💬 This Morning’s Thoughts About Getting Started
Spotted in WaPo
.. potentially troubling signs, like a recent partnership between DoorDash and Klarna that allows users to pay for meal deliveries in instalments.
I clearly missed that announcement.
- WTF❗️
- potentially❓
3j what are they thinking❓ - did I miss the outcry❓
- did anyone cancel as a result of this predatory behaviour❓
I do like JP’s journies. This one from 2022 - 🔗Thinking lazily about capacity and constraints
An aside. The Beat Generation’s William S Burroughs was a grandson of William Seward Burroughs, the founder of Burroughs Corporation. The author of Naked Lunch is correctly referred to as William Seward Burroughs II, while his grandfather gets called William Seward Burroughs I.

📺 The Big Door Prize ★★★
I started Series 1 when it first came out - and yeah no. Recently at a lose end - and it got beeter - so moved into Series 2, The star count is right.
📺 Your Friends and Neighbours (Series 1) ★★★★
Yeah. Good. Never saw Mad Men - but I like how he can be ‘smooth, suave and sophisticated’ one minute and so ‘quickly’ switch to down and out. It started slow - for me - and towards the end was waiting for the next episode.
Good life lessons thoughts to boot.

About Those PE Companies
If you are a regular reader of this blog - you will know that I am no financial expert. I never even played one on TV - BUT - fascinated by it since the people in finance are (too?) often the one that dictate the funds available to do what I think businesses need to do. Today’s topic - PE. Which is NOT the same as VC. Not at all.
I clearly need to move universes …
At 10 past the hour I got a call from the person I was meant to be meeting ‘on the hour’, to let me know that he was running late.
All is revealed.
Apparently if you delete the space - so the two words run in together.
THEN
Add a space - between the two words.
That fixes it.
A… and you wonder why us ordinary people get confused with ‘tech’.
🔗 Here’s a funny thing. Now THERE’s a funny thing …
(Before you click on the link - where do you think it goes to?)
Friend of mine pinged me this morning re a typo on a web site. Basically two words running in together. likethis.
Checked the issue - yup, so sent it on to ‘flag and fix’ - but issue ‘couldn’t be replicated’.
So I looked again - still there.
Checked it on my Mac, iPad and iPhone - still there.
On my Mac with Arc, Safari, Chrome and Firefox - still there.
Looked at ‘view source’ - not a problem - there were the two words - with a lovely space twixt the two.
Must be a ‘Mac thing’ they said.
My friend who did the original flagging?
YUP. Mac.
So yes, clearly a ‘Mac thing’ - but how to fix it?
Not so clear!

I now have to install Edge for Authenticator to work. Any idea when Apple plans to release an Authenticator App? Or maybe they have?
I am not generally a fan of hip-hop - but I do check in from time to time. I came across this one from mcc@mastodon.social - and just spectacular. It kind of felt to me that he’s channeling Gil Scott-Heron - 55 40 years later. (LATER: Reading more - I realised that the music is from a 2007 album._
Lyrics in the comments - because as MCC wrote in her post
Position paper read through a megaphone. Terrifying, breezy industrial beats and laughing children.
Yes - which sometimes makes it hard to hear the words.

Really like this Car-Free Community. Not Arizona, but the idea.
The host has a nice style. The video is great and some marvellous zingers from interviewees, like
‘when I came back from Tokyo I realised that the way we live in America is just stupid.
