Yea I agree with this. Ever looked at an executive calendar? All day meetings. That’s almost all they do. Relationships are critical, so of course they’d prefer in person. The problem is imposing that view on everyone, forgetting their ind

This article reminded me of a group I founded in college. I also was motivated to ensure it lived on, which it has. 4 things worked there 1) it was a group to help people get jobs, which is an ongoing market need 2) it demonstrated success

The author emphasizes context a lot. After you’ve read resources here, maybe get intros to entrepreneurs in your area who successfully built larger companies, and how they iterated. What was the context they operated in, and what’s relevan

I worked on tax software and have seen these kind of efforts. Noble, yes. Short lived, yes. It’s relatively easy to make a free 1040 file. The real problem comes from all. The. Edge. Cases. 1) do you support xyz state? 2) what if I lived in

This is one of the reasons I love Hacker News - random and interesting bits of information. I had heard of people talking to plants, their pets, etc...but apparently bees too, and particularly around deaths. Grasping at straws here, I coul

I disagree. Love language improved my relationship for the better. It gives us language and priority to things that felt important but were difficult to describe and help the other understand. To your point tho we use all the languages, an

It’s also worth mentioning that apples prompt gives no benefit to tracking. It basically just asks “Facebook wants to track you. OPT OUT, or not”. Who is going to agree to that? If Apple gave developers a way to add a benefit or two, eg pe

That’s an interesting point. Ive seen CPMs rising, almost like people were spending more, but wasn’t sure why that may be. Also the article missed a few big points. 1) There’s really not much you can do in diversifying your channel mix - th

Agreed, there are a number of counterpoints never considered. Another one: Israel population is 20x more dense than Sweden, which naturally would lead to more spread https://versus.com/en/israel-vs-sweden

I know this guy is hurt and struggling, but…this post is pretty ranty. I think the gist is 1) wife got cancer 2) he took leave to help 3) he wanted to keep supporting / get more time off 4) company didn’t accept that, and moved to ter

At last, my hours of watching lawyer TV shows comes in handy! A lawyer never assumes what the other side’s argument is, because your rebuttal hinges on exactly how their argument is constructed. Plus you don’t want to give your “opponent”

For voting, generally speaking these restrictions tend to make it harder for people who lean Democrat. There’s a good ACLU overview here: https://www.aclu.org/news/civil-liberties/block-the-vote-vot... For abortio

Honest question - in the concert ticket example, the article said that “ $50 spent on concert tickets..should not be a factor in our current decision-making” (because it’s irrecoverable). But what if you are still interested in this show? I

I recently had a trip where I made a change that made a huge difference for me and I wanted to share it here. Turn off notification previews It made a world of difference to see “gmail notification” vs “email from xyz person on xyz topic”.

At first this policy seemed kind of weird. It doesn’t actually seem tied to remote work per se, but rather distance to office. So what it seems is that google sees a lot of people wanting to work remote. With this, they say you can work rem

I see the potential. It’s radio or podcasts, but unlike those, listeners can participate. You could ask questions. It’s kind of like going to an in-person panel, but you don’t have to solely dedicate yourself to it. You could have this g

Maybe, but I would be open to seeing what insights they come up on their own. I think that's the great thing about art - there's no right way to interpret it, and I wouldn't assume that guards are only capable of appraising o

Has anyone SEEN a typical SF plot? They’re basically enough for a small 1000-2000 sq ft home, a parking spot, and a little back yard. No one ain’t building a four plex on that, unless a) the height restriction is also raised b) one parking

If you fear public speaking, you are in good company, it’s very common. Speaking is inevitable part of life. Even if you’re not giving large presentations you are speaking every day to smaller groups. If you want to improve how you feel, I

Seems like it's a self-reinforcing cycle: houses are built lower quality, people thus don't value older houses, so builders build lower quality to lower "new" cost https://www.theguardian.com/cities/

Yea me too. My biggest question is where do you get user data to run the simulation? Take the simple push example - if to date you’ve only sent pushes on day 1, and you want to explore day 2,3,4,5 etc…where does that user response data com

Many meetings only require a low level of attention. 90% is 1 or a few stakeholders discussing things, and the rest are there for occasional input. In a good chunk of my meetings I find myself actually tuning out too much, where I miss som
