Kevin Drum just keeps these nuggets flowing daily - multiples of time.

A good(? - not sure that is the right word) list from Kevin Drum.

Eye opening.

‘Storm in a teacup ‘or fallout not yet settled?

At the very least the story reflects poorly on Intuit’s head of communications who clearly doesn’t understand how communication works …

Spent my life connecting dots.

My Speciality Is Generality

🔗🔎 BusinessBytes | 🔗 More

The constant push by ‘Industry’ and as a result - ‘Academia’ to specialize, specialize, specialize has resulted in way too many specialized specialists and very few ‘cloud hoppers’.

Cloud Hopping has always been a differentiator.

I like to think of every organization being a magic box.

  • 3 inputs [I] : people, capital and tangible assets
  • 2 outputs [0] : products and services

The rest is just context.

Occasionally a post on Daring Fireball reads something like this:

After being sold out for months, the upcoming sponsorship schedule at DF is unusually open at the moment—especially this week!

I don’t sell sponsorship, I sell me, but at the highest level we both trade in what we might call perishable inventory;

  • A hotel room not sold on Monday night can’t be sold Tuesday.
  • John can’t sell this week’s sponsorship next week.
  • If I don’t bill today I can’t catch up tomorrow.

I’ll be back with some more thoughts, but for now, I’m just letting this lie.

🔗 You are the center of concentric circles, Mark Dykeman

It’s another one of those Dunbar posts, the concentric circles are so random that I was reduced to asking ChatGPT ..

“What is the difference between a friend, good friends, best friends and close friends?

A less than satisfactory answer, though it did seem to agree with me (and the author) that a ‘Best Friend’ is closer than a ‘Close Friend’. Other than that? Yeah - no.

And the numbers

  • 5 close/best friends
  • 10 more best / close friends
  • 35 more good friends

Why did he bother writing the piece? Why have I bothered commenting on it?
