hmm i’ve thought about this but thought it would be way too expensive. any more details on how you did this? what area do you live in? how much approx was it? you let them in your house in the afternoon and they cook and have it ready for when you go home?

I think he was saying before his 32-hour work week experiment, he was working 7-5

I haven’t had a chance to look through all the links yet but thanks for following up! Will definitely review.

Regarding your first point - any recommendations on articles to read on best practice?

This may be the Apple fanboy in me talking, but I think Apple was in a tough spot- seems like the tMBP has supplied-constrained components (I think it was hard to get in-store even 3 months after the launch), so their options were- delay it until they had a large number of laptops built already, charge an "acceptable" price and have people wait months for one, or charge more and have the price keep demand down. They went with the last option because, well, they can. I'm guessing the price should go down soon now that supply has somewhat caught up with demand.

Hmm, I've had the watch for about 6 months too. I agree with the review that I rarely switch from the main screen, and almost never use any apps. Charging is a little bit of a pain but not nearly as much of a dealbreaker as he's making it seem. And I feel like the sports band is super easy to use and way better than normal watches.

It seems crazy that they would do that, but I thought the same when they got rid of the CD drive on a Mac, included only one port on the Macbook, etc. I know people claim it's to make the phone thinner, but I'm hoping there's other reasons that are driving the decision as well.

Well, yeah, if the company isn't doing well and leadership changes, obviously that'll trickle down to employees and culture. No one said it'll be like this forever at Netflix, but it does sound like they put a heavy emphasis on "culture" now.

Curious, what is your cost per meal, approx? I live next to Whole Foods and buying ingredients daily usually makes the meal ~$7-$10, which is about the same as buying a pretty healthy prepared meal.

I do think buying/cooking in bulk will save money but that's harder to plan for and I don't have many recipes to cook in bulk.

Not in this case, because a lot of business fail in a year or two, and a lot businesses survive for 10, 20+ years.

I'll bet there's a lot of '$ made' graphs for entrepreneurs that don't go up much, or even go down; and a few that are hockey-sticks. There's really no point of averaging the two out into a scenario that rarely/never happens.

There seems to be so much variance in starting a company that I'm not sure how valid it is to use the 'averages' to create an earnings graph.
