I was in this exact situation last weekend. 3% battery, lost a couple drivers to cancellation (going Marina to Marin), and thought I was done for. Would’ve paid any price, but what they were quoting me felt incredibly reasonable the entire

I think it’s a bit of a choice, but also a result of tech workers definitionally being higher leverage employees. I worked at a giant employer in SF with a tall tower, and I had plenty of periods where I had to grind 12+ hours a day to perf

As an American who worked in London and at a London company, London pay is always crazy low compared to what I’d expect.

I’m interested in what these things do better than Salesforce, which is incredibly powerful Apps for gaps foothold, and allows both code and no code development. I suspect the answer is that they don’t require you to buy seats for all the u

Feels boastful and insensitive in the current climate —- I’m guilty of worrying that it can make people in my circle who aren’t doing so well feel worse. Maybe that’s patronizing and not giving other individuals enough credit. Thinking on m

Purchases can be made on expectations of returns based on comparable properties, or prices may be assumed based on other filled units. Filling at a lower rate definitively lowers those expectations. On a 30 year model, small fluctuations ha

Consulting straight out of school is a really tough sell. Consultants are most often considered valuable by their employers because of their experience in a given industry. I would not want to try to pitch myself as a consultant as a foreig

Fair point. I should’ve said relatively financially stable (which often translates to feeling poor with a certain crowd - often a point of disagreement between husband and wife) versus abundantly rich. Funny enough, thinking more, the abund

Mental lightness. Not sweating certain stuff in the same way. Less unproductive dwelling. All things I experienced after a trip that would account for that.

This happened in my (31yo) beard, which allowed me to watch it shift grey and back in a short time, and it absolutely coincided with ~3 months of work where I was killing myself, and went away when I took 2 steps back and resumed riding my

It’s talked about in small circles, but not broadly. Anecdotally, my wife and one of her friends are the only people I know who quickly conceived and had a child without issue over 30. My very close friend and his wife gave up after years o

I’m sure there will still be a good number of people wearing them places like stores for a while, since we get so many tourists. I’d bet people continue to think, “why not?”, while it’s still spreading. Most people spend 99% of their time w

They’ve done studies, and parents are dramatically happier than non-parents after the teenage years (when the kids leave). It’s a long term investment that pays dividends when you have nothing else you want to do with your life, but chill w

I think someone like Derek Sivers (maybe not actually him) talked about doing this. From what I remember, it was quite painful finding one who would agree to it, and was probably only possible because it was a stand out property. This would

Narrowing into a business / software delivery context is hardly addressing the objection.

I would imagine snagging it on things, having it drop down due to a big impact and getting tangled in your pedals, or potential impact with your heels since feet are more active on MTBs.

This is a huge one, which won’t work in the best startups, but is a great strategy for someone trying to break in —- leverage a position at a cool tech, bad market fit, middling or even failing startup. When my Mountain View startup disband

Grab anyone else in this thread interested, and pitch it to Wyze as a new product division. Granted, their products aren’t dumb, but they seem to be very consumer and quality focused. I have loved everything they’ve done.

I’m much more willing to accept this corollary with Aliens than Bigfoot. Two very different topics.

That’s the point though, isn’t it? Many people have devoted their entire lives to “exploring the options” and still come up with basically nothing.

It feels more likely that Apple disallowed their other classes (since Apple has their own offering) than Peloton decided to disable some tracking, but not all tracking.

My point is that they can, to a degree. The bigger challenge for them is scaling in and out of the size of positions they need to be in to be profitable. If you’re playing with thousands, you’re playing a completely different game than some
