    I use the safari reader view mode as well. It is decent, but the black/grey setting with white text still looks a bit off. I prefer the Evernote 'simplified article' mode through s…

    Is there a way to listen to podcasts without ads? I have tried Podblocker on the mac app store. It doesn't work very well.

    It's interesting to see the degree that opinions have changed in time, the contrarian relationship between economic expectations and economic performance, and other fear mongering …

    GPRO was egregiously expensive post-ipo but shorting the damn thing cost an arm and a leg. I haven't followed TWLO.

    If you are as confident as you sound you may want to pay the 10 % annualized to short some shares, especially if it pops after the IPO. I tend to get annoyed when people have extre…

    So why not short the stock? You will likely have to wait until after the IPO and may pay an arm and a leg for the privilege with limited initial float, but it's entirely up to your…

    The drop seems excessive to me, even taking into account BABA's daily performance. Bought some shares but didn't bother hedging against BABA so it's essentially an investment in BA…

    The yahoo dip is even larger, considering yahoo's stock is primarily Alibaba. If it were split into two companies the dip would likely be >20%.

    How do you set this up in IB? I have a decent amount of long positions that this seems really useful on (especially since they will be selling float regardless)

    How is your relationship with Charles Adler? It seems like you left kickstarter at similar times with similar motivations.

    What kind of systems do you guys use for time tracking, priority organization, and achieving goals/finding meaning? I've flittered around with various systems, but never settled on…

    Great post - and very accurate, if a bit black on white on the difference between low/high value content. Why do you think it is that 'low' value content is so prevalent - and we f…

    Great interface - I look forward to trying it out for various projects, and hope the beta goes well!

    This strategy seems very relevant and pertinent to me, especially the parts about delegating time, asking for actionable help / emails instead of meetings, and hiring good people. …

    The backlog is from ~2% down 'preorders', so isn't exactly accurate. Though there is undoubtedly >15bn worth of demand for the M3, especially in light of tax incentives winding dow…

    Absurdly optimistic. Gross margin is ~20% excluding ZEV on their very high end models, the average price per car will be closer to 60k in 2020, probably around 55k (35k base will p…

    It's interesting that this college obsession for sports isn't just at the big state / football schools, but has trickled down to top tier universities and liberal arts schools. Man…
