I'm married to a working comedian and know many. Everybody sucks when they start, and open mics are kind of built for people, even pros, to bomb at as they develop material. The people who seem "effortlessly funny" often work

Interesting to see that Amazon has a large focus on UX Design, which Grow.google also emphasizes. I interpret that as a signal that both of these companies see a gap there, although a hard one to train (or, harder to train than basic IT ski

If it's being covered up why have NY Times, New Yorker, etc. covered this extensively with quotes from the alleged victims?

You’re absolutely right. One of the affected people claimed in an article that I read that they were attacked in the street in the middle of DC. If this tech exists and is really so portable, seems like you could do a lot more damage than j

While this article spends a lot of time talking about tech companies using “network effects” as mystification, it doesn’t really do a good job of defining or discussing network effects and seems to somewhat conflate them with platforms. Net

Sorry my original comment was unclear. I was strictly talking about traveling within America. Internationally there are huge price differences.

As a New Yorker, I have been surprised when I travel that food isn't cheaper many places... For instance, I searched "Brunch" in Google Maps for Jackson and omelette plates are $10-16 at Google's top result[1]. Labor cos

There are some pretty clear answers to the publicly traded company question. Financial statements are much more transparent and regulated, HR policies much more formal, equity awards are easier to value and sell, etc. A lot of responses see

This is really insightful. Is the product strategy problem typically a take home? In my experience, “product whiteboard” exercises have always felt like a bit of a party trick when I’ve encountered them. The discovery phase gets so truncate

Thanks for responding. Question 1 is basically how do you define impact? What does a candidate who has not made an impact (or made a negative impact) look like in an interview? The reason I ask is that it strikes me that there are so many i

How do you distinguish impact from lack of impact? And how do you validate the PM was actually responsible for that impact?

My cynical take on the "highlighting experience" section is that you should find some vanity metrics associated with your product or company and take credit for them. Which actually probably does correlate well to success in a PM

This reminds me of restaurants adopting (and then mostly abandoning) no tipping policies. You're trying to change an entire culture, good luck! "Letting that market operate efficiently and not trying to game it makes a lot of sens

Is Pareto abused? Sure. But I think "premium mediocre" is as well. Which is a shame because it's a great concept -- I'd argue it's on par with McLuhan, Warhol, and Postman's more quotable ideas. Rather than pre

It seems very misleading to include "perks" - undefined in this article - and benefits as earnings. Obviously they have an impact on comp & what taxpayers spend, but you wouldn't include it if somebody asked how much you

That seems to put a lot of faith in the claims of these systems. I get the sense that now that you can learn this stuff from the internet vs. going to live in a monastery, you get a lot more mix-n-match, even from teachers who are credentia
