flipmonk··on Show HN: Productivity apps are killing productivity (research with Cornell Uni)
> Software impairs knowledge sharing: 49% of people report concerns that important information will get lost

flipmonk··on Indian immigrants are tech's new titans
Nope. China, Brazil, Russia are all humongous % populations - disproportionate representation.

flipmonk··on “It’s done, there is no way back. We tried, we failed”
Wow. "Ultimately Crash fit into the PS1's memory with 4 bytes to spare. Yes, 4 bytes out of 2097152. Good times." - the things we take for granted today!
flipmonk··on G is for Google
Britain has a 100% english speaking population and ridiculously high education and cultural standards. How many British CEO's run powerful companies?

The fact that middle/lower class Indian-born and educated individuals are now running corporations with the size and impact of Google, Adobe, Nokia, Deutche bank, Pepsi, Microsoft and the likes is just down right stunning. They've broken through cultural, racial, societal, stereotypical, psychological and economical barriers at an extreme level to do so. This needs to be academically investigated.

flipmonk··on G is for Google
Nope, still pretty surprising. China, Brazil, Russia are all humongous populations - dramatically fewer reps than India.
flipmonk··on Ronda Rousey fights like a statistical outlier
This assumes your 50-100% estimate is correct. A figure which is the result of your bias that people are challenging.

flipmonk··on Lyft forgoes global expansion in favor of U.S. market domination
Because you're not buying features or consuming what you're buying through the app.

Is Amazon supposed to give 30% of all purchases made through the Amazon app? ofcourse not. If Amazon made additional search features an optional upgrade for the app, I'd imagine Apple would want a piece of that.

Nope, still says "Indian nuclear scientist Abdul Kalam has died"

flipmonk··on EPIC – Arab Spring Break
At some point the focus shifts and diverts away from the story to the presentation.

While impressive, I'm a little uneasy.

flipmonk··on Ask HN: If we are in a VC bubble, how would the bust play out?
Over-valued companies will have to take down rounds - employees who joined late will get their options roasted. A large number of small and new VC funds will get wiped out. This time, the difference is, its the professional players that get hit (VC's, institutional investors, hedge funds etc).

Last time, tourist investors (newbies and the lay man) invested in stocks that crashed. Private huge rounds are protecting the tourist investors by virtue of lack of access.
