🔗 Sometimes powerful people just do dumb shit

There’s a particular kind of person who can’t accept that story at face value, and you’ve met them. I am absolutely sure of it. They show up in every comment section and reply thread where someone powerful does something that looks, on its face, like a mistake - and their argument always runs the same way: you don’t understand, this is actually part of a larger plan, there’s a strategy here that you and I can’t see because we’re not operating at that anointed and elevated level… They’re the 4D chess crowd.

The Motley Fool asks: Where Will Apple Stock Be in 5 Years? → Not reading this article is probably a wise decision.

I did not expect to see (I wont say ‘read’) an article called 🔗 Jimi Hendrix’s Analog Wizardry Explained in an IEEE site when I ‘feed perused’ this morning - but it does connect.

Hendrix didn’t speak in decibels and ohm values, but he collaborated with engineers who did—Mayer and Kramer—and iterated fast as a systems engineer. Reframing Hendrix as an engineer doesn’t diminish the art.


After 16,000 words it would seem that the answer whether Sam can be trusted sepends on who you ask. Caveat … not read it .. but listened to the Hard Fork interview.

The whole piece is so funny - but I have set it to start at the point where Kevin is talking about a problem that I guarantee has affected you dear reader.
