Off topic, but if your son has the chance to go Harvard/MIT/Stanford, he absolutely should. The difference is primarily in the caliber of the other students, and it makes a world of difference to have such a concentration of talen

This is an incredibly broad question. Can you give some details on what happened, specifically?

I'm a big fan of SICP. I'd describe it as "hard-core": requiring hard work, but extremely rewarding for the people who take the time and effort to go through it. I'd recommend the following three books to similarly

No, only what's needed to update their model. We also don't use the data in any way other than to send updates - we don't even store it on our servers.

A user is someone that you send data to (probably one of your customers or employees).

This site is actually for a new product: an API that lets developers push data (from any language, over REST) to the spreadsheets of end-users. Not directly related to VBA or Python =)

Yes, that's one way to look at it. In practice most people send CSV's now, so it's a simpler, streamlined way to do that. A big advantage of Voyager over both of those options is the ability to send custom data per-user witho

This is primarily for analytics and other data companies with non-technical customers. They get requests for data in spreadsheets, and they usually manage that by generating and sending over one-off CSV's. Voyager is an interface that&

Hi, I'm one of the developers. Let me know if you have any questions. We'd like to get as much feedback as possible, and we have a special offer going on towards that end: free service with unlimited users until April. We'll

This takes that into account - you don't spend all of your money until you have no chance of living another year. (In this case, the assumption is that you might make it to 111 but will not make it to 112, which is not completely true

It's strange that it converges to a number we can describe succinctly, as opposed to a random number that has no relation to anything else.

That's exactly how survivorship bias, in particular, works: "Survivorship bias is the logical error of concentrating on the people or things that 'survived' some process and inadvertently overlooking those that did not b

The YCVC investments are a fire-and-forget portfolio investment; VC's usually don't follow the companies directly unless they put in additional money.

YC's investment + the startfund money is enough to pay for a place to live, even if it's an expensive short-term lease. (Companies find places to live on their own. When you're going to be in a particular apartment/home

I'm really sorry about that. When did you use the software? We've fixed a number of memory leak issues in the past few months, so this was likely resolved. Additionally, we don't wrap pyxll; we have a completely seperate arch
