I’m not sure what’s so special in Oregon’s ballot boxes. But, tampering that is detected (don’t need much special to detect a burning box I guess!) is not a complete failure for a system. If any elections were close enough for a box to matter, they could have rerun them.
This looks really nice! I'm not a bookseller so I can't speak to the value props, but it's clearly coming from a well-informed position based on your background.
The interaction is really great and I love the premise. But it seems to be missing a huge amount of information from pre-1000BC that gives the impression nothing happened/there are no people there.
I can't speak to international arrivals (though I can to the rest of the airport, it's gorgeous), but while PDX is international it only has 5 direct international flights other than Canada. Hardly going to be the focus of the airport.
I suppose with such a large investment though, they'd want to plan for that possibly changing eventually, no? I'd be flying from/to Canada anyway, but if it was a viable and better option compared to others like SF, they'd get my business instead, not that there's much business to give
At 2.5M people, Portland, Oregon metro probably cannot support many international routes (except Vancouver). And it has very few businesses that would necessitate international business travel.
Maybe a flight to Japan, London, mainland Europe, and Mexico.
Congrats on the launch. As someone who has dealt with early lead-gen at multiple startups, I'd say it's 50% finding the right company and 50% finding the right person at that company. Especially when there isn't already a network connection.
Absolutely. Some users find that the person search component can be an additional layer when selling to larger enterprises with multiple decision-makers and budget holders. Deploying our tooling towards champion search within orgs is definitely on the radar as we look to help with that other 50% of the problem. Right now, users do that with just Job descriptions and keyword searches when adding a column for Employees.
You can add employees by clicking on the far right of the table to add a column, then selecting "Find Employees" and adding as many relevant keywords and job descriptions as you need.
Whenever I read about why Agile is bad and then the inevitable comments about how "no, Agile is good, it's just [company/business people/project managers/etc.] implemented it wrong," I'm struck with the similarity of "no, Communism isn't bad it's just that no one has really done it yet."
I've worked for several different companies and several different teams since "Agile" was developed. What I can say is "Agile" doesn't exist: I haven't even seen two teams within the same company doing Agile the same way and referring to the same thing when they say they're doing "Agile."
All "Agile" means at this time is you're not likely to be doing Waterfall, though I'm an old fart and remember Waterfall and I can tell you there are teams saying they're "Agile" and they're actually doing Waterfall. "Agile" is a meaningless word.
And it fails for pretty much the same reason Marx's ideas failed: it may sound like a harmonious utopia on paper, but in practice the whole thing is inherently brittle and unstable and immediately collapses into a maximally malevolent perversion of itself upon contact with humans' tendency to behave like humans, like the sociological equivalent of a prion disease.
Agile tends to fail because all-too-often the team's attention turns to the pomp and ceremony of "Agile" over getting the work done. I've met teams that believe they can wave their magic Agile wand and make the work go away. They tend to get a bit upset when I point out doing that work is your job.
> And it fails for pretty much the same reason Marx's ideas failed
It should be noted that Marx's ideas didn't fail, insomuch as most of his work is a (debatable, but not non-sensical) description of capitalism and its problems.
Maybe you meant some of his predictions, or the future society implementations of other people calling themselves Marxists?
Agile, regrettably, mostly did fail to live up to its promises.
They don't make stacks anymore; these days we have balers (and rollers) and therefore move the food (over km) to the livestock rather than the livestock (over m) to the food.
On a surface level, we're doing a lot of work on UX. We intend the UI to be more presentable and easier to navigate through so that technical users find it easier to use while non-technical users find it more approachable and can more easily find what they're looking for.
In terms of capabilities:
1. We want to merge all data-related features in one place, including BI. That's why you can create and publish dashboards too. It's also why we've been putting a lot of effort into making the no-code visualizations flexible and powerful.
2. You'll eventually be able to connect your own computer to Briefer. That way, you can use your AWS/Azure/GCP credits and your own GPUs if you have already paid for them.
3. There will be a way for you to manage notebooks and dashboards as code if you want to. We love the idea of versioning your notebooks, internal data apps, and dashboards, but we think current tools can't do it well.
There's also a huge change coming up in about 2 months. It'll make it really clear how we're different from Hex, but unfortunately I can't talk about that yet!
