Feb 11, 12:00AM
Last year, I dug into why there are so few black people in venture capital. More recently, the folks over at Social Capital and The Information took a crack at providing the data around diversity among partners within venture capital. I’ve now decided to take a more comprehensive look at diversity within venture capital across all levels. Read MoreTwitter Plans Changes To @Replies And Other Confusing Rules
Feb 10, 10:04PM
Twitter can be an incredibly confusing service for new and existing users, and Twitter says it’s now planning to address some rules that might make it unwieldy. In the company’s letter to shareholders, Twitter said that changes were coming to rules like the @reply and the .@name syntax. We don’t know what that looks like just yet, but that the company plans to address that… Read MoreBullish: A New Era
Feb 10, 10:00PM
After a short hiatus, Bullish has returned. The talk show is exactly how you remember it, except with a new host (that’s me, MRD!) and way better music. Sorry I’m not sorry, Alex! Anyway, this week we brought in Matthew Schwab, president of on-demand flower delivery BloomThat, to shed some light on the on-demand economy, expectations around liability and delivery logistics.

The Mobile Health Paradox: Why Data Isn't Nearly Enough
Feb 10, 10:00PM
Across most developed economies, healthcare costs are rising faster than inflation. A key cause of the rise in healthcare spending lies in the spiraling costs of treating preventable chronic diseases. These facts suggest that many of the key healthcare challenges of the twenty-first century lie in how we tackle chronic disease. This article will explore the role of mobile technologies in… Read MoreFacebook Distances Itself From Marc Andreessen's Statements On Free Basics
Feb 10, 9:45PM
Marc Andreessen, noted Venture Capitalist and General Partner at Andreessen Horowitz is having quite a contrite Wednesday. Andreessen, who currently sits on Facebook, Inc.’s board, caused a stir last night with his online response to Indian internet regulator TRAI nixing Facebook’s plans to implement its ‘Free Basics’ program in India. Updated with statement from… Read MoreTwitter's Monthly User Count Actually Shrunk If You Exclude SMS
Feb 10, 9:39PM
It was bad enough that Twitter’s total user count is stuck at 320 million with zero growth this quarter. But if you don’t count “SMS Fast Followers”, or people that only use Twitter via text message and don’t see ads, its monthly user count went down from 307 million to 305 million monthly active users in Q4. In the U.S., Twitter’s total monthly user count… Read MoreTesla Will Unveil Its $35,000 Model 3 On March 31st

We’re finally going to see what it looks like, and hopefully a bit about just what it can do, on March 31st. News… Read MoreTwitter's User Growth Goes Nowhere As It Meets Revenue Expectations Of $710M
Feb 10, 9:27PM
Twitter today reported its fourth-quarter earnings — one of the most important quarters of the company’s history — and basically fell flat on its face. Twitter’s monthly active user growth, on a quarterly basis, was flat, compared to a slight jump that what analysts were expecting. Last quarter, the company had 320 million monthly active users, and this quarter was… Read MoreYou Should Be Using 1 Second Everyday
Feb 10, 8:56PM
As a writer at a site that covers a lot of startups, I hear the same line a few times a week: “We just wanted to make something that makes peoples lives better.” 1 Second Everyday actually has made my life better… and it’s done so without really having to do much of anything at all.

Feb 10, 6:53PM
HBO NOW may have scored as one of last year’s top streaming apps in terms of revenue, but its subscriber count is falling short of analyst projections. Industry observers had expected the service, which allows consumers to stream HBO programming over the internet without a cable TV subscription, to reach 1 to 2 million subscribers. However, HBO CEO Richard Plepler confirmed that the… Read MoreAcre Designs Wants To Change The Way We Buy And Build Houses
Feb 10, 6:38PM
Most new homes that are being built in the U.S. today really aren’t all that different from those that were built 30 years ago. Some materials may be different, but most builders haven’t really kept up with the times. Y Combinator-backed Acre Designs wants to change this by building zero-energy homes that are outfitted with the latest technology. Read MoreUnity Announces Native Support For SteamVR
