@eurofounder Four days workweek would solve this! Was she in unions?

I had to fire my best sales person today She was excellent at her job and brought millions in revenue But I discovered she did something truly horrifying She was contacting clients without double opt-in GDPR consent forms I confronted her in my office immediately "Oh it's nothing, it's standard practice in America" she said That was all I needed to hear from this disgusting woman I fired her on the spot and clawed back her last 3 months of salary as punishment Luckily I already found her replacement My wife's new boyfriend Luigi just completed his third master's degree in Business Ethics He starts in October after his mandatory 16-week summer holiday Sometimes a problem solves itself for the better

you need to be delusionally optimistic negative thinking poisons your brain and leads to congitive decline whereas positive thinking, and gaslighting yourself into thinking everything is amazing, ACTUALLY makes your life amazing too. you must be a silly goose

Teachers average among the least intelligent university graduates. Little of what they 'learn' is even relevant to what they end up doing. In a given year, the lowest-scoring groups on the GRE, SAT, and ACT are usually those pursuing degrees in education.

The most successful European startup journey: 1. Have an idea 2. Get six co-founders, ideally in their 50s 3. Spend four months to set up a legal entity 4. Apply to Y Combinator, get rejected 5. Write angry LinkedIn post about tech bro culture in the US 6. Raise €50k for 75% equity from top European VCs 8. Do external GDPR audit before users sign up 9. Co-founder leaves to do a second PhD 10. Apply for an EU grant 11. Move headquarters to Estonia for e-residency 12. Launch product, get four users 13. Pivot to sustainability consulting 14. Become the AI innovation advisor to EU Parliament Silicon Valley simply cannot comprehend what we are building here

Kristiina Sasínek Mäki, presidents Petr Pavel and Alexander Stubb, and Finnish footballer Kaan Kairinen went for a run today. Just wow🫡😊🙌

这个 芬兰饶舌歌手的MV 在英推已经传疯了，估计还有很多人没有看过。一镜到底，没有任何技术，但整个MV就是一个编舞和审美与执行的炫技。 我太喜欢了！特别是那些 AI 东西看多了，审美疲劳，看见这种人类的创意加执行出来的精品，那种张力就忽然让我意识到，很多事情机器真的替代不了。

Some typos better not happen. "Will you be back for lynch?"

Some good ones here :)) If "Brexit" happened in other countries, what would they call it? (by reddit user u/bezzleford)

Un turista se puso a jugar competencia de figuras con toallas con los empleados de un hotel en su vacaciones y lo registró en un video. Espectacular .

1960s Czech movies are crazy, as well as crazy good. Here's a few I've seen that YOU ought to watch as well: Fantastic Planet (1967 Franco-Czech co-production; better science fiction film than any anime I've seen) Prague Nights (1969) horror/fantasy anthology Invention For Destruction (1958) the most amazing "animation" I've ever seen, based on a strange combination of cardboard cut-outs, stop-motion, and live-action. Everyone ought to see this. The trailer is shown below. Also, Karel Zeman, the director of Invention For Destruction, did a bunch of other crazy fantasy movies all worth watching. One's about some boy scouts who sail down a river into the past and meet prehistoric monsters.

Finland is ranked the happiest country in the world. It has strong unions, top-ranked pensions and universal health care — despite spending far less than the U.S. What lessons should Americans take from the Finnish model? twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

I think Pico, Meta, and YVR are all taking their next thin and light premium headsets in the same direction. They are basically iterating on the Vision Pro approach, with a clear focus on making it lighter and cheaper. That part makes sense. The real challenge is pricing. How do you get people to accept $1,500 or more? This is not just a more expensive headset. It is a new price band, and it has to be a new premium line with a clearly higher standard. A big part of the cost increase on this route comes from moving to micro OLED displays. micro OLED is a major technology upgrade, no question. The problem is that it cannot carry the entire value proposition on its own. If the only obvious difference is sharper visuals, people will still walk away thinking it is basically a higher spec Quest. And Meta has already anchored VR and MR pricing at $200 to $500 with Quest. In that context, asking for an extra $1,000 just does not land. To truly earn a $1,500 plus price point, the upgrade has to be end to end. Hand and eye interaction has to feel effortless and instantly responsive. The OS needs to look and feel premium. Build quality, fit and finish, and every small detail has to feel unmistakably elevated. Users should try it once and immediately know this is not in the same class as Quest. That is how you build a real premium series. Otherwise, if it is mostly a parts upgrade, people will see it as a Quest with a nicer spec sheet, and sales will be ugly.

If your research output is mostly running some regressions over third-party cross-sectional data, pumping your lit review for all it’s worth, floating some causal words into the title, and calling it good, then you should be very, very worried by agentic change. But let’s be honest, that was never really creating much in the first place. And yes, substantial portions of whole disciplines meet the definition above.

Due to weather, we now plan to fuel our Artemis II Moon rocket on Monday, Feb. 2, at Kennedy Space Center in Florida. With this adjustment, the earliest possible launch date is Sunday, Feb. 8. A launch date will be set after teams have reviewed the results of the wet dress rehearsal. Read more: go.nasa.gov/4rrJ9Xc

@Czechnology :) , jo, strasne specificky. Ale koukni sem: x.com/MichaelAArouet…

🇨🇿 To by u nás nešlo. My jsme specifický trh. Taky tu máme kopce a občas zimu. A nejdřív se musí dostavit okruhy.

If you do not believe in the inflation of higher ed degrees check this out: There are people with IQs below 90 earning PhD. As IQ < 85 marks borderline mental disability, PhD degrees no longer indicate superior intellectual capacity or advanced skills needed on the job market 👇
