I need someone in the CoS/BizOps role who’s scrappy & hungry. You need to be in the office everyday and willing to learn all aspects of the business. Unbelievable opportunity for future founders. DM me if interested:

My US visa story: 2005: J1 visa ends, forced back to Kyrgyzstan. 2015: Graduating Harvard Law School, H1B issues, forced move to London. 2018: Offer from top US law firm, great salary, work visa issues (again). That's every immigrant's story. That's why I'm building Alma.

US children of the 80s/90s: Do you remember watching the Olympics as a child, having an enormous sense of US pride? The medal counts, "proud to be an American", all of that? Does this still exist today? Or did this never really exist at large scale, just in my little head?

Can anyone explain to me why in this age of “inclusion” that the Olympic rings are only 5, and not 6 (since you know, Australia continent matters)? (Or 7 to include Antarctica, if you really want to be “inclusive”)

Katherine, this is good callout on a totally separate issue The US is overmedicating kids for no real reason. I too had what is now called ADD. But it’s absolutely helped me succeed I cannot fathom drugging young kids en masse, seems totally wrong

"In 2003, Hugo Chavez capped the price of food. Supermarkets couldn't charge people more than a certain amount. Started with basic foods, sugar, milk. Goal was to make food cheaper for Venezuelans. But there is a reason price controls are bad economics." npr.org/transcripts/70…

So what happens when you price control goods below their market clearing price in an already very low margin business? Irrelevant?

Hi everyone. A little bit of personal news. After 8 years, I’m returning Udemy with an operating role as CTO. Udemy is my first baby. It has a special place in my heart and I was always on the board so never disconnected from the company.
