And aero performance? And materials? And reliability? And availability of support (and charging, although that will go away), and resale market depth/liquidity? And branding? And interior layouts (the Lincoln grotesque most recent model car as an example)? With features (the giant tesla glass sunroof)? With new innovation (further soundproofing)? With more efficiency (greater energy recapture on breaking)?

I don't know, once there's 20 credible manufacturers in this space I bet they will compete in any way possible. Just like any other industry.

Spoofing?

Look at Microsoft buying sunrise, even though the server based calendar outlook feature was arguably fully fledged. There’s always space:

+1. That prof must have been going super fast!!!!

Using a magnet seems like not a top 5 idea someone would have.

This is such a clever hack: “here, take this answer; it’s good the ‘AI’ generated it”, and if you can’t check like you did you might be able to spoof a self serving recommendation through simply because interprability of the inference is so difficult and reproducing might be costly.

The investors (generally, abstracting here) in mature-ish assets want a 20%+ gross IRR they can transact on and actually exit so they can return $ to their LPs and therefore get their fat bonuses. Aspiring to reach some arbitrary milestone is likely not on their radar; just doubling revenue might get them there.

No. Schizophrenia does. Probably a few other things.

Create a maker space in an increasing all remote working environment as a marketing tool? Slow, expensive, small user base….maybe if you convert a ton but that $$$ might be better used doing the digital ocean strategy mentioned above (ie be useful)

Not stopping for 5 years straight on top of your day job, while you’re are the sole on call pager duty engineer (through holidays and work crunches, etc), is kindly very very difficult and kudos to you but probably borderline unachievable for mere mortals.

After that pure dissonance! Rachmaninov in Paris

Fair, fair, and fair. :)

Your annual cost is $0, tbf

Smart but now there’s another third entity you have to trust to aggregate all this personal information from a slew of users just to… avoid the same situation initially? Sort of seems like only a marginal improvement.

Oh man, memories

“Growth potential” lol.

Yeah guys that’s why you’re not paying 100% cash and getting years of liquidity being withheld to your advantage. Tell you what - pay all cash and I can invest it in the stock market myself in the meantime.

Plus they don’t all work out.

It’s in the employers best interest a lot of the time, not the employees.

In all fairness sometimes it’s a huge pain in the ass depending on how HR set up the req 2 offer process (even worse if a ERP is involved), and having some vague notion on if you’d accept would help.

Plus as a hiring manager, and this is minor, I’d feel kinda embarrassed if out of sheer statistical luck multiple candidates turned down written offers, which would indicate maybe something is wrong with us as a hiring entity.

Not sure there’s a playbook here. Another commenter suggested being untruthful and pulling the offer out of them. Given how many times companies screw over employees that might be the game theory rational thing to do here even though it’s not great ethically.

Just my 2 cents.

How did your boss know your interview targets, much less the contact points? Unless you told someone, no employer would reference check you before you even came to interview. This sounds a bit loose.

Edit: if it’s true, go to HR and get that person immediately fired.

Right. Exactly.

Especially as, very likely, a person choosing to work there likely believes in the business to some extent.

The counter argument would be: “the moment these get liquid I’m selling, then quitting to pursue XYZ thing” in which case the potentially lost half decade of time is a big non financial cost.

Please add a trigger warning to your post. /s

You can have agreements with vendots? How would anyone but you and the vendor know anything about that?

Alsothe API is exposed and really easy to use.

I mean, if it's free anything above zero is good. Barely useable is still useable.

Just pull up a top played playlist?

Superhuman is $30 a month and growing rapidly, for comparison.

There is very little econ on the CFA.

Don't really care for the guy, but a 36.5% IRR over a decade plus period is really really good. See figure 1, very impressive among most metrics.

Thanks!

Awesome thank you.

200x ARR? Not taking away from your examples but those are 2020 valuation unicorns.
