This article is a shitty stub. That said, I hate door dash as a business and it is undoubtedly not worth $1B. Leaving aside a proper DCF analysis, lets make this simplistic as hell: $1B = 1000 million. It would take >8 years to pay this

No way can I parse 10 hours of PG video. Just rewatched the Calacanis interview and some of Charlie Rose. I vividly remember him speaking about the study, but can't remember if it was an interview or just a speaking engagement (possibl

As long as technology continues to be profitable and money exists, there will be someone lending money and analyzing businesses. I don't, as a rule, hate MBAs. There is certainly a level of skill involved in deep analysis, but I tend t

Paul Graham says this often, and I am paraphrasing here: They did a study at harvard, and they figured out that MBA's flock to the wrong industry right before it dies. It was bonds, equities and then silicon valley in the 90s. It was a

so just to be clear, you are a huge fan of bundled cloud services then? can't really praise them enough? Cheers, will stick with getting better at developing software and not worry about the container craze yet. thanks.

I would offer that there is a definite correct answer to this in most, if not all, cases. It can go either way depending on what is going in your company and market. I would consider a few things before making your choice: * Likelyhood of P

Is there a hello world version of this? I have been trying to pick up IaaS (insanity as a service) and it has been really difficult. At what point does it make sense to use docker? Is it worth learning all of the above crazyness if you have

About 10 years ago everyone got super sensitive with regards to airline security. So you problem couldn't just let a bunch of craigslist temps come in and apply some patches working on the live system. I think the guys over at US could

we need to price this shit in to the goddamn market, having random unpriced externalities that can just be captured by whatever the base cost to obtain them, is reckless. Not only is it not an equitable way to disperse resources, but there

I second this. I like digital ocean a lot for the simplicity and the community. Obviously, it takes a much more bare bones approach, but being greeted with 50 icons on your dashboard, each of them a proprietary product and cost/second

Well, I can appreciate that you conducted yourself with honor. However, here is another data point, equally as anecdotal, showing another story (wikileaks apache video). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Hx-jA2m_hY

No. This makes little sense, is arbitrary and absurd. We need people to be qualified by measurable factors like degrees, years working in a particular field, ability or intelligence and/or other relevant facts. John McCain is a good ma
