challenge includes game theory but is broader than that. I see poker as a giant optimization puzzle with a bunch of moving parts. I use a numbe

As a longtime GA user, I checked out MixPanel extensively to see if it was worth switching. I can't find anything that MixPanel does that can't also be done with GA. You can track any event in GA by calling pageTracker._trackPageview('pag

It depends on what your site is worth and how much traffic you are driving. If you are Google, it's a no brainer. If you're getting 1k uniques/mo, it's a needless expense. The tipping point lies somewhere in between. My guess is on the

The first point hit home big time. When you're doing a startup you feel like every day is precious and the tide of change is racing along impossibly fast. It's healthy to remember that the world doesn't reinvent itself every month. The p

Fair points, I stand corrected. I didn't realize the manufacturing costs were so low.

Is there enough added convenience here to justify a hardware purchase? Hardware is a tough sell. Make it work with bluetooth alone, and then I'll be interested.

What's your endgame? Are you thinking of trying to sell data to movie studios/theaters/marketers? Might be helpful for them to know what trailers generate the most excitement.
