why enterprise? why not consumer? can you monetize via crypto?
all things covered in the article w direct quotes from Lurie re: homelessness, drugs, building permits. he missed the feces part though, but assume he's working on that too
What does that even mean? 972 is a local Israeli outfit, with contributors from Israel and Palestine. They have sources within the IDF, sources who may be center-left leaning and are "done" with how the far-right coalition is running this war and they are blowing the whistle on this practice.

anti-gambling commercials are a joke. "gambling problem? calls this number"

would much rather hear gambling commercials focus on fact that 97% of people lose money by telling / showing stories of real people who thought they had an edge and kept losing money until they had to get into a rehab program or lost it all.

same goes for modern day options trading, crypto trading, etc.

I was curious to see what companies were part of the S12 batch, and who were the most notable. Among the 80 or so in that group, big winners were Coinbase, Instacart, and Zapier.

do you have anyone on your enterprise BD/sales team? or is it too early for that type of role?
Re:The story BCG offered me $16,000 not to tell (2010) on Wednesday September 07, 2022 @05:43PM (#32757364)
this was written in 2010. here are all of Keith's articles

https://thetech.com/authors/keith-yost

but not sure if he ever wrote a followup. here's his AMA on reddit:

https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/kde8s/iama_former_bus...

A friend of mine spent ended up spending 9 months in the Google pipeline for a PM role. During the early phases of the cycle (1 month in) he received and accepted an offer at Capital One and joined as a PM. Spent 7 months at Capital One while still interviewing for Google, and then managed to get an offer and team placement.

Surprised it took that long, but he's happy he stuck w the Google process.

I run a microbakery on the side (https://www.instagram.com/stoneleigh.microbakery/) and my local government knows nothing about this operation. That said, I only sell to friends and neighbors bc if somehow my bread gets spoiled (highly unlikely, unless its focaccia and they leave it out for 2 days), I can resolve it directly with them and not have to deal w the health department.

this describes the web3 + discord scene accurately today, but instead of Visual Basic, kids today are using Replit.
yes please do find that paper (or the name of the professor)!

dotcom was a completely different situation. VC money flowed to companies that had no meaningful revenue. FAANG, on the other hand, are printing billions of dollars per month.
sounds like Mumbai or Karachi or any other large city in a developing nation. sheesh.
Im curious to hear what types of companies an L6 / E6 at FB is applying to. Without mentioning company names, what types of opportunities are out there that convince you to leave this type of comp [1]

This is fantastic, and the pricing for "lifetime" is nearly a no brainer.

Here are some additional ideas for ways to generate revenue:

* $100-$200 one time guided setup consulting, where someone spends 30-minutes with me on zoom to get data setup the right way, talk through data analysis process, talk through simulation and projections, etc. * Marketplace to connect me with financial advisors who know your software, align with your approach to financial planning, and can help me with next level optimization.

Nice work!

her twitter audience is primarily that demo so she wants a wider demographic sample size. makes sense to me.

"Roblox is absolutely wild

It has 110MM MAUs + delivers an est 1.25 BILLION hours of entertainment each month

It does this not because it makes a good "game", but because players make games/worlds/experiences for and with one another

This only exhausts when imagination does"

so you're assuming that nothing will change in the next 5-10 years?

1a - build trust specifically with IIT aspirants who, even if they don't get into IIT, will hold amazon in high regard and consider amazon for employment down the line.

3. get data / insight / early access to top level test takers and build a recruiting funnel before these students start college.
