Don’t interview the 950. If you want to see if there are any diamonds in the rough, put it in your ‘no thanks’ email that if the want to make another case as to why you all should talk, then they should reply to that email or email you directly, or something.

It’s different in the US- it is worse.

Maybe it is policy. If you have three experts in the field and you redact the details for two of the interviews taken, you can’t work it out that Bob was one of the two. Granted, they borked the redaction here.

We already have a fertility crisis. Women leaving the country will only make it worse.

There are a lot of people who voted for Trump who are older and now actively worse off. It’s not just the young who are disillusioned.

It has more to do with the American food supply than anything else. The obesity rate skyrocketed as we started to consume food-like substances instead of food.

Strip out all the signals that let the body know it has enough, and it is easier to overeat.

Don’t forget the population decline

Often leadership doesn’t speak to the lowly plebs, or if they do, they don’t see the problem the same way.

I’ve worked at a company where customer service costs were higher than the contribution margin. The solution from leadership was to turn off the phones. If they can’t call in, then no one needs to be paid to answer calls.

I asked the VP how customers who need help now (appointments were involved) could get help? Well they could email in and wait for a response.

Shockingly, customer lifetime value dropped like a rock. So their solution was to lock every new customer into a hidden subscription plan that had a cancellation fee of 2-4x of one appointment. Then they had to walk that back when they had too many chargebacks.

The company was later bought out. Only people in the earliest of rounds made money from their equity. The CEO went on to be the CEO of the acquiring company.

The people deciding on the decision were will insulated from dealing with the consequences of that decision.

Cruises are selling a set space rather than a service or trip per person. The extra incremental cost is minimal for the second person.

Also the more people on the ship means more chances of selling high margin add ons like drink packages, excursions and so on.

I’m pretty sure the others are suggesting that you don’t generate the word list through coding but when you encounter words you don’t know. What helps us remember is context (“I saw that in the Doctor Who episode where the big bad is-“) where a word list doesn’t give that context.

Yes, you can crank through and memorize things without context. It is more painful and less effective overall.

“It is why all the small trucks were axed to begin with.”

No, it is because emissions regulations. A small truck can’t be built on our emissions policies, not that there isn’t a market for one.

Or maybe discourse has an inertia and it takes time to change the conversation.

I’m sure some of that is delaying: by having such high standards, they don’t have to go through the risk of actually hiring someone.

There are startups.

The Sacklers gave docs the wrong guidance on how habit forming it is. A doctor is busy and needs to be able to trust the experts- those who make the drug.
