An oddly written story. Claims significant money invested in these companies ("$1 billion since the start of 2014") and proceeds to name only two -- Flexport and Freightos. The latter of which doesn't seem to fit the central

Well, his hypotheses about the present are pretty banal: if we continue on present trends, we're in for some tough times. He cites over-fishing as an example. But of course we aren't strictly following those trends (interview is f

first off, there are strict SEC rules on what constitutes a qualified investor. But second, nobody in the hedge fund world wants to hand-hold a bunch of limited partners -- the fewer the better. And if you've got a track record like Si

all of this kind of insurance is sold through brokers (i.e., a thin wrapper around other companies' real products). That's what Zenefits is competing with -- mom & pop independent insurance brokers, not benefit providers thems

no, actually you can't. It is not possible in ND Cal to "set return dates for any motions you initiate to the last date permitted." That's just not how motions work in ND Cal. And responding on the last hour of every fil

anyone know the size of Stanford's CS faculty and number of undergrad majors? For comparison's sake, it'd be interesting to find out.

Good for you. That's excellent. Hope you not only had a great result but get handsomely compensated (materially and otherwise) for your efforts.

in other fora, Ben argues that the main failing of Christiansen's theory is that it was formed in an era where most tech (either by number of products or total spend) was not purchased by the end users. Now that consumers buy their own

"More seasoned" nice euphemism. I have a colleague who is a WP fiend -- and has an AOL email address. Not that old either.

not to be flippant, but this is exactly why lawyers go to law school and then work on such docs for years to develop expertise. The value of a lawyer is precisely in what to leave out and what to put in -- and how to phrase it. The annotati

James Riley works at Goodwin Procter (sp)[1] and kudos to him -- this is a big contribution to the startup ecosystem. Also, many thanks for not including an arbitration clause and class action waiver as a default term. Not only is it incred

I second that. The templating is a bit tough to get my head around, not being proficient in Go, but super-fast times to generate the static content.

you have to do it with JAMS according to the TOS and the list of arbitrators with JAMS is finite. You can go off-list if both parties agree, but that doesn't happen absent significant experience between counsel for both sides. The JAMS

no, I'd have insurance with a $10 million umbrella policy and a duty to defend that kicks in at $50,000. No one with a brain "welcomes lawsuits" but this is a fool's errand. If Slack really messes up, they'll get hi

First, this isn't "exhaustion" of remedies. Second, there is no recourse to court in the event of a default. The TOS (did you read them before offering legal advice?) requires a claimant to first try informal resolution then
