This was a shocking book. I just finished it and wasn't expecting what I learned. Every Machine Learning and Data Science practitioner should learn about causal inference. It's a different way of thinking. It makes me look at the world with different eyes.

Iran is currently undertaking a major overhaul of the Paraguana oil refinery in Venezuela. The Paraguana refinery is the largest oil refinery in Venezuela. It has a capacity of 955,000 barrels per day, but due to US sanctions, it is running at only a fraction of its capacity. The overhaul is expected to restore the refinery's capacity to 700,000 barrels per day.

12 ideas from Don Valentine (founder of Sequoia) 1. There are two things in business that matter, and you can learn this in two minutes- you don’t have to go to business school for two years: high gross margins and cash flow. The other financial metrics you can forget.
 2. The trouble with the first time entrepreneur is that he doesn’t know what he doesn’t know. After a failure, he does know what he doesn’t know and can beat the hell out of people who still have to learn.
 3. The world of technology thrives best when individuals are left alone to be different, creative, and disobedient.
 4. The art of storytelling is critically important. Most of the entrepreneurs who come talk to us can't tell a story. Learning to tell a story is incredibly important because that's how the money works. The money flows as a function of the stories.
 5. We don't spend a lot of time wondering where people went to school. We are interested in their idea about the market they are after. The magnitude of the problem they are solving.
 6. We don't wait for you to knock on our door. We knock on your door.
 7. The right people to invest in are technologists. People who have a dream to solve a problem. Most were not interested in becoming wealthy. That was an accident. They were interested in solving technology problems and creating new products. 
 8. One of my jobs as a board member has been to counsel management to avoid distraction and to execute with constructive paranoia.
 9. Think about a company like Eastman Kodak – it was the leader in its market, and now it’s gone. How can a $100 billion company go out of business? The answer is, easily and quickly.
 10.We don't choose people. We choose markets. 
 11.We have gone into business with some people who had no business credentials. We taught them that you only had to do a few things well.
 12.All companies that go out of business do so for the same reason – they run out of money.
