Totally right. The art and science of translation is an age-old debate and where AI isn’t super well suited. We’re not at a point where it ends up more than a summary but the point…

The Nvidia competitor piece is a very good reason to fire him. Way out of his circle of competence and not necessary to the mission of the company. This is what happens when a non-…

I had a friend who worked there and we discussed potential solutions to this after the 2019 spike (I worked at a BNPL fintech and now at an insuretech). It was really a lot for a s…

I believe that discrimination narrative is largely based on test scores. Which are, and it took me decades to come around to this, fairly biased. Outcomes have been shown to be pre…

You’ll be good - you’ve done the hard part :). Just reach out if you fall back into it! Also, every interaction Is social - keep up the new skill when you shop, chat online, get ga…

I’m all for this (meaning bringing diverse co-investors into rounds). I’d add that as entrepreneurs we should add LP riders when doing rounds (where’s your money from?!). Can’t say…

Tbf, that sounds like a bit of a weird spot in LAH :). But generally agree with your point!

Pro-tip: put something actually interesting about you personally on the resume. Literally the first thing I look at after scanning background and making an immediate decision. I th…

Definitely don’t joke about it - but people should be aware that poor performance or behavior won’t be tolerated. The best employees generally appreciate that meritocracy is taken …

Yea, it doesn’t sound musical. Just like construction is happening every time it’s windy

Yea I do. Our neighborhood on nextdoor is pretty unhappy...

This is why disparate impact backtesting and go-forward monitoring should be done on all credit model releases

How would you do that without including a variable that raises a flag with the regulators? There are ways to improve access to credit for marginalized classes but this is generally…

Why’s that frightening? Over the last 20 years they’ve disrupted a bunch of incumbents through better customer experience and ruthless execution. I think Amazon’s lack of clear mor…

May be worth reading the Federalist papers. I’m doing so now and the Founders go into why they didn’t think direct democracy would work at any scale. Didn’t even really work at the…

I actually sort of thought this was the common POV for anyone within tech. Controlling google searches for your name, putting fake content on social media, etc. are obviously only …

The Affirm loan product for peloton is 0% only (with no late fees in any circumstance).

I think this is way oversimplifying things. Hotels and apartments are zoned differently and regulated and managed differently. There are negative externalities in apartment buildin…

It's not really stupid if you realize it's very likely an Uber PR piece masquerading as an article :). In that sense, it makes quite a bit of sense!

I think you underestimate what a dumpster fire that group is

Presumably this a PR article?

No one touching this one?

Whether it's true or not, you realize this article is purely driven by Uber PR, right?
