Yes if you sold 90% of your company its not your company anymore

It perplexes me why such obvious realities are hard to grasp amongst budding entrepreneurs

Where does that misplaced pride come from?

Form the asset, sell the asset. Don't get married to it!


Box has lots and lots of founder and unnecessary executive people

Small pieces of a small pie


yeah but this is for more anonymous sex, not partners that actually talk to each other


Sure, if I can short it

When's the IPO, know anybody in Congress to trade the enforcement actions in advance on my behalf?


its nice to see that they weren't completely delusional about being behind android

very refreshing to see - at the top - their distortion field is just marketing

unfortunately for that list, they never caught up to android in terms of notifications, something Steve Jobs explicitly called out in 2010, wow.


A community that was close or far from Google? Because that's what this article is about


Such a loaded statement. Taxpayers are never ever ever going to get a good deal on their expropriated funds.

The Treasury and Fed were practically running a hedge fund and the military losses are magnitudes higher

> women are 7 times more likely to stop practicing than men

For reference, what is this saying about how many of those that stop practicing are men?

7 times more likely than what? I haven't read the article yet. Any given individual is how likely to 'stop practicing' after a rejection? 10% if man, 70% if woman? 1% if man, 7% if woman?


IIRC it's more like 10:70 than 1:7, a HNsearch should show up stories on this imbalance, have definitely read about it here.


it does, it doesn't have to

the network expends vast amounts of electrical energy because people are competing to earn bitcoin from that network. they will even do it at a loss because bitcoin is 9 billion dollars, and can be between 30 and 70 trillion dollars.

if they turned off their machines it would spend less energy on aggregate, and the system would be just as credible, because I would turn my machines on.


lack of their ubiquitous use you mean? ios added ad blockers and put the ad sector in a tizzy


iOS ad blockers only apply to webkit views. Facebook's app is not effected by ad blockers.


i will never ever install FB app or FB messenger on my cell phone anymore. Firefox with adblock, and if I can't message, well then there is SMS/Viber/Whatsapp/Hangouts/whateva.
