The only original IRR which was semi-published was the first fund (300 mil). If I recall it was a 200 ish % because of Nicira, Skype, Instagram, and FusionIO.

You can get somewhat of an idea of the IPOs and acquisitions here: https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/andreessen-horowitz/...

I would expect the IRR is quite good as the follow up funds tend to be oversubscribed and are full of original LPs.

As to the expenses...the marketing is quite inexpensive and has more than paid for itself. No idea on the costs around the services to the portfolio companies.

Full disclosure: I've worked for quite a few of their portfolio companies.
Considering the number of federal cases that plead out (I've read 98%), the DOJ's conviction rate of 90% seems very high. The incentives are heavily in favor of taking a plea unless you're pretty sure you will be found not guilty.

Pretty sure that was the entire point of the post.
I had a 6th gen Civic (DX Hatchback) for 7 years between 2005 and 2011. Most of what it needed, I did myself, cheaply:

- cracked exhaust manifold, replaced with boneyard unit, $80. Before that I went to the dealer, and they quoted me over $300 for a new one. Get this: they were so nice when I said I will probably get a used one, they gave me the new nuts for the joint between the manifold and the A pipe I would need. "Hey, you will likely need these; they are special heat-resistant nuts that don't expand."

- bushing gone on rear suspension arm causing clunks and squeaks: boneyard good part, $10. Couldn't remove a bolt in the suspension without an air ratchet: I broke two cheap socket wrench bits trying! I paid an air-conditioning garage to help me out, $40.

- broken manual window crank on driver's side door. $10 for used one.

- The ignition switch started cutting out. I Googled up that this was a secret warranty (big safety issue), and got free fix at the dealership.

- I paid a few hundred for an all-wheel brake job. At one point, the master relay went, so I paid a few hundred to get that taken care of. Car was completely dead; had to be towed.

- Fixed water leaking into the trunk. This ingress occurs through the tail light apertures! The fix was a $7 tub of silicone caulk on both sides of the tail light gaskets, with plenty left over to do a bathtub or three. The trunk was dry after that.

- Moisture destroyed the particle board trunk floor that covers the spare tire. Made a sturdy new one out of 6mm thick plastic: $30 bucks for that, plus labor.

- Cracked radiator: good used one for under 100 bucks.

- All fluid and other changes: engine oil, manual transmission, air filter, oil filter, etc, myself.

- Paid a few hundred for a timing belt and water pump change.

- O2 sensor changes, self, < $100 a pop for two of them.

- Spark plugs: don't remember; inexpensive.

No problem, glad my anecdotes are interesting/helpful!

To be fair, the internship and his mentorship were both invaluable to me, I was very lucky to be hired, I don't want to make it sound like a sob story. Firing over sexual orientation isn't really tracked so there's no hard numbers, but IME it is incredibly rare--never happened to me or anyone that i personally know, to the best of my knowledge. My concern could have been (probably was? your anecdote brings N up to 2, anyway) completely irrational, like the above poster was wondering.

Hah. Reminds of the story about the time Eisenhower reportedly tried to root out lesbian members of the armed forces: https://books.google.com/books?id=HO7IKU79zgAC&lpg=PA47&ots=...
That list is so touchy feely. It makes me feel like one of those "What are our company values?" meetings where people spend hours deliberating about things that are just a random list of positive adjectives taken from a dictionary.

How about a list of features instead?

Here are some things I'd like to see:

- prevent videos from auto playing / making sound

- prevent sites from forcing me to turn off AdBlock

- sleep mode for tabs (sometimes I leave tabs open that I mean to read later) but they still take up a lot of resources even if I don't open that tab for weeks.

- readable mode (I don't want to see animations right next to the article I'm trying to read). It's extremely distracting. Maybe a pause mode (where the entire page is

frozen and nothing can change?)

- stop changing where the text is on the page as I read it (as pages load, as ads show up / disappear).

- Scrolling should be linear. I shouldn't scroll down and see the text move in the opposite direction because some header disappears from the top of the page, this shifting the text up higher).

- Raise the simultaneous download limit and/or allow a large number of them to be queued without me having to wait until a slot frees up to make sure that file is going to be downloaded.

- Make it easier to kill distracting elements on a page with a single click.

- Anything that allows me to be able to develop for a single platform (the web) instead of having to deal with native app development, app store restrictions, and another company taking a huge chunk out of sales.
Two things about the Prius are the motors are brushless dc motors and the transmission is (far as I know) a fixed gear planetary drive. Both are very reliable well understood technologies.

Prius also gets a double bonus in that Toyota is oriented around selling low cost of ownership cars; higher upfront cost offset by lower maintenance costs and higher resale value. And because the Prius was their first hybrid vehicle they put extra effort to nail down the design.

One thing about Holland: It's flat. Not everywhere is like that. That can make bicycles significantly less attractive to someone in his 50s...

There is a lot of middle ground between keeping something secret until there's something take-it-or-leave-it vs. publishing every "what if we do X, will you then let us do Y" back and forth. If more intermediate work products are unfit for public eyes, perhaps they shouldn't be going there in the first place.
You're right, my comments definitely skimmed the topic. I was more addressing the parent's comment that we should look at the over-arching issue here, and not just this specific case.
Who is they, why are they in your house, and why are they looking for drugs specifically? Nothing about the course of action I described would put you on the state's radar. Sure, if you start sourcing black market pharmaceuticals, then you have to take extra steps to be cautious, but the grey market is generally safe.

The data is good. I have been in the auto repair industry (in various forms)for a long time and can attest that the results are correct.
Maybe that's more a product of the player base as a whole becoming better at playing. The longer a game is out the bigger the gap will be between new players and experienced players.

You can see a similar trend in lots of online games like Rocket League or TF2.
Indian bureaucracy and politicians are nothing but first class suckers. They loot away anything and everything.
I do. I just enabled CloudFlare's SSL, added a redirect rule from unsecured http to SSL in CF (there is a template I think) and adjusted the base URL in the YAML file of the repo accordingly. I don't believe I did anything else.
The deploy process is much easier for me to manage on GitHub Pages, because I can just do "rake publish" and middleman-gh-pages deploys the site. Neither I nor my collaborators have to deal with the details of deploying. Surge makes you remember to call the surge command with the proper arguments and have collaborators also have surge accounts set up properly.

Maybe there's a way to have a GitHub webhook automatically trigger a deploy to Surge? That would probably solve this issue for me. Though GitHub Pages is still easier.
Fair enough, though it has required the film makers to push back a considerable amount to cause the CBFC to backdown slightly and get reasonable action from the Bombay high court.

The fact that politicians can even take this step for censorship demonstrates a weakness in the freedom of speech that citizens of India have.
You get that 'for free' with apt-based systems, as packages are GPG-signed by default, and will throw up an error if the signature is missing or is not in your trust store.
You know what, thank you, you are right, every time I am depressed about the crap I see online, then I see something really great. you take the good with the bad, just like life :)
The complaint by Fanify is ridiculous. It's very clear the app "violated Apple’s requirement that all in-app payments be routed through iTunes" so you can't pay through paypal.

Sounds like poor planning by Fanify to submit the app only 10 days before their planned launch, when they clearly didn't bother following Apple's T&Cs.
The article is a little unclear on whether they're outright firing anyone over this, but if they are, it's only the worst offenders. (And in the context of MOBA games, "worst offenders" probably means a continuous torrent of abuse and obscenities, not just grumpiness.) The rest (and possibly all of them) are being called to resolution meetings and shown their chatlogs--most of them have been mortified and promised to improve.
The fact that you have to build an iOS app on a Mac, that you can't even set up a CI build on commodity hardware, or in the cloud, is pretty fundamentally developer-hostile. I'll start to feel wooed when they take steps toward fixing that.
Or it could be an indication that Google is considering a bigger picture than the EFF is. TPP is a comprehensive agreement, covering a wide range of topics and activities. Here are the titles of the major components:

Competition & Business Facilitation
Competition Policy
Cooperating & Capacity Building
Cross Border Trade in Services
Customs Administration & Trade Facilitation
Development
Dispute Settlement
Electronic Commerce
Environment
Financial Services
Government Procurement
Intellectual Property
Investment
Labour
National Treatment & Market Access for Goods
Regulatory Coherence
Rules of Origin and Origin Procedures
Sanitary & Phytosanitary Measures
Small & Medium-sized Businesses
State-Owned Enterprises
Technical Barriers to Trade
Telecommunications
Temporary Entry for Business Persons
Textiles & Apparel
Trade Remedies
Transparency & Anti-Corruption

The EFF's opposition seems to be almost all based on just one of those components (Intellectual Property). It is quite possible that others, including Google, could see enough positives in the other components to outweigh the negatives the EFF sees in the IP component even if they agree with the EFF that those IP provisions are serious negatives.

This is especially true when you consider that much of the EFF's criticism of the IP section is over provisions that are already in effect in the US, and to a lesser extent in Europe. For instance, the US and Europe already have the 70 year copyright term, and the US and Europe already have anti-circumvention measures (DMCA in the US, the Copyright Directive [1] in the EU). Basically, many of the things the EFF objects to ALREADY APPLY to Google in most of Google's markets.

So the big wins claimed were all early in the first round: Instagram, Twitter, Skype, etc.

They made about $100M off Skype, and probably comparable or less from the others, but if they proceeded to raise $3B and invested it in companies like Jawbone, that completely kills their IRR. That's what I was getting at when I posed the question in the original thread. A few small wins do not undo many large losses.

It will take at least a full cycle to see. In another 5-10 years we can compare to the firms you mentioned. Obviously in the meantime a16z don't mind being compared to Sequoia et. al.

a16z charges 2 and 25. 2% of AUM each year, 25% of the profits. (2&20 is standard in hedge funds.)
he was extremely stressed

And this is what we call willful ignorance, in an effort to avoid further pain.

Those words sound hollow, and presumptive. This is the sort of closure a person will errect around circumstances that can only be made worse by thinking about or acting in favor of a deeper investigation.

If it feels like social calculus at work, it probably is.
Not to mention rural Canada. Drive 45 minutes out of Vancouver, BC and you're pretty much completely screwed when it comes to dining.
The EU did this, remember, by agreeing to a "safe harbor" agreement with the US, where companies could certify that they would voluntarily treat personal data from the EU according to EU data protection rules. But then it transpires that we can not actually trust this, because US companies do not have the ability to control this.

That said, as as long as TPP only requires that there is no discrimination, that should not affect the EU rules much other than perhaps requiring the EU to put more resources into determine which countries have laws and governments that makes it possible for local companies in those countries to abide by the EU regulations.

For sure freedom of speech is limited in India, but again the CBFC does not officially defer to political will. That's only on paper of course, as the CBFC head is a political appointee. I wouldn't be surprised if he's asked to step down after this row.
Canada is easily the worst. They're known for it.

That's not true. If you went into an Apple Store, you were told it was for possible effects with signal strength.

This was easily demonstrable, and lead to Jobs' infamous "You're holding it wrong" deflection.

To say that nothing was wrong and Apple was just managing PR from those pesky other companies badmouthing it is... the RDF in effect.
If you're a programmer of any kind, sooner or later, you need to understand the relational data model and normalization. They're useful to you in every field of programming; they're one of those magic technologies that can frequently turn 200 lines of code into 10 lines, converting a day-long task into something so simple you can do it off-the-cuff. SQL is by far the most accessible way to use the relational data model, whatever the merits of Tutorial D and Prolog, and once you start normalizing your data, you need joins.

If we were talking about cuckoo hashing, 386 assembly, or FIR filter design, I would agree that it's "one specific technology" that someone could easily pass over with little loss in many programming fields. But not knowing how to do a join is more like not knowing how to open a file or use floating-point math: it's a crippling deficiency in your skills as a programmer, one that will slow you down in a wide variety of tasks.
Speaking of finance and education... One things that makes no sense to me.

Take 2 different scenarios:

1) Youth gets paid $4/hr (well below the minimum wage) to work in their chosen field as an apprenticeship. Graduates with a certification in their field with a little bit of money saved up, no debt, and real work experience.

2) Youth gets into massive student loan debt, gets a degree but has no real job experience or employment prospects. Has to work the next decade to pay off their student loans.

The one that makes the most sense and that would result in people being better off is illegal.
As someone who has contributed code to AROS (AmigaOS compatible portable OS), I can confirm we're crazy. For my part I'm not hardcore enough to have any Amigas any more, though I want to (I have a Minimig, though - an FPGA re-implementation).
If the user can't do that, then the user is not going to have the chops to configure Postfix anyway.

Seriously, Debian is the upstream distro does this, and it's the other linux grandparent with RHEL. It's been around for decades, used in production the same way RHEL and BSD are, and we haven't had debian-based boxes compromised left, right, and centre with these 'insecure' defaults. The threat is imaginary, and not born out in real world numbers.
The DEA + RIAA = DEARIAA

It is on my systems. The OOOOP's web - that's the one that I experience every single day.
Whilst the issue may not be the fault of the web designers, there's not really any need to call Safari inferior. It's probably a bug, all browsers have them.

My main issue, FWIW, is not that Apple don't fix bugs - it's the long timeframes they take between releases!
There's no excuse to bring your car to the dealership unless you're a woman or have the delicate hands of the typical cross fitter.
But if you sell plans to make chips that less people want, it'd lower the demand for those plans. Might not be direct, but I'm sure Arm cares and uses their market dominance to boost prices.

Ha, they've actually put in a rule to link to an image rather than the listing to stop this from happening.
Windows has a firewall by default. The outgoing rule is open the incoming is closed/established. That is the same default firewall config for most Linux distros. This is also probably the default for OSX -- does your mom have trouble with her current system? Because it probably has a firewall configured.

Ubuntu is one of the very few modern operating systems (distributions) that contains this easy to fix security flaw.

Also, you probably wouldn't know if a firewall protected you unless you have a habit of poring over network logs.

Your wifi router definitely has this default configuration which certainly does protect you on a regular basis.
It is PCMag that is doing that, SF said this:

While we certainly appreciate the commendation, we don’t totally agree with Dvorak’s view on the decline of open source software. Though the reputation of freeware has been marred by dubious models in the past, we’re confident that free and open source software will continue on and even expand its reach in the future.
I would also highly recommend the movie Meru, which is briefly mentioned in this article. It's a great documentary that shows the crazy shit he (more than willingly) goes through to get some of his shots.
You can actually turn a pointer into an usize without using an unsafe block. For example, here's how you'd do it with a reference:

let the_bits = pointer as *const _ as usize;
Browsers doing url prefetching for top results would also leak some information?
> Negotiating treaties in private is normal, to prevent parties from manipulating public opinion to gain a stronger negotiating position and to prevent kneejerk outcries from the anti-trade crowd for every random provision any party proposes regardless of its likelihood to actually be in the final text. It is not about evil corporatists secretly conspiring to undermine democracy.

Isn’t this the definition of doublethink?

It will prevent the public from influencing the treaty while it is being made (prevent outcries for random provision), but it will not undermine the ability of the public to influence treaties(It is not about evil corporatists secretly conspiring to undermine democracy)
It uses private APIs which probably violates Facebook's ToS.
When I was a kid, my friends would play a game where we go around in the circle and add one word to the running sentence. Most of the sentences sounded exactly like this script.

Is there a way of doing a long running log of all network, page load speeds, etc. in Chrome and store it in a reasonably efficient format? Like a perfmon/tracer for the browser.

I ask this because I've been trying to track down an issue - probably caused by an ad on a news website - where Chrone pretty much freezes up on all processes. Whilst I can (and have) worked around it by installing uBlock Origin in browsers I'd really like to know what is causing the problem. I can't produce it locally so I'd like to get a log of all things that occur on Chrome over the course of a day.
May be not that silly then.
Anyone know how this is supposed to work. The part about "compressing and cooling the air" doesn't make any sense. The air wouldn't be compressed and it it was it would get warmer, until it wasn't compressed any more.

My guess is that it allows a relatively high level of ventilation but blocks the sun that would otherwise come in through the open window. So more or less the same effect as an awning.

I don't disagree with your general point that it's ridiculous how locked down the tooling is, but I think you can build an iOS app on a CI in the cloud, can't you? TravisCI and CircleCI at least offer options for this, I believe.
Whether they enjoy it or not, I don't think many people have had an actual real choice about whether or not to live in suburbia.

For one thing in most North American cities it is the default and inescapable urban planning norm. There's no alternative. If someone cloned a dense and walkable European town nearby I'd choose to live there, but most towns around me are the same generic strip mall suburbs.

There are a handful of North American cities with vibrant residential cores or inner neighbourhoods that one could choose to live in, but ultimately for most it's not sustainable. In cities such as SF and Vancouver, attainable housing is in the multi-unit condo form which is not often suitable for growing families. What ground oriented housing exists is for multi-millionaires. Inevitably if one chooses to have a family the suburb is a forced choice.
