It is, but it's less likely. I should have phrased that better. What I meant by out "of the garage" was the end of the really dynamic period of the company. You can be physically out of the garage with an angel investment but still be co

On the flip side, I've seen founders cling too tightly to control. Sometimes the guy that is really good at getting a version 1 out of the garage is not the same guy that is good at calling the shots once it's a 60 person company. Taking

If you're talking about the US this is a popular misconception. The number of rich and poor people does stay the same from generation to generation. But the people themselves move very fluidly through these brackets. One of the best predi

I wonder if he would have any objection to posting internal Wikileaks emails and documents. In the name of transparency I'd like to see the behind the scenes thought process for posting the cables.

The worst side effect of the drug trade is that it funds a worldwide network of highly capable smugglers. To them drugs are just an arbitrary material to be moved from point A to point B. Drug networks move terrorists, weapons, nuclear ma

Surprised I'm being down-voted. This story is real. Both cars have the same Lidar scanner and other hardware. http://bit.ly/d8nIZp Trace through the people in both stories and you'll see the connections.
