Statistically, age of the population, smoking, and access to care seems to be the three key risk factors for this virus.

Italy has a problem with all three: a much older population that smokes a lot, and is now completely out of ICU beds to treat these patients.

Jordan Harbinger says he has mostly taken one piece of consumer advice to heart. Food safety lawyer Dennis Stearns buys whole heads of lettuce instead of bags of pre-cut lettuce. A bag of spinach can mix leaves from lots of different plants, lots of different spinach plants, and maybe even different farms. Eating more plants raises the odds that one of them had something bad in it.

One solid head of lettuce is not perfectly safe, because it could have cyclospora in it. A salad from a hundred different heads of lettuce makes the odds a hundred percent greater. A whole head has to be cut, washed, and dried, which means getting out the salad spinner, and the spinner takes up the whole dish rac

On The SaaS Podcast, host Omer Khan says Carrd founder AJ is anonymous on purpose. Khan never gives a last name, because nobody knows it, and nobody knows what AJ looks like. AJ built Carrd, a one-page site builder people use for profiles, portfolios, and selling products, and was still running Carrd essentially alone. A longtime business partner had only recently started helping with moderation, because AJ had no time left. Khan introduces Carrd at about $30,000 in monthly recurring revenue and already profitable.

First, Luis was not making any money of captchas. He was just an academic, happy that someone was actually using his creation. Later, he ended up building a small commercial version of captcha and selling it to Google, a product that became the Google Image Labeler.

By 2006 however, captcha was widely used on the internet, and this time Luis started a massively profitable company called Recaptcha. Every time someone was typing in a short segment of captcha, on the back that action was actually digitizing printed text. Meanwhile, companies like New York Times and Google were paying Recaptcha for every input.

The problem with skipping the early adopters is that you run into a Catch 22. The early majority pragmatists won't buy until they see others like them are buying. They will be happy to meet with you, but they will sap you of your energy and meeting after meeting.

Legacy is what people that don't know you will think about you, after you are dead.

Do your best work, and do it for yourself and nobody else, that's all that matters.

Text messages are king. People get too many emails and phone calls already, but a quick follow up via a text message would get right through! They short, and top of the mind.

Nobody told him that he could still do whatever he wanted to do. He grew up where he had to follow a direction in order to move through the world. The space of creation is limitless.

Price for the amount of time that you are saving the host. Courtland was immediately sold on Bradley's podcast editing services because it was saving him hours every day.

Food by People raised $87, and Bernard Huang is clear that it was not millions. Maciej Ceglowski, founder of Pinboard, was satirizing venture capital. His line was that a founder does not need a VC's money. A founder needs grit, execution, and a little press, and Ceglowski could supply the press. The joke took off on Hacker News. From about 300 applicants he manually picked roughly ten people who might actually build something, Food by People among them, and he sent $37. Andreessen Horowitz added $50. Huang says he was still bullish on real venture rounds and only later understood the whole thing as satire. He and Ceglowski disagreed about that.
