Sounds like you could do that with a join. If you post a simple example I'm sure there would be a race to figure out an answer!

There's some potentially interesting data here but I found it disappointing that this article was mainly showing averages. I'd love to learn what distinguishes the most productive folks from the average. Are they more consistent?

You might be able to collect a few wads of cash from finance firms who want a cooler-looking Bloomberg terminal, but I doubt this strategy could actually displace Bloomberg unless there's a technological edge that (1) delivers real, on

There are two reasons why the field is focused on gaming and not productivity: fidelity and familiarity. It's hard to build high-enough fidelity into the hardware at a reasonable price point. And even if you did make VR goggles that we

Thanks for the response and good luck. I can see why you'd want people with internal motivation, especially with a health intervention that isn't a drug or medical service. It's incredibly hard to capture value in health if y

Talk more. You guys should both be giving honest feedback to each other. Figure out how you can do more of that in a way that strengthens the relationship, by communicating both respect (you clearly believe he can be valuable in areas other

Are you trying to build a company? There are many initiatives in this space. Not to say there isn't room for a new one, but you should have a theory of how you're different. I haven't studied the space in a while but http:&#

The reason to be skeptical of the "shining success story" ideal is the underlying, incorrect assumption that success is about being free of faults. Success is about achievement far in excess of the average. When a change is massiv

This seems like a pretty strong example in favor of the idea that the SEC doesn't need to do much to protect investors in private companies, because they tend to be more sophisticated (better at protecting themselves).

I've used emacs for about... gosh, 18 years now since I first learned it in 1999 in my high school AP CS class. I'd say the main benefits of learning emacs or vim today are: 1. Exposure to the history of systems they embody. 2. Ex

Maybe. But in many cases it's not a deliberate choice about motivating user behavior, it's about satisfying some highly-paid person's idea of how their business is special so the design must also be special. OR they really ha

There's an interesting argument that index investing helps take the dumber investors away from active investing, making the animal spirits smarter on average.

Good point. You should probably incorporate once you hit, say, the 10 million user mark. ;)

This. Getting real customers is so, so much more important than incorporating. Not only that, it's more important than building the full product. It's also hard, so hard that you should be doggedly single-minded about it. If you&#

Because an improved theoretical understanding of how complex systems work can be incredibly valuable. Anesthesia is a good example - we get a lot of value from it, yes, but it would be way better if we could tailor dosages to individuals ba

Good point. The intention (in my post and presumably the ones I referenced) is that the financial advisor should be paid only a fixed fee by her client and not be biased like a commissioned salesperson.
