Advising young graduates to retain humility seems a far stretch from belittling.

Forest for the trees - the study was used to drive home a point about the position in the world these graduates were in. The study wasn't used to incite curiosity about p-values.

What rate do you consider hyperinflation? Are we in it now? What measure are you using? Afaik we’ve been running under 2% inflation for quite some time.

What startups would be worthy of inclusion in that discussion? I'm not familiar with any that'd have any implications on market structure.

The lede says "Washington Area" and "Reston-based", so not exactly misleading. DC Metro area is commonly known to include NOVA and Maryland ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Really disagree. My phone spends as much time face-down on tables, desks etc as it does in my hand. True, it's not "in use" but it's an object in my environment and I care how that looks. 1500 words... yea that was a bit

Can you share details on what specifically isn't computing?

This was my experience and it has worked out really well for me. I've seen a few levels of scale (~120 people to start, ~1500 now), have worked in several different departments and touched nearly every area of the business. Incredible

I'm curious to hear more concrete examples of where companies can actually sit (and be profitable) in these new layers. I understand the basics of the blockchain, and always find myself nodding my head in agreement while reading these

A few others have noted, but search ads are actually perfectly native ads. The form and function are identical to the rest of the stream they are shown in. Setting aside the term "native" then, as the point was much more about bra

It's interesting because I'm the exact opposite. I had an original ipad before I had a smartphone, used it all the time, but then saw an immediate drop in usage when I got the phone. Now as I've gotten more and more used to t

I recommend it, but obviously it won't deliver on that type of hyperbole. I'm on month ~3 and I've lost significant weight but more importantly it's a very manageable diet that I expect to stick with.

This is very true and too many people overlook it. Many "generic" challenges faced by "business" are similar in nature to technical challenges. For example, a common business challenge is organizational design. How do we

You seem to be missing the premise of the argument. You're right that they hedge the downside on this individual deal, but the point is that the upside for this individual deal is still small for KPCB. So why would they do it? Not beca

So every single applicant that sends something in will have a discussion with someone one your team? And you find that time is a worthwhile investment?

Ironic that I see you guys advertising on FB all the time. Would love to chat about your marketing efforts there - from everything I've gathered it's a very difficult channel to scale for most businesses. (My email is in my profil

While I mostly agree with the premise, I'm worried many people will internalize the wrong lesson. It seems to imply that quality, as implicitly defined by the examples provided, is a barometer of success. The reality is that there are

Looks fantastic, and I love FA so thank you for that. Probably too late for this feedback, but the pricing differentials between being a backer and just licensing it when it becomes available were too narrow to entice me to back it. I.e. Th

> I've learned that people are twice as biased as they think they are, which is precisely why biases are dangerous. This is a bit backwards. It's more like an inverse relationship - if you don't think you have any biases y

Assuming that figure is accurate, it's still missing context. 90% are installed that way right now . They do seem to be betting the vendor install channel will continue to be the dominant channel in the future, and that bet will likel

I've found that people who don't cook regularly often overestimate how difficult it is to cook at home. Sure you can go big and cook extravagant meals that take loads of prep time and cook time, but you can also saute some fish fi

Embedded browsers within native apps likely add serious growth for web usage. E.g. Facebook native app is hugely popular, and sends a lot of traffic to a lot of websites within the app's browser.

I suspect that's unlikely - most analytics are focused on time-based sessions, where refreshes don't matter.

HN user btilly has a really helpful essay on the math behind stopping tests earlier than your predetermined sample size. It calls for setting a maximum duration, and provides stopping points along the way. Works similar to the method AirBnB

Where do you find the provisional application date? I read the post, and skimmed the linked patent application but never would have found that in the patent application while skimming the filing. I'm glad that you did find it - that is
