I find it interesting when employees ask for this without reducing pay. They then think it’s a 20% reduction as it’s 20% less work. But then you factor the overhead including normal overhead like benefits, HR, office space and additional overhead like management (a manager can only many so many people so now we need two managers for a group) and your at around a 40% reduction in pay to support one less day of output.
As the world tunes in to watch the $21B SLS launch today. For the benefit of humanity it is unfortunate that the SLS did not blow up on the launchpad with no injuries of course. If it blew up we then would have hope to direct all future funding to private programs that are 10x more cost efficient. Imagine what SpaceX could have produced for $21b (SpaceX total funding is under 10B). Imagine how much faster humanity can get to space if the funding was spent effectively…
SLS: payload 154k pounds, not reusable, 3B per rocket
SpaceX Starship: payload 220k pounds, 100% reusable, 10m estimate per reuse
Even if you take the argument that Starship has not flown and the prices are not there yet- 3 falcon heavy rockets can lift the same payload today at a fraction of the cost.

I get sick every time I eat fake eggs made from Algae- this makes a lot of senseto me.
I became vegan for heath reasons at the same time I started my company (around 5 years ago). I believe it has allowed my body to stay young and my alertness to go up.
Starting out you just think of it as one meal at a time... this meal I won't eat anything with animal protein. Then one week at a time and before you know it you will pass the 90-day mark which is when you stop being hungry all the time and/or craving meat at all.
Another thing to note is I never really think of myself as a "vegan", just someone that is extremely picky and won't eat anything with animal protein :)
Do take b12 supplements, though- I found my eye to be drooping when I became tired because I was deficient. After taking the b12 I was back to normal.
This is from 2013, I would bet it is not possible in 2016. Anyone find anything that proves otherwise?

Most of the team of my startup SaleMove is in Tartu! This is yet another example of how great Estonia is for tech. If you want to develop for a great startup there reach out on our website!

They should list the price on the website
Its an interesting concept. However, it may never work for one simple reason "risk". When my partners and I started our company the risk that we took was astronomical, leaving our high-paid jobs, masters, phd's to start a company. This risk needs to be rewarded and it is via equity. Building a company that is there only for its employees does not provide the founders with enough reward to warrant the risk.
This does not include the stress it takes to start and run a company, that stress should be equally as rewarded.

Really cool stuff - though I wish the result limit was moved up to 100 cause a lot of the first page results are repeats

This is exactly why we are building our company SaleMove for sales not customer service
