I think bird fucked up in SF by not giving clear-enough guidelines to their users (or not taking it seriously enough). People just need to treat these like a bike, basically. 1) ride in the street, not on the sidewalk. The only thing that

Right. Hospitals have to deal with a mess of insurance plans. If they Underbill they only get what they bill. If they overbill there is no penalty they just get paid the allowed amount. So they jack up the prices to ensure they are always o

Yea I think live exercises are the way to go. Or hire person as contractor for a day or two. One small startup did that with me and I thought it was brilliant.

'So if someone asked “What’s your space?” and you had a deeply unfashionable job like, say, writer, it behooved you to say “I deliver eyeballs like a fucking ninja”.' LOL. I personally would rather hear someone come out and say th

Amaazon says bathroom breaks are not timed. That is probably true. But that is not what the article is alleging. Rather they need to reach a certain productivity level within a given time period, and using the bathroom counts against that a

Also the notion that only great products besides search for google came from acqusition is false. Top of my head: gmail.

There are plenty of highly talwnted people who work for existing companies vs start their own thing. The fact that big companies often acquire startups I think has less to do with caliber of talent and more the focus of that energy. You ar

I don't think there is a mass conspiracy going on. I do think there are disvirtuous circles going on. Ex one school is located in a bad area over time gets less funding, becomes less attractive, fewer people with means want to send the

A bold piece. I'm glad he was allowed to publish it.

Kind of a disvirtuous cycle isnt it? More income inequality means fewer people have more money. If you need to fundraise it would be preferable to raise from fewer than more - lower transaction costs and oversight. These private individuals

My kind of guy right here! I would love to do this. In my industry incentives were kind of challenging to work with (you can get in trouble with regulators for false advertising if you dont dutifully fulfill and audit yourself, discounting

Thank you. And yes while 26000 emails would drive me nuts lets not forget there are so many people out there it would not bother that it's actually a big 5 personality trait - conscientiousness. Those who score low or even middle may

I think you need to follow the data and see where it leads you. What happens to your metrics when you implement opt in or double opt in? Not everyone uses or perceives email (or really anything) the same.

by xivzgrev 9y ago
This is going to get me downvoted, but it needs to be said. As a marketer, I really wish people behaved logically. If they want to get emails, they opt-in, and they don't want to, they don't opt-in. That's the pervasive belie

Email is a great way to scale touch. If you're asking whether you should invest in product or email, you should probably invest in product. Do you know who your ideal customer is? Is the problem your product solves in their top 3 pri

Yea that sounds like it runs afoul of CAN-SPAM. It's supposed to be one-click away, where you can unsubscribe from all promotional emails.

Ugh I'm tired of these articles that declare SF / SV are over. This is my last rant...hopefully! They take a small group of people that actually are moving and blow it up into a trend. It's been going on for years. Yes home

I think its great VCs are expanding their worldview. I think there are definitely good investment opps outside of SV. I think its a stretch to say SV is over. Yes living expenses and salaries are crazy but there is a success network here th

You would be amazed at how much companies still value face to face collaboration even in this era of Slack etc. The salary deltas may be big yes but there's often a large premium on being in the office.

I think the methodology is flawed to mix data sources like this. They shouldve surveyed drivers on their costs too.

There are essentially two issues with ESAs - poor behavior and lying to avoid fees. For the first there should be a framework of cerification. If you want to bring an ESA it should pass third party certification with different standards for

I think we should be skeptical. That said there are some points in the article that indicate there may something more than fluff. Let the early adopters try some retrofits themselves and we shall see whether the results are there related

I, for one, welcome our new AMP overlords. As a marketer emails are really limited. This opens up possibility of higher engagement and less friction for what you want Gmail customers to do. I work for a loan company - get a rate quote IN YO

It's not all gloom and doom. Who are buying these companies? Google, facebook, amazon, Microsoft, etc. All public companies. If it's a good buy, stock appreciates immediately and in longer term.
