It was Barbara Rechter (I think that’s her name) who was CMO that changed the name from Jomax Technologies to GoDaddy and spearheaded the logo and ad campaigns. But Bob threw the best corporate holiday parties. All employees and their +1s flow out for 2 nights to Phoenix. One year they rented out Diamondbacks Stadium, had Daddy Yankee and Pitbull perform, and gave away 10+ cars. Fun times
Yeah. To become a D1 you need to be an M2 who successfully manages (ideally) more than one other M2, who themselves might manage M2s or M1s or a combo. So you get really large chains of people at the same level in a reporting line, all managing and trying to show that they should be D1s.
I’d invest in index funds and similar boring vehicles, not VC, if I wanted a reliable growth business. Perhaps venture into PE if I was feeling saucy and had access. It’s the reality where we reap what we sow
When a few well funded companies absorb all of the growth in headcount do you believe they are allocating resources effectively against the overall economy’s need? That’s what happened here. Company A got cash to burn at no interest. Decided to hire more people and buy more services. Service company B saw a spike in POs and raised more capital to do the same. So up the chain with C,D,E, etc. But when raising money or hiring, none of them strayed too far from their original vision/thesis because boards and the public don’t like that (see: reaction to the Metaverse). So it just concentrated more eyeballs and dollars on a proportionally smaller surface.
Boards see this as good “decisioning”. Decisions are made by proportional controllers — money cheap, hire and grow, money expensive, fire and slow. So execs are being very prudent here, according to investors.
Google runs Disaster Recovery Training annually (DiRT) where security teams are tasked with simulating these “black swan” events. Seems like this practice needs to expand to more industries.
Terry Crews had a clip where he talks about the exercise habit, and how he (not sure if he did this or suggested this) would go to the gym for the time he allotted for exercise each day, even when he didn’t want to. And if he didn’t want to work out, he’d read a book in the locker room or walk at 1mph. A friend of mine did this, and eventually built an exercise habit out of it because, “why not, I’m already here?”. Obviously if funds or facilities aren’t there you could just change into exercise gear and go to a park to sit. Eventually you’ll move.
So OP, give yourself protected time and protect it.
I believe you’re using “soft”v. “hard” to distinguish what the author calls “inter generational” v “trans generational”. Using this distinction, “soft” epigenetics in your example is just epigenetics. The fetus responding to an external stressor which happens to be induced by a stressor on the mother. And in the case of female fetuses who have a fixed number of eggs for life, can impact those and therefore one more generation.
When I pause it’s because I’m trying to compose a response and my emotions. Sometimes too fast a response sounds less credible and often times it is — I’ll ramble on a bit longer than I’d like or talk my way into my larger point, possibly losing my audience or saying half baked things. It also often prompts more details from the person I’m talking to to fill the void. This gives me more context so I don’t just answer the superficial question. But mostly it helps keep emotion out of my response.
As an aside, while I’m OK-to-uncomfortable on the receiving end of the pause, I get wildly enraged when people say, “I don’t understand” without trying to play back or suss out meaning, eg “I don’t understand, are you saying…?” I find it wildly dismissive. But that’s probably on me.
Likely a lie for less savvy investors. Or they need cash to recapitalize before being able to transfer to wallets. Or people are withdrawing to fiat which would need a bank in many cases. My money is on it being a combination, but that they definitely don’t have reserves to cover a mass run on USDC.
In terms of brand safety it has. But we haven’t seen the same backlash as when FB or YT had brand safety issues a few years ago. My guess is because the Elon stories are chumming the water for Twitter stories. Curious if it ever shakes out
To further your point — 20% time was barely a thing in 2010… And they killed all of the OC/Founders awards subsequently so there was really no focus on maverick innovation from then on. Coincided with the end to oysters on Fridays
Just the capitalized term EA to me reads like a scam. It’s a new term created to explain some behavior that is simply injurious to the broader population, claiming that its for their benefit. I’m just not sure I buy it.
I had to get an arterial blood gas draw done earlier this year. Despite having an ultrasound which would make it easy to find the right spot in my wrist, the resident decided to “learn” on me by digging her large needle into my wrist and fishing around. After she failed her 5th or 6th attempt and my dilaudid couldn’t help me forget what was happening, the tech decided to “show” her how to do it and repeated the same experiment while tears rolled down my face. Finally the ICU NP brought in the ultrasound and got it done in one shot. Long story to say — we have lots of technology, but using it appropriately is the key!
Those Korean “Dream Tours” busses jamming up the infinite as I ran to classes were a great memory in retrospect, but the bane of my mornings as I hoofed it to lectures.
Stem cell therapy (autologous) involves wiping out your entire immune system and then rebuilding it from scratch using your own stem cells. It uses (usually) strong chemo drugs to do the wiping out, which themselves are toxic and have tons of side effects. You are rendered weak, with a high risk of secondary infection that requires you to basically isolate yourself until your immune system recovers. It’s very unpleasant. Close family member is currently in the midst of it for multiple myeloma, and spent an extra week in the hospital from secondary infection.
