• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do companies always need to grow?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I guess it’s mostly because companies that don’t try to grow are eventually pushed into irrelevance by companies that do. So most companies you hear about are growth oriented.

  In some sense it can be good for consumers. If you have a nice idea for consumers, it’s good that you are able to reach more of them or become more efficient in doing so.

  Also, to start a business you need money. You can get money from investors, but they expect either interests on the loan, or that you grow so that their share is worth more. The latter is attractive, because you don’t have to pay interests that can weigh your company down. But then the value of your company is almost defined by it’s potential for growth. If you then decide not to grow anymore, this will tank the value of the company, and you might be stuck with a huge pile of stinking debt.

  This reminds me of the story of engineering students who wanted to test their parachute on the bunny mascot of their department. They threw the poor lagomorph from the top of a building.

  The parachute held, the lil guy’s heart did not.

  Are there really esperato speakers in the wild (not just Duolingo?) It would be a fun language to learn, but if no one speaks i’d rather just get better at german :)

  Those are things that regulate the tension in the overhead cables in train tracks. With the variation of temperature cables tend to contract/expand and this systems allows the cables to do so freely with a constant tension provided by the weights.

  Honnestly those razor-blades are a scam and I spend a lot less money since I switched to safety razors. A bit more technical to use but totally worth it I think
