We have been very happy with sources - it doesn't cover EVERY service we use (yet) but taking even just one or two out of in-house ETL is a huge benefit.

It's kind of ironic that this article is presented as a PDF version of a journal paper.

I would add bookings vs. revenue. If you sign up a $120k yearly contract, you have $120k in bookings, but can only recognize $10k of revenue each month.

I would LOVE to see a Founders at Work 2.0 - so many incredible companies have been built since that book was published. The iPhone had just been released, for instance.

Never underestimate the human ability to consume power / CPU / memory / sensors / etc. So far we've never had "enough" of any of these.

the worst thing about "the hard thing about hard things" is that Ben seems to have slowed his blogging output.

I hate this stuff. Steve was pretty explicit to Tim Cook and others that they should never ask "what would Steve do". He knew what that kind of attitude did to Disney after Walt died. It destroyed their creativity for years.

This is true for ALL exploding offers. Not just accelerators or investment term sheets, but for employment as well.

It's amazing to me that medical journals print results based on 20 control and 20 test subjects.

This article only describes a concerted effort to recruit drivers by hailing rides. Lyft still gets paid. I believe that the hail / cancel tactic is unethical, but this article only describes direct recruitment.

So which is it - is poaching another company's drivers bad, or is making secret anti-poaching agreements bad?

I think you should think about it as a multiple of what you would expect per-employee were the company to hire everyone off the street. So if you would get 10k options / employee off the street, what multiple of that is it worth to get

This is a huge pain in the ass. When I travel, I often don't use my phone for many days at a time, and usually return without a charged device.

Nitpick - Ali wasn't at Pixar @ the time of the IPO, though I'm sure he was instrumental during the Disney acquisition.

There's a pretty good case that "mobile" is the 10x force and major change that opens up basically every early web property to disruption. Payments / bitcoin innovation is a second likely 10x factor (in particular for eb

Good point - I hadn't thought about how early stage startups are your customers.

I don't understand how the CEO of a high-growth startup does anything at this level of commitment outside their existing jobs. I barely understand how CEOs do even the one job.

You're right. We should disregard a first hand account and instead believe second or third hand rumors.

It's not clear that Amazon has 100% control over how they distribute video. Rights holders are pretty controlling about DRM, distribution, and what devices can use their content. I don't know anything about the specific deals here
