outsize

And if you've got outsize scaling requirements, you are going to have to get your hands dirty.

And in a classic Ponzi scheme, the mechanism is the same - the bottom feeds the top, so people think that there are outsize gains to be made. Those gains evaporate once new entrants slow.

Try and get through the red tape at the VA and then tell me how you feel about the outsize effect that the veterans are having on the benefits debate.

Realistically, just removing the outsize subsidies driving has had for generations would be seen as an "attack" on the American way of life. Doesn't mean we shouldn't do it.

What about marketing and the outsize influence it has on culture? Companies don't just passively follow markets, the biggest ones use advertising to actively create them.

Regardless of how many trips they make within an electric vehicle's range, they will place outsize importance on edge cases. And between range and recharge times, I really can't see all-electric cars taking off among that group.

Despite the outsize logistics costs associated with doing so, the company still manages to make money selling it for only a couple bucks a bottle.

That's a good ad at work: not necessarily at the obvious level - people seeing it on a Spanish street - but nonetheless creating outsize value for the client.

I'd love for my house to produce its own electricity so that I could fire the power company, but until that seems easy and cost-effective enough, I pay for power because I think the money I spend gives me outsize benefits. Same with my employer paying me.

Similarly, if the mutual fund guys take outsize risks by investing in high beta stocks & they end up on the wrong side of the trade, the funds would be unable to attract any investor interest in the future. Even a tiny 1% return over S&P is huge for mutual funds.

The US has an insanely outsize prison population. It didn't get that way without people being arrested by a growing army of militarized police, and, in most cases, plea bargaining with an aggressive prosecutor.

This is welcome from Google, as focused aid of this sort can often have an outsize effect, but we must be careful to avoid believing this can solve the problem. For one, sophisticated UAVs that are much more capable than those the WWF is getting are already being used to combat rhino poaching.

Ms. Hornstein made herself a relatively easy target of suspicion, what with the photoshops and outsize claims; it almost sounds like she had delusions of grandeur. Compare that to sociopaths who deceive intelligently and play dirty games to climb up - they're much harder to catch or stop.

Or maybe there's some signaling you can uncover that shows lower-valuation companies tend to outperform those that receive outsize seed valuations. But it will be something like that, not, respectfully, a series of allusions to careers and spouses and draft horses and whatever else it was you said.

This illustrates why industries are often keen to socialise: they can guarantee outsize personal success. What our system absolutely rewrites is radical dissolution.

But what really needs to be addressed is the fact that employee startup equity rarely produces the kind of reward that one would expect it to given the outsize attention that is paid to it. Sam writes: > As an extremely rough stab at actual numbers, I think a company ought to be giving at least 10% in total to the first 10 employees, 5% to the next 20, and 5% to the next 50.

Lets not let YO be representative of what investors, entrepreneurs, developers and technologists are doing as a whole, despite its outsize media coverage. Lets remember that quirky, weird, seemingly useless things like YO can still put a smile on someones face, even if it didnt solve any of society's problems.

While people can be mean anywhere, seems like there's a certain confluence of characteristics and circumstances that allows "jerks" to have an outsize place in the tech industry. But I suppose to look on the bright side, I'd rather have somebody be a jerk to my face, even if it is subtle and insidious, than have them pretend to be my buddy and then stab me in the back.

And, like the tax breaks to encourage people to buy the very cars the government was helping pay to produce, the idea is to help kickstart an industry that might not have the differential to self-start, but has the potential to eventually be self sustaining and bring outsize benefits compared to the investment. Basically the same reason we fund basic science research as well.
