So all these tech startups are just good at raising fund? Is that a business model nowadays? It’s like this startup I worked for and I swear what we did best was hire people to do nothing...

This happens pretty often actually. The same early investors own the media companies so they get to push stories to get companies huge valuations. The media is there to make money too! One thing America lacks is public radio/tv whose g

Google and lots of companies continued to use brain teasers even when they realized it made no sense. Sure they wish to say this after using it for a long time. What I’ve realized sometimes there are barriers to prevent certain people and g

Google bought Motorola for $12.5 billion and sold it at a discount...Google just doesn't get user experience. Google bought so many user experience startups and yet they have nothing to show after so many years...

It seems like companies exist nowadays to raise funding. Not to be profitable businesses. Say they go IPO soon after, where does the money come to actually run the company? Is there a designated pool of shares for that? Do they buy back the

Of course there are ways to beat the lottery. For one, ask the clerk which ticket to buy. They will gladly give you the one most people win from. Also you can study the patterns. If you buy the same ticket over and over, a streak of losing
