This is the real question, I would like to see VCs here commenting on investments they made that were not through their network.

Extremely interested in an answer to this. I've tried many of the things that people recommend and while I don't have any hand injuries from typing yet, I would like to avoid them. The suggestions that people typically recommend d

They won't see another penny from me. I assume a large amount of people will feel the same. Can't wait for Stallmans next project, I will be donating to that instead.

It is just a desire for time optimization. I would love to get the same satisfaction that I get from sitting and thinking deeply about every sentence of a complicated or nuanced text, in less time without loss of bandwidth. If I could read

This is an absolutely incorrect and unrealistic estimation for the majority of the people waiting tables. I started writing up a long thing calculating this out and stopped myself. I am going to assume you are commenting in good faith, so I

Can't budget very well, or save at all if you make exactly how much your base-level living expenses are bud. I'm still eating ramen at the end of the month. What am I supposed to be budgeting here? Count out my bowtie pasta pieces

You know what would be 10x as useful as this AND account for survivorship bias? If you did this same format but instead only talking to founders who failed one or even multiple times before eventually getting in. Then they could compare and

He means anonymous from bank actors and state actors obviously. When you transfer money with a bank or wire service they know who you are and who you are transferring money to. Nobody afaik, knows who either of these wallets are held by.

I don't know if it is just me but pieces like this just make me angry at the culture that surrounds SV. It makes me feel sick to my stomach to read this kind of thing even if they are trying to be tongue and cheek about it.

I purposefully decided not to attempt to use a bunch of excuses to get out of it actually, because I was interested in the experience.

I've gotten offers from places like this, the pay deduction is staggering. If I got an offer that paid even the median of what I can make on the coasts, in a place like upstate New York I would get out of the coasts in a heartbeat and

It is actually kind of funny, I know what deconstruction is, and I would call the two quoted paragraphs pretty clear. They don't do a horrible job of describing what it is. I think it just takes being steeped in the jargon of the field

The answer is there are many ways in which the trust documentation can be completed and structured. Clearly you have never heard of this type of structure since is it really common even in normal trusts. It isn't really that weird. For

As a serious answer for anyone reading this who might be curious, even though the the above comment is probably not asking seriously. Most of these situations the land is placed in a thing called a 'land trust', at least that is t

This is the same thing I was thinking about this Marvin Minsky portion of the story as well. No offense to her and not knowing the full context, but I'm going to go out on a limb and assume that very few trafficked prostitutes know who

I recently had a phone interview where the other person kept asking me about my life. It wasn't the typical things you normally hear about career goals or ambitions, it was very philosophical. I was quite literally asked about what my

The recent Foxconn plant in Wisconsin that may or may not be happening is a great example. They committed earlier, and claim now that their initial estimates were incorrect and that a plant in that area will not be profitable for them. They

I had a professor at university who acted that way about Agile. He thought he was literally Uncle Bob incarnate. But when you looked at his credentials, he had never once worked in a real production environment, he had only ever taught.

I feel like this sort of transformation is happening with the beats writers in the contemporary day. Their influence is rapidly shifting as culture shifts.

It is really to the detriment of the states that allow it. I constantly feel as though due to noncompetes I will be forced to make a move to California in order to further my career on any reasonable timeline. I can't actually know tha

CPS are often terribly trained and sometimes downright horrible people. They do all sorts of large scale scrutiny on perfectly fine homes, and then will turn a blind eye on children who are being horribly neglected. They tear families apart

I saw a recent statistic on the talent.works blog that might be interesting to this discussion. They had a sample size of around 6-10k and found that women had a much higher interview rate than men, at all levels of experience, and across m
