In my case I think of it as how a blind person might experience the world, I can model spatial relations very well but don't see anything. I've never had a problem with geometry, math, algorithms, etc, and I can often skip the pen

Make sure you incorporate in a form that US investors are comfortable with. Few investors are going to want to figure out what an ApS or GmH is just to make a seed investment in your tiny startup. It also gives tou better exit potential in

If I did another startup in Europe, I would incorporate in Delaware and raise US money from the get go. It's cool to see the YC terms borrowed directly, and hopefully that would be a shot across the bows of European investors. But to r

We had a small office in a smaller town (Odense) in Denmark and reopened ~July 2020. We had no masks within the office by agreement among ourselves, but were very strict in our personal lives. We really enjoyed the interaction during lockdo

A gaussian blur is a point-wise multiplication in Fourier space. If you know the filter, you can technically reverse it with a point-wise division. Even noise can be controlled for by using optimization techniques to recover the correct div

I once looked into licensing some software from an English university. At the very beginning of the discussion, I was read a long list of domains where the software had already been exclusively licensed. Great! We didn't fall into any

I think family can be an indication of stability. Existing obligations can be factored in ahead of time. The alternative (and this was my case), you can start something in your mid to late 20s, and if wanting a family becomes a factor while

The retailer gets to claim any VAT they pay back from the government. Individuals do pay 60-70% tax (if you include payroll), but it's better to look at the overall taxation rate which is ~50% of GDP.

I would welcome such a comment, it tempers what was admittedly my own hyperbole with a nuance of reality. But yes, I doubt an American full-service car wash would recognizable in the Nordics.

Setting culture is a large part of leadership. Most likely one of two things happened: a) the leadership was complicit in the culture, b) the leadership was too weak to prevent a toxic culture from festering. In either case, the leadership

Another take is that if workers are able to say no to a shit job, then the burden is placed on the employer to either eliminate the job or make it less shit. In the Nordics, there are no manual car washes, yet life goes on. Economically it

I was in startup land over in SF, so my salary topped out lower at 160k USD but with ~2% equity. I was in a partnership in a small plane, and one of the guys was "in his 20's making $500k+" at google as an L6 plus retention b

It's brutal from both sides, consumers are extremely price sensitive and will price out living wages for workers in favor of cheap goods. A transparent example of this is airline tickets, where creature comforts have been progressively

The US seems to have a monopoly on the ability to pay top talent (at least in the west). At the high end of the talent pool, I don't think opening up is going to have a significant impact. We're mostly already internationally mobi
