@safiya_saha Why hasn’t the transition succeeded? Do you think that will change now, and if so, then why?

@safiya_saha What is CMS? What is fee for service? What is the value based model? Any example companies?

@safiya_saha Pretty cool - share link to article

@SecretCFO How do you identify good CFOs just from listening to earnings calls / reading their LinkedIn? Are there certain green/red flags to look out for?

TL;DR. Limiting non-competes to 5 years instead of banning them is the best way to protect company trade secrets without hurting the newer/younger generations of employees.

[Rehaan Furniturewala @thetenx]

@FTC @linakhanFTC don’t ban non- compete clauses. Without non-competes, companies are less likely to invest in new employees like me, who have less loyalty to the firm than older employees. Instead, just limit non-competes to be active for the first 5 years of employment …

And companies would invest in their newest employees more frequently, since new employees couldn’t immediately leave for a competitor with their recently acquired knowledge, but would first have to benefit the original company for at least 5 years.

But it turns out that, by reliving experiences, your body captures all the great storytelling ingredients automatically:

It knows how to vary vocal delivery, it knows when to pause, and it knows when to emphasize.

Because when your mind relives emotions, your body reacts.

@danliu This works for NFTs but what about your example of the iPhone. How would web3 insure that I get a real iPhone from a 3rd party and not an empty box?

Virality favors concise emotionally-triggering statements over nuanced viewpoints, leading to echo chambers of thought on social media platforms. Great point by @waitbutwhy on @theallinpod

@iankar_ Right but they still have to return that money before they can receive carry. Every dollar that goes into research & eng does not go into investments, so the investments have to be better to compensate. I don’t think it always makes sense for management fees to scale w fund size

don’t make the perfect the enemy of the good

[Rehaan Furniturewala @thetenx]

Confrontation drains a lot of time/energy, and should be reserved for moments when the confrontation will save an even greater amount of time and energy in the future

[Rehaan Furniturewala @thetenx]

Be confrontational in reoccurring situations and non confrontational in one-off cases

I feel like startup journeys are less about growth and more about surviving ... long enough until you make the critical learning or identify the critical opportunity that enables you to grow quickly and sustainably @HowIBuiltThis

Thanks Prof. Waterman for sharing @Wharton

How can vaccine efficacy vs. severe disease for ages <50 be 91.8%, for ages >50 be 85.2%, but for all ages be 67.5%?

Crazy how the same data can tell two very different stories:
