This situation reminds me of Microsoft buying a small portion of Facebook at a large valuation. In that situation, it was more about the relationship such a deal would create rather than the actual numbers behind it. By creating a large val

The key here is that the axe splits the wood rather than forcefully gets into the wood. Not sure how this is different? Try turning the wood on its side and see how the axe works then. By striking it parallel to the wood structure, it separ

Just a few days ago, Steven Sinofsky of a16z addressed some of the great points in this article. All the more relevant since he was in charge of some major MS products early on.[1] Here's the part I most enjoyed: "The bottom line

The Caltrain stops at midnight though. Make sure you don't have too much fun and stay out late or else you'll miss your transportation back. Driving is too unsafe and gets tiring as well due to distance and parking. Somehow, the m

No need to hate on Oakland. Crime has gone down and gentrification has definitely occurred there as shown in the article. A 40% decrease in blacks has changed the ethnic landscape thereby changing the diversity in another bay area city.
