I think this is by design. My Subaru does this too. My feeling is that it’s an emergency feature meant to keep you on the road, not something you should rely on to steer the car completely, so they don’t want it to be too good. The quicker

This works at the more macro level too. Someone was talking about moving to SF from the Midwest and being amazed by all the fit, beautiful young professionals walking around. Yes, it’s true that driven, disciplined people are more likely to

Out of curiosity, when was the last time you used it, and who owned the environment? It can certainly be that with the wrong person in charge of it. The problem is the expectation that it’s going to function like one trick consumer tech too

I can’t help but wonder what it is about tech people that makes them so eager to expend their precious mental cycles reinventing the CRM wheel. Anything custom you could ever want to do in a CRM can be done on Salesforce’s platform with a f

If that were true, it sounds like an evolution accelerant. Jokes aside, evolution is not necessarily modern civilization, technology, and laws. Those are our creations, and psychedelics have been an active part of our arrival at them. Psych

The BBC documentary “Century of The Self” available on YouTube also highlights the ways in which everything happening at Esalen were leveraged to manufacture more consumerism. Great watch.

I’m the same way. Exercise and eating healthy just makes my body want even less sleep. When I’m firing on all cylinders, eating right and working out, I can get away with 5.5-6 and feel better than I ever do trying to push up past 7 by goin

Not everyone wants to risk their nest egg on a bootstrapped shot at success. Much better to give up 10%, keep getting a salary, and not lose everything if it fails. It’s about exporting risk.

I think it’s as simple as, VCs want to believe Founders care about the things they’re investing in heavily. The same way we would all like to think hiring is about qualifications and skills, but really it’s almost always more heavily about

If you haven’t already, stop talking about what it took to create it and start talking about how much value they’re going to get out of it. Figure out how much time / money it will save them. How much that is all worth. Tel them your s

Are you saying you act that way, or they treat you that way? People, for many reasons, automate other people in their minds. They define them, and aren’t willing to adapt their definition. They want the world to remain as they think it is,

Genuine question that might result in some interesting discussion. Is giving money to causes today, the best strategy? Would it be better to amass wealth in your own name, and then deploy it more strategically later in life? This has the ad

Facebook is definitely not a threat to Salesforce small business. Hubspot, Insightly, and other small focused offerings plus Pad of Paper and Excel are the real competition for small CRM / Marketing buyers.

That’s really not true at all. DMP was a very recent acquisition, as was Marketing Cloud and Pardot. Core Salesforce is a company data store often requiring human data input. It’s where your information goes when you fill out a “Contact us”

Same thing Salesforce is doing with Einstein right now. Means that internally, when someone says a customer wants to talk about Einstein, people are all left wondering which one.

The Subaru actually interprets this as you accelerating into a wall and takes over. You have to let off and then reapply for it to say, “ok, they clearly know something I don’t.”

The filthy parts are well known and mostly keep to themselves. The non-filthy parts are some of the most beautiful city living in the world, with outdoors access that rivals a resort town. (I lived in Park City before)

I’m all about the lean back. My chair is always positioned as low and as far back as it goes. Takes pressure off your spine. Distributes weight over the entire back rest, instead of just lightly touching it. http://www.nbcnews.co
