Hiten Shah on VC funding vs. bootstrapping and how to determine ‘grit’ [video]
- mooreds 11y agoNote that this is a video interview.
- mizzao 11y agoIronic how videos are such low-bandwidth ways to communicate compared to good writing. You have to wait for them, you can't scan through them to gauge whether they are good quality, sometimes you're not set up to listen to audio, etc.
- pcmaffey 11y agoIn the interview, HS says he listens to everything at 2x speed. I've felt like you, that video/audio is too slow and cumbersome, and so have eschewed it as a learning method, except as background for some other task. I'll have to give his 2x method a try. I could see an opportunity for a "Pocket for audio" app, that (1) saves a clip for listening at a good time, (2) auto-transcribes it so you can scan for content quality or clip the part you want to hear, and (3) makes it easy to speed through at 2x or skip dull parts.
- zephod 11y agoI'd like to listen to this as a podcast later -- any idea how I can get hold of it, without running a Flash video player in a desktop browser?
