Knowing what I know, I personally would strongly advice doing any kind of business with Sam Altman.

One of the biggest issues right now, is that we have a community (doctors, scientist, researchers) who need to backup their claims with actual proof's or risk loosing their license/reputation vs a community of "gurus"&#x

So ahead of their time: For security, the commit command will use one-time passwords. This way, even if someone gets the ordinary password of a user, they can't modify the catalog that actually appears at the site. Yet, it was anothe

I'll explain. Most people who criticize contemporary are, usually use a combination of its just a bunch of random lines or a "5 year old could have painted that" - as if the complexity of difficulty of an art piece its what m

Although most people will read this and think, oh more shenanigans from UBER, the reality is (and as a Colombian I know), that the government has failed for years to regulate this industry, which is regarded by all consumers as incredibly p

Founder of Authy here. I've been thinking a lot about this lately and came to the conclusion that the only sensible way to do 2FA are U2F hardware key's. Here's why: First, SMS 2FA. People think SIM port is uncommon, its not

This unfortunately is useless. Account recovery will still allow the hacker to use the phone number that has just been swaped to logon to the email. The weakest link is what matters and in this case you are just putting a bigger door lock o

another shocker. The smell of "Chlorine" in the pools is not caused by "chlorine" but by the urine. Chlorine has no smell when mixed with water. Add urine, and you get the "Chlorine" smell thats typical of pool

No assumption here. The expected return of an asset class like shares and bonds is higher than the annuity, which is always $60,000 and nothing more - this is a fact. But as you said just because the expected is higher doesnt mean the actua

You chose the wrong one. No matter what the article says, the $1M is more valuable. First, the safe withdrawal method of 4% is actually not safe - the safest method of withdrawal is called variable percentage withdrawal and not only takes i

I wanted to take a quick second to dispel this myth. Although I collect watches and I have several high end pieces, including grand complications - none of them are good "investments". You will likely loose money on 99% of watches

I'll go the opposite of most of the comments here. Assuming a NO attitude right from the start is probably not the way to go. Telling them to "Pound Sand" or just plain NO is not in your best interest. First, you should let t

The premise is that having this on the cloud is supposed to make it easier and not require this complex setups. For instance, not needing a recording station in the house that can be stolen or a Telco chipset with an alternative power sourc

It would require me to back-up the ISP router, the Apple Wifi router and 3 cameras - so 5 UPS. Yet even if I did that, given that my Internet connection comes via fiber, if they cut the Fiber, I am still out-of-luck. It's as if an alar

One of the biggest issues with Nest is that they pretend to be a serious company that takes cares of your home needs (security/monitoring, fire & gas prevention and heating) but their products are toy like in that respect. However

I just read both complains. This one is frankly ridiculous. The fact is that Kyle incorporated the company before he met Jeremy. And from Jeremy's complain, he is trying to build the case by saying he was more competent than Kyle. Yet

If you look at gross profit (164.4 million for the first semester 2015) it's a much more comparable metric to what SaaS revenue would be. The problem with overall revenue in this market it that it's a low margin and more that half

Hi, very likely. We will be investing a lot more resources into Authy - Windows Phone App is very high at the top of things we are thinking of doing.

Hi, good question. The reason for the phone number is that we depend on your phone number as part of your identity. Almost all 2-FA systems today use the phone number as a way to send you the code via text/phone call. If you read my bl

Can you point to the source? With net revenues of >100M it looks like they could have just IPO. 6X revenues seems low.

I am saying that valuing a company at a value $10B or $100B it's not outrageous in any way. You said you cannot take seriously any VC that values a company above $10B implying that no company can go above $10B or that they are somehow
