That’s cuz a lot of VCs are just dudes who got rich by accident. They were the 11th salesman hired at pre-IPO Oracle or Apple or whatever. Then they got some investment success by putting some dough into Google. The whole strategy is to just invest in a lot of stuff and hope that one of them goes big. It’s not really…

Also make sure you have preferred shares.

This is the danger when we as a nation falls behind the world in science. We let shit like this that doesn't seem to pass the common sense check by because technology has jumped leaps in bounds in the past 15 years. Good on you for being a good advocate.

Top tier VC firms actually turned Theranos down because they didn’t think they had the science. The second tier VC firms desperate to get into the game invested without as much research. I don’t feel sorry for them

Except she’s probably just a millionaire, missing that last comma. Sad!

This man is the definition of thin skinned. All he does is dish it out, he can’t take a tap from a butterfly without boo hooing like a two year old who needs a nap.

“Instead of being like, ‘Thank you very much, Mr. Trump,’ or ‘Trump did a good job,’ everyone’s saying, ‘Who got it? Who got it? Who got it?’ And you make me look very bad,” Trump complained, taking on reporters in the room. “I have never received such bad publicity for doing such a good job.”

Did he circle the dollar amount on the checks in gold Sharpie?

I know they do something similar in a few asian countries where they get rid of tattoos and facial blemishes, but I thought it was universally illegal to use altered photos for passports.

After his notpology about NV, I’d say the misinformed one is you. “Violence is never the answer but the Dems asked for it,” isn’t my idea of either a denunciation OR an apology.

I wouldn’t get too scared. I know this is anecdotal, but a lot of my extended family have voted Republican for decades and they can’t bring themselves to vote for him, and I have never seen that happen with them before. I highly doubt they are the only ones. Also, the electoral map just isn’t in their favor, so I…

Haven’t there been several in depth studies of that that found that Perot drew off voters from Clinton and Bush at a roughly equal level? I remember it was assumed at the time that Perot’s presence favored Clinton, but I don’t think that was ever backed up by the numbers.

In what way? I have nothing against him personally, but he cannot win at this point. He is not going to get super-delegates. He’s only been a Democrat since last year...it’s just not realistic.

I don’t think he’s actively trying (like Nader certainly was), I think he’s been drinking too much of his own kool aid and doesn’t have the right advisors to pull him back. But we’re fast approaching the point where it doesn’t fucking matter what his intentions are, he will be actively harming our chances in November.…

Considering that he has exactly zero percent odds of winning the nomination, does anyone else feel that Bernie is actively trying to fuck over the Democrats at this point?

I want Hill to file a civil suit and I want her to win. She won’t get any money out of him, but I want him to eat those fucking words.

She opened the door when she claimed the women were willing participants who threw themselves at Cosby. She’s also a business partner and manager, and she probably thought when this started that it would be (once again) swept under the rug. Don’t kid yourself, she’s in it up to her neck.

I was mostly being frustrated when I said it was Millennials. This is ageist and a stereotype, and of course there are plenty of unreasonable Bernie supporters who are not young and plenty of young people who are perfectly reasonable, etc. The "I Am Special Look At Me" song had its origins in trying to create personal…

It was especially alarming because financial regulation to break up big banks is his answer to EVERYTHING. The fact that he hadn’t done even the most basic of research to come up with a concrete plan for his ONLY ISSUE really reveals his shortcomings as a leader.

Yeah, that interview - I’m for Hillary, but I’ve always said I like Bernie and support his ideas. After that interview, as someone who works with bankers, I lost all faith in his ability to change or even fully understand our current financial system. Bankers are smart - unless you have some ironclad legislation…
