How do you tell if your air cleaner that you are using generates ozone?

I'm not sure who the best person to ask on this topic is, but do you have any sense for smoke prediction models? Over the weekend, I put together the resources I could find easily, but I'm wondering what, if any good prediction m

Yeah, they also should have MRId non-covid athletes to get a baseline. The entire thing is just click-bait without more details.

I read this essay in 2016, and was fortunate to have a child in late 2018. This essay had a profound impact on me, and by extension a profound impact on our son's upbringing. There are very few weekends that go by that I don't th

I’m curious, where did you encounter them?

I expected downvotes with my comment because it is counter to what most people believe and the exact opposite message that the news gives. People heavily invested in politics will write off what I said immediately without really considerin

Covid is the only destabilizing event, and it looks as though the US system of decentralization resulted in a variety of outcomes, but overall non-destabilization. Wildfires make the news bc they are inconvenient, but largely impact rural a

It could be interesting to artificially constrain the number of cars and auction the slots on a rolling 12 Month basis so that the tax payers get the full value of the licenses rather than speculators

If you picture a cap table having 3 components 1) Investor's Share 2) Founder's Share 3) Employee's Share Founders try to optimize for their own share, but investors basically destroy the employee share to get founders to agr

There are so many VCs now, and all of them are looking for an edge. There is an obvious edge in building a term-sheet that creates a full ratchet for the employee stock option plan at 10%, where each employee earns points toward the total

I left the comment partially to see if anyone countered it. I wonder if the better solution would be to tip it on a 45 degree angle. If it melts, it will now be flat with gravity. No coin required

There is a good trick to use if you leave on vacation (or for monitoring breast milk for those new parents). You can freeze a cup of water, and throw a coin on top. If your freezer melts at any point, the coin will be at the bottom, not t

At a minimum, there should be a blind test jury in cases with over a 1 year penalty. Would give us useful data, and valid reason to appeal the case.

If you apply an age distribution it makes sense. As people get too old to care for themselves, this is common, and they have a lot of assets.

Ah, I always wondered why that worked. I fought against it for a while, then started using that method out of laziness, but it works so well, I don’t use another method now.

There is a myth that administrators drive up the cost of colleges. The truth is that overall university headcount, including administrators, professors, etc. have all increased, and the costs along with that headcount has as well. The rapi

That is a great comparison. I actually got bad advice like this when I started a company 6 or so years ago. I spent way too much time learning stuff that was not important to get results. Now I focus on the basic stuff first, and it works

I downplayed the value of the P&L, but your right. If the person ultimately wants to get to a CTO role, I imagine the P&L becomes more important overtime. Knowing when to back a project may come down to knowing whether it impacts

People are too quick to recommend accounting and finance books. Or... recommend super complex material because they think the subject is complex. If his/her goal is to learn what it takes to be more effective at the finance piece, they

CTOs at most Fortune 500 companies do not need a strong working knowledge of double entry accounting beyond accruals and capex and how it depreciates. You can be ahead of most technology peers by simply knowing the basics of accrual accoun

The most underrated type of privilege is location privilege. If you grow up far away from a major city, you have to invest heavily to break-in. One false move and everything you worked to establish gets wiped away. People growing up in Om

I respectfully disagree. Founders blame the macro, but that blame is very often misplaced. Even at massive scale, similar business diverge in profitability due to strategy decisions during all market conditions, including pandemics and oth

It’s a reasonable idea, but would make a lot more sense for employees. While outside forces impact companies, founders and executives are responsible for outcomes. Employees have little individual power to impact strategy and are more like

I haven't been there, (maybe someone who has can comment?), but I would expect you need the positive diagnosis for evaluating COVID19 treatment options for your kid. Or, at the minimum, I would expect the DR. to push you to have them

Another explanation, if I am sick, I will get tested first before making my kid go through that. If I test positive, only then will I test my child. If I test negative and we are both sick, I will presume we caught something else.

That is what underlies my point. Basically, I don’t think we can say that Europe or the northern US has this beat yet. It doesn’t. Once winter comes again, we get the real numbers.
