The sad thing is these breaches are so common place nowadays most of us regular folk just assume all our personal information is compromised to some degree. I'll be curious to see if this breach has any real material business impact.

I'd recommend you create a blog where you write interesting posts on different trends, analysis, etc. from all the data you're collecting. I'd be interested to know if current events drive the frequency of certain book recomm

Hah, I wouldn't put it past him to add published author to the list. Another oddity to his life that I forgot to mention is that he worked in hospice for 6 years prior to getting sick. So he's experienced both the employee and cus

My brother was diagnosed with a rare form of sarcoma (cancer) at age 35. Basically was given about a 10% to live. 180 servings of chemo/radiation later we started lining up hospice and he prepared to say goodbye to his 2 young kids and

Timing. Do it before the bad PR and bubble talk leave no more "greater fools" and makes it harder to pull off an ICO.

Really like the product and idea. Tools like this are the future of the internet. For problems/questions where a decent answer requires multiple inputs from the user, Google doesn't cut it. I think you'll start to see this AI

Yeah, RoN is my preferred RTS throwback game. Such a good game. I think the later ages are poorly done though. I usually limit the game to 2-3 age advancements. Super fun.

Still wrapping my head around the Bitcoin ecosystem, but listened to an interview of Nick Szabo by Tim Ferris where Nick pretty explicitly indicates that increasing the block size isn't a good idea and shouldn't even be a debate.

Agreed. Likely to get a good deal of survivorship bias here.

Home care is a really hard business. We aren't just talking about scaling up cab rides. This in putting min wage workers in sick individuals homes. Moving slow is advised.

With all the bad PR Uber has gotten lately it makes sense that they may wait longer but I'm surprised AirBnB hasn't already gone public.

Physical rehab has some of the highest Medicaid/care reimbursement rates and you should see how many dementia patients are getting pointless "rehab" to the maximum a facility can bill.

Keeping people alive too long is definitely a really difficult problem. Having walked through many dementia floors in nursing homes, I'd prefer to have some reasonable way of opting for assisted suicide in my will. Maybe once a consort

That's a very interesting model and I'd be curious to see what kind of success you're having. Meds is always a very complicated issue - add in seriously sick people and it becomes even more difficult. Pill pack companies that

I was hoping to see a little more analysis as well. We did a study[1] about people moving for marijuana and we were surprised to find people were fairly open about discussing the topic. But I'd be very curious to see more about how con

Some of the sneakier coupon sites will put up other, competing products that do have affiliate programs to try and flip people into a product where they get paid.

I was with you until that last sentence. Are you saying RTMN's model is the same value proposition as all affiliate marketers? Sites like Expedia, Wirecutter, and hundreds of other review or aggregator websites that monetize through af
