Well - last time the pattern looked like this (the years around ~1917) it eventually led to WWII. So will we see a WWIII in the next 5-20 years?

Grupago. Building operating system for LatAm ecommerce - delivery and cash payments.

A dream job to help build out our MVP, an ambitious product, and hire/manage a growing team.

Top tier venture backed. Run by an experienced, serial founder and former VC.

Hiring for Spanish-English bilingual full stack senior lead.

Ideally LatAm based (Mexico or other).

Preference for Ruby on Rails - but flexible.

Email [email protected] for more info.

1. Exercise daily.

2. Then choose Tony Robbins or David Goggins, and go deep.

I wrote an article, originally written for founders ==> but choosing one of these paths (whichever resonates most with you) will ABSOLUTELY transform your mindset, if you actually commit to it. https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/should-i-start-startup-ask-on...

3. I also recommend a spiritual practice, if that calls to you at all. Most of all, sending you peaceful + warmth ==> hang in there, and you are not alone. Check out "The Untethered Soul" to start.

Great piece. Most MBAs learn this in b-school. This is wonderfully paired with this video (from Ray Dalio) --> which draws analogs to this process on the macro / country level https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xguam0TKMw8

I've been wrestling with this recently as well, and found a great read re: OKRS versus a framework called OGSM.

It provides the metrics and strategies that OKRs are missing - and results in deeper thinking up front.

Here's a good read on this - https://medium.com/infinite-beta/ogsm-okr-8761dcb50e02

Spend 4 days doing Unleash the Power Within. I was skeptical, but put my full effort into it and held back my cynicism. Ignore the annoying marketing/hype machine around it -- the actual content and the experience (when approached wholeheartedly) are awesome. Change your state, change your life.

Judaism has a similar approach - anonymous charity is the highest form of giving.

https://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/256321/jewish...

Very promising to read this. Feels like many more studies needed and more data to be collected in order to figure out what is indeed effective and what's not.

Just like the early hype with microfinance decades ago - there was an initial hype cycle, then broader cynicism in the academic community, and ultimately, a data-driven informed understanding of what in fact works (on a more nuanced level - by country, income levels, program design, etc.)

Three words that explain Intuit's rationale: "Free tax returns".

They are stopping a potentially existential threat to Intuit's TurboTax cash cow.

Re:Twitter to ban political advertising on Wednesday October 30, 2019 @06:35PM (#21403642)
Regardless of where you are on the political spectrum - it's really inspiring to see a company take a stand against political advertising, if it can't be properly vetted. One more step to strengthen our democracy.

Re:Real-Time Stock Indices Futures on Tuesday November 08, 2016 @11:52PM (#12906140)
Look at the VIX - up 42% at the moment... A sign of major volatility expected ahead.
Is this driven by the digital collaboration at work trend started by Slack, or intended to be an entirely different beast?
