I agree but I think it has to do with credibility and authoritative sources that used to be credible within some reason no longer being so. I remember watching one of those movies like Zeitgeist 15 years ago (but it was about physics) and b

I agree with both of you. You're absolutely right that effective salespeople are fantastic story tellers. They are also fantastic at reacting to the subtle and overt signals the buyer is giving off. I struggle to see an Enterprise sale

I meant to escape on the Dinghy with my brother.

I would have had my brother dinghy out to me one of the passes.... I guess though since this is in a major shipping lane you'd probably get taken out by a ship.

Lots of good advice in the thread -- I'll take a different angle on it. There is and should be a difference in the way you communicate with your family and friends and coworkers, however, I think basically all people draw that line too

Because we need myths, stories and institutions to keep alive and have everyone agree on the 'legends' we've made up in the world. https://erenow.net/common/sapiensbriefhistory/8.php

My workflow of slicing and printing is totally separated. I do my slicing on my main computer and save the stl to a network drive with organized folders for filament types and dates. Then I can print whenever I want from anywhere through oc

You could use the same argument for snake oil, which I think is pretty universally not accepted as moral.

This is awesome thanks for posting. I managed to make some mean cartoon videos for some friends.

Yeah that's a good insight. It is more like its own os than a pipe in a system, though you could use it that way too. I've fallen in love with elisp and tools like org. Take a look at doom emacs and oxhugo package if you want to t

Awesome work! Mouseless is a deep passion of mine though I've never gone all the way like you have here. Will definitely take a look. Have you ever used emacs? I am a relatively new user and longtime vim user and curious to get your th

They were saying the instacart shoppers who shop for other people are not in a warehouse setting but in the actual retail grocery store.

Yes, it's like that. You have to move deals through many stages. There's expectations of timing into each stage in addition to quota. Most places will fire even senior sales people if they don't perform for a few quarters.

They do treat sales people that way. Sales is ruthlessly managed and expectations are very important, especially at a public company.

Interesting article. I know the big CPGs have been challenged by digitally native brands like harrys and the shave companies. It's also clearly not true if you're not a globally known brand with a lot of monopolies. I wonder if it

That's rough. I got a phishing email from my CEO asking about something similar with money and had a brief 'oh shit' chain of command moment before my incredulousness kicked in. I get it.

This reminds me of how if you ask almost anyone if marketing works on them, they'll say no or not the deceptive parts. Yet, logically, marketing must work on most people or Coke wouldn't spend 4 billion dollars a year on it. Feels

As I learned at my first company when we were sued for (bogus) anti trust reasons -- You do not need to actually be a monopoly to run afoul of anti trust laws. You only need the speak and act with the intent to do so. Using your market shar

But if they are people they can also lobby in their interests. I have 24 hours a day to do everything in my life. How many hours does Exxon have a day to lobby the government with?

If you have a family, you flee. If you are willing to commit, you infiltrate and sabotage. Once the mass turns, as described in the article, you have to subvert or you may as well just get out.

How do you have the assumption chances of achieving a higher max are low? That seems arbitrary and like it'd be a coin flip as I don't know all the possible successes in the world and how they compare to mine.
