This is like saying "To make money in the stock market, you have to find stocks that will go up." It's tautological.

Yes, but growth and appreciation are (theoretically) not. Growth is priced in. You're saying product-market fit -> growth -> appreciation. The first part of that is true. The second isn't. Assuming market efficiency, th

> and wait a couple years for your equity to be valuable Product-market fit does not imply appreciation. Growth is priced in. Unless you think you know more than the market (the VCs), you shouldn't expect a return.

It doesn't matter whether the cost is incurred on profits or otherwise, they just don't want to pay. Vetoing sales is unfair, but rational on the part of the company, so long as their recruits and employees don't understand

That is a real problem, yes, but the fair solution is right of first refusal, not vetoing a sale.

It mostly is with RSUs. Stock options are far more complicated.

"This is the story of search keyword advertising" Google certainly didn't win because they had a "good enough" product in a strong market. They won because they had by far the best product in a strong market.

I would assume driver-less cars are primarily a software achievement. Same with robotic surgery, but I'm not sure. Also, you can't compare two things by comparing the failures of one to the successes of the other.

What's disappointing is that my quality of life would decrease much less from 2010->1970 than 1970->1930. In that sense, innovation is decelerating.

Does Riak support distributed transactions? If not, I don't see how they handle the possibility of a read occuring during the replicated write.

As far as I can tell, WriteConcerns don't protect from inconsistent reads in all cases. It looks like the most conservative setting is Majority, but even then there is no assurance that reads won't occur during the replication, nor that th

This may help in the majority of the cases, but many applications also can't tolerate inconsistent reads across users/sessions.

I'm not aware of any database that solves this problem. Is there one? As far as I know, mysql reads must be distributed to the slaves at the application level, which has no knowledge of master/slave inconsistency. I suppose the time delta
