Alt account. This happened to a few companies in our batch too. It seems normal that 5-10% of companies game the character test. 100% of these companies basically end up with solo dictator CEO/founder and underperform. 100% of big comp

No. The variants are variants, not strains. It's based on gene deletes primarily. More Sneaky just means a bit less effective. Studies suggest about half as effective. So from 90% to 80% etc still highly effective.

We stopped having this issue when we raised comp 50%. Worth a shot.

Humans are adaption machines, information is only valuable to the extent that it is useful for our immediate and maybe some future higher order survival. Most isn't.

I have been thinking something similar. Certainly if budget is the defining constraint, lean makes way more sense, because it's resource to progress ratio. First principles is more about upside maximization, which benefits a lot from r

Much like starting a 'garage team' for innovation, it doesn't seem like it makes much sense to use generalist hospitals to handle extremely intense covid patient waves. It seems like field hospitals where more resilient docto

The nice thing about profoundly gifted kids is that you couldn't stop them from learning STEM topics if you wanted to. The hard thing about PG kids is that if it isn't interest led, it isn't happening. PG kids are way out ahe

People can't cope with the fact that vaccines are both 100% effective and safe for kids, and DALY wise much, much better than getting covid. Plenty of kids dying in Brazil and India to prove this is the case.

As a CEO, all my best people prefer remote, and all the stragglers who copied off of them can't wait for office. Will be leaning all the way into remote, personally.

We recently announced apolitical and it went over really well. Thankfully we have avoided the wokeness for now it seems.

If grocery store duopolies are any indication, fast follow strategy is great for when the rewards of being second significantly exceed the rewards for not being in the top two, but that's all you're going to get with fast follow.

Like a mob boss that grew up unloved by their father, they just want organic respect but see the world through zero sum eyes.

This is not true, it really is at board discretion. Generally speaking many companies hesitate to even put stock offers in writing because of stuff like this. Whether they can do it legally (they can) and whether it's okay (it's n

The only intellectually honest interpretation of this comment is that you were born outside of China and have since moved there for values reasons. Is that accurate?

It is interesting to see governments accept that a 1/700000 risk of blood clots is worse than covid for under 60s.

I have generally always liked letting customers leave. Ultimatums can easily be two way. If they threaten to quit, I can always fire them :)

Commenting from my non YC founder account, a company in our batch lied about revenue numbers and was unceremoniously dropped. No demo day, strong negative background check. So yes, demo day means something due diligence wise even beyond the
