The conclusion of the article isn’t controversial but the logic is incomplete. Of course policy-makers should continuously evaluate whether or not shutting down a whole economy is worth it. Definitely we need better testing to understand th

Dumb question, but does anyone have a recommendation for good software for generating the schema diagrams in the Drupal link but for Redshift?

The structure of the article is weird yes but the sections are entirely relevant to marketing analytics. The writer establishes they have some baseline analytics and understanding of demand generation prior to embarking on paid. Then they e

I mean sure? Does that really change the point of the article? Even 25% of those numbers gets us to really impressive revenue numbers. Additionally the author's conclusion that although Airpod revenue is relatively good for a techno

Regardless of where this debate ends up, AirPods are estimated to have sold 60M units in 2019 [0]. This means AirPods as a stand-alone business is somewhere between a $5B-$15B/year. [0] https://www.businessinsider.com/a

Sure thing - this is going to happen because their incentives aren’t fully aligned between users and their own long term vs short term goals. It’s fascinating to watch. It feels like the aging of any industry titan. First they were innovati

Genius was high profile enough to attract attention to the case. De-platforming a customer can feasibly demonstrate having a monopoly in a given business space. Demonstrating you have a monopoly could lead to advanced regulation.

“Thanks to Google’s kindness” The business isn’t kind - it’s practical. This should read “thanks to a positive transaction value Genius was forgiven”

I’m a big fan of what Jiobit is doing: https://www.jiobit.com/ The core team is all ex-Moto engineers and was built from the ground up in the US. Based out of Chicago I believe.

“Strategy is choosing what not to do” is the standard trope. Start-ups sorta get this already: focus on a core base of customers who love your product despite its flaws. Iterate. The insight I liked best in this article was, “In contrast, t

This post sounds hyperbolic but I’m not that far off from agreeing. A family member went to the doctor to get a work up on a rare disease. The work up basically followed a flow chart from a specialist center that was easily accessible onlin

Is your claim there exists no uniquely human trait as compared to other animals? That’s interesting I feel like there is but I’m not so certain. How about the Sapiens take on gossip?

I get your point but I don’t agree with the logic. Death is game over. So yes the chance of incident is low, but the cost of the incident is at a maximum (you can die).

I’m into this thesis but last time I checked for a sizable office they wanted a 2x-3x premium vs comparable long-term lease market rates. That type of premium felt irresponsible as compared to the possibility of increasing FTEs. My own gut

Just a side comment: this is one reason why I love virtual credit cards. In this way, you can create rules for businesses who levy overzealous extra charges and price increases.

Hire user here. IMO the product was functional (and cheap relative to the market) but not good. There were a lot of UX quirks that made it feel like an outside consultancy slapped some “Material” design on a pre-built app and called it a da

I’d take a different approach to your preparation: Try to find videos of FB officers (Zuck, Sandburg) who have already been publicly grilled. Most likely on a corporate level, FB employees already know how to answer and respond to most of t

Super on brand response: personal, quick, and well thought-out. Kudos to the team for their ability to handle a crisis. On the topic of read receipts, I'm glad this is opening up a broader discussion about (pretty common) industry pra
