Can you perform the same model/garment fit with an uploaded model image? If so this would be revolutionary in reducing returns of online garment shopping. To see how a garment stretches when put on consumer's body type would be very beneficial. Ideally this would be done in real time but even a minute's wait to see how the item will look on you might be acceptable for consumers if it means less disappointment when you try on the item physically at home and elimination of a return.

> It’s better to use LinkedIn as a source for candidates, but when possible, send a short and personal email to initiate contact. You can save time by using a service like Upwork to send emails to candidates on your behalf, but make sure that all emails read as though they come from you personally.
Please, please, do not do things like this.
The rest of the advice in the doc seems okay, but it really only scratches the surface of what's involved in starting a company. One thing that seems notably absent is the difficulty of the ups and downs in a startup, and the challenge of getting through the dark times.
To add to this I would like to say that if you do reach out to candidates be cognizant of the fact that you interrupted their life with this solicitation so be sure you provide all relevant information about the job, position, duties and details about your startup in the email so the candidate can make a decision if they are interested or not from your email.
If they have to go out and spend 30 minutes to an hour to google stuff about you then it's probably not going to happen.
Lastly if they don't respond to a LinkedIn message or email within a week just move on and don't keep sending follow up emails. There is a reason the candidates didn't respond because they don't want to and shouldn't have to spend even 5 minutes responding to your unsolicited email
Thanks

> The difference is often less than a penny. But it adds up for larger trades. Schwab, for instance, says that for orders of 500 to 1,999 shares of S&P 500 companies, the average savings from price improvement is $10.80.
Ok and Schwab charges $4.95 for trades. So an investor ends up saving $5 per trade. S&P 500 companies stock price ranges from $20 to $1200 so to buy 500 shares of a company with $20 price per share would mean you spend $10000 resulting in a saving of 0.05%. On the other end of the spectrum you spend $600,000 resulting in a savings of 0.0008% assuming that when they say "average savings" they mean "average savings" per trade and not per share.
Just to put the whole thing in perspective.

I really like the "work on bugfixes and small features".
There's lots of coding work that is easy to drop at a moment's notice and not mess up other work, schedules, etc.
Tooling is another one. Find processes that could use a nicer tool.
We have an EM who took on grunt work (but critical) so the team could focus on tasks on the charter of the team. Personally I really appreciated that because otherwise the team would have had to spend a few sprints doing the grunt work. His rationale was "You guys are doing great work and your momentum is great. I don't want this stuff to slow you guys down. I'll take it on" +100 for that attitude.
If a tree falls in the forest does it make a sound if no one's around to see it or hear it fall? That seems to be Google's logic for not disclosing this.
On the contrary they seem like perfectly rational responses to an introductory video that is redundant at best and patronising at worst.
I was dissuaded from installing it because I assume the products quality would reflect how little the founders seem to understand people in thinking that it's necessary to accurately detail what a poor start to the day would look like.
The video should be a simple gif demonstrating how an email with a negative tone is detected and turned into a positive tone. People are smart enough to figure out how that could be useful.
The feedback might have been good but the tone of those comments had hint of snark. Considering the product is to help you remove negative sentiment from your responses I would say they were good use cases.
replace blathering and blabber with more constructive words
Exactly what I was going to post. At the very least I was expecting a demo of the product after all the nonsensical "bad day" blabber. But it never came and I still had no idea what I was looking at.
This comment and the one above it in the thread are perfect examples of use cases of "Should I send it?"
