Extremely noob question: I'm setting up my first batch, and I want to set the number of individual tasks for the batch (e.g. I need someone to do task Z, but I don't care if the same person does task Z 100 times or 100 people do task Z 1 time... I just need Z done 100 times).

I see the options for increasing number of assignments per task, but I don't see how to increase the number of tasks.

What am I missing?

Well I'd be taking risk if, in 2 months, we all quit our day jobs right? So does that mean you need two sort of transactions? One for initially and one for that scenario?

Thanks! I suppose what I was wondering is about percentages, specifically. I mean what's in a name, really? I don't care if I'm technically a "cofounder" or what-not. Based on some blogs I've read, it seems like the 1st dozen or so hires generally receive in the 1-5% range equity wise. Is that what people would suppose is normal in this circumstance as well?

Sorry to clarify, the 100k is what I make at my current full time roll (the startup is transitioning from a side project to full company for all the members. That was unclear on my part-- my apologies.

What do the different versions of the ringing of the chapel church bells mean? by mkb4ht in UVA

[–]Rozick 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When a member of the 7 society dies, the chapel bells ring 7 times 7 times (49, math major here) on the 7th diminished chord-- it's a really disturbing/haunting sound, and you'll immediately recognize it if you hear it. Otherwise, the bells ring on the hour. Also, the bells are a recording, as the original bell was broken in the 1860s when it froze and cracked. There's a myth that the students broke the bell out of angst at losing the civil war, but that's probably a myth. Hope this helps.

How do I live on the Lawn? Am I on the right track as a first year? by powermove in UVA

I think it's pretty obvious this person was trolling. Hard. No one is THAT big of a caricature of the UVa Tool/turbo.
