Excellent watch if you're interested in tech or politics.

Not only is this a good story, it includes some seriously great advice. Incredibly impressive all around.

This is an interesting concept regarding how rare it is for people to actually "do the work." A few times in my life I've had truly elite skills in areas where I put in thousands of hours of work. I'm also constantly exposed to other people's learnings, conclusions, etc. and

I have had number of discussions, some might call arguments, with others over the past decade that the NFL "had peaked" and was in trouble relative to other sports and entertainment because of: *declining youth participation in football *fantasy football culture ruining team

I think inflation feels way worse than it is because: *People quickly get used to wage and asset price increases, but it's easy to remember how cheap things used to be *Significant variance in what products are seeing inflation. Everyone notices certain products are priced way

This is essentially proof that a massive sports audience and A+ brand recognition are not sufficient to compete with DK/FD in the US sportsbook market. Which begs the question, what is? Most people point to product. But true product differentiation is really hard for many

100% true, but still not that widely accepted, even by pros. This and everything that stems from it is a big part of why gambling professionally is very difficult.

Amazing get for UD. Also, interesting landing a New England legend while DraftKings is at the same time unwinding a massive, presumably failed, media acquisition. Super impressive execution by UD on their media strategy over the past few years.

The interesting part about this tax is it's sending a very clear message to politicians that if they raise gambling taxes, it's going to be felt directly by consumers in their state. Which is how things work in most industries. I've long thought that there was basically no

Ben’s content has probably had the single biggest impact on my career and life of anything I’ve ever consumed. I don’t think ETR would exist, and certainly not as it does today, without having followed Stratechery for years prior to launching. Highly recommend Ben Thompson’s

Portnoy reacting to that last part is content that we need to see (and I assume can’t see, for contractual reasons)

Am I wrong or is this far different than DK’s exec compensation? What accounts for this?
