I am trying to understand the usecase. Exchanging contact deets, is that the only one?

I have never understood why managers need to be paid higher than the people they manage..

That is the single reason for many orgs screwing up their system as this forces excellant developers/workers to abandon their core skills and move into management..

Quite pleased to hear this. I take the same view with competition. Its bloody hard work to educate your market segment.

I have come across a few fintech startups who have voiced the same opinion. They don't feel threatened by the other startups playing in the same space trying to change people's habits..

trouble is everyone thinks their idea is a fantastic one..

I think mine is but many can't even get their heads around what I see as a simple concept...

IMO ideas need space and air to bloom, grow and flourish and you can't do that under lock and key.

Quite interesting that it was seen as women's work then. Would that mean her team was predominantly women as well?

Does anyone print out their source code nowadays? I remember seeing that some 15 years back..

I had seen a site that does this[1] but think they are more geared to bigger residences.

May have small setups too..

what does "improperly downloaded" mean here?

They didn't have permission to download? or weren't supposed to be downloaded by employees who are leaving?

This is true even in India.. You can go to most South Indian States and the construction workers come from Bihar and Eastern states of India..

The locals are not willing to work at salary levels the Biharis are willing to work..

yep.. we need to support people when they have been transparent as patio11 has been...

I would say, even at lesser levels of transparency we need to encourage such people rather than tearing them a new one.

Let me understand this better and don't take this negatively cause I can't figure out a way to make the point better...

You already had 2 broken promises and you are still wondering if you should give the other person the benefit of doubt..

What's that they say about, "fool me once, shame on you.. fool me twice, shame on me"... not sure if they have something for "fool me thrice.. "

You are solving a problem? Talk to your target market either face to face or in forums..

find out if they have this problem and if so suggest your solution...

Hustle like crazy.. People talk about it but rarely do it...

seems like a similar argument like "fair trade" focussed businesses

That doesn't signal that it cost $5.9B to runa taxi app company...

Just a signal that Uber has $5.9b to indulge in a fight with you...

A few 10's of million of which may be spent trying to buy you out..

Nothing wrong in cloning a company.. happens daily..

Yeah ordinary people can survive but OBL is no oridinary person plus he had medical needs..

not possible to hide those trails in Afghanistan but quite easy in a garrison town like Abbottabad..

Pricing is a very inexact science and this list is quite helpful to educate startups. Thanks for writing this.

One of my favourite articles on this is http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/CamelsandRubberDuckie...

I would think the reason for doing it in Abottabad would be the plausibility of the whole scenario. ANything else, the contracdictions would have been enormous.

Lets imagine OBL was eliminated in Afghanistan, how do you explain his presence there, where did he get his food, medical supplies for all those years.

With the US presence in Afghanistan you can at best argue for a few sneakthroughs that supported OBL.

So I would say US picked the best case scenario based on circumstance.

Was The Uber guys doing bad hustle then... not knowing who gets hurt...

The nature of disruption is that some people will get hurt.. Taxi medallion/Hotel owners folks think they are playing by the rules while others aren't...

The market seems to have rewarded the bad hustlers here then as per your definition or have I got it wrong.

I use subaddressing to keep track of my email subscriptions and who is selling them to 3rd parties

Thanks mate. This was helpful.

Haven't been born with wit and so I make it a point to observe those who have it..

I would say Secret did not have enough imagination to monetise those numbers or had a moral reason against that kind of money making..

Some of my tests came out as instrumentation which made no sense.

Need to test with a category of images and see what % of results come out matching the category.

I know of one in Australia https://lawpath.com.au/

The other area to disrupt IMO is accounting services.

That sounds very much like some of the recruiters or HR folks asking "what will you work for" while sounding all shocked if you ask them to pay market rate or even worse if you ask what their budget is..

There must be some sort of way to disrupt this whole price negotiation shenanigans. Whoever has more information should be obliged to name the price.

Isn't that one of the point behind the "white male privilege" argument.. that one gets ahead just because they belong to a group..

You would be supporting and perpetuating such a structure.

Sounds straightforward and simple. Well done.

Would like an option to set parameters of a deck. Some card games use only 8 cards from a set and not the whole 13.

>> You don't respond to bullies with bullying if you don't want to promote violence.

err... its a game where violence is the norm right.. or am I mistaken?

I too wonder as to why the credibility of media orgs like NYT isn't questioned inspite of acting as lapdogs in several cases..

Well they can charge all the expense to the fund and still take nominal salaries.

The startup world isn't encouraging of founders who take high salaries or who take money off the table..

Some of this exorbitant salaries could have been paid to extend the runaway of key startups and generate better returns.

I understand that but I can see fellow founders condemn other founders for taking an above avg salary or as was the case with the founders who took $6m [0] off the table during funding...

Surely the Lp's should look at such high salaries as exorbitant..
