Wow, this exactly how I organize my thoughts, and I've been slowly thinking about the design of this tool too. I think the most unsolved part is the layout of arrows. I've never used any drawing or flowcharting program that could

There is a very easy way to fix standups: Do them twice a week or even once a week. I've never been on a team that was so disorganized that we needed to have a standup every day. I've also never had tasks where you could always ma

There must be a million cheaper ways of drawing attention away. Here, let's come up with a couple: Musk announces that in order to help repopulate the world he's looking for 10 female "paid volunteers" to come stay in a

Twitter describes how they get the 5% number (from Matt Levine [0]). They randomly sample 100 accounts per day and have human raters decide if they're bots or not. This is the right way to validate that your fancy ML algorithms are wor

In industry you do see some decomposition into steps to solve problems, and there's lots of research papers that decompose too. It does work to solve problems, but decomposition also has major weaknesses. First, you have to come up wit

I'll throw another opinion at you. The biggest problem is that the device's box looks 3d printed, and I associate that with "hobbyist/prototype" automatically. I would also prefer to see the real device over stock a

No way buying Twitter to justify selling Tesla stock is the simplest solution. If he wanted to sell some Tesla, here's a simple way: 1) Tweet something: "Batteries are overpriced! I will start or buy a battery company, but I need

The problem is that the expected value of the equity itself is negative in the current environment. If the tradeoff were to give up some guaranteed money for a low shot at a big payoff, then that would be a reasonable tradeoff! But right no

The compensation model for pre-RSU startups is broken right now. The combination of late exits, short exercise windows, and heavy taxes on illiquid gains, means you can wind up deeply in the red as often as in the black. In my last job sear

The ratio of people I've met who've taken out a mortgage to the number who've taken out a house-sized business loan must be well above 10,000:1. It's not clear that you're arguing from any basis in reality to sugges

Yeah, Mac's UI of spaces/desktops is so busted that it usually takes me a couple tries to get the window I want. I've also watched another user lose track of every window that goes fullscreen.

This points to an IT department that has no slack. If you want to run a company that moves quickly, why would you have IT be the bottleneck? As with all the other criticism in this topic, the fault is with the execs, and not the frontline I

If someone does not meet your expectations then you can fire them. However, in my experience throwing around the word "accountable" is a clear sign of a bad leader. It's a way of shirking responsibility for the situation, and

This does not sound like a relationship that will work out. What you want and what they want do not overlap. You want partial infequent engagement while keeping your other projects going. They want a fully engaged cofounder. Neither side is

Then why is no one doing anything to support babies if we want so many? Here's how to incentivise having children: - Remove fear of healthcare costs. All children can use Medicare. Cover pregnancy too. - Stop worries about schools. Bri
