I wish this article hit on an important point: when should the persistent quit? We all know we should know when to hold and when to fold, but in practice that's a hard decision to make especially when we're invested. And someone w

Well that’s exactly the point. There was another recent article here on cartels that suck small amounts of blood from lots of people. Too small for anyone to individually care but collectively a lot! What’s particularly insulting is that cr

Just because you “can” self learn, is it worth the time to self learn? As he mentions in article the deal needs to move fast or one side may bail. If you have amateur hour seller, the buyer is more likely to back out. This isn’t AdWords wh

Raise property taxes? Those are usually a rounding error in a rental P&L (and it’s tax deductible) The only way I see out of this mess is to ban ownership of SFH by anyone other than…single families as primary owners. Corporations, for

Disclaimer: I used to work at a live video streaming company as a financial analyst so quite familiar with this The biggest cost is as you imagine the streaming - getting the video to the viewer. It was a large part of our variable cost an

Too many articles with a kid getting hurt or dying. As a new parent these are so much harder to read now: I feel like I can just start to understand the pain the parents went thru. In a blink your world is turned upside down and your joy is

To me it was character development. His whole persona is this independent persona - his genius puts him above normal people, rules, and his team is merely there to execute his ideas and bounce ideas off of (like his ball). Despite all of th

I've recently become a father to a son as well, and it's so difficult to imagine the magnitude of loss. We've already poured so much love into him and received so much, the thought of losing him is beyond heartbreaking. The

I mean I gotta give respect to Apple. They seem to have done the minimal technical compliance with the order. Users can make a purchase for their app outside of the App Store. But at the same time they put in as much friction as they could,

two pieces of advice: First, you don’t need anyone’s permission here. If you want to build American made toasters, go do it! Second, before you dive into this I’d recommend a little more due diligence. Around requirements sure (there was a

Wow this shatters my assumption that prices were generally the same in my metro. I figured real estate, prevailing wages, etc were main drivers of price but there’s a lot of variability despite that. I wonder why? My guess is different fran

Hahaha - what a BS argument! And if I have a MacBook, for instance, do I have a choice in downloading the app from the iPad store or the iPhone store? No, there’s just one for my device! And do I have a choice to use a non Apple App Store?

There’s a reason why companies break things and ask for forgiveness later Can you imagine Uber or open AI trying to get all the proper rules out the gate? It would either be a non starter or extremely expensive. And at the end of the day i

This isn’t surprising - there was a wired story about phones surviving from planes back in 2011 (1) The gist is that it’s a light object and due to that + broad shape, its terminal velocity is not very high. Coupled that with the mass and t

What a petty response. I was expecting more of a statement: Carta does not spam or solicit our customers’ investors. In this case, there was a salesperson who broke our rules, and they have been terminated. We apologize for the mistake. Ple

I’m surprised none of the top comments mention that California will be banning gas cars starting in 2035, with a handful of other states following So whatever problems are being mentioned here…will have to be figured out in the next 10 year

Marketer here. I’ll add how my company does it (10m+ list size) 1) we limit promotional notifications to one per user per day. All campaigns that target a given user are ranked based on expected monetization or engagement. This involves a l

The point is to take a pause to consider it. People are generally quick to throw things out or make commitments without thinking it through, see it all the time It sounds like your team considered it - we can’t see an obvious why, it’s much

Author makes some fair points but not thinking about indirect monetization Suppose you have a marketplace app, making $1 billion per year. You integrate a shopping AI bot that improves customer LTV 10%, so now your sales are $1.1 billion,
