Sequoia is structured as an LLC, but they, or an affiliated "GP Co" still act as the general partner of their funds (which are limited partnerships). Here's a couple diagrams of typical VC fund structures: 1. https:/&#x

Great callout. I believe the playbook for Twitter is now crystal clear: * Bring back Jack Dorsey as the founding luminary * Have him strike a deal with their ancient rival Facebook for an injection of capital in exchange for embedding Insta

That's my point; how do you propose to miniaturize cryogenic equipment (and make it safe for the general public to use)? The UHV equipment is pretty intense too, fwiw.

I studied experimental condensed-matter physics and this article is spot on. The PIs at my university were holding clouds of rubidium atoms with laser tweezers at microkelvins in ultra-high vacuum, agitating them with a laser beam, and publ

I read the New York Times article on this yesterday and discussed it with my wife (neuroscientist). Our discussion went like this: Wife: "This is bonkers, the entire point of orgo is to cull the pre-med students. When I took orgo they

I know what you mean, but it really does pick up later, and all the threads laid in that case end up getting tied together later. The payoff is great at the end :)

I played through the entire Ace Attorney series in the last couple of years. AAI2 really is a terrific game, and the fan translation is flawless. The game has this incredibly detailed story that sort of weaves back on itself multiple times

Second this, GP's advice is terrible. The business is founded and making really decent money. The "co-founder" ship has sailed. Hire an employee and pay them a salary and maybe kick them some options if you want them to have

Why are you letting strangers add you on LinkedIn? And then meeting them in person, no less? Sure you can tell them no, but you can also just ignore their cold outreach. I don't have anyone on my linkedin that I haven't met someho

And for $20 a month?? This is kind of horrifying. Does any other product out there have the database that MFP has?

Whatever the origin, this cut is both old and common in classic French cuisine, known as the tourné. Par exemple: http://chut-je-cuisine.com/pommes-de-terre-tournees/

It won't displace actual crosswords for me - the point of crosswords is the clues, not the grid. Still, it's really neat and I enjoyed it, particularly the smaller version. Congrats!

Oh man I used to run a climate tech / impact investing company. Hiring was so easy. On the other hand, having a team of mission-driven true believers actually makes for some difficult and potentially toxic team dynamics.

KDE 2 was such an incredible experience when it came out. I understand the GPL purism in GNU/Linux that hobbled Qt and by extension KDE, but I always felt that KDE from 2 onwards was by far the superior desktop environment. Ultimately

What the heck? This is completely bizarre. Gallstones don't develop overnight from eating one weird food, and I'm not aware of any other reason gallbladder removal surgery would be performed..

Man, this is a dumb take. Even if there were a correlation (which there apparently isn't, per https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31899793 ), there's zero way you can say that there's any sort of causational

My understanding (probably incomplete) is that a lot of the loans were short-term "flash loans". Being that the term was quite short, they're more akin to payday loans. If you were to compute the loan on an APY basis it would

The irksome thing here for me, as a resident of Quebec, is that our provincial pension plan recently invested heavily in this project. That's a not insignificant amount of retiree money gambled irresponsibly and lost within months. Iro
