Id consider offering more in free trial. AI is still nascent people need to figure out how it’s valuable to them. Plus AI can be rife with errors. How do you give potential customers enough data for them to figure out whether it’s reliable

There will be a crash as with any hype cycle But this is normal. A new thing is discovered, the market runs lots of tests to discover where it works / doesn’t, there’s a crash, valid use cases are found / scaled and the market mat

The article focuses on wages outpacing inflation as solution. But why is no one focusing on why food prices are still increasing so much? We're long past shortages of COVID. It seems there has been an unchecked rise in food supplier o

I mean, it’s a symptom of scale right? When you deal with a wide variety of people, constraints, etc you develop processes to deliver output. The DMV is that way for a reason, sidewalks get made a particular way for a reason And that’s that

I turned out OK in public school, but I was held back at different points, particularly in math, because I (and a few others) were too far ahead of the other kids. We literally had to repeat an entire year of content at one point. Kudos to

I attended a corporate training on harassment where it said you can’t say “all hands” because it’s disrespectful toward people without hands. Use “town hall” instead. On one hand, sure it’s an easy substitution to make. On the other hand, w

Oh man that is wild. As soon as I added subway surfer, it became so much easier to keep clicking the simulation button. I was watching that random video and don’t even notice I keep clicking.

The youngest working generation doesn’t see the value of middle managers. Imagine that. Experience is a wise teacher.

This was fun. Personally I liked sabian more, the cymbals sounded brighter and bolder to me. Zildjians were more dull - maybe the ones I used in school band / drum instructors were so old!

I’m surprised this article merits 700+ comments. Why y’all engage with such drivel? It’s well established that disruptive technologies don’t appear to have any serious applications, at first. But they get better and better, and eventually t

How is this only coming to light now? Given the pervasiveness of this I'm surprised there wasn't a single tip that the media could've picked up on. Or maybe there was, and they suppressed it.

It's political doublespeak, meant to appeal to people's preferences. If you take 100 random Trumpers, and ask them the below, you'd likely get yes for each one. but you can obviously see how they contradict each other. so y

This was a strange sentence: “Two such expenditures — Social Security and Medicare — are directed towards the care of the elderly.” Erhm no? They are directed toward living expenses and medical expenses, both of which are huge. Some % may

The US Fed came out with a stat a few years ago that 40% of Americans wouldn’t have cash to cover a $400 emergency: they’d have to sell something, borrow, or other. That’s pretty much paycheck to paycheck if your savings are that low.

No it has nothing to do with location and everything to do with price. If large companies are allowed to flex their purchasing power then people go where the cheaper prices are. But there are limits, people only drive so far. So once a big

I don't see the long term vision for Uber rides. Waymo and their ilk are already here, with three primary friction points 1) building trust & abundance of caution - this will continue to compound and at some point it will reach a t

curious how the human intervention worked? is there a risk of bias? when VCs make decisions, there is no hindsight. but when you ask humans to evaluate predictions, you necessarily are using past (training) data and the humans may recogni

There’s a simple reason there’s so much SEO spam: Adsense. Maximizing ad profit on search traffic necessitates more paid ads, both on search results page and the web pages. They won’t say that directly of course but that’s what we’ve seen

It’s amazing what penalties can do Can spam provides for up to $50k PER EMAIL in civil penalties. If you make 1 cent or $10 per email, doesn’t matter. It’s no where close to that level of penalty. So you make damn sure you don’t ruin yours
