This is really interesting, and I always like rethinking of equity distribution--since it's so lopsided currently.

Some questions off the top of my head

- Since employees leaving don't receive from the kicker pool. Doesn't this incentivize people who are unhappy and want to leave to stay? There are some benefits to this, but seem like a ton of costs too (and part of what Pinterest's change was addressing)

- How is the kicker pool redistributed? Equally or along the lines of people's current distributions of equity?

- Curious if you have opinion on where the threshold should be set? And if it eventually makes sense to do tiers of thresholds? Or if you think the simplicity makes it make sense not to.

But think this sounds like a great thing, and would love to hear updates on it as it develops.

I'm fine with ads. But I see much more promise for ads before getting in car, then after. While waiting for Uber/Lyft I check my phone non-stop. The second I'm in the car the last app I'm opening is Uber/Lyft.

To be fair, the submitter is looking for anecdotes from people who have regretted it--so makes sense less people who don't regret it would respond here.

The original research supporting "carbs are good, fats are bad" made such trivial statistical errors it's kind of crazy.

Seems like you could just have it not work until a card has been on system for certain amount of time. That way people couldn't just upload card they stole? Would also make easy to detect those who uploaded stolen cards

Agreed, government run funds tend to not work out so well. And as direct government investment goes--this isn't that huge.

Think this is pretty absurd move by the hotels as well.

fwiw though, I believe a bunch of the higher end hotels can't implement free wifi, because they set up Wifi a while back and got locked in to contracts with the companies that set it up for them--which haven't expired yet.

Not disagreeing with any of your points, but there were probably very few LPs who were in one KPCB fund but not the other.

This reminds me of this research:) http://homepages.cae.wisc.edu/~jamieson/me/BeerMapper.html
