Reading Bad Blood at the moment and this post immediately made me think of it. Obviously Tesla has already released products that work etc. and I have no clue whether who is in the right here but it's not often we have high profile tech companies suing employees like this.

Welcome to Chicago. Also not a dev, looking for an interesting challenge to throw myself into. Built a few side projects, vc by day, mattmg83.guthub.io

PM if interested to meet people in Chicago (trying to do a monthly group happy hour thing)

I see twitter as a good personal bookmarking tool that's exposed to the world. I use it for myself but also hope once in a while a client or employer sees my profile and thinks my view of the world and what I read is interesting. So not personal branding in the sense of growing my brand but more so in the sense of having of track record of my authentic interests, ideas, and shares.

From the text itself, in the words of Lou Gerstner. "You always get more of what you measure" could be the root of a solution.

I think that's the idea behind the Gross National Happiness. You find a metric that mostly fits in with the capitalist model but has fewer negative externalities.

Great read in any case.

I'm a meat eater that's being won over by Impossible Burger. I could seriously consider going entirely meat free if a few other meat and fish alternatives came about that are as good.

Nextdoor does postcard based verification so you know people are in your neighborhood. There is still some name calling, but no bots or pure trolls.

The book "moonwalking with Einstein" is about this very concept and how it's used in memory competitions

Related concepts, in the Netherlands they taught everyone to open their car door with the right hand, which makes your head turn and improves odds of spotting a cyclist.

That's the best phrasing I've read that reconciles these two beliefs (easier to build + saturation). Nicely and simply put.

I believe you're correct. Also, we've been churning out CS graduates and coding bootcamp graduates like crazy, so the bottom of the labor market is the only place where supply may meet or exceed demand, while the top (highly experienced) is still a pretty thin pool (relatively speaking)

As a frequent long flight traveler I have range anxiety on my wireless headphones. I like the 3.5mm jack guarantees me one less device or peripheral to worry about, it just works (even if the noise cancellation may stop working when the battery dies, sound still goes through)

In my fund we do, even our CEO reminds us that it’s ok some of our bets will fail, but the rest of the organization is a bit less in tune and thinks we just are a new stage to the M&A process

Not OP but I had a panic attack one day (first ever) and that spiraled into 6 months of general and often debilitating anxiety.

Talk therapy and meditation (suggested by my therapist) helped reset me to my pre-attack normal.

I do it occasionally now and like others have said it helps break the rut of rumination.

I used it (a year later than I was expecting) and it was so bad it was worthless. I brought in with low expectations and it didn't even meet them. It was slow, unresponsive and cranked out sites 10x worse than you could do in squarespace or wix if you invested 20 minutes or bought a template

Knightscope is on its way to unicorndom, I believe, but overall I'd say robots tend to be fairly specialized and therefore each go after smaller TAM than most of unicorns out there today, many of which are agnostic to their customers industry.

The entire TIC industry (I work for Underwriters Laboratories) does just that, we independently test and certify and then audit the factories to make sure it’s still made the same way as the original sample. Problem is... people counterfeit our certificates, and some retailers don’t care much

I will give it a try, glad to see a new approach.

Actually Canvas by Ford (month to month car rental) does this, but yes it's rare
