Thanksfully engineering is soo much better, SW being the best to work in. As long as you can stay away from incompetent middle managers

8th does resonate with the bad habit of new founders to spend their time on the visible — fundraising (unfortunately, because in SV hiring capital constitutes actual sales?) — as opposed to working on product (so that their schlep can bring some return on the equity purchase) I’d say the 5th (esp. comparison to archies) is also relevant as well as the various instances of “exec” ie the partners [9th on the guardian m…
5th ties directly with the japanese 3 pwns — should I try to find a more STEMmy* way to rephrase them? On 9C and 9D: the prussian model used to be that when taking strategic decisions, the most junior officers would make the first proposals, and then they'd go around the room and finish with the most senior officers. This has the advantage that it allows for early brainstorming, and trains the juniors to think in ter…
speaks directly to development of Human Capital (as the rest of the Law speaks to the potential rapidity of its loss); oddly enough the showrunner agrees with the vice admiral: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41144977
(each on the hook for the education of the next is also a pattern in Jacobs' The Economy of Cities: when a city has added enough new export Know-how[0] to replace some of its old Know-how with imports, that is not only good for the city itself, but also provides the chance for some other, less developed[1], city to learn how to export these fresh imports — and so on down the line)
[0] forgive me for using the german word; it's three syllables shorter.
[1] we once had domestic textile factories; in my step-father's time we were exporting textile machinery to factories in the States; in my wife's student days the machines went to Turkey (as it was then) instead.

(Thats how we get distracted from discussion of designori,strategy,tactics,DDJ,shamans?)
Lmk of any specific questions you might have
[PG is interesting as lowland scottish SIGINT is surprisingly far from the “norwegian” style of “rational inattention”, IMHO, with regards to secrecy esp.]
[one observes, not tangentially, of Veblen’s meandering elocution vs PG’s plain prose]

I wasnt sure if you’d agree with me that the ideology of meritocracy is at the heart of the issue.. K-H management may be the thread unifying Veblen vs Romer, but i dont think either has really nailed the (Midwestern postNietzsche “ascetic protestantism”) SIGINT aspect behind it all (veblen has stalked it with the evolutionary instincts tho, same for Orwell in 1984?)

[TBV and PG are separated both by a century and by EMH]
Where does lowland scots come in? (I had thought this might refer to PG, due to "Bonnie Dundee", but ere Mons Meg and her marrows spake twa words or three, a few clicks leads to a background closer to the daffodil than the thistle: http://cdn.ans.org/about/presidents/docs/john-graham-nn-arti... )
EDIT: ah, there are ancestral links: mentions of kilts and an epigone "Ian Angus"...

EDIT2: heavily on one side of the ceremonial/instrumental spectrum, some very neo (2012) Edwardians: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=avuYx-rjXmk&t=34s (looks like the US Army got rid of "caissons", lyrically at least, in 1956, but here the RHA is still pulling them, in front of the limbers, in the XXI)

My bad, I'd thought the lowland scots had all the industry (certainly all the equestrian statues!) and the highland were the rustics (with a smattering of London escapees)?
[some were only rusticated]
