to anyone that is interested in Tolkiens drawings and especially calagraphie I can really recommend his book "Letters from Father Christmas"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Father_Christmas_Letters

it contains letters he wrote to his children posing as "Father Christmas" for them.


exactly. Steer assisting and active safety features are standard features for every upper class car you buy today.


they obviously want to get a good ROI on their stock holdings and try to convince potential buyers that the company is amazing and just held back by their CEO (which definitely is not the only problem that Peloton has)


Yeah. The problem is that the deck makes a more convincing case that the company is badly run than that Disney might get value from acquiring a loss making niche hardware company to distribute its content...


It makes the assumption that a buyer could run it more successfully. Which I think is fairly reasonable.


There’s a lot of room to be more successful and still lose money.


I think it's reasonable to assume it could be better run (apparently the CEO, who's since stepped down, agrees!) I think the list of putative buyers who ought to be interested in it as a premium strategic acquisition is stretching it a bit.


"healing" might be the most fitting description I could come up with as well for the effect his movies have on me. there is just something very special about his depiction of the world via animation. and if you look at his story boards you will also immediately notice that it's truly his vision which drives these movies and makes them so special. it's no reproducible. truly one-of-a-kind and a generational talent.



Completely agree. It's always nice to give back to the community, but nobody will bat an eye if you cover your costs.


on top of that you will also filter out applicants who show some red flags when they not immediately know the answer to a problem. it's absolutely okay to not know everything. but there is a huge difference in how people communicate their lack of knowledge.


This is probably also down to your character. When I was working as a consultant for a big SaaS company I felt like the occupation really attracts a certain type of overly confident people who also like the attention. I'm 100% sure that everybody there had these blank spots in their knowledge which would potentially result in feeling stressed or dishonest when talking to the customer. Some people are just better selling their blank spots.


Yeh, could well be it. I'd like the be a consultant of course but I don't think Im the kind of person to be able to sell other people on my abilities before I sell myself on them. Credit where credits due to those who can though


Important thing to remember is that blank spots only last as long as you want them to!
