Oggle··on The Broken Microsoft Pact: Layoffs and Performance Management
Microsoft definitely does underpay the market significantly! Like 60% of what other companies of the same level pay, unless you're in the Copilot org. Maybe you'll get a little bit higher.
Oggle··on Companies that produce bad founders
In this video b(at 55:55) Paul Graham mentioned that alumni from certain large companies make bad founders. Anyone know the names of these companies?
Oggle··on Trending ranking. How come none take pageviews into account?
I see many of the algorithms outlined use time, votes, social influence, but nothing based on pageviews. Is there a reason for that? I mean if a site's PV is spiking, isn't that an indication that it's becoming popular? Or is voting used as a proxy for that?
Oggle··on Would you try our app for parking?
If you are aiming for the short-term customer, I doubt there will be too much demand for it.

Reasons:

1. There's too much logistics overhead. 2. People are probably in a hurry and probably won't plan ahead. Imagine you are in a rush. Can you find the spot? 3. For places where parking is in high demand, there are probably already many parking garages available. They are more expensive, but they are much simpler.

How about renting out long-term parking spots instead? Say a week or month at a time? This would target the following:

1. People who live nearby who hate hunting for parking spots all the time. 2. People who don't like parking their car out in the street, and would like a covered spot somewhere. 3. Lower logistics and coordination. Stable income for parking spot owners. Win win on both sides.
