I recently met with a founder of a ‘remote’ co.
He was in Boston ‘on boarding’ a new employee. For every new hire, he and his co-founders get on a plane and spend a week with them. They learned this from @zapier.
What other tactics are people using to build remote companies? – at Manhattan, NY

Today one of my dreams come true: using a 6dof VR headset outside with no PC, no cables!

The X factor: When I was an undergrad at Kings College Cambridge, Les Valiant who won the Turing award in 2010 lived in the adjacent room on X staircase. He just told me that Turing lived on X staircase when he was a fellow at Kings and probably wrote his 1936 paper there!

20 people arrived for a meeting at our office in Copenhagen today. They filled up less than one spot for car parking. Imagine how much space in our cities we could use for urban life and people if we had fewer cars and less car parking! #bicycleurbanism
