🔗 WWW
There are a lot of links out to different parts of the web on this site. I try to mark them all so they get listed here.
🔗 Robot(taxi)s Are Coming! No seriously!
I love Om’s visual.
🔗 Manton Reece on crap Substack RSS feeds.
Personally not surprised. Isn’t their whole schstick newsletters, email subscriptions and followers, so that the writer knows who is interested in what they produce and how many of them they are? Make the RSS feed too good would undermine all of that .. no?
Winning
In my health fight over the past four years, my oncologist 🔗Pepe Sasso had five rules that he laid on me at the very beginning and kept pushing me every time I saw him - including just a couple of weeks ago. One of two things that I maintain is ‘my secret’. 🔗 This is the other.
-
Exercise
-
Diet/Nutrition to Maintain a Healthy Weight
-
Positive Mental Attitude (the sail of opportunity is always open)
-
Pain Management
-
Good Sleep and Good Sleep Patterns

Perfect application for early Spatial Computing. Whether the app is any good? No idea.

📺 Bad Monkey
Loved it .. hence the ❤️ … love Vince Vaughn .. but something nearly took it down to a like .. can’t put my finger on it. Still worth a watch though.
Bad Monkey on 🔗 Reelgood
Systems of Record are transitioning to System of Compliance while Systems of Engagement are still on the whole being ignored.
🔗 Om on content, it’s as if I wrote it - not with the natural flow of Om - but definitely 🖇️🔎 the subject matter.
🔗 Russian Spies Jumped From One Network to Another Via Wi-Fi in an Unprecedented Hack (Apple News)
I quote for posterity - but unless I’m missing a very subtle nuance of differentiation … ‘yeah - no’
“This is the first case we’ve worked where you have an attacker that’s extremely far away and essentially broke into other organizations in the US in physical proximity to the intended target, then pivoted over Wi-Fi to get into the target network across the street,” says Adair. “That’s a really interesting attack vector that we haven’t seen before.”
🔗 Antitrust Enforcers Block the JetBlue-Spirit Merger
… earlier this year for sure and still I wonder how this gets blocked when Hawaiian and Alaska just merge without so much as a by your leave.
Thank you Google. I don’t care if the government breaks you up or keeps you whole - BUT 🔗 I do care about you continually breaking the Internet.
Please stop doing that.
Sometimes something just hits you … this is one such moment
(It’s) … not that quantum physics has merely superseded classical mechanics, but that a beautiful and strange duality organizes our lives: predictable physics in everyday tools & work, uncertainty at the heart of all things.

It All Makes Sense - until it doesn't. We are passed that point.
A few of today’s reads all came together this morning …
First up (which I am not even going to bother linking to) lead with something like … “how corporations can create emotional connections to their customers at ‘scale’.”
What the fucking what - do not even get me started. Do these people even think about what their words mean when they spew them out?
Anyway - onwards - and as so often happens Hugh over at Gaping Void says it the best …
🖇️ My highlights on the companion article
Meanwhile …
(Talking of ‘creating emotional connections at scale - one of those silent companies that you know the name of - but wonder what they do is Palantir (remember Cambridge Analytics - who paid the price?) .. yeah, Palantir was the ‘power behind the throne’ - who not only avoided paying the price - but have gone on from strength to strength.
Anyway, 🔗 over in Dana land .. he’s looking at the next 4 years - and pointing a very large finger at one 🖇️ Peter Thiel … you know the guy that really runs Palantir (all due respect to Karp), but to remind you who he really is …
The New Zealand Herald did quite a job on that topic - do take a read - eye opening - even if you think you know all about him. (Pro tip - if you have ‘reader mode’ - use it if you really want to read it.) .. and at the end…
According to building consent records, his Queenstown Plasma Screen holiday home last year suffered a serious fire, causing more than $500,000 in damage. Building consents for the repairs filed with the Queenstown Lakes District Council in May show Thiel took this opportunity to rebuild and repurpose a walk-in closet. Plans now describe this nook as a panic room.
.. a panic room. In Queenstown? .. and this is the guy who is quietly influencing the US Govt?
And then there is ‘Ted’s Take’ on the changing nature of communication.
Are we doomed?
I guess not until this happens …
