“Get me” - J Mascis

I love watching projects unfold, particularly the agile ones, that involve everyone from our designers to developers to the community team all the way down to our wonderful users.  hayekd: vimeo: Did you know we have a whole page showing you the exact settings to export your video to before you upload it to Vimeo? Well we do, and we also have video tutorials showing you every step in 23 different video editors!  If you’ve never exported a video from an editor, it’s time to step yo game up. This is how to get the best-looking videos on Vimeo. Go to vimeo.com/help/compression Hats off to Sam, Mark, and Emily. They did a wonderful job on this. It’s a pretty dry subject, I’d rather watch videos than talk about compression, so hopefully with these guides you can get back to watching sooner.

Amazon.com's shareholder meeting

  • Shareholder: Amazon seems to be executing well lately — is the company taking enough risks? If it’s still Amazon’s philosophy to make bold bets, I would expect that maybe some of them wouldn’t work out, but I am just not seeing that. So, my question is where are the losers?
  • Bezos: If you place enough of those bets, and if you place them early enough, none of them are ever betting the company. By the time you are betting the company, it means you haven’t invented for too long. [...] We are stubborn on vision. We are flexible on details…. We don’t give up on things easily. [...] A big piece of the story we tell ourselves about who we are, is that we are willing to invent. We are willing to think long-term. We start with the customer and work backwards. And, very importantly, we are willing to be misunderstood for long periods of time.
