12 years ago OKRs were huge. And yes, you graded them, managers and other teams viewed them, and you aimed for 0.7. Recently, it was a lot more lax. Many teams didn’t do them, drifted away from them, or didn’t bother grading them

Companies are hyper focused on growth because growth is priced in to their valuation, either by VCs or the public market. Nobody wants to plunk their money into something that won’t give them a return, and non-growth businesses have to pay

I’d assume it would allow Musk to restructure Twitter along longer-term goals. My sense is that he will eventually take it public again, but it’s a hard road to make huge changes to a company’s trajectory when your “fiduciary duty” relies o

I always have heard the 90-9-1 rule. 90 lurk, 9 interact, 1 create. Not sure where I heard that though.

Unfortunately one was entirely dead by the time we moved in, and the other tree only had 5-10% of its leaves and was irreparably damaged. I don’t think the previous homeowners did a great job of identifying issues with and maintaining their

I bought a house in the northeast last winter with 2 huge ash trees in the backyard. Come early spring I noticed a woodpecker would go to town on them every morning. Closer inspection showed tons of tiny little holes throughout from Emerald

Hospitals are really there for downside mitigation and acute care, not necessarily for “recovery”. If you take that perspective, it makes a lot more sense why the lights, beeps, vital checks, loud talking in the hallway, etc all conspire to

Numbing the penis so that the man doesn’t prematurely ejaculate? That doesn’t have anything to do with pain, though. In fact, it’s denying pleasure for a bit longer to allow for greater mutual pleasure

I have to agree. I’ve eaten and cooked (tasty) Indian food for most of my life. I’m biased, but Indian cookery has some of the most diverse and flavorful vegetarian dishes of any cuisine, and as a kid, I ate mostly vegetarian. After saying

Nicotine gum isn’t “chewed” like regular gum (unless you have a huge tolerance for nicotine or want a tummy ache) —- usually you just chew it intermittently to release more nicotine and then keep it in your mouth. So while it won’t cause da

They allow certain search engines’ search-ads to pass through for a nominal fee. Those search engines happily support Eyeo because it’s easier to have a single, friendly, and known enemy that dominates the market.

Not true. I am prescribed 50,000 IU once a week by an MD. Apparently I had very low vitamin D, have darker skin, and live in a dark part of the world during winter. Which is more than was used in this experiment.

Look at Google Contributor. Users didn’t want to pay even $0.01/page, and publishers didn’t want to sign up to receive those payments. More non specifically, pubs people would pay for didn’t want to dilute their existing revenue strea

I always put some “wrap ups” in my interview. Logical points where, when they stall or give a terrible answer, you can ask, “is there anything else?”, let them say something else, and just say, “Thanks! I think that’s a great place to stop,

This article explains it somewhat [1]. Still not much more detail, but more nuance than the Reuters piece. I guess the claim was that they manipulated where bids were placed based on who had the highest bid. So that if a non Google advertis

Mandating something like an interlock would work. But false positives would be absolutely infuriating and possibly life threatening. Imagine having to call the police or similar to breathalyze or do a blood draw to then unlock your car. Jus

The most precise one I’ve ever used was the “butt gun” style, but there was a learning curve and it’s not suited to every toilet. Toto makes a nice integrated-seat one, but IMO it changes the geometry of the commode and makes doing the job

Recently I went through the trouble to create lists to use Siri to add shopping items. I say, “add mustard oil”. Siri then adds “mustard” and “oil”. No problem, I’m smart. So I create a custom word in my phone and train it on my pronunciati

Google+ was started in 2010, so Google didn’t “fore”see the problem as much as “see”. I think I banged into the 1500 (1600?) FB friend cap in 2008 or 2009 from the rampant friending, and already started reducing the number and openness of m

So I was a staunch physical control guy (drove a manual through 2016, with the first car lacking power steering), and now a Tesla owner. I thought I’d feel more strongly against the entire touch setup. And it does suck a lot and makes me ta

Imgur for a while had a hugely active Imgur base AFAIK. Folks who just went on Imgur, did things on Imgur, and added to Imgur. That was a meta layer on top of Reddit. The issue was most of those people wouldn’t pay for Imgur storage, and di

I suspect the vast majority of people who say yes will change their tune when you ask them to take out their wallets. The second issue you’ll run in to is paying publishers. It will be hard to convince that many publishers to sign up and re

I’d venture most alcoholics will admit that alcohol makes them feel physiologically better, but know that it’s a poison that they wish to rid themselves of. So the positive disposition towards the intoxicant is gallows humor — a coping mech

Because you’re you and I was basing it on working in the space 3 years ago, I admit I was wrong. But I really do want to solve this problem. Despite my mistake, the spirit of the question is unresolved — you claim that you allow publishers

Right. You’re missing my point. From the consumer side that makes sense. Very few publishers (ie those that are high quality and you’d happily spend on) are hooked up to receive funds from Brave, or will ever choose to receive funds from Br
