Silicon Valley is the world’s iconic ecosystem of innovation, the “Florence” of our time.  Yet the lessons that most people draw from it are often wrong. It is not simply the result of mashing talented people, great ideas, and lots of money together, as many assume.  Those are just the starting ingredients.  Many places around the world also have smart, creative, rich people.  What is special about the Valley is the mixing of those ingredients, and that requires arecipe, which is the unusual culture. That recipe, however, has remained elusive to most outside observers.

החברה מאפשרת למשתמשים להכניס את פרטי כרטיס האשראי שלהם והיא תבדוק אם החיובים מאושרים, חשודים או שמטרתם לגנוב כסף מהמשתמש כשהיא מסתמכת על משתמשים אחרים המסמנים ליד כל חיוב אם הוא נכון, או לא.

החברה טוענת כי 9 מתוך 10 אנשים לא בודקים את החשבונות שלהם ולא רק האקרים, אלא גם בעלי עסקים הוגנים לכאורה מנצלים את הפגיעות של המשתמש ומחייבים אותו בסכום גבוה יותר ממה שסיכמו

According to a study by Harvard professor David Wise and two colleagues, 46.1% of Americans die with less than $10,000 in assets.

According to Bloomberg, "The 50 stocks in the S&P 500 with the lowest analyst ratings at the end of 2011 posted an average return of 23 percent [in 2012], outperforming the index by 7 percentage points."

Fortune magazine published an article titled "10 Stocks To Last the Decade" in August, 2000. By December 2012, the portfolio had lost 74.3% of its value, according to analyst Barry Ritholtz.

Cambridge Associates estimates that 3% of venture capital firms generate 95% of the industry's returns. It adds that there is little change in the composition of those 3% of firms over time.

 According to ConvergEx Group, "Only 58% of us are even saving for retirement in the first place. Of that group, 60% have less than $25,000 put away. .A full 30% have less than $1,000."

If you add up annual profits of the entire airline industry going back to 1948, you get -$32 billion.

ARE YOU LOOKING FOR A JOB? I WAS.

  I can't promise you the blue pill and that you will wake up with a new job next morning but I found a way to bit statistic. Which statistics? Well mine basically, it's not the first time I am looking for a job but I learned that for each job opening there are about 1000 applicants, only 20 people get interviewed, from these 20 applicants the company chose one, that’s 2% times 5%, this means you have a 0.1% chance to get that job. That’s a bad statistic even for the worst casino in Vegas. I found a way to improve the first number from 2% to a conservative 60%. This means I have a 3% chance to be hired.
