You confused a little bit pre-money and post-money valuation. If company is worth 1m, and someone invests 100k, they get 0.1/(1+0.1) (current value of company + additional $100k after investment) worth of shares, what gives investor c.

Very often your current users get used to your design and hate it when you change something. Is there a way to do A/B testing on your current users, or should you try it only on new ones?

This still doesn't change the fact that phones using 2.2 are ancient and users are probably uninterested in downloading apps, so you can safely ignore them. It's a high percentage, but mainly because of negative selection. People

Totally agree. It feels like author just doesn't want me to to read that... On the same note, I don't understand why in some countries signs on highways use all-capital letters. Words written that way are actually harder and sl

This is definitely happening in Eastern European countries, too, and probably even some of the western ones Careful here. I live in London for several years now, and from my experience Eastern European doctors are much better qualified

Nothing. Most probably you won't even need VPN. Some time ago all UK ISPs blocked pirate bay. Next day hundreds of pirate bay proxies appeared. This law is just another propaganda... On another note, some mobile providers in UK (O2 for

It still doesn't make your arguments valid. You yourself are saying that you are comparing 'tracks' vs spins. Like I said, the UTILITY of both is very different. CD/iTunes track you can copy to other devices, listen offl

I think you couldn't be more wrong. First of all you compare value that YOU pay ($1 per song) on iTunes to what CREATOR is paid for on Pandora. Second of all, Pandora is like radio, not like iTunes. You cannot select song, you have to

The purpose is to see how you break down the problem. It's all about applying MECE (Mutually Exclusive, Collectively Exhaustive) methodology. Usually for this type of questions you don't really even need to say the numbers, just c

With such a huge user and fan base and strong relationships with content providers, why would they spend money on acquisition instead of building even better service themselves? Especially that Disney is so closely connected to Apple so no

I think that's it's actually the other way round. Popularity of YouTube and shows like Game of Thrones proves that people are tired of long movies. Attention span has shortened and people want condensed action delivered immediately.

Fivetran looks very cool, although I'm only worried that it's web based tool. Advanced Excel / SPPS/ Matlab is used by professionals, who want very fast and responsive, something that is hard to replicate in web based app. I wish them good

I have to admit that Scrapy is very fast, powerful and easy to use and scale. However, probably it's easier to start with BS, as Scrapy requires you to learn "Scrapy way of doing stuff". Furthermore, I find documentation to be a bit unpoli

It's really sad to see phonographic industry fighting piracy that way. There is a million of proxy sites which make Pirate Bay available in UK anyway... The only way to deal with piracy is enable users to have access to they content they wa
