Did for me. On Android, chrome. This is weird. Several times now I have either bypassed the paywall or got hit with it clicking the title link on different posts. Anyone know what's up with this?

did you want actual suggestions?
I watched Objectified, design movie. It was okay, but didn't give me much more than Don't Make Me Think. It probably would have made more of an impact if I watched it before reading the book. What these books/movies do is change your perception of the world. Once that's done and you see something similar you'd be like "of course" instead of "I never thought of it that way".
Wish more places invested in design. I had to help my dad with Massachusetts new design for their tax homepage. Just awful. You go there to pay taxes monthly, to come close to accessing that page is 3-4 buttons deep.
You mean less people are doing whatever they can to get valuations at exactly $1 billion? fortune.com/unicorns/
The area was pretty cheap too. Looking up citydata (2013), median household income: $50k, Median income per capita: $27k. For comparison in the same year SF was $77k and $52k respectively.
What I'm saying is that Glassdoor does not count it towards their avg salary number. If you click a salary for a role at a certain company it'll give you a different breakdown showing Avg Salary, and one showing Total Comp that includes salary + bonus + stock
I also see Glassdoor is accounting for stocks now, though that's not factored into avg salary, but total comp. Looking at some companies this raise compensation by ~$50k.
Read Rich Dad Poor Dad before. There are criticism online about how they aren't real people. But it does display different mindsets, and how that mindset will change the perception of an event -> action taken because of the event.
And to your question of the majority of rich people reading these books. Meh. Not sure the majority, but the more interviews I read/listen/watch from wealthy people there are certain books they have in common, for example Tony Robbins (haven't read any of his books yet). Not to say the majority of self help books aren't total fluff.
I have hopes for a more utopian future versus one where most are homeless because their jobs get replaced. The transition will be painful.
There's also the mentality of clinging to jobs because it's needed for livelihood. Wanting to keep jobs that will bring 0 value to society. Think about all the crappy toys we make that's thrown out after a month or two. Who would want to work these jobs except if it's needed to sustain a decent quality of life outside of work?
Viagra for example, was originally studied for high blood pressure.
I've also seen a tv program where they visited a pharmacy company's lab that's literally machines mixing random drugs in order to find their next product. The place was the size of a walmart.
What's hard to get about people wanting to see others eat large amounts of food. US had the glutton bowl and that guy who's famous for eating hotdogs.
Know that you're just giving an example. Points about simple and honest business model comment. Maybe this is considered simple now in terms of the Valley. The honest part, almost no one reads the TOS/EULA.
>Buses are more complicated than cars (city driving, people at stops etc), so doing cars first makes sense.
I don't think this is a valid argument. I see self driving cars operating in Mountain View (a city, albeit not a crazy driving city like SF or Boston), these cars are aware of people as stated in the article, the condition of people at stops can start with stopping at... well stops ->recognizing people that are waiting there. Maybe prepayment to figure out how many people should have boarded.
Don't know why they didn't do mass transportation, but my guess is legislation and unions. Getting rid of personal cars and human driving taxis is private industry. Mass transportation will have a large percentage be public sector workers and union workers.
If this is the path of least resistence and is proven to work, they will most likely go after mass transportation as well.
> ultimately reach commercialization, defined as having recurring revenue and expenses associated with the sale of products and/or services in keeping with the company’s business objective.
How viable something is over the long run and its overall success is different from being able to have it out in the market and get inital paying customers.
Reaching commercialization by this definition and receiving better evaluation from VCs means more funding readily avaiable to get a product out.
you cut off the the "more" to make it sound like my statement meant we are equal instead of relatively better than we once were in comparison to the upper class.
then proceeded to provide examples of your toddler being able to retain information and yourself retaining information. both are about memory and ability to recall those memories with accuracy.
We're much more on equal footing in terms of ability to gain information. Whether we act on the information is another issue.
