> VC: Thanks, but this isn’t a fit for us right now. Let’s keep in touch. I don't see what's wrong with this. It's a clear no without slamming the door on a future investment should the scenario change. If the VC would say

I still have my account but disabled all notifications and effectively stopped visiting it except for rare occasions. I did this about 4 months after the election, when I realized how toxic Facebook had become, watching my friends and famil

Hey founder in pain - I've been in a very similar situation as you and ultimately decided to stay to fulfill my duty to investors and employees. And in the end, post-acquisition, I was happier. If you want to chat, shoot me an email

That's ridiculous. 1) that's an idiotic stereotype. Men and women both will react in similar ways. 2) Doesn't make a difference what "type" of person she is. They are married and she has every right to know (and voi

As an app creator, I have bought almost every new iPhone model since the original. Having used the iPhone 7+ now for a few months I can honestly say that every time I want to use my existing headphones, I get super frustrated at the dongles

Another method would be to show a user a list of all fields that are about to be filled in as part of the autocomplete prompt. This isn't very scalable for massive forms, but should be enough of an alert to a user that something is ami

I strongly agree. And I have seen it anecdotally a few times in how we have developed entry-level employees and interns who are now top of their field (e.g. One intern is now the VP of design at major tech company). I think the innate tale

Hopefully by the time it's preparing to happen, humans will be able to better detect it in advance and take steps to help it vent in a more controllable way so it's not as catastrophic.

Lots of acquisition announcements today. 'Tis the season.

I think the real importance of this announcement is the reduction of needed bandwidth by 97% while still maintaining transmission quality - that's amazing!

You know I was about to mock this as ridiculous and not worth any media attention, but then I stopped to realize I mocked the notion of a Trump presidency as ridiculous too. I don't think there is any policitcal scenario that can be de

I have a problem with people adding gamification in an attempt to increase engagement. Often times this means stimulating the same dopamine reward responses that people get from gambling. I see this in particular with apps geared for childr

The criticism in the article wasn't about people on a limited budget owning big houses. It was about the lack of architectural cohesiveness in the big houses they do build.

It's unusual for an acquihire to have real agency in a big company. It's usually the middle management route - or worse - the limbo of having nothing real to do like the parody scenario in the Silicon Valley tv show.

Violent bullying generally requires a violent response. It's unfortunately true. My then 8-year-old son was getting punched by another boy in his class on a regular basis and the teachers couldn't do anything about it because they

Nobody says with certainty that life exists. But they do say the probability is so high that life in some form exists elsewhere, you might as well be certain. As for not sharing the universe: what a depressing thought.

Based on my limited reading comprehension abilities and complete misunderstanding of Sam's advice, I'm choosing to ignore your constructive criticism, hater.

Another similar thought experiment is what happen if we cut ourselves laterally exactly in half and then fill back in the missing half on both parts. In the case of both halves, we are continuing an existing consciousness. Would you be OK k

This is an amazing list. I get that this might fall under the crowd-funding category, but you also might want to add debt vehicles, including crowd-based advanced ordering platforms like kickstarter. There's no equity exchange, but the

Hi David, just curious - why did you not also bring a woman founder on board to replace Sara? This seems like a critical piece of DNA to have on your team for the problem you are solving, no?

It concerns me when I see a company that solves an alleged problem that women have and NONE of the active founders are women.

This was the same conventional thinking about people's comfort level sharing their apartments that let many investors pass on AirBNB.
