Yup. For those interested we have a similar approach where the fibre to the home is owned by a regulated provider that is required to offer its service to all retail service providers (RSPs) at the same price. Competition is strong.
The rise in sales of GLP-1 products also coincides with the decline in self-help books. Those products are highly effective at delivering some of the hardest self-help outcomes, so why buy a book when you can inject?
Perhaps think of the stock as a value stock, not a growth/momentum stock.
The thesis is that they should survive and thrive as an investment asset through the AI bust, but performance during the AI bubble is poor. If you are a longer term investor then B2B SaaS valuations appear cheap right now, but you need to be able to weather the storm of missing out on the AI infused bubble.
As evidence the BVP Nasdaq Emerging Cloud Index is at all-time lows for EV/revenue multiples. While some of the companies will see growth rates impacted by AI, that only explains a little bit of the drop in multiples versus the past.
And to add - tea is graded at source, and buyers purchase based on grade. So a low quality tea bag will have tea that is objectively worse than a high quality one, while the best tea is never near a bag.
Yeas ago I motorcycled a lot, all over the world. I escalated to an air horn and hi-viz. But I pretty quickly realized that these made no tangible difference to the behavior of larger vehicle drivers. So I ended up for later vehicles with a stock horn and hi-viz only for heavy rain.
These days our family cycles a lot for commuting. It’s really easy to observe that people in vehicles treat us far better if we look like humans, wearing normal street clothes, rather than wearing high-viz or, far worse, cycling gear.
The bike bell is for polite notice, not alarming. The best alarm system you have is your voice, which is variable volume and tone. For ultimate effect slap the panels of cars, as it is very loud inside the vehicle.
I like it. In particular the descriptions of how he reacted when confronted. The public key anecdote is a red herring - there is far more convincing evidence in the article.
An alternative perspective is that if someone sends me a Google sheet link then I know almost immediately that is probably not a “serious” document.
Similarly with Google Docs, as “serious” documents with proper tracking of changes and so on are in Word.
Of course the uses of serious spreadsheets are often in finance and serious documents are in law.
I found mistakes in the spreadsheet backing up 2 published articles (corporate governance). The (tenured Ivy) professor responded by paying me (after I’d graduated) to write a comprehensive working paper that relied on a fixed spreadsheet and rebutted the articles.
Talk to a VC as well. Or more than one, and ideally ones that are in the medical device space and have done similar deals with others from your university. If they are interested then they can apply pressure on the university too, to get to a solution that works for everyone.
The New Zealand Active Investor Plus resident program requires $5m NZD, which is under $3m USD, but that would take everything. There is another program mooted where you buy a business for less than that.
NZ’s Active Investor Plus program is more like EB-5 than this. AIP requires that migrants invest their funds, not donate them.
The Growth category requires fewer residency days and a NZ$5m (~US$3m) investment in “growth” companies or funds, including VC funds and companies that VC funds invest with.
The Balanced category requires double the investment and has a wider range of asset classes, but also a longer duration and higher number of days of residency required.
If you copy the generated url and put it into the entry field (and repeat) then you end up at a bitcoin site. As Bubblerings has pointed out that has malware.
I clicked and there is absolutely is content that is not acceptable, to me, visible on the front page.
Everyone has a different opinions of what’s acceptable, which is why we have ratings systems so society can draw a line.
If a platform doesn’t curate then governments or the legal system, or lobbyists targeting payment providers will step in.
