Another issue with startups is pivots. Years ago I went all in with my company on a calculator startup, then they pivoted to an AI-focused solution that was so far from their original value prop that they became useless. Left a gap for our

Distraction from what? Yes, taxing plastic/pollutants would be ideal. Designing new biodegradable synthetics would be great. But this organisation has inarguably done good in the world. There's no need to detract from that.

I have a question about calculator building, if anyone has a suggestion. My industry revolves around quite complicated calculators, with anywhere from 10 to 50 data inputs - and the result are large projection tables and charts. These still

Thanks for posting. I've just had a quick glance over the first chapter of your book and I like the simple approach you take to explaining the core elements of vue.js and SPAs. Will be keeping an eye on your progress.

Absolutely not the case. Here in Australia city and state hospitality organisations are very vocal in opposition to airbnb. The usual argument is why should they be paying to meet licensing/safety requirements when airbnb hosts can ren

How can they advertise 6 to 12% annual returns (12%!!!) for lenders when 1) PeerStreet have to take out their 0.25-1% fee && 2) All of the Big Banks are offering home mortgage rates of <4%? When the numbers are this far apart, I
