I agree, it would be hell. This is why it's important to determine what your goals are: make as much money as possible at any cost, or...?

I wish, I wish I could The Economist article on this, but searching online for "how millionaires become rich" and similar things is an awful way to find useful info. :) However, I remember reading in The Economist that the majorit

One thing you didn't really bring up is the sort of life you want to have. Generally speaking, people think of an annual salary as a end in itself, when it is really a means to an end. For example, if you are living in a small town and

Interesting. How did you deal with this? What was your pricing model? If you're willing to share, I'd be curious. We basically deal with this objection/request in two ways: (1) use the one-click survey as an entry-point into

Just to clarify, the 15% to 25% range applies to almost any one-click survey we run. Not just ones that have an incentive.

Very interesting idea! We'll get back to you on that -- it would be a big shift from our regular approach/work, but I can see some companies willing to do this, especially those already selling ads on their newsletter e-mails.

Not sure where you're getting those numbers. Tableau is pulling in well over $600M in revenue, and Hortonworks is over $100M, according to their public financials.

The way these are described in Seveneves is awesome . I didn't realize there's so much theory behind it!

I will say that I have actually been in this situation and have chosen to be transparent with our employees. It was really, really hard but it was also the right thing to do, in my mind. Thanks for the comment about board support, harryh. T

Do you warn employees and possibly risk losing those with a low risk tolerance? Or do you hide this from them and lay them off with the legally minimum notice and possibly no safety net? I prefer to be a leader that promotes respect and car

400 employees will mean I still have a spreadsheet that tracks my cashflows and ensures I run a regular town hall to inform employees where we are. At what point does one not have such a spreadsheet/dashboard/report? Heck, a 4

"Oops, burn!" is not an excuse. Keeping silent without telling your employees is not an excuse, either. There's a reason so many investors and employees try to promote a culture of transparency at a company... Because to do a

Thank you for writing this. As a startup CEO with 12 employees, I have a daily reminder of how much cash is in the bank. It is absolutely unacceptable and ridiculous for a CEO to mismanage a company and then write a blog post saying "O

Point #6 puts the entire article into doubt in my eyes. Getting "good" at "startups" is a skill in and of itself. The ability to start and manage a small organization is an immensely valuable skill set and one that I wou

Hmm... You're just getting me thinking now: if we get sophisticated enough to travel hundreds/thousands of light years, etc... Then wouldn't it also stand to reason that we wouldn't even need to find planets, but rather

Regarding the interstellar space colonization question -- ultimately it's a question of whether we want our species to survive. In a billion years, the Earth will be swallowed up by the Sun's expanding size, and certainly will be

This assumes we won't find a viable alternative. I really like Interstellar for this reason -- I can see us sending x ships to x planetary systems with the understanding that all but one of those ships will likely perish for a greater

Here are the ones I'm thinking about quite a bit when I think about the long-term viability of our species or society-as-we-know-it. (1) Food security. Not many people talk about the fragile system that supports our ability to stay nou

One of the precursors to this type of programming was Church ( http://projects.csail.mit.edu/church/wiki/Church ), a Scheme-based probabilistic programming language. I guess they're separating from said Church?
