Yahoo Acquires Tumblr, Promises 'Not to Screw It Up'
Mashable20 May 2013 | 5:24 amFollowing the recent onslaught of reports saying Yahoo has acquired Tumblr, an official press release has now confirmed the acquisition has indeed happened In a somewhat odd press release, Yahoo promises it will not "screw up" the popular microblogging service "Per the agreement and our promise not to screw it up, Tumblr will be independently operated as a separate business. David Karp will remain CEO. The product, service and brand will continue to be defined and developed separately with the same Tumblr irreverence, wit, and commitment to empower creators," says Yahoo in the release The… -

Success Has A Thousand Fathers
A VC : Venture Capital and Technology20 May 2013 | 3:50 amBack in the early days of AVC, I did a thing called VC Cliche Of The Week.

One of the cliches I posted about is "success has a thousand fathers." I thought I would re-run that post. Here it is. You can count on it - when a deal works out spectacularly everyone involved will take credit for it.

Status and Power Drive Social Dynamics in Business
Ben Casnocha19 May 2013 | 9:30 pmAn excerpt from The Start-Up of You, as featured on LinkedIn. If you want to maintain relationships with busy, powerful people, you have to pay special attention to the role of status. Status refers to a person’s power, prestige, and rank within a given social setting at a given moment in time. There is no one pecking order in life; status is relative and dynamic. David Geffen is high status in the entertainment world, for example, but perhaps comparatively less so if Steven Spielberg is in the room. Likewise, Brad Pitt is high-status, but put him in a room full of software engineers when…

A study contributes to the deceptive rebranding of naturopathy as “lifestyle counseling” [Respectful Insolence]
20 May 2013 | 12:14 amThat naturopathy is a veritable cornucopia of quackery mixed with the odd sensible, science-based suggestion here and there is not in doubt, at least not to supporters of science-based medicine (SBM). However, what naturopaths are very good at doing is representing their pseudoscience as somehow being scientific and thus on par with actual SBM. So how do they accomplish this? Certainly, it’s not through the validation of any of the cornucopia of pseudoscience and quackery that naturopaths apply to their patients as though picking “one from column A and one from column B”… -
Bad Science [Stoat]
19 May 2013 | 2:56 pmVV has a thoughtful post about the value of peer review, looked at mostly through the lens of a couple of recent poor papers. Peer review (or whatever system you choose for choosing which papers will see the light) has to balance weeding out dross with not suppressing the unusual but good. It is primarily intended to do this for scientists; its not so great at handling the recent (?) phenomenon of septics deliberately gaming journals in order to publish their drivel. But I think I care about that less than I used to. Probably the greatest problem it faces is the vast mass of publish-or-perish… -
Nature or Nurture? [Uncertain Principles]

Attempts at how to categorize SciArt [World's Fair]
19 May 2013 | 1:28 pmI was discussing SciArt on several occasions with different people recently and was fishing for a way to classify different SciArt in order to make a particular point – the point being that the type of SciArt I find most interesting and valuable is in the minority. Basically, it seems there are 3 (or maybe 4) general types of SciArt: informational, inspirational, and degradational. I should note that mostly I am talking about SciArt that is performed here – mostly plays and movies. Although probably some variant of this can be applied to visual arts or music and such.

Samsung's New 13-Inch Display Has a Crazy 3,200 x 1,800 Pixel Resolution
20 May 2013 | 4:45 amSamsung will be displaying some of its latest and greatest notebook and tablet screens at the Society for Information Display's Display Week 2013. Among them, one stands out: a 13.3-inch notebook display with a 3,200x1,800 (WQXGA+) pixel resolution For those keeping count, that's quite a bit better than Apple's 13-inch Retina MacBook Pro, which has a maximum 2,560x1,600 pixel resolution. To make things even better, Samsung claims that LCD can deliver "30 percent" greater power savings than existing LCD displays Of course, we're not quite sure what we'd do with such a high resolution on a… -

One lucky fan, however, got up close and personal with the pop singer when his genitals came crashing into the back of her head, slamming her face into the stage. After removing the girl's head from between his legs, Miguel hugged another (not as lucky) fan next to him because everything is awesome and the show must go on.Read more...

You Can Do Too Much Due Diligence
13 May 2013 | 3:18 amIt's Monday, time for another lesson I've learned in the venture capital business. Today I will tell a story that I love telling. It has some of my favorite people in it. Back in 2004, early in my blogging career, I heard about a service that had just launched called Feedburner. It provided a number of useful services for a blog's RSS feed. So I went and signed up and AVC became one of the first users of the service. I immediately liked the service and the idea. So I contacted the founder/CEO Dick Costolo, who has gone onto bigger and better things. I told Dick that I was… -
Off The Schneid
8 May 2013 | 3:15 amThe almost two year long slump is over. I've led a new venture investment for USV, which closed a few weeks ago and was announced last night. The company is Coinbase and my blog post announcing the investment is on the USV blog. The WSJ also wrote about it here. This hiatus, which I've blogged about a bit on and off, was mostly a result of being very full up with responsibilities for existing investments. I have made twenty investments since the founding of USV in the fall of 2004 (now 21) and have only exited six, so I have had fourteen investments that I am responsible for at USV. I… -
From DonorsChoose To Kickstarter
28 Apr 2013 | 6:41 amIn the wake of my Return and Ridicule post, I was asked how one goes about finding these services that are ignored and/or ridiculed. And the answer I gave was "if you use them you might realize how powerful they are." I woke up thinking about that in the context of Kickstarter today. It must be related to the fact that today is the fourth anniversary of Kickstarter's launch. How was it that I was so sure the Kickstarter project would work when it launched back in 2009? Well it was because of what happened on this blog a couple years before that. The story starts in the fall of… -

Awe, An On-Going Series
11 May 2013 | 4:26 pmMy interest in “awe” as a primary human emotion continues, so I took note of these paragraphs pop up in Jon Haidt’s excellent book The Righteous Mind: Why Good People Are Divided by Politics and Religion. In the 1830s, Ralph Waldo Emerson delivered a set of lectures on nature that formed the foundation of American Transcendentalism, a movement that rejected the analytic hyperintellectualism of America’s top universities. Emerson argued that the deepest truths must be known by intuition, not reason, and that experiences of awe in nature were among the best ways to… -

“Sadness is a Lucky Thing to Feel”
28 Apr 2013 | 12:25 amOver the past couple years, I’ve become a huge Louis C.K. fan. I’m almost done with Season 2 of his show Louie, which is amazing. 20 minute episodes packed with comedy and real insight. In his recent Rolling Stone interview (paywall), he says this: I don’t mind feeling sad. Sadness is a lucky thing to feel. I have the same amount of happy and sad as anybody else. I just don’t mind the sad part as much; it’s amazing to have those feelings. I’ve always felt that way. I think that looking at how random and punishing life can be, it’s a privilege.
