"pw" a simple perl script that prints a random password. default length is 16 chars but if I do "pw 8" it will return an 8 char password

I use it all the time, at least a few times a week.

I wrote it because the secure passwords generated by iOS and various password managers are overkill for most purposes and extremely hard to type out by hand to an airgapped destination

This year Instacart hired Goldman Sachs banker Nick Giovanni to be their CFO. He led multiple companies through a direct listing IPO, all from the banker side.

Interesting, right?

I'm surprised the Reuters article didn't mention this. I guess everyone is busy.

My company spent precious developer hours this week 'fixing' old intranet websites that recently started giving Chrome 'insecure' warnings on internal links. HTTP is definitely not a risk in this scenario. And PG's website is not a risk either.

Google's war on http is misguided, dumb, and wasteful.

One way to do so via a public company is to invest in: TriplePoint Venture Growth BDC Corp. (TPVG)

They make late stage investments in private companies. Read a few of their quarterly reports to get an idea of their recent deals.

There is no reliable way I know of to cherry-pick individual companies like AirBnB unless you are an accredited investor.

Many private companies are staying private for longer, with an average time from launch to IPO creeping up toward 10 years or more. Most unaccredited investors are missing all of those substantial early gains.

Does LTSE have any plans to help speed the path to IPO and let more unaccredited investors participate in early growth and success?

With a few hundred thousand to invest I'd probably do a 3-way split between:

https://www.thesyndicate.com/ - back Jason's next 50 deals at 2K each

Put 25K each into the next 4 YCombinator deals at https://fundersclub.com/

Put 50K in the next 2 quarters at AngelList Access Funds https://angel.co/v/access-fund

If you do any of this give me a follow at @baccredited and let me know how it goes. I just followed you as well.

Hey - I like the telegram choice for this. I know you are getting some questions about it but I prefer it actually. Not everything needs to be on the web, indexed, and archived forever.

For me it isn't worth it. Keep a paper copy of the important stuff, like your life insurance policy. Show your spouse where you put it.

If you have a decent chunk of life insurance it will make chasing down the other stuff much less important.
