Sorry to break the news to you, boz, but FB is a toxic waste of X. Fire yourself, pls.

I just think this story is not worth talking about. Two people created a fake website. That is the story. This is a span story.

So the IRS has no way of validating these numbers (they do require brokers to provide the numbers these days)? Overall I'm just not buying that this story is true, in other words.

How can you do your taxes if your trades are not executed?

Bad Blood is an awesome book. Really disturbing. There's a story about a naive stanford grad who joined Theranos and tried to blow a whistle internally when he realized that the "E…

I'm playing the smallest violin in the world for these guys, a la Reservoir Dogs :-). I hope they can find a new job :-( if they can't suss out this 2b :-(((

Glad to see founders get the employee treatment ;-)

Looks like both Benchmark and Travis Kalanick wanted to sell more stock than they were able to. Can someone explain who was able to sell stock and how their sell preferences were p…

What, exactly, has been fixed? What leads you to believe that the supply of Uber driver's will exceed zero once Uber can no longer lose over a billion dollars a quarter in subsidiz…

The saddest thing about Travis Kalanick's story is that he was ousted because his greedy investors were afraid they wouldn't see a 20x return on their investment, and not because o…

Two points: 1. You write as if Uber has solved the transportation problem sustainably. The end state of an Uber job is that it will pay less than minimum wage. Why? Because the bar…

Reading something like this: I feel like TWTR users need to find a better product.

Newtons method and linear algebra. High school math, basically.
