RT @EdBorgato: Literally the singular most important thing in doing deals. It's the first filter. There's nothing else to even think about if this hurdle isn't cleared.

Good Munger story in the thread ↓ https://t.co/g3uQrzcH8c
Buffett in '95: "We have the attitude that you can’t make a good deal with a bad person.

We just forget about it. We don’t try and protect ourselves by contracts, due diligence. We forget about it. We can do fine over time, dealing with people that we like, admire, and trust." https://t.co/ugE4Kqpp1V

The WHO may have dramatically underestimated the vitamin C intake required to prevent and treat collagen-related pathologies such as impaired wound healing.

The lack of statistical analyses of a landmark trial in 1944 may have led to a misleading conclusion.

Check out the latest issue of The Compounding Capital Review.

I lay out a deep dive of $SLP, a small cap software business operating in a duopoly mkt structure.

80% GMs, 25% incremental ROIC, 1% TAM penetration.

Years of future profitable growth ahead.

Few know it, but the fastest standard for sending data is RFC 1149, the standard for transmitting IP data with birds, especially pigeons.

It has been implemented (at 0.08 bps). But pigeons carrying memory cards can hit 28 gigs/second! Speed comparisons: https://t.co/ORlpm5hH82 https://t.co/g61MFQN991

Both cool anthropology & an illustration of why it took the scientific method and blinded trials to advance medicine: Healers in the vast majority of hunter-gatherer societies use the same magic trick - pretending to pull some object out of a sick person - in order to “heal” them https://t.co/H04B74NaIb
New open access paper - 'A Deceptive Curing Practice in Hunter-Gatherer Societies', exploring what I suspect is one of the oldest and most widespread healing practices/'magic tricks' in the world https://t.co/RK3uCkAAPN https://t.co/kybqNoUX8j - Will

Now that a significant number of YC startups are old enough to have grown big (e.g. 15 are now public) I'm able to see a whole new set of patterns. Having known them from very early on, when the company was just the founders, I can see patterns in how companies evolve.
