This is really informative, thank you. I fit squarely into the 9 / 10 rule - I'm locating to another geo. The geo I'm presently in pays more on avg than the geo I'm moving to. So looking at Glassdoor & Angel List t

That sounds good in theory, but how do you estimate those in early stages of discussions?

Agree you got to look @ monthly. Now if you show some growth and want to calculate the growth rate, CMGR (compound monthly growth rate) is your best friend! http://www.investopedia.com/terms/c/cagr.asp Do this: 1)

Some units now are only $100ish, especially on sale :D If you have the tinkering aptitude DYI is definitely way to go. These sous vide machines are really basic components. But most people want something that works outta the box and looks

The test sounded promising vs sous vide. I demand a Pepsi challenge. I just can't believe this thing would end up as juicy being exposed to the air like that.

My feelings exactly. Right now it's Trello with a better visual design. The other features are unknown at this point.

by xivzgrev 11y ago
If your aim is to provide a better team experience than Trello, then I don't think this qualifies as a MVP. It's not clear what those features are from this summary and trying out the product, EXCEPT the look & feel. It&#x27

In terms of Medieval people hating cats, there was a proclamation from Pope Gregory the 9th in early 1200's where he issued a bull against a cult. This bull apparently included "When the meal had ended, the sect would arise and a

It's hard to take this article seriously - heavy on broad stroke attacks (it's cheaper to send to landfill) than data from third party sources. On an unrelated note if a composting facility reeks that's a management problem n

Congrats on publishing your book! I did one back a few years ago, and I know it's a ton of work but really fun / gratifying :) May I make a suggestion? In the early bird access, I would also include part of the get hands dirty.

I agree - salary is what you negotiate on and equity is gravy. I took my current offer because I was happy with salary. If equity never pans out oh well. Also to everyone else if a founder wants to pay you a lot with equity, you have to w

Show me a founder who sends emails regularly at 3am, and I'll show you someone who is scared and as result focused exclusively on short term. If your competitive advantage is working 20 hour days, you don't have much of an advant

Good points but there are also company wide reasons, namely self absorption among leadership. For example, fear. Fear of running out of money, fear of losing to competition, fear of tarnishing brand if we don't respond to this servic

I don't think it's trying to bury information. I think it's fear that people will jump to conclusion. Say you do a background check on a promising candidate and they have a felony. You may automatically pass on them. Even

I think a big reason people get into poker is Expectation of negotiation. If employee talks first, the number can only go down. If the employer talks first, the number can only go up. It's unfortunately wide spread. I wish we lived i

I've been waiting for an article like this. There really is an ethos of working yourself to death, and on surface it can make sense. If you put in 80 hours per week and your competition puts in 60, you'll win because you'll

I don't think it's baseless. The "sleight of hand" he asserts is the conscious or unconscious choice to draw conclusions from just the u3 numbers, and I agree with him. He's arguing that if we look at a single metr

I'm really surprised. G ventures puts ton of money into uber, uber makes a huge pre order for google cars, uber gets put into google maps. And now this. I guess google is like "well we got the hard part, self driving cars. Why

This sounds like a potential great way to tackle chicken egg problem in marketplaces. Single player / multiplayer is something I hadn't heard before but makes it very clear. It might not be feasible (eg what's single player

I enjoy reading how he quantifies pm fit - different people have different approaches. Another guy, can't think of his name, said 40%+ would be "very disappointed" if business shut down. Think they're all useful signals

I understand your defensiveness to his blasting, but it's feedback (although cloaked in antagonistic language). By responding you draw attention to it. I'd ignore and see if others say same thing. I do agree with him on one thin

Why do you think people have trouble breaking things down logically? I think one, emotions demand immediate action, no immediate action is apparent, more emotion. Breaking things down is a detour - if it wasn't I don't think I&#x

This is really bullish. I wonder what skin he has in game? As author states, uber can do best where owner drives fewer than 10k miles per year. What about all the rural locations, or people who like to go on long trips? And I think 50 cen

Also just to follow up on nocman, you can read "who moved the stone", where the biblical account of final hours of christs life is examined in context of what we know about the time period...does it read more like someone writing

Then wouldn't that person be a liar? All and all Jesus said he was the Lord. So I think it is actually rather tight - he was correct, he was incorrect and aware of it (liar), or he was incorrect and not aware of it (lunatic).

Exactly. This was awesome until it asked me to pay $19 without any guarantee of success. Why can't technology automate this to make your cost basically $0? Maybe right now you're doing things that don't scale...but don&#x27

I agree. I think we need to be specific about what's being measured here. Seems it'd be more helpful for backend algorithm development, less critical for front end coding. I don't think it's oop as you suggest - I saw

Yes it is algebra. Take second problem for instance. X + (x + 1) + (x+ 2) = 69. Solve for x.

Yea that was my read too. Of course you have more force on one leg - all your weight is on it and there's less forward momentum. If you could get all that force into running stance...that's like saying michael jordan has a great
