With every organization, once you are part of a product initiative for a few years, this question of "how transferable are my skills to a different domain or company?" is a valid one to ask oneself.

Also, it is easy to get so involved in the daily busyness, that your skills might not be transferable.

I think spending some time in being curious and learning/investing in transferable skills, and building a "brand" of helping others(either online or in person) helps significantly when it is indeed time to pursue that next opportunity.

https://www.amazon.com/Robert-B.-Cialdini/e/B000AP9KKG - Robert Cialdini's books are good.

Never Split the difference from Chris Voss is a good book. Persuasion and negotiation are also as much about effective listening. Something I've practiced hard this year is to be mindful of creating a pause before I respond. Pause for like 2 seconds.

For investing, etc - highly recommend starting with this - https://mebfaber.com/timing-model/

Forget stock picking, it is generally a fool's errand.

Also - Tony Robbins did a good job with his book "Money: Master the game". Look up the "All weather strategy" from Ray Dalio referenced in that book. Diversification across non-correlated assets, compounded over time creates wealth.

Maybe. Persuasion is also about finding shared success/common ground, and its almost a negotiation in that way. Look at Robert Cialdini's books on Amazon. Similarly books on negotiation by Maggie Neale or Chris Voss (Never split the difference) are really helpful.

I'm not a crossfitter either, but I've trained at Crossfit gyms for about a year in the past. Yes, high intensity training with complex Olympic movements create a situation where injuries might more easily occur, but if one just goes there for a few months to learn the basics of movements/lifting form, it can be beneficial even if you go workout by yourself later on.

3 critical skills that will help you through out your life: 1. Learn to workout well - crossfit, hire a trainer, etc 2. Basic financial knowledge - investing, taxes, RSUs/Options, etc 3. Presentation skills - most of your career will be determined by how effectively you communicate, influence and persuade. Invest in it.

I worked with them for a little while. At a fundamental level, its a brilliant model. They're basically looking for strategies that have little to no correlation to the S & P. Also, any strategies that short the S & P market successfully are welcomed. They already have enough of the trend following, or mean reversion strategies which are found everywhere in quant trading books.

Please don't link to websites with a clear agenda against Atkins. A search of pubmed will reveal the positive effects of Atkins and similar diets on weight-loss, regulating insulin levels, energy levels, etc.

Probably. Allowing people to create chat rooms/channels is another possibility, and allows them to enter the enterprise collaboration space. Competes easily with HipChat and Slack. Most people already have twitter accounts, so groups of people can collaborate on the fly.

A potential acquisition of Slack and cutting number of employees to < 1000 are 2 things that come to mind. Owning slack opens up other potential streams of revenue in the enterprise space. Or allow twitter users to form groups/rooms on twitter ala Slack.

Interactive Brokers and Tradestation didnt have much issues, but yes, getting filled on trades, especially options trades was a nightmare.

Just one problem though, in times of extreme market volatility and volume, Thinkorswim freezes up. Like today, it was unusable at times.

This looks like a very useful tool Daniel. For comparison purposes, are there other products on the market which do the same?

Communities tend to gravitate toward each other. Your attitude towards these neighborhoods is the same as the attitude expressed toward the european immigrants in the early 1900s.

Does the H1B system need to be reformed? Yes I completely agree. But your reaction is xenophobic. America is a country of immigrants, get over it maybe?

Would love to use this service, but instacart does not service my neighborhood yet! Zipcode 95123 in San Jose.

I'm in San Jose, incase anyone knows of a service that does deliver?

What I really need is a service that can deliver milk and eggs and other staples in a day, seems like most cant do that.

I would love to see a breakdown of what they were most arrested for.

Please email me at vrao@aerohive.com if you love building awesome web interfaces and like working in a fun team.

I disagree with this. I'm a web engineer and I work with designers. I dont have the ability to design pixel perfect interfaces and I respect that skill in someone who can. I also dont have the time to spend countless hours interacting with a product manager who trying to figure out a finished design.

I should point out however, that this 401K match at the end of year practice is already a standard at IBM, which is probably the worst place to work at in the Silicon Valley today.

Yes, I was thinking the same. Clearly in a company, everyone will eventually find out who these women are, so although he didnt break any laws by revealing their names, these women are probably feeling pretty targeted right now.

I've worked for 3 very early stage startups before I joined my current position at a pre-IPO company. My previous company also grew to a 300 person company when I left for my new job. Few observations -

1. I will never again work for a very early stage startup. The equity grant given in exchange for the reduced salary(compared to larger companies) and the long hours are just not worth it.

2. Small perks like helping with chores, catered food, etc don't matter. I'd rather take a break for an hour and eat outside and go home at a normal hour.

3. "Loyalty" and "Commitment" are empty words, companies have none. They do whats in their best interest, you should do the same.

4. Startups more often than not tend to be poorly managed, and it can be frustrating dealing with it.

5. Startups with excessive hierarchy are the worst.

With all the data google already has on me, as a new homeowner, I think I'm terrified of buying this product. What kind of profile would this allow Google to build on individuals?

I think I missed the part where this is a tax deductible expense for him? Otherwise I think I'd keep my family away from my startup. Its stressful enough without having to add family into the mix.

No, he's an investor, who understands the concept of risk. He's made a bet that the value of companies he's invested in will increase, and it may or may not come to pass. His opinions on his investment however, maybe largely biased.
