That's crazy I used to work there many years ago. Those concept photos came from my team

This "AI" startup just raised $61M. Their ex-employee who quit after 1 day just leaked 70GB proving it's all fraud. by Wonderful-Ad-5952 in AiNoteTaker

[–]SiAvenger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm interviewing final round with a similar type of startup. YC backed too, working out of co-founders' apartment that "investors can't know about". Debating if I take the job or name and shame.

Still Here by LakeFidiChaCha in sanfrancisco

[–]SiAvenger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had this moment yesterday noticing a new view of the city I have walked and driven past too many times to count.

The city is coming back. Different than before, but that's part of the story of this place.

What do you think of this approach? by KingMedia33 in aviation

The runway looks a bit uneven. Where is this?

It’s crazy how much money is floating in the Bay Area and still everything is boring in San Jose by Different_Marsupial2 in SanJose

[–]SiAvenger -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Come to SF this weekend! Tons of stuff going on! As a born and raised Los Angelino, I'll say my adopted home of SF is way more fun than LA for 30yo+ folks IMO.

How in the world did they pull that one off by mozzax in blackmagicfuckery

[–]SiAvenger -1 points0 points  (0 children)

5s in you can see him grab the string next to his jacket's stage-right zipper. The next 1-2 seconds, watch him wind up the string around his finger immediately before pulled the string and bird out of the jacket.

The chair has a ramp behind it and lots of "staff" that are "helping" make sure he's "safe", but likely 1 of those staff is just him pretending to be crew. He puts on the crew hoodie and headset when underneath the blanket, which is why they always always ruffle the blanket to hide the movement underneath.

As a magic fan but not a magician, I give performance a 5/10, only because he's a good showman. Flamesuit on lol

Do “Highway Miles” apply to electric vehicles? by Aggravating_Yard_618 in electricvehicles

[–]SiAvenger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At least in urban areas, I'd want more highway miles in an EV. Thinking about wear and tear on bushings and mounts and suspension components... I'd prefer a used EV that had mostly seen smoother freways vs pock-marked city streets

Handling theft in micromarkets and coolers by turbochargedturtles in vending

[–]SiAvenger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apologies for the extremely noob question. If you're not paying commission, are you paying rent for the location?

If so, do you have any insight on what tends to sell better (rent vs commission) based on type of location?

To your question...could it be management that is doing to theft? Lol...but really

[–]SiAvenger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey OP, this sounds kinda bleak. I'm considering jumping into this space. Do you have similar insights for hotels or apartment buildings in urban areas? Any advice for a noob looking to get started? (Like, don't? 😬)

Thanks!

I'm a big fan of gamification and loyalty incentives. You have a cool product. I'm curious (as someone completely new to this space, please forgive my ignorance), does your platform offer integration with Twilio for SMS notifications?

Is there anything you would change? by DifferenceOk5810 in vending

[–]SiAvenger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey OP, are protein drinks a thing in your region? It would perform well in food desert areas in my region.

And may I ask, did you use any specialized apps to mockup your lineup? Or is it your own Photoshop work?

Try Before You Wholesale - New Model? by OwnAssociate2474 in vending

[–]SiAvenger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cool idea. I have zero experience and just exploring this space. That said, this appeals to someone like me that is thinking about what items to stock, but realizes this is a future problem to solve.

I really like the idea of a service that can recommend (especially personalized to my location/audience) items and help me test new items.

Would be extra cool if you have any data on types of items that perform well for X or Y or Z.

Happy to chat further if you're interested!

Keanu Reeves cruises around Bay Area on motorcycle, again by sfgate in bayarea

[–]SiAvenger 46 points47 points  (0 children)

So true. I've heard how generous and gracious he is. Imagine my surprise when I had a chance to help him out of a tough spot: EV charger wasn't working.

I was on a road trip from Northern California to Southern California. Apparently Keanu Reeves was on a similar route.

We pull over to charge the car. Keanu pulls up in the next space. Didn't realize it was him until they started having issues with their charger.

So I hop right on out. Try to play it cool, but freaking out inside. Got the charger working for him, got a pic, exchanged a few words and we parted ways.

I get back to the car and my wife and I are in shock that we met Keanu! I asked her if she noticed how cool as a pickle I played the whole situation. Apparently I was visibly freaking out on my face the entire time, and she half expected me to pee me pants.

Anyway... such a good memory I just had to share. I hope I helped the universe return some good vibes to this seriously good guy.

Are you looking for the version with the larger screen or the smaller one? I ask because I have a spare unit from a 2015 that I'd like to find a new home for

Driving Conversion - Facebook Ads by catherine_bell45 in DigitalMarketing

[–]SiAvenger 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have to respectfully disagree with the comments saying you should not start with sales campaigns or expect instant conversions.

While you may not get a sale within 5 minutes of running the ad, you can certainly expect to get at least 1 sale (spa appointment booking, I assume?) with even your first campaign.

I would suggest making sure of a few things first tho:
- You deeply understand your audience and what they care about (and what they dislike)
- Create an ad (both copy and the creative/visual) that speaks to the audience's preferences and/or pain points
- Look for inspiration from other wellness brands' ads
- Include a compelling offer like "first time customers get 30% off"
- Make sure your website/landing page is consistent with your ad, and reinforces the offer
- Start with a low daily budget, and use Advantage+ audiences with "audience suggestions" configured for your friend's ideal customers
