I raised four. What worked for some didn't work for others. Some need yelling at, others need encouragement. You are doing your best, all the while confused by the BS, same as they are.

Temp to hire is always an option. It helps the candidate with experience, and gives them some leverage when it comes to other job interviews. For the young, seeing how a company works from the inside and navigating politics is valuable. Always a great feeling to get a paycheck vs. being constantly broke.

At that particular time after take-off. I was listening to NPR story this weekend. Airline investigator was talking about how after a particular velocity on the runway, the jet must take off there is no room to abort. The plane in question was past that point and in the air. Also known that the jet could not get lift from gliding, i.e., one engine has to have fuel to get lift. Why allow both fuel switches to be shut off at this point? Surely modern craft has so many safety lockouts yet not this one.

Wouldn't it be more efficient to coast (as in neutral) in the downhill sections, versus doing the work to put energy back into the battery?

"ay carumba!" - what's the big deal.

But, maybe it's encouraging there's tons of money out there desperate for ideas.

weird that a US agency charges another list/retail prices. Why no discount?

Yes, this is my experience also, AI will help you tackle something you might not have attempted on your own because you didn't know how to begin. But once you see a good example (geared toward your own goal) you can see how to finish it off.

I also think of AI chats as very socratic, it's really about the quality and refinement of your questions. The AI dialog or conversation is how you refine what it is you are asking. Once you get to that good question, AI will get you a good answer for it.

not to mention the tv/movie tie-ins and advertising.

Great line from a great movie.

Is that there are so many to choose from.

You can already just ask your favorite AI "get me a recipe for X" or "give me a recipe for these ingredients". Next, whatever that kids idea was, again, user could just go to one of the AIs and ask it directly. Don't need the kid, don't need the website.

Cmon people.

nice one! Where are those damn mod points when you want them . . .

exactly. He's basically a hyperactive 6 yr-old, gonna hold his breath. Mum and dad play along because there's less drama that way.

Their model looked solid, early investing rounds were euro based, then they got Silicon Valley money from Sequoia. They were on a solid path any startup would be jealous of. Problem to me is that Klarna doesn't scale for people who know how to be responsible with money. Their risk assessment probably counted on this to balance out the early user risk-profile.
