I’ll never forget the grade 9 science class Powerpoint presentation I did in 1998. I had each letter of every headline flying in one by one with a laser sound (pew pew pew). That was my first moment of magic with Powerpoint.

Agreed but I’ve yet to hear the killer tactic for how a company gets every employee 100% focused 100% of the time. I think there are some roles that end up suffering. Like someone who is a product designer and now has to cram more creativit

I still don’t understand the 100% as productive in 80% of the time. The math doesn’t check out there unless the expectation is people are working 10 hr days Mon-Thurs. Even in that scenario, not everyone has the stamina to execute at that p

Some feedback on your “news” page. Near the bottom there is a section that says: “Are you ready to start with Vega template?”. Probably just an artifact and an easy fix.

Feels like a slap on the wrist in the grand scheme of things. I expect this to be a catalyst for Alibaba’s stock since the cloud of uncertainty over how severe the CCP punishment would be has now been lifted and that’s very much been weighi

My guess is that that Plaid will go public via a SPAC deal now. I think it's highly likely GSAH (Goldman Sachs Acquisition Holdings) is that SPAC that does a deal. They have $750M to play with and given Visa was going to buy Plaid for

Do you filter out @alumni.* accounts? That was the go to way of getting student deals after graduating.

I like the concept. A couple of thoughts: 1) I wonder how you can secure the lowest price however. I'm guessing there's no way you can slurp in all the targeted promotional offers that a user receives from a specific retailer and

You should have received a confirmation email. We would have sent the recipient an email asking them to setup their gift delivery (i.e., let us know the place and time they want their gift delivered). If you didn't get a confirm email,

Right now for 4/1, we're just doing the 3 pranks. Everything is pretty much a gift box + cookie + envelope containing the custom photoshopped eTicket/reservation. But this is for fun. After this week, we'll get back to b

Awesome. Yea, give it a shot. Would love to hear your thoughts and learn about how your recipient reacted. Super pumped for 4/1.

A couple ways. First, you get to record a video greeting card as part of the flow. This allows you to really sell your recipient/victim on the prank. Second, we make sure that all the info is customized and specific to the recipient. I

I don't think it's ever fair to generalize and hate on people just because they have a specific degree. Sometimes grad school is a good place to reboot your career and I'm of the belief that education is never a bad move. The
