Self-reported opinion is terrible. That assumes people would be honest about it ...

That would lead to general inflation. You need to give comments on both directions. What I'd like to see is article downvoting. As it stands there is no user-inflicted punishment for posting a sensationalized or otherwise terrible article

If you are an apple fan, then it seems balanced. On an absolute level it is not balanced. You notice this subtle bias everywhere, most likely because many people use macs. I've seen questions about how to do something in linux/windows dow

Terrible play. The only reason prices held up is because of the illustrious stock circuit breaker precluding shorting today. To buy the dip, put on a "covered call" position by buying the stock and serially selling weekly calls at a higher

To understand why swing-for-the-fences mentality prevails, you have to understand the VC model. People raise funds and generally shoot for +10x exits. So, for a particular vintage, a VC fund of 10M aims to grow to 100M. They are squeezed

It's easier to get more money on better terms if you have an MVP and can show some traction. I'm not suggesting to squeeze every penny, but you have leverage in discussions when you can do it that way.

github, for example. Owners wanted a large equity event, and they wanted money for a larger expansion.

Do you actually need significant capital investment to put out an MVP? If not it may make sense to get that out first and then discuss the seed.

"If you need VC money, you just missed the last train." That's not true if you have a business that can sustain itself for a few years. There's a ton of VC money still there (the stock market, real estate, bonds etc aren't as appealing as

You aren't giving enough details to make a reasoned decision. What are the equity stakes? Does the CEO improve your chances of success far enough to compensate for the expense? If because of the CEO you can turn around and raise $250M, th

There are things like adblock which allow you to fully experience facebook sans ads. Yes, there is tivo etc, but you have to pay extra to get out of the ad experience (and it doesnt always work). TV ads are much more intrusive than FB ads,

" They keep cheerleading on a clear conflict of interest, non-stop" That's their business model: they buy and then pump the companies in hopes that someone will buy stake from them at a higher valuation later. The nature of the VC model pr

Adding "real money" isn't as simple as it sounds. Internet gambling in the US, if it returns, will be highly regulated.

If there is a loosening of internet gambling and gaming acts, I fully expect the process to be highly regulated. MGM and Las Vegas Sands are equipped to handle the gaming requirements, but more importantly they have a core gambling busines

Closing business for a day: labor cost = 0. That means less burn. He must be bleeding for cash given the timing (3 months). At this point, business owner has to amortize the labor cost across fewer waffles.
