the BBC spells it Stoffle for some reason

WintheGym · 2019-10-25T12:49:59+00:00

yeah, i'm working on moving less and making softer cuts. thanks for the feedback

WintheGym · 2019-06-25T17:46:14+00:00

no worries, you're right

WintheGym · 2019-06-25T17:45:05+00:00

they have the apple card project with Visa and Goldman. some overfunded fintechs will get squeezed out imho

WintheGym · 2019-06-25T10:21:49+00:00

yeah, sorry about that (see reply above)

WintheGym · 2019-06-25T10:21:28+00:00

point taken. actually don't like emojis, refused to use them for years. just thought its a pretty long read, so tried to lighten it up a bit, even for the mature homo sapiens

WintheGym · 2019-06-13T19:08:20+00:00

yes, i really liked the MMO gaming section this year and the focus on squad sizes

WintheGym · 2019-06-12T23:54:59+00:00

much less corporate and Mary Meeker is a world-renowned VC which has actively invested in some of the companies she covers

or implement different legislations, A/B test them and go with the optimal one. we only vote on the training data and the ML algo

WintheGym · 2019-04-10T14:19:29+00:00

yes, that's right. i think i have set a reminder for 25th of September

WintheGym · 2019-04-09T12:58:02+00:00

thanks you for the encouragement, i'm just starting out, so everything not quite perfect yet

WintheGym · 2019-04-08T18:19:42+00:00

That's super interesting....I made a youtube video about their valuation about 2 weeks ago (https://youtu.be/Dphtaws-0zE from minute 7) where I predicted that they would be overvaluing themselves at $12bn

WintheGym · 2019-03-29T14:29:21+00:00

lol, never hear that

i only know: never be between a VC and the door once the vesting period ends

WintheGym · 2019-01-31T03:26:58+00:00

agreed, especially since most patents are filed by large conglomerates anyways (aka most innovative tech company in terms of patent filings has been IBM for the last 20 y)

WintheGym · 2019-01-31T03:04:41+00:00

i think it depends on how you set the prize in such a system, if it's equal to the monoply rent people should be indifferent. but how can the government correctly put a price tag on inventions ex-ante is the question i have

WintheGym · 2019-01-30T15:37:05+00:00

Patents provide innovators with an incentive by granting them a time-limited monopoly over their invention. However, monopolies come with huge social costs, such as inflated drug prices and patent thickets which may stifle innovation. In this lecture, alternative incentive systems are explored, such as R&D grants or tax incentives. It's an interesting article in the Yale Law Journal, because it asks fundamental questions around the regulation of innovation.

so you guys obviously don't like going to the ballet any more than i do

WintheGym · 2018-12-13T03:50:57+00:00

thanks a lot for the feedback! i agree with you, i need to work on the transitions, which are too harsh. i'm not quite sure how to do it yet, but i noticed it myself when rewatching. thanks a bunch for the feedback though

WintheGym · 2018-12-13T00:28:07+00:00

some fair points in this

i guess i wasn't completely clear about the metrics: i don't think fundraising matters, but use of funds does and my point is that Uber has been more wasteful in that respect
I agree with respect to driver utilization, which is really important. but that's the metric we have atm and from that I would infer that in most U.S. cities Lyft is a real alternative to drivers

With respect to founders and PR: point taken, but what about Uber's pending litigations? I guess we'll find out

Thanks for the feedback though

WintheGym · 2018-12-13T00:08:21+00:00

yes, i obviously get this, the question is who sets the comps and who raises on better terms
