This guy isn't qualified to give advice. Re-ThinkDB doesn't even have a business model. Where's his success in business to make him think that he's even qualified to give advice? D…

My guess is that his misguided opinions stem from Edward never having made a dollar on his own. That and/or a worthless liberal-arts degree that has filled him full of statist phil…

I’m tired of this of all of this PC bullshit. I wouldn’t invest in a company run by a pregnant woman either. It takes unbridled commitment to a vision to become a successful entrep…

It is ridiculous to suppose that one's score on a multiple choice test is an accurate measure of innate ability or real-world intelligence. The SAT, ACT, IQ tests, and all standard…

Exactly... Facebook's IPO didn't fail because Zuckerberg wore a hoodie. Facebook's IPO failed because the company was grossly overvalued. $42/share, really? I can't stand academics…
