Whenever you read or hear the phrase "losing money" you should ask yourself: what does this person mean?

1. GAAP earnings?
2. Cash flow?
3. Unit economics?

The phrase is so unspecific that it should not be used unless money in physical form is lost.https://t.co/r13Nabl3vd

내년 IPO를 선언한 Airbnb가 전년 동기대비 두배인 3.06억불의 손실을 기록. 세일즈와 마케팅 비용이 58%가 증가한 3.67억불을 차지한 것이 주 원인. 매출은 전년비 31% 증가한 8.39억불을 기록했으나 비용이 47% 증가해 적자폭 확대 https://t.co/SpVi7sqp5p pic.twitter.com/8BYujLpzc3
