Almost the same results.

I think the title is a bit misleading. Kleiner Perkins is asking Ellen to pay for its legal fees or simply " if she forgoes any appeal and lets the case die, the firm will forgive and forget, or at least move on."

How you discovered the theme? Tried searching for "Phoenix" on the page you linked but could not find.

They want to position themselves as data 'freaks'. They have an interesting post when they released a book.

I think Amazon is quite the opposite, no? I'm really curious...

Groupon receives the money then pays the owners in 30 days. Amazon does not have to pay its suppliers before and sell and receives money after?

That would be PG point on his RFS https://www.ycombinator.com/rfs

The majority of VC companies have investiment thesis. In those thesis they put the kind of market and companies they would like to invest and why. It helps to guide the new associates and partner on where and what to look.

Thanks for the book. Just bought the kindle version!

I'm reading his new book (brazilian edition): Zero Zero Zero. A tale about the cocaine empire and history. It is as good as Gomorrah. Everyone should understand how deeply ingrained the organized crime is on our society. They are the real rulers of the world. It'll take so much time and guts to put them down.

This! I think Spotify/Rdio/Deezer/etc should make a deal to license music on Soundcloud. The best indie music, mashups and mixes are on SoundCloud.

That is an outstanding conversion rate. I wonder how it compares to its competitors.

I'm a huge Murakami fan. Did not had the chance to read it. I'll now.

That is the piece: http://www.npr.org/blogs/money/2014/08/28/343430393/a-mall-w...

Hey Speeder, where do you live in brazil? I could probably help you out. I work in a VC firm and know several it companies in brazil.

Yes, pardon my english. I mean revenue.

A company to raise a million US dollars (2,2 Million Reais) here in Brazil has to be profitable and have at least 1 Million U$ in profit!

The VC Firms abroad should come to Brazil, we have several good companies who can't raise half a million dollars. Way better than yo's.

IPO

Because english (and any new language) is hard as fu*k. I'm a also a brazilian, and I think you can agree with me that not eveyone (actualy only 3%) of the brazilians have the condition to learn english. For condition I mean education and financial resources. I know that many of us learned english as we played chrono trigger or Metal Gear Solid, but we had a condition that many of our fellow brazilians did not have.

could you expand on the history? As a fellow brazilian I'm curious.

Do you mean: 1000 kcalories of fries and soda == 1000 kcalories of vegetables, fruits and grains?

That is one of the worst 'apologies' from I startup I've ever read.

There is none " We fucked up, sorry, we're fixing it". They speak of the leak as simple 'hack' like someone who was capable of finding all your friends using facebook and random luck.

I hope they fix this right, and be more apologetic the next time.

thanks! I've been delaying the read of Brothers Karamazov. I'll look for the Steinbeck's.

Tell me two books that'll teach me so much. Please.

Count me in...

If you can find it in day time, it's a dog... Otherwise it's a cat.

Guys, do you have recommendations on books in the same topic? (surveillance, hackers, NSA, etc) YA or not?

I've read Little Brother, liked a lot, even thought I'm not in the target audience. So I would like some 'grown up' recommendations.

The mentors have no name, and they have a bunch o anons, strange

I'm a recent hire in a big company ( for brazilian standards, 600+ people). And my boss told me the the HR recommended the other candidate. But my boss already knew me, and actually, he called me direct to the recruitment process. So, our company value the opinion of the manager, it knows that the best managers know which people are best for their spots.

That's a overall very good list. My only problem with it, it's that, apart from ocasional ones, only has books that were published since 2011. Where are the classics? I don't think entrepreunership or leadership is something new and you can just learn from the new books.

That's the purpose of a corporation. That's why we have something called a judicial person. To separate this kind of thing.

Professor Balaji. Your course is one of the best I've ever took. Thank you so much!
