'Investing in entrepreneurs and startups is a fun but different world from investing in conventional stocks, bonds, and commodities. First of all, it’s more of an investment in people than in a business, since the startup is usually an idea barely half-baked when they need your money. Secondly, the risk is very high, since as many as 90% of startups fail in the first five years.

'Automation is continuing apace. Before too long we will have self-driving cars, robots running factories, and computers taking over white collar jobs like marking exam papers and legal work. Oxford researchers estimate that 45% of todays jobs will disappear in the next twenty years. Also in this fast changing world hard-earned professional skills can quickly become redundant – driving and legal work follow from the examples I gave above, but there are many, many others.

The reviews were so-so but we both thought it was outstanding. Paul Giamatti was perfect as Abraham Zapruder and I seem to like Billy Bob Thornton better and better as he ages (he’d be one of the two people I’d pick to play my dad Stan in his biography – the other is Alan Arkin).

'Buyers have a negative association to dollar signs and decimals. Even if it is for a fraction of a second, $39.00 feels more negative to consumers than 39 does. That’s why fine restaurants often drop the dollar sign and the decimal in their menus. The finest of the fine don’t show prices at all (if you have to ask.). I am not suggesting you don’t show your pricing, but when you do display your prices I am suggesting you ditch the dollar sign and the decimal.

'Paul Graham wrote a very influential article in July 2013 entitled Do Things That Don''t Scale. Speaking as a bootstrapper of many years, doing things that don''t scale is the only way I know how to get things done in the early days. Bootstrapping by definition means that you don''t have a lot of money to work with, which forces you to cut down your product to the basics and rely on manual processes wherever you can.

'When I was a teenager, my mom would often drag me into the dinning room, tie me up to a chair at that big table and force me to do my homework. School was not my thing. And if a “thing” did not involve a skateboard, a set of headphones or a group of friends it was not willingly getting done. During these dining room dashes of homework sprints I would often get a heartfelt lecture, pep talk or plea from my mom.
