   Great resume in general. However, you don't list a single quantifiable achievement in your work experience. You state what you did, but in no way provide data to describe the impact of what you did. If you'd include that, your res

   Not blaming you at all, Radim - it's not easy to stay on top of the latest developments in this fast-moving space. This was great work and I hope you will continue running these benchmark test. Also, feel free to ping me via sameting@a

   You are right, the pricing models are hard to compare 1:1. However, most Flixbus' customers can't afford (or don't want to afford) a Bahncard 50 and are very price sensitive. I've been travelling with Flixbus throughout

   I wouldn't be surprised if they wouldn't lose much business at all. With Flixbus, people pay 22€ for a 7:15h bus ride from Munich to Berlin. With DB, people will have to pay 150€ for a 4h train ride from Munich to Berlin (without

    I agree, although bonuses and shares can also backfire (esp. bonuses). There seems to be a mix of extrinsic and intrinsic factors that work well. Do you think there is an optimal solution to make an employee have skin in the game, but in a

    I look forward to reading this book. It would be interesting to have an investigation of the two different kinds of "skin in the game" in this book. There is a positive spin of the expression, e.g. the entrepreneur, who has skin i

    I guess the acquisition of Waze and the investment in Uber will play out really nice for them with regards to the "crawling" of streets you describe. Uber and Waze cover the most important urban areas, where the majority of all mi
