The more inflated the language in your startup's pitch, the less convincing it seems. If you're a seed stage company, don't tell me you're transforming global this or poised to dominate that. Tell me you noticed something that might turn out to be an overlooked opportunity.

maybe you won't make it

so make the journey worth it

One of my favourite articles appeared in my timeline again—@mjmauboussin and @amaub’s discussion of the fuzziness of probability in everyday parlance, and how to avoid imprecise verbiage that often leads to poor decision making.

So I’m sharing it again:

Have you ever wondered why people seemingly dressed better in the past? There are many reasons, such as the wide availability of skilled tailors. But an overlooked one has to do with how fabrics have changed over time. 🧵

@sarendil Oui! The mobile app however has A LOT of room for improvement (UX was definitely not a priority when it was built).

It's painful but it is what it is.

After ~4.5 yrs of crazy hard work, we are shutting down Anar and returning capital to investors.

Sharing a bit about what happened and what I learnt in the journey

When you lay bricks like dominoes at the proper distance, on top of the obvious domino effect, you get an unexpected opposite wave starting as soon as the last bricks falls down

What is ignored or neglected by the media -- but will be studied by historians?

Here's the full list of 25 examples:

[Valeriy M., PhD, MBA, CQF @predict_addict]

Did you know that people tried to prove central limit theorem for over two centuries, first starting with de Moivre (1733), then almost a century after by Laplace who both used binomial distribution.

Then it was Poisson who worked on this theorem, and Chebyshev (1890–1891) who gave a rigorous demonstration of it in the middle of the nineteenth century.

At the beginning of the twentieth century, the Russian mathematician Liapounov, Aleksandr Mikhailovich (1901) created the generally recognized form of the central limit theorem by introducing its characteristic functions.

 Markov, Andrei Andreevich(1908) also worked on it and was the first to generalize the theorem to the case of independent variables.

In 1924 Kolmogorov started to become interested in research in Probability Theory and in 1928 he was able for the first time to formulate necessary and sufficient conditions of the Law of Large Numbers that escaped other best mathematicians of the time for many decades.

It has taken the best mathematicians almost two centuries to prove conditions for LLN and prove CLT.

In fact there is almost 500 (!) pages book describing the history of CLT.

The Swedish city of Alingsås just passed a new ordinance explicitly calling for "more classical architecture anchored in Alingsås's distinctive character."

Fruit of the Architecture Uprising movement. People are tired of ugly buildings.

10,000 fewer cars per day.

That’s the stated intent of Rotterdam’s reimagined Coolsingel.

All but two lanes have been removed; with a dedicated tramway and abundant space for walking, rolling and gathering.

Design your street for the traffic you want, not the traffic you have.

Went down a rabbit hole and found out that the co-founder of Gypsy Kings is a guy called Jalloul Bouchikhi who's originally Moroccan.

His brother, Ahmed Bouchiki, was assassinated in 1973 by Mossad agents in Norway. Bouchikhi, a waiter, had been mistaken for Ali Hassan Salameh.

The only thing that really matters for a startup is having a product that people really want, and ideally can’t help but tell others about.

That’s probably 90% of the game. All the other startup accoutrements that we all hem and haw about are worth the other 10%.
