Hi HN, this is Derek @ Fable Security. We built this quick game for October Cybersecurity Awareness Month. It is based on all the latest human attack tatics we are seeing.

We are living in a dangerous world but traditional trainings are so boring. We at Fable Security are experimenting ways to make training more like a game.

Try it out and let us know what you think!

Maybe?

"technical leader" for a 0-50 org is VERY different job than >100 org.

The CTO is probably very good at 0-1 type of start up work, and probably a cofounder and inexperienced eng leader.

But a experienced VP of eng is required to build teams and process later on. But usually those VP of eng are not good at building startups from the ground up.

So the solution here is either: - fire the CTO co-founder and replace them with a VP of eng type of talents - hire VP of eng and let the cofounder CTO focus on other works

I have seen both happened before.

meanwhile, China is doing 996 - 9am to 9pm, 6 days a week.

Obviously people hated it. But it is happening and no wonder China tech is catching up fast / winning in some areas already.

No. look at China and Korea. It can be well controlled. Business has been reopened with little new cases.

The Dabbawalas "secret" is: - built on top of public transit: dramatically lower cost, no need to pay for gas - have a pre set schedule and demand / not on-demand: enable huge supply chain optimization. These 2 are the key differences between the dabbawalas and uber eats supply chains.

Uber can also does similar optimizations if they offer a lunch subscription service that u pre-book ur lunches.

- uses vanes to do batch pick up / drop off: restaurants (small van)-> local hub (large van)-> destination local hub -> final mile delivery on bike / foot.

This will provide efficient supply chain to keep cost down and reliable if theres enough demand.

However, demand might be low because US customers looking to save money are used to pack their own lunch and microwave at work. This is not an option in Mumbai because of crowed train in rush hour.

Dabbawalas are getting paid in good salary because they are a lot more efficient comparing to Uber drivers. From other reports / business review I am reading, there are about 200k customers with 5k Dabbawalas workers. That is avg 40 lunch deliveries per person. That is a LOT more efficient than Uber drivers.

The Dabbawalas is more efficient because: - built on top of public transit: dramatically lower cost, no need to pay for gas - have a pre set schedule and demand / not on-demand: enable huge supply chain optimization.

Like many other Chinese have replied, we do use and learned pinyin in school and use it to learn how to pronounce new characters. All the Chinese dictionary has pinyin in it.

Pinyin to us is basically International Phonetic Alphabet to English. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Phonetic_Alphabe...

This is especially important because each region in China speak their own dialect of Chinese and sometimes it is almost an complete different language. As an Cantonese growing up, pinyin was my way of learning Chinese.
