How to value a private company: Annual revenue x 10 x YoY growth = how VCs would value it Annual profit x 5 + assets - debts = how independent appraisers would value it (409a) Annual profit x 10 + assets - debts = how PE would value it Annual profit x 30 = how the public…

Mainstreaming of Dravidian principles in action.

Strengths and weaknesses are two sides of the same coin - Detail Oriented = Analytical / Paralysis - Idea Generation = Innovation / Scattered - Hierarchy = Structured / Inflexible - Multitasking = Productive / Unproductive - Visionary = Optimistic / Blinded So what do you do…

This tweet inspired me, so starting today, my book Ergodicity comes with a bundle that includes: - the book - the audiobook - further readings - a few videos I made - links to related podcasts - an option to buy a call with the author

Why does Egypt keep the border with Gaza closed? Why are there more Palestinian refugees in Jordan than in Palestine? Why doesn't Lebanon grant citizenship to Palestinian refugees? Do Arab countries really support Palestine? It's not as it seems:

What's a book with beautiful prose that people are sleeping on?

Discord and Slack is where knowledge goes to die. @zulip is a highly under-appreciated tool for communities where knowledge has a longer lifespan than 3 months.

In 1967 Israel went to war and defeated all its powerful Arab neighbours. It seized West Bank and East Jerusalem from Jordan, Sinai and Gaza from Egypt and Golan from Syria--all in six days. Remarkable show of strength and the case for deterrence has never been stronger.

“Disinformation is like cocaine – sniff once or twice, it may not change your life. If you use it every day, though, it will make you an addict – a different man.” Yuri Andropov, former KGB Chairman (1967-1982) We have a lot of these addicts now on X, @elonmusk. ht @mariaressa

I was born and raised in Lebanon, which used to be the ONLY Christian majority nation in the Middle East. My 9/11 happened in 1975 when my home was bombed, burying me under the rubble. This is my story of survival.

Books I Keep Open For Reference When Crafting Narratives in Product Management: 1. Bulletproof Problem Solving

1/ At the beginning of the 12th century BC, population groups, mainly of Aegean origin, are forcibly settled in the coastal zone of southern Canaan. They probably came from the sea, having firstly participated in the failed invasion of the Sea Peoples in the Nile Delta.

Books pay 99% of their attention to building models. Engineers spend 1% of their time building them. Here is the diagram of a production Machine Learning system: • Training pipeline: It processes the data, trains a model, evaluates it, and versions it. • A Deployment…

Airports are becoming shopping malls! Delhi airport earns more from duty free and shop rentals than actual flight-related income. 64% of its revenue comes from shop rentals, F&B, advertisements etc. A short thread 🧵

1937: Arabs reject the Peel Commission to create a Jewish and Arab state. 1947: Arabs reject the UN partition plan to create a Jewish and Arab state. Wage war against the new nation of Israel. Lose more land than the partition gave them. 1967: Israel wins yet another war against…

Premiumisation is a clear trend!!! As the income goes up people love to own and taste the premium products. That results into demand for SUVs, Branded clothes, Gadgets, watches, footwears etc. Four companies I track, will get benefit of premiumisation trend. 1] Ethos: They…

Let’s say you’re designing a new product (course, book, app, etc) around topic X. You can ask a bunch of people who really care about X three questions in order to help you build a great product. What questions do you pick? Tentatively, mine are: 1. What’s your biggest…

Doing a tiny SEO course inside the indie masterminds community. Planning just 6 10 minute videos. To help members in the early stages go from 0 to 1. SEO is a vast topic, but you don't need to know everything on Day 1. You just need to know the basics to get started.

10 thoughts on beauty from Jordan Peterson: 1. Make one thing in your life as beautiful as you can. This will be a direct “invitation to the divine.” 2. Beauty is absolutely terrifying to people because it highlights the ugly. 3. Great art will “invade your life and change…

I absolutely agree that India and Japan are great to juxtapose against each other. But having spent a lot of time in both countries, I think this analysis is only partially correct. As a poor country, India has a ethic called “jugaad,” which essentially translates to “make it…

So much rhetoric in here: - Repetition of opening clause (Canadians know... Canadians know...) - Contrasts (right and wrong) - Repeat of root word in different forms (challenged/ challenging) - Personification (step up, stand up) - Rule of three (on Canadians, on our lives,…

This is the level of secrecy they maintain. They built their own video conferencing system because they did not trust the security of zoom or other commercial services.

Japan has an insanely hardcore work culture and extremely efficient govt/infra and their gdp is nearly flat for 40 years. very little exported innovation. America has none of those things and our economy is incredible and literally everything is invented here. How??

Such claims come from a position of insecurity. Confident and secure people don’t need to cook up stories, brag or demean others. This is just Hindus-knew-everything version 2.0. Aldous Huxley observed this back in the 1920s! But why is a so-called "decolonial" govt doing it?

This dude slapped a new label (& name: Le Château Colombier) on a shitty $2.50 supermarket wine and won gold medal at the Gilbert et Gaillard wine competition in France. They described it as "suave, edgy and rich palate with clean, young aromas that promise a lovely complexity"

Look at the number of shareholders and the exponential increase when it comes to IRCTC. Stock peaked out in October 2021:- A very useful strategy for exits in euphoria is to compare the 200 EMA with the Stock Price. If the gap between the two is more than 75%-80%, high chances…

How to do hard stuff: write down a 1 page doc with your key assumptions, the hypothesis/goal you want to test, and your plan to do it now read it with a maximally critical eye…does it make sense? are there gaps? iterate until you can’t find any now go execute like crazy

-every specialist they go to thinks it’s specifically an issue within their specialty (e.g. the dentist thinks it’s an airway obstruction) -continuously new symptoms start to appear over time and they don’t seem to be stitched together properly in the record

In 2011, Jensen Huang held this incredible 60-minute lecture at Stanford. $NVDA has returned an insane 140x since then. The lecture covers topics such as NVIDIA's early days, risk-taking, innovation, the importance of a strong corporate culture, and more. Enjoy!

If Money was not a concern, what would you be doing in your life? For me, I would’ve loved to study theatre and languages.

Fascinating piece on how current society reflects Huxley’s vision, rather than Orwell’s In ⁦@matthewsyed article in the S Times

@dvassallo @avneesh It really took a lot of zooming out (& Nassim Taleb) to understand the randomness you're referring to and connect it with even my own experiences. Starting small + tight feedback loop is a strategy more people should adopt!

Here is my verified PnL by Zerodha. Also, I had shown my Mutual Fund portfolio publicly a few months back. Was at a 16-17% profit within a year. Please note: [1] I am an investor, not a trader. I don't do trading videos/or show FnO trades and all. For me last 360 days,…
