I think you should even if you don't get hired. Our company keeps the score cards for 6 months and anyone interviewing can request to see them. No one ever does.


Do you tell them they can see them?


Are you currently experiencing any server issues? I'm stuck on the generating head screen for over 5min now...


Let me check and get back to you soon. But I can see that others are generating their model successfully.

Apologies about the delay. There are chances when the capture has some issues.


The forbidden fruit tastes best, right.

My theory is that like everything this requires a balance and gradual introduction. Start early, let kids make mistakes, punish them for said mistakes, let them learn lessons.

Enforcing super strict rules has never helped anyone I think. 1h a day is quite strict in my opinion especially if consumed in multiple sessions. If I had just started doing something and it took me 15min to get fully absorbed and in 15min I had to call it quits I'd be pretty angry myself to be honest.

I can make an analogy with access to sweets here. Our boy aged 6 now has had unrestricted access to a cupboard full of variety of sweets since he was 3. And believe me he loves sweets! Technically he can go and take as many sweets as many times as he wants to and no one would probably understand. But we've said it is 2 sweets a day, reasonable quantities. This was strictly enforced early on and now we can 100% trust him to pick whatever he wants when he wants. Because he knows when is a good time and what is a good amount. He'll even come home from school some days and say he'll only eat one sweet today as they've had chocolate cake for pudding at school.

So cut your kids some slack and let them learn themselves rather than locking everything behind locks - physical or digital.


This seems to be a growing trend in parenting literature, enforce things more laxly, teach good habits, and let kids self-regulate.

nvm, sugar seems to be a special case: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ceFyF9px20Y


I’ve experienced the same with Snapchat and their geofencing ads. I geofence a perimeter around a venue where we run an event and run a branded filter. We have a team of 5 in the venue during the hours the ads run. None of them was able to see the filter come up. Snapchat on the other end shows hundreds of impressions and tens of uses. Surely a fraud.


Wouldn't they be afraid that if the rules are relaxed the single cases would spiral up and start it all over again?


If you can identify the remaining cases and isolate them, you're fine. The danger is that some cases slip through the contact tracing procedure (e.g. the identified patient forgot about someone they were in contact with) which is why you also want to aggressively test anyone presenting with symptoms.


A dip implies a bottom exists. Right now it's just a steep slope with no bottom in sight.


A steep slope with no bottom in sight does not imply that a bottom does not exist.

Indeed it’s clear that a bottom must exist. Being unable to infer where it may be does not negate that certainty.


Honestly, that is always the mentality of the market. Its going up with no top in sight! The next day its going down with no bottom in sight!

Except that bottoms have more natural barriers than tops.


A bottom always exists. It is zero. There is no top however.


Leveraged financial instruments can create a negative bottom. Don't assume anything magical about zero.


Money must exist?


No, but companies must have some value greater than zero since they generate future cash flows.


I've got a company to sell you!


Pleasure. I feel sorry about Bill and Melinda because the expectations of them are super high as you just proved yourself. Instead of laying on the beach of a private island they travel around the world meeting people having what-not ilnesses. For any sane person this must be a taxing experience. They need to wind down from time to time. I would have taken a gap year a decade ago. What they do is admirable. And if he wants to buy a billion $ coffee mug he should - it's well earned after all.


It’s boggling to me that you’d imply that in order to “wind down” Gates needs to spend $650 million dollars. He is a human being and there is no evidence to suggest people worth 100,000 a middle class westerner needs to spend multiple order of magnitude more money to treat stress.

This is making me wish for more Jack Dorsey’s who spend mere thousands on meditation retreats.

Your coffee mug example makes your reflexive defence of billionaire excess even more obvious. I’m with Peter Singer and the Effective Altruists, we absolutely should criticize the rich for buying Rolex when Timex will do, and the savings can be used to buy medicine for sick children. The yacht is like 50,000 Rolex watches.


What expectations?

They need a super polluting yacht to wind down?


+1. When I was young and naive I used to praise Kiyosaki. Later experience taught me he's just a charlatan getting rich by teaching others how to get rich.


I must be missing something. The product looks a like a cloud accounting software.

Why does this not new concept need validation?


1. It is their own take on accounting software. You make it sound like it’s silly to need validation because the category exists. But every business ever needs validation. 2. They are new to the market (and seems like they are new to business in general) and need to learn about it


More interesting is that "impeach" came runner up...
