Aside from the gallon of blood and pound of flesh we'll see called for in the public/political arena, I really doubt there's any viable fix that won't require pilot training. As I …

After observing the iterative process of modeling complex dynamic systems this resonated: >“The point of the story,” Rebonato continued, “is that you always come to data with a str…

I think across the board, Boomers generally haven’t handled the passing of the reins well. This will be a big problem when there are emergency appointments to leadership who haven’…

Unimaginable as this may be, there are trains in Japan sporting green velour seating and wood(?) paneling. They are pristine and glorious-- a far cry from the hard plastics and vin…

I think the biggest reasons WeWork was never a tech company was because they were a real estate company...look at their capital expenditures. Usually, a large part of the ability f…

"Everything is urgent," and "Bypassing process to report issues" I think have roots in an inability to appreciate the "Cost of Delay" (and Cost of Delay Divided by Duration) betwee…

Of course :) Is it a question of perceived value for you vs limited time/friction or something else? Are there any things in your stack you wish were automatic if someone made that…

I'm curious about any sort of struggles you (or anyone else too!) run into with deep tool/service stacks like this. I'm currently working on an inbox as an app platform. We want to…

He was ready to retire anyway and I think he's getting out of dodge while the going is good. He successfully launched their streaming service, and if I were him, I'd also want to g…

Oh it gets better: Farallon Capital Management (the company he founded) had a major stake in Kinder Morgan which owned the Trans Mountain Pipeline. KMP owned Trans Mountain until 2…

I'm a little skeptical: I see value in 5G for higher fidelity streaming of many kinds, but they may be over-stating the total economic boost here as the areas of growth being claim…

This isn't going to lend much insight without a distribution by job title/seniority and compositions of the total comp. (As others have already pointed out about RSUs, bonuses, opt…

It makes a lot of sense for Benesse to get into online education, let's see if they can do something that works with Udemy. It might help Udemy as well to get Berlitz co-branding o…

These sort of systems for desk workers is the equivalent of measuring productivity by lines of code. Completely misses the point of generating value.

Logistics is obviously a solved problem by this point, but I'm guessing the underlying cause here may have to do with a talent drain during the preceding overall contraction of the…

The money is great, of course, but a piece of me wonders every time I see this sort of thing if spending time managing these endeavors directly would be more impactful towards the …

Generally, it’s helpful to follow the 80/20 rule and time-box whatever you’re willing to allocate per week and no more. Do this and only the most valuable things rise up. People ha…

I generally agree, however I don’t think we should extrapolate trends in Japanese corporate culture from gaming companies. The origin of most of them are gambling syndicates (if yo…

Nassim Nicholas Taleb would argue this isn’t even relevant: https://medium.com/incerto/iq-is-largely-a-pseudoscientific-...

Interestingly, this feels related to the low levels of entrepreneurship (Japan ranks 4th lowest in the world) https://bradchattergoon.com/japan-and-entrepreneurship-e468a... These …

Are you interested in the decentralized web space? You could join the New Tech Lab discord which is bridged with a slew of servers for communities and projects in IPFS, DWeb, indie…

It’s easy to fall into the trap of thinking a pivot is a failure and therefore bad. What’s important is that by killing an idea, you’re giving yourself a new opportunity rather tha…

I think it's great we're developing this capability, but I prefer the original-- we're seeing the film as it was originally seen then. The captured scene isn't made better by highe…
