I don't disagree with you... however in this case might the only path to to a sustainable advantage to be at scale before anyone else? I don't really understand the economics at all for their business... hopefully all these electric bike and …

Crazy how much funding these new companies are getting. An interesting perspective from Mark Suster, someone with a vested interest "Forget the valuation — I think it’s quite possible that Bird could be the fastest growing company to reach a …

man riding a bike in Vegas mid July is the last thing i'd want to do. I'll stay by the encore pool :)

How might history have been different if Barnes and Nobles bought Amazon and not Fatbrain? I'd love to hear more about the time you started an online bookstore within 18 months of when amazon did. There's probably a lot of interesting nuances of …

wowza.

Hawk Hill, San Francisco 💖 The thing I miss most since leaving for NYC.

I think "stole" is the wrong word choice by Business Insider and/or the lawyers ... I however 100% believe that these customers had a problem and Coinbase completely disregarded the complaints, or more likely never even looked at them. The …

How'd you do it??

Thanks for your thoughts I concur. "I think IGTV will just become another commodity, like Facebook video."I think we'll see creators use this aggressively but with the sole purpose of growing the audience to maybe sell some sponsored posts or merch …

I agree. and now Tesla and Elon. The supposed hacker we heard about earlier this week now says he's a whistle blower. I don't know what to believe.

You're very right. Actually my parents always ate decently well, they thought but it wasn't until about ten years ago my Dad changed his own life instead of just helping others. He probably gained 30-40 pounds from the time I was born to when he …

yea it’s too bad. I’m rooting for coinbase but unfortunately it’s not surprising. I believe that these claims are probably true.

Apparently coinbase is being sued... "Coinbase users allege that the company has stolen funds and not responded to their complaints, according to complaints filed with the SEC." BusinessInsider...

*EDIT "Instagram is planning to offer direct monetization, potentially including advertising revenue shares, but hasn’t finalized how that will work." That changes the question. Will it monetize as well or better then YouTube does for creators?

Without knowing much my initial reaction to the Instagram announcement about their new IGTV is it's going to be great way to get us to spend more time on the app but it won't replace YouTube. If anything it will just be another tool creators use to …

I was raised by two doctors, i'm grateful for my body's good health. They constantly remind us how lucky we are to be healthy.

What time do you typically work out?

I'm with you here. I've basically decided to just wait until the season is over and then i'll do a couple marathon sessions so I can stay in the moment. There's a lot to unpack each episode and sometimes I forget...

I thought this was a good post on the topic and jives with comments here... Seven Strategic Rationales for the Microsoft/Github Acquisition

Super interesting, thanks for the additional context. What's your perception of azure vs AWS?

awesome, initial thoughts on the process from signup to funding to purchase for each?

Welcome. I'm a photography noob... how much editing did it take to bring out the green and other colors given the flat light?

Awesome accomplishment for the team and their investors. What is it about the GitHub business that makes it worth $7.5B to Microsoft? Also, any thoughts on Microsoft immediately putting in a CEO from their internal team vs. keeping the current …

awesome, keep us posted! I'd say check out coinbase UI just to see as well i'm sure they're a better option then most other places.

@chris do you envision the option for there to be a designated moderator / host? Not necessarily for all panels but if Walt Mossberg is doing a panel should he be called out as the moderator and his questions @ each person highlighted? It'll be …
