These services are also quite successful among bars to alert them to "problem customers". Very fast growing market, unfortunately.

Lots of good advise here. One further thought I would add based on recent experience is to define. Failure at my company is running out of money. The mission is one I want to work on for a long time, so it's only failure if we run out

I have wanted to have kids since I was ten. I am in the process of having them as early as I can and will have as many as I can afford or until my wife loses interest. The main bottleneck is finding the right person for you, with shared val

I think this makes sense. Money makes it way easier to automate / hire for non-essential things. My time is basically just work, family, reading or sleep at this point. Everything else is automated or hired for.

I want webmail that is ruthlessly simple. I don't care about: flags, importance, message status, categories, conversations, etc. Just show me the sender, subject line and date and when I click it, the message. I wish there was more

Liberals are afraid of the power of the elites as a force of evil. Conservatives are afraid of the power of the masses as a force of evil. Are you sure that democracy is better for the people you consider oppressed?

People were more excited to pay $500/month when we through in a "white-label PDF quick start guide" than $300/month. Only after being beaten over the head with that request on calls did we change things, now they love it

It is amazing how irrational even smart people act about learning to read. Maybe specifically smart people. Please, read the current research. Kids learn to read best out of interest -- with reading material they are interested in and when

I notice this but with inhibition. I find I do different kinds of coding, more creative and less rigid, when I have less inhibition. Good sleep is good for rigid code, bad sleep is good for creative problem solving and inhibition. I tend to

The problem with narcissistic personality disorder is that all attention is good attention, all absence of attention is bad and drives the rage that leads to the abuse.

Unless downtime of your application results in money lost for them (as opposed to bad decision making) then I would probably say no to this. If it comes down to "Is the data science good enough?" that is basically a sales objectio

This is the worst click bait I have ever seen. Literally an advertisement for a startup with an unrelated title.

This makes sense. I would much rather have less and more positive interactions with my parents than more or more stressful ones. Some people seem to have a "my parent was never around" complex but that usually seems to involve som

Email is the greatest tool for external<>external communication ever. I hope it never goes away. The "Broken" part is usually the dread you feel when you have it on your phone and check it 300 times a day, or when you use a

I meant to add a caveat that you can also commercialize b2b if your audience is technical without sales or with much less one to one sales. Stripe has sales people but they also have a good number of people just find them and start making A

Yes. The more physical capital there is to build, maintain, secure and retire (pretty much essence of blue collar work) and the less people there are with those skills, the more wages will increase. If opposite becomes true (less physical c

In my experience, you learn useful things faster when running your own company, compared to working for someone else. Pretty much by definition, you tend to specialize when working for someone else. You can get unusually good at a certain t

The outcome of building a successful startup is wealth, which can be nice, but that is rarely the only goal. Speaking for myself, the uncertainty, stress, craftsmanship, perceived control, problem solving and creativity all make it very i

Don't cold call them. Set the calls up in the email and ask for 15-20 minutes. I would say twice a week. Probably 4-5 emails before you just say "It's clear my hypothesis is wrong. If things change I'll get back in touch

The disturbing aspect of depression treatments that "reset" things is the meaning of reset at a nervous system level. In a lot of cases, that basically means "memory smoothing" or "neuron unlearning". Imagine h

1000 emails to 10 meetings is really low conversion. It could be an issue of PMF, or who you are reaching out to, or the messaging of the emails, or a combination. I would try to find an experienced seller to partner with who can bankroll t

Sociopaths are violent, the coloquial use is actually reversed from the clinical use. Psychopaths are what most people who use "sociopath" mean. Sociopath != social psychopath. Sociopaths are 100% always violent and zero empathy.
