It's weird that one of the reasons that you endorse AWS is that you had regular meetings with your account manager but then you regret premium support which is the whole reason you had regular meetings with your account manager.
Agree with this completely. I have found it consistently challenging to create the structure necessary for low performers to turn their work around. We have also had issues with people actively working for other companies while turning in poor work, spending most of their time freelancing, etc. It is hard to correct that level of effort when they think it is "good enough". Sadly the whole overemployed phenomenon is ruining it, not because they work multiple jobs but because they are disingenuous about it.
For anyone coming back to math I can't recommend enough the book "Journey through Genius: The Great Theorems of Mathematics". It's interesting how much of algebra came originally from geometry and the path to developing these fields makes it so much more intriguing / understandable vs just learning math to learn math.
Our team has an Enterprise account, but individuals cannot access GPT-4 through the chat.openai.com interface. With teams, do individuals get access to GPT-4 through that interface? Is our account just broken somehow?
It seems odd we have enterprise but cannot access GPT-4 through the main ChatGPT interface.
Yea I always liked the way Spanner solved this. Let's not bother with any of the distributed system theory and just use that Google money to build in to the system extremely precise clocks :-D.
(Obv I know it's more complicated than that, but where else can you be reductionist if not the internet)
If you like RATM then it's worth watching this early video of theirs from 1992. So many hits on their debut album and about 10 people in the crowd in the middle of a record store. This video is a definite gem.
There is a weird bug on your "What do you want to learn about first?" question.
I am able to select both "Cheeseburger" and "Greek Salad" but not "Greek Salad" and "Spaghetti & Meatballs". If I tap "Greek Salad" after first tapping "Spaghetti & Meatballs" then it deselects the "Spaghetti & Meatballs" and selects "Greek Salad" (even with only 1 item selected).
You still owe capital gains on the original proceeds, deferred a few years and with a possible 10-15% basis step up. This isn't zero capital gains tax.
If you happen to have a billion dollar exit on your reinvested capital gains that can be tax free, but you're still paying tax on the original gain.
Where I am in Colorado gyms reopened. No one inside wearing masks & even though they had reserved times it didn't seem like they limited the number of people at all. I imagine people are now "wearing" masks but actually subtly skirting the state mandate. Decided to stop going to the gym because of it & am now building a home gym instead.
> None of our stockholders are party to any contractual lock-up agreement or other contractual restrictions on transfer. Following our listing, sales of substantial amounts of our Class A common stock in the public markets or the perception that sales might occur, could cause the market price of our Class A common stock to decline.
It's hard to reason about wealth inequality because it is so massively, massively skewed right as a distribution. I don't think humans are very good at reasoning about distributions that are not normally distributed.
For example, the world's eight richest people have the same wealth as the poorest 50%.
We used to like it especially when management referred to their employees as "resources" .. you know.. "we have 5 resources devoted to this". So we started referring to ourselves as meat bags. "We have 5 meat bags on this project."
In my mind the only reason to work crazy hours is when you find product market fit: the ball is rolling down the hill and you're chasing it. That is supposed to be what it feels like. Customers are breaking down the door because they want your product and you're fighting to keep up with demand. And yes the "best" teams work crazy hours because they already have product market fit.
I've worked at a startup that very clearly had product market fit and one that very clearly didn't. In the former example the early employees worked a ton to scale the product and keep up with demand. In the latter example, the founders felt they needed to work nonstop in the mindset that hard work for the sake of hard work would produce product market fit. I think it resulted in a lot of thrashing. They kept focusing on minutiae in the product when probably taking a step back, letting things simmer, and evaluating from a higher level would have been really beneficial.
I think successful product development requires a lot of creativity, and you don't get creativity by sitting in a seat for 16 hours a day because that's what your investors tell you their best teams do...
- The pre-sale, which is like the early-bird sale for tickets, will be moved until after the directed group sale, which is for burners who are "key contributors to Black Rock City (theme and mutant vehicle camps, art collectives, and core teams)."
- That directed group sale is also growing by 10 percent more tickets in an attempt to boost "meaningful participation."
- The application-based Low Income Ticket Program will grow by 18 percent.
- The organization is also reducing the number of high-priced tickets available by 30 percent: "Higher-priced tickets will now be limited to 2 per person instead of 4 per high-priced tier, and buyers in what was formerly the “Pre-Sale” will no longer be able to participate in subsequent public sales," Goodell wrote.
- The limited sale will also be eliminated this year, which for the past two years allowed burners to purchase $1,200 tickets into July, according to the post.
It's interesting to me because most people who get tickets via the directed group sale contribute very little to the event beyond the camp dues they pay. Most full theme camps are planned and run by just a few people. I really think they should increase main sale tickets rather than directed group sale. Prioritize people who really are radically self-reliant and still want to contribute and aren't just paying dues to a camp and using their infrastructure.
Of course everyone will complain about the tickets no matter what they do though. Cool they are trying to improve.
