Yup i stopped at same point. I'd add a point. It's also because young people don't fully grasp the cost / benefit analysis - they don't know the pain, and they don't know how to develop & implement the sol

Yea like what does a score of 80 mean? Maybe company A really values free spirited people, a bunch of people rate them highly because of that, but the reader doesn't like that. How can you make the scores more relevant to a new visito

network. their whole value is they (and their contacts) know more talented people than you (and your contacts). if they don't, then you're paying for a glorified scheduler / Linkedin message sender.

What assumptions / observations underpin your conclusion that "The dating situation is so bad for single men in their early to mid twenties on the west coast"?

by xivzgrev 13y ago
Humor is all this is. Open question: where do men here in SF try to meet women? As a man, I have yet to see such a lack of single women in the city that would necessitate a project like this, even when I was dating around for 9 months. Me t

Wow. This is a really interesting article, probably the most I've seen for a while on here (guess you can see what I value). I've been on both sides of this issue. Thanks for the post.

I played the bomb game - love the squeaky voices. Because their voices are so weak but short-lasting, I feel superior but not awful. Nice subtle psychological manipulation for increased engagement :).

To be fair, in your kid example, the kid IS feeling a pain NOW: low confidence, and muscles will help him build that. I think anything forward looking is seeking to solve: 1) things that are painful now but current execution on technology i

"So what do you do, Mr. Levie? You help businesses sync files locally across computers for quicker access? Sounds like a feature Sharepoint will add to its roadmap, removing the need for your business."

I'm president of local Toastmasters club in SF - I strongly agree with this comment ;). But seriously, it's a very supportive environment and you get great, actionable feedback on every speech. Really fast way to develop yourself

Why is North Korea such a hot topic these days? Is the US so free of problems, and other countries so free of human tragedies, that we can focus A LOT of our attention on North Korea? I honestly think it's because North Korea is the e

Very cool. It'd be interesting to see some kind of influence ratio, such as karma / # of posts, or date joined. Wonder if the pool is made most of older loyalists or newer upstarts? Seems like people who have been hanging around

I really like the organic approach you've taken here. Just let things evolve, see where they go, and make the best decision you can at that point in time. Also, Claire was friend of friend of mine in college, and I'm very excited

I feel sad reading this. I'm happy that they left him alive though and with no permanent injuries (what if you were left paralyzed?). Also that he learned his lesson. As for the other commenters here, have you never done anything stu

Overall just seems like the Netherlands are progressive on so many topics - see them all the time in the news. Now if you can just get rid of the cold, maybe I'd move there..;)

Yea, definitely agree way to go is managing by tasks not time. But then do you find games emerge? For example, do devs sandbag their time estimates so they only get 2 tasks instead of 3 tasks? And what happened when you needed 50 tasks don

Totally agree that article is talking about creative workers. But the factory example is concrete and great for a basic discussion on the question of "why the hell are we working so much when productivity has increased". And comp

I agree, but man would it be tough for a company to offer this. As CEO you have shareholders, competitors, customers, blah blah blah all expecting growth or seeking to take your growth. So to do this, either a) everyone works more efficien

Unfortunately capitalism gets in the way. Suppose you're a factory owner with 4 workers working 40 hours per week. You invest in a new machine that lets everyone be twice as productive. If you don't have demand for the extra out

Tough to say whether you're in odd minority. As I suggested above, I think market is splitting between riders who want a quiet/professional ride, and a fun/engaging ride. Uber is clearly leader in first, and Lyft is clearly

Uber black or UberX? UberX would be the fair comparable to Lyft.

by xivzgrev 13y ago
It's a fair point. I think you'd have to segment labor market a little more, by personality (silent & professional/fun & engaging). My thought is that Lyft does well with the second type, and Uber is recognizing valu

Side note: I find Lyft to be cheaper on whole in San Francisco. So it's good conversation plus less money for me.

It's a fair question, and I think we all need to strike that balance. Spend 100% of time with family, and you cease to be your own person, your identity linked with theirs. Spend no time with your family, and you're filled with r
