Care to share which ones?

I'm really rooting for your company Rob. Your lean approach to execution and keeping focused on what matters really give me hope you'll be successful.

I'm curious about this; it seems super useful. Can you send me an email; it's my username, minus the numbers, at gmail. Thanks!

My partner works in the healthcare industry; the Radonda Vaught ruling and outcomes are going to echo through that industry in a very significant way.

Yes. The problem needs to be pervasive, painful, and willing to pay to fix it.

A few things; 1. There's no good onpage stuff to tell google that this is an appropriate word for it. 2. Based on page speed probably wouldn't rank well compared to others 3. As you noted, links.

The way many handle this is you get X requests a day for new things, revisions, etc.

“ People always ask, well why didn't somebody do this before? The reality is there's so much money there, it's hard not to be greedy," Mr. Cuban said on the podcast. "If you get to any scale at all, those PBMs will start throwing money at you and saying, 'Look, just play the game.'" - Isnt this price fixing? AKA an illegal activity in the States?

In 2001 I flew across the world to see this painting. Got lost in the museum trying to find it and came in through a side door. Upon seeing it, I needed a seat, there conveniently was one.

The in person experience was so different than seeing this online because of the scale and detail.

Who would someone speak with about licensing things made using waifu? My email contact is in my profile...

Yes, you don't negotiate from a discount. By putting this on there you're showing that they are already getting a discount; when they ask for more you'll be able to highlight the stuff you've already done for free.

This place is ~200 feet from right where I’m sitting. They have an interesting take on several things.

The first tip - Weighted Shortest Job First/WSJF) is such a great tool. It's easy to get caught up in the middle ground. Sometimes those easy wins get lost in the mix if you're not disciplined about this.

What year? Would love to have that data point, or an aproximation.

I really enjoyed Prometheus's launch discussion here on HN. I've followed them on a regular basis because I believe in their vision and mission largely because of Rob's responses here on HN. I'm glad to see they've got funding for the next steps to start scaling.

"The general public has a very hard time rationalizing and making decisions based on risk assessments. People get nervous on US commercial air carriers even though this is by all measures currently the safest form of transport in the history of transportation. Literally safer than walking down the street."

I've thought about this a lot; for me, it's not the mortality rate that bothers me the most.

It's the method of passing. Having been in a plane experiencing a serious issue it was a lot scarier because of the duration than the traffic accidents I've seen which were basically over immediately.

Marketing moves all deals forward. Sales moves specific ones forward.

Qualification is > 50% of sales for a market. https://www.ftc.gov/tips-advice/competition-guidance/guide-a...

They are estimated to be at 50% https://www.statista.com/statistics/788109/amazon-retail-mar...

IIRC - actions have been taken for as low as 40% (although this would be from classes in 2006-2008).

We had a term in the Airborne community called "Little Groups of Paratroopers"; frequently you'd be split up from your direct team but would find small groups of others scattered across the drop zone. We'd work off of "Commanders Intent" which was the goal or mission that needed to be done.

There would be a plan to accomplish that goal, but it was pragmatic in that if we knew what good looked like, constant management wasn't needed for motivated troops.

You see a similar thing in Pragmatic Marketing's "Enlightened Teams" and other frameworks.

I dont have empirical data to back it up, but I believe that you get the results because of all the small things that teams take to get to good because of that higher level objective. I think Ben Horowitz's talk about these small here is golden: https://a16z.com/2011/11/13/lead-bullets/

I've done millions in ecommerce sales for products I've created. My wife is an avid rock climber who hangs out with other rock climbers.

I started out putting computers together from parts in the 90's and sales wasn't an easy thing for me to do, would love to help.

Take 77 off my username and add gmail and you can reach me there.

Ripeness of ideas and problems is important; frequently it's hard to tell if they are ripe or not. Attack a problem a decade early and you might be GO, a decade later and you might be Apple.

You've had a bad day, don't worry. Your customers <3 you.

I feel like we've lost sight of the fact that we're trying to vaccinate as many people as possible as soon as possible.

"Obviously actual terrorist group sites can and should be taken down, but this feels more murky than that."

§ 2384. According to the statutory definition of sedition, it is a crime for two or more people within the jurisdiction of the United States: ... To oppose by force the authority of the United States government; to prevent, hinder, or delay by force the execution of any law of the United States; or.

Terrorists.

This means that your cost of sales is high; not tens of dollars, but potentially thousands or tens of thousands.

Seconding this book. I took grad school level negotiation classes and this book added as much or more value when I've negotiated for pricing, salary, etc.

A few weeks ago we drove from Hendersonville, NC (by Asheville) down through South Carolina and Georgia. We were the only folks in gas stations wearing masks, and received a few chuckles when people saw us wearing them. Your comment of feeling like an outsider alien really resonates.

Thanks. Using a Katadyn myself; it has an adjustable float and that thread attachment is a lifesaver.

I do have some lifestraws, but never had to use them.

Also: Headlamp Ultility knife (aka leatherman) Charging necessities for your phone Some food that can be eaten cold (I use protein bars) Water container Note pad and pencil emergency poncho

I also have a portable water filter; it wont get everything but since I live in Florida most likely there will be fresh water nearby.

Nice! I wasn't aware of this (but sadly wont be able to take advantage of it).
