Well they aren’t losing 100% of him since they are still able to retain his services. If this price movement was due to his departure it would indicate he has an even higher valuation.

I think the trans fat thing was a metaphor (impossible burger doesn’t even have canola oil). His main point that the beyond burger is not very nutritious — it’s just protein isolate and oil with a bit of fiber and flavoring.

For what it’s worth, it took me a long time to raise money for my startup. Throughout that process, I relied heavily on my credit cards. I don’t believe this would have been possible without high interest rates. I took a calculated risk.

Glad you liked it! He has a lot of other content too. You can see a compilation of his best works on the site linked in his twitter bio: https://theangelphilosopher.com/

Naval has a lot of good content. I would start with his tweet storm: How to Get Rich (without getting lucky): https://twitter.com/naval/status/1002103360646823936?s=21

Yeah but at what cost? Non-monetary offerings are great for differentiating between VCs, but usually don’t justify a round in and of themselves.

by liamcardenas 8y ago
Don’t raise money if you don’t know how you would use it. VCs are asking for a piece of what you built. If you decide to give it to them, you’d better get something that you really need in return. Don’t accept money just because other peopl

As with most things, the devil is in the details. Yes, the current system has high churn that leads to suboptimal outcomes. I completely agree something ought to be done about it. My question for supporters of Medicare for all is this: Do y

Remote? Yes, absolutely. Never met in real life? Absolutely not. It’s very important to know who you are going into business with.

It is my understanding that YC only funds companies that have a shot at being unicorns (I am happy to be corrected here). If you are aware of this fact, and a "lifestyle" business is your goal -- is it not dishonest to accept YC m

Yes, but if you live in your own home, you are still paying market rent by means of opportunity cost. You are renting to yourself-- at the market rate.

Sure, but you are also forgoing the addtional rent that you could be earning if you did not live there.

You are right. I was being needlessly snarky in response to his proposed use cases. My main point, though, was that it is reasonable to expect something marketed as a phone to have LTE/cellular capabilities. I don’t think “Show HN: an

I totally get it. This is a good start. I'm a big fan of achievable goals. The website seems to be trying to suggest that WiFi only is a feature -- which I disagree with. No harm in just saying you will get to it eventually, imo (maybe

This is so cool. I will always try to support any project that takes mobile computing/communications in a more libre, hackable, privacy-respecting direction. However, I don't buy the argument for WiFi only. Sure, you are often on

Interesting, it's also important to keep in mind that (1) this number is slightly higher per user because some people have multiple iOS devices and (2) given the device price points, iOS users are typically considered more valuable tha

This goes through lower division college-level math, but nothing higher than that.

I see these sort of free trials as subsidies for non-lazy people by lazy people. If you want to put in the effort -- you can get value, free of charge. If merchants can't use that method any longer, I fear this will no longer be an opt

Me neither, if it is supposed to be an abbreviation of "character", I would pronounce it as "care" (based on my SoCal accent, at least). I call it "char" because that's how it's spelled, though.

Wow I love this! I have a very limited understanding of physics, but I do plan on tackling the problems in the book linked at the top of that page, by the same author. It just requires basic algebra and sometimes a bit of calculus: The Gree
