PeterTMayer··on Hip tech startup Uber ditches hip tech startup Slack
Yet both get some free publicity from this.
PeterTMayer··on What is your story of finding your cofounder, tech or non-tech?
If I were you I would contact people enrolled in current MBA courses. Is it just an idea or you got deeper into it?
PeterTMayer··on What is your story of finding your cofounder, tech or non-tech?
I am not pitching here, just curious about how and where others have found their cofounders.
PeterTMayer··on Finnish Filmmakers Gave a Drone a Chainsaw
It is a dangerous experiment. Luckily it only hurt a snowman. :)
PeterTMayer··on Forget unicorns, investors are looking for 'cockroach' startups now
Interesting article. What is funny is that Kevin in SharkTank defines almost every second entrepreneur a cockroach and here according to this article it is actually a good thing.
PeterTMayer··on Which dating apps are winning the hearts of the world?
We are the same generation then. :) The Old People.
PeterTMayer··on Which dating apps are winning the hearts of the world?
Thanks. You just put me in the old category. :) I am "only" 38, turning 39 next month.

And Match.com owns these places. :)
PeterTMayer··on Overworked? Good habits, not holidays, are the answer
Learning to escape is part of the mental chess, what jiu jitsu is. Many people bring a bunch of sacrifices for the love the gentle art. :)

:) That was funny, you made my day.

With technology, the cultural gap between generations widens, but the time gap between generation ages actually shrinks. Every generation has their own technology and apps and I think it is fine. You, being 22, might not even use Facebook at all, whereas I, being 38, still use it, so I feel "aged-out" versus you. :) The problem with some of these new apps is the loss of "real" human connections. Like this girl said she almost does not even pay attention to her snaps because she gets so many. She just responds. What is the point of that? It seems it is more important for her to get high scores to show she is popular than the actual interaction. This might create some social and psychological problems for her later in life. At least this is my humble opinion. Full disclaimer: I am working on a social app too, but opposite of these current alternatives, we are focusing on the "real" part, the non-idealized part of human interaction.

Only in Mother Russia... :)
PeterTMayer··on Overworked? Good habits, not holidays, are the answer
You might get better organized daily and find a good hobby but vacations are important, especially if you spend it with some traveling. A good hobby I recommend everyone that will help you totally tune out from your work is jiu jitsu.

Do older people use Tinder as well?
