"we encourage the Google Play 2D app store to come to Meta Horizon OS, where it can operate with the same economic model it does on other platforms." - I feel like this might be the rub of this. Google is way behind in building th

Dalton and Michael talk about folks pivoting too much and not fully learning/validating from each pivot in this recent video. Obviously I don't know anything about what you've been doing but perhaps there's some wisdom h

I wondered that too. A subtle endorsement of Sama perhaps. A way of saying there's no bad blood there despite what the press was saying about his 'firing' from YC. Sama did a great job running YC, and certainly made PG a boat

I'm struck by the parallelism between this process of writing the best essay, and the process of developing a successful startup. Both require starting with a good question, that sets the upper bound for the value to be created. Both r

We're an 8 digit ARR DTC brand, not suprised at these results. After the apple/facebook tracking issues we took our spend down to zero as it wasn't working. Facebook has fixed their alogorithms though and full credit to them

You can wring your hands about this, but it's largely a function of interest rates. Those have fallen dramatically over the time period, mortgages used to be in the teens. Let's see if this persists in the new interest rate enviro

Future revenues are discounted to present value using a discount rate that increases as interest rates increase. This is called a discount cash flow model. Initiatively this makes sense because if a future dollar was the same as a today dol

I spent a summer in Papua New Guinea in 1999 where I had the opportunity to meet one of these folks. He was a british man, from Yorkshire, who through force of believe made first contact with the tribe in the 1970s. His first job was to cho

I've played both Cyberpunk and Red Dead Redemption on my Quest 2 via pc link, using Luke Ross RealVR mod [1] and they were amazing. Setting up the tech is fiddly and even when you get it running updates constantly break it, so it'

How have you thought about pricing? I would have thought a small increase in price would make a big difference to your bottom line given the difference between your revenues and profits.

What's your evidence for this? In my experience, losing both my parents and all grandparents, everyone was ready to go long before they did. My dad passed away comfortably in his sleep in reasonable health (for 84 year old) and he&#x27

I agree with you that this is the killer app to unlock the metaverse. When everyone can create their own spaces usage will explode like Facebook or YouTube. What makes you think he's too early though? As long as he can keep funding unt

I hope not, life is precious no matter what someone has done. The bail conditions include mental health support so hopefully that will help.

It's the USDA that will regulate the actual manufacturing and processing, not the FDA. As the article mentions that process hasn't started yet. It's hopefully quicker/easier than the FDA safety approvals however.

This was a real trend, but it's not going to survive the current collapse in VC valuations. It's all well and good selling a puffed up valuation on capital in a bull market but now investors care about profits and fundementals aga

Even if he did invest, why would that weaken Twitter at this point? The deal is done, SBF wouldn't be able to pull his money out of it if he wanted to.

This demand effect is certainly real, but is going to be weighed against the higher rates effect. A lot of the increase in prices was purely mathematically driven by the falling interest rates. The monthly payment if you get a mortgage has

Depends what you want to buy. Asset prices (property, stocks, bonds) are deflating right now, so your purchasing power is actually increasing in regards to those investments.

You can't do that though because at a certain point inflation expectations become inbuilt and then people want to get paid more, spend more now rather than save (expecting higher prices next year) etc etc. This makes those inflation ex

One difference is taxes, the UK price includes VAT whereas the USA price adds tax at checkout so they aren't really comparable numbers. Further, the pound has fallen so you'd expect they have to increase the GBP price to maintain

I'm not sure the peak is driven by fresh eyes. I think fluid intelligence is a big requirement and the brain peaks in that regard in your 20's. It doesn't mean you can't still make great progress later in life, but it su

Depends on the business school. At INSEAD we had a whole elective class devoted to personal psycological decisions like this to get people thinking about what kind of trade offs they wanted to make.
