I'm sorry but there's no correlation to AMZN's stock price reaching all-time highs. 1) The entire world was caught in a two-year pandemic and caused e-commerce to exceed retail spending virtually overnight (See: SHOP, BIGC, e

One of my first startup experiences was working on the multiplayer platform that supported Quake Live. We eventually licensed it to Riot Games for what became League of Legends but both games were significantly delayed and we ran out of fun

This is exactly right. I use to build these bots in Visual Basic back in the 90s which is what led me down this path.

The fact that you assign innovation purely to science/engineering is why many startups fail. You don't seem to recognize that innovation happens across all segments of the business. Plenty of ingenious products never reach critica

This is exactly how I feel as an end-user over the same time period to the point that I don't even login anymore except for work. It's exhausting and it's no longer about the projected vision of "connecting people",

In my experience working in finance and healthcare as a founder, education and cash flow needs box out poor people from conventional banking; they live check to check, public schools in poor areas are below average, et al. Poverty feeds on

Same!! So many fond memories of the early web. I miss what was that "new frontier" feeling.

I may be misunderstanding your question but I'm a big fan of Denon (or Marantz) receivers w/ HEOS. Their AVR line can support up to 3 zones and can be paired together. I have 11.2 and 9.2 powering 18x speakers and a sub in my hous

I use Personal Capital and love it. It's just better when you have a variety of 15+ assets and supports things like Carta. Admittedly, it's been a long time since I used Mint but I now need a much broader view. I don't really

I didn't fully appreciate the value of our data room until it mattered. Since the last deal, we've kept our data room impeccable and exceptionally granular. We're also way more sensitive about the timing of what we share and

Direct primary care is (generally) much cheaper for better quality/more holistic care. I think DPC is particularly attractive if you’re a low utilizer on an HDHP and never hit your deductible.

The 'problem' you just described has nothing to do with crypto-currency as the 'solution'. Apple Pay is the most frictionless payment system I've used, can integrate with the browser, and attached to any of my credi

The comments in this thread are hilarious. I guess some of you all have forgotten about that can of duster you’ve relied on for the last 30+ years to clean the muck from just about every keyboard. I don’t understand the rage... I use my MBP

Size and shape reminds me of the arguement the music industry made about CD packaging and inserts being tangible, value-adds to the listening experience. Turns out, especially with a lot of CPGs now being sold online, consumers care more ab

I find Dark Sky to be the best forecasting tool for weather within the hour. It's almost always ahead of all the other apps in terms of the latest forecast.

I don't even know that many people who "store value in gold". The ones that do are usually also the people screaming that the sky is falling, at which point I favor guns, ammunition, and food & water.

That's preposterous. Healthcare startups are doing just fine managing HIPAA, which includes up to $1M fine and prison time for violating patient privacy.

I travel a lot. The problem isn't your first bag, it's that a lot of people also store their second bag in overhead which should go at their feet but they want to stretch their legs. This adds way more problems than the first bag.

Google "travel hacking", learn the game, play the game, and then thank me later. :)

I don't disagree, I think it's a great opportunity for Amazon to make this a big win for their optics - externally for consumers who are starting to view them as the new Walmart and internally for WF employees. I just felt I neede

A lot of finger pointing at Amazon but most of the employment demands from the 'union' have been characteristics of Whole Foods since looonnngg before the aquisition. For example, unpaid paternity/maternity leave, no recognit

Correct. "one of the fastest..." is more accurate. The new m4's beat the i3 0-30 but only by a few fractions. In any event, it's very very fast for an urban commuter and I annoy plenty of people driving AMGs and Porsches

One of us is correct, depending on what the other is talking about. But "FAR behind" is a bit of a gross overstatement. I also don't understand your negativity except that it must be rooted in a love affair for Tesla/Elo

A used, low-mile i3 BEV (comparable to Leaf) is around $10-15k. I bought the REX which gives me 'unlimited' distance.

Yes, it's a clown car but I'm okay with that. Resale dropped due to federal tax credits and BMWs aggressive leasing plans. For me, it was an experiment to try EV and I'm 100% sold. It also pushed me to go full solar on the ho

The Range Extender means you can drive across United States without depending on the grid; the REX is a gas re-generator. The BimmerCode hack(s) makes it more enjoyable to actually go the distance. I now have a combined 140 miles per charge

I think Tesla's are beautiful and have set the bar, but if you want a capable & cheap alternative, look at a used BMW i3. Resale value sunk for many reasons but has bottomed. <salesman>I bought a 2016 fully-loaded REX with 5,
