I've been running a video game collection site for years. The number one request I get from people is to build an app. I've worked so hard on making the mobile version of the site to be just as functional as the desktop version, and I don't really understand why people want an app over just using the web version. I sometimes wonder if I should just do it to see if I'm missing out on market share, but I don't really want to have to maintain two different user interfaces.

You didn't actually click and read anything. Hank's page is saying exactly what the article you linked is saying. CRC is on the rise in young people. I'm not sure why the moderators changed the title of this post. It should be "Something is Going on with Colorectal Cancer."

I sell stuff to a lot of restaurants. Most of the people that open a second location end up making less money or end up closing everything after they just get run into the ground. Then again, some people do it successfully and make way more money. It just depends on so many things.

I'm not the OP, but I had a CGM several times through Levels. I can tell you that the major spikes (glucose over 200 after sitting between 80-90) really made me feel like shit. The 2 times I can remember it getting that high were when I had too much sushi, and a huge bowl with white rice from Chipotle. Brown rice never seemed to spike me nearly as bad, especially if paired with something high in fiber like black/brown beans. From a long term health perspective, I have no idea if it's a problem or not. I didn't like how bigger spikes felt, so there's probably something to it being bad for you long term. Obviously the more often you spike as a "healthy" person, the less sensitive your body is to insulin. Staying even on my glucose levels is always where I felt the best.

> You don't get to just 'decide' if your fledgling business is a potential unicorn or will just be a lifestyle SaaS business. It's a product of your idea/technology, the size of the market, competitive pressures, and your early traction.

Sure you do. Of course there are types of businesses that only succeed if they're a unicorn, but for the most part, you can decide how much business you want to do. I know we're talking about software, but I deal with lots of restaurants in my life. Say you start a restaurant, and after the initial opening craziness, you see that's it's a sustainable business with lots of loyal customers that like your food. There are people who are going to tell you to open another location, to franchise it out. You'll need investors to do that. It may or may not make you more money. You might think your product has the potential to be the next big chain. You also get the choice whether you want to do that or not.

If you have a good product that people want to pay for, you more than likely will have the choice to decide whether you want to scale the business up larger.
