What I find most interesting is the pure literacy on display. This cabinetmaking instructor, admittedly a senior one, writes with more fluid grace than the average Harvard graduate today. "At various periods during the history of this

The thing is that he genuinely loved math. I don't think there's really anyone in his orbit who loves math as much. His family is his family and his colleagues love money. We'll see in the coming months and years whether he w

Also, products like Irrigreen ( https://irrigreen.com/ ) which uses inkjet technology to “print” an exact pattern of water onto a lawn, avoiding sprinkler overlap. (Note: am investor)

> Mostly I just know of him because he's a very public asshole. Much like his wife. By "his wife" do you mean his ex-wife Kim Kardashian? If so, in what ways is she an asshole?

TTM revenues are $2.3 billion with $1.2 billion sales costs and $450m Research and Development. Both figures are too high for a company whose growth has come down to the ~30% range. On selling it smells like attempting to sell huge, broad &

The distinction is whether he cheated previously to the Sinquefield Cup or at the Sinquefield Cup itself. It's a critically important distinction.

This is way too much accusation without any evidence, and a terrible blow to Carlsen's sterling reputation. What he should have said was: "Niemann is an admitted chess cheater, and has cheated even more than he has admitted to, pe

One thing that most people don't have an appreciation for is how effective the non-political departments of the US Government are, and also how at risk such jewels are for backsliding into incompetence and corruption if poorly managed.

I'm of the opinion that Microsoft Teams' badness is actually a feature, and makes people not waste time and gossip in it. I'm quoted in this article about this specifically: https://www.protocol.com/workplace&

There is only a small subset of organizations with a small subset of members tackling a small subset of problems that can achieve their goals fully asynchronously. For everything else, synchronous meetings will continue to be essential (and

All of this is just a theatrical farce by business guys. The market went down, Elon doesn't want to pay, Twitter has a pretty good negotiating position, the parties will settle out of court for $3-5 billion.

One of the reasons Teams crashes so much is that Microsoft always uses shared code when they want shared behavior. That's why all Microsoft products use the same file picker - because they're writing that code once and sharing it

Sure, I'm happy for him, but the company can literally vanish, so I'm just saying to be prepared to interview again :)

The value of the building going down on paper is only significant when you denominate it in some currency, like dollars, or hours of labor. When the value of a thing goes from $1000 to $100, the people who lose are the holders of that thing

I don't know we get there, but we need a functional legislative branch that can implement what will be widely popular legislation to prevent large companies from using their market power in obviously anti-consumer ways.

Used right, this can be entirely worth it. We invested in a company at valuation of $X, spent about 6 weeks and $10,000 on Upwork improving the deck, video, animations, branding, etc., which helped them raise another round of capital at $2X

Blockchain is an interesting computer science achievement in secure distributed systems. It's worth learning about as an intellectual curiosity for sure.

The most common way that a phone gets into water is that a woman has the phone in her pocket and it falls into the toilet. Most women's clothing has extremely terrible pockets that cannot securely hold a modern-size smartphone.

Well sometimes "why" is just to stay current. When I was a kid I thought those dated-looking boxes of "JIFFY" cake mix were actually boxes that nobody had bought and had been sitting there for 30 years.

I wanted wired Ethernet in my office but didn't want to punch holes in the wall. Luckily I have an old "central vacuum system" that as far as I can tell has never been even powered on, many years before I bought the house. I
