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.
I genuinely enjoy working in open office after working in both settings to the point that I would never never work in a company that is not open office aganin. All the noise points are valid here though. For me personally, I like it because:
- Better/Faster communications. I can ask and answer questions on the spots vs. scheduling a meeting. This is gaming changing. For the same type of question, I can get answered within 10 mins vs more than 1 day. This is a HUGE productivity boost.
- Better team culture. Sitting next to each other make the team much closer. More likely to go to lunch/dinner, hang out, and become friends outside of work. This will give people empathy to each other and more willingly to help/unblock you.
For the noise issues, I get around it by blocking heads down time in my schedule and find a quiet corner in a office.
Yea. I was wondering how can they afford to pay for the benefits for W-2.
How can they compete to someone doing exactly the same thing but as a 1099 contractor instead of W2 to cut cost.
Spots on! Thank you for writing this. Access is definitely the most important thing in here. It actually remind me of the important work that Internet.org is doing.
I actually saw this in full effects near alexandra steakhouse Cupertino. It is a really impressive experience. and also surprisingly, it works for even when I was quite far away, at least like 20 meters. I wonder how the technology works. Dose it has something to do with the one way transmission?
In that scenario, it is easy to see how an expensive watch that replicates smartphone's functionalities would be a commercial failure.
I think in the case of watch and luxury products, this is different. Buyers don't buy watch for the functionality of checking time, but the design, status symbol and other values from luxury goods.
I don't think this is the case here. This is a freemium model, hoping the people CAN afford internet but do not know they NEED it will pay for the normal services with the operator.
Yes, Project Shield is the best solution.
Actually I have the exact same idea like a few weeks ago. The potential for this idea is big. It can be widely used by small web apps (Chrome App). Instead of hosting a server and a database, every thing can be done and stored in the client, isn't that neat?
Interesting. I thought about this. I think they will have their own market and not open to the official android market so that they will the cut of profit that games generated.
Good Question. I think the majority issue is: 1. Gaming in Android isn't that impressive yet. 2. They are def. working on it. But they don't want to make so many enemies (Sony) before they have a chance. For them, it is not a huge profitable item. Getting the Google TV into the living room is more important. But I can see Google TV eventually will become a console and OuYA will die out.
I grew up in China and this is def true. IE6 is still popular in China is because a lot of banks and governments website only works in IE(6). Since banks are state owned, they don't have incentive to compete to make their site better. I think the only hope is to wait till their computers die and when they install new windows IE6 will be gone.
