So when the economy is booming they do as good as S&P. I wonder how they'd compare in a recession. S&P:4% and VCs:?

I hate airbnbs because they either charge $20 to send someone to pick your garbage or you have to haul garbage publicly and find a place to dump it. I understand it costs money but just build it into your daily rate and don't nickel an

I can guess (however unlikely it may be) how Uber might some day make money through its monopoly power or use of autonomous cars and justify its valuation. I just can't imagine how WeWork could continue growing and turn a profit if it

Why doesn't Uber spend less on Engg and pay more to their drivers- which may actually help its business.

if for no reason than to see the error of their ways. Large MNCs don't think twice about the havoc they create in individual's lives when they lay them off.

Family health insurance costs $24K/yr. Rent is atleast $24K/hr. Those 2 alone will kill you...

wow- I didn't even have the patience to read through all of them. How does YC coach so many? At 15 min a startup, they can cursory mentor 32 startups/day or 160/wk if they do nothing else. That doesn't seem like coachin

Sure- and if they report which employees attend meetings and who spend more time at the water cooler, their rent and valuation will go up. That is some serious stretching of possible ways to make money

Fortunately I live wo either of these im tools. I know I'd go crazy trying to live an 'always on' life. I doubt the numbers MS throws around though to show how they are succeeding. If they are bundling Teams with Windows or O

If a restaurant is within 10 min of me, I just drive to it myself. If its 15+ min one way, I'll use DoorDash, but I don't get why the driver would drive 30 min for $5 including the use of their car and gas.

So almost $4B of their losses were were from stock costs to employees. All hell might break loose if the drivers ever found out how much Uber employees made/make!

For god's sake- please speed it up. I have a kid playing AAA little league and most games go over the 2 hour limit with just 4 innings played. Soccer, Basketball, Flag Football are all 1 hour games tops and involve a lot more running,

This is the crux of the problem. Sometime ago- the wise people in power decided to push the responsibility of medical coverage onto employers. Funny they chose that instead of housing or food- but thats what it is. Now everyone has to find

I don't understand startup valuations well, so would appreciate someone more knowledgeable throwing some light on how these valuations are made. Would I be in the ballpark in assuming that they have a Sales ARR of $125M. At a sales mul

I think most of the comments here are incredibly short sighted. I see this as a huge development. Nobody cares about fuel consumption when inventing a new mode of transportation that says goodbye to roads, airports, boats. This is just insa

Maybe they can just convert a bunch of their contractors to fulltime and create new customers for their Pixel phones, Chrome laptops- like Ford did 100 years ago.

I don't understand why no one that Satoshi collaborated with can ask him about stuff that only Satoshi would know. Isn't that the simplest way for both sides to prove it?

Now why can't we find honest reviews like this for most software. Why do customers have to endure this in this age of Gartner magic quadrant/G2 and similarly fawning and often paid for marketing mumbo jumbo.

Most large tech companies- think FB, Apple, Microsoft, Cisco are similar. Amazon surprisingly has a low ratio of contractors (they say under 10%)- probably because their fulltime benefits are so cheap it doesn't make a difference or ma

I agree it would be silly to expect companies to do everything themselves, but the example was of contractors (recruiter in this case) doing similar work to and under the direction and control of a full-time employee, at the Google facility
