I'm not defending Apple's shitbox of a new Macbook Pro and the fact that the latest iPhone can't even be plugged into a computer the company released a just few weeks later is a bad sign. But Macs are a tiny fraction of Apple

Thanks for taking the time to do this. My Q: When one a/b tests there is generally a winner, but a better option might be possible if the team spends a bit more time brainstorming and hypothesizing. Do you have any thoughts on when to

Congrats. Hard to say which to go with but I think it's worth taking a deep look how feasible each is. #1 sounds good, it seems to be less risk with highest reward. And you say this is the one option that is a dream. But if choose this

I agree there are legit problems in the way valuations and fundraising gets reported. But what would you "prefer" they say? I don't see leaking/reporting details of term sheets becoming a trend any time soon. $150mm is ~

I commend this guy for trying to improve improve his skills and writing about it. I'm not sure why he said he's just assuming the stock market data of 1000 stocks offers the type of structure relevant for NLP and this is plausible

I'm really glad you asked this. I've seen the cost, time and effort when professional market research firms or consulting firms do this. But their typical clients are larger companies thinking about launching a new product or maki

This a link to GIPS. The Global Investment Performance Standards website. There's a ton of information on there and a lot of it won't be needed for your project. But going through the handbook might be useful. GIPS is "A glob

OK, I'm not sure what past performance you pulled off these companies websites. But for your portfolios you seem to be claiming you have a 90/10. So I am guessing you are relatively young, in your 20s maybe early 30s. Are the numb

How can you estimate returns? When it comes to investment products like these, there is no way to know what the future return will be . Imagine for example a new first time investor visits the site. They are unfamiliar with these types of

If you are going to be running a team, I would recommend the people who will be reporting to you should be factored into the decision. Do you get to hire them or are you coming to manage an existing team? Also, just in general, since you me

I definitely think investing is confusing to some folks, especially when just starting out it can be intimidating. There's a huge opportunity for new tech ideas and solutions to help clarify and simplify getting started with investing.

Feels like an old school Friday night news drop. Man, Zenefits has had it rough in the press recently. I think Sacks has done an extraordinarily good job as CEO. Hard to put oneself in the CEOs shoes here, but this guy had to make multiple

Whoa. I can't believe how many people are saying just talk to your manager. I am a manager and I really disagree with that advice. Talking to your manager may need to happen at some point but it should certainly not be the first step.
