There was a window of time in which marketing execs designed promotions without testing the mechanic...the "Hoover flights to the USA promotion" that ran in the UK in the 90s was similarly gamed and resulted in Hoover UK entering

400M WR is 43.03 vs 800M WR is 1 min 40.91..at 400M pace the WR would be 1 min 26...the 15sec difference is due to the physique of runners optimized for different distances.

I dont think a 400M runner can keep up the same pace over 800M because of the oxygen debt that builds up in the muscles. So you cant just double their 400M time to get their expected 800M time.

Ask HN: Over what distances are 800M runners competitive with 400M runners?

This is us! I couldn't learn the rules of the game "how to raise from VC funds" so we built profitable scalable software-led business...took us a few pivots but here we are.

A US pint is 16 fl Oz vs a UK pint which is 20 fl Oz, so add 25% to the US price to do a like-for-like.

On the very first day of the shut down in San Francisco, my wife looked at me in such a way as to suggest there was absolutely 0% chance of me working from home, ever. I went back to the office one hour later...

This applies to all SPACs not just EV SPACs. In the traditional IPO route the underwriting firm will have performed some due diligence - from a reputational risk standpoint. Without that element, SPACs were always going to be attractive to

I think about reduction in volume rather than reduction in weight as a goal. Burning fat will reduce your volume but adding muscle will increase your weight (potentially).

I have spent a few $00 possible $000 on Google Ads and had nothing to show from it. Lots of traffic no sign ups. I then emailed a list and got a 4% conversion, so it isnt the product, it must be the targetting. As Bob Hoffman (a contrarian
