In my book, it's not a "business model" until it's consistently profitable.

There can be a bad “business model”

> When we first started building multiplayer functionality in Figma four years ago, we decided to develop our own solution. No other design tool offered this feature,

I could've sworn I've seen people on HN say there were tools that did real-time collaborative design before figma.

When you found the company you own the shares. You divy out options when you, the founder, hire or make deals. You could alternatively also give actual shares (usually VCs get a share %)
pat87 · 6 years ago
Founders need to purchase shares in the company they found.

The shares are extremely cheap as the company has no assets, but you still need to physically wire money to the company bank account.

The centralisation of Libra made it easy to kill. Bitcoin can be hampered but not outright killed, at least not over night. A death by a thousand cuts is the most likely solution but by no means guarantees Victory.
pat87 · 6 years ago
Bitcoin can be killed by means other than technological.

For example it can be outlawed. Sure, people would still be able to use it, but they would be breaking the law and that would deter many, possibly enough to kill it outright.

Everything you mention can be born out of individualism, not just by blind conformity and having any fixed social structure.
pat87 · 6 years ago
Everything he mentioned is the result of many people working together. No hospital or electricity network were built by one person.

Capitalism is a great way to have people work in collaboration while still being motivated by their own individual goals.

The app permitted a teacher to do this, and the existence of the app and its delivery of this outcome jibe with the existing headline.
pat87 · 6 years ago
“Apple penalizes fifth graders...” should be the headline by this logic. Apple permitted the app to do this.

WeWork has been an obvious fuckup to even casual observers for years, if people inside the company couldn't see this I really don't know what to say.

It’s hard to see things when your salary depends on you not seeing said things.

>the lines between vision, bullsh*t, and fraud are pretty narrow. I can’t wrap my head around what’s gone on here. Something is wrong. Something stinks.

I had a similar thought a few weeks back. If they're willing to cavalierly expose this craziness in the S1, what else is going on there that we don't know about.

pat87 · 6 years ago
It’s not that they’re willing but more like had to.

They need the extra cash from the IPO, and they have to disclose the craziness in the S-1 otherwise it’s plain fraud.
