Interesting. I’ve never heard that before, but I have heard them called Einkaufspanzer (shopping tanks) several times. The implication being it’s the tank you use to do your grocery shopping in.

Common advice is you only have to be good at either hiring slowly or firing early. Google, for example, was apparently very good at hiring (slowly) - at least in their early days. So it didn't matter that they were (are?) terrible

Yep - A willingness to hire slower and fire earlier would be much better advice.

I've found it relatively easy (and very quick) to get something up and running with Firestore/Firebase and React.js.

A cynic would say that's the kind of reasoning that leads to the whole "I once knew a woman who swallowed a fly..." set of scenarios...

Not sure where you are in Europe, but in Switzerland this is perfectly legal. I was employed on a Zero-hour contract as a bartender for much of my time in higher education.

If that's your worldview, how do you feel about income tax?

I've built and sold a few companies doing enterprise sales. Now I run a small course teaching founders the basics of early stage sales. Won't plug that here, but I think you'd get a lot out of this interview I did with Stepha

Sure. They talk about physical harm and abuse in the study, and it's obviously an important factor. I haven't (and wouldn't) claim otherwise. But I was specifically asking the OP about murder because it isn't obvious

> 0.001% of US women is somewhere in the six-figures territory (125,000 per year if I do my math right) No - you're off by two orders of magnitude. Much closer to ~1500 women/year. That's still ~1500 too many, no question.

> wondering whether their sample acknowledges the disproportionate number of men who murder their ex-female-partner Curious how this is relevant to the study? Roughly 0.001% of women are killed by a male partner each year in the US and

I run Sales for Founders ( https://salesforfounders.com ) - a course where I teach (mainly technical) founders just enough about sales to find their first customers and grow to $10k MRR. Since starting work on the course in May, I

A simple answer could be opportunity costs. Lambda is oversubscribed and places are limited, so by accepting a place and then dropping out, Lambda is stuck with nearly all of the same costs as if you had completed the course, which they cou

I’m Sorry I Haven’t A Clue (the panelshow in question) is still going today! Although the original host sadly passed away a few years ago, and many of the original cast are well into their 80s...

Love what you're trying to achieve here. My main worry is how you can do this at a non-net-negative return for your fund while also not coming across as predatory to the people you're trying to help. > We often talk about ‘boot

When I read your original comment, I commented because the point I wanted to make seemed interesting (to me at least) and worth making. On re-reading, I understand how it may have come across as less of an "interesting observation&quot

I'm sure you have, and there's no doubt in my mind he deserves the backlash he's getting. Did you disagree with the point I made in some way, or was this just the most convenient outlet for some keyboard banging?

No, of course not. That's the thing about local maxima - when you're in one, it isn't obvious . Instead, the burden is on others to notice and speak up. You may not like the Nazi comparison, but it's apt... Especially w

I assume the upvoters managed to overcome the massive obstacle of clicking once to hide the advert, went on to read the article anyway, and decided it was worth even the major inconvenience of that extra click to other readers.

Why would it be a good thing to redefine "strong"? Or why do I think that's the most plausible explanation for an unlikely event?

by louisswiss 7y ago
If that's true, it'll be because the word "strong" is redefined. I'm genuinely undecided as to whether that's a good thing or not.
