Can you perform the same model/garment fit with an uploaded model image? If so this would be revolutionary in reducing returns of online garment shopping. To see how a garment stretches when put on consumer's body type would be very beneficial. Ideally this would be done in real time but even a minute's wait to see how the item will look on you might be acceptable for consumers if it means less disappointment when you try on the item physically at home and elimination of a return.

To add to this I would like to say that if you do reach out to candidates be cognizant of the fact that you interrupted their life with this solicitation so be sure you provide all relevant information about the job, position, duties and details about your startup in the email so the candidate can make a decision if they are interested or not from your email.

If they have to go out and spend 30 minutes to an hour to google stuff about you then it's probably not going to happen.

Lastly if they don't respond to a LinkedIn message or email within a week just move on and don't keep sending follow up emails. There is a reason the candidates didn't respond because they don't want to and shouldn't have to spend even 5 minutes responding to your unsolicited email

Thanks

> The difference is often less than a penny. But it adds up for larger trades. Schwab, for instance, says that for orders of 500 to 1,999 shares of S&P 500 companies, the average savings from price improvement is $10.80.

Ok and Schwab charges $4.95 for trades. So an investor ends up saving $5 per trade. S&P 500 companies stock price ranges from $20 to $1200 so to buy 500 shares of a company with $20 price per share would mean you spend $10000 resulting in a saving of 0.05%. On the other end of the spectrum you spend $600,000 resulting in a savings of 0.0008% assuming that when they say "average savings" they mean "average savings" per trade and not per share.

Just to put the whole thing in perspective.

We have an EM who took on grunt work (but critical) so the team could focus on tasks on the charter of the team. Personally I really appreciated that because otherwise the team would have had to spend a few sprints doing the grunt work. His rationale was "You guys are doing great work and your momentum is great. I don't want this stuff to slow you guys down. I'll take it on" +100 for that attitude.

If a tree falls in the forest does it make a sound if no one's around to see it or hear it fall? That seems to be Google's logic for not disclosing this.

The feedback might have been good but the tone of those comments had hint of snark. Considering the product is to help you remove negative sentiment from your responses I would say they were good use cases.

replace blathering and blabber with more constructive words

This comment and the one above it in the thread are perfect examples of use cases of "Should I send it?"

That is genuinely funny!! Might be an accurate estimate too!

Why not just emit the sound when going below a certain speed AND ONLY IF there are pedestrians closer than a certain distance? That would be more expensive for sure but doesn't cause unnecessary sound pollution.

The cup example was to show that people are dumb enough to sue a cafe because they got burned by hot coffee. It's an example of overreaction. Instead of thinking "I ordered a hot coffee, maybe this cup is going to be hot and I should be careful", people think "I ordered a hot coffee and because the cafe gave it to me in a cup I am going to assume it's the cafe's responsibility to make sure I don't get burnt" When people get burned they react by finding scapegoats.

You have to beware of overreaction to the bad investment. Generally folks are not savvy investors. Just look at the large number of small investors in the stock markets. When greed takes hold or FOMO does and lots of people lose money it will lead to an overreaction against investors wanting to put money in companies. This will lead to VC/angel investment drying up which in turn will curb startups.

Remember we live in a country where a cafe has to put the following disclaimer on Hot coffee paper cups "Caution: The contents of this cup could be hot!!"
