"People said they were 14.2% more likely to buy this chocolate bar when they were shown the version with a cost breakdown." What people say they would do and what they actually do are 2 very different things. The conversion rate o

This feels similar to the "MBA cofounder" profile of someone who has the mindset: if I just had an engineer to build my idea then this would be big. Every engineer knows it doesn't work that way (but many who charge by the ho

It is recommended to use "dollar cost averaging" while selling your shares. This means selling your shares gradually (assuming you are seeking some diversification). That guards against volatility in the stock price. https:/

Police actively try to resist this. I saw something really interesting when getting pulled over by the police a while back (on a boat). When they saw us recording them while they were writing a ticket, they shined a bright flashlight at our

Good points. The most direct answer is that in the last 2 years they invested heavily in Airbnb Experiences. If they skipped this, they would probably be profitable.

Would you rather invest in a $1B / year company that has a 10% profit margin and is growing 10% YoY or A company that is doing $1B / year with a 10% loss due to investment in growth but is growing at 30% YoY? Both options are reas

It's pretty obvious that collecting a binder full of maxed out credit cards is a bad idea that most would avoid. The point PG is making is one of contrast - despite how dumb this is, they did it anyways (and it happened to pay off). He

This is such a healthy perspective in a world where it has become fashionable to hate on wealth creation.

For the same reason gold is an "investment." It's a store of value and a hedge against government controlled currencies such as the US Dollar.

Can we talk about how the Airbnb founders managed to hold onto 45%+ of the company after $5B+ in funding?

Like janitors, yes. However you can still go a level up, perhaps to support people. And then another level up, like to entry level sales people.

I absolutely love the historic example of taxes that Benjamin Franklin talks about in his biography: he says he went to all his neighbors' houses and asked if they wanted to chip in a nickel a week and have one of the neighborhood boys

I bet it's actually easier to change the median. Often you'll scale a sales or support team (much lower cost than engineer) and these teams can often balloon especially if the company has a direct positive margin on their work (ge

This is such a good point. It's as if the argument is that more taxes is good no matter what rather than knowing what/why you're taxing in the first place.

This raises some interesting questions / side effects: 1) Companies may now have a direct incentive to have their lowest income earners be outsourced/contracted out to boost the median pay amount. 2) It was smart of them to includ
