The tweet below got me thinking: what are examples of intangible assets that are valuable but hard to factor into valuations? A few to start:

- strong social media skills (@Austen, @wendys)
- proprietary data (Google)
- moonshots & high risk/reward experiments (Google)

Others?
To elaborate on a few of these:
#1 -- Lambda recently raised $. Let's say it was a $100m valuation. I bet VCs didn't say "based on metrics the valuation should've been $95m, but @Austen is great on Twitter, so that bumps it up to $100m." But the tweets have clear value/ROI.
#3 -- A few years ago, Google started doing tons of valuable moonshots: self-driving cars, Google Fiber, Google Loon, etc. One could argue each of these is "$500b+ market cap potential * several percent chance of success." My hypothesis is the stock market doesn't price this in.

Great post: "Reflecting on My Failure to Build a Billion-Dollar Company" by @shl.

My favorite passage below is about how hard it can be to estimate the impact of our work.

medium.com/@shl/reflectin…
When I was a SWE, I recall sleeping under my desk for a few wks to launch a "critical" release. It's surreal to think about how hard I pushed & how much I neglected to meet that deadline. I slept in my office for weeks, & it's not even a blip to the company or its metrics today.
Which is not to say 16-hour days can't have value, or that the things we do don't matter. But things that seem to really matter (or not matter) today often look very different after ten years. Remembering that can be useful when you're stuck in a stressful situation.

I'm going to stop tweeting politics for a while after this comment, but a tax on assets feels like a very dangerous precedent. It's a clawback on $$ you already earned. If I ever had >$50m (I won't), I'd immediately start looking for new countries to live in. Canada seems nice.
To put this into perspective: if you have a $100m net worth from building a company that's created hundreds or thousands of jobs, and you earn $1m/year to run that company, I think your net worth actually drops each year under this proposal.
An analogy: let's say that starting tomorrow Uber said they would charge the .1% heaviest users $0.10 for every ride they had taken *in the past*. And this charge would happen yearly. And if you're one of those users you can't quit Uber w/o paying a large fee. Would that be fair?

X : Is my company more of a pioneer, settler or town planner?
Me : Hmmm. Tricky. I have mixed feelings on this. Let me explain why. I'm going to start with an old map of Fotango ...
... let me add a cell based structures and mix in attitude i.e. pioneer [A], settler [B] and town planner [C] ...
... now what I can do is added up all the people in the teams across all the maps and determine their frequency.
X : Aha, the company is more town planning?
Me : The problem is ... is that useful?

Wrote this for #ChristmasEve

TRUMP THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS

Twas the night before Christmas, & all through the White House
Not a cabinet member was quitting nor being forced out

The government was shutdown, Trump didn't care
In hopes that his border wall soon would be there
Don Jr and Eric were nestled all snug in their beds
While visions of hunting endangered species danced in their heads

And Melania in her separate room, and Trump in a rage
Watching CNN talk about immigrant kids in a cage
When over on Fox News there arose such a clatter
He turned on Sean Hannity to see what was the matter

Away to his iPhone he flew like a flash
Getting ready to tweet as he sat on his ass

Did you know that over 80% of businesses are undercharging for their services?

Here's why you need to raise your rates:

(Thread)

#Sales #smallbiz
Raising Your Rates is a Sign of Professionalism:

If you pay rent, your property management company raises rent each year.
The cost of access to gas, electric, and other utilities also rises each year.

Your rates must rise to support cost of living expenses.
Raising Your Rates Signals High Value or Quality

Low pricing immediately raises suspicion.

Premium rates signify quality, prestige, and luxury for business services.

O.k. this is going to be long tweet thread, but I promise it's worth it :) ... as long as you're into distributed systems, and network encryption, but then WHO ISN"T INTO DISTRIBUTED SYSTEMS AND NETWORK ENCRYPTION? Lame people, that's who ...
O.k., so here's the deal; TLS1.3 is coming, very very soon now, A SHINY NEW RFC, and we can BEHOLD ITS GREATNESS, because it is AWESOME. Even with all its flaws, it is AWESOME and BETTER than TLS1.2 and everything before.
TLS1.3 fixes a really dumb mistake that we made in prior versions. Basically it used to work like this ...

Client: How're you doing Mr Server?
Server: I'm good, here's my key so that we can talk
Client: Oh yeah, here's my key, let's talk
