    New blog post from our own . Spoiler alert: a lot of React.js, PostgreSQL, and AWS. But no clear winner for the back-end between Python, Node, and Ruby!

    Timber!! Incredibly excited about our latest spin-out from . Yesler is a B2B marketplace connecting mills with lumberyards. I have never been so knowledgeable in the lumber aisle. Matt Meyers - I have you to thank!

    Facebook is in the business of owning the world's digital attention, and boy have they been successful in buying it. Since acquiring WhatsApp 6 years ago, they now own 4 of only 7 social networks with a billion users.

    It was pretty fun trying to make the case that it was a good idea to blow $22b to make $0 in six years.

    Other things that made the economics more favorable this time around: 1. I got a sweet '08 CRV AWD - not much depreciation 🏔🚗 2. I live in an area with street parking 3. I signed up for , so premiums are by-the-mile, ideal for how much I drive (still not much)

    4) Investors notoriously subsidized the ride sharing companies for years to keep consumers interested. Uber and Lyft are now public, have less access to capital, and have no option but to get their unit economics in order to get to profitability.

    2&3) These services were subsidized by their parent companies for a decade and couldn't make the economics work. You could say, "double the price!" I assume that price elasticity was high, and they wouldn't create the demand necessary for the fleet's fixed cost at higher $$.

    Let's dissect each of these: 1) There is a natural "tax" to renting access to an asset vs. owning it. In this case, that tax was paid both in an increase in the marginal cost of a trip, but also an "unhappiness tax" with the added friction of getting to the rented car.

    Update: after four and a half years, I bought a car. Factors: - Activation energy required to go on hikes+trips is high w/ rented cars; I did less - ReachNow shut down - Car2Go is leaving the US - Uber/Lyft *seem* to have gotten more expensive (and will continue)

    Really excited to be sharing more like this. Great work by . Google Keyword Planner is a *massively* underused (and free!) tool for determining the size of existing demand for your startup idea.

    This was $132.80 in the trailing 4 quarters for users in the US. Guess they figured it out in the last 8 years (at least domestically!)

    ., on NASA returning astronauts to space on US rockets: "We're doing it differently than we've ever done it before. NASA is one customer. We're going to be one customer of many customers, and we want Elon to have many customers. But we need dissimilar redundancy."

    The press conference is fun to watch. Obviously lots of smiles because all went well, but you can just feel the profound mutual respect between and all of the NASA folks.

    Truly incredible that we are only a few months away from carrying humans to space. Of course, it is a technological marvel, but the pace and pragmatic approach of the collaboration with may be even more impressive.
