Re: Florida’s Covid-19 Deaths Might Rival New York's

How do you "lockdown nursing homes"? Are you suggesting that staff sleep there for several months? Are they supposed to wait multiple hours for immediate onsite tests, which aren't a thing, before they do their shifts at work?

How far do you have to tumble down the alt-right interwebs before you come out on the opposite side of a hospital worker that bikes to work during a pandemic?

Can you tell me the disease you have in your brain? I would like to donate in hopes that someday they may find a cure.

I would add "connect to people in person more often--especially new people". Loneliness is an epidemic.

Matt Stinchcomb did some kind of co-op school with some friends of his who had kids the same age. I told him to look me up when he wants to turn this into a platform for other people to do it more easily.

Re: A Subscription Tracker

I have a portfolio company that is doing this for enterprise. The idea is that anyone at USV would be able to benefit from the USV group rate for the premium levels/subscriptions to Business Insider, Techcrunch, The Information, etc., with just a one click passthrough token but at the same time it could scan your records and let you know that no one ever benefits from that random subscription to Triathlons Monthly that your first analyst signed up to almost 15 years ago.

If you look in the small print, "Back Dave Morgan when he shows up at your office telling you about his new startup" must be somewhere in the thesis.

What suburban shoppers drive into Manhattan and park on the street to shop?? The suburbs don't have stores? Why wouldn't you just drive to the nearest train? It would be way faster.

I would suggest you find someone who wants the same things... and instead of asking for a teacher, offer yourself as a partner to help someone else with that same thing. Most big things are accomplished by dividing them up into small tasks that are doable, and sticking with them over a longer period of time. Get a coffee with someone once a week and talk through your goals and keep each other accountable.

Re: Court halts construction of island park largely funded by Barry Diller

Note, Judi does not speak for all of Brooklyn. The vast majority of the parkgoers in Brooklyn and the actual community at large like our park just fine and see the perfectly sensible logic of its economic plans and estimates--built around minimizing the chance that a bankrupt park would need to get bailed out by public tax dollars.

Totally agreed.

I think an e-mail explaining the situation is the best bet... and then we would go from there.

Perhaps, but it's such a low bar these days... and predictive of nothing.... Who isn't connected to a VC these days?

Exactly... and that's what you want to do... latch them on... then reel them in!

I've thought about it.. Doesn't Google ding you for it?

But your perspective on them is unique... or, so what? Everything in venture has been covered, but I still write, because that's what I want to talk about.

That's a great piece. Thanks! I'd never seen it.

So what's the right measurement? You know, one thing I didn't bring up was how I benchmarked... like... why was being an analyst at USV better than being a failed CEO? What criteria? How would you rate your current job to make it comparable?

There's nothing stopping anyone from being a big fish in a big pond... just takes time.

Re: Finding ROI In Higher Education

ceonyc — Mon, 22 Dec 2014 09:19:28 -0000

I don't believe a four year degree is worth it, but this math is wonky. You have a skewed initial pool. On one side, it's the pool of all high school seniors. On the other, what does the Flatiron School's initial pool look like? How many of them already have college educations, to start with? I'd bet 90%+ already have degrees... so the more apt comparison is some kind of technical grad school... ITP for example... not undergrad vs what is a continuing ed program.
