random websites - hide my real name, mostly to avoid tracking where I think it's safe and want to present my views transparently and think something positive could come from it, my real name. That is so far the case here on HN, though

I wonder if these investors have a liquidation preference as they would in normal VC rounds. And if it's a 1x preference (as is normal) or if a higher multiple is built in.

No, they are publishing rules, citing those rules as published in court hearings regarding antitrust etc., and then covertly disregarding their own rules when it is convenient for them.

This specific issue is a central part of the US DOJ antitrust case against Apple, so there's a team of attorneys-general who think its unlawful.

Forgive the arrogant tone here. But just to speak to a moment to the poor 'non-technical founder' or 'idea person' being pilloried: If you find the article and comments depressing, ignore them. They sound reasonable, but

I have often thought of this. It may turn out that those inefficiencies are fairly small - the devices themselves small, well insulated, etc. One would have to do the maths. But I imagine that cooling all the air with AC (and letting it le

Brazil. Sale of ecigs is not permitted, cigarettes have the usual restrictions (but not taxed as heavily as some other places). Still - I have to give it to them. I get the feeling it was the right call. No vaping ads and vape shops everywh

Perhaps less so in the UK and other places than in the US? It's TV so who knows, but I loved the episode in The Crown where Princess Margaret says to a middle-class Margaret Thatcher something like "Just say 'What?'. Ne

I find the work week is often short to get bigger multi-person things done, and when doing them over 2 weeks the weekend in the middle really breaks the rhythm. A lot of the discussion centers on individual productivity - but so little of w

This is actually brilliant. Quizzes are ideally used to get people putting in the effort: studying during the semester and nudge them away from procrastinating/crunching at the end (thus are low stakes). But even with low stakes they n

This is the second article that I've seen on the front page of HN. Both had comment counts in the high hundreds. I have to say, for all Netflix's foibles, that certainly shows a lot of interest in the product. In a sense having a
