Oh sorry I meant within chains. ie the sketchy Safeway near me is the same price as the Safeway in the more posh part of town. My thinking is this data would be useful at the store level, but at the city or region level there are much easie

Is there a citation for this? TBH it sounds like a just so story - in my experience, grocery store prices in a city are pretty uniform.

I don't think documentation is a problem with a technical solution - it's an organizational commitment and incentives problem.

Agree that hiring is sure important, but I think as long as hiring is competitive, and most candidates are bad at writing, then compromises are almost inevitable?

Sounds like this works great for them, and an awesome environment to be a part of. However I'd be very curious to see how this evolves as the company grows. Personally, I am skeptical that this is sustainable in the long term. In my ex

Well the most plausible path to salvation is probably to issue a shitcoin that he can pump and dump a shitcoin, so I don't think that will have much salience to the rest of the industry.... That said, I do think it's very likely t

Agree that while "they got swept up in the moment" is a reasonable theory (Hanlon's razor and what not), it also seem very plausible that they knew it was risky but not how risky, and felt like there was still a positive expe

Was there any other company doing real time collaboration in 2008 (when Evernote launched)? IIRC that predates even Google docs, so I wouldn't consider that snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

A general rule in the US, not in tech. If you look at most tech salary data points[1], equity and bonuses will often be an additional 50%-70%. Your estimate[2] likely only factors in the cost of benefits and employment taxes. [1] https:&#x
