curious to see that interview, do you remember link?

this was great. i hope someone just recuts video with exactly this soundtrack

In applying for O1/EB1, does rejection hurt future applications?

this is a great reply that deserved more

wait what are the five bad things in baking bread?

how do missive and front compare to each other? Do you find one superior?

author here! haha, yes I love Procreate. i use it for all my (very bad) drawings in blog posts.

And all i wish is that someone would make plugin to integrate procreate and figma nicer

procreate is so great

oh god you're right haha, I malaphor'd that

appreciate the kind words!

Author here!

Yes, totally right. There was a bunch i wanted to write about Adobe. Both XD and the current moves they've made with CC etc. But had to cut because too much--so hopefully will have an essay entirely on Adobe coming at some point

This is really fantastic reply and context. Thanks for posting this!

When you see research like this, assuming all things trend positive (big if of course) what is the timeframe one expects to see it make its way to mainstream application?

Can't reveal product without their permission.

But know of 1 person company that generates $500k revenue per year and gets its customers via SEO.

Do you have link to original announcement?

Just binge read this. It was great--any other recommendations?

Yup. People sometimes use ARR to mean multiple things. Previous poster was referring to run-rate which likely was the run rate for GMV--versys ARR which I assume you mean as annual revenue

Yes, but would be tough, since how could you guarantee you deleted the data you stole

Uber does not need the amount of money it raises because of vehicle automation. That's a relatively tiny portion of their spend.

Don't Think Twice is a fantastic movie. Highly recommend it

Think they mean the company was hiring one person. Not that they were looking for an unmarried person.

Don't think this article disagrees with most of your statements. The leverage of money is cyclical--so it's not incongruous that at different time periods the profile of growth vs profitability focus of startups funded varies.

Why when you already got the post money equity at 33%...

Many streamers/ esports teams / etc make good portion of their money from selling merch.

Wish he would also put how easy they are to untie. I've realized that the ideal knot is optimizing not just how secure the knot is and how fast to tie it. But also how fast to untie it, which is often anti-correlated with how secure it is.

This is great. I wish it was a more of a thing in our society for people to keep their letters as well as create oral histories.

Could you elaborate on creating access?

On the last point of passing it on. The key is to find secrets with network effects on awareness. Secrets that degrade in utility as more people know them are the weakest form. Stronger are those that get better as more know them. Even stronger are those that accrue even more value when you explain to people it gets stronger as it spreads.

Proliferation of SPVs. Retail will get in on it. Eventually will spread to non AAA deals. Private market bust.

No statement on whether this should be true or not.

But the reason it was started was because students didn't have the credit history to get loans at all--especially since the thought was they had no credit to lose so they would be incentivized to just default immediately after graduating.

Which is why student loans were made non-defaultable, to make a market for student loans possible.

At FB scale, a very small percentage change in user engagement/behavior/etc is very meaningful.

So guessing it does--but wouldn't necessarily extrapolate it to what small startups should do.

Agreed. But to different degrees. In its current form this would be the strongest--since you can never leave if you want any of those shares.

Also, consider this. Someone who joined one month before IPO would get more from the kicker than someone who worked for years and then left 1 month before IPO.
