@Dconley12 @Dougbarnett You sure are, so maybe quit cheerleading insanely unnecessary projects will lead to environmental destruction just to benefit the techno-oligarch ruling class.

Watching this data center hatred now hit Utah is bizarre to watch.
I blame Dario and Sam for terrible leadership on what’s really happening with AI.
AI will produce the greatest boom loop in history, driving nearly endless prosperity. And we can’t get out of our own way.

@Dconley12 @Dougbarnett And it could be even better if the system was tilted in favor of the working class, ie those that labor for your unnecessary levels of undeserved wealth. Our time will come and it’s not going to be pretty for the likes of you.

@zanesvillain @Dougbarnett The world is in a much better place than it was 100 years ago. Inequality has always been part of humanity and anyone telling you differently is trying to grift you.
English
@Dconley12 @Dougbarnett History tends to suggest that the rich are getting richer and the poor are only getting poorer. Everyone can see that data center isn’t being built to enrich or benefit the common working class utahn.

@MikeCarey4CC I think the biggest thing people are missing is that these data centers are critical infrastructure to the future economy and will create much more opportunity and jobs than worrying about them getting a tax break in the interim. Seems like a win win to me.
English
For the record, I don’t have a problem with AI datacenters.
They are critical for our national security, a competitive edge on the global market, and the future of civilization. And current designs are very environmentally conscious with water today, and the environmentalists squawking about gas-fired power plants is no surprise.
I do have a problem, though, with using the people’s tax dollars to fund the bandwagon for a speculative campus with no serious hyperscaler client already involved.

I've read 500+ books in ten years.
Most of them weren't sales books.
The ones that moved my career the most were business books, specifically the ones that taught me how CFOs think about capital allocation, how CEOs prioritize competing initiatives, and how procurement evaluates risk on a large purchase.
Every rep who focuses exclusively on sales methodology is missing half the job.
Your buyer isn't a prospect sitting across a table from you.
They're an executive managing political pressure from their board, a budget with ten priorities fighting for the same dollars you want, and a career that goes sideways if they back the wrong decision.
Read business books.
Close bigger deals.

@HardikaInvests @alexandraandnyc This chart is either incorrect or means a democrat should never be in office. There is never a time where a democratic President Policy has made future economic policy better for the stock market to reflect it? Also, we don’t think ai economic data is a big reason for gains now?
English
These are the only two charts you need to look at right now to understand markets.

@Savageboston I like it more than Max because he played in the same conference was named the best left tackle in the conference. Similar athleticism and physic with plenty of upside at 21 years old. Also, is more of a known commodity with over 22 starts in College. Very lucky to get him at 28!

Government doesn't create wealth.
It redistributes it.
Usually badly.
Usually to friends.

@chrispisarski I would say that is all noise that wont move the needle. No one is reading your one pager. You need your champion to help you understand the company decision dynamics and what each key stakeholder cares about most. Then do what it takes to get them all in a meeting with you.
English
one of the best sales advice we picked up during YC is the "McKinsey Model"
a lot of deals at early-stage startups die for the same reason:
your champion is afraid to advocate for your product
if they push for it internally and it doesn't work out, their job is on the line
so they never come back to you and hit you with the "we need to align internally first"
that's why you need to be their McKinsey consultant: instead of them pitching, you personally take the blame
after every demo, send them:
- a one-pager
- a security doc
- an ROI calculator with their numbers
- useful context/overview of your industry that can help with what they're struggling with right now
- a pre-written slack message they can forward
make it as easy as possible for your champion to forward your material without them feeling responsible for integrating your solution or "fighting" for it

@stevehou @AnnaEconomist But it was always naive to think it would last. History would suggest that. Idealism always sounds good, but not rooted in human behavior.
English
@AnnaEconomist We learned economics in terms of frictionless benchmarks, which the last couple decades of neoliberal economics came increasingly close to resembling.

@DKThomp Does anyone trust survey results anymore? Honest question? Great for headlines though. Definitely a lot of problems in America, but the rest of the world has just as many. Or I would argue they have more.

america's not ok
three separate surveys -- the umich consumer sentiment survey, the general social survey, and the gallup world happiness survey -- all put US self-reported sentiment at record-low levels

@jkimballcook lol you are also leaving out they increased their revenues dramatically by their “prophet” saying part of being worthy for their temples was to pay a 10% tithe of their income to the Lord. Where before the Great Depression, it was just supposed to be a percentage of their profit.

to try to build up a reserve fund that would allow the church to sustainably operate into the future and weather future financial crises, and they have been wildly successful in saving and investing over the past 50 years or so
English
because after the church operated on the edge of insolvency for almost a century after its assets were seized by the Federal government, and high conversion rates in third world nations meant that revenue would not keep up with operating costs, church leaders began to invest 1/

@CoachDanGo Sourdough bread unbleached is the key. Love this list.

@BigBrainBizness She said a “little” annoying emphasis on little. She understands sales. Ultimately if you’re just plain annoying you’re not getting business. The little part is key here though because the uncomfortable zone, but not annoying, is the key to get people to listen to you at first.

Shelby Haas, founder and CEO of She Sells Academy, built her entire career by being "annoying" and says you should too.

@randomrecruiter I will say industrial staffing companies are seeing a pick-up I think this will flow through to services economy by end of year.
English
Want to know how drastically the job market has shifted since the peak of the ZIRP era?
Public staffing companies have lost 50-70% of their stock value since then.
These firms only make money when companies actually hire through them.
Forget the bs inflated job reports, this is the real scoreboard for the hiring market.
