Let's also not forget that an app is a digital experience and coffee is a physical one. Plus even if the facts the author wrote were not true, it's just overused at this point anyway.

Tangent: I'm invested in a small cap stock, Sophoris Bio, that's in a P2B study for prostrate cancer with a drug developed out of Johns Hopkins called PRX302 (Topsalysin). That and the article about blood tests shows there's

Bandcamp gets a cut of sales and has a small (I think remote) team. They scaled slowly with revenues/profits and don't have big marketing spend and lavish offices around the world and a huge workforce.

I ride the 6 every week day -- luckily I don't go during prime rush hour, but even when I do, I don't understand why more people don't go to the end car. It's ALWAYS less full any time of day.

I don't know if this is a hard/cold way of looking at things, but I want a bang for my back in donating to charity. I've (almost) exclusively give to malaria foundations. Even if you don't want to give, set your Amazon t

Fair enough, that being said, I'm not sure I need an app/community for that (i.e. a Stocktwits clone for index funds).

If this is about index funds specifically, that is definitely not clear. If anything I think this is NOT about index funds, but individual stocks. Index funds are basically set it and forget it, so why would I want to continuously use this

The author could be afraid of lawsuits (even if it is true what she writes, that doesn't mean someone can't sue for libel/defamation/retaliate in some fashion).

Uber continued to pick up people at JFK when taxi cab drivers were striking. As a response, Lyft donated $1 million to the ACLU, so everyone jumped on the delete Uber/use Lyft bandwagon. Disclaimer: I'm more of a subway kind of gu

The #deleteuber hashtag was not just about the CEO being an advisor but also the way Uber handled the taxi cab strike at the airport. I think different points mixed together to create this viral hashtag.

The latest version of Soylent powder is the best-tasting version to date and I get no uneasy feeling from it. The original powder versions I could more easily believe gastro issues, so I'm surprised this is cropping up now rather than

I work close to the Empire State Building -- following the health scare, the lines were way shorter during prime lunch hour. I've noticed them come back but seemingly not in full force (even with the Chiptopia rewards, which we did tak

Freakonomics covered Uber in one of their recent episodes and a study claimed that there was a consumer surplus, with people willing to pay 50-60% more for Uber than they were otherwise paying. Curious if it would actually play out that way

Click through rate is going to vary dramatically by vertical, but just as a very rough comparison, it's not hard to get >1% CTR on mobile Newsfeed ads while years ago on a right-hand side small ad before Newsfeed ads I was always wi

I still remember touring their NYC offices as a kid (I'm 27 now) and meeting some of the writers and editors, getting my name in the Letters to the Editor section with a stupid cheese pun, submitting articles that were swiftly and hila

I feel like when you're working at a company that's about to go public, you can sort of see the writing on the wall (e.g. quick wins with no long-term strategy, high turnover and bad morale, upcoming products, etc.). I run Faceboo

You can also combine lookalikes with interest targeting -- once some audience gets saturated, mix a bunch of your past performing segments like a lookalike + interests.

You can't upload just one email address (they changed the minimum number a long time ago for privacy reasons). There is a minimum number to create a custom audience of email addresses and then you create a lookalike audience that is 1M

I've been using TaxACT ever since I became an "adult" and started filing my tax returns. I can't really compare it to TurboTax, which I've only used for business taxes, but I can't imagine anything else being e

I work in performance-based marketing, running lead acquisition campaigns on Facebook. I really like it because it feels like you're playing a stock market with the fluctuating prices and algorithm changes in the market. Plus there&#x2

"To respond more effectively: grim prospects only increase the pool of applicants, and decreases their average desire to do the job you ask for." I think that's spot on.

I believe this is definitely true, but I'm speaking of the first initial interview as well. It's not quite as bad as the top of the funnel, much higher quality, but still not the level of effort I was hoping for.

Disclaimer: This is purely anecdotal, and not backed by any data. I'm in my mid-twenties and just recently started interviewing people for the team I work on. It's amazing how little effort many seemingly qualified people put in t

Well there is Larry Lessig, who raised more than his $1MM goal from smaller donors to run as a referendum candidate with the sole purpose of getting money out of politics. That being said, he has zero name recognition when compared to Trump

I was on a criminal jury trial in Manhattan in May. The guy was being charged with multiple assault and resisting arrest charges against cops. The incident happened a couple years ago. It was basically the cops' word vs. the defendant.

Sometimes a small portion of a round is used to buy out previous investors or sell some founder/early employee shares, but that's not the point of a round like this. If it's not for growth of the company, that would be a bad
