I'm not sure that applies to startups in growth mode, but as a general savings principal - I like it.


I haven't worked in non profits but I imagine these techniques work in most industries, as they're based on scarcity which influences most of us.


You're right and H1B transfers are easy and would only scare off an inexperienced employer. I moved jobs twice on a H1B without incident, even though one of my employers tried to make it an issue. I'd suggest the generally precarious immigration status of visa holders in the US contributes to this myth.


It looks like the paper says they were given 3mg/kg THC per day for 5 consecutive days. So it does seem the dose is specified.

It's pre clinical and far from surprising but 3mg/kg is a lot of THC, the equivalent of using ~1g of strong stuff by yourself (assuming no THC is lost during consumption).


After looking up the potency of currently popular edibles, the highest dosage I could find per item was the Cheeba Chew Deca Dose(http://www.cheebachews.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/deca_1...) @ claimed 175mg of THC per piece (actual was 162.1). As far as I know, this is a heroic dose of THC of which the typical user would not frequent. In order to match the dosage within the mice, I'd have to eat just over 6 of these per days for a working week to produce the same results (obviously without comparing intake medium).

I understand this was to attempt to see if there were any issues that should be researched further, but the Ars article took it at face value and claimed we should (as humans) avoid during pregnancy.


Yeah I found that- but they never stated dilution amounts or total fluids given to the mice on those days, unless they mentioned it elsewhere.


We see this use case a lot, inbound lead gen via text is very effective.

We also offer voice on SendHub, so you can get calls on the number too. I believe we're unique in offering both those services on toll free numbers too.


I keep dreaming of the day I can order my Starbucks by text before I go pick it up. Same for everything I order. I would text any business before I pick up the phone and call them or launch Gmail.


I also like keeping my personal and professional lives separate. However, there's a lot of times where texting is more efficient than email in the workplace and we've found that businesses communicating with a lot of people - like on demand companies - need more powerful tools.


The gap between 'yes' and money in the bank, is why so many people have trouble with this, imo.


Good call, adding to the list.


I agree, we've never closed 100% of yeses. However, dragging it out with one of those investors, assuming they refuse to say no is worse for them imo as it creates a clear paper trail of bad behavior which hurts their reputation.


This is true, investor and for that matter 'executive' lock-in is significantly more substantial than an individual contributor, and so (rightly so) is the investment to return. It's an interesting paradox. Reputation matters.


But a longer a timeframe where? I think waiting on signing docs after agreeing to them is far from ideal, same goes for waiting on wiring the money, unless agreed in advance.
