That's an excellent perspective that I hadn't thought of before. How would you go about doing that? More beer doesn't necessarily correlate to lower salaries -- you might be trading off inclusiveness or safe work environment

Good point. I don't value flat organizations, but that doesn't mean my company has a hierarchy. You're definitely right.

The value is called "bonded by love of product" not "Employees use product". I'm not really convinced that's what it means.

Good points!

I would second the option to negate some of these "values." There are about eight that I don't consider to be "values", but just to pick one of them at random, I don't consider "has good beer" to be a

Right, but the OP's point is that if I watch your kid for you, and you think I'm doing an OK job, then you and I can reach an arrangement separate from UberSitting. Say UberSitting charges $15/hr, where I get $10/hr and

Nice name :D I never use the telecoil, but I totally know what you mean about losing connection. One thing that drives me absolutely bonkers is when an app steals my connection because it has an audio component, and even worse is when it st

I take my hearing aid out when I'm at the barber, because he sprays my hair with water, and I don't want him to snip my hearing aid with the scissors. I thought everyone with these hearing aids took them out, but the author mentio

I've noticed this phenomenon as well, but one thing you can do is watch the network traffic on your router, and you'll see that they aren't snooping in on your conversations. What's likely happening is that Facebook know

I would not say anything at all. I would keep all interactions with Sarah as professional as possible, including not reciprocating physical contact or jokes. I would also keep a log of any times she engages in physical contact or inappropri

I also really enjoyed the books, but definitely more from a "these are cool ideas" perspective than from great narrative storytelling. Something was probably lost in translation, but the ideas were really great. I especially like

That's my assumption! I think A is a bizarre solution, but I absolutely think they've tested the crap out of this and that the way it works is the one that makes the most conversions for them. Still... crazy!

I feel the same way!

Well, I guess my point is that it wouldn't have added or taken anything away from the experience. I notice color and contrast a lot more than I notice typeface. The number of times I've said to myself "this font choice is awf

I must admit the whole idea of font design mystifies me. If you put 100 fonts in front of me, I'm not sure I could tell you which ones looked better than others, beyond serif/sans-serif and tall/fat. For someone to put this m

Potentially!

by Jemaclus 9y ago
Like I said, I'm positive they A/B test the crap out of it, so I'm sure it brings in more conversions... but that is sooo counter-intuitive, I'm not sure what the rationale is.

This happens to me all the time, as well. I read a lot, and I buy a book on my Kindle and two days later get a promo email with the same book in it. I imagine their emails are just less sophisticated and target tens of thousands of customer

by Jemaclus 9y ago
It's possible. Like I said, I'm sure they A/B tested the shit out of this... I just don't know why this keeps happening. Your hypothesis is as good as any right now!

by Jemaclus 9y ago
I don't know if I have a good answer for this specifically, but as a consumer, I have a little rant. You know, Amazon must A/B test the shit out of their homepage... but if I buy a shower curtain, my Amazon home page is nothing bu

I read about 1-2 books per week... but I also have a 45 minute commute by train each way, so I get a solid 90 minutes of reading in. I'm also a fairly fast reader, though, and I love to read more than just about anything, so maybe that

I personally do 9-5 with a 30 minute lunch, maybe 60 minutes if I meet a friend or something. A lot of startups tend to have flexible hours, especially for software engineers. I've worked in places where some engineers don't get i

I agree. I had an interview yesterday where they passed, and the reasoning was "You didn't seem interested in the job." And I sort of think that's hilarious, because nobody tried to sell me on the job. Nobody told me exa

IMO, hiring is like a funnel. At the top of the funnel is the entire universe of people. At the bottom of the funnel is your hire. The goal is to filter out as many people as possible as quickly as possible. One key point is whether or not
