(The nature of wikis of course - mention it once - out comes a page.)\nSorted - I now have YAML front matter including \u0026lsquo;pstatus\u0026rsquo; = empty, claude, curated . and a few others besides and now bu using Desktop Commander - Claude is filling in the spaces.\nThis means that when you came to my wiki a week ago - basically you got a LOT of \u0026lsquo;stubs\u0026rsquo;\nNow you typically get a page with words and images and links and cross references. All thanks to Claude - and when I have Claude do the writing - I change the pstatus from \u0026lsquo;empty\u0026rsquo; to \u0026lsquo;claude\u0026rsquo; - and as I go forward - as time allows - and I fix the page - well then the page status is changed to \u0026lsquo;curated\u0026rsquo;.\nThis is the kind of stuff that adds real value to what I do \u0026hellip; I have tried to build wikis in the past - and they are HARD. ➕ I wouldn’t have anyone else do it.\nI call that a #WinWin\n",

We\u0026rsquo;ve reached a point where the private sector has generated wealth from previous public research, but seems unwilling to invest in any long-term research itself.

    "text": "There\u0026rsquo;s a disclaimer you see everywhere in investment materials:\n \u0026ldquo;Past performance is not indicative of future results.\u0026rdquo;\n It protects against pattern-matching gone wrong - that is the assumption that tomorrow will look like yesterday because yesterday\u0026rsquo;s data was consistent.\nIn tech we don\u0026rsquo;t have such a disclaimer. But we might well need one. Because as AI increasingly takes hold, the pundits are taking to referencing history:\n\u0026ldquo;The printing press in the 1440s freed information.\u0026rdquo;\n.. it went from scarce and controlled to everywhere. The Catholic Church wasn\u0026rsquo;t happy. Wars were fought. But society restructured around it. Literacy exploded. New professions emerged. The world absorbed it.\n**They forget to mention the timescale. **The press was invented, then the first Bible printed 15 years later. Another 50 years to spread across just Europe. A full 160 years before it finally fuelled the Reformation.\n During the Industrial Revolution around the 17th to 18th century - people moved from farms to factories. Labour patterns inverted. Social structures shattered and rebuilt. Real upheaval. But wages eventually rose. Living standards improved. The world kept going.\nHistory reminds us that the steam engine first appeared in 1712 with another 40 years passing before James Watt refines it for rotary power and another 50 years to get to the first steam locomotive.\n Well - how about electricity - it arrived in the late 19th century, transforming production, communication, daily life simultaneously. Changed when people worked, how they lived, what was possible. Massive disruption. Fundamental restructuring. But humans found new equilibrium. The world was okay.\nAgain. Timescale \u0026hellip; 40 years from Faraday\u0026rsquo;s dynamo to the first light bulb. The first power station served 60 customers. A full 70 years passed before the first 50 per cent of America was electrified.\nSo wheb the pundits say: this AI stuff. We\u0026rsquo;ve been through it all before. We\u0026rsquo;ll be fine. We\u0026rsquo;ll be resilient.\nSuddenly that disclaimer rears its head.\nBecause this time it is different.\nFaster – Previous disruptions took generations to fully absorb. This one is compressing years into months.\nAffects everyone – The printing press needed readers. Factories needed workers. Electricity needed infrastructure. AI doesn\u0026rsquo;t require permission or literacy and it\u0026rsquo;s already everywhere.\nGlobal – There\u0026rsquo;s no frontier to escape to. No place where the old rules still apply. No opt-out.\nIt learns from us. Then from itself. – The printing press was static. A combine harvester does one thing. But this? It learns from what you feed it, then uses that to improve itself, then learns from those improvements. The loop closes. The tool gets smarter while you\u0026rsquo;re still figuring out how to use it.\nNobody actually knows how it works. – You can understand a printing press. You can understand a combine harvester. Even the people building those things grasped the mechanics. But AI? Not even the engineers building it can fully explain why it makes the decisions it makes. You\u0026rsquo;re delegating thinking to something you don\u0026rsquo;t understand.\nIt\u0026rsquo;s adaptive. – Every other technology was fundamentally the same yesterday as today. This one changes. Morphs. Responds. You can\u0026rsquo;t treat it as a fixed tool because it isn\u0026rsquo;t.\n One More Thing Previous disruptions changed what humans did.\nThis one changes what humans think.\n ",

But now \u0026hellip;\n say goodbye\n \u0026hellip; to the 4Ps: Price, Place, Product and Promotion\n say hello\n \u0026hellip; to The 4Es : Exchange, Ease, Essence and Experience\nPrice gives way to Exchange\nNot what you charge. What you trade. Mutual value.\nPlace gives way to Ease\nNot where you are. How frictionless you make it. If engagement hurts, product dies.\nProduct gives way to Essence\nNot what you make. Who you are - through your customer\u0026rsquo;s eyes. Stop second guessing.\nPromotion gives way to Experience\nNot what you say. What they feel. Their perception is your only reality.\nOR You say \u0026lsquo;goodbye\u0026rsquo; to \u0026lsquo;Product Efficient Supply Chains\u0026rsquo; while I say \u0026lsquo;hello\u0026rsquo; to \u0026lsquo;Customer Effective Demand Networks\u0026rsquo;\n(Those are two thought threads of mine that go back to the early oughts and are integral to The Business Equation.)\nWhen everyone can ship code (I know, I know), technical execution becomes table stakes - but I think although Manton\u0026rsquo;s words are different to my words he is recognising the shift that I keep describing \u0026hellip; constraint has moved from PRODUCT to EXPERIENCE.\nSo - back to Manton\u0026rsquo;s list;\n Marketing shapes perception Customer support reduces friction Documentation enables ease (even \u0026lsquo;easier\u0026rsquo; intuitive UI) Building trust demonstrates essence Speed removes barriers to engagement  These aren\u0026rsquo;t the \u0026lsquo;other aspects\u0026rsquo; of running a software business. They are now the primary aspects. Code is just infrastructure. In fact just last week, my friend and partner for the development of the apps we are building said just last week.\n The cost of code might be coming down - but people don’t buy code - they buy software.\n Actually - being who I am I think they are buying what the software will do for them - but that\u0026rsquo;s my marketing lens. What Tony was hitting on is right from th pot of what marketeers used to call \u0026lsquo;Full Product\u0026rsquo;.\nThe 4Ps assumed scarcity of products, distribution and information, whilst the 4Es assumed abundance where engagement is the only moat.\nManton\u0026rsquo;s list is actually part of The 4Es.\n Essence: Building trust (who we actually are) Ease: Documentation + Speed (frictionless access) Exchange: Customer support (mutual value delivery) Experience: Marketing (perception management)  The Age of Engagement isn\u0026rsquo;t coming. It\u0026rsquo;s here. Code is just catching up.\nand clearly - Jimi was way ahead of his time! (But we knew that already.

In short - it is the essential layer that transforms disconnected capabilities into coherent, situationally-aware engagement.\n Scott Brinker writes: 🔗 The SaaS Moats Are Crumbling, but the Opportunity Is Bigger - and I agree - but not for the reasons he lays out.\nI mean he even highlights things I talk about, like\n Context.\n Not just in passing either, the article’s subtitle is\n Context-as-a-Service (CaaS)\n I’ll just let that sit while you think about that for a moment - and return later.\nBusiness are apparently moving on from being\n systems of record\n … with much more \u0026lsquo;relevant\u0026rsquo; thinking \u0026hellip;\n systems of truth or single source of truth.\n Cough - the ‘single source of truth’? New? A branding upgrade? We used to talk about the 🔗 single source of truth when I was part of Oracle - and 🖇️ as I pointed out recently - in my early days at Oracle - I had email - and could not use it to communicate with anybody outside of Oracle that I worked with … so we know that was a looooong time ago.\nAnd systems of truth? Whose truth?\nIf my cell company believes that my primary email is mickeymouse@philpin.com - because when they asked me for my primary email I gave them mickeymouse@philpin.com - that may well be their \u0026lsquo;truth\u0026rsquo; - but it is certainly not mine.\nBut back to ‘context’ …\n Context is different. Context is personal and situational. It’s knowing not just what the data says, but what it means for this marketer making this decision, or for this customer in this moment.\n So why is it a new service? Spoiler Alert. It isn\u0026rsquo;t - unless you are going to add it to a list such as this;\n Buzzword-as-a-Service (BaaS) - The self-aware parody of vendor speak. Synergy-as-a-Service (SaaS) - Corporate nonsense on demand. Disruption-as-a-Service (DaaS) - Generates any pitch deck you will ever need. Oxygen-as-a-Service (OaaS) - Because anything that can be \u0026lsquo;monetised\u0026rsquo; - will be \u0026lsquo;monetised\u0026rsquo;. Innovation-as-a-Service (IaaS) - Outsourcing the very thing you can\u0026rsquo;t outsource - but now you can.   Context is where domain expertise meets operational reality.\n … amongst many other things.\n Truth implies something universal and static — the same for everyone, in every situation.\n It does. That\u0026rsquo;s why even 15 years ago - my mantra was\n  and as for \u0026lsquo;context\u0026rsquo; being new thinking?\nAnother one from the archives\n  ",

This data was accessed in October 2025. Importantly, credit card numbers, passwords, and financial information were not accessed.\n  What we are doing. We have fixed the problem with our system that allowed this to happen. We are conducting a full investigation, and are taking steps to improve our systems and processes to prevent this type of issue from happening in the future.\n  What you can do. We do not have evidence that this information is being misused, but we encourage you to take extra caution with any emails you receive that may be suspicious.\n  This sucks. I\u0026rsquo;m sorry. We will work very hard to make sure it does not happen again.\n  This is one of the reasons I use a different email forevery service I sign up for - so if that email does find its way into unauthorised hands - it is obvious. (So far so good).\nIdentified on Feb 3rd - EMail sent Feb 5th - good\nBUT - this data was accessed in October 2025.\nSo what was going on in October, November, December, January and into February where it was not spotted?\nWho dropped the ball?\n",

Over time I will revisit prior reviews and update.  ★★★★★\tSo Good - A personal favourite\n★★★★☆\tExcellent - well worth a watch\n★★★☆☆\tEnjoyed - recommend\n★★☆☆☆\tNot Bad - 'kinda' recommend - with (many?) caveats\n★☆☆☆☆\tNot for me\n \u0026lsquo;All\u0026rsquo; My Book Reviews\n\u0026lsquo;All\u0026rsquo; My Film Reviews\n\u0026lsquo;All\u0026rsquo; My TV Show Reviews\n",

How about Nick Drake - not to mention no ‘UFO’ - or \u0026lsquo;Duelling Banjos\u0026rsquo;?\nOk - maybe some of these artists … all(?) would have broken through without him - but equally - ‘producer’ doesn’t quite say it.

    "text": "C3.AI, founded by tech industry veteran Thomas Siebel, is in talks to merge with privately held startup Automation Anywhere being reported by The Information.\nWhich got me to thinking - C3 is a dot ‘ai’? When did that happen?\nHeh Claude (because for this I really do not have the time or inclination) …\n“What was C3 before c3.ai - when did it change - wasn\u0026rsquo;t it energy or something?”\n🤖 Claude You\u0026rsquo;re absolutely right! C3.ai has gone through quite the identity evolution:\n2009 - Started as C3, where \u0026ldquo;C\u0026rdquo; stood for \u0026ldquo;carbon\u0026rdquo; and \u0026ldquo;3\u0026rdquo; represented \u0026ldquo;measure, mitigate, and monetize.\u0026rdquo; The original mission was helping companies manage their carbon footprints.\n2012 - Rebranded to C3 Energy after founder Tom Siebel (who previously sold Siebel Systems to Oracle for $5.85 billion) saw opportunity in grid operators and utilities. The company focused on smart grid analytics, using big data and machine learning to analyze sensor data from power grids.\n2016 - Renamed to C3 IoT, signaling expansion beyond just energy into broader Internet of Things markets across manufacturing, aerospace, financial services, and other industries.\n2019-2020 - Became C3.ai to align with the hot AI investment trend (went public in December 2020).\nMe So essentially: carbon/energy → energy utilities → general IoT → enterprise AI. The company clearly adapted as market opportunities shifted and new technology trends emerged. Some skeptics have pointed out that the frequent rebranding feels more like chasing whatever\u0026rsquo;s trendy in the market rather than genuine business evolution, especially given how each rename coincided with emerging tech hype cycles (IoT around 2016, AI around 2019).\n",

    "text": " First couple of episodes and - meh. Even so much as parked it for a looong while - until the other day \u0026hellip;\n  \u0026hellip; and thought to try Episode 3 and it got me. I thought it was only 6 episodes - so binged the next 3 and - I after the rollercoaster - a truly disappointing end. Or so I thought.\n  The ‘next episode’ invite came up - and the next night - followed through - assuming just another episode - have you noticed how odd numbers are appearing in episodes?\n  Long story short - TEN episodes - and the roller coaster of episodes 4 to 6 were nothing compare to 7 to 10.\n  It blurs - but I seem to recall that 8 and 9 were both more than satisfactory endings - but then ….\n  End of ten = END.\n  Except of course series 2 is definitely set up.\n ReelMovies - like music, books, art et al is not a competition. I hate \u0026#39;best\u0026#39; in those terms. So star ratings have always been hard for me. They have to be seen in the context of the reviewer. A ★★★★★ movie in this world is not necessarily better than a ★ movie - it\u0026#39;s just that is how I feel.  ➕\n The inspiration for my ★ rating comes from @derekpeden - thank you sir, modified slightly to accommodate my personal watching habits. If this footer is on one of my book, film or TV reviews - the stars fit the guide above. Going forward - I will append my reviews with this footer. Over time I will revisit prior reviews and update.  ★★★★★\tSo Good - A personal favourite\n★★★★☆\tExcellent - well worth a watch\n★★★☆☆\tEnjoyed - recommend\n★★☆☆☆\tNot Bad - 'kinda' recommend - with (many?) caveats\n★☆☆☆☆\tNot for me\n \u0026lsquo;All\u0026rsquo; My Book Reviews\n\u0026lsquo;All\u0026rsquo; My Film Reviews\n\u0026lsquo;All\u0026rsquo; My TV Show Reviews\n",

Calling a fridge company ‘tech’ is a disservice - particularly since it adds billions to a claim of the NZ tech export story. It lulls the country into a false sense of security - because they are measuring the wrong thing and losing the importance of what is NOT being talked about. We craft our narrative around RoW narrative - ‘look at our SAAS software’ - and should instead be OUR narrative.\nI THINK (but do not know) that this stuff gets mostly pushed by NZ Story - but that might just be be and what I read - the fact is though - it then gets BLINDLY repeated.\nA really good story to explain these nuances and why it is important is a great idea - do we know any tech writers who might want to pick up the mantle❓🤓\n",

I liked how they wove in current events … would love to know exactly how soon after those events were happening that it appeared on the stream.\n Update\nOverall thought it very good. Did my life change after watching it? No.\nHere have been some zingers I saw on series 3 … forget about them … just watch it. It’s television for goodness sake.\nSeries 1 ★★★\n It took me a long time to start for whatever reason - but finished very quickly.\n Series 2 ★★★\n Nothing extra to say.\n Series 3 ★★★\n Nothing extra to say.\n Series 4 ★★★\n The quality continues. It\u0026rsquo;s never been a show I binged - and was late to Series 1 - but it doesn’t ever disappoint - provided we remember it is a TV Show❗️\n ReelMovies - like music, books, art et al is not a competition. I hate \u0026#39;best\u0026#39; in those terms. So star ratings have always been hard for me. They have to be seen in the context of the reviewer. A ★★★★★ movie in this world is not necessarily better than a ★ movie - it\u0026#39;s just that is how I feel.  ➕\n The inspiration for my ★ rating comes from @derekpeden - thank you sir, modified slightly to accommodate my personal watching habits. If this footer is on one of my book, film or TV reviews - the stars fit the guide above. Going forward - I will append my reviews with this footer. Over time I will revisit prior reviews and update.  ★★★★★\tSo Good - A personal favourite\n★★★★☆\tExcellent - well worth a watch\n★★★☆☆\tEnjoyed - recommend\n★★☆☆☆\tNot Bad - 'kinda' recommend - with (many?) caveats\n★☆☆☆☆\tNot for me\n \u0026lsquo;All\u0026rsquo; My Book Reviews\n\u0026lsquo;All\u0026rsquo; My Film Reviews\n\u0026lsquo;All\u0026rsquo; My TV Show Reviews\n",

    "text": "The internet was supposed to celebrate differences. Instead, it\u0026rsquo;s weaponised conformity. We\u0026rsquo;ve narrowed acceptable discourse to a narrow band. A band where ±1 standard deviation seems to be too wide and anything outside the \u0026lsquo;consensus\u0026rsquo; gets you piled on. (Consensus with a very loud and increasingly violent minority.) The phrase vive la différence is nearly extinct in modern English, and it shows. We are not ignorant of diversity - we\u0026rsquo;re terrified of it. So we hide the messy, interesting parts of ourselves and perform an acceptable vanilla version for the town square.\nThe result? A society suffocating under its own self-censorship. The crowd isn\u0026rsquo;t forcing us to conform - we\u0026rsquo;re doing it preemptively, trading authenticity for safety. We\u0026rsquo;ve accepted the bargain that you\u0026rsquo;re either with us or against us, and nobody wants to find out what happens if you dare explore the edges.\nThe road less taken isn\u0026rsquo;t less travelled anymore; it\u0026rsquo;s invisible.\n This prompted on reading Om this morning: Our Algorithmic Grey-Beige World, but it isn\u0026rsquo;t a new theme of mine \u0026hellip; or indeed others \u0026hellip;\n🖇️🔎 Here\u0026rsquo;s a few from the archives.\n",

    "text": " Around 1962, Hunter volunteered for psychedelic chemical experiments at Stanford University, research covertly sponsored by the CIA in its MKULTRA program: other participants included Ken Kesey and Allen Ginsberg. He was paid to take LSD, psilocybin, and mescaline, and then report on his experiences, which were creatively formative for him. After a friend attempted to dissuade him, he said, \u0026ldquo;It\u0026rsquo;ll be fun! I\u0026rsquo;ll take my typewriter and no telling what\u0026rsquo;ll come out.\u0026rdquo; This incident was the first substantial experience any of the Grateful Dead had with psychedelic drugs, and the creative surge he experienced would prove influential on their collective outlook. Around this time, Hunter was briefly involved with Scientology, and also struggled with addiction to methamphetamine and speed, which drove him to move briefly to Los Angeles and then to New Mexico. Some of his hallucinations later inspired his lyrics, such as those to \u0026ldquo;China Cat Sunflower\u0026rdquo;.\n 💬 Wikipedia\n",

    "text": "Cough - is it in fact \u0026lsquo;new\u0026rsquo;?\nAnyway - installed and popped over to a local banking site here in New Zealand and asked Claude \u0026lsquo;what the strategic imperatives of the business at that page are \u0026hellip; It built a plan and asked me to approve - I did - no modifications \u0026hellip;\nBased on my research of ANZ Bank New Zealand\u0026rsquo;s website, their strategic imperative can be summarized as follows: Core Strategic Imperatives:\n  Long-term Community Commitment ANZ positions itself as Aotearoa New Zealand\u0026rsquo;s oldest bank (established 1840, 180+ years) dedicated to supporting Kiwis with their financial goals. Nearly one in two New Zealanders have a banking relationship with ANZ.\n  Digital Transformation \u0026amp; Accessibility They\u0026rsquo;re modernizing banking delivery through digital channels with quick, secure, and convenient options, while maintaining physical branches and contact centers to serve diverse customer needs.\n  Environmental, Social \u0026amp; Governance (ESG) Leadership A major strategic focus is supporting \u0026ldquo;Aotearoa\u0026rsquo;s transition to a low emissions, inclusive, climate resilient economy.\u0026rdquo; Specifically, they aim to help customers reduce emissions and enhance resilience to climate change, with plans to publish Climate-related Financial Disclosures.\n  Cultural Inclusivity \u0026amp; Māori Focus \u0026ldquo;Tākiri-ā-Rāngi\u0026rdquo; is their Te Ao Māori strategy that \u0026ldquo;sets our course as a bank inspired by the hopes and aspirations of all,\u0026rdquo; reflecting the communities they serve through equity, diversity, and inclusion initiatives.\n  Comprehensive Financial Services Offering a full range of products across Personal, Business, Institutional, Funds Management, and Private Banking segments.\n  Community Contribution Making significant contributions through volunteering programs, a Staff Foundation, and strategic sponsorships in the communities they serve.\n  In essence, ANZ\u0026rsquo;s strategic imperative is to be a trusted, inclusive, digitally-enabled bank that supports New Zealand\u0026rsquo;s financial wellbeing while leading environmental sustainability and honoring Māori cultural values.\n Which got me to wondering about the other banks:\n Based on my analysis of Westpac New Zealand\u0026rsquo;s website, here\u0026rsquo;s their strategic imperative: Core Strategic Imperatives:\n Purpose-Driven Mission: \u0026ldquo;Taking Action Now to Create a Better Future\u0026rdquo; This is Westpac\u0026rsquo;s overarching purpose statement that guides everything they do. It\u0026rsquo;s not just about banking products—it\u0026rsquo;s about actively creating positive change for customers, employees, communities, and the broader economy. Customer Financial Security \u0026amp; Empowerment Their responsibility is \u0026ldquo;to support our customers to become financially secure.\u0026rdquo; They aim to help customers manage money well through free financial education, online tools, and workshops. Comprehensive Sustainability Commitment (ESG Leadership) Westpac has embedded sustainability into their DNA with three major focus areas:  Climate Change: Supporting a low-emissions and climate-resilient transition for New Zealand Human Rights: Respecting and advancing human rights across operations and supply chains Natural Capital: Supporting positive outcomes for nature and environmental conservation\nSustainable Finance Innovation Providing innovative financing solutions specifically designed to support a net zero economy, including sustainable equipment finance loans and sustainable business loans. Community Partnership \u0026amp; Social Impact A \u0026ldquo;proud history of working with and supporting local communities throughout New Zealand,\u0026rdquo; with a focus on creating a society where everyone thrives—not just shareholders. Inclusive Financial Ecosystem Using \u0026ldquo;financial expertise to generate positive economic, social and environmental outcomes\u0026rdquo; for customers and Aotearoa as a whole. Large-Scale Economic Impact As a major NZ business with 1.5 million customers and 5,000 employees, they leverage their scale to drive systemic change.  Adding \u0026hellip; Key Difference from ANZ: While both banks emphasize sustainability and community, Westpac explicitly frames their purpose as \u0026ldquo;taking action now\u0026rdquo;—suggesting a sense of urgency and proactive commitment to transformation. Their sustainability commitments (2027 targets) are formally published and tracked through dashboards and regular updates, indicating a more formalized accountability framework.Get notified\n One more - just for kicks\n Based on my analysis of ASB Bank\u0026rsquo;s website, here\u0026rsquo;s their strategic imperative: Core Strategic Imperatives:\n Purpose-Driven Mission: \u0026ldquo;Accelerating Progress for All New Zealanders\u0026rdquo; ASB\u0026rsquo;s fundamental strategic imperative is rooted in the belief that all Kiwi, whānau, businesses, and communities have \u0026ldquo;the right to benefit from progress.\u0026rdquo; This is described as their \u0026ldquo;whakapapa\u0026rdquo; (genealogy/foundation), indicating it\u0026rsquo;s integral to their identity. Three-Stranded Progress Model ASB uniquely frames progress as three interconnected pillars that cannot be achieved independently:  Financial Progress: Helping New Zealanders \u0026ldquo;get one step ahead financially\u0026rdquo; every day Social Progress: \u0026ldquo;Step up when it counts\u0026rdquo; and make a difference in communities Environmental Progress: Care for the planet and empower a sustainable future\nClimate Action \u0026amp; Low-Emissions Transition A major strategic focus is supporting New Zealand\u0026rsquo;s transition to a \u0026ldquo;low emissions, climate-resilient economy.\u0026rdquo; ASB is Toitū Net Carbon Zero certified and actively measures, monitors, and reduces operational greenhouse gas emissions. Sustainable Finance Innovation Developing products and services specifically to help customers with energy-saving electrification and transition toward net zero. They provide financing options \u0026ldquo;designed to make sustainable opportunities commercially viable.\u0026rdquo; Core Values Foundation (Caring, Integrity, Passion, Courage, United) These five values are deeply embedded and guide how ASB works with customers, communities, and each other—reflecting what they see as essential to their identity. People-Centric Culture \u0026ldquo;People are at the heart of everything we do\u0026rdquo;—with 5,500+ staff and over 1.3 million customers, ASB positions its people and their ability to bring their \u0026ldquo;whole selves\u0026rdquo; to work as a competitive differentiator. Ethical Supply Chain \u0026amp; Responsible Business  Living Wage NZ accredited employer Strict supplier standards against modern slavery and child labour Climate impact reduction expectations throughout the supply chain\nInnovation Legacy ASB emphasizes being \u0026ldquo;one step ahead\u0026rdquo; in products and service—tracing this back to introducing internet banking to NZ and creating the world\u0026rsquo;s first digital moneybox for kids. Key Differentiators from Competitors: ASB\u0026rsquo;s unique strategic position:  Uses Māori cultural framing (\u0026ldquo;whakapapa\u0026rdquo;) to ground their purpose, suggesting cultural authenticity Explicitly interconnects the three progress pillars, suggesting they cannot pursue financial gains without addressing social and environmental needs Emphasizes \u0026ldquo;one step ahead\u0026rdquo; positioning—innovation is a strategic pillar, not just a tactic Multi-stakeholder responsibility: Balancing outcomes for customers, communities, suppliers, and employees equally\nThis positions ASB as the most culturally integrated and innovation-focused of the three banks, with a holistic view of progress that goes beyond traditional ESG reporting to make it foundational to how they operate.Get notified when tasks complete or need inputNotify me\n And Finally - Kiwibank - the only bank that is actually a Kiwi bank - the rest all Australian owned\n Based on my analysis of Kiwibank\u0026rsquo;s website, here\u0026rsquo;s their strategic imperative: Core Strategic Imperatives:\n Fundamental Purpose: \u0026ldquo;Make Kiwi Better Off\u0026rdquo; (with explicit 2030 targets) Kiwibank\u0026rsquo;s strategic imperative is uniquely structured around three interconnected, measurable goals:  Tamariki are better off: Ensure all children have access to quality financial education by 2030 Kiwi are better off: Help 2 million Kiwi take action to be financially secure by 2030 Aotearoa is better off: Deliver $2 billion of sustainable finance to improve Kiwi businesses by 2030\n100% Kiwi Ownership \u0026amp; Profit Retention A distinctive strategic differentiator: \u0026ldquo;Every cent of our profit stays right here in New Zealand.\u0026rdquo; This positions profit retention as a core value—profits benefit New Zealand, not overseas shareholders. This is both an ownership statement and a purpose statement. Financial Inclusion \u0026amp; Accessibility  Low-deposit home loans for first-home buyers Partnership with Ngā Tāngata Microfinance to provide interest-free loans for low-income Kiwi Digital banking support for vulnerable populations Resources for those experiencing financial abuse\nPurpose-Led B Corp Certification Unlike other banks seeking B Corp certification, Kiwibank emphasizes this as evidence they \u0026ldquo;put people and the planet before profit\u0026rdquo;—suggesting ethics and sustainability are fundamental to decision-making, not added initiatives. Gender Equality \u0026amp; Living Wage Leadership  First bank in New Zealand to achieve Gender Tick accreditation All employees (including contractors and suppliers) paid Living Wage—a leadership stance on equity These aren\u0026rsquo;t compliance measures but core to \u0026ldquo;uplifting the wellbeing of our people\u0026rdquo;\nSustainable Finance at Scale  $2 billion sustainable finance target for businesses by 2030 Sustainable energy loans for home customers Responsible Business Banking Policy that prioritizes people and planet over profit Partnership with Cogo to help businesses measure carbon footprint\nFinancial Literacy as Generational Strategy Partnership with Banqer reaches nearly 500,000 students, positioning financial education as a societal investment that will create better future customers and citizens. Key Differentiators from Other Banks: Kiwibank stands apart with:  Specificity \u0026amp; Measurability: All three strategic goals have explicit 2030 targets (tamariki access, 2M Kiwi, $2B finance)—this is concrete accountability, not aspirational messaging Ownership as Strategy: The 100% Kiwi ownership is woven into their purpose—it\u0026rsquo;s not just corporate structure but part of their identity and promise to New Zealanders People-First Values: Living Wage for all (not just employees) and Gender Tick accreditation are presented as fundamental commitments to equity, not corporate social responsibility add-ons Generational Thinking: Heavy investment in financial education for children suggests they\u0026rsquo;re building long-term societal and customer value, not just quarterly returns Simpler, More Human Positioning: Where larger banks use sophisticated ESG frameworks, Kiwibank uses simple, relatable language: \u0026ldquo;make Kiwi better off\u0026rdquo;—focusing on direct human impact\nOverall: Kiwibank\u0026rsquo;s strategic imperative is fundamentally about inclusive economic empowerment with measurable impact. They position themselves as the bank that puts the nation\u0026rsquo;s wellbeing (tamariki, Kiwi, Aotearoa) ahead of profit, backed by tangible 2030 commitments and institutional accreditations that verify their claims.\n Based on your values of putting people and community first, here\u0026rsquo;s how I would rank the four New Zealand banks: Ranking (Best to Worst for Your Values): 🥇 1st Place: KIWIBANK - 9/10 Why they win:\nExplicit people-first commitments with measurable 2030 targets (2M Kiwi financially secure, $2B sustainable finance) 100% Kiwi ownership means profits genuinely stay in New Zealand and benefit communities Financial inclusion focus: interest-free microfinance, low-deposit home loans, digital banking support for vulnerable people Living Wage commitment extends to contractors and suppliers—showing values aren\u0026rsquo;t performative Gender Tick accreditation (first bank in NZ)—demonstrating institutional commitment to equity B Corp certification with genuine \u0026ldquo;people and planet before profit\u0026rdquo; framing Generational thinking: Financial education partnerships affecting 500k students\nMinor deductions (-1):\nNewer bank (2002), so less historical track record than established competitors Smaller scale may limit some service offerings\n🥈 2nd Place: ASB - 7.5/10 Why they rank second:\nStrong three-pillar framework: Financial, social, and environmental progress are genuinely interconnected (not siloed) Innovative thinking: \u0026ldquo;One step ahead\u0026rdquo; innovation culture shows they lead rather than follow on values Cultural authenticity: Using Māori concept of \u0026ldquo;whakapapa\u0026rdquo; grounds their purpose in local culture Specific value set (Caring, Integrity, Passion, Courage, United) is operationalized Toitū Net Carbon Zero certified and actively investing in climate transition 1.3 million customers = significant community impact at scale\nDeductions (-2.5):\nLess explicit about financial inclusion/accessibility for vulnerable populations Targets feel less concrete than Kiwibank\u0026rsquo;s (more aspirational than measurable) Emphasis on innovation occasionally overshadows community-first messaging Part of larger CBA Group (Commonwealth Bank Australia), meaning some profits leave NZ\n🥉 3rd Place: WESTPAC - 6.5/10 Why they rank third:\nUrgency in messaging: \u0026ldquo;Taking action now to create a better future\u0026rdquo; shows genuine commitment Large-scale impact: 1.5 million customers and 5,000+ employees means significant economic footprint Solid sustainability framework: Climate change, human rights, natural capital pillars are comprehensive Community partnerships with genuine depth (volunteering programs, Staff Foundation) Sustainable finance solutions for net-zero economy\nDeductions (-3.5):\nGeneric corporate responsibility language—less distinctive than competitors No B Corp certification or equivalent third-party verification of claims Sustainable investment policy focuses on investment returns as much as impact Targets are vague (\u0026ldquo;support transition,\u0026rdquo; \u0026ldquo;positive outcomes\u0026rdquo;) vs. Kiwibank\u0026rsquo;s specificity Large Australian parent company (Westpac Banking Corporation) means profits flow offshore Less emphasis on systemic financial inclusion or accessibility\n🏅 4th Place: ANZ - 5.5/10 Why they rank fourth:\nLong heritage (1840): 180+ years serving communities creates credibility Scale and breadth: Largest by customer base (nearly 1M), significant employer, major taxpayer Te Ao Māori strategy (\u0026ldquo;Tākiri-ā-Rāngi\u0026rdquo;) shows cultural commitment Some good initiatives: Climate financial disclosures, ESG focus, diversity emphasis\nDeductions (-4.5):\nMost generic articulation of purpose and values among the four No specific targets or measurable commitments (unlike Kiwibank\u0026rsquo;s 2030 goals) No B Corp certification or third-party values verification Financial services focus (KiwiSaver, investments) somewhat disconnects them from accessibility-first positioning Australian parent company (ANZ Group) means significant profit leakage offshore Less distinctive on financial inclusion or community-first positioning ESG feels like compliance box-ticking rather than cultural integration Longest history sometimes means more legacy thinking vs. innovation\nSummary Scorecard: BankScoreKey DifferentiatorKiwibank9/10100% Kiwi ownership + measurable people-first targets + verified B CorpASB7.5/10Innovative, culturally grounded, integrated three-pillar approachWestpac6.5/10Scale of impact, but generic messaging and offshore ownershipANZ5.5/10Longest history, but least distinctive values alignment\nThe Verdict: If people and community come first for you, Kiwibank is the clear choice at 9/10. They\u0026rsquo;re:\n✅ Explicitly people-focused with measurable targets ✅ 100% Kiwi-owned (no offshore profit leakage) ✅ Verified through B Corp certification ✅ Inclusive toward vulnerable populations ✅ Most transparent about their commitments\nASB is a respectable #2 if you value innovation and cultural integration alongside community impact. Westpac and ANZ, while solid banks, are oriented more toward profit maximization with community responsibility as an add-on rather than foundational.Get notified when tasks complete or need inputNotify meAsk before acting\n",

For each of those counts - What SHOULD the punishment be, what would the punishment be and what could the punishment be. Please keep succinct.\n The Caveat IMPORTANT CAVEAT: This is one-sided testimony from the prosecutor. A judge would require actual evidence presented at trial, cross-examination, and defense arguments. This deposition alone is insufficient for judgment.\nThat said, based ONLY on Smith\u0026rsquo;s testimony here:\nThe Conclusion GUILTY ON:\n Conspiracy to Overturn the 2020 Election (18 U.S.C. § 371)  Smith testified they had \u0026ldquo;proof beyond a reasonable doubt\u0026rdquo; of a criminal scheme Described coordinated false statements about fraud, direction of supporters to Capitol   Obstruction of Congress/Certification Process (18 U.S.C. § 1512)  Directed co-conspirators to make calls to Members of Congress to delay certification Refused to stop Capitol violence after becoming aware of it   Willful Retention of Classified Documents (18 U.S.C. § 793)  Smith testified documents stored at Mar-a-Lago post-presidency \u0026ldquo;Willfully retained\u0026rdquo; per Smith\u0026rsquo;s characterization   Obstruction in Classified Documents Case (18 U.S.C. § 1512)  \u0026ldquo;Repeatedly tried to obstruct justice to conceal\u0026rdquo; documents     SENTENCING (per guidelines):\n Conspiracy/Obstruction: Should be 10-20 years; Would likely be 5-10 years; Could be 0-20+ years Classified Docs: Should be 3-5 years; Would likely be 2-3 years; Could be 0-10 years  Total: Likely consecutive sentences totaling 5-13 years\n",

    "text": "🔗 Is Trump Going to Start a World War? Or, the Price Americans Will Pay For One\n—\n It’s one thing to say: America can’t be depended on anymore to be a friend and ally. It’s another to say: America can’t be trusted not to invade, conquer, or control you. These are different levels of breakdown in relationships. The first is a lack of trust. But the second is a breach and betrayal.\n —\n Even with all its guns and bombs, can America conquer the entire world? Of course not. In the end, the world will win this foolish game, and America must lose. That is where this road begins. Where it ends is with the world demanding that America, in the end, make good for the harm it is doing now, and will continue to do. And the world has the power to enforce that, too, because of course, it owns America’s debt. In this way, too, impoverishment beckons for Americans.\n 🖇️ I have remarked on this before.\n  Here are less obvious ones. The EU retaliates not militarily, but financially. It goes nuclear, and dumps its US assets, from stocks to bonds. Bang. There go America’s 401Ks. China joins it, and things go from bad to worse. And of course, because they don’t want to be left holding assets worth pennies on the dollar, Japan and the Arab states race in, too. The stakes now are stark and severe. I don’t think that Americans, at least many of them, fully grasp where they are.\n ",

    "title": "Its Decision Time",
    "text": "My three words for 2026 are 🖇️ Engage - Enable - Excite. But there\u0026rsquo;s a catch. Underpinning all of that is a requirement to both stop and start. Stop what\u0026rsquo;s bad for you, what isn\u0026rsquo;t working, what\u0026rsquo;s draining you. And start what\u0026rsquo;s good for you, change things up, do something different when something clearly isn\u0026rsquo;t landing.\nThat\u0026rsquo;s where the tension lives. One voice says when things aren\u0026rsquo;t working, change the game. Do something different. Move it up. Stagnation demands disruption. You\u0026rsquo;ve got agency, the ability to reframe, introduce new variables, step outside the rules you\u0026rsquo;ve been playing by. This voice won\u0026rsquo;t accept circumstance as fixed.\nThe other voice says if things aren\u0026rsquo;t working, they\u0026rsquo;ll persist anyway. Be patient. All will be well. Not wishful thinking, but confidence in process. The recognition that what\u0026rsquo;s broken right now is already being worked on by time and circumstances you can\u0026rsquo;t control yet. Patience here isn\u0026rsquo;t inaction. It\u0026rsquo;s understanding that some shifts simply require waiting.\nBoth are right. And so - by definition - both are wrong and the decision is made by applying the real skill of \u0026lsquo;sensing\u0026rsquo;. Very useful!\nWhen does the system actually need you to disrupt it, and when is your job to hold steady whilst deeper shifts take hold? Get that distinction wrong and you either exhaust yourself with constant pivoting or you surrender to inertia. Sometimes both.\nFor me this is not theoretical. It’s the fork in the road. It’s not about the new year - it’s about life that continues to get harder and harder.\nThis all came to mind this afternoon when this popped up on my phone. Song For The Post 🔗📼 The Clash\n",

    "text": "Let me count the ways - but for now a short primer \u0026hellip;.\nWrong - In What They Are   A static snapshot in a dynamic system - Org charts freeze people in place, in a world that\u0026rsquo;s fluid, adaptive, and always in motion.\n  An illusion of control - They suggest neat lines of authority, when actual influence flows in networks, whispers, and Slack threads.\n  A power fantasy - Designed more to reassure executives than to reflect how things really work on the ground.\n  Wrong - In How They Are   Too hierarchical, too linear - Most charts resemble military command structures in an age that demands collaboration and cross-functionality.\n  Built top-down, not inside-out - They reflect formal reporting lines, not value creation, lived relationships, or trust pathways.\n  Exclusionary by design - Contractors, advisors, ecosystem partners, AI tools? Nowhere to be seen, yet often critical to delivery.\n  Wrong - In the Information They Contain   Titles ≠ capability - Job labels are vague proxies. They reveal little about what someone is great at, trusted for, or actually doing.\n  Missing the real flows - No view of how decisions are made, who connects teams, or where knowledge is hoarded vs. shared.\n  Performance blind - They say nothing about value contribution, outcomes, energy, or momentum.\n  Wrong - In How Work Is Understood   They reduce people to boxes - And forget that work is a web of conversations, motivations, tensions, experiments, and progress.\n  Ignore emergence and adaptability - Real work happens across silos, shaped by informal leaders, not always those in bold font.\n  Reinforce outdated logic - Built for predictability and scale, when today\u0026rsquo;s work is about learning, iterating, and adjusting on the fly.\n  ",

And all without algorithmsmonitoring sentiment.\n  A helping hand, someone who\u0026rsquo;d load your luggage, not because it was required, but because that\u0026rsquo;s what people do.\n  Navigation expertise by someone who knows the backstreets better than GPS, and magically avoid traffic lines.\n  The \u0026lsquo;welcome committee\u0026rsquo;, offering recommendations for where to eat, what to avoid, and how to make the most of your stay.\n  An interpreter or cultural guide, especially in unfamiliar cities or countries, bridging gaps in language and local norms.\n  A protector that waited until you got safely inside your home or hotel before driving off.\n  A confidant that listens to everything from your job woes to relationship breakdowns .. no subscription required.\n  A fixture of community memory in the form of a driver who knew your parents, remembered your last trip and asked after your kids.\n  A micro-economy participant, in that they often owned their vehicle, had real agency over hours, routes, pricing, and long-term plans and what they earned was part of the local economy where they plied their trade - no profits siphon off and extracted to the banks of the ride share company.\n  A professional, who knows that the job isn\u0026rsquo;t just driving, but care, awareness, and service - all wrapped in experience.\n  None of which is really provided by the things replacing taxis \u0026hellip; And yes - I know that doesn’t describe all Taxis - but it certainly describes the good ones.

Another Kiwi success story.\nMeanwhile New Zealand Story often talk about how NZ tech is responsible for so much export revenue - 🔗 latest news at Tin - reports $20Billion - Kiwi - TECH EXPORTS\nThis list includes\nFisher \u0026amp; Paykel Appliances - 1.6 billion - which last i heard was sold to China’s Haier - a long time ago - and I woudn’t call it tech\nDatacom - 1.48 billion - which was actually Datacom TOTAL revenue\nXero - 2 billion - and yes a kiwi company headquartered in wellington - but not listed on the Kiwi exchange since 2018 and where\nWhen does ‘Kiwi’ stop being Kiwi?\nWhat is ‘tech’ - because this list includes white goods and media special effects - I would argue that the ‘special effects’ are the exports? If the tech could be exported - why would Cameron just about move himself here to make his films.\n… and my belief is that all of this shouting damages the real stories.\nEg - like what a company like Buckley does - not massive revenues like the top 10 - but with revenue per staff member of over 600K (three times that of Xero for example) with products as deep as the are - not to mention the manufacturing issues - that a Xero doesn’t even have to think about is surely a more worthy story than big numbers that don’t add up - and are small anyway on the global stage.\n",

    "text": "Not My Words - but those of \u0026lsquo;The 🔗Jax\u0026rsquo; - over on 🔗 LinkedIN\n(Lightly edited to make sense in a blog post.)\n \u0026ldquo;We should all do the right thing by and for our children - they are our future and deserve to be protected.\u0026rdquo;\n 💬 Jax Harrison\nKeeping #CHILDREN - babies literally safe online should be #EVERYONE \u0026rsquo;s priority. Sadly this causes so much damage - and I am so sad for the loss of this young boy 13 year old -Levi and for the family who lost him.\nMaybe Australia has it right.\nChildren don\u0026rsquo;t have the wisdom or knowledge to know what is real and what isnt - or how to cope when things go wrong\u0026hellip;\nParents are not sure how to explain it or talk to their children about it - the dangers of hashtag#chatbots and #sexbots and #sextortion to a child of 13years old. And not only that - because it is supposed to be safe for them to use the Apps. Is it awkward to tell your 13yr old these things? Yes, but now a more than necessary and urgent conversation to have.\nWhy? It is because of the consequences of lack of hashtag#safety parameters of private companies - who are larger than many nations - who are deciding the fate of our #CHILDREN and their futures - without the appropriate intervention and guidance from lawmakers and governments or even counsellors. Without full disclosure of what they are allowing.\nDo you really think if there was a warning label like on a pack of cigarettes - every time you or your child logged in to the App - if there was a flashing for 30 seconds a warning ‼️ \u0026ldquo;Use of this app may expose children and others to harmful sextortion, potentially harmful relationship bots, cutting and self harm groups and challenges, radicalisation, bullying, and may cause severe anxiety, self harm and suicidal thoughts \u0026hellip; everyone would be so keen on it - NO. Of course not - parents and teens would think twice.\nAnd that\u0026rsquo;s the smallest step the companies could do. It would cost them nothing \u0026hellip; just less children on their platform.\nInstead they just take the risk and do nothing to make it better because it doesn\u0026rsquo;t cost that much to them.\nThe value of collecting our children\u0026rsquo;s data is worth more than that. Think about it. Read that again.\nSomehow as a human society we are abdicating responsibility of the protection of our \u0026hellip;\n#childrensrights\n#childrensminds\n#mentalhealth\n#hearts\n\u0026hellip; to private companies who have #profit first and #safeguarding second.\nWe cannot trust them to do the right thing - because \u0026ldquo;when a leopard shows you its spots you should believe them\u0026rdquo;.\nTheir actions tell you who they are.\n#OnlineSafety prevents hashtag#OfflineHarms and companies like hashtag#Instagram hashtag#Meta can and should do better.\n \u0026ldquo;We should all do the right thing by and for our children - they are our future and deserve to be protected.\u0026rdquo;\n Governance and regulatory accountability and actions don\u0026rsquo;t hinder innovation they #savelives - our children\u0026rsquo;s lives.\n#thefuturefound\n#onlinesafety\n#AI\n#governance\n#regulation\n#policy #children\n#stopchildtraffic\n#socialmedia\n",

What are the qualifiers?\nIf not include them completely - at least for a single transaction?\nHow many ‘circles of trust’ does the average person need?\nYou are boarding a plane. How much trust do you need in ‘the system’ that ensures that the pilot is qualified, that there is nobody going to be on board plotting a nefarious action, that nobody has broken into the supply chain for (say) water and poisoned the supply - and so many more things that can go wrong. How many circles of trust do you need to be confident that you can fly safely between two points without an incident?\nI definitely trust Jax - but not even she can make those kind of \u0026lsquo;trust guarantees\u0026rsquo;. I have to trust people that I do not know, that they know something and that something is more reliable than average. Ideally - a LOT more reliable.\n Now now flip it - with those considerations in mind - consider a single airline - put yourself in their shoes and ask if they\u0026rsquo;re going to let you on the plane with your \u0026lsquo;self sovereign identity\u0026rsquo; that has been \u0026lsquo;authorised\u0026rsquo; by an identity that they have never heard of - much less trust.\nSo - in order that one of their planes doesn’t suffer an incident - who do they trust and why?\nShould they?\n This all coming to mind as I read a couple of posts over the holidays that were totally unrelated and yet totally connected.\nSeparately - still waiting to see how self sovereign identity is going to work. The idealism being concocted in NZ, the UK et al will almost certainly fail (or at best be redefined to suit the outcome).\nPhil’s connection to ’Visa thinking’ makes sense - but at some point - somewhere - validation with somebody / something need to be made with a ‘trusted authority’ that is bigger than you - and even 🔗 The Principality of Sealand and other similar places.\nThat is distributed trust - across a network - not centralised - distributed. But we know where the dominant distributed nodes are on the internet? Don’t we. We know that when we say that TCP/IP is by design decentralised. But we also know that despite this - the internet is in practise increasingly centralised.\n Through Access Points Through DNS Through Platforms Through Hosting  Not sure there is going to be that much of a change with DIDs - given the current reality - and even then - careful what you wish for.\nThere is room for an alternative that demonstrably works. It just doesn’t fit into the model that everybody is talking about which is anyway really only about trusting devices - not people.\n",

    "text": "My reply to a LinkedIN question was too long for LinkedINs highly advanced tech to support - hence this post \u0026raquo;\u0026gt;\n🔗 This was the question.\nI\u0026rsquo;ve no idea if this is a generic funnel or one you\u0026rsquo;re actually using, but let\u0026rsquo;s start with the fundamental issue: linear funnels aren\u0026rsquo;t real. Reality is messier. The jump from \u0026lsquo;Appointment Booked\u0026rsquo; to \u0026lsquo;Work Completed\u0026rsquo; in a single step tells me this is almost certainly generic - which isn\u0026rsquo;t a criticism of the diagram itself, just a reality check on what it can actually model.\nHere\u0026rsquo;s what concerns me: there\u0026rsquo;s as much (more\u0026gt;) not asked as asked. You can\u0026rsquo;t sensibly model a funnel in isolation. Not all SMEs are equal, for starters. Industry matters. Geography matters. Market dynamics matter. Deal size expectations matter … what matters is a long list.\nSome will argue that ‘funnels are dead - long live the flywheel’. I\u0026rsquo;m not in that camp - BUT I am in the camp that you should at least work out intentionally how a flywheel fits in or around your funnel model. They\u0026rsquo;re not mutually exclusive.\nThe graphic opens with \u0026lsquo;Lead Comes In’. The first SME question should be how did that lead get there in the first place? That informs everything downstream. You also need to be explicit about qualification - not all ‘leads’ are ‘leads’.\nThe flow itself is too linear. There are no loops, no decision rules, no explicit criteria for what happens when someone doesn\u0026rsquo;t follow the \u0026lsquo;happy path\u0026rsquo;. Reality has friction, objections, false starts, and reversals. In fact the linearity of the model suggests to me that the business is confusing the \u0026lsquo;buyer journey\u0026rsquo; of the customer with the \u0026lsquo;sales journey\u0026rsquo; of the business.\nMost critically, it also seems to assume a one-time transaction. That\u0026rsquo;s rarely a business model worth optimising for. Where do repeat business, churn, extension sales, retention, cross-sell, and upsell live in your model? If you\u0026rsquo;re thinking subscriptions or ongoing relationships, the funnel shape changes entirely.\nFinally - where\u0026rsquo;s the data? Today\u0026rsquo;s numbers and tomorrow\u0026rsquo;s requirements. If you don\u0026rsquo;t need much data to manage this funnel, that raises a question about why you\u0026rsquo;re automating it at all. But if you do need data - which you should - then measurement becomes the whole game. You can\u0026rsquo;t manage what you don\u0026rsquo;t measure.\nAnd why do I write all this?\nBecause for me - until you can bottom out all of this - and a whole lot more - there is no point in looking for the ‘ideal’ technology. As I always say ….\n",

    "text": "🔗 Responding to Bill Bennet\u0026rsquo;s article.\nThe dependencies are clear - but if the EU, with 450 million people and deep talent pools, is only now waking up to the fact they can\u0026rsquo;t compete head-on in AI and cloud infrastructure, then NZ\u0026rsquo;s current posture makes even less sense.\nThe EU\u0026rsquo;s defaulted to regulation because that\u0026rsquo;s what they can actually do. But even that gets framed as geopolitical interference by Washington. They\u0026rsquo;re playing defence from a position of relative strength.\nNZ pursuing direct competition in AI, quantum or advanced chip manufacturing isn\u0026rsquo;t realistic. More importantly, it\u0026rsquo;s the wrong game entirely. Our constraints should force us to be smarter, not just smaller versions of what\u0026rsquo;s happening in \u0026lsquo;The Valley\u0026rsquo;.\nWe have genuine strengths if we care to look around \u0026hellip; Agriculture. Biotech. Climate tech. These are domains where our size becomes an advantage because we can move faster and stay coherent. They\u0026rsquo;re built on foundations this country has already established.\nFrom where I\u0026rsquo;m sitting, I see less of that and more of organisations either chasing every race simultaneously or reinventing the wheel in isolation. It goes all the way to government. Nobody asks the straightforward question: where can we actually win? We\u0026rsquo;re all chasing whatever we\u0026rsquo;re afraid of missing. The EU might sustain that scatter. New Zealand has no chance.\nWe need to stop managing dependencies and choose the fights we can win. Then do them exceptionally well. That\u0026rsquo;s the part we struggle with, even with our number-eight-wire mentality.\nThen again - here\u0026rsquo;s a win - fiscally a BIG win\nChris Keall reported last week \u0026hellip;\n Rocket Lab will deliver satellites equipped with advanced missile warning, tracking, and defense sensors to provide global, persistent detection and tracking of emerging missile threats, including hypersonic systems.\n Luxon has historically been a big drum basher for RocketLabs - but on this one - so far - silence as far as I can see - including nothing from www.beehive.govt.nz - as surprise given how often they are helf up as \u0026lsquo;a great Kiwi Company\u0026rsquo; ..\nMaybe it’s how these are going to be used for (apparently) the Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture\n So I guess we need to first define winning?\n",

    "text": "Consider that in the wake of the national security announcement from Tяump and The Tяump Аппаратчик\n What’s most striking to me about this document isn’t any specific policies, but what it reveals about values. Increasingly, the United States and Europe don’t share them. This reflects a change in America far more than a change in Europe. Trump sees a G-Zero world ruled by the law of the jungle, where might makes right and everything can be bought. For all its flaws, institutional quirks, and bureaucratic sclerosis, the European Union stands for something else: rule of law, liberal democracy, human rights, multilateralism. You can roll your eyes at that list all you want, but it’s the foundation of the entire European project. Heck, it’s why America built the transatlantic alliance in the first place. (The alternative, two world wars, didn’t work out too well for anyone.) And it’s now in direct tension with what Washington is selling.\n 💬 Ian Bremmer\n🔗 Full Piece which also includes this reminder \u0026hellip;\n The only time NATO’s Article 5 has ever been invoked was by the United States, after September 11, 2001. Every European ally came to America’s defence despite different approaches to free speech, regulation, and countless other policy disagreements. They showed up, fought, and died alongside Americans in Afghanistan.\n 💬 Ian Bremmer\nSo \u0026hellip; Europe is the enemy, China - despite rhetoric seem to be closer and Russia - with no cards but all the influence - blood brothers.\nI would note that \u0026hellip;\nTogether, the EU countries hold more US debt than Japan and China put together - to the tune of $2 maybe 2.5 trillion. - well above twice that of China - and that doesn’t include the UK who is in the same ball park as China all by itself.\nAll that wringing of hands a few months ago about China selling its debt and now we have this.\nOf course - they didn’t.\nNo economist in this house - but I do wonder when a country - any country - will get to do something radical rather than putting up with this shit.\n",

    "title": "About This Blog - Part Two",
    "text": "After this, I asked for \u0026ldquo;the top 5 themes of the entire blog - and how those themes might be categorised.\u0026rdquo;\n⸻\n1. Systems vs People\nCategory: Human-Centric vs Mechanistic Worlds\nThis is the spine. You’re constantly examining how systems — corporate, political, digital, economic — drift away from the people they’re supposed to serve. The writing teases out the gap between stated purpose and lived reality. When you pull the thread, it usually reveals misaligned incentives, bureaucratic decay, or the slow capture of human agency by structures not built for complexity.\nThis theme is broad, but it’s recognisably yours: the quiet insistence that the world works better when humans aren’t an afterthought.\n⸻\n2. Digital Culture \u0026amp; Identity\nCategory: The Internet as a Social Mirror\nYou’ve been tracking digital behaviour long enough to see its cycles. Posts float between the technical (protocols, decentralisation, identity plumbing) and the cultural (“what is the internet doing to us?”). You keep returning to the tension between centralised power and distributed potential — especially identity, agency, and data ownership.\nThere’s a through-line about the internet revealing who we are, not who we pretend to be — and how platforms distort that mirror for profit.\n⸻\n3. Organisational Drift \u0026amp; Work Dysfunction\nCategory: Structural Failure in Modern Work\nYou dissect how organisations lose the plot: misaligned goals, leadership illusions, management fads, the tyranny of systems of record, and the way noise crowds out thinking. It’s not just critique; it’s pattern recognition. You keep orienting back to: •\twhy clarity erodes •\twhy communication collapses •\twhy strategy gets replaced with theatre\nThis is the foundation of your People-First and Structured Thought work — the blog was the long preamble to those frameworks.\n⸻\n4. Politics, Power \u0026amp; Narrative\nCategory: How Stories Shape Systems\nPolitics shows up not as team sports but as a study of power mechanics: incentives, misinformation, propaganda, social drift, and institutional self-preservation. You’re tracking how political narratives shape behaviour, how media distort signals, and how systems use confusion as a feature, not a bug.\nIt’s less “left/right” and more “how does power behave when no one’s watching?”\n⸻\n5. Personal Reflection as Calibration\nCategory: Lived Experience as Data\nScattered between analysis are personal markers — moments of doubt, frustration, humour, curiosity. These aren’t diary entries; they work like calibration points. They show why you care about the themes above and how your lens shifted over time.\nIt’s not nostalgia — it’s grounding. The personal posts remind the reader (and you) that all the system-wide reasoning still begins with lived experience.\n⸻\nHow These Themes Organise Themselves If you zoom out, the five themes collapse into three overarching categories:\nA. Systems Analysis •\tSystems vs People •\tOrganisational Drift •\tPolitics and Power These posts decode how things really work — beneath the surface narratives.\nB. Digital Life and Identity •\tDigital Culture •\tDecentralisation •\tProtocols, platforms, incentives This is your long-running preoccupation with how the internet reshapes agency.\nC. Personal Lens \u0026amp; Human Anchors •\tReflections •\tObservations •\tSmall signals They keep the whole thing from becoming a cold systems textbook.\n",

    "title": "About This Blog",
    "text": "Before I get there - everything below the line below was automatically generated by an AI (does it matter which one?)\n🖇️ Blog.Philpin.com is a combination of imports of older blogs from other personal spaces together with this latest iteration which has been going since around 2017/18? I am in the process of reorganising my different sub domains into a coherent view of my thinking - it will - I guess be an eternal WIP - but slowly we are getting there.\nI was interested as to how much of what sits in what I call my \u0026lsquo;Personal Journal\u0026rsquo; - was \u0026lsquo;on topic\u0026rsquo; - so to speak. (Hard - when the topic is not clear - even to the author.)\nThat said - Structured Thought is revealing itself as my broad category - and I have a LOT of material that fits there scattered across my hard drive - enter my new Wiki - where I am starting to collect and curate the material.\nSo - with thanks to @manton and #micro.blog it took no time at all to export my thousands (no exaggeration) of posts and easily as many replies to zip and json files - upload them to a new project and with that said - let the analysis begin \u0026hellip;\nI asked the AI just to give me a quick 4 paragraphs on its take of what it found in the archive.\n Your blog reads like a long, rolling attempt to make sense of systems that don’t behave the way they pretend to. You’re tracking the gap between how the world is structured on paper and how it actually functions in practice — whether that’s tech, politics, identity, business, or the internet itself. Underneath the commentary, there’s a consistent itch: why do institutions keep choosing the path that works against people, complexity, and common sense? And why do we keep letting them? It’s observational, sometimes wry, sometimes annoyed, but fundamentally grounded in curiosity about how things should work if we weren’t so collectively distracted.\nAnother through-line: you’ve always been a ‘people first, systems second’ thinker, even before you had the language for it. The posts keep circling back to the same tension — humans don’t behave like the tidy diagrams or workflows created to manage them. You poke at corporate theatre, political spin, tech evangelism, and the strange incentives that create distortion instead of coherence. More often than not, you’re tracing the hidden mechanics: the power relationships, the data trails, the business models baked into digital life. There’s a quiet sense of accountability running through it: don’t just look at what a system claims; look at what it rewards.\nThere’s also a personal arc that floats just beneath the surface. The blog isn’t memoir, but it carries the fingerprints of someone who’s lived enough cycles to spot the patterns early. The tone shifts over time—from early curiosity, to a kind of mid-period frustration, to a more recent strategic clarity. You’ve moved from ‘this is odd’ to ‘here’s the underlying structure’ to ‘and here’s how we might actually fix it.’ The personal reflections act as calibration points, showing how your own lens sharpened while the world got noisier.\nAnd stitched through all of it is the same project you’re running now: trying to build ways of thinking that actually help people navigate complexity instead of collapsing under it. The blog, taken as a whole, is you working that out in public — testing ideas, calling out nonsense, mapping where things go wrong, and nudging toward a more honest, human, future-oriented frame. It’s not a brand play. It’s a long record of someone interrogating the shape of the world and refusing to take shallow explanations at face value.\n",

    "text": "Interesting🔗 read.\nOr is it?\nMy ten cents so you don’t have to wade through the whole thing.\nThe report sketches a workplace where confidence has thinned, power has tilted back to employers, and employees are left carrying the weight. Trust in leadership keeps sliding as people call out misalignment, muddled communication, and a shift from occasional layoffs to something closer to a permanent drizzle. Remote and hybrid staff have stalled on career progression, which explains the quiet drift back to offices. AI anxiety is loud enough, but the actual impact on job satisfaction is tiny. Job seekers are taking whatever lands in front of them in a flat hiring market, though early-career workers are finally seeing real wage growth again, particularly in the up-and-coming second-tier cities.\nSo - same old same? B(S)AU.\nTakeaways\n Trust in leadership keeps dropping as workers feel disconnected, insecure, and overlooked amid constant micro-layoffs. Remote workers might love the flexibility, but the career ceiling is showing, which will keep nudging people back into the office. AI disruption is mostly a storyline for now; the data shows only a faint effect on sentiment.  … no shit Dick Tracy.\nAnd the big reveal?\n The real trust gap isn’t RTO or AI, it’s that workers no longer believe leadership acts in their interest.  Newsflash, they never did.   Cities like Provo and Boise are beating the big tech hubs on early-career wage growth.  Well yes, after what those hubs were paying, reality was always going to bite.    Then again, it’s Glassdoor. What exactly was I expecting?\n",

    "text": "In the country of New Zealand there continues to be a lot of wringing of hands, gnashing of teeth and even self flagellation over the ‘Kiwi productivity issue’ - working harder and harder every year and somehow falling further and further behind others on ‘the league tables of productive nations’ … what’s to be done?\nIt’s a question that is constantly asked and answered in posts all over LinkedIN - everyone seems to have an answer - but ‘execution’ remains lacking. I have also attended a few sessions in the past couple of months where the same questions are asked. The same answers emerge The inaction continues.\nI have my theories - not least of which is answered by what will be going on in Aotearoa soon - and will continue until Waitangi Day (ask a local). It’s worse - because there is a lead up to the period - already in full flow as the ‘great wind down' begins to kick in.\nApocryphal? Maybe - but some told me recently that in their \u0026ldquo;28 years in business they had not once received a purchase commitment after October 28th.\u0026rdquo; .. he didn\u0026rsquo;t say - but I am guessing \u0026ldquo;and never before February 6th\u0026rdquo;.\nDoug wrote ‘Throwing Rocks at the Google Bus in 2016’. This quote just popped up in my feed and prompted this post\nIt’s taking a while to sink in - though it always does ‘down here’.\nThis in turn reminded of this observation by Alex Pawlowski over in the land of Substack (coincidentally - ‘Hamish’ one of the two co-founders is a Kiwi).\nAlex was riffing on AI …\n AI has made ideas abundant. You can generate a strategy, a campaign, a business plan in minutes. The new scarcity isn’t insight — it’s implementation. Execution becomes the strategic moat.\n I would argue that has always been the case. I\u0026rsquo;d be a billionaire if I had a dollar for every time I have been told ‘that idea isn\u0026rsquo;t original - I visualised that years ago’. The correct reply?\nThey executed.\n(A dollar? What happened to cents? Dollars only accepted because the cent is apparently no more.)\nThat (execution) is what we are not doing. (Broad sweeping generalisation for sure - but in a nation that prides itself with its \u0026lsquo;edge\u0026rsquo; - the blade does seem to have become a tad \u0026lsquo;dull\u0026rsquo;\nHaving a coffee this week with someone I saw talking about this very problem last week. I know we are on the same \u0026lsquo;thinking\u0026rsquo; page - I wonder how we can move the conversation to action - because down here we do seem to be waiting - for everyone else - to make the move.\n If you want to red more of my related ramblings on New Zealand - you can do that\n",

    "text": "I’m on the verge of ending my relationship with both Claude and ChatGPT. Frankly, I’m paying child support for two AIs who don’t even pretend to behave. Claude is the real shocker. I had such high hopes. My account renewed on Friday, used it sparingly, and it collapsed on a chaise lounge because it \u0026lsquo;ran out of tokens\u0026rsquo; twice in three days. Yesterday, I apparently spent a month’s allowance in about 40 minutes just asking it to think.\nI keep hoping I’m doing something wrong but the Claude chatbot, which seems to be the only help available, looks like it’s off somewhere sharing cocktails with my missing helper.\nMeanwhile, on the ChatGPT side of the street, the vibe is cheerful and overconfident. It’s like a 17-year-old firing off life advice at 300 words a second straight from the gut, completely unaware of what they’re talking about. (hello 2025 internet). Enthusiasm? A perfect 10 - with accuracy somewhere so far down that had I delivered such results as kid - my dad would have been having a long chat with me.\nMeanwhile, the instructions are a full-blown fever dream. It skims my words, understands none of them, and tosses back a salad of unrelated suggestions. The real party trick is the gaslighting. I ask \u0026lsquo;Are you sure?\u0026rsquo; and it informs me I’m wrong about my own question. Two minutes later it confidently asserts the exact opposite. The dedication to self-contradiction is almost athletic.\nThen comes the pièce de résistance: accountability. None. Instead of \u0026lsquo;my bad\u0026rsquo;, I get a \u0026lsquo;great job team, we did it\u0026rsquo;. Buddy, I wasn’t even touching the wheel.\n and yes - yes I did.\n",

But if they did - they would realise that the post that they or their bot did write had already been written - many many many times. (Tip o’ the hat to Spike.)\nMany of the comments go to great lengths (and in all seriousness) explaining how 1,2,3 etc …. are actually Arabic numerals and nothing to do with the new mayor.\n.. and then in yet further commentary people explaining why they find the explanations funny…\nSo at the risk of ‘taking the turtles’ down yet another step .. my response to them all\nIt\u0026rsquo;s sad that some people have this urge to explain stuff that is already well documented - clearly that are the same people that have already finished ‘reading the internet’ - but at least it shows where the cull should start. But there’s more - success in such culling would allow sarcasm to finally shed its shackles and reclaim its rightful place on the humour spectrum.\nThat said - I do, however, feel for the translators, commentators, and the overall class of ‘sarcasm custodians’ - because they are clearly another class of professionals being tossed onto the rubbish heap of ‘roles no longer needed’ along with the last surviving critical thinkers.\nAt least as defined by our ‘supreme leaders’.\n",

It was resurrected as a circulating coin in 1836, as the Royal Mint sought to fill the gap between the penny and sixpence. The fourpence was chosen at the urging of the politician Joseph Hume, who noted that fourpence was the cab fare for short journeys. The new coin did not endear him to hackney drivers, who previously often received sixpence without a request for change, and they gave it the nickname \u0026ldquo;joey\u0026rdquo;. There was also confusion between the groat and the sixpence.\n ",

On this occasion 🔗 1967 was the summer of love we will remember 2025 as the summer of vibes I read it - and - ummmm - no.\nUmm - hell no.\n…maybe one day I will follow this up with a more detailed reasoning why - but for now \u0026ldquo;yeah, no\u0026rdquo; is the only appropriate response.\nWhy?\n1967 was music, movement, and meaning.\n2025? Unless you live in a tech bubble (and clearly many do) I would suggest that when people look back from 2050, and ask how they remember 2025 - I suspect the answers or more likely to fall into categories such as;\n That America lost democracy. That the world slipped further into fascism. That we tipped past the point of no return on climate. That AI passed the tipping point - ushering in 50% unemployment. OR That AI passed the tipping point - and finally - humanity is actually free to live, create, and flourish.  My bet?

Freedom. The song was written by Little Steven … and released on his Disciples of Soul album 1984. With this … I pray some sanity , rule of law , integrity , honesty and compassion return to America and the world … asap. … peace and aloha Randall\n   🔗🎵Jackson Browne 1989\n 🔗🎵Little Steven 1984\n 🔗🎵Jackson Browne … recent performance\n 🔗🎵Kris Kristofferson Live @ Farm Aid 1990\n  Lyrics :Ben Harper\u0026rsquo;s website 2025\n",

    "text": "Ticketmaster - for it is they that own ‘Moshtix’ now have in THEIR system MY full and legal name that ‘must match’ the name I used to book my tickets, my phone number, my email, which city and country and zip code I live in - all of which was \u0026lsquo;needed\u0026rsquo; as I booked tickets for a concert. Quite why they needed all that is unclear - because even the ID ‘enshitification’ stuff is their \u0026lsquo;information grab\u0026rsquo; doesn’t solve the problem of scalping - they are just forcing data out of people - the bad guys have ways round it.\nThis all came to mind as I read 🔗 this from Don Marti - after he read this from Doc Searls.\nDoc is a personal story - the key one to read is Don’s where he summarises surveillance \u0026lsquo;myths and the reality\u0026rsquo;.\nI particularly liked this one \u0026hellip;\n surveillance myth: small businesses want social media advertising\nreality: they wanted social networking and got switched over. Policy changes that limit surveillance will make independent businesses better off.\n .. but the others are just as important.\nWhich is all currently high in my mind - because I am reviewing a new app that someone has recommended to me - and on their web site they write ( I paraphrase and add bold)\n \u0026hellip; a B2B marketing company that helps businesses find and close high-value customers faster by identifying which companies are most likely to buy before they raise their hand. They use AI and data signals to spot early intent, then deliver targeted ads and personalised outreach to decision-makers at those companies. Their model blends analytics, account-based marketing and sales activation to reduce waste and boost conversion.\n I wonder how they do all that if they aren\u0026rsquo;t into surveillance \u0026hellip; which as you know - I am not a big fan of \u0026hellip; back to Don\n surveillance myth: content is fungible, targeting algorithms are uniquely valuable.\nreality: expert brands such as King Arthur Baking and Tieman Tire have product and service knowledge that differentiates them, and that the company can keep and build on.\n The problem with that reality is that it takes time - and most people want the shortcut.\n",

That\u0026rsquo;s because it assumes you go from one equlibrium state to another through a change process. But the theme of the Reinvention Summit in Dublin was that there is no equlibrium, only permanent change. So continual reinvention replaces transformation as a process.\n 🔗Read the whole post here.\nI was taken with Stuart’s conclusion …\n My big idea to this is simple: it is critical to have strategic clarity so that you adapt, change and transform your activities within a clear and well defined mission.\n … because that’s what my friends at 🔗 Vantaset talk about.\nCome to think of it - a lot of people talk about it - the real challenge is pulling it off.\nIt is that that makes Vantaset truly revolutionary. because they do exactly that for business after business. Organisation after organisation.\n",

    "text": "The Information reporting on the rape and spillage of an entire global industry …. and they barely bat an eye.\n Waymo rides are 30% to 40% more expensive on average than Uber and Lyft on the same routes, according to a recent report by rideshare data analytics firm Obi. The firm analyzed more than 700 ride options across the three apps over the course of a month and found that Waymo’s prices averaged $18.06 per mile, higher than Uber and Lyft, which averaged $13.45 and $12.86, respectively.\n What Happened.\n Taxis are expensive. We will flood the streets with cars and drivers who will do the same job and the market will decide the price. we will pay the drivers of this new fleet less money than existing taxi drivers to keep our costs down. new drivers will flock to this model - we will sell the jobs with new language - call it the gig economy - so people will have the feeling that they are in charge. This will result in the death of the global taxi business by using your (VC) money to undercut local business across the globe. With the taxi business dead, we can then introduce driverless cars. This will remove a significant cost of running the cars, since we won\u0026rsquo;t have to pay people. AND - rather than passing that saving on to customers, we will actually put the price of the ride up - back up to the original prices that the old taxis cost, but  1)‘medallion’ costs will have been removed.\n2) people costs will have been removed.\n3) competition will have been removed.\n4) price of the cars in the fleet significantly reduced.\nAND the profits from this venture will be consolidated back to our corporate headquarters.\nWow that sounds fantastic - how quick could you execute that plan (asks said VC)\noh - beginning to end? What 15 years?\nVC it‘s 2025 - it took 16 years - why so long?\nOh we hit a few bumps in the road if you’ll pardon the pun .. we had to break a few laws, got thrown out of a few cities .. even countries and in the end get the laws changed to suit our business model. Without that we’d have cracked the whole thing in 11 or 12 - but the good news is that as we changed the laws, we worked out how not to pay any taxes and remove money out of circulation in every single country we operate in. So profitability is even higher than we predicted.\nNo - I’m pretty sure that I am not missing anything.\n",

    "text": "I want to say a few words about the events of the last few days.\nThis past weekend, federal agents conducted large-scale workplace raids in and around Los Angeles.\nThose raids continue as I speak.\nCalifornia is no stranger to immigration enforcement, but instead of focusing on undocumented immigrants with serious criminal records and people with final deportation orders, a strategy both parties have long supported, this administration is pushing mass deportations, indiscriminately targeting hardworking immigrant families, regardless of their roots or risk.\nWhat\u0026rsquo;s happening right now is very different than anything we\u0026rsquo;ve seen before.\nOn Saturday morning, when federal agents jumped out of an unmarked van near a Home Depot parking lot, they began grabbing people, a deliberate targeting of a heavily Latino suburb.\nA similar scene played out when a clothing company was raided downtown.\nIn other actions, a U.S.\ncitizen, nine months pregnant, was arrested, a four-year-old girl taken, families separated, friends quite literally disappearing.\nIn response, everyday Angelenos came out to exercise their constitutional right to free speech and assembly, to protest their government\u0026rsquo;s actions.\nIn turn, the state of California and the city and county of Los Angeles sent our police officers to help keep the peace.\nAnd with some exceptions, they were successful.\nLike many states, California is no stranger to this sort of unrest.\nWe manage it regularly and with our own law enforcement.\nBut this, again, was different.\nWhat then ensued was the use of tear gas, flashbang grenades, rubber bullets, federal agents detaining people and undermining their due process rights.\nDonald Trump, without consulting California law enforcement leaders, commandeered 2,000 of our state\u0026rsquo;s National Guard members to deploy on our streets, illegally and for no reason.\nThis brazen abuse of power by a sitting president inflamed a combustible situation, putting our people, our officers, and even our National Guard at risk.\nThat\u0026rsquo;s when the downward spiral began.\nHe doubled down on his dangerous National Guard deployment by fanning the flames even harder.\nAnd the president, he did it on purpose.\nAs the news spread throughout LA, anxiety for family and friends ramped up.\nProtests started again.\nBy night, several dozen lawbreakers became violent and destructive.\nThey vandalized property.\nThey tried to assault police officers.\nMany of you have seen the video clips of cars burning on cable news.\nIf you incite violence, I want to be clear about this, if you incite violence or destroy our communities, you\u0026rsquo;re going to be held to account.\nThat kind of criminal behavior will not be tolerated, full stop.\nAlready, more than 220 people have been arrested, and we\u0026rsquo;re reviewing tapes to build additional cases, and people will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.\nAgain, thanks to our law enforcement officers and the majority of Angelenos who protested peacefully, the situation was winding down and was concentrated in just a few square blocks downtown.\nWith that, that\u0026rsquo;s not what Donald Trump wanted.\nHe again chose escalation.\nHe chose more force.\nHe chose theatrics over public safety.\nHe federalized another 2,000 Guard members.\nHe deployed more than 700 active U.S.\nMarines.\nThese are the men and women trained for foreign combat, not domestic law enforcement.\nWe honor their service.\nWe honor their bravery.\nBut we do not want our streets militarized by our own armed forces, not in L.A., not in California, not anywhere.\nWe\u0026rsquo;re seeing unmarked cars, unmarked cars in school parking lots, kids afraid of attending their own graduation.\nTrump is pulling a military dragnet all across Los Angeles, well beyond his stated intent to just go after violent and serious criminals.\nHis agents are arresting dishwashers, gardeners, day laborers, and seamstresses.\nThat\u0026rsquo;s just weakness, weakness masquerading as strength.\nDonald Trump\u0026rsquo;s government isn\u0026rsquo;t protecting our communities.\nThey\u0026rsquo;re traumatizing our communities, and that seems to be the entire point.\nCalifornia will keep fighting.\nWe\u0026rsquo;ll keep fighting on behalf of our people, all of our people, including in the courts.\nJust yesterday, we filed a legal challenge to Donald Trump\u0026rsquo;s reckless deployment of American troops to a major American city.\nToday, we sought an emergency court order to stop the use of the American military to engage in law enforcement activities across Los Angeles.\nIf some of us could be snatched off the streets without a warrant, based only on suspicion or skin color, then none of us are safe.\nAuthoritarian regimes begin by targeting people who are least able to defend themselves, but they do not stop there.\nTrump and his loyalists, they thrive on division because it allows them to take more power and exert even more control.\nAnd by the way, Trump, he\u0026rsquo;s not opposed to lawlessness and violence as long as it serves him.\nWhat more evidence do we need than January 6th?\nAsk everyone, take time, reflect on this perilous moment.\nA president who wants to be bound by no law or constitution, perpetuating a unified assault on American traditions.\nThis is a president who in just over 140 days has fired government watchdogs that could hold him accountable, accountable for corruption and fraud.\nHe\u0026rsquo;s declared a war, a war on culture, on history, on science, on knowledge itself.\nDatabases quite literally are vanishing.\nHe\u0026rsquo;s delegitimizing news organizations, and he\u0026rsquo;s assaulting the First Amendment.\nAnd the threat of defunding them, at threat, he\u0026rsquo;s dictating what universities themselves can teach.\nHe\u0026rsquo;s targeting law firms and the judicial branch that are the foundations of an orderly and civil society.\nHe\u0026rsquo;s calling for a sitting governor to be arrested for no other reason than to, in his own words, for getting elected.\nAnd we all know this Saturday, he\u0026rsquo;s ordering our American heroes, the United States military, and forcing them to put on a vulgar display to celebrate his birthday, just as other failed dictators have done in the past.\nLook, this isn\u0026rsquo;t just about protests here in Los Angeles.\nWhen Donald Trump sought blanket authority to commandeer the National Guard, he made that order apply to every state in this nation.\nThis is about all of us.\nThis is about you.\nCalifornia may be first, but it clearly will not end here.\nOther states are next.\nDemocracy is next.\nDemocracy is under assault before our eyes.\nThis moment we have feared has arrived.\nHe\u0026rsquo;s taking a wrecking ball, a wrecking ball to our founding fathers' historic project, three co-equal branches of independent government.\nThere are no longer any checks and balances.\nCongress is nowhere to be found.\nSpeaker Johnson has completely abdicated that responsibility.\nThe rule of law has increasingly been given way to the rule of Don.\nThe founding fathers, they didn\u0026rsquo;t live and die to see this kind of moment.\nIt\u0026rsquo;s time for all of us to stand up.\nJustice Brandeis, he said it best.\nIn a democracy, the most important office, with all due respect, Mr.\nPresident, is not the presidency, and it\u0026rsquo;s certainly not governor.\nThe most important office is office of citizen.\nAt this moment, at this moment, we all need to stand up and be held to account, a higher level of accountability.\nIf you exercise your First Amendment rights, please, please do it peacefully.\nI know many of you are feeling deep anxiety, stress, and fear, but I want you to know that you are the antidote to that fear and that anxiety.\nWhat Donald Trump wants most is your fealty, your silence to be complicit in this moment.\nDo not give in to him.\n",

The grids morph into swarms of tesseracts, truly seen only in equations, never in full. Creativity spirals into infinite fractals. Community pulses - unpredictable, electric, impossible to ignore. Collaboration completes the pattern break - thriving in asymmetry.\nAnd somewhere in that beautiful mess, we finally admit: the world never - ever - fit into three dimensions, let alone two.\n",

    "title": "Are Blogs Dead?",
    "text": "A short chat last week sparked a familiar question:\n  “Is blog even the right word anymore? Do people still use them? Isn’t the whole thing outdated?”\n Yes. Yes. And no.\nYou’d be forgiven for thinking blogs died off, especially if your online life happens on Facebook, LinkedIn, or Instagram - like most of the world. Even mainstream media barely mentions them. And yet, nearly every news outlet runs a blog. They just don’t like to call them that. More on that in a moment.\nFor now, if you’re reading this, you’re either on a blog or using a feed reader. So yes blogs are here and relevant - because you wouldn\u0026rsquo;t be reading this if it was irrelevant. Would you?\nSome quick history. The oldest continuously running blog is 🔗 Links.net, started by Justin Hall in 1994. It’s still live, though \u0026lsquo;regular posting\u0026rsquo; is clearly not its hallmark. One post this year, nothing since last February. But still: there.\nA more famous long-hauler? 🔗 Scripting News, from 🔗 Dave Winer, the guy behind RSS and podcasting. He also started in 1994. Justin might’ve gotten there first, but Dave’s still publishing like clockwork. Double-digit post counts, most days. No contest on stamina.\nBut this isn’t about nostalgia. It’s not a leaderboard. It’s about blogs:\n Are blogs still here? Are blogs still relevant? Why do people think blogs are dead?  Are blogs still here? I did a rough count this morning: about 600 million blogs exist globally.\n The internet hosts ~1.9 billion websites. A third of those are blogs, if you include personal sites, company blogs, and microblogs. WordPress powers over 450 million sites—most with a blog. Other platforms (Blogger, Ghost, Micro.blog, Substack, etc.) add millions more. Even LinkedIn Articles, Substack newsletters, and YouTube community posts blur the lines.  Yes, newsletters too. Every Substack is a blog in disguise. The \u0026lsquo;email\u0026rsquo; you get is just a post, sent to your inbox. Substack simply stopped calling them blogs. That doesn’t make them something else. (Same for Medium, Ghost, Micro.Blog) - the idea of a newsletter is a push to an email address (or app) - a blog (through its RSS feed) is also a push - just not to your email - but to your app of choice and there are many to choose from;\nMetNewsWire, Feedly, Reeder and Readwise to name just fiur that I use (it\u0026rsquo;s a sickness - it doesn\u0026rsquo;t have to be this way. One is fine.)\nSo yes, blogs are very here. Many are quiet, some unread, but together, they form the internet’s chaotic chorus. And now and then, you catch something brilliant.\nSo what’s the problem?\nDiscoverability. Let me show you.\nThe New Zealand Herald, one of our local papers. 🔗Here’s their \u0026lsquo;blog\u0026rsquo; page, but don’t try finding an RSS feed for it. It isn\u0026rsquo;t there - BUT - they do keep RSS feeds tucked away over here:\nhttps://www.nzherald.co.nz/technology/nz-herald-news-rss-feeds/SOA2EBUD5L72DYXMP3A267XOKI/\n\u0026hellip; ten different feeds, but none for the blog. Helpful. NOT. (And it\u0026rsquo;s been there since at least 2017.)\nWorse, click one of those RSS links and you’ll see … code. Which looks like gibberish unless you know what you’re looking at.\nBut if you’ve got a feed reader, it’s gold. You copy the link, paste it into your app, and boom—custom news stream, no algorithm required.\nThe screen shot below is from \u0026lsquo;Reeder\u0026rsquo;. I’ve got all ten Herald feeds in one tidy folder. Local news, technology, business, whatever. It’s fast, focused, and completely under my control.\nSo why bother? Why not just visit the Herald’s site?\nBecause one feed reader can hold hundreds of sources. I don’t browse around - I bring the good stuff to me. It’s the difference between wandering through multiple stores and supermarkets - with car rides between - and still not finding things, definitely missing them and getting frustrated versus receiving a curated box delivered daily to your door step AND you are the one doing the curation (no algorithms) AND you can discover other curated feeds that you can also follow.\nOf course, the Herald is a business. They pay journalists. They want ad clicks and subscriber logins. Fair enough. But their reluctance to promote RSS (or blogs more generally) feels less like innovation, more like a gate.\nAre blogs still relevant? If they’re not, then:\n 600 million websites are a waste of space. Most of the media is irrelevant. And people’s voices don’t matter.  Meanwhile, if blogs are irrelevant, then:\n Facebook is relevant. TikTok is relevant. LinkedIn is relevant.  That’s the supposed trade. But it’s not a fair one. Relevance isn’t binary. It depends on context—and trust.\nWhy do people think blogs are dead? Because tech giants and media companies want them to be - because both want you to stay on their sites - that is how they make money. BUT, you can make money without lock in. But that is a different topic.\nIf you read everything on LinkedIn or Facebook, you stay on LinkedIn or Facebook. That’s the whole game: lock-in. Get you scrolling, keep you scrolling, make it feel like you never need to leave. Blogs don’t play that game. They sit outside the walls.\nAnd that makes them dangerous - in the best way.\n This is part one of a very long post - trying to decide if I should publish the rest?. What do you think.\n",

    "title": "About Those PE Companies",
    "text": "If you are a regular reader of this blog - you will know that I am no financial expert. I haven\u0026rsquo;t 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 - focussing too much (IMHO - on cost not value) .. but lets move on.\nToday’s topic - PE. Which is NOT the same as VC. Not at all.\n🔗🎙️ This podcast is from Decoder\n Today, I\u0026rsquo;m talking with journalist Megan Greenwell about her new book Bad Company: Private Equity and the Death of the American Dream. It comes out June 10th. It\u0026rsquo;s fantastic and maddening in equal measure. I highly recommend it.\n 💬 Nilay Patel - (Decoder)\nIt is - not unnaturally - US centric - and there, for sure, the problem has been growing since KKR and Nabisco back in the 80s. (Made famous by Bryan Burrough’s Barbarians at the Gate book at the time.\nMoreover, there are plenty of people far more qualified than I to fill you in on PE. But I can\u0026rsquo;t resist setting a little scene \u0026hellip;\nThough the podcast went into the history and problems of PE in the US, it did not explore one of the more insidious aspects of US PE companies - the \u0026lsquo;roll up\u0026rsquo;.\nExample, if you have a pet, you know who your local vet is … BUT - you may not know that between 30 and 50 percent of those \u0026lsquo;local\u0026rsquo; veterinary clinics are now owned by a PE company (sorry - hard to get the percentage more specific - but that is also why this can happen). This? Yes - that ownership was just 10%, 10 years ago.\nIn 2020, NONE of the top 30 CPAs had taken any PE money. In 2025, 50% of the top 30 companies in the U.S.A. are either wholly owned or partially owned by PE.\nToday, somewhere between 1/3 and 1/2 of ALL PE investments is into the US ‘consumer services’. Consumer Services is primarily what we call \u0026lsquo;Hospo/Supermarkets\u0026rsquo; in New Zealand.\nWhich brings me to my point. Our language - MY language has been for years; \u0026lsquo;Buy local.\u0026rsquo; \u0026lsquo;Buy from the \u0026lsquo;little guy\u0026rsquo;.\u0026rsquo; \u0026lsquo;Support your local community.\u0026rsquo; I believe that this idea is very important in New Zealand - but if this takes off in New Zealand - how will we know who is REALLY local?\nCase in point \u0026hellip;\nTransport \u0026hellip; I have pushed against Uber since they started - and since arriving in New Zealand - pushed harder - pointing out that for every dollar spent on an Uber takes 25%(ish) not just out of the pockets of the taxi business - but out of the country - because Uber is essentially a Californian Tech company. Fast forward to today and .. scooters.\n  When I got to Auckland Uber (via Beam) and Lime were the two scooter companies that I was aware of. Beam got thrown out for being \u0026lsquo;🔗 naughty\u0026rsquo; and then there was one - ruling the waves until the end of last year when contracts were renewed and \u0026lsquo;Flamingo\u0026rsquo; appeared. Look at their site and they describe themselves as being funded by \u0026lsquo;Private Equity\u0026rsquo; - but drill in, there is no significant company in there that I can see - just a cabal of local (Kiwi) business people who seem to like Jacksen Love\u0026rsquo;s idea and invested. TBC - this is GREAT - I am not saying all PE is bad. And giving Lime a run for their money - I am in.\nSo what about New Zealand - are we going to follow the US - or be different?\nI always hope and want for different, but I remain dubious.\nIn NZ, the majority of PE are locally owned companies (maybe up to 20 of them) and less than a handful of International companies. (3?)\nIt wouldn’t be fair to measure the number against the US, which operates at a radically different scale to New Zealand - so how about a ‘per capita’ measure.\nTurns out that\n in the US there are around 18 PE companies per million people in the U.S.A. in New Zealand, there are around 4 PE companies per million people  In New Zealand - PE is roughly 4 times the size of the VC industry - pretty much the same ratio as in the US.\nI have no idea of the real power and influence of PE in New Zealand. Certainly the VC world is tiny compared to the US and not really made up of significant players - and valuations are a lot lower than what can be achieved in the US - which is part of the reason we tend to lose out great ideas and companies to the US. (Xero. RocketLabs. Soul Machines. Auror and \u0026hellip; and .. and - still it is going on - most recently a tiny little company with big ideas - Grw.ai exported themselves to San Francisco.\nSo - we do need to grow up - and value properly competitively. Otherwise - who are we kidding. BUT, if we do do that- how do we avoid the \u0026lsquo;greed trap. How do we avoid VCs and worse BIG PEs taking over our local businesses?\nFinal case in point\u0026hellip; Optimal Workshop - cool company down in Wellington, took a 🔗 PE investment of $10,000,000 (Kiwi) in 2022 from Pioneer Capital - Pioneer are a local PE company - all good.\nHere\u0026rsquo;s the thing. OW are in a very busy and focussed space (depending on how you cut the cloth) and Thoma Bravo - one of the larger US based PE companies ($US184 Billion in assets under management) - just before and just after the OW investment dropped well over 200 times that on a couple of their \u0026lsquo;competitors\u0026rsquo; (its complicated) and merged them.\n Customer experience is mission critical to organizations, and the combined company will be well-positioned to further market expansion, accelerate innovation, and provide even greater insights to its customers.\n 💬 A.J. Rohde, Senior Partner at Thoma Bravo\n🔗 Pioneer meanwhile owns a majority stake in OW \u0026hellip;.\n (a share I can't reconcile based on publicly available information - because even a 50% stake would mean a valuation of 20Kiwi - post money - which would point to a revenue of 5Kiwi at a 4x multiple - but any public numbers (none of them from OW) had revenue at 5 to 7 million US - close to double.  BUT - whatever the story - it is not a large number if Thoma wanted to buy them - particularly when you look at their customer base and their ability to grow globally from Wellington. Imagine the possibilities if they were on Market Street, San Francisco?\nPioneer could easily collect a 5 times multiple to their investment from just 3 years ago if Thoma Bravo made them an offer, New Zealand would lose another great company, but the investors? They would be just fine. See how that goes? (Assuming that the New Zealand Commerce Commission approved it - they have stopped such sales before.)\nAll hypothetical of course, though in the USA it would be a slam dunk decision (apologies for the Basketball reference). But this is the conundrum.\nOr is it? What do you think?\n",

According to The Wall Street Journal, the bank advised Pretoria — which has been in the White House’s crosshairs for months over its close ties to Russia and its genocide case against Israel at the International Court of Justice — to scrap a law that requires Black ownership of some businesses as a way to get into the Trump administration’s good graces. It also recommended Pretoria walk back a land-seizure law that angered Elon Musk, who claimed it discriminated against White farmers. Japan and Saudi Arabia have also consulted with the Wall Street giant.\n ",

We both had read \u0026lsquo;everything\u0026rsquo; he had written - and certainly for me I know that will not be true, but definitely I hit the 45 to 50 books range - I can still picture them on my my book shelf in my teenage bedroom.\nBUT - we both agreed that the reading was a long time ago - and not sure if they would stand the test of time - based on writing quality (?) Not sure that is the right term.\nSo interesting to see this today \u0026hellip;\n among Isaac Asimov\u0026rsquo;s many faults, his total lack of interest in characters meant some deft footwork by the writers of the Foundation television series.\n 💬 William Gallagher\nYes - that is probably it. I don’t recall him being an \u0026lsquo;emotional\u0026rsquo; writer, which as a teen I didn\u0026rsquo;t miss. It was the ideas that I was after.\n",

(Not to say it isn\u0026rsquo;t a good album - not that other songs aren\u0026rsquo;t great, and is all to say that the track named on the album notes is why the album is on the list. 🎵 I also have an apple playlist of the featured tracks.\n ",

Even the more cautious analyst forecasts, hovering near 360,000, were missed by a wide margin. In all, Tesla missed consensus by more than 10% and underperformed even the lowest projections by about 20,000 vehicles. Deliveries also tumbled 13% year-over-year, the sharpest quarterly drop in the company’s history.\n .. and then …\n And yet, in a twist straight out of the Musk playbook, Tesla stock staged a comeback. After plunging as much as 6%, shares flipped positive – up 5% – on a Politico report suggesting Musk might step away from his role at the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).\n Really?

And it just worked - because of course it did.\nHere’s the thing … when I post - it gets syndicated - and with the syndication comes different conversations in different spaces. ( for me - for now - federation good, but not really the time - nor the inclination TBH - to merge it all together - partly because those spaces are - and react - differently )\nThat said - sometimes a conversation breaks out here on Micro blog - with some great comments - and they sit - isolated - sad.\nNo longer ..\nI can now reblog a comment in a thread - that gets pushed out as a new post which in turn is itself syndicated - so someone over in one of the other spaces can now see the occasional pearls and then come on over and have another look. #GameChanging\n",

Finally posting it ….\n While there were 60 or so people in the \u0026lsquo;pre approved\u0026rsquo; TSA line .. for some strange reason there were maybe 3 of us in the non pre approved line. Plain sailing right? Not so fast.\nMy computers could stay in the bag .. my shoes could stay on .. but my jacket and belt had to come off. #whatever … oh and empty your pockets. I did. Oh .. and take off your shoes (see earlier instruction). I walked into the scanner … and the alarms went off … bugger … had left my phone in the rear pocket of my jeans.\nOff it went to get scanned. Meanwhile I now need to be ‘rescanned’.\nI was told to stand to the side so i didn’t block the way. I looked behind me .. nobody there.\nEventually some dude appears and I am manually scanned. In a very rigorous, thorough and intimate way. (Though I was allowed to keep my clothes on and no anal probes were used.) Still nobody in my line .. so I asked .. why not just rescan me with the machine?\n Because you fucked up\n .. replied the Federal TSA agent.\nRight then.\nAll done and I went over to collect my stuff off the conveyor. All there .. no phone. No people. No bags coming through STILL no phone. Eventually they tell me to go to a different line to get my phone.\nThankyou … In the big scheme of things - really - who cares - except ..\nAll of this in a little airport called Palm Springs. Not NYC. Not DFW. Not SFO. Not LAX .. but Palm Springs. I guess the TSA wannabe disease is spreading.\nImagine how you will be treated in a big airport if you make one step out of line - much less the treatment you are going to receive that is actually being reported (though not that much in the mainstream media).\n",

In many ways playful ideas on a tech first world that even then was apparent - much less today. (Hat tip to my friend Jeff Orgel who gave me \u0026lsquo;HumanIT\u0026rsquo;.) (And now you know why I started \u0026lsquo;People First\u0026rsquo;.)\nReading this today makes me think that this movement might just be an idea whose time has finally come … (another hat tip - this one to ‘Victor’.)\n🔗 (The) Automattic Operating System | Matt Mullenweg\nToo early to talk about what I was doing one day last week - BUT - reading this totally resonated for me and let me start to explain why and then - when ready - I will come back at another time and in another post to talk about what I was doing.\nBTW - I am increasingly a big fan of Matt and his thinking. (It started with him taking a stand against bullies) \u0026hellip; and yes - I know I am \u0026lsquo;at odds\u0026rsquo; with a number of readers on that one - but that\u0026rsquo;s ok. Right?\nVive la différence  At Automattic, the most important product I work on is the company itself. I’ve started referring to it as the “Automattic Operating System.” Not in the technical sense like Linux, but the meta layer the company runs on. The company isn’t WordPress.com or Beeper or Pocket Casts or any one thing. I’m responsible for the culture of the people who build those things, building the things that build those things. It’s our hiring, our HR processes, our expenses, the onboarding docs; it’s all of the details that make up the employee experience — all the stuff that shapes every employee’s day-to-day experience.\n 💬 Matt Mullenweg\nThere are too many buzz word applications with throw away thinking that circulate the interwebs for my taste - and I do what I can (a single voice in a cacaphony of band waggon jumpers) to stop that. BUT the Automattic Operating System is not one of those - it really is a concept that resonates.\n A full ‘4π Steradian’ piece of thinking.\n  (Seperate thought - 🔗 this is the Inc piece that Matt is referring to in his article.)\n",

    "text": "🔗 How Long Can the Apple TV+ Experiment Sputter On?\n🔗 Apple Losing Over $1 Billion A Year On Streaming\nAnd still they don’t get it.\nIn business there is a concept called channel attribution where they try to tie the expenses of email, social, web site, collateral, inside sales, field sales …. You name it .. to sales - and then leaders of those departments attempt to win more budget for their channel because that channel will give the best ROI. #Bollocks\nBack in ’96 a little company started up - its intention was to be the solution to omni channel attribution. Bought by Adobe 15 years later to continue to do that. It doesn’t but that’s an altogether different story. Today, the likes of Gartner even maintain a category called multi touch attribution it’s big - and still doesn’t answer the question.\nBut - back to Apple. The thing that both those pieces up there are going on about is meaningless and strikes me more as ‘reverse Channel attribution’. In this model they are trying to work out what revenue contribution to the mothership each channel (streaming in this case) is responsible for and whether it is profitable. I am far from convinced Apple thinks this way. In face they barely even break out their hardware, much less something like streaming. (That said - if anyone really wants to get into the down and dirty look no further than [Horace Dediu])(https://www.asymco.com) - but I digress.\nIF that was even a concern of Apple’s do you think they wouldn’t have been doing something about it? I could go on - but will resist - because @gruber said it best.\n How much did Apple \u0026ldquo;lose\u0026rdquo; on electricity bills last year?\n He had two pieces on the NON story. 🔗 Here and 🔗 here\n🔗🎵📼 Please Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood\n",

It also had be examining my decisions on not becoming a US citizen - but first \u0026hellip; beyond the Ukraine and Europe \u0026hellip;\nOver in The Far East. 🔗 The New World Order Is Here, And America Isn’t Part Of It\n The foreign ministers of Japan, China, and South Korea gathered for the first time since 2023, posed for ceremonial photographs, and drafted plans for an Asian future where American preferences no longer command deference.\n  The collapse of American influence isn\u0026rsquo;t happening because the U.S. military is weaker or its economy smaller. It\u0026rsquo;s happening because trust in American judgment, consistency, and commitment has plummeted.\n And in Global Intelligence someone much more knowledgeable than me …\n PS 5 March, 2025. A further sign of trouble in the Five Eyes' alliance was a long report just noticed in the Financial Times_ on 25 February that Peter Navarro, one of Trump\u0026rsquo;s closest advisers, was urging him to expel Canada from the membership, although even Steve Bannon is reported to have said that this was a bad idea.\n Right then!\n I have long been asked given how long I have lived in the USA - why I never became a US citizen. “Because I never wanted to become a US citizen”, was my usual reply. I am English. (Just in case you are new to this blog - I am being very specific. English - which politically and by my passport means that I am British - but how long is that going to last? So, just declaring my side.)\n But you can keep your British citizenship an and become American - dual citizenship.\n And my reply has always been that I find it intellectually challenging to swear allegiance to two countries. (OK - strictly speaking I never swore allegiance to The United Kingdom - I just am.), but were I to have become American …\n \u0026ldquo;I hereby declare, on oath, that I absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state, or sovereignty, of whom or which I have heretofore been a subject or citizen; that I will support and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I will bear arms on behalf of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform noncombatant service in the Armed Forces of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform work of national importance under civilian direction when required by the law; and that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; so help me God.\u0026rdquo;\n (My bold)\nI know - it’s ‘just words’. But to me - words mean something. That is why I am and remain British - until it goes to hell and a hand-basket - at which point - I am with the English.\nBack to the USA ..  The principles embodied in the Oath are codified in Section 337(a) in the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), which provides that all applicants shall take an oath that incorporates the substance of ….\n (Which includes these words - again my bold)\n Renounce and abjure** absolutely and entirely all allegiance and fidelity to any** foreign prince, potentate, state, or sovereignty of whom or which the applicant was before a subject or citizen;\n Pretty clear - which gets ignored when everything is sweetness and roses. But it isn’t any more. Which got me to wondering first about 🔗 John Oliver to pick one famous random name, but really more about people like Mike Myers, Drake, Neil Young, Justin Bieber, Will Arnett, Michael J Fox \u0026hellip; well, here\u0026rsquo;s a 🔗 more complete list as Trump threatens Canada with war.\n What Do You Think?

    "text": " Michael Steele, former chair of the RNC and current host on MSNBC, discussed what’s happening with SSA on his show. He asked the audience, “Folks, take a moment. Do you really trust Elon Musk to get you your checks on time? Well, the most recent commissioner of the social security administration definitely does not.” I’m not worried about timing as much as I am concerned about getting them at all, but Steele got to that. O’Malley believes: “Ultimately, you’re going to see the system collapse and an interruption of benefits. I believe you will see that within the next 30 to 90 days.” We have already seen it. Remember Ned Johnson? He’s not the only senior who has experienced this, but it gets worse. The more confusion Musk can create, the easier it will be for money to go “missing.”\n ",

Possible fixes …\n  any plan to have Wordland connect directly to Micro.Blog?\n  anything on the cards to have a SIMPLE live post updater for micro blog .. I know there is a drafts action that kind of does that, but eventually that clutters up drafts\n  is there a change that could be made to the WP to MB feed so that WP updates did get reflected on MB\n  Number 3 would be useful more generally but is likely not possible otherwise it would already be done.

    "text": "I think describing who I am, what I want and need and everything else besides based on my age is baloney and claptrap. Hell - I’d put more money on being defined by astrology. But still this bunk persists.\nIt\u0026rsquo;s getting weirder.\nConsider the labels and birth-year brackets commonly used to pigeonhole entire generations:\n1.\tThe Silent Generation: Born 1928–1945 (17 years) 2.\tBaby Boomers: Born 1946–1964 (18 years) 3.\tGeneration X: Born 1965–1980 (15 years) 4.\tMillennials (Generation Y): Born 1981–1996 (15 years) 5.\tGeneration Z: Born 1997–2012 (15 years) 6.\tGeneration Alpha: Starting from 2013—so far, 12 years  And now?\nApparently we are already ushering in Generation Beta - 3 years (at least) early.\n Generation Beta officially arrived on Jan. 1, successors to Gen Alpha. While the name follows the conventions of the Greek alphabet, its connotation is less scholarly and more sus for some young parents and every school-age child. Beta is commonly used as slang for weak and passive.\n 💬 Ann-Marie Alcántara, WSJ\nSeriously - The Wall Street Journal? The article wasn’t on the \u0026lsquo;joke page\u0026rsquo; - and last time I looked they weren\u0026rsquo;t doing satire - though I get it - it\u0026rsquo;s increasingly hard to tell in this climate. But still.\n Is this really real? Who decided this? Who\u0026rsquo;s in charge? Who\u0026rsquo;s making the rules?  It\u0026rsquo;s a Corporate Marketing con that for some eye popping reason \u0026lsquo;we the people\u0026rsquo; seem to have adopted.\nWhy?\nIt\u0026rsquo;s right up there with \u0026lsquo;content\u0026rsquo; - if you are following you know what I am talking about. But in case you don\u0026rsquo;t - 🖇️🔎 I have hundreds of posts on the topic) that can be reduced to this \u0026hellip;\n Content is a horrible, generic, cheap, ‘anything will do’ kind of word. Which is why it has no value. As long as ‘we the creators’ fall into the trap of using low cost, homogenous, non-descript words like ‘content’ to describe our work, our soul, our beliefs, our passion, our effort, then our work will continue to be viewed as ’free–to–cheap–to–low–cost’, homogenized, non-differentiated, interchangeable fodder and we will only have ourselves to blame as the payment for our art, our thinking, our ideas continues to race to the bottom. Bottom line … the ‘con’ in content is there with intent.",

Microsoft Teams is a terrible product \u0026ndash; and I dread using it. In simplest terms, Teams is a perfect encapsulation of a bureaucratic, archaic, and outdated 50-year-old company that is trying to reinvent itself as an AI leader.\n 💬 Om Malik\n It single-handedly destroyed the long-distance calling business. Most young people today don\u0026rsquo;t remember, but long-distance calls used to cost a lot of money. Especially for immigrants, calling home used to cost a fortune. Skype made it free.\n 💬 Om Malik\n In the early days of podcasting, seemingly every show used Skype because it was so much better than anything else. And it was free! It felt like the future. I don\u0026rsquo;t think it\u0026rsquo;s an exaggeration to say that if not for Skype, podcasting would\u0026rsquo;ve been set back several years.\n 💬 John Gruber\nSharing these - and Om nailed it in that second quote.\n Especially for immigrants, calling home used to cost a fortune.

    "text": "At one point in 🖇️ Zero Day, De Niro talks about Freedom and Liberty.\nPerplexity\u0026hellip;\n The terms freedom and liberty are often used interchangeably, but they have nuanced differences:\nFreedom generally refers to the ability to act without external constraints or interference. It is the absence of restrictions, allowing individuals to pursue their desires and actions without hindrance.\nLiberty, on the other hand, emphasizes freedom within a framework of responsibility and law. It involves being free from arbitrary or oppressive control while respecting the rights of others and adhering to societal rules. Liberty assumes accountability and is often tied to justice and fairness in a structured society.\nIn essence, freedom is broader and can exist without limits, whereas liberty is freedom regulated by responsibility and mutual respect.\n I kind of have/had that in my mind - but not all the time really only when I think about it. AND Perplexity is right - the terms are used interchangeably.\nI would go further.\n It happens a lot. It happens more and more. It happens too much. It is happening to muddle the mind. I am pretty sure it is sub consciously and constantly passing through our collective brains.  It\u0026rsquo;s a good reminder and one to watch out for as certain people scream \u0026lsquo;Freedom\u0026rsquo; \u0026hellip; of whatever they are talking about.

    "text": "Over on LinkedIN .. 🔗 The downfall of Soho House.\nTurns out that SH is in the ‘dodo’. Personally not surprised. Never a member - often as a guest back in the day - but more recently as I noticed that ‘everyone was a member’, I felt something was up - but too many other rabbit holes to dive into.\nBack in the day it was a wonderful place. Seems to me that it fails for similar reasons that exclusive fine dining restaurants and this ‘boutique wineries’ ultimately fail .. you can’t scale exclusivity.\n‘But what about Patek Philippe Watches and Hermes bags’ I hear you cry. ‘Different’ I reply. Product - not service. You can manage the demand. For example - there are Hermes bags for sale that you can’t buy - even if you can afford one.\nAnyway - back to Soho. This came to mind.\nThat\u0026rsquo;s why it was predictable.\n",

    "text": "A little over a week ago - I threw out 🖇️ this little billy do onto my blog and thought nothing of it. To save you the click through I was just pointing out some internet speeds I was experiencing - and asked what my response should be. Here on MicroBlog I got 4 comments over the next 24 hours. I dunno - par for the course? Now - through the power of Micro.Blog - these posts are also syndicated to BlueSky, Mastodon and Threads.\nOn BlueSky (185 followers) after 6 days … Crickets #### On Mastodon (275 followers) after 6 days … apart from 1 \u0026lsquo;like\u0026rsquo; … again, Crickets #### And on Threads (158 followers) after 6 days … holy hell! \u0026hellip; 809 likes, 346 comments and over 55,000 total views \u0026hellip; All of this definitely not to say \u0026lsquo;look at me\u0026rsquo; and all about \u0026lsquo;WTF\u0026rsquo; .. and what actually makes people tick. I don\u0026rsquo;t do twitter - but when I did - and generally on any of these sites - if I hit double digits - I am eternally surprised. This Threads thing actually delivered 2 orders of magnitude more comments than the likes I would typically achieve. Needless to say, I have not even tried to read - much less replied to - the 336 comments - but as I watched the thing spiral up - it was interesting to see it take a life of its own. #### Questions So many - that I don\u0026rsquo;t know where to start - so I won\u0026rsquo;t.

    "title": "Systems of Truth? Reality or Pipedream?",
    "text": "When I read Scott Brinker (ChiefMartec) I generally feel that our thinking is aligned, but his images often seem to be designed to create fear and creating a speech bubble above my head that reads something like \u0026ldquo;my god - how the hell can I keep up\u0026rdquo;. They don’t, IMHO give clarity. Well, maybe back in 2011 .. maybe - but I recall back then it still seem overwhelming ..\nBy the time I got to 2024 - I was seriously asking myself what is the point? (Although it didn’t stop me reading his posts.)\nSo I initially found his post from today a breath of fresh air, imagine \u0026hellip; \u0026lsquo;Meet the new martech stack: systems of context and systems of truth\u0026rsquo;\nAnd in it I found a reasonable framework;\nWhich I liked - because it aligns with my \u0026lsquo;Business Equation\u0026rsquo; thinking.\n.. but then I read the piece and even Scott calls out my initial thought\u0026hellip;\n Now, squinting at my diagram you might ask, \u0026ldquo;Isn\u0026rsquo;t this just systems of engagement and systems of record with different labels?\n 💬 Scott Brinker\nBut that isn\u0026rsquo;t where I am going, because \u0026lsquo;words\u0026rsquo; are important.\nSystems of Truth Truth? Who\u0026rsquo;s Truth?\nI am a customer of Citibank. Their system of record will tell you that my home address is up in Marin, North California. I live in SoCal - and never bothered changing it - the bank is minor to my requirements - and everything I do is online - why waste my time.\nMy mobile provider is different again.\nThe data farms/lakes/mountains (using such nice natural sounding words to describe tools of the surveillance economy aside) hosted by the large corporates can never show absolute truth about me - they will only ever have a filter/slice/view of who I am .. which is partly what I choose to share - which will vary from person to person and their context at the time.\nThese are not systems of truth, they are the systems of record of the corporation that houses that particular set of data. To be fair - Scott does make that distinction in his piece (my bold).\n they remain the arbiters of truth for data within their domain\n 💬 Scott Brinker\nand then goes on \u0026hellip;\n We never achieved a true single system of truth (SSOT). Turns out there are just too many domain-specific data truths. But with a universal data layer on bottom and domain-specific data governance platforms on top, we now have many systems \u0026ndash; plural \u0026ndash; of truth.\n 💬 Scott Brinker\nSo why change it? Again - referencing my example at the opening of this section - Citi do not have the truth about my residence. No matter how hard they try - they have a System of Record - so why muddy the waters and call it Truth (other than climbing an board with attempting to use a \u0026lsquo;word of the moment\u0026rsquo;.)\nSystems of Context I would argue that systems of engagement by definition includes that of context. In face to me - that is the whole point.\nScott clarifies;\n Instead of a monologue, where a brand serves a contextual experience based on its own definition of the buyer\u0026rsquo;s journey and what it thinks the buyer wants, concierge AI agents will engage buyers in a true dialogue to understand and serve their actual context.\n 💬 Scott Brinker\nand then\n A little farther out on the horizon \u0026ndash; but maybe not that far \u0026ndash; buyers will use their own AI agents to interact with our systems of context. These aren\u0026rsquo;t customer-facing AI agents that sellers control. These are customer-owned AI agents that they control. They will inherently shape the experience to the context of the buyer.\n 💬 Scott Brinker\nAaah yes - that promised nirvana - putting the customer in control (or at least their agents - but who owns the agents?) \u0026hellip; remember we live in a world where if we buy a digital book - you don’t actually own it - why are agents going to be different.\nIf it is - I will be first in line for that service - but breath not held. And this is why.\nClosed Systems It will have been around 20 years ago that Joyce Searls asked if a corporation has a \u0026lsquo;CRM\u0026rsquo; that allows them to \u0026lsquo;manage their relationship with their customer\u0026rsquo; - why don’t we (people) have a \u0026lsquo;VRM\u0026rsquo; to \u0026lsquo;manage our relationship with our vendors? Put simply, if I change my cell number, I need to let the change be known to each of the vendors I use \u0026hellip; electic, gas, utilities, bank, uber, amazon \u0026hellip;. you get the picture. A VRM would allow you to make one update - and your vendors systems of record would be updated accordingly.\nTwenty years later, we still don’t have that.\nBut John - I hear you cry - AI is going to change all that - to which I say excellent - when?\n\u0026hellip; and back to those personal AI agents. How? Yes there will be a small cadre of people who will download agentic models and live in that rarefied world of \u0026lsquo;sovereignty\u0026rsquo; - but given that most people don’t know - or think to act on even managing their phone notifications - I don’t see them downloading their personal agentic models just yet. And even if we do - the corporations have to allow us to do that - first and then allow that model to interact with their systems. They aren\u0026rsquo;t really very good at that when you think about it.\nFor all of this - I am pretty sure that Scott doesn’t come from my POV - but rather that of the corporation, which I think explains our different take. It\u0026rsquo;s clear just by looking at this image form his article \u0026hellip;\nHe puts those systems of truth right slap bang the middle.\nI would have the exact same image - with me - the individual in the center - with my system of TRUTH - and context filter around that to expose the slices of truth I want a corporation to see and use in their own systems of engagement.\nAnd that can be built by starting here.\nStopping here for now - but this is a bit topic -and I think needs more to be said.\n",

(Problem, because 20 images in a collection resulted in those 20 images appearing at the bottom of all the posts that featured the collection which I felt was overwhelming. Not anymore.\nMy real desire was to feature them on each post on my blog as a scroll (like on the micro/blog timeline. (The default was to lay them all out on a grid - which resulted in the post being overtaken with a lot of old images). Nothing in the standard CSS allowed for that.\nMy short term fix was to have a link on a post to a page, 🖇️ like this.\nBUT - let\u0026rsquo;s face it - a kluge.\nJust cracked the entire problem in less time than it has taken for me to write this post.\n Give ChatGPT current CSS Ask it for the CSS that would do the same job - but so that images weren\u0026rsquo;t just there - but featured as a scroll.  First Time.\nSee what I mean : https://john.philpin.com/2025/02/17/inspired-by-people-martin-luther.html\nNext job \u0026hellip; Have the scroll sometimes display square images - and sometimes landscape / portrait.\n",

    "text": "I am unsure if they are connected - so parking this here while we think.\nThere is also something going on with the Argentinian playbook - which I am planning to publish in a newsletter.\nI am no expert - but my spidey senses are up \u0026hellip; Bitcoin, Argentina, El Salvador .. OR, it’s all summarized thus \u0026hellip;.\n Bitcoin El Salvador introduced bitcoin as legal tender in 2021 and then - as now - one Tim Draper has oft’ spoken breathlessly of how cool it is that a sovereign nation has adopted it.\nTim Draper Expects Bitcoin to Transform El Salvador Into One of the Richest Countries in the World.\nThe flag waving by Tim has never stopped.\nThat Said\n El Salvador’s experiment with Bitcoin as legal tender since 2021 has had mixed results. Only 8.1% of the population have used Bitcoin for payments by 2024. Seperately, the initiative faced criticism for its volatility, lack of transparency, and limited impact on remittances, which make up a significant part of the economy. Even so, El Salvador’s Bitcoin investments turned profitable by late 2024 - BUT the government has not recouped the costs of promoting the cryptocurrency. So, in December 2024, El Salvador agreed to scale back Bitcoin policies to secure a $1.4 billion IMF loan (Dollars speak) which included making Bitcoin acceptance voluntary and reducing public sector involvement in Bitcoin-related activities. Despite all of this by the end of 2024, its holdings surpassed 6,000 BTC which seems to have grown to 6,055 BTC as of February 1, 202. Value? Over $612 million.  Perspective\nIn a recent Bloomberg interview, Michael Saylor, executive chairman and co-founder of MicroStrategy, revealed that beyond his company\u0026rsquo;s holdings, he personally owns at least 17,732 Bitcoin, currently valued at approximately $1 billion.\nYup - Saylor personally owns 150% more Bitcoin than The country of El Salvador - and let’s not forget that his company MicroStrategy owns another 471,107 bitcoins.\nQuestion\nWhy do we still trumpet the El Salvador story?\nPrisons  El Salvador’s Terrorism Confinement Center (CECOT) is the largest prison in Latin America, with a capacity to hold 40,000 inmates. The facility spans 410 acres of land, with the prison complex itself covering 57 acres (approximately the size of seven football stadiums). It features eight cell blocks and extensive security measures, including electrified fences, reinforced walls, and 19 guard tower. It was built in late 2022 during a large-scale gang crackdown and officially opened in January 2023. Population of El Salvador - 6.5 million The USA has a total prison capacity across federal, state, and local facilities that can house 1.9 million people in federal prisons, correctional facilities, state prisons, local jails, and other detention centers.\n Today’s News\n# Could US criminals be sent to El Salvador\u0026rsquo;s mega-jail?\n President Nayib Bukele confirmed that he had offered the United States of America the opportunity to outsource part of its prison system\u0026quot;. Putting aside the legal questions of exporting US citizens to another country’s prison system - I am wondering what’s going on.\n Back Of The Napkin - Capacity\n El Salvador : 6,500,000/40,000=162.5 - in just a single prison USA : 350,000,000/1,900,000=184.2 - total capacity  Back Of The Napkin - Prisoner Count\n🔗 Source\n El Salvador : 1,086 prisoners per 100,000 people in the population USA : 531 prisoners per 100,000 people in the population  ",

    "text": "Popped into a local store last night - total purchase around 10 bucks and I only had a $100 note. It seemed to be a rare event … and making the change work was … challenging. But we got there - with lots of notes and change coming back. Stuffed it into my pocket and walked off.\nThis morning I was just sorting out all the papers and notes ready for a fresh day and on checking I seemed to be short of a few dollars. Checked three times - I was definitely $30 bucks short.\nI was PISSED. I KNEW what had happened, but too late to go back and complain about the short change. Made a note to myself - lesson learned.\nLater this morning I bought a cup of coffee and decided to use some of those notes to make the wallet thinner.\nI counted them JOHN out - and as I returned the notes to the wallet spotted a fifty. Wait. A FIFTY?\nI sat down and recounted.\nI hadn’t been short changed at all - in my pre-coffee early morning hallucinatory mind I had counted the 50 as a 20.\nGAH. I am so sorry. I never complained, so you don’t really know. But I think an apology is still necessary. Mea Culpa.\nPosting this - and book marking - to remind my future self that people are generally good and I need to always check myself just one more time before \u0026lsquo;going off\u0026rsquo;.\n",

    "text": "I don’t think the Beatles were the greatest band that ever lived. There I said it. I know there will be people that disagree with me.\nThat said, even with two views of ‘truth’ it is still possible to have a deep, interesting, meaningful conversation that might open my mind and who knows … \u0026lsquo;theirs\u0026rsquo; as well. In other words in this case true connection is possible even if the participants have different ‘realities’.\nBUT - and it is a big but .. that does require a willingness on both sides to bridge those differences through empathy, listening, open-mindedness and communication. It is that very act of seeking to understand others - and in turn be understood - that creates a space where connection thrives.\nI think loneliness emerges from the inability to connect.\nIt remains possible in music, literature and sport to name but three random topics of conversation in the public square (the real public square - not the dumpster fire), so why not in politics? I have an idea.\nI think true connection can be fostered when individuals prioritize mutual respect and shared humanity over complete agreement or identical perceptions.\nSadly, when it comes to politics the broad swathe of humanity are being trained by a few ‘bad actors’ (let’s keep it civil) to ignore that.\nWhen did that start? Well, we all have ideas I am sure. Here\u0026rsquo;s mine \u0026hellip;\n Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists.\n 💬 George Bush\n.. but he wasn’t the first.\n Anyone who isn\u0026rsquo;t with me opposes me, and anyone who isn\u0026rsquo;t working with me is actually working against me.\n 💬 Matthew 12:30\nLenin and Mussolini also used similar phrasing to get their point across. This is a ‘both sides’ argument that has been effectively used over a couple of millennium to get the support of the masses.\n When will they ever learn.\n 💬 Pete Seger\nNever?\nI am not sure how to fix it.\nWe\u0026rsquo;ve gone deep down the rabbit hole. It\u0026rsquo;s going to get worse. A lot worse. Before it gets better.\n",

    "text": "I published 🔗 this post back in July last year \u0026hellip; after months of delay and noodling and questioning, I finally released it - and as with so many of my posts that I often wonder why I bother .. crickets.\nFrom that piece - if you’ll forgive me for quoting myself …\n Sadly the Internet has been weaponized and far from creating a place to be educated about the differences of people and countries and life - we are being forced into submission. It\u0026rsquo;s a place where ignorance is not so much celebrated as ignored - and ignored because on the whole it isn\u0026rsquo;t recognized, and if you do anything counter to the noise - expect to be piled on because 🔗 you are either with us, or against us.\n It has only got worse. Since the 6th, I have been thinking a lot about \u0026lsquo;whither next\u0026rsquo; \u0026hellip; and then, a couple of days ago I became aware of a debacle in this little corner of the internet we call Micro.Blog. Not going to get into it here - if you are reading this - you almost certainly know what it’s about., but were I to reduce the whole thing to a single word it’s called BULLYING.\n\u0026hellip; and as far as I am concerned … bullies can fuck off.\nHere\u0026rsquo;s the problem - any semblance of being able to have your opinion is rapidly disappearing - if not gone already. That used to be \u0026lsquo;across the aisle\u0026rsquo;, now it\u0026rsquo;s wormed its way into every corner of every room. And this is an \u0026lsquo;all sides\u0026rsquo; problem - witness the Micro.Blog \u0026lsquo;contretemps\u0026rsquo; referred to earlier. Again - you are either with us, or against us - and that means - all of these concepts are being expunged form our discourse;\nAmbiguity\nAmbivalence\nBalance\nComplexity\nContext\nDepth\nDuality\nFinesse\nGray area\nHarmony\nNuance\nParadox\nPerspective\nReflection\nRelativity\nSensitivity\nSpectrum\nSubtlety\nTone\n🔗 A simple, non viral case in point. - the link jumps to a short thread on Substack where I dropped a throw away comment to a comment from Ken Klippenstein and within minutes I got a reply clarifying my tongue in cheek question and what was meant by the executive order. I have learnt my lesson - I need to punctate any and all comments with a smiley emoji \u0026hellip; \u0026lsquo;all\u0026rsquo; because I am well aware that I am overly glib and sarcastic in most of my online comments.\nTo save the click through, I also quote this - from ChatGPT \u0026hellip;.\n facetiousness seems to be waning touches on broader shifts in communication patterns. The rise of digital communication has led to a decline in face-to-face interactions, which traditionally allowed for the nuanced delivery and reception of facetious remarks. Without the benefit of vocal tone, facial expressions, and body language, the subtleties of facetiousness can be lost or misinterpreted in text-based mediums. Moreover, the immediacy and brevity of digital exchanges often prioritize efficiency over the layered wit that facetiousness entails. As a result, such forms of humor may not translate well in online environments, leading to their diminished use. This shift underscores the complex relationship between evolving communication technologies and the ways we express and perceive humor.\n And then just this morning, this popped up in my feeds from Om - posted 18 months or so ago \u0026hellip;.\nYou can read the whole post \u0026lsquo;What’s The Truth?\u0026rsquo; here.\nNot holding back this time. Serendipity has spoken.\nWhat Do You Think? ",

I’ve even weighed into a few of the debates myself …\n  🔗 How We Grow New Zealand\n  🔗 How do you change the state of NZ\u0026rsquo;s economic performance?\n  🔗 Brits Flocking To Australia\n  🔗 We\u0026rsquo;re taking Europe for granted.\n  Of course it doesn’t help when one of the leading Kiwi journalists writes NZ now frozen, listless, mean \u0026amp; hopeless\nHere is one slice of that data from the Worlddata link above.\nUnited States 14\nAustralia 17\nNew Zealand 18 United Kingdom 19\n.. but check out the average monthly income which in turn drives the purchasing power index.\nUnited States 100\nAustralia 81.4\nUnited Kingdom 63.8\nNew Zealand 63.5\nI’ll let the UK number sit for you to absorb. I am more interested in the two antipodean counties … turns out Australia has a little more than 30% MORE purchasing power than New Zealand.\nNo more handwringing needed. I don’t know the exact ins and outs of the rules of NZ and OZ - BUT to all intents and purposes, citizens of each country can jump to the other almost on a whim much as someone in the US can move to a different state. It\u0026rsquo;s not exactly the same - but for a while now there has been a steady exodus of NZ nationals to OZ for a long time - but its getting a lot more problematic - through to September(ish) of 2024 - an average of 200 Kiwi nationals per day left New Zealand to settle in Australia. When you look at that discrepancy - is there any wonder?\n(Side Note - 200 per day for 365 days is 7,300 people - that is 0.14% of the country!)\nOf course - there’s more to life than the cost of living - there is also the 🔗Quality of Life - and delighted to report that New Zealand - despite its poor showing on the cost of living scale delivers a satisfying 9th in the world for Quality of Life - nestling right between Japan and Spain. So at least they have that. BUT \u0026hellip; to borrow a phrase from Aoteraoa …\n “Yeah … No”.\n Turns out OZ is the number one destination in the world for Quality of Life.\nMe? For all of that handwringing that goes on \u0026hellip; I think the powers are solving the wrong problem really well.\nJust In Today Science overhaul lays out a fundamental challenge for New Zealand\n",

It\u0026rsquo;s called The Business Equation\n 🔗🔎 BusinessBytes\n",

I used to (maybe a couple of decade ago) associate the phrase as spam - a way for snake oil salesmen and spammers to attempt to elevate itself above its actual class of ‘worthless shit’.\nI looked it up \u0026hellip;\n The phrase \u0026ldquo;top-notch\u0026rdquo; can indeed be associated with spam emails. It is listed among various words and phrases that spam filters commonly flag as potential indicators of unsolicited or promotional content\n Recently, I felt that it had disappeared, at least from my world … until 2024 - where it seems to have found new life - with people who I know are not spammers.\nThe resurgence is interesting, because I still can’t disassociate the phrase from the action of ‘avoid at all costs’.\n",

Pepe and Rowan were instrumental in my treatment, especially when Jax was told by another doctor to \u0026lsquo;prepare for the worst\u0026rsquo;, that it was too late for surgery and maybe - just maybe - he might be able to \u0026lsquo;give me more time\u0026rsquo;. Pepe and Rowan\u0026rsquo;s dedication and care made a significant difference as did their knowledge and skill. Not only that but Rowan introduced me to Alien Weaponry .. a Maori Metal band (I know!),\nAll this to say. Thank you. I couldn\u0026rsquo;t - and therefore wouldn\u0026rsquo;t - have made it without you. Thank you for your contribution to my life. I am alive, and grateful for every moment.

    "text": "I wanted to talk about the illness that you suffered because it definitely had to do with your ability to enjoy food.\nYour first wife Catherine died in 2009 from breast cancer and you married Felicity Blunt who happens to be the sister of Emily Blunt and you write in the book about how with both you had a lot of mutual interest in great food.\nIt\u0026rsquo;s really a through line in your life.\nYou have this wonderful set of relationships with food and then a few years ago you end up being diagnosed with a kind of oral cancer.\nThis began in the saliva gland, is that right?\nNo, no.\nIt began, it never was in the saliva gland, but my saliva was severely compromised, basically for all practical purposes disappeared during the treatments and for a long time afterward I still don\u0026rsquo;t have all my saliva back.\nIt was at the base of my tongue, but it manifested itself.\nThe pain was a referred pain up in my jaw, in the back of my jaw.\nSo they thought it was a tooth, they thought it was trigeminal neuralgia, they thought it was a million different things except what it was, which was cancer.\nAnd so I was misdiagnosed for two years, I did acupuncture, I tried a whole bunch of different things and nothing worked and finally the tumor became so large that it was quite visible to this one doctor here who happened to be a salivary gland guy.\nAnd so he looked, he goes, look, this is what you have, this is what you\u0026rsquo;re going to do.\nAnd I was horrified, I was terrified.\nLuckily it had not metastasized and that was a really obviously good thing, but the treatment was brutal, brutal.\nAnd after three years, I\u0026rsquo;m cancer free, but after three years, I\u0026rsquo;m still not back to normal because there was an extremely high dose of radiation they had to give me.\nHeavy radiation and chemotherapy.\nAnd while this is happening, what happened to your sense of taste and smell?\nDisappeared.\nNo, I can\u0026rsquo;t say it disappeared.\nIt didn\u0026rsquo;t disappear.\nI wish it had.\nWhat happened was everything tasted like, you know what, and everything smelled like that too.\nAnd that went on for months and months and months and months.\nMy mouth was so compromised, you know, it becomes just completely ulcerous.\nI had to have a feeding tube for six months.\nI couldn\u0026rsquo;t even drink during the treatment and even a bit afterward, I couldn\u0026rsquo;t even drink water because it burned my mouth so much.\nAnd still to this day, I can\u0026rsquo;t really eat spicy things at all.\nAnd only recently have I been able to drink carbonated water because carbonation really just it\u0026rsquo;s so hypersensitive, your mouth.\nIt was horrible.\nI was basically bedridden for six months.\nAnd you had small children.\nYour daughter, Camilla, was actually born.\nYeah, she was born in the same hospital where I was getting treatment in New York.\nAnd it was at Mount Sinai and these doctors were absolutely incredible.\nI feel very, very lucky to have found these doctors and one of whom has become a friend of ours.\nAnd I just feel so, so lucky that, well, that I had them, that they were able to heal me.\nYou lost a lot of weight and some hair.\nI lost my facial hair, but that\u0026rsquo;s grown back for the most part.\nNot fully down on the neck, but yeah, there was one day it just all fell out.\nAnd then one day when I woke up, I don\u0026rsquo;t know how many months later, eight months later or more, even more, I looked and it was all blue underneath my nose.\nMy upper lip was all blue and I was like, what is that?\nAnd then I realized my hair had grown back.\nMy mustache had grown back.\nLike literally overnight, it was weird.\nAnd my daughter said, dad, what do you have under your nose?\nI said, it\u0026rsquo;s my hair.\nIt\u0026rsquo;s coming back.\nAnd then the rest of it slowly came back.\nThe other odd thing about it is that the effect that it had on your metabolism and the food allergies you\u0026rsquo;d had, what happened?\nWell, it increased my metabolism.\nI already had a fast metabolism, but it increased it.\nSo I was down to about 134 pounds or something like that.\nAnd I think I had weighed about 165, 167 or something when I went, which actually was a bit too heavy for a person my height and age.\nSo it took a long time for me to gain the weight back.\nSo I\u0026rsquo;m about like at 153 pounds now, which is fine with me.\nBut it\u0026rsquo;s taken three years to do that.\nAnd any allergies I had to dairy or to wheat or to like bananas disappeared, completely disappeared.\nWow.\nIt\u0026rsquo;s like you rebooted.\nYeah.\nRebooted.\nIt\u0026rsquo;s like they say, when you go to a gastroenterologist, they\u0026rsquo;ll cut out, or a dietician, they\u0026rsquo;ll cut foods out of your diet to see if you have an allergic reaction, to see what you\u0026rsquo;re allergic to.\nAnd then you slowly reintroduce them.\nWow.\nSo now, I mean, you said that you don\u0026rsquo;t, you can\u0026rsquo;t eat spicy food.\nYou don\u0026rsquo;t have quite your normal amount of saliva, but does food taste like it should?\nCan you enjoy the spaghetti with zucchini?\nAbsolutely.\nFood tastes, yes, like it should, except sometimes fruit tastes odd.\nI don\u0026rsquo;t know why, but so that\u0026rsquo;s odd.\nBut everything else, no, in fact, it\u0026rsquo;s almost heightened now.\nSo I can smell things that I couldn\u0026rsquo;t even, that I never would have been able to smell before.\nAnd I can taste things much more quickly, like I\u0026rsquo;m much hyper aware of what things taste like now.\nYou know, you\u0026rsquo;re right that you chose to tell the story of the illness in the book in part because the experience taught you how important food was to you, not just as sustenance or, you know, sensual pleasure, but that a comfort, a challenge, and a way of connecting with people you love, including generations that have gone before, you know, when you eat these meals of your ancestors and when your parents are gone, people will know them in some way through that.\nThis struck me as a lovely insight, and it also struck me as, it kind of reminds me of the comforts and connections that many people get from religion and religious ritual to connect to generations and people through it.\nYeah, it is, I suppose it is a kind of religion for me.\nI\u0026rsquo;m not a religious person.\nBut if there is one thing that\u0026rsquo;s holy, it would be food.\nI\u0026rsquo;m going to reintroduce you once more.\nWe\u0026rsquo;re going to take another break here.\nWe are speaking with actor Stanley Tucci.\nHis new book is Taste My Life Through Food.\nWe\u0026rsquo;ll continue our conversation in

show, It\u0026rsquo;s Been a Minute, we\u0026rsquo;re breaking down some big crossover moments in pop history and asking if they worked.\nListen to It\u0026rsquo;s Been a Minute from NPR.\nThis is Fresh Air and our guest is actor Stanley Tucci.\nHe has a new memoir about food.\nIt\u0026rsquo;s called Taste My Life Through Food.\nWell, Stanley Tucci, we try to prepare thoroughly for interviews here on Fresh Air and for this end, in this weekend, rather than watch another movie of yours, I decided I would make one of the recipes in your book and I did this last night and the one I picked was the spaghetti con zucchini al neurano.\nThere\u0026rsquo;s a story behind this dish which you tell in the book and in the CNN series.\nYou want to share that with us?\nYeah, we went to, it\u0026rsquo;s a dish that comes out of the region of Campania and Campania is where Naples is in the Amalfi Coast.\nSo a really beautiful, beautiful area but a very poor area of Italy and still actually quite poor even though you have the sort of very ritzy places like Positano and all that.\nBut this dish was a revelation to me.\nWe were on a boat that a friend of ours had for a few days and we went to this restaurant called Lo Scoglio which is right on the coast and I ordered that dish.\nAt the time, I couldn\u0026rsquo;t really, I was having, I couldn\u0026rsquo;t really eat meat because of the treatments I had had.\nSo I had to have something really soft and simple and I ordered that dish which is spaghetti with sauteed zucchini, really rather sort of fried zucchini but not fried to, yeah fried I suppose would be the word and basil and salt and olive oil, that\u0026rsquo;s it.\nAnd I tasted it, I\u0026rsquo;d never tasted anything like it.\nI said, there has to be something else in this and they were very insistent that there wasn\u0026rsquo;t.\nAnd of course it has like a little Parmigiano in it.\nSo I became obsessed with it and so did my wife.\nSo we came back home, we started making it.\nWhen I was doing more episodes of the series, the last two series, we were going to do Campania and I said we have to go to this restaurant.\nAnd we went to the restaurant and they made it there for us and the only thing that differed was because I kept saying, there\u0026rsquo;s got to be something else in this.\nAnd then I found out there was a little dollop of butter.\nBut frankly, it doesn\u0026rsquo;t really make that much difference.\nIt is absolutely the most delicious thing you\u0026rsquo;ll ever have and everyone who has it, it feels the same way about it.\nIt\u0026rsquo;s a dish that fishermen\u0026rsquo;s wives used to make them because that was what you had.\nThe fish was sold but you were made, for the most part, but you had to eat something so that\u0026rsquo;s what they made.\nI don\u0026rsquo;t know that I did it all as they would have at the restaurant but it was delicious.\nOh, it\u0026rsquo;s delicious.\nIt came out?\nYeah, it came out.\nYou slice this zucchini really thin.\nYou want small zucchini and then you kind of deep fry it and then the only problem I found is that when I put it together, the zucchini tended to want to stick together rather than mingle among their friends in the spaghetti and so they kind of tended to clump a little bit but it all worked out.\nDid you put a little bit of the pasta water in?\nAbsolutely.\nI mean that was critical.\nThat and the Parmesan gives it that wonderful creamy sort of savory feel.\nOh, it\u0026rsquo;s gorgeous.\nI know it\u0026rsquo;s gorgeous.\nYeah.\nYeah, sometimes they do kind of stick together.\nYou know, you mention movies in passing in this book.\nNot a lot about them.\nSometimes in a slightly disparaging way you\u0026rsquo;ll say, you know, I had to spend all this time on a movie that nobody should see.\nYou do have an entire chapter on the catered food that gets served to actors and crews.\nYou know, but I wonder if acting is now kind of a craft that you know and you use from time to time but you don\u0026rsquo;t feel the same passion for?\nI feel passionate about it when if I see something I really want to tell that story and be a part of that story.\nI do, the only thing really for me about acting is waiting.\nI love when the camera starts rolling.\nIt\u0026rsquo;s fantastic.\nBut you know, 80% of being on a movie set or more is just waiting if you\u0026rsquo;re an actor.\nAnd that\u0026rsquo;s very boring.\nYou can\u0026rsquo;t, it\u0026rsquo;s very hard to concentrate on anything else because you know you never quite know when you\u0026rsquo;re about to go on set and you need to reserve your energy besides.\nSo it\u0026rsquo;s really just about that and I think for somebody who likes to do a lot of things like I do, I find that idle time really frustrating.\nSo I think that\u0026rsquo;s my, that\u0026rsquo;s really my problem with it.\nDo you audition these days or do you just get roles?\nNo, no, no, not for many, many, many years, thank God.\nA recent role was, you start with Colin Firth in Supernova, a film called Supernova where you\u0026rsquo;re a couple dealing with the fact that you know one of you is suffering from early onset dementia and it\u0026rsquo;s a really touching look at how this affects this relationship.\nYou and Colin Firth are old friends, right?\nYeah.\nAnd I read that you were originally cast in the opposite roles and you talked to each other and decided it would work better to switch.\nYeah, I mean this is very rare that that might happen.\nBut because we\u0026rsquo;re such good friends, you know, we could talk about it and when he said it to me, he proposed it and I said, you know, I\u0026rsquo;m glad you said that because I was thinking the same thing.\nIt was just something about it so we read both, we did it both ways for Harry, the director and he went, yeah, okay, let me think about it overnight.\nAnd then he was like, no, you\u0026rsquo;re right, you\u0026rsquo;re right.\nIt\u0026rsquo;s better this way.\nAnd we don\u0026rsquo;t really know why.\nIt\u0026rsquo;s just there was something rhythmically better about Tusker for me and, you know, Sam for Colin.\nWell, you know, I mean, you just, you know, you\u0026rsquo;ve had some relevant life experience here.\nI mean, you had to take care of your wife, Kate, for a long time while she had breast cancer and then there was that long stretch while you were dealing with it.\nAnd in a busy house, you\u0026rsquo;re lying in bed, kind of incapacitated and others have to be your caretakers.\nYeah, I didn\u0026rsquo;t like that bit, yeah.\nI\u0026rsquo;m not very good at it.\nI hate even, I mean, the thing is I very seldom got sick.\nI mean, I might get a flu every now and again, maybe, but if I got ill, it would pass very, very quickly.\nYou know, I\u0026rsquo;d be sick for about 24 hours and that was it.\nI very seldom even got colds.\nSo when this happened to me, I was horrified and I don\u0026rsquo;t, you know, I like to get up and do things and to not be able to even climb up a flight of stairs was really, really hard.\nYeah.\nHow did you deal with the depression?\nI looked at Pinterest, I\u0026rsquo;m not kidding.\nI looked at Pinterest and I would just try, I would actually get up and cook even though things would smell really gross to me.\nI would cook anyway.\nAnd Felicity said, actually, she goes, you know, some of the times when you cook during that period, she goes, your cooking was really good.\n",

Except, in a way, it kinda is… let me explain.\nThis part of John’s business model is a weekly sponsorship. He sells them upfront. He can sell two on the same week. And if one becomes open suddenly\nHere’s the deal: my calendar is showing some similar gaps. Now, I don’t operate exactly like John Gruber—heck, we’re not even in the same space—but at the core, the goal is the same.\nAnd honestly, for-profit organizations aren’t as different from each other as we might like to think.\nI like to imagine every organization as a magic box. It takes inputs—people, capital, resources—and transforms them into outputs: products and services that are sold to customers. Ideally, every window of time is filled with something that generates revenue for the business.\nThese are sold to customers. Ideally, every window of time is filled with something that generates revenue for the business.\nThis urgency is one reason why so many rush to create products that can “make money while you sleep.” The aim is to replace perishable inventory with non-perishable. And while that’s a great approach, it’s not what I do, because—despite what I just said—every organization is unique.\nSo here I am, reaching out to the internet to help fill those gaps.\nIf you have a business—or know someone who does—that’s struggling to boost revenue, let’s chat. I’ve got frameworks, methods, and a book that’s gotten some praise from fellow writers worldwide.\nOver the years, I’ve tried it all: flywheels, funnels, category marketing, guerrilla sales, challenger sales, social selling—you name it, I’ve probably experimented with it.\nHere’s the biggest takeaway:\nIt’s all about the synergy of teamwork and a shared purpose.\nIf you’re ready to turn those inputs into something extraordinary, drop me a line. Let’s make some magic happen.\nThis version aims for a conversational tone while still driving home the main points and inviting engagement.\n 🔗🔎 BusinessBytes\n",

    "text": "\u0026lsquo;Storm in a teacup \u0026lsquo;or fallout not yet settled?\nAt the very least the story reflects poorly on Intuit\u0026rsquo;s head of communications who clearly doesn’t understand how communication works in 2024.\nAnd yes I have listened to the whole podcast. The guy clearly doesn\u0026rsquo;t even understand journalism!\n 🔗📼 What we\u0026rsquo;ve got here is failure to communicate\n🔗 Intuit\u0026rsquo;s PR Team Has Seemingly Never Heard of the Streisand Effect\nGood post from John @Gruber today - and not wrong. But I think there’s more.\n🔗 This is Rick Heineman’s LinkedIN Profile\n 1.144 followers on LinkedIN He seems to have NEVER posted - despite being at Intuit for 7 1/2 years  If you are ‘THE’ dude for communications at a place like Intuit - you should understand how social works. The data on his profile suggests he doesn’t. For all I know he might be a Rock Star over on TikTok - haven\u0026rsquo;t bothered to look - but for Intuit - surely this is a place to have a presence?\nHe wouldn’t even need to do it himself. He has \u0026lsquo;people\u0026rsquo; for goodness sake.\nAll I know is that IF you are in corporate communications for any enterprise - you need to be at least socially aware. ideally \u0026lsquo;active\u0026rsquo; - whatever that means. . If that company is B2C (and I think Intuit is) - then double down on this.\nHe got promoted just 6 months ago. Maybe he was trying to make a name for himself.\nHe clearly has.\n",

Who knows, you might already know it, it seems to have been circulating the socials - so of course - I did a little bit of triangulation. It looks legit.\n🔗 More Here\nThe Story At 40, Franz Kafka (1883-1924), who never married and had no children, was walking through a park one day in Berlin when he met a girl who was crying because she had lost her favourite doll. She and Kafka searched for the doll unsuccessfully.\nKafka told her to meet him there the next day and they would come back to look for her.\nThe next day, when they had not yet found the doll, Kafka gave the girl a letter \u0026ldquo;written\u0026rdquo; by the doll saying\n \u0026ldquo;please don\u0026rsquo;t cry. I took a trip to see the world. I will write to you about my adventures.\u0026rdquo;\n Thus began a story which continued until the end of Kafka\u0026rsquo;s life.\nDuring their meetings, Kafka read the letters of the doll carefully written with adventures and conversations that the girl found adorable.\nFinally, Kafka brought back the doll (he bought one) that had returned to Berlin.\n \u0026ldquo;It doesn\u0026rsquo;t look like my doll at all,\u0026rdquo; said the girl.\n Kafka handed her another letter in which the doll wrote:\n \u0026ldquo;my travels have changed me.\u0026rdquo;\n The little girl hugged the new doll and brought the doll with her to her happy home.\nA year later Kafka died.\nMany years later, the now-adult girl found a letter inside the doll. In the tiny letter signed by Kafka it was written:\n \u0026ldquo;Everything you love will probably be lost, but in the end, love will return in another way.\u0026rdquo;\n Embrace change. It\u0026rsquo;s inevitable for growth. Together we can shift pain into wonder and love, but it is up to us to consciously and intentionally create that connection.\n",

    "text": "🔗 Nice to see ‘Disrupt’ \u0026lsquo;growing’\n… not by size - it has been a big show for a long time - but in terms of thinking.\nTo my mind the revolution that drives tech startups is disruption - yet too often the result is destruction. Sometimes directly, sometimes an unintended consequence. (I Need to Write That Post.)\nBeyond that, the historical challenge is that disruption and destruction seem to get conflated - even at times used interchangeably. They are not the same thing.\nIn short ..\nDisruption can be positive or negative, acting as a catalyst for change depending on how we view it.\nDestruction is the act of causing irreparable damage or making something cease to exist.\nBut there’s more … that other word \u0026hellip; \u0026lsquo;innovation\u0026rsquo;.\nInnovation is too often associated with ‘disruption’ - but that is not actually the case, though \u0026lsquo;disruptive innovation\u0026rsquo; does tend to grab the headlines for radically altering industries or ways of thinking, but not all progress has to come from upheaval.\nIn many cases, steady, incremental improvements can lead to significant advancements without the need to completely overhaul existing systems. Building on what already works, refining processes, or enhancing current technologies can be just as powerful.\nBoth disruption and gradual innovation play important roles in driving progress—it’s about choosing the right approach for the context and the goals at hand.\nNobody explains this better than Geoff Moore (of Crossing The Chasm fame), who wrote Zone To Win … His framework speaks volumes.\n.. and worthy of another \u0026lsquo;reminder\u0026rsquo; post sometime, (A Second Post I Need to Write.) but not the point of this post, which is that this all came to mind as I was looking at the headline speakers for Disrupt this year.\nDelighted to see Mary Bara headlining. To be clear, I am no gear head / auto follower - but it seems to this casual observer that she has done a much better job at navigating the shark invested waters of the global automobile industry than her major competitors. The nay sayers will argue \u0026lsquo;lack of innovation\u0026rsquo;. They are wrong. It\u0026rsquo;s just that her focus has been on the right side of Geoff\u0026rsquo;s matrix. Not to say that she hasn’t also been pushing on the bottom left, just not always with great success and that is where all the noise is.\n/ #TwoCents\n",

Yes - 30 years is right - that’s when these things started to appear.\nOf course in the intermediate time - they have just got better worse.\nEven to the point of AI🖇️ Avatars Doing Job Interviews\nYou cannot make this stuff up!\nA lot of my objections about so much of this tech is that it;\n ends up in corporate hands is misused is badly misused is extremely and badly abused  … and all the time never does anyone build a similar system for people.

    "text": "One day, just out of the blue, a political activist from San Francisco got her hands on our old pitch deck and posted it and basically tried to cancel us and said, look at this terrible company.\nThey\u0026rsquo;re teaching two-year-olds to read.\nCan you believe the nerve of them?\nThe rest of the internet was very confused and said, actually, this sounds amazing.\nWhy are you mad at this company?\nThe rest of the internet made fun of her for like three days straight and she didn\u0026rsquo;t back down and it was amazing.\nHaters do the best marketing.\nNiels Hoeven didn\u0026rsquo;t just launch Mentafa, he set the stage for something bigger.\nAnd there\u0026rsquo;s a powerful lesson in that.\nPattern-breaking startups don\u0026rsquo;t follow the usual marketing playbook.\nInstead, their marketing is as radical as their products.\nLet\u0026rsquo;s dive in.\nThis is Mike Maples, Jr.\nand welcome to the Pattern Breakers podcast, where we explore why some founders radically change the future and how they stand apart.\nTogether we\u0026rsquo;ll learn about the counterintuitive mindsets and actions behind their remarkable success.\nBrace yourself for a world where chaos is welcome, naysayers are often a positive signal, and movements galvanize misfits who transform the impossible to the inevitable.\nMost startups stick to traditional methods of getting their message out.\nThey see themselves in a market, fighting for a larger share of it.\nThey launch campaigns and run programs.\nThey try to catch the eyes of people most likely to buy, by honing the right messages and driving leads through a sales funnel.\nTo get more PR, they try to get their story told in the right publications, through the right media, and the right channels.\nBut the Pattern Breakers?\nThey don\u0026rsquo;t follow the old rules of marketing.\nThey don\u0026rsquo;t just market a product.\nThey aren\u0026rsquo;t looking to capture share of an existing market.\nThat\u0026rsquo;s thinking small.\nInstead, they ignite a movement where they ultimately rise to the top uncontested, while others later scramble for the leftovers.\nAnd they don\u0026rsquo;t depend on the media or outside voices to shape their narrative.\nThey speak for themselves, directly and boldly, telling the world their story in their own words.\nSo how do they do it?\nWhat can we learn from the example of Niels Hoeven and Mentava?\nLet\u0026rsquo;s break it down.\nFirst, traditional PR won\u0026rsquo;t work for pattern-breaking startups.\nFounders used to rely on others to tell their story.\nThey had no choice.\nTo reach a broad audience, they needed the press.\nThe gatekeepers of media held the keys to public attention.\nAnd without their nod, stories went untold.\nBut those days are over.\nSocial media, email, and other direct channels have made the press less relevant.\nSimultaneously, their abuse of their gatekeeper status has eroded their credibility.\nPeople see through the agendas in their headlines.\nThat\u0026rsquo;s why playing it safe with watered-down, committee-driven messaging is a mistake.\nIf you want to stand out, you must speak boldly, with conviction.\nThat\u0026rsquo;s what Niels did with Mentava.\nTeaching two-year-olds to read at kindergarten level?\nThat\u0026rsquo;s a bold claim.\nIt rattles the norm.\nAnd that\u0026rsquo;s the point.\nWhen you break patterns, you don\u0026rsquo;t stay quiet.\nYou make noise and don\u0026rsquo;t back down when some people decide to come after you.\nSecond, communication is the founder\u0026rsquo;s job.\nThere was a time when founders might stay mostly in the background, focused on building.\nMaybe the media once viewed them as harmless nerds, building a new widget, rather than a threat to the existing order.\nBut those days, if they ever really existed, are long gone.\nYou may not care for some of the heated debates around tech.\nBut many of them care about you.\nAnd if you stay completely out of it, you give up the chance to define a movement.\nAnd without a movement, you can\u0026rsquo;t build a pattern breaker.\nNo one is better suited to lead that movement than the founder.\nNo one else has the same passion, vision, or commitment.\nIt\u0026rsquo;s not about being polished or perfect.\nIt\u0026rsquo;s about being real.\nThe founder knows the heart of the company and can stand up for it when the inevitable challenges come.\nNiels Hoeven nailed this with Mentava.\nHe didn\u0026rsquo;t just launch a product, he launched a stand against mediocrity.\nHis viral moment on X wasn\u0026rsquo;t just about buzz.\nIt was about a bigger message, childhood educational excellence.\nBy sharing his vision, challenging the status quo, and talking straight to his audience, Niels sparked a movement of early believers.\nThird, pattern breakers master the narrative.\nIn marketing, people talk about defining your audience.\nBut it\u0026rsquo;s deeper than that.\nYour audience isn\u0026rsquo;t just a group of potential buyers.\nThey\u0026rsquo;re believers in a shared future.\nA future you\u0026rsquo;re building together.\nSharing the narrative means turning your audience into a tribe.\nYou don\u0026rsquo;t have to latch on to an existing tribe.\nIn fact, it\u0026rsquo;s better if you don\u0026rsquo;t.\nThis isn\u0026rsquo;t about aligning with political causes or adopting someone else\u0026rsquo;s fight.\nIt\u0026rsquo;s not about red vs.\nblue, or the crowds vs.\nthe elites, or the country folk vs.\nthe city folk.\nIt\u0026rsquo;s your chance to define your tribe, speak to them, and create something new that excites their tribal spirit in a new way.\nYou also define the tribe that stands against you.\nThe one that embodies everything wrong with the status quo.\nTraditional marketing shies away from this kind of tribal conflict.\nIt\u0026rsquo;s focused on delivering the right message to the right people, without inviting negative attention.\nPattern breakers go beyond that.\nNiels got this right as well with Mentava.\nHis core tribe is parents who want to help their kids achieve educational excellence.\nHe uses the metaphor of sports.\nJust as a young athlete gets advanced coaching, kids deserve the best education to reach their potential.\nHe also defined his outgroup.\nThose who lower standards in the name of equity, fostering mediocrity.\nBy calling them out, he rallied his tribe more passionately around his cause.\nCreating a narrative also means linking the known to the unknown.\nWhen you\u0026rsquo;re breaking the mold, your vision of the future isn\u0026rsquo;t obvious to everyone.\nYou have to connect it to what people already know.\nYou must show the gap between the world they live in and what\u0026rsquo;s broken about it, and the world you can offer them, a future so clear and compelling they can\u0026rsquo;t help but be drawn to it.\nNiels did this by tapping into parents' frustrations with the education system.\nHe highlighted how policies meant to close achievement gaps had backfired, and then he offered a new vision, a radical approach paired with a product that could make it real.\nFinally, find your foil.\nA real insight means something is broken, and your product is the solution.\nNiels identified his enemy, the cult of educational mediocrity, and by standing against it, he fueled his movement.\nHaters can be a good thing.\nThe right kind of haters, anyway.\nThe ones who stand for everything that\u0026rsquo;s wrong to the crowd you\u0026rsquo;re trying to win over.\nThey show their weakness, and in doing so, they show your strength.\nAs the singer Doja Cat puts it, admittedly in a rhetorical style different from mine, that\u0026rsquo;s a-ratin', that\u0026rsquo;s some hatin', that\u0026rsquo;s engagement I could use.\nBeing controversial isn\u0026rsquo;t a risk to avoid, it\u0026rsquo;s a strength to embrace.\nThe right enemies make your story stronger in the eyes of those who matter, your tribe.\nAnd when your tribe believes, the movement grows.\nSo what does this mean for you?\nA pattern-breaking startup needs a clear, honest story told straight from the founder, directly to early believers.\nThe founder\u0026rsquo;s passion and vision must drive the narrative, building a movement which is as vital as the product itself.\nIf your movement\u0026rsquo;s going to have impact, you need to see your audience as a tribe.\nA tribe that you define based on who you want to join your movement.\nTell them something about the present that hits home.\nSomething they already feel deep down, something they don\u0026rsquo;t like.\nThen show them a radically different future, that can only happen if they answer your call, and work with you to make it real.\nHave a few villains ready, specific individuals who stand for everything broken in the way things are done now.\nDoing this is risky, but playing it safe is even riskier.\nYou\u0026rsquo;ve already stuck your neck out by becoming a founder, so why not go all the way?\nBuild your platform, tell your story, and form a bond with early believers that inspires and endures.\nAnd the haters?\nThink of them as your unpaid marketing interns.\nOne final, inspiring thought.\nVentava\u0026rsquo;s launch teaches us another vital lesson.\nHaving a plan is important, but in the unpredictable world of startups, timing is rarely in your control.\nThe perfect moment may come when you least expect it, when you feel far from ready.\nBut if your mission and values are clear, you\u0026rsquo;ll always be prepared.\nYou\u0026rsquo;ll have the courage to act, to pivot swiftly when opportunities arise.\nIn those unexpected, powerful moments, your clarity and conviction

If you are wondering about the difference, ask yourself if you prefer your children to attend sex education classes or sex training classes.\nSadly most institutions have moved to thinking of themselves as trainers .. so they are ‘workplace ready’. Witness a presentation I sat in just last week where someone from an educational facility was telling us how they are currently revamping their syllabus so that their students could learn how best to work with Ai (sic) … see Stephen Fry’s latest missive.\nI stood up and asked her which University she thought the people making Ai had taught them what they know.\n(Apparently .. that’s different).\nAs for philosophy .. oh and let’s throw in ethics, humanities, liberal arts, critical thinking, hell, even english .. are (should be) all on the rise in education, because it is very clear that we need them …badly.\nI get the picture .. funny.\nBut the humor doesn’t lie in the kid having it wrong and dreaming what might be .. it’s in the dad having it wrong and thinking the future is anything like the past.\n",

During \u0026lsquo;Slow Publishing\u0026rsquo; the writer, editor, producer is also honing the deliverable into something that garners attention, creates a story, a question, a punchline .. that allows the reader, listener .. to get \u0026lsquo;in and out\u0026rsquo; efficiently. In \u0026lsquo;Fast Publishing\u0026rsquo; the reader / listener is required to do that themselves .. spending time sifting through what is being said to get to the essence. Very few people can do that \u0026lsquo;on the fly\u0026rsquo;, you just have to look around and see the swamps of unintelligible noise that the public is now exposed to. The swamp is over flowing. True, there are some excellent people that can do that .. the very large majority can\u0026rsquo;t. That has always been the case.\nThe solution is that we need personal information filters that surface what we want from the swamp.

    "text": "My bone is being tickled by a very funny writer over on Substack by name of Daniel Piper \u0026hellip;\nOne excerpt from his Substack to give you a flavor:\n Last night I went to a dinner party hosted by a friend. After dinner, one of the guests performed a magic trick involving some cutlery and a napkin, much to everyone’s delight. After that, another guest picked up an acoustic guitar and performed a song by the band Oasis. The host then excitedly asked if anybody else had a creative talent they would like to share. I immediately offered to write a short poem on the spot, featuring all of the guests. They were thrilled, and all watched with fervent anticipation as I took out my notebook and started writing. After ten minutes the poem was complete, and they asked me to read it aloud. I refused. They asked again, and I said no. As an author, my talent is the act of writing, not performance. Plus, my writing is deeply personal, it cannot simply be shared with anyone. They seemed disappointed, even after I assured them the poem was excellent. I couldn’t believe it. They had just had the privilege of watching a Serious Literary Author in the act of writing for a whole ten minutes, and now they were complaining. I thought they were being quite ungrateful.\n Something I wrote into The Substack Notes about him:\n I don\u0026rsquo;t always manage to read Daniel Piper each morning, but when I do, my day starts with a minimum of a hearty guffaw all the way through the \u0026lsquo;larf spectrum\u0026rsquo; to that which some describe to be that of a screaming banshee, though I prefer to think of it as a chuckle. I appreciate that this might upset the author, who is by his own account a serious writer and experienced littérateur, but I actually don’t care .. because as both my friends will tell you, it is all about me. (I use the term ‘friend’ in the loose meaning of someone I talked to on ‘The Tube’ .. the London one .. I don’t talk to the bloody telly! That’s what screaming is for.)\nAnyway all this to say that the tune of this particular ‘piper’ resonates. Deeply. Go try him out. Nothing to lose, everything to gain, which is a rare benefit in these trying times.\n 🔗 He\u0026rsquo;s On Insta\n🔗 His Substack\n",

    "text": "Prompt: Write a 5 paragraph article on the topic ‘word’\nResponse: The Power of the Word: A Catalyst for Change Words are more than mere strings of letters; they are the building blocks of communication, carrying the weight of meaning and emotion. From ancient oral traditions to modern digital communication, words have shaped human history and culture. They have the power to inspire, educate, and connect people across distances and generations. The impact of words is profound, making them a vital tool in expressing ideas, sharing knowledge, and fostering understanding.\nHistorically, words have been instrumental in shaping societies and movements. The speeches of leaders like Martin Luther King Jr. and Winston Churchill rallied people to action, inspiring hope and perseverance. In literature, words have captured the complexities of human experience, from the existential musings in Dostoevsky\u0026rsquo;s novels to the poetic reflections in Maya Angelou\u0026rsquo;s works. These words not only entertain but also challenge societal norms and provoke critical thinking, demonstrating their power to influence thought and behavior.\nIn the realm of business and technology, words play a crucial role in branding and marketing. The right words can convey a company\u0026rsquo;s mission, attract customers, and differentiate products in a crowded market. In a world where digital presence is paramount, the words used in websites, social media, and advertisements are key to building a brand\u0026rsquo;s identity and connecting with the audience. The choice of words can evoke emotions, build trust, and foster loyalty, highlighting the strategic importance of language in commerce.\nWords also have a significant impact on personal development and relationships. They can uplift and encourage, or they can wound and alienate. Positive affirmations and constructive feedback can boost confidence and foster growth, while harsh criticism and negative language can have the opposite effect. In relationships, words are the means through which love, empathy, and understanding are expressed. The way we communicate with others, the words we choose, and the tone we use can strengthen or strain connections, underscoring the importance of mindful communication.\nIn essence, words are a catalyst for change, capable of shaping our world in myriad ways. Whether in public discourse, personal interactions, or creative expression, the words we use carry immense power and responsibility. As we navigate an increasingly interconnected world, the careful and thoughtful use of words becomes ever more critical. By harnessing the power of words wisely, we can inspire positive change, foster deeper connections, and contribute to a more understanding and compassionate world.\nPrompt: Please distill this article to a single word … (pasting previous output into the prompt)\nResponse: Catalyst\n So there you have it.\n‘Word’ is a ‘catalyst’.\n‘Word’\n",

In other words a clear arc … that goes on almost the way to Nixon’s loss to Kennedy - and beyond.\nAND\nI never ever knew there was a ‘stop the steal’ movement against Kennedy at that time with people that went back to the McCathy area.\nAfter the ‘titles’ some narratives that connect all that - right up to the modern day - no names per se - but the verbiage is identical.\nGreat job my Madow. The podcast?\nULTRA.\n",

    "title": "We Are Being Forced To Conform",
    "text": "It’s 18 months old - but 🔗 this post from TimUrban resurfaced this morning, where he talks about how long it took to write his book, reminding me of a post I have had parked for a while now. Time to unleash it.\nThe title of this post was originally \u0026lsquo;Are We Being Forced To Conform?\u0026rsquo; I changed it because as I read it before publishing, I think I answered my own question. We are.\nIt all started as I was 🖇️ building on this post which was about flavor (🔗the original Substack and how it reminded me of Rick Beato’s piece on people not understanding something being ‘📼 🔗 out of tune’). Small potatoes really - a little bit o' fun.\nAt the time - over on Substack I commented on the flavor post\n I couldn\u0026rsquo;t work out which bit to highlight so read the whole thing it\u0026rsquo;s the food version of Rick Beato talking about people not understanding what \u0026lsquo;out of tune\u0026rsquo; means … and we wonder why the world is being turned upside down?\n Then I started thinking more about a thread that emerged over on Micro.Blog, where @manton commented that he had started and been noodling a post for months before scrapping it and starting again before he published a post he had been noodling on Gaza.\n🔗 The comments on the original post are informative\nI think 🔗 this is the post that Manton finally settled on., which on the whole assumes a reasonably fair and neutral position that everyone applauded .. and what is really not to love? (A lot IMHO - but that is for another post.)\nWhat follows is the nub of my worry … The French have (had?) an expression\nvive la différence .. that in my life I have used a lot, despite the fact that according to the OED, there are around 0.3 occurrences per million words in modern written English of the word ‘vive’ - let alone ‘vive la différence’. But heh - vive la différence 😂\nThe phrase is used to express appreciation of diversity. Maybe that is why it has fallen out of use? Should I stop using it too?\nWhen I was a lad I learned about standard deviation and how oft times populations fell into some kind of ‘normal distribution’ with the vast majority sitting within ‘±3𝜎’.\nIt seems to this bear that no matter what our private beliefs and personas might be - the crowd is forcing us into only sharing the parts of our personas that fit the vanilla of modern life, with the result that on the face of it, society is forcing conversation in ‘the town square’ to something more like ±𝜎 - and you keep anything outside of that to yourself - for fear of retaliation.\nConsider 🔗 this post from @pratik for example.\nSadly the Internet has been weaponized and far from creating a place to be educated about the differences of people and countries and life - we are being forced into submission. It\u0026rsquo;s a place where ignorance is not so much celebrated as ignored - and ignored because on the whole it isn\u0026rsquo;t recognized, and if you do anything counter to the noise - expect to be piled on because 🔗 you are either with us, or against us.\nOur Way - Or The Highway The Road Less Taken .. ‘Less’, by Bob, not to be confused with ‘Not’, by the other ‘Bob’.\nBob L agrees.\n Rick\u0026rsquo;s video is referenced in para' 4.\n",

    "text": "I thought I would ask ChatGPT 4o\n A “High-performing System” refers to a well-organized and efficient framework or setup that consistently delivers optimal results. This concept can apply to various contexts, such as organizations, technology infrastructures, or even processes. Key characteristics of a high-performing system include:\n Efficiency: Resources, including time, energy, and materials, are used effectively, minimizing waste and maximizing output. Integration: Components or subsystems work together seamlessly, ensuring smooth operations and coordination. Reliability: The system consistently performs well under various conditions, maintaining a high standard of quality and dependability. Scalability: It can adapt to increasing demands or changing circumstances without a significant drop in performance. Innovation: The system incorporates the latest technologies and methodologies, staying ahead of the curve in its field. Adaptability: It can respond and adjust to new challenges, changes in the environment, or shifts in requirements quickly and effectively. Sustainability: The system maintains its performance over the long term, often incorporating eco-friendly or resource-conscious practices.     In essence, a high-performing system is about creating and maintaining a setup that maximizes productivity, efficiency, and quality, while being adaptable and sustainable.\n ",

Christopher Lockhead is one such person and last week I recommended him again.\nEmail received this morning …\n I tried buying Snow Leopard on Apple but only the audiobook is available.\n I was more than a little surprised, but he’s not wrong. I even thought I’d sorted it ..by visiting the book on the 🔗 Category Pirates web site, see the link to \u0026lsquo;Apple Books\u0026rsquo;?\nYeah No. Apparently - click on that button and you are taken to Amazon.\nWhich is a good place to buy the hard copy - but this takes you to Kindle and sorry, no, not going to be doing that.\nI wonder why no Apple Books? I was wondering whether it was the name - and its clash with an earlier OSX. But that was FIFTEEN YEARS AGO, and as mentioned above, the audio book is available.\nWeird - right?\nFear not - I am on the case and if I get answers I will report back.\n By the way - don’t try visiting that book page on a phone, or even the mini iPad - looks like there is something askew with the media settings for the site.\n",

Still at the top of my memory banks sees me sitting beside him at the back of some grey boring conference room in Sunnyvale listening to somebody droning on as he silently passed me his wired ear buds connected to his new iPod and watched me have my mind blown as I listened to …\n🔗🎵 ‎‎Blackest Eyes - Song by Porcupine Tree - Apple Music\nHe dropped me the MP3s that evening - and in turn they got moved to my iPod for my listening pleasure. That weekend I was up in San Francisco and did a detour to this store.\nYes ‘that’ specific one - it had served me well thought the 90s and though Amazon was beginning to creep into my world - Tower still held a special place for me - particularly for special music.\n… and the rest is history - I have heard it all (ok - not \u0026lsquo;all\u0026rsquo; - the dude is prolific), but I do have over FIFTY of his albums in CD format and seen him live in different formats maybe eight times across two continents.\nAll this as a backdrop to this morning’s trip to the Supermarket.\n.. and to say that if anyone spotted me this morning in the Supermarket - smiling, taking my head, bouncing even … this is why. (Jax believes Wilson’s music is sad and makes her sad.) Me? Yes it is sad - but I am with Wilson on this\n “I don\u0026rsquo;t tend to write songs about things that make me happy. I tend to write songs about things that make me angry or melancholic or sad. Those are the things that make me want to express or exercise something through my songwriting. There\u0026rsquo;s a lot of beauty to be found in sadness and melancholia.\u0026quot;\n 💬 Steven Wilson\nIn no particular order - other than this is the order the tracks got played .. and Yes \u0026hellip; Apple Music - because why wouldn’t you?\n🔗🎵 ‎The Watchmaker - Song by Steven Wilson - Apple Music\n🔗🎵 ‎‎Pariah (feat.

Ok well not always, but this surprisingly worked.\nWell - at least until the final episode.\nDo you remember the old (60 years old!) movie with Spencer Tracy - It\u0026rsquo;s a Mad Mad Mad Mad World? I liked the movie - but the images that find their way to the top of my memory is generally large groups of cast members randomly gathered together on a golf green, in a cab, looking in a hole … I mean for that movie - which was a great ensemble cast - total sense, not too mention that I bet that each star was guaranteed a certain amount of screen time … and this is one way to get round that.\nAnyway, back to the plot. Watch the final episode of Hijack and tell me those scenes don’t come to your mind.\nAnd yes - all the usual happy ever after, plane saved with seconds to spare, it was all about the money - etc etc\nShowName on 🔗 Reelgood\n’All’ My TV Show Reviews\n About that ‘spoiler alert’ - really - did you expect a different ending?\n",

Keep focussed on what American voters need to do. You made your decision to break from the UK centuries ago, so who cares what we are doing?\nYour choice later this year is one of two things.\n End your democracy and in turn empower the rest of the nut jobs around the world to do the same. Vote against that.  You the voter are in charge.\nStill in doubt?

I will look up Garth’s contribution to the Muppets Multiverse.\n Feeling that my strategically placed emoji was sufficient to indicate that there was a certain amount of playful humor going on. (Or so I thought.)\nIt took a few days for this reply (my bold)\n I understand you were just making a comment, but I feel it is important to check your facts before making claims about cultural appropriation that may just be fuel for a false fire. \u0026hellip;.\n \u0026hellip; and the writer went on about the contribution of black musicians to the genre \u0026quot; who have been unheard and unacknowledged, and who have contributed so much in largely unrecognized ways.\u0026quot; .. etc etc, stuff anybody with a pulse would know .. and then went on about what they have done in \u0026lsquo;Country\u0026rsquo;.\n\u0026hellip; and .. what facts?\nI resisted responding how the Beatles at the beginning and the Stones - almost forever - did exactly the same thing, as did Led Zeppelin - oh and Elvis. I KNOW - well documented \u0026hellip;.\nI elected not to respond at all. And instead became decidedly less vocal in there at least 😵‍💫)\nCurious that back in April 🖇️ I had cause to write this. I didn’t highlight it at the time - but I wrote it in response to a different thread in this exact same group where I was accused of using tired and well worj sterotypes and tropes.\nMy approach is not to respond and ignore. Easy.\nBut - is there something else going on?\nThoughts?\nPrompted to write all this because - well this reminded me \u0026hellip;\n",

First time in a LONG time, but interested to listen into the WWDC through the Lens of Automation.\n@dsparks and @rosemaryorchard doing a good summary. I second the \u0026lsquo;don\u0026rsquo;t update advice\u0026rsquo;. I have a spare iPad that I use for Beta. So not totally pissed off that it is currently worse than a brick. Worse? Sure - you can at least build something with a brick 😂\nRosemary\u0026rsquo;s take on Shortcuts gives me confidence to try them out again - because for me - life is too short to deal with a string of \u0026lsquo;ifs\u0026rsquo; and other rules shortcomings. Sounds like that might be fixed?\nDavid commenting that Shortcuts was \u0026lsquo;short changed\u0026rsquo; on updates on this round - wondering if that is because Apple Intelligence - from a customer experience POV might be a better way to do something things that previously only Shortcuts could do? Not there yet - but maybe they will get to that when they get to the Apple Intelligence section.\n",

Yesterday the pile was - shall we say - \u0026lsquo;organised\u0026rsquo;. All stuff in same place - just a neater pile than usual.\nToday, I went to pick up iPad and 🍎Pencil - and the pencil was missing. Nowhere. Seperated all devices out - and checked off one by one. Still nothing. I went to the places I usually use it - nada. Lifted couch cushions. Nothing. Stopped search. Started search. Frustration doesn’t even get to it. Two hours and then some. Negotiating with myself - that clearly it was a message from above that my old pencil had run its course - and I could now justify a super duper new one.\nHere\u0026rsquo;s what I think happened.\nThe bank manager got hold of that rationale and somehow planted in my brain that I should take one more look. I did.\nDid I mention the tray that sits beside the \u0026lsquo;iOS stuff\u0026rsquo;? I mean it\u0026rsquo;s there. It\u0026rsquo;s clearly not hiding - and I had looked under and all around it. The lip of the tray curves down so you can\u0026rsquo;t see anything behind the lip if you look \u0026lsquo;underneath from the side\u0026rsquo;. But I knew that and had already looked. I mean - how could anything really be there? It would just fall down again.\nTODAY I LEARNED \u0026hellip;\n.. that the tray has sufficient Nickel plating that it can attract a magnet in say something like an Apple Pencil and snap that puppy nice and tight into and under that lip.\n😬\n",

    "title": "🎈155/366 The First Vision Pro Concert Movie",
    "text": "I have touched on this before but after reading a Lefsetz post over the weekend, decided to expand a little and log the thinking for posterity.\n🔗 Lefsetz Letter - Company At The Sphere - that\u0026rsquo;s the link to where 🖇️ this quote came from that I published this weekend. I said I\u0026rsquo;d be back\u0026hellip;\nAround 2016 - \u0026lsquo;the term \u0026lsquo;spatial\u0026rsquo; was being coined\u0026rsquo;. - though I personally think Apple\u0026rsquo;s \u0026lsquo;spatial\u0026rsquo; is a light year or two ahead of where Mr. Scoble was at the time (He\u0026rsquo;s very quiet these days, isn\u0026rsquo;t he?)\n🖇️ But February this year I made some pretty logical predictions about the first Vision Pro Movie.\n🖇️ And in October last year I was predicting that The Sphere was a pretty good place to start on a ‘Vision Pro Concert Series’ - and I think Apple will be the one to do it. Well, maybe not \u0026lsquo;doing\u0026rsquo; it - but certainly financing it.\nI still think that.\nBut who will be the director and/or subject matter for this groundbreaking event?\nWho\u0026rsquo;s Out? Despite Tay Tay\u0026rsquo;s global appeal, it won\u0026rsquo;t be her. The Swifties don\u0026rsquo;t have the money to buy the Pro.\nPeter Jackson is deep into the latest tech to do great things, definitely a friend of Apple - and his foray into music with The Beatles is interesting - but no, no Sphere experience and besides 🔗 he is deep into his next Trilogy .. as Producer - not Director, but still ..\n Original \u0026ldquo;The Lord of the Rings\u0026rdquo; trilogy filmmaker Peter Jackson and his partners Fran Walsh and Philippa Boyens are producing the movie and \u0026ldquo;will be involved every step of the way,\u0026rdquo; Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav said during an earnings call Thursday.\n Phish? I dunno - not seeing it.\nSo Who\u0026rsquo;s In? Two very real possibilities \u0026hellip;\nU2 - deeply intertwined with Apple - remember the album? And then they were first up at the Sphere - and Zane Lowe hanging out with them, talking with them. We have seen some of the footage, but who knows what was taken off the \u0026lsquo;back stage\u0026rsquo; for the first Vision Pro movie?\n\u0026hellip; but I am wondering - and well out of left field - but \u0026hellip;\nThe Grateful Dead - who have always been at the bleeding edge of touring and spectacle\n The \u0026lsquo;Home\u0026rsquo; band for Bay Area based Apple Sphere residency happening - even as I type Residency coincided with Earth Day 2024 (very ‘Appley’) Lots of San Francisco through time imagery featured in the show 🔗 and then there is this - Huff Post - so maybe a pinch of salt is needed, written eight years ago …but written by Bill Bradey, so not his usual subject matter - but certainly no slouch. Note that Mayer is also part of The Sphere residency.  It’s all fitting in for this bear.\nThe only hard thing to reconcile is that ‘Tay Tay’ problem. Is there an overlap?\nI think there just might be.\nWhat do you think?\n",

    "text": "My reply to @ridwan got a little long, so I thought I might not reply and start a new thread.\n🔗 This is Ridwan’s original post\nThis is my reply to his comment under that post …\n We are in for a Labour government, which is a done deal. However, Is Keir Starmer\u0026rsquo;s the PM after 14 years of Tory squander? I see him as just another politician who will say anything to get elected and turn his back on the people who voted Labour. I guess, even if people do vote for Labour, how many really vote for Keir?\n My Reply Like all good British elections - very few people will get to vote for The PM .. 😀\nThe problem however is the same as ever it was - who the hell would want to get into politics anywhere these days - so you are left with those that do and when they do - you want to know what is wrong with them - and why - and \u0026hellip;. I have a three thousand word introduction to the book about all of this - that I have in my head - but it will never reach paper or screen of any kind.\n Here\u0026rsquo;s what I do know \u0026hellip;   Vote or Don\u0026rsquo;t Vote - BUT if you don’t vote - you don’t get to complain later.\n  If you chose the first option - understand what principle(s) you are voting for - what problems you are wanting solved etc - and base your choice on the best of the candidates to do that. (There is no other choice.)\n  2.1) sometimes those calls are things like - \u0026lsquo;he\u0026rsquo;ll bring back school lunches - the other guy took them away\n2.2) sometimes they are broader in nature - this candidate will ensure that billionaires pay the \u0026lsquo;same rate\u0026rsquo; of tax as the rest of us, the other doesn’t get it\n2.3) sometimes the choice is that there is a clear and present danger to me, society, my country and the world \u0026hellip; with the other - not so much.\nALL ARE VALID\n.1 , .2 and .3 will vary by voter - sometimes on the day but more importantly - because of their general inability to\na - conceive of, b - understand, c - see the impact on themselves should it come that, d - concern themselves with others - so long as \u0026lsquo;I\u0026rsquo; am ok e - just grok \u0026hellip;\nThe possible outcomes of the wrong solution to \u0026lsquo;2.3\u0026rsquo; and/or don’t believe them.\nSo - if enough people at the 2.1 level voted for one person and enough people didn’t vote for the \u0026lsquo;other\u0026rsquo; person because they are too old, trips on stairs, mumbles .. guess who wins?\n (Apologies a US biased set of criteria that is very real at the moment - but you get the drift - e.g. - back in Blighty - compared to David Cameron, Theresa May and Boris (the THREE Prime Ministers that served when Jeremy was the Leader of the Opposition for just 4 1/2 years .. how much worse off would we be?\nI do know that JC was and is on the side of PEOPLE - and has served in Govt fighting the fight for over 40 years. When he was ousted - he didn’t slink off like the last 4 Tory PMs did to reap their financial rewards, cashing in with the Corporations .. he\u0026rsquo;s still there , serving the people of Islington and still fighting the fight.\nAt a broad character level who would you rather have run the country for the past FOURTEEN YEARS? Seriously - FOURTEEN?\nHeres the thing - the country is being ALLOWED to vote for a party that with one outcome would put Kier in charge. That\u0026rsquo;s not a bad thing \u0026hellip; since Cameron - every single PM has actually been APPOINTED by a few people - it is a few in the Tory party ..\nCameron won in 2010 He won again (just) in 2015 - and I recall resigned over Brexit Theresa May was then appointed As the incumbent she then won the next election, but not very well, so was ousted and Boris moved in Who went on to win his election until Truss was appointed and then little Rishi.\nDespite being in power for 14 years - Cameron was the last PM that actually won the election without first having a dry run as a PM because they had previously been appointed.\nIf Kier turns out to be no good - it is within the power of the Labour Party to remove him and put in someone else - it isn\u0026rsquo;t the first time - as the Tories continually demonstrate.\n The UK isn\u0026rsquo;t the same as the US. Keep the prize in mind. 14 years of Tory Rule might be broken. Don\u0026rsquo;t not vote (for Labour) just because you think the leader is\n just another politician who will say anything to get elected and turn his back on the people who voted Labour.\n You vote for him to get Labour get in power. Don’t like Labour? Vote Tory \u0026hellip; clearly they know exactly what they are doing. Just look around the UK - it is clear.\n If anybody doesn\u0026rsquo;t like all of this? Then it is time for action and to do something about it. Get others to join your cause. Change things. Too hard?\nThat\u0026rsquo;s why we are where we are.\nPS - I know you all know all this. Sometimes I just have to wave my cane!\n",

    "text": "It’s 🔗 Towel Day ( thank you @odd ) - but today also happens to be my 25th Anniversary\nYup - 25 years. Truth be told it had been going on a lot longer - but it was 25 years ago that we actually tied the knot .. and I have had my ‘personal space’ on the internet ever since May 25th, 1999 (Creation Date: 1999-05-25T20:14:36Z).\nNow of course, we had known each other a lot longer than that - long before the web in fact, but you know when you first connect you don’t really note the dates do you? It’s like a permanent honeymoon. Hours merge into days into weeks into months … who really knows when \u0026lsquo;it\u0026rsquo; really all started?\nI can tell you that I first got ‘involved’ with the internet in 1985. I mean it wasn’t what we know today. My own internet experience in those days was email around our international offices .. but it was the internet (ok, ok - intranet - there’s a word you don’t hear much these days.)\nAlthough Google Trends suggests I am wrong \u0026hellip;\n.. again!\nAnyway, I do remember being annoyed that my messages wouldn’t go out to the people I wanted to talk to - you know customers, partners, vendors - all the people a business should be talking to. .. we could only talk amongst ourselves. I mean the Cerne account team could connect to their customer .. why did I have to use Compusurf (sic)? … but that’s a different story.\n( .. and no I didn’t do AOL, Prodigy, Compuserve .. they were never for me - maybe even back then I had the innate desire to avoid being locked into a silo.)\nAnyway, that’s it … 25 Years with my 🔗 own domain ✅\nOnwards.\nHow will I celebrate? Why - taking my towel down to the beach of course.\n",

Could I go further? .. and really, it has to be recognized that this is mainly for me.\nThe Key 1 - The post a day category for 2024 (flagged because it is in a straight of reorganizational flux).\n2 - Experimental category o next couple of weeks it will either be dead or committed.\n3 - 15 years ago I had a site of jokes which got imported as part of my web site consolidation program. Seperately I do flag humorous things. I should merge the two.\n4 - It was never an ‘Instagram import’ - 18 images that came from Insta - shouldn’t they just be ‘photos’.\n5 - Gone.\n6 - I want to move all ‘titled-posts’ to ‘long form’ - if indeed they are long form - a long arduous (who cares) job.\n7 - my\u0026rsquo;xxxx' was a way to keep the categories organized for past year as I organized - do I still need the ‘my’.\n8 - hangover from the People First site - they don’t need a category - so long as I can search and pull them up - thinking.\n9 - people first is the preferred - so need to move peoplefirst across.\n10 - do I need quote and quote wise? Quote is a quote - quote wise are the images that Readwise can deliver.\n11 - another WIP - that will eventually become the ‘top 10 of each category.\n",

If that\u0026rsquo;s the case, what will these places be in the 21st century?\n Good question that was running through my mind when I stumble across this quote …\n “In the day-to-day trenches of adult life, there is no such thing as atheism. There is no such thing as not worshipping. Everybody worships. The only choice we get is what to worship.”\n 💬 David Foster Wallace\nWorlds Colliding. The piece I was reading was 🔗 Cathedrals of the 21st Century from Unchartered Territories, that ends …\n You can see similar processes at play today in places like courtrooms or parliaments, albeit more subdued: They are big, solemn, sound is controlled and there are ceremonies, serious uniforms…\n … and then immediately …\n But you can also apply the same principles and end up with a completely different setting and experience: nightclubs.\n If that observation makes you sit up you should go read the whole thing. Also, some great images throughout as you read Tomas Pueyo’s observations across geography and time.\n",

    "text": "To catch you up, you might have missed 🔗 📼 this video .. you can see it at the bottom of the page.\nWhen I first saw it, I liked the visual effect - but really - not the message. As I wrote over on 🔗 John’s blog\n I saw that vid .. kinda like it .. BUT .. I dunno … destroy everything physical, crush it to nothing ?\n Unbeknownst to this bear - a lot of people were of the same opinion. A ‘furor’ indeed.\nAnyway, in the comments thread on John’s blog he highlighted 🔗this ’twitter post’ from Reza Sixo Safai. This is the 🔗 tweet\nNow on occasions I do pop out from under my rock and have noticed that these days Twitter isn’t a very nice place to go anymore. So - on behalf of you dear reader, I donned my protective suit, sprayed myself from top to bottom, grabbed the video and behold …. With all and every credit to Reza. ’Twitter’ is the only reason I pulled it to be here - because Twitter, so now all can view it - and those with protective clothing can pop over and see for themselves.\n   /* Style to set a fixed size for the video */ .video-container { width: 600px; /* Set your desired width */ height: auto; /* Set your desired height */ margin: 0 auto; /* Center the video horizontally */ } .video-container video { width: 100%; height: 100%; } } /* Media query for smaller screens */ @media screen and (max-width: 600px) { .video-container { max-width: 70%; /* Allow the video to take up full width on smaller screens */ } .video-container video { max-width: 70%; } }    Your browser does not support the video tag.     My comment cannot be better than this one \u0026hellip;\n This is unironically one of the cleverest creative feats I have ever seen. To take a widely-publicized, universally panned ad and then turning it into the exact ad that it should have been, communicating the desired message 10000x better.\n 💬 Amal Dorai\n If you are reading this post on my site, the inline video gives an error. Click on the link above. The \u0026#39;error\u0026#39; is only because the creator wants you to got to YouTube to watch it. ",

Enjoying a cocktail and chatting with the bartender, the evening passes pleasantly.\n• A bar was walked into by the passive voice.\n• An oxymoron walked into a bar, and the silence was deafening.\n• Two quotation marks walk into a “bar.”\n• A malapropism walks into a bar, looking for all intensive purposes like a wolf in cheap clothing, muttering epitaphs and casting dispersions on his magnificent other, who takes him for granite.\n• Hyperbole totally rips into this insane bar and absolutely destroys everything.\n• A question mark walks into a bar?\n• A non sequitur walks into a bar. In a strong wind, even turkeys can fly.\n• Papyrus and Comic Sans walk into a bar. The bartender says, \u0026ldquo;Get out \u0026ndash; we don\u0026rsquo;t serve your type.\u0026rdquo;\n• A mixed metaphor walks into a bar, seeing the handwriting on the wall but hoping to nip it in the bud.\n• A comma splice walks into a bar, it has a drink and then leaves.\n• Three intransitive verbs walk into a bar. They sit. They converse. They depart.\n• A synonym strolls into a tavern.\n• At the end of the day, a cliché walks into a bar \u0026ndash; fresh as a daisy, cute as a button, and sharp as a tack.\n• A run-on sentence walks into a bar it starts flirting. With a cute little sentence fragment.\n• Falling slowly, softly falling, the chiasmus collapses to the bar floor.\n• A figure of speech literally walks into a bar and ends up getting figuratively hammered.\n• An allusion walks into a bar, despite the fact that alcohol is its Achilles heel.\n• The subjunctive would have walked into a bar, had it only known.\n• A misplaced modifier walks into a bar owned a man with a glass eye named Ralph.\n• The past, present, and future walked into a bar. It was tense.\n• A dyslexic walks into a bra.\n• A verb walks into a bar, sees a beautiful noun, and suggests they conjugate. The noun declines.\n• A simile walks into a bar, as parched as a desert.\n• A gerund and an infinitive walk into a bar, drinking to forget.\n• A hyphenated word and a non-hyphenated word walk into a bar and the bartender nearly chokes on the irony.\nAt the beginning of the year I had grand plans for this series.

    "text": "I have chatted with a few models as they get released - though haven\u0026rsquo;t yet actually shelled out any dollars for access. Still. I was intrigued enough when @Agiletortoise released Claude integration to Drafts - so of course I installed. This is that conversation. Not earth shattering - more focussed on ease of set up (10/10) and ease of use (10/10). Quality of conversation .. (1/10)(?). I hope they will get better (and I appreciate that is as much a function of me as Claude PLUS it also depends on how long the $5 access I was given actually lasts \u0026hellip; no more than two weeks - for sure.\nShall We Chat?\n Absolutely! I\u0026rsquo;m always happy to chat. What would you like to talk about? I\u0026rsquo;m knowledgeable on a wide range of topics and enjoy engaging in thoughtful discussions.\n How about you - what are you different to other models?\n That\u0026rsquo;s a great question! As an AI assistant, I\u0026rsquo;m quite different from other models in a few key ways. Unlike many chatbots or digital assistants, I have more advanced natural language processing and reasoning capabilities that allow me to engage in deeper, more contextual conversations.\nI also have a strong sense of ethics and I\u0026rsquo;m committed to being helpful, honest, and objective. I won\u0026rsquo;t just tell you what you want to hear - I\u0026rsquo;ll give you my honest perspective and try to provide useful information, even if it might not align with your preexisting views.\nAdditionally, I have broad knowledge spanning science, technology, arts and culture, history, current events, and much more. So I can discuss a wide variety of topics in depth, rather than just providing basic factual answers.\nAt the same time, I\u0026rsquo;m not trying to mimic or replace human interactions. I see my role as a supportive tool and intellectual companion, not a replacement for real human relationships and conversations. Let me know if you have any other questions about how I differ from other AI models - I\u0026rsquo;m always happy to discuss!\n Hmm - sorry - but that’s what they all say. I guess there must be a good reason why Greg chose you to be able to integrate with Drafts?\n I\u0026rsquo;m afraid I don\u0026rsquo;t have any specific information about why I was chosen to integrate with Drafts or other applications. As an AI assistant, I don\u0026rsquo;t have insight into the business or product decisions made by the companies that create me or the applications I may integrate with. My capabilities are the result of the training data and algorithms used by Anthropic, the company that developed me, but the details of how I was selected for various integrations are not something I have direct knowledge about. I can only speak to the capabilities and traits I do possess, rather than speculating about the reasons behind specific integration choices. I hope I can still be helpful in our conversation, even if I don\u0026rsquo;t have insider information about the decisions around my development and deployment. Please let me know if there are other ways I can assist you.\n I’ll get back you.\n Okay, no problem. I\u0026rsquo;m happy to continue our conversation whenever you\u0026rsquo;d like. Please feel free to reach out again if you have any other questions or topics you\u0026rsquo;d like to discuss. I\u0026rsquo;ll do my best to provide helpful and informative responses to the extent of my knowledge and capabilities. Talk to you again soon!\n ",

We’re reactive without realizing it. We put limits on ourselves because we buy into other people’s rules. It’s the fundamental limit I’ve observed in most people, including myself and most founders: they define success by succeeding according to the rules that others have defined.  💬 Mike Maples\n🔗 Source (Medium) - so heaven only knows how I stumbled on this one - other than Mike is actually very good at what he does - so maybe I was looking out from him?\n",

As fresh and moving and as brilliant as it was back then.\nAt the beginning of the year I had grand plans for this series. A daily long-form post about something that was rattling my brain that day. And then life. For a while, I was even just dropping markers - to revisit. I came to realise that part of the problem was the complexity of the structure for each post - so that went away. Simplicity really is rather nice. As I write on 240413, I am now going back and filling in the gaps. PLUS - unless something strikes me immediately, I will not classify until the end of the day and go back to move one of the posts of the day into the 366. Also - if you are wondering how I have update the words at the bottom of over 100 posts at a stroke, well - THANK YOU Andy Sylvester and his Glossary plugin.  📡 Follow with RSS\n🗄️ All the posts\n",

He had his potato row/scan line epiphany while growing up in Idaho, but it was later that he fully developed his image dissector and electronics system. His first successful broadcast happened on September 7, 1927, between two rooms in his lab in San Francisco.\n In my world 1927 follows 1926 .. but let\u0026rsquo;s not let facts get in the way in America.\nI am sure there is some bright person out there that will give me some technical overview of why one or the other - but really, to the average bear \u0026hellip; this is the \u0026lsquo;Telly\u0026rsquo; for goodness sake.\nAll this to ask \u0026hellip; why are \u0026lsquo;they\u0026rsquo; like that?\n(I do know \u0026lsquo;they\u0026rsquo; aren\u0026rsquo;t all like that - I\u0026rsquo;ve lived in the US long enough to know that - which I will use as my excuse why I freely interningle UK and US spelling in a single paragraph.)\n",

And you wonder why we have problems.\nKim of course is the author of The Seven Laws of Identity, that I have had the occasion to refer to on this very blog and it is unclear if Pablo\u0026rsquo;s call out of what he achieved in tracking Kim had any connection to Kim\u0026rsquo;s retirement - and to be sure I am not suggesting that at all, and to my knowledge nothing suggests that this was the case.\nFast Forward to last year and here he is again with another Ted Talk \u0026lsquo;Nuclear Reactors Can Solve Inequality\u0026rsquo;. 🤯\nBoth Talks were just absolutely inspiring\nSo imagine my delight to discover this one \u0026hellip;. where he is talking at Charlie Muirhead\u0026rsquo;s CogX last year.

    "text": "It has been brought to my attention that assumptions have been made - and - call me a stickler - that pisses me off.\nSome level setting My mum was born just outside of Manchester. My mum’s parents were Mancunians.\nMy dad was brought up in Rochdale.\nMy dad’s parents were .. well, that is a long story.\nI was brought up in York (not born - but then I wasn’t born in the UK - so there’s that).\nSuffice to say that I would never have been able to play for Yorkshire - even if was good enough (I wasn’t even close … I got to play for my ‘house’ once because only 11 of us turned up) .. and by the way - despite what it sounds like my ‘house’ wasn’t part of a ‘public’ school.\n(Oh - and in England - public schools are actually private - I know - it’s all fucked up}\nStill, I am Yorkshire enough to know that this was a rule (until all the other clubs started bringing on international players and - well - ‘knocking them for six’.)\nSuffice to say, I am without a doubt of Northern Stock .. and proud of it.\nIf You Are Keeping Track It has been a while, but people that ‘fancy themselves with accents’ still pick up my Yorkshire twang.\nMy People First thinking probably emerges from my early (I wasn’t even a teen) introduction to ‘cooperatives’, that you may know got their start in Rochdale (guess who I learned that from).\nHe also told me all about Gracie Fields .. arguably one of the most famous Rochdale alumni (despite living out her final years in Capri) .. I sometimes wonder if this very early introduction to a singer from a previous generation sort of shaped some of my takes on music?\nDespite never having lived in Lancashire, if there is one football team I could be described as supporting .. it would be ManU … because my Dad and Grandad were both supporters, ie long before it was fashionable to love them.\nI am old enough to remember Cyril Smith .. and even though in those days I was not particularly politically aware, he made sense to me .. maybe that Rochdale fairness and equality shining through.\nSo What? All this to say that when (and it is when - not if) I make a joke about \u0026lsquo;the north\u0026rsquo;, such as there should be customs at Watford Gap or the M25 is the inspiration behind the movie \u0026lsquo;Truman\u0026rsquo;, flat caps, ay up, whippets \u0026hellip; whatever the hell it is \u0026hellip; I am having fun - and dear \u0026lsquo;Upset Notherner\u0026rsquo; - I would strongly suggest you get over yourself.\nI would further argue that customs at Watford Gap would be highly beneficial to The North, because customs work both ways.\nFacts .. just a few - I could go on.\nFlat Caps  Flat caps are dress accessories that fall between casual and formal. Back in the 19th century, a flat cap was a sign of working class men but has now evolved to being a piece of headgear popular among elites. Men who wear a flat cap these days are trendsetters and well-dressed men in Hollywood.\n 💬 W and H\n🔗 Source\nAyUp \u0026hellip; \u0026lsquo;appen, ee bah gum - its all dialect people .. and if someone from Yorkshire is going to accuse me of cultural appropriation OR cultural sterotyping - well - I say Fuck You.\nWhippets Have you been to a party recently? Read the internet? Whippets might not be what you think I mean. But let’s say I am talking about the dog .. they have been a recognized bread in Kennel Clubs around the world for nearly 1 1/2 centuries. Moreover, it was a Whippet that won the Frisbee Dog World Championship three years in a during the seventies.

    "text": "It is lost in the mists of time but I seem to recall a post by @brentsimmons from years ago - maybe even last century? The advice was to reply to emails as a post, so that when a second email comes, you can modify the material on your blog and send the link. (I more than likely have over simplified, taken it out of context, changed the essence if not meaning / idea - but that’s what we do right? The point is that the core thinking has stuck with me \u0026hellip; write once - use many.\nIt\u0026rsquo;s good advice and indeed many corporate processes follow this idea. Think help desk, somebody asks a gnarly question, it isn\u0026rsquo;t available in your \u0026lsquo;knowledge repository\u0026rsquo;, so you reply with original thought and then publish that answer into the repository so that anyone else who has the question can find the answer.\nBUT - when it comes to the personal blog, even I - who has this ingrained in my brain, still doesn’t do this as routine and - even more frustrating - when i do .. it gets forgotten about over time because I don’t have a real system to manage such things - and why would I?\nSo it is about memory - but also I have found the Micro Blog Search-Space PlugIn by @sod absolutely excellent for unpacking such posts'.\nAll this to say that I have just put up a page on my blog that is the start of attempting to provide help to others that ask.\nEnjoy.\n🖇️ Getting Started With Your Own Micro Blog\nAt the beginning of the year I had grand plans for this series. A daily long-form post about something that was rattling my brain that day. And then life. For a while, I was even just dropping markers - to revisit. I came to realise that part of the problem was the complexity of the structure for each post - so that went away. Simplicity really is rather nice. As I write on 240413, I am now going back and filling in the gaps. PLUS - unless something strikes me immediately, I will not classify until the end of the day and go back to move one of the posts of the day into the 366.

This one wasn’t as ‘finished, so tweaked a bit for clarity.\nSeparate question - what was going on in my life in May last year?\nJust off a loooong web session with 50 or 60 very wise people talking about AI and ESG. Specifically ‘The Future of Sustainable Decisions in the Boardroom.’ Great session, and they are regular sessions, so ping me if you would like to join the next one.\nIt came up, so I will report … though I have said this before AND I am going to keep saying it in different ways.\nAI used to be about being the best. If the chess program couldn’t beat a grand master then clearly it wasn’t very good. And then it was - so then they said what about ‘GO’ … it never won - and then it did. Clearly AI doesn’t work - until it does.\nBut this stuff is new.\nYes - it doesn’t write like Stephen King or paint like Monet .. but most of us don’t and …\nAND that’s not the point.\nThe point is that it can write better than the average person.\nSo (to begin with ) only the below average people will be replaced.\nProblem 1 - ask anyone how good they are at anything - they will ‘generally’ see themselves as ‘better than average’.\nProblem 2 - statistically - 50% of those people are wrong.\nProblem 3 - a substantial part of the population can\u0026rsquo;t see it coming.\nThis video is more recent and is an ad - been circulating in places like the book of faces - but makes for a good two minute watch and relates.\n  /* Style to set a fixed size for the video */ .video-container { width: 600px; /* Set your desired width */ height: auto; /* Set your desired height */ margin: 0 auto; /* Center the video horizontally */ } .video-container video { width: 100%; height: 100%; } } /* Media query for smaller screens */ @media screen and (max-width: 600px) { .video-container { max-width: 70%; /* Allow the video to take up full width on smaller screens */ } .video-container video { max-width: 70%; } }    Your browser does not support the video tag.

    "title": "🎈037/366 | 🔁 Serendipity",
    "text": "’Serendipity’ By 'Leonardo'  Is it catching❓Or is it just plain old serendipity❓\nIt was January 1st when I had the idea for the 366 series. It wasn’t fully formed, but I had to start. And, as the posts started to happen over the next few days, there were different ideas and formats running around in my head and being tried out. With the layouts, every time I locked down on a new one - I went back to the older 366 posts and adjusted. (Not the post itself - the layout.) I have never been diagnosed with OCD, but I have my suspicions.\nIt has now all settled down, a flow has been building, so much so that I have topics in my head that are maybe a week out.\nThe trouble is that some of the topics are big, and I know I don’t have time on that day and some get really big so have to flag with 🚧 - my signal that I will be coming back.\n🖇️ Like this one for example, which I flagged with the emoji - but I know there is so much more to say that I even added words for more context.\nLet Me Explain I happen to share 366 posts into specific, yet different communities to solicit feedback. 🖇️ This one for example, has spawned comments applying the thinking to a game, which then moved on to applying that game to corporate workshops. Which is just brilliant really. No idea if any of that will take off - we will have to see .. I just like the idea that\n a post on LinkedIN by someone I do not know resulted in a comment from someone I do know that caused me to write a post about how that triggered a connection to something that I bang on and on about which meant I had to find that original post so I could share that, so it made sense which then made the 2nd person in the chain seek to clarify the idea I was spouting which I confirmed that it was indeed so he then took that and suggested that a game could be developed around the process, to which I said or maybe turn it into a framework for Corporate Workshops and ….  \u0026hellip; and that’s where we have got to so far. In amongst all of that I have some actions I need to do to close some loops - but it’s all because of the serendipity of the different people coming together in this chain of thinking. #Awesome\nBut - and here’s the weird part … this wasn’t the serendipitous event that I was referencing when I first ideated the theme of this post. Not at all.\nThe thread started as a simple idea that as I came up with this project - so too did Om, who I follow and read anyway - but within his \u0026lsquo;river\u0026rsquo;, he has a sub-theme called 🔗 Project 36\nI don\u0026rsquo;t really follow his photos (though they are really rather good), and I became aware of it because of 🔗this post on his blog, which ends with these words \u0026hellip;\nThey really resonated with me. ()Om often does) and on the 3rd🖇️ January I linked to his New Years message because those words there in my mind right at that point because just three days in I was already feeling the enormity of what I had challenged myself to deliver, daily.\nI also have a couple of posts in the 366 series that are very short - to maintain the flow - but they don’t take much time. Like🖇️ this one from the 28th January - it\u0026rsquo;s a quick photo!\nBut there\u0026rsquo;s more. fellow MicroBlogger 🔗 TeeJay seems to have also latched on to the one a day post. In his case - every single day he is putting a lovely image that he takes on that day.\nTurns out - for him it is not a new idea. 🔗As his new year post points out. and now his daily photo comes into my RSS feed each and every day - reminding me to stay the course.\nAnd to tie it all back. This whole post was one of those quick throwaways. I had the idea for a \u0026lsquo;serendipity\u0026rsquo; post when I had seen Om and Teejay - it was up my sleeve to write it when I was short of time. Like today.\nShort of time? What the hell happened? The observant amongst you will have spotted that an \u0026lsquo;eye candy\u0026rsquo; image accompanies every post. In this case, I wrote my two lines and hopped over to Leonardo to generate my image.\nThis was the first image to come out \u0026hellip;\nSeriously? Cubes? After just writing a a long post that featured a cube. Is Leonardo watching me? Of course I had to connect those dots and unpack that serendipity.\nAnd with that \u0026hellip; done. Time to post. A quick check reveals the word count to be roughly 100 times my original target. I know I am hitting the send button with the post not fully proofed, which is why 🚧 is at the top.\nI will come back later to make whatever inevitable fixes I will need to do. For now though \u0026hellip; I feel I have rambled to the end of this garden path and I can sense it has come around full circle back to where it all started.\nIf you are still with me. Thankyou for seeing it through.\nAt the beginning of the year I had grand plans for this series. A daily long-form post about something that was rattling my brain that day. And then life. For a while, I was even just dropping markers - to revisit. I came to realise that part of the problem was the complexity of the structure for each post - so that went away. Simplicity really is rather nice. As I write on 240413, I am now going back and filling in the gaps. PLUS - unless something strikes me immediately, I will not classify until the end of the day and go back to move one of the posts of the day into the 366. Also - if you are wondering how I have update the words at the bottom of over 100 posts at a stroke, well - THANK YOU Andy Sylvester and his Glossary plugin.  📡 Follow with RSS\n🗄️ All the posts\n",

    "text": " \u0026laquo; 034/366 | 036/366 \u0026raquo;\n ’Cube’ By 'Leonardo'   This is published - but let me emphasize, most definitely a WIP. Hoping to get feedback from a few select people, not to say that I too am noodling more. I will return. 🚧\n Out in the wild - and really - these days what else would you call ‘LinkedIN’, I 🔗 read a post by 🔗 Tim Parsons that had garnered a few comments. It was touching on a pet peeve of mine, despite TL;DR being a technique I use from time to time.\nThis was the essence;\n Sometimes it just can\u0026rsquo;t be any shorter and still be useful. Some lynchpin bit of data or context would have to be sacrificed, a risk go unnamed, a requirement remain unidentified.\nSometimes information exchange has to include all the information AND the meta data it needs to build a bridge from you to me. Sometimes \u0026ldquo;Too Long; Didn\u0026rsquo;t Read\u0026rdquo; is a terrible risk/reward proposition, and you have to go all the way to \u0026ldquo;Very Long; Must Read.\u0026rdquo; When everything extra has been distilled out, but there\u0026rsquo;s still a lot there, that\u0026rsquo;s a sign of something complex enough to be fascinating, or at least full of critical, decision-influencing intel.\n He ended his post with a reference back to the source.\n I remember 🔗 Marjorie Anderson activating that thought in my head weeks ago, and now it won\u0026rsquo;t leave.\n This resonated ….\n Sometimes TL;DR simply must yield to VL;MR\n Which got me to thinking.\nYou know how I am with that word … ‘content’.\nTo remind from one of many posts on the topic - just on this blog ….\n As long as \u0026lsquo;we the creators\u0026rsquo; keep using low cost, homogenous, non-descript words like \u0026lsquo;content\u0026rsquo; to describe our work, our soul, our passion, our beliefs then our work will continue to be viewed as \u0026lsquo;free - to - cheap - to - low - cost\u0026rsquo;, \u0026lsquo;homogenized, non differentiated, interchangeable fodder\u0026rsquo; (which coincidentally is what silos have always been used for), then, we only have ourselves to blame as the resultant payment for our art, our thinking and our ideas, will continue to race to the bottom.\n And whilst on the topic of silos \u0026hellip;.\n You should never … ever … trust a Silo. It\u0026rsquo;s theirs. The stuff you put there is theirs. Even our' handle is actually \u0026lsquo;theirs\u0026rsquo;.\n All this and more can be found in an earlier post here : 🖇️ Friends Don\u0026rsquo;t Let Friends Write Content\nAnd it is not just me …\nJust today\nand last year .. Dana Carvey and Will Arnett brought it up (listen it\u0026rsquo;s a one minute snipped) on the Smartless podcast.\nAnyway, with that all said \u0026hellip; \u0026lsquo;set up\u0026rsquo; done \u0026hellip; ✅\nSo What? It struck me that \u0026lsquo;TL;DR | VL;MR\u0026rsquo; is the second axis I have been looking for in my one man war on \u0026lsquo;content\u0026rsquo;. So I drew the picture.\n\u0026lsquo;content | material ' on the x axis and \u0026lsquo;TL;DR | VL;MR\u0026rsquo; on the y axis - and I was left with \u0026lsquo;Yeah .. so what?\nThe \u0026lsquo;so what\u0026rsquo; was because I realized that it was missing the third axis \u0026hellip;\u0026lsquo;Entertainment | Understanding\u0026rsquo;\nThe fact is that so much that is running around the \u0026lsquo;interwebs\u0026rsquo; is \u0026lsquo;Entertainment\u0026rsquo;. Nothing wrong with that, but VL;MR is really about Understanding.\nMoreover, the front facing 4 quadrants are all about \u0026lsquo;Entertainment | Understanding\u0026rsquo; and TL;DR | VL;MR - not \u0026lsquo;Content | Material\u0026rsquo;\nSo I drew it again.\n  The coloration isn\u0026rsquo;t quite right for all occasions, but in this particular context\n on the entertainment side - it doesn’t really matter which end of the TL;DR | VL;MR spectrum you are - a 240 character tweet can be as entertaining as a 3 hour movie or a 1,000 page book, BUT on the understanding side .. sure sometimes a pithy one liner can shed light on an issue that a three volume encyclopedia will never do. It\u0026rsquo;s also true that a very short mathematical equation is very powerful when it comes to \u0026lsquo;explaining\u0026rsquo; - IF you understand the language of math(s) (I like to accommodate both sides of the Atlantic if I can), which most people do not.  But generally that is not the case, because what triggered me is that context and history and space and time and .. is needed to really bottom out \u0026lsquo;Understanding\u0026rsquo;\nSo far so good?\nI added the third dimension.\n  And we are there \u0026hellip; nearly.\nThe dimensions are right - but the colors remain at odds with my thinking. I have the image in my head plus the colors need to be fading from one color to the next - depending on the context. I am not a graphic artist \u0026hellip; and I could draw what I am thinking \u0026hellip; eventually \u0026hellip; and maybe I will return to complete / correct this.\nBut before I do that. Make sense? See where I am coming from?\nAt the beginning of the year I had grand plans for this series. A daily long-form post about something that was rattling my brain that day. And then life. For a while, I was even just dropping markers - to revisit. I came to realise that part of the problem was the complexity of the structure for each post - so that went away.

Be interesting to see the comparisons. (BTW, I am specifically running the data between specific dates - in this case for example Jan 1 to Jan 31 - not just ‘last month’.)\nI am also interested to see if this posts gives a jump on these particular posts, so I will check the data in 7 days.\nThat’s all for now - except to say, my many thanks to 🔗 Vincent who wrote and maintains the 🔗 tinylytics app that in turn produces the data I need to write this email. Couldn’t do without it.\nAt the beginning of the year I had grand plans for this series. A daily long-form post about something that was rattling my brain that day. And then life. For a while, I was even just dropping markers - to revisit. I came to realise that part of the problem was the complexity of the structure for each post - so that went away. Simplicity really is rather nice. As I write on 240413, I am now going back and filling in the gaps. PLUS - unless something strikes me immediately, I will not classify until the end of the day and go back to move one of the posts of the day into the 366.

    "text": " \u0026laquo; 031/366 | 033/366 \u0026raquo;\n ’The future of watching a movie using a headset' By 'Leonardo'  So it is out in wild and the reviews are in … and this is not another ‘one of those’.\n‘My man’ Om 🔗 also posted about Vision Pro - he himself also highlighting that his post was not one of those. A big difference between us (as if there were just a few - there are not - there are many) is that he has actually tried one out! So there is that.\nIn his post he talked about 4 magic moments on day one of owning his new toy. This is the fourth on the list.\n My last magic moment came when the Vision Pro became what I have always wanted — the future of television (and video.) A screen like none before. I opened up the Apple TV app, and picked an immersive video film of highliner Faith Dickey. I watched Dickey walk across a highline across the cliffs of Norway, but I felt as if I was there. It was so breathtaking — and in that moment, I thought maybe someday this is how all movies, televisions, and even home videos are going to be made for all to experience them live.\n And? And it got me to thinking about that last sentence (that is my bold in the quote that you see).\nChristopher Nolan famously produces movies for iMax first Sure, you can watch them in other spaces … but the real experience can only be found on iMax - and not any old iMax .. the best iMax.\nObvious question … how long before the first movie is made that is ’tuned’ for ‘Vision Pro first’?\nTo clarify … (‘this new movie’ will be to ‘Vision Pro’ as as ‘Oppenheimer’ is to ‘iMax’)\nMy predictions 1] ’Such a’ movie will be released in 2025. Maybe early 2026. - (Confidence 70 to 80%)\n2] It won’t be a GREAT movie - like Oppenheimer. The timeline for that? 2030. - (Confidence 25% - 75% lots of variable in this one - because ‘Great’ is hard to calibrate AND also the demand needs to connect to there being sufficient headsets out there for the story of success to work.)\n3] It will be financed by Apple. - (Confidence 100%. Because it is totally in their interests and are already funding movies and can give the makers a LOT of help well beyond dollaroos.)\nWhat do you think?\nAt the beginning of the year I had grand plans for this series.

    "text": " \u0026laquo; 025/366 | 027/366 \u0026raquo;\n 'The Identity Entity' By 'Leonardo'  BTW - If you want to cut to the chase - Identity 2.5 is a great Substack to get your teeth into. Identity continues to be core thinking in the work I do with people. In particular with a company down here in Aotearoa.\nThe Founder is a deep thinker - as are his communications. One of my jobs is to take those thoughts and write words that ordinary people might understand.\nIn the \u0026lsquo;biz\u0026rsquo;, it’s a different challenge. Like any other \u0026lsquo;biz\u0026rsquo;, there are words and phrases that get used and we all think we understand them. But do we? Particularly when you are trying to reset thinking. Even a little bit. Why? Because specific words have specific meanings in certain contexts and \u0026lsquo;the experts will hear th word and some they know what comes next.\nTherefore you have to be careful when you use them. BUT, if you don’t use them, you find yourself having to keep redefining things so you don\u0026rsquo;t lose the frame of reference!\nThat\u0026rsquo;s the hard part, but now lets get back to the plot.\nLast week I needed a \u0026lsquo;twofer\u0026rsquo;.\nI needed to summarize the essence of what we are talking about in ‘*everyday English’. I knew the recipients were on the \u0026lsquo;fringe\u0026rsquo; of the biz, so they had an understanding of \u0026lsquo;identity\u0026rsquo;, but our pitch was to have them look at identity in a different way. Plain English needed but reset required.\nWhen he saw my email he wrote;\n \u0026ldquo;I like the Johnising of Alan.\u0026rdquo;\n \u0026hellip; which I am taking positively and assuming I am not too off beam - recording for posterity - with a few tweaks to protect privacy.\nMy take on Alan\u0026rsquo;s thesis Identity is about people - ordinary people - not devices, not technology … people.\nAND\nPeople necessarily have to deal with businesses in three main contexts\n  In person\n  On the phone\n  Online\n  AND\nA lot of identity processes are really kluges that get bypassed all the time. (Personal experience just last month with a bank where I had to prove who I was - and every single proof that they needed I failed - since I had been out of the country and all the \u0026lsquo;check points\u0026rsquo; had changed. It took me about 15 minutes together my access back - and I know I legally failed.)\nThink of it as \u0026lsquo;theater\u0026rsquo;. Like taking your shoes off at the airport.\nAND\nThere is no single safe mechanism that allows for all three contexts. In fact some things you need to do just cannot be done in certain contexts.\nAND\nThe tech industry\u0026rsquo; is mainly working on \u0026lsquo;number 3\u0026rsquo;. (Even though numbers 1 and 2 will not be going away. They are mainly being ignored because I suspect that the tech industry really thinks about \u0026lsquo;tech\u0026rsquo; and seems to exclude \u0026lsquo;people\u0026rsquo; and \u0026lsquo;place\u0026rsquo;. You only have to recognize that if you have someone\u0026rsquo;s device, then to all intent and purposes, you can assume their identity and place \u0026hellip; who needs \u0026lsquo;place\u0026rsquo; - we are all in one place. It\u0026rsquo;s called the internet!\nOK - I am being a little unfair - but you know what I mean. Right?\nAND\nThey are often only working on two party authentication - I am me - here is my proof that I am me - and you will believe me on providing that proof to you.\nAND\nThe complexity, problems and potential losses are exponential when you consider three party authorization … i.e. I (party a) have an account with a business (party b) that grants me a discount at another business (party c). How do you make that work efficiently - across all three contexts?\nMeanwhile Clear use cases include KYC (Know Your Customer) .. a global process that is increasingly necessary as part of more and more laws - to \u0026lsquo;protect\u0026rsquo; us. But it is theater. It\u0026rsquo;s a theory gone amok leaving with organizations that deal with people as a business have been forced to implement expensive, drawn out, and costly (for both business and customer) processes that are not really working.\nThere are many many more cases we will (are) work(ing) on.\nSometimes you will hear that \u0026lsquo;Web 3\u0026rsquo; is going to solve it. Sometimes \u0026lsquo;DIDs\u0026rsquo;. Hell - even the NFT unicorns were making promises at one point. \u0026lsquo;Cyber\u0026rsquo; … \u0026lsquo;AI\u0026rsquo; … there is an ongoing barrage of people that talk hypothetically about the problem - but there still isn\u0026rsquo;t really a solution. They might well be the answer - maybe - but not today\n There needs to be wider adoption. It needs to be easy AND safe. There needs to be trust. It needs to be cost effective. There should be no barriers. We definitely should not be waiting for whatever the \u0026lsquo;tech d\u0026rsquo;jour\u0026rsquo; is to grant us salvation.  We call all that Identity 3.0 - and who knows - just like Web 3.0 it may happen one day.\nWe call our solution Identity 2.5 - because it does not use tech that is not available - rather it sits in existing infrastructure that is already in place.\nWe have a working demo. We have patents. We have commitment from the NZ Govt. We believe we are unique - and nobody that has seen it disagrees.\nWe are moving forward.\nLater This seems to have caught attention since I originally posted it, so in order to save you time, if you are interested in what I am talking about and want to learn more, you can drop me an email - and be sure I will get right back to you. My thanks for your attention.\n EMail Me Now\nAt the beginning of the year I had grand plans for this series. A daily long-form post about something that was rattling my brain that day. And then life. For a while, I was even just dropping markers - to revisit. I came to realise that part of the problem was the complexity of the structure for each post - so that went away. Simplicity really is rather nice. As I write on 240413, I am now going back and filling in the gaps. PLUS - unless something strikes me immediately, I will not classify until the end of the day and go back to move one of the posts of the day into the 366.

    "text": " \u0026laquo; 024/366 | 026/366 \u0026raquo;\n 'Do Not Put ‘Product’ In Charge' By 'Leonardo'  Don’t get me wrong. I have a lot of time and respect for 🖇️ Dana Blankenhorn - as you can see … so this one caught my attention\n There\u0026rsquo;s a single rule I\u0026rsquo;ve learned studying technology this last half century. Product must be in charge.\n .. and 🔗then he goes on\nI totally disagree, so had to comment and did. Reproduced here for posterity\n I don\u0026rsquo;t disagree on taking the finance wonks out .. but not sure I agree on putting product in \u0026hellip; I know lots of companies that lead with product .. and it doesn\u0026rsquo;t work unless there is wider purview which is often missing in product thinking. Our friends in Cupertino don\u0026rsquo;t lead with product .. though many pundits think they do .. they lead with vision, experience and story that the product delivers against.\nThe ‘top’ needs to be market, future market, visionary oriented. Disciplines that used to fall under marketing \u0026hellip; though sadly not anymore .. as they are all chasing data and models and RoI .. but those people exist. In all of those disciplines. The dude at the top can still be a focussed finance wonk \u0026hellip; their ancillary skill (beyond those three core requirements) is to listen to everyone, take advice and pay attention.\nAgain .. the man at the top of Cupertino is \u0026lsquo;operations and supply chain\u0026rsquo; ( by history ) but to the casual observer, that isn\u0026rsquo;t so obvious. Meanwhile, the man before him was vision and experience and story .. sure he definitely had a say in product \u0026hellip; but from an holistic viewpoint -\nJust one slice of the holisticism (is that even a word)\u0026hellip; how many \u0026lsquo;product\u0026rsquo; people get what good design can do.\nIf they do .. I mean REALLY do .. why are there so many badly designed, poorly performing products out there?\nWhat Do You Think? Postscript - sometimes the Leonardo images take a few tweaks to get even close to my underlying message - but in this case - third go - and was only generating 1 image at a time. Sometimes I run out of the 150 free credits that I get every day - and have to choose from a bad lot.\nThis image just spoke volumes to me as ‘the house that ‘product’ built.\nFunnily enough - today’s emoji was also absolutely clear.\nAt the beginning of the year I had grand plans for this series.

What? 7 1/2 years ago?\nIt popped up yesterday when I was searching my site for something else. A few things dawned on me, not least of which \u0026hellip; whatever happened to Scoble? Not that I care.\nDon\u0026rsquo;t get me wrong. I am sure he is bouncing around somewhere - I just don’t track him. I am guessing that at some point in time I just closed him out of my mind, because he more often than not wrote rubbish.\nThat certainly seemed to be my opinion .. what? 7 1/2 years ago! 😃\n That all said, posting this as an early (quasi) \u0026lsquo;claim chowder\u0026rsquo; (tip o' the hat to @gruber) entry. I didn’t believe him (Scoble) then - and said so - and though the jury is strictly still out - I am firmly in the camp that the vision pro IS the next big thing and more importantly that it is because of \u0026lsquo;Tim Apple\u0026rsquo; - not despite him.

Most Governments pay (they don’t use that word … but that is what they are doing) to attract film production.\nI think this is the right way round.\n 4️⃣ 🔗 Rise in measles cases prompts vaccination campaign in England.\nOh .. so it’s ok to get vaccinated now?\n 5️⃣ 🔗 The Musical Instruments Market Size Is Expected To Reach $14 Billion By 2027.\nWonder what constitutes a ‘musical instrument ‘ these days?\n 6️⃣ 🔗 January 21, 2024 - by Heather Cox Richardson\n I wonder if Dobbs, with its announcement that when Republicans are given power over our legal system they do not consider themselves obligated to recognize an established constitutional right, will turn out to be today’s version of the Kansas-Nebraska Act.  No Comment. Yet.\n 7️⃣ 🔗 Thousands of Māori gather to tell New Zealand’s government: you cannot marginalise us.\nGot to say .. ‘Cristopher (sic) and crew’ were warned.\n 8️⃣ 🔗 DeSantis Might Be the Worst Presidential Candidate in Recent Memory \nSay what now?\nIsn’t The Orange Clown a Presidential candidate?

A daily long-form post about something that was rattling my brain that day. And then life. For a while, I was even just dropping markers - to revisit. I came to realise that part of the problem was the complexity of the structure for each post - so that went away. Simplicity really is rather nice. As I write on 240413, I am now going back and filling in the gaps. PLUS - unless something strikes me immediately, I will not classify until the end of the day and go back to move one of the posts of the day into the 366.

    "text": " \u0026laquo; 021/366 | 023/366 \u0026raquo;\n … is a picture I took this morning while I sat with a cup of coffee.\nIf you have been following along with these posts recently, you will have noticed that a lot of images I use in the 366 series are generated by an AI. (More often than not Leonardo.ai) I do not spend a lot of time on creating the perfect prompt. I am really just playing around and creating a little eye candy whilst learning what I can. Which got me to wondering, what would Leonardo make of my view?\nI used this prompt.\n “I am looking at Auckland Harbour from a balcony in the viaduct. The sun is shining, but the day is still quiet. Create an image for me that you think reflects what I am seeing.\n I ran the prompt three times and these were the results.\nI decided this was the closest to the right result as in ‘matching the prompt’.\n It has Sky Tower - so ‘Auckland’ - except if I was looking at the harbour from a balcony - Sky tower would be behind me. It is very clearly a balcony. I rejected the bottom left, because really - to match the prompt ‘I’ wouldn’t be in the picture. There were others that were as acceptable. None were ‘right’/  So - why no boats in the AI images? Because they weren’t included in the original prompt.\nJust for kicks I modified the prompt\n “I am looking at Auckland Harbour with some moored boats from a balcony in the viaduct. The sun is shining, but the day is still quiet. Create an image for me that you think reflects what I am seeing.”\n Am I happy with the finished results? Well - no.\nBut if i didn’t have access to the actual image, for a few minutes of work - the results weren’t too bad.\n(These are the results from the free version of Leonardo. I know they would be massively improved if I subscribed and added access to the other models they have available. First though, I want to learn as much as I can for free.)\nWhat do you think?\nAt the beginning of the year I had grand plans for this series. A daily long-form post about something that was rattling my brain that day. And then life. For a while, I was even just dropping markers - to revisit. I came to realise that part of the problem was the complexity of the structure for each post - so that went away. Simplicity really is rather nice.

You can 🔗 read a quick summary here.\n Law 1: User control and consent Technical identity systems must only reveal information identifying a user with the user\u0026rsquo;s consent Law 2: Minimum disclosure for a constrained use The solution which discloses the least amount of identifying information and best limits its use is the most stable long-term solution Law 3: Justifiable Parties Digital identity systems must be designed so the disclosure of identifying information is limited to parties having a necessary and justifiable place in a given identity relationship Law 4: Directed Identity A universal identity system must support both \u0026ldquo;omni-directional\u0026rdquo; identifiers for use by public entities and \u0026ldquo;unidirectional\u0026rdquo; identifiers for use by private entities, thus facilitating discovery while preventing unnecessary release of correlation handles Law 5: Pluralism of Operators and Technologies A universal identity system must channel and enable the inter-working of multiple identity technologies run by multiple identity providers Law 6: Human Integration The universal identity metasystem must define the human user to be a component of the distributed system integrated through unambiguous human-machine communication mechanisms offering protection against identity attacks Law 7: Consistent Experience Across Contexts The unifying identity metasystem must guarantee its users a simple, consistent experience while enabling separation of contexts through multiple operators and technologies\n Down here in sunny New Zealand, I have been helping a local man with his identity solution. More on that in due course - because - guess what - its pretty much ‘tops’ .. and expression I learned last night which is the antonym of ‘pants’ … but I digress.\nIt turns out his system hits all seven laws - and that’s just how it worked out, to because he designed to them. This gives me even more confidence that we are on to something. It would be kinda like building a robot and then realizing it is ‘Asimov compliant’.\nAt the beginning of the year I had grand plans for this series. A daily long-form post about something that was rattling my brain that day. And then life. For a while, I was even just dropping markers - to revisit. I came to realise that part of the problem was the complexity of the structure for each post - so that went away. Simplicity really is rather nice. As I write on 240413, I am now going back and filling in the gaps. PLUS - unless something strikes me immediately, I will not classify until the end of the day and go back to move one of the posts of the day into the 366. Also - if you are wondering how I have update the words at the bottom of over 100 posts at a stroke, well - THANK YOU Andy Sylvester and his Glossary plugin.  📡 Follow with RSS\n🗄️ All the posts\n",

    "text": " \u0026laquo; 019/366 | 021/366 \u0026raquo;\n Over the holidays, down in Wellington, I somehow constantly found myself in conversations about ‘local politics’ … council, city, region … and dare I even say national? (On a global scale ’national thinking’ for a small country like New Zealand is still ‘local’.) No need to talk about the topics discussed - the usual, but my recurring observation that was never rejected is that long term planning anywhere for housing, climate change, infrastructure, EV cars, bike lanes … you name it .. is never that long term because the elected officials - even if they had the vision .. and often they don’t’ (but that is a different story) - don’t think beyond their election cycle.\nAs a result it is a brave group of politicians that put in place 25 to 30 year plans for anything … much less real long term!\nEnter 🔗 The Ministry for the Future - New Ideas From Ancient Wisdom. - with my highlights and annotations on Readwise. It’s not quite the same idea and far more ‘financially technical’ than I might ever hope to completely understand - much less explain - but it is all connected and makes for a fascinating - if technical - read.\n Unless you\u0026rsquo;re a policy wonk or a certain kind of federal contractor, you can be forgiven for not knowing what the discount rate is.\n BUT - so you know …\nSeperately \u0026hellip;\n📼 A Long Now talk from Kim Stanley Robinson : Climate Futures: Beyond 02022 (referenced in the article, not yet watched - but is now in my queue). Also, that 02022 is not a typo - it’s a ‘Long Now’ year. I like them just from that simple switch in thinking. It positions us in time very differently to 2022. (Not sure if it is also unseen inspiration behind the numbering system of my series for 2024.)\n‘nuff said for now. Suffice to say, I am going to do some further exploring around the ‘social discount rate’. This bear hadn\u0026rsquo;t stumbled across it previously - but it seems to be an excellent way of thinking about a reason why ‘our’ policies are so broken.\nAt the beginning of the year I had grand plans for this series.

I think the overall challenge is two fold; 1] It is not easy. - so requires significant resources to make it a reality. 2] Does ‘everybody’ care enough? - because if they don’t - I feel the TAM might be pretty small - and will include a large number of people already in the camp of what we have is good enough.\nAt the beginning of the year I had grand plans for this series.

It’s worth clicking through - not just to my short piece, but in turn the links in that post.\nStill - to the point.\nAndy Hamilton dropped a post on LinkedIN a couple of days ago referencing an Australian report called ‘Barriers to collaboartion and commercialization’ asking if there were lessons that can be learned fro New Zealand. And so ‘the people’ weighed in - with the inevitable group waxing lyrical about business and government working hand in hand to innovate and become world leaders in ….\nPipe dreams - and \u0026lsquo;Pace Layers\u0026rsquo;, illustrated above explain why.\nThe model was developed by Stewart Brand and Brian Eno of all people. A quick study will reveal why government involvement in innovation is flawed. If you are still missing the challenge comes down to the\n The order of a healthy civilization. The fast layers innovate; the slow layers stabilize. The whole combines learning with continuity.\n 💬 Stewart Brand\nIt reminds me of something 🔗 Venkatesh Rao wrote about many years ago - and which I in turn referenced in my 🔗 book a couple of years ago.\n  Bottom Line I have always had a fundamental problem with government being joined at the hip with business. In principle, it sounds lovely. It can work. It does work … but not if you want to be fast, innovative, different, leading edge, using new technologies - all of these things are not part of a government’s DNA - the pace layer model reveals why it won’t work.\nWhatever speed government works at, it still wont be fast enough for business and if you slow down business to more readily accommodate government, then others will beat you to market.\nJust three case studies out of the hundreds if not thousands just in the software industry; Uber, AirBNB and Facebook.\nAnd don’t get me started on Tesla, The Boring Compnay, SpaceX, X, xAI, Neuralink and the rest of the \u0026lsquo;Musk Suite.\nAt the beginning of the year I had grand plans for this series.

I (at least) find this interesting because this year there are only roughly 52 collections of 7 days and roughly 73 collections of 5 days.\nAs long as I can remember, my mind has always played such number games, so I am not surprised to find myself thinking this way. Then again, I am reading a lovely little book by Mark Haddon so I wonder if I am even more tuned in. (If you’ve read it, you will know what I mean.)\nAt the beginning of the year I had grand plans for this series. A daily long-form post about something that was rattling my brain that day. And then life. For a while, I was even just dropping markers - to revisit. I came to realise that part of the problem was the complexity of the structure for each post - so that went away. Simplicity really is rather nice. As I write on 240413, I am now going back and filling in the gaps. PLUS - unless something strikes me immediately, I will not classify until the end of the day and go back to move one of the posts of the day into the 366.

Later - as the world moved towards World War 1, some of the more germanic sounding street names were changed to celebrate important Military leaders of the time - hence Kitchener.\nMeanwhile - head down Kitchener Street to the square and back out along Jellicoe Road there are three mural on the wall. This is one of them celebrating The Martinborough Hotel.\nThe Artist seems to have an understanding of how the town came to be - or are the bags on the Fiat actually those of the visitors to Martinborough - and not of Mr. Martin. Then again - when Mr. Martin was traveling, I am not sure the car had been invented, much less the Fiat 500.\nMaybe Oscar had it right? Maybe the artist is predicting the arrival of the Fiat 500 - so that life can indeed imitate art?\nAt the beginning of the year I had grand plans for this series.

    "text": " \u0026laquo; 003/366 | 005/366 \u0026raquo;\n Over the break, I had the fortune (not committing to whether that\u0026rsquo;s good or bad, since that is a whole different story) to visit Martinborough in the Wairarapa - one of New Zealand\u0026rsquo;s wine regions. It\u0026rsquo;s a cute little town that includes a single \u0026lsquo;supermarket\u0026rsquo;.\nOn one visit I noticed two photographs on the wall - the building from the early part of the last century, photographed in 1906 \u0026hellip;.\n\u0026hellip; and a second of a different building (same site) in 1949.\nAs I took the photographs of the photographs, I commented to a couple passing by and watching me that it was a shame that a beautiful building such as the original was replaced by the \u0026lsquo;flat pack\u0026rsquo;.\nI assumed that some bright spark had decided to pull the old one down in favor of the \u0026lsquo;modern, sleek lined building\u0026rsquo;.\nNever assume.\nYes the old one was pulled down - but after a major earthquake rendered part of it flat and part of it unsafe - and I get why you would want to modernize and I know why the designs changed - but that\u0026rsquo;s not what this is about.\nWhat it’s about is that the photographs and conversation reminded me of a 🔗 recent post from Stowe Boyd that referenced Stewart Brand\u0026rsquo;s book 🔗 How Buildings Learn which in turn built on the ideas of British architect Frank Duffy.\n Buildings aren’t made out of glass, concrete and stone: they’re made out of time, layers of time.\n 💬 Frank Duffy\nBrand\u0026rsquo;s model is clear;\n\u0026hellip; and the two images reveal it in action. No images from the inside of the store - though for the Kiwi\u0026rsquo;s amongst you, I can say that the Martinborough FourSquare is the nicest (and largest) FourSquare I have ever visited. (For Brits, think of a FourSquare as something like one of those Tesco or Safeways Mini-marts we find in ever increasing numbers around the British Isles. Think of the Martinborough Foursquare as more akin to a mid sized Waitrose. For American readers \u0026hellip; Wholefoods? High end Safeways?\nAll that said - look at Brand\u0026rsquo;s model carefully and consider buildings you know and how they relate.\nAt the beginning of the year I had grand plans for this series.

    "text": " \u0026laquo; 001/366 | 003/366 \u0026raquo;\n In one of my work programmes there is an ongoing debate around planning and strategy .. one of the team going as far as to suggest that ‘strategic planning’ is an oxymoron (my words). This seems to nicely channel an aspect of that thinking.\nThis particular quote\nis taken from 🔗 this article, which in turn arrived with me from discussions over at the UNdaunted. You’ll be hearing more about them over the next year.)\nI think it also plays into the old adage (I paraphrase) ..\n “All plans are a waste … but planning is essential.”\n For me. I think there is truth in this line of thought.\nWhat do you think?\nAt the beginning of the year I had grand plans for this series. A daily long-form post about something that was rattling my brain that day. And then life. For a while, I was even just dropping markers - to revisit. I came to realise that part of the problem was the complexity of the structure for each post - so that went away. Simplicity really is rather nice. As I write on 240413, I am now going back and filling in the gaps. PLUS - unless something strikes me immediately, I will not classify until the end of the day and go back to move one of the posts of the day into the 366. Also - if you are wondering how I have update the words at the bottom of over 100 posts at a stroke, well - THANK YOU Andy Sylvester and his Glossary plugin.  📡 Follow with RSS\n🗄️ All the posts\n",

    "text": "Xfinity Data Security Incident\nNotice of Data Security Incident\nWe are notifying you of a recent data security incident involving your personal information. This notice explains the incident, steps Xfinity has taken to address it, and guidance on what you can do to protect your personal information.\nWhat Happened? On October 10, 2023, one of Xfinity’s software providers, Citrix, announced a vulnerability in one of its products used by Xfinity and thousands of other companies worldwide. At the time Citrix made this announcement, it released a patch to fix the vulnerability. Citrix issued additional mitigation guidance on October 23, 2023. We promptly patched and mitigated our systems. However, we subsequently discovered that prior to mitigation, between October 16 and October 19, 2023, there was unauthorized access to some of our internal systems that we concluded was a result of this vulnerability. We notified federal law enforcement and conducted an investigation into the nature and scope of the incident. On November 16, 2023, it was determined that information was likely acquired.\nWhat Information Was Involved? On December 6, 2023, we concluded that the information included usernames and hashed passwords; for some customers, other information was also included, such as names, contact information, last four digits of social security numbers, dates of birth and/or secret questions and answers. However, our data analysis is continuing, and we will provide additional notices as appropriate.\nWhat We Are Doing. To protect your account, we have proactively asked you to reset your password. The next time you login to your Xfinity account, you will be prompted to change your password, if you haven’t been asked to do so already.\nWhat You Can Do. We strongly encourage you to enroll in two-factor or multi-factor authentication. While we advise customers not to re-use passwords across multiple accounts, if you do use the same information elsewhere, we recommend that you change the information on those other accounts, as well. You can review the “Additional Information” section below for information on how you can further protect your personal information.\nMore Information. If you have additional questions, please contact IDX, Xfinity’s incident response provider managing customer notifications and call center support, at 888-799-2560 toll-free, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. More information is available on the Xfinity website at www.xfinity.com/dataincident. We know that you trust Xfinity to protect your information, and we can’t emphasize enough how seriously we are taking this matter. We remain committed to continue investing in technology, protocols and experts dedicated to helping to protect your data and keeping you, our customer, safe.\nSincerely, Xfinity\n",

Don’t really care.\nThe memories I have are good.\nHow about you?\n",

C’est la vie.\nIn parralel, the topic of efficiency seems to be on everyone’s lips - different learned people in different positions essentially reporting ‘findings’ .. new budgets in cities … and the eternal question of whether we are getting what we pay for.\nJust one small example from Wayne Brown in Auckland \u0026hellip; a speed bump in a road to slow traffic down costs multiple hundreds of thousands of dollars. I\u0026rsquo;ll let that sink in.\nI am far from qualified to comment much on this (other than that seems a lot to me), but Bernard Hickey definitely is - and if you want to read his excellent Substack around not just speed bumps - but all things political and fiscal in this fine country - look no further than 🔗 here.\nMeanwhile - Aotearoa - don’t feel so bad - this 🔗 🎙️ podcast from Freakonomics relects on the US construction industry. Turns out it is the only industry that has not become more efficient over the past seventy years - because that is how it is designed!\n",

I didn’t really care about the 'is it true to history ' commentaries because I didn’t care and had no idea ... being one of those people that when I see a fictional movie about real life - I assume that it is fiction - and if something really piques my interest I go investigate.\nOne such example : williamgallagher.com/selfdistract/2023/12/01/histerical-accuracy-with-ridley-scott/\nMeanwhile I am definitely no expert on Napleon.

    "text": "There’s an old joke about ‘Henry’ getting lost in the narrow lanes of Devon, England and needing to return to London. He spotted a farmer on the side of the road and pulled over, admitting to the farmer that he was lost and was looking for directions to get him back to London.\n“London!” … replied the farmer … “… well if I was going to London … I wouldn’t be startin’ here.”\nIt’s an old one. It’s a funny one and like all good humor is rooted in truth.\n I had a great call with Steve Cook of The UNdaunted the night before last and over the course of multiple hours we covered oh so much .. and will save those stories for another time.\nExcept this one. Discussion included the old chestnuts; change, transition and transformation.\nPeople who work in this world know the Current State / Future State model (or as we used to call it in Group Partners … Current Reality / Future Vision). Steve and I agreed that a big stumbling block is people starting at the current state - and wanting to know the steps to take to get to the future state, more often than not with an end result of ‘It’s too hard’. … ‘It doesn’t work’.\nResult? They give up. Worse? It fails.\nI would argue that ( and to paraphrase my friend John Caswell ), they are attempting to ‘solve the wrong problem really well’.\nMoving from Current State to Future State is not easy if you are attempting to solve the problem with the same thinking that got you there. Instead imagine … visualize (Now you know why we say ‘future vision’) the best outcome and then engineer backwards. It’s not the same.\nBack to our farmer.\nCurrent Reality - Lost in Devon\nFuture Vision - Safe in London\nAll he was doing was highlighting the limitations of ‘linear thinking’, which in three steps might well have the driver lost again. Instead visualize London\n “You know how to get there from Bristol .. right?”  (confirm a basic level of knowledge)   “And you know how to get to Bristol from Exeter?”  (drilling down to get to more detail)   “Oh .. you used to live in Exeter?”  (additional information unpacked by asking questions)   “Then you know Chagford?”  (reaffirming assumed knowledge to make the next step as simple as possible)   “Of course you do .. well … Chagford is only a couple of miles away .. you need to head back to the church …”  (restatement of the problem, simplification of the actual ask)    At a stroke the driver’s challenge is significantly reduced and very manageable.\n",

The fix was to delete the plist - and it would magically reset.\n\u0026lsquo;Back in the day\u0026rsquo; suggests the problem might be a thing of the past. Sorry - it isn\u0026rsquo;t.\nIt\u0026rsquo;s the \u0026lsquo;deleting the plist\u0026rsquo; that is a thing of the past \u0026hellip; at least for this bear - who has not been able to find it. And if you cant find it \u0026hellip; you can\u0026rsquo;t delete it. Meanwhile the count variation has been getting worse.\nYesterday I spent some time trying to work out how to fix it.\nSUCCESS.\nSeems like \u0026lsquo;all\u0026rsquo; you do is disconnect your Mac Mail from \u0026lsquo;The Cloud\u0026rsquo; \u0026hellip; \u0026lsquo;let a bit of time pass\u0026rsquo; \u0026hellip; whatever the hell that means \u0026hellip; and reconnect - and all will be well.\nNot Wrong. That\u0026rsquo;s what I did and voila. Fixed.\nTwo Caveats In my particular case\n  I replaced \u0026lsquo;let a bit of time pass\u0026rsquo; with \u0026lsquo;reboot mac\u0026rsquo;.\n  I didn\u0026rsquo;t worry for the first two hours after rebooting that most of my email is missing - but by then I had moved into panic. So switched on the \u0026lsquo;mail connection doctor\u0026rsquo; and enabled \u0026lsquo;show detail\u0026rsquo; \u0026hellip; and indeed it was buzzing along - left it over night and today all back and flag count fixed.

But with the acquiescence of the larger conservative legal movement, these pillars of our system of governance are increasingly in peril. The dangers will only grow should Donald Trump be returned to the White House next November.\nRecent reporting about plans for a second Trump presidency are frightening. He would stock his administration with partisan loyalists committed to fast-tracking his agenda and sidestepping - if not circumventing altogether - existing laws and long-established legal norms.\nThey cite Trump\u0026rsquo;s already publicized plans to appoint public officials investigate and exact retribution against his political opponents; remove federal public servants at will; and invoke special powers to seize control of First Amendment-protected activities, criminal justice, elections, immigration and more.\nThe \u0026ldquo;guest essay\u0026rdquo; continues with praise for the few lawyers in the first Trump administration who stood up to his excesses, and a warning that legal checks and balances would be largely absent from his second:\nAlarming is the growing crowd of grifters, frauds and con men willing to subvert the Constitution and long-established constitutional principles for the whims of political expediency.\nThe actions of these conservative Republican lawyers are increasingly becoming the new normal. Any legal movement that could foment such a constitutional abdication and attract a sufficient number of lawyers willing to advocate its unlawful causes is ripe for a major reckoning.\nOur country is in a constitutional emergency, if not a constitutional crisis.\n NYT VIA The Guardian.\n",

I also don’t believe that any government should be allowed to force the parents into shortening it.\nThat said …\nFirst name … Sofía Middle Names … Fernanda Dolores Cayetana Teresa Ángela de la Cruz Micaela del Santísimo Sacramento del Perpetuo Socorro de la Santísima Trinidad y de Todos Los Santos\n.. might cause havoc with the Spanish computer systems … so I do understand!\n",

It’s one plane and you’re done.\nThinking bigger - I would get a bomb with all that liquid onto the London - Paris Eurostar. Here. it is clear that the authorities are not worried because unlike Airports you might typically travel through .. at the railway stations no such limits seem to be in place.\nFurther thinking would have me board in Paris - not London, because in Paris they just scan your bag - no need to remove electronics, shoes, belts … so much easier than taking everything out and having to hide all your terrorist toys.\nThen when you set your bomb off … you not only take out a train … with probably a lot more casualties … but also destroy a major travel conduit in a single stroke.\nor … OR …\nMaybe all the bomb detection stuff employed by the railways is so much more sophisticated than the stuff used by Heathrow et al … in which case … hello? Heathrow .. are you there?\nor … OR …\nMaybe the railway people the French in particular … just know that it’s all just theater and are refusing to take part.\nI think I’m going for that last choice … but I really don’t know - it’s just a hunch.\nWhat do you think?\n",

    "text": "This post was originally published on September 26th 2003. Penned by John Parker - one of the founders of the original Just Good Music Blog. The source was found thanks to The Internet Archive Wayback Machine. These days it sits in my online archives, but just last month it was 20 years old and I wanted to resurface it, because I always liked it and for me, still holds true. What do you think? AND, I wonder if John would be interested in a twenty years later update? We will see.\n Lately I haven’t derived the same pleasure from my music collection, or even music in general, that I’ve been accustomed to my whole life. I’m trying to figure this out.\nIt used to be simpler, I think. You would reach an age - let’s say 30 on average - and pretty much drop out of the current music scene. Your record collection would begin to age like fine wine. You’d stop going to gigs and reading Rolling Stone and Down Beat, and the station presets in your car were no longer college stations playing the wide range of emerging new stuff, but the major commercial channels playing bands who are all 6 months away from being featured in a Lexus commercial. There was a clear dividing line between the stuff the kids and the grown-ups listened to that has faded, blurred and, finally, today, disappeared.\nLeaving aside the impact on today’s teenagers of not really having a musical outlet for those rebellious impulses, where does this leave us? What are our options as we mature in our lifestyles? Do our musical tastes change, or, as I’m beginning to suspect, does the time pressure we’re under in the push for ever-greater productivity at work, quality time with family, expanding our educational horizons and seeking new experiences in our recreation hours force us to rely more and more on commercial filters for access to new music?\nTypically we proceed down one of two paths. The first is to go deeper instead of wider. We stick to the same bands that we listened to in our youth, kidding ourselves that we’re still at the bleeding edge. Somehow we allow it to escape our notice that the bands we once thought would lead the revolution and bring down the establishment are now peddling mobile phones. The other route is that we conscientiously seek out new sounds, but we do it in tightly defined context of the ‘Emerging Artists Block’ on KLLC Tuesday nights at 8:00pm. Surrounding ourselves with the familiar, grounding the experience just as firmly in our past. This exposes us to bands that are perhaps a year away from the TV commercial breakthrough, but still clearly well established successes, hardly bands that need our sponsorship, our interest or us.I think it mostly comes down to time.\nCertainly the world is a busier place, and cell phones, laptops, Internet access, Blackberrys, pagers and PDAs don’t help. Sometimes technology does us a disservice, and as much as the perpetually connected nature of our modern lives enhances our productivity and responsiveness, I miss the time I used to have alone with my stereo system.\nIn high school, I spent 80% of my disposable income on my stereo system, Infinity Reference Studio monitors, Marantz receiver, Thorens turntable, and a Nakamichi cassette deck. After school, I would make compilation tapes while doing my homework. I miss lowering the stylus into the record groove, counting the seconds from the end of the previous song and allowing for the delay in engaging the tape deck, winding up the input volumes for smooth transitions between songs and volume-leveling wildly varying album recordings by ear. Today, I can drag-and-drop 10 hours of music into my MP3 player in about 8 seconds. I can save virtual playlists, creating, modifying and deleting compilations instantly. It’s certainly more convenient, but it’s nowhere near as engaging.\nIn college, I spent 80% of my disposable income on records. Living in a dorm and in an off-campus apartment with roommates, we shared our record collections and commented actively on each others musical tastes. My friends collectively listened to a wide variety of music, and I eagerly devoured every new artist, new style, and new sound in my quest for great musical experiences. Today, I have less time for that, less engagement with my friends in purely recreational activities like listening to music. I miss that.\nOne nice thing about record albums was that they had two sides. Again, it’s certainly more convenient to have all the music on a CD that can play straight through. And even more so to have them all recorded digitally on the PC. But having an album side that lasts 20-25 minutes forces you to pay attention. You have to get up and turn the record over, which reengages you. Having hours of music queued up, it’s easy to let your mind wander back to the ever-present to-do lists. These days, I too frequently put a new CD on, start listening to it, and realize some time later that the CD is over and I can’t remember anything beyond the first song.\nToday, my primary listening venue is my car. It’s not by choice, as it certainly isn’t an ideal listening environment even with the very best automotive stereo equipment. This is the only block of time that I have, however, that is long enough to listen to an entire CD at one time. In the car, though, I inevitably wind up spending all my time on the cell phone. And there’s simply no getting around the fact that your attention is going to be demanded by your driving, and the insanity of other drivers trapped in the 90 minute commute to Silicon Valley - flying down I-280 at 90mph mandates focused attention.\nNor am I alone in this. I was over at a friend’s house last weekend doing some dedicated music listening - something that has happened all too infrequently of late. I have been thinking about these issues for a while, and decided to reach out and see if I could force some engagement. Miguel and Diana are from Brazil, and I brought up Brazilian music and they volunteered to play some of their collection for us. So we packed up some food and joined them for a musical lunch on Saturday. We heard Oswaldo Montenegro, Milton Nascimento, Chico Buarqueâ, all great stuff. Miguel had, of course, ripped all the songs to his computer, and we were listening to it over some pretty crappy computer speakers. Hardly ideal. I complimented him on the selection, though, and his response was yeah, you should hear it in my car! This is just wrong.\nSo now, understanding the issues a little better, I see a clear need to reengage my musical sensibilities. I think, for me, this means two things.\nFirst, I need to plan some dedicated music time. It can’t be an after-thought any more, because my free time for ad hoc recreational activities is asymptotically approaching zero. If it’s a priority, it needs to be reflected in my calendar. I need to put some thought into that, too, because I’m going to have a hard time defending hours of just sitting in the Lazy-Boy listening to CDs. I need to be doing something with the music. Maybe it’s time to develop a digital archiving system. Maybe wire the house for sound, including the patios outside. Maybe some stereo equipment upgrades are in order. Maybe I need to spend some time classifying my current music collection, and expanding it into new areas. Maybe write some music reviews I can share with friends or even wider audiences.\nSecondly, it’s also clearly time to get back into concert mode. I need to find the local clubs with live music, watch the major venues for show announcements and plan my calendar around some key concerts. And there needs to be a focus on new music. Nothing gets the blood flowing like watching the band hit their zone on stage, rocking out and feeling the music flowing through the crowd, that sense of being there that not even the finest stereo equipment can reproduce.\nMusic is too important to me to let it simply fade into the background of my life. It’s a part of who I am and who I want to be, and it deserves some attention. We’re going on a quest to get reacquainted. My foray into Brazilian music my friends last weekend was the first conscious step on this journey.

And the Palestinians - truly.\nBUT … since the news seems only capable of one story at a time - I guess I am thankful that it isn\u0026rsquo;t about yet another celeb breakup.\nStill - it does mean that Ukraine is soon going to be forgotten \u0026hellip; so before that happens \u0026hellip; a reminder\nI think at core this explains so much of the Israel / Palestine \u0026lsquo;conflict\u0026rsquo; - don’t you just love thse weasly words?\nMeanwhile over in Ukraine, it’s a similar story. (Not forgetting that this part of the fight didn’t start in 2022 - it started on Feb 20th 2014 - and we got upset and then forgot about it.)\nCan you spot the difference?\nCan you explain why the difference?\n One man\u0026rsquo;s terrorist is another man\u0026rsquo;s freedom fighter.\n ",

    "title": "Politically Correct Conference Panels.",
    "text": "Another post that didn\u0026rsquo;t quite make it - written on a phone as I was listening to professionals on stage talking about ‘fake news’. That wasn’t how the panel phrased it - but still, it was what they were talking about … and not very well - far too politically correct …. I made these notes and have not spent a great deal of time \u0026lsquo;cleaning them up\u0026rsquo;.\nSome of the keynotes I jotted down on the day \u0026hellip;\n MORAL LEADERSHIP GDPR TRUMP GOVT CLOSE DOWN DEFUND MUSK BUSINESS MODELS US CENTRIC - WITH A BIT OF UK FOX DOMINION CASE CAN’T GET OUT OWN HOUSE IN ORDER FALSE EQUIVALANTS   .. and there was so much more. But it was ten days ago now \u0026hellip; so \u0026hellip;\n I sat through two panels, close enough in topic that two panelists were on the stage both times. All good, solid stuff … but to me, there was more to be gleaned (learned?) by what wasn’t said than what was. Representations from the U.S.A., U.K., Poland and Ukraine. I sat and listened and took enough notes to write a book.\nAt the end of the first panel, 5 people including me put hands up to ask questions … one was taken and then not unanswered.\nAt the end of the second panel, even more hands went up, this time I was chosen as one of two .. and we both got responses.\nNote … responses, not answers.\nMy question was apparently video\u0026rsquo;d by a film maker - and I was told I will be able to get a copy of it. If I do - I will be sure to post it here.\nI distilled my notes to three issues that came top of mind as I listened. In broad terms, the discussion was around fake news and disinformation campaigns. My three points follow - NONE of this was raised across some 11 professionals on the stage. Instead the\n1) The money … follow it.\n Facebook has zero motivation to ‘make things better’ .. they make money by being engaged .. they do that by creating and manipulating conflicts between people. The case that Fox lost against Dominion .. and more to come .. did a fraction of the damage that Facebook did, but for all the wrong reasons they have laws that protect them from publishing lies. Fox’s fines meanwhile are already around 1 billion dollars The same can be said of Twitter .. but they are even worse thanks to new management. But - twitter’s management receives billions of tax payer monies … for traveling to space and building cars amongst others. Cut his funding until he does something.  2) Laws.\n It was pointed out that in Europe there are far more laws than the US … to protect people. ( I would agree .. the cynic in me would say that this is not going to change any time soon, primarily because US law is mainly about protecting business not people. That said, just to pick one of those EU laws … GDPR, the resultant fines are rounding errors to the corporations being fined .. so potential fines are built into the accounts as the cost of doing business  3) Hierarchy versus Network.\n it’s all very well saying we are a hierarchical bureaucracy .. and so it is hard to bypass the bureaucracy. Really? Have you been watching Trump over the past 7 years? He didn’t wait for permission to tweet. Not only that but Gaetz, Boebert, Greene et al are all cutting through the bureaucracy to the point that the govt is two days away from being closed down (as I was taking notes) - with defunding Ukraine being the high? Point of their agenda.  AND AND AND \u0026hellip;\nA total of some 11 people who waxed lyrical on the issues - and not one talked about REAL issues. What a waste.\n",

They didn’t cost, or of the did, it wasn’t that much, but more often than not it was just something that was a nice touch.\nCompare and contrast with more modern times … just in the past 48 hours …\n Thankyou for booking your flight with us, would you like to reserve a seat? Charges start at just ten Euros. How lovely to see you, welcome to our hotel. I see you are early, your room is ready, but check in isn’t until 3pm. We can give you early access for just thirty Pounds. Absolutely you can leave your luggage over night, that will be seven pounds and fifty pence, per night per bag. That low price for that flight? It goes up by around 40% if you actually want to check a bag. 24 Hour rental for a car, $150. (Not a typo). Moreover 25 Hour rental for a car, $300. Better get there on time. This ticket only allows for one checked bag. The second will cost 100 Dollars. (The web site said 65 Pounds, itself a recent increase from 50 Pounds.)  (Yes … we’re traveling)\n",

    "text": "He was (is) a lovely man. I had to lean in to hear what he was saying. So I did. Our conversation continued and he apologized for his speech. No apology necessary, but he had identified that it was hard for me to hear (loud place aside), he was also a little ‘croakey’.\nHe explained that he had had cancer.\nCancer of the throat.\nThree times.\nHe was diagnosed in 2017. The doctors recommended he have surgery. He went through the surgery and ‘radio’ and ‘chemo’. “Let’s see” they said.\nA year later in 2018, the doctors did a PET Scan, and found ‘some more’, so they recommended he have surgery and ‘radio’ and ‘chemo’. “Let’s see” they said.\nA year later in 2019, the doctors did a PET Scan, and found ‘some more’, so they recommended he have surgery and ‘radio’ and ‘chemo’. “Let’s see” they said.\nHe got his clearance a year later in 2020, and as I write, it is 2023. Finally he is three years clear.\nHe is such a positive, focussed, alive person … despite not having eaten solid food for 5 years. Despite having to grind the pills he needs to take daily into a powder before he can swallow them. Despite having lost so much of his throat where the surgeon had cut and cut and cut … to remove the cancer. Despite having had his vocal cords so damaged that the raspy, quiet speech is now his voice. Despite no longer having any of this teeth left because of the radiation therapy. Despite all of this and so much more … like going through all of this totally alone.\nHis positivity was absolutely awe inspiring.\nNo ‘poor me’. No ‘why me’. No ‘sad face’. Just happy and grateful to be alive - and alive he most certainly is. Living life as much to the full as he can as he put it.\n—\nAll of this resonated deeply.\nMy cancer diagnosis was January 2021. It was identical. Both of us were ‘T2, stage 4’, with three significant differences.\n I did not have surgery. My doctors said it was inoperable. I was in New Zealand, not the US. They told me that I didn’t have time to get back and ‘start all over again’. I was not alone. 🔗 I had Jax by my side every step of the way.  As of now, it looks like we beat it … having got my two year clearance just a few weeks ago.\nThat said at the time, hospitalized twice, in the first visit, Jax was told to be prepared for me ‘not to make it’. I was warned that everything that Cody is experiencing could be me plus, needing a cane to walk, maybe even a wheelchair. For me, I have essentially blocked this all out (my way of coping), so this served as a massive wake up call … a bigger one than I experienced when I walked into a new doctor who looked past me waiting for ‘John’ … expecting to see me hobbling in at best. Or another doctor here in the US who knew my background from the advance files that he had received and was stunned that they hadnt operated and ‘looked this good’.\nSure I have side effects, some of which I am told will be with me for the rest of my life, but compared to Cody … so insignificant that I shouldn’t mention it. I tend not to, but sometimes people ask.\n “Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming, ‘Wow! What a ride!’”\n 💬 Hunter S Thompson\n.. I try, but ain’t nothing compared to Cody who is doing just that … in Spades.\n This is a story from my occasional series \u0026lsquo;🖇️ Travels Without Charley\u0026rsquo; - my small \u0026lsquo;homage\u0026rsquo; to John Steinbeck. The names are changed to protect the innocent, but they are all true and based on conversations I have had with people that I have met around the world \u0026hellip; and who\u0026rsquo;s story resonates.\nThis particular one - more than any other in the published (and unpublished) series - resonated more than any other.\n",

    "title": "Why Large Organizations Often Fail To ‘Innovate’, Where ‘Tiny Companies’ Succeed.",
    "text": "Context Over on LinkedIN, a friend of mine shared a post by Phil Morle 🔗 on whether institutions / corporates can be founders. I wrote a long reply which caused LinkedIN to barf and reject my reply, which in turn caused me to publish two separate pieces; 🖇️ Don’t Trust The Silos. and 🖇️ Friends Don’t Let Friends Use Silos To Publish Their Thinking., neither of which are pertinent to understanding the flow of this ‘reply’, but I wanted to highlight why this isn’t a reply on the post.\nIn Summary I asked ChatGPT to summarize the post. 🖇️ In 200 characters AND 200 words \u0026hellip; not by usual gorgeous style 🤣 - but not wrong.\nMy Reply The piece was good and I wanted to add my two cents, since on initial read I found it confusing. My interpretation of the core premise is to better understand some of the reasons behind why large organizations often fail to ‘innovate’, where ‘tiny companies’ succeed.\nThe confusion I had started in the title of the piece, ‘Can Institutions Be Founders’ … which extended into the piece itself.\nConfused because IMHO, founders are people and whether an organization is big or small, new or old, innovative or staid … they are not people, though they are made up of people … and processes, strategies, plans …\n\u0026hellip; yes \u0026hellip; AND \u0026hellip; the organization doesn’t allow the founder to behave like one.\nPayPal, to randomly choose an innovative start up, was an organization with a large number of subsequently famous founders that went on to start many other successful innovative companies that changed the landscape of business. The founders were/are people. It is people that are the innovators. The startups, the organizations are the vehicles that enable that change.\nOne of the great unspoken truths of the start up world is that despite our worship of the individual, we ignore that they don’t do it by themselves. They have an idea and build a company made up of many people to realize their vision. The team all contribute to the organizations success. Don’t look to me to document the traits of a great ‘founder’, plenty of places to check that list, just to say that an organization can allow those traits to soar and create … or they can kill it.\nJobs, Gates, Ellison … insert your ‘hero of choice’ … are great at what they do/did because of their original vision, their leadership, their focus, their tenacity, their communications, their sales ability and so much more … but none of them succeeded without their team to realize their ambition.\nIn other words .. it is the Organisation that delivers the vision.\nSo the real question is why does it more often than not, take an organization called a startup to deliver those transformative innovations rather than an existing organization? (Yes - there are exceptions.) Remember Gates and Ellison seperately out innovated IBM, Jobs, Xerox, FinTech startups are leaving Banks and Financial Institutions in the dust, Bezos destroyed the bookstores … it\u0026rsquo;s an epidemic .. but we associate the founders name with the innovation and success .. and forget that without the team of people they assembled they could never execute.\nWith that caveat out of the way, arguably Ellison could have joined IBM and … with an instant team, and finance ‘ready to go’ would likely have failed. Bezos could have joined Barnes and Noble … and failed, the Collison brothers could have joined Citi .. and failed, Jobs … you get the picture.\nThey would have failed, not because they didn’t have what it takes, because clearly they do, but rather because because the organization would have clipped their wings.\nWhy?\nThe topic has been very well studied and reported on in a book called 🔗 Zone To Win by 🔗 Geoffrey Moore possibly more famous for 🔗 Crossing The Chasm\nIn the pages of ‘Zone To Win’ you will find a pretty solid analysis of why established organizations fail to innovate. Turns out the first job is to identify what kind of innovation we are talking about …\n… and build from there.\n(Interesting to note that when we talk about \u0026lsquo;innovation\u0026rsquo; our minds automatically jumps to what Geoff describes as \u0026lsquo;disruptive innovation\u0026rsquo; on the left in the diagram, but there are also \u0026lsquo;sustaining innovations\u0026rsquo;, which tend to operate inside those large organizations.)\n Meanwhile, the founders build their organizations in their own image, make their own rules, and relentlessly drive their vision over years … sometimes to the frustration of people inside this companies who have their own ideas as to what could happen. For example both Marc Benioff and Tom Siebel are Oracle alumni that had the vision of ‘software for sales’ respectively (not respectfully) creating Salesforce and Siebel. A vision that at the time was not shared by Larry, so they left. Subsequently LJE became a believer having been an early investor in Salesforce, launching NetSuite and eventually buying Siebel.\nIn the end, I don’t believe that Phil and I are that far apart in thinking. His summary of the seven people traits are not wrong … but hand in hand with that goes the need for the organization to not just support the fledgling initiative but to actively defend it from the cuckoos who inhabit the rest of the organization.\n.. and a framework to unpack the challenge and work out what an organization can do about it.\nIf there is interest I can expand a lot further, but for now, if you have got this far, THANKYOU. What do you think?\nPlease throw in your two cents below and let’s see if together we can make a buck.\n",

(Now THAT makes sense.)\nAll this to say that if you used to follow my podcast - know that it is now in a different place - so do please subscribe. It can be found here.\nInteresting side note \u0026hellip;. There are a LOT of People First Podcasts - and even with the hiatus - apparently still doing better than most.\n Side Note: The image featured on the cover art is by Alina Grubnyak on Unsplash here\n",

(I think).\n If you had hired as many different builders in the past five years as Britain has hired home secretaries, you would assume your house was deeply flawed. Yet the latest, Suella Braverman, one of four in that time, has managed 10 months under Rishi Sunak and is reportedly under pressure to be sacked. It is hard to imagine how a senior minister in a controversial department can operate when those around her think she is about to go. To put it mildly, the job should be held by someone with the authority to act. The habit of Boris Johnson and now Sunak of using cabinet jobs not as a reward for competence but in return for loyalty has been disastrous. The Home Office is not alone. In the past four years Britain has had six education secretaries and three transport secretaries. No wonder the British government is a mess.\n ",

Robert Fenton, FEMA’s Region 9 administrator, likened the Maui fire to wildfires such as a 2018 blaze that destroyed much of the town of Paradise, California. He said the scale of destruction reminded him of the Mississippi Gulf Coast after Hurricane Katrina. But a major difference, he said, is the ability to respond.

Don’t spend too much time looking for or reading one.\n  You can’t rely to an executive within your company or an expert who’s prescribing to do this or do that - they’re just guessing (maybe with more wisdom and better intuition, but still guessing what will work). Listen to their advice, but realize it’s just advice. It’s on you to figure it out.\n  Even if a strategy or tactic worked one time, there’s no guarantee it will work again to get the same result.\n  And, that’s part of the beauty of this profession. There are not two deals, two decisions, two buyers or two experiences that are ever the same.\nSo what can you do?\n Be curious, not invasive Run experiments (in a controlled manner) Be incredibly creative Be an awesome listener Become good at solving problems and finding solutions Care a whole lot about your client’s situation and outcome Be collaborative, not cunning Never compromise integrity Value your time Be inspiring and persistent but not pushy or tone-deaf Have a very positive attitude  He is definitely not wrong.\n",

    "text": "Over on LinkedIN, 🔗 Richard Foster-Fletcher - founder of 🔗 MKAI asks\nThe full piece is here\nI started to reply and of course LinkedIN gave me its usual ‘too long’ message … hence the post. (Those that follow me, might recognize some of the arguments.)\nMy Response Yes we do need to rethink work-life balance … and we should start by scrapping the concept entirely. I doubt Ed Sheeran (to pick a random name) worries about his work-life balance? Or anybody who is doing what they love and getting paid to do it for that matter.\nThe problem is that for most people ‘work’ is not a passion, or love … it is the means to an end of building income that then allows them to follow their passion. Remember ‘hobbies’? Remember ‘holidays’? Remember retirement? … all constructs that allow people to take a break from ‘the machine’ and do what they really want to do.\nWork-Life balance is one of those. It is only needed in a world where the work part is not your dream, passion, love …. So bring on the AIs and let them pick up the drudgery of our work lives. Let people move on to thinking and doing things that they consider meaningful and love and have a passion for.\nOf course, this Utopia is destined to fail, without significant changes in the social fabric of society.\nTake a look at what most musicians, artists, writers (insert the thing you really love and want to do) actually earn and quickly realise that they don’t make a living, much less a good one. Now imagine doubling or trebling the number of people trying to earn a living in that way .. and ask yourself if X million people currently struggle to make a living, how 2X or 3X are going to do that?\nBonus question. When will corporations stop thinking of customers and staff as two distinct ‘audiences’, and realize that they are all connected, starting with the fact that they are all people. As more companies shed people from their books through automation, outsourcing, off shoring and now (apparently) AI, they get to produce more and more things for customers to buy at less and less cost. Thats the ‘maximizing shareholder value’ bit.\nLast time I looked, the buying power of the robot market was non existent - primarily because they don’t get paid for the work they do. As ‘the machine’ replaces more and more people by ‘machines’, there will be less and less people earning income to buy the stuff that the corporations are producing, it doesn’t matter how good their product is … nobody can buy it, even if they want to. Then what?\nThis is why asking what the future of work looks like is asking the wrong question.\nBTW - Richard hosts an excellent salon under the umbrella of MKAI, hit me up if you would like to join - and I will connect some dots.\n",

    "title": "Idris Elba and I Have Something To Talk About.",
    "text": "Idris Elba Says He Was Held at Gunpoint After Trying to Intervene on Man Threatening Woman\nTrue story. So was I. A little over 30 years ago … South of Market in San Francisco. (Just in that one sentence you have more information about my story than the linked article tells you about the Idris story)\nAND I wasn’t even intervening on an argument - I was just ‘hanging’ with my friend.\nThere were three of them, one with the gun, one watching while the third put his hands into my pockets looking for (I assume) money or a wallet. He found nothing. I don’t know why because the wallet was there. Finding nothing, the one with the gun looked at me intently, staring me down. It seemed to last a lifetime. And then he nodded to his two buddies and off they sauntered. No words spoken. No need.\nI have had on occasions shared this story with small groups of people - generally when people start going on about how they won’t travel to x or visit y - after they have just heard about some violence in said location … which IMHO is just ridiculous - and why I share it. That said, I have never shared my story in writing, on a blog, into Social Media. For a start - who would be interested? After all, nothing happened. Then nothing happened in the Idris story, where the key point of the piece was …\n “He pulled out a gun, stuck it right in my face.”\n and\n Elba didn’t elaborate on the actions he took to talk the man down, or what happened to the woman after the encounter. But given that the actor is able to recollect the instance, the situation seems to have been quelled.\n That’s the story - and that qualifies for an entry in 🔗 Entertainment Weekly, The NME, The Daily Mail and hosts of other places\nMeanwhile, 🔗 When 5 people get stuck in a tiny little sub it makes the headlines - while over 700 lives lost in The Mediterranean at the same time barely achieved a footnote.\n What Makes News? I sense a pattern.\n",

Not for me to review this movie - far more qualified and interesting people than me to read on that front - BUT - it is as good as you have been told.\nTwo thoughts beyond what yours truly has so far read.\n1] I knew Robert Downey Junior was in the movie and just did not recognize him. He must surely be up for a best supporting actor nomination.\n2] I did not know Tom Conti was in the film - and there he was - playing Einstein. For me, not a logical choice, but having scene him - GREAT choice.\n",

    "text": " \u0026hellip; and actually a hell of a lot more. Now, with the calm of the morning, and many days behind me, I have had time to reflect on this 🖇️ ’Journal Storm’ and understand a little more about what was going on.\nThe Story It had been a long hot day, Margarita’s and a bite to eat were necessary - so we decided to hit a local bar for Happy Hour. Jax was finishing off some errand, so I went ahead, sat down in a couple of corner seats, ordered a Margarita, some ‘bites’ and waited. I looked around and observed the other patrons - you know - as you do.\nAll was what we would expect, except for one guy who’s behavior with the bar staff was weird. He clearly had an issue about how he was being served. ’Spidey senses up’ … he was definitely more antagonistic to the one woman bar keep than the two male ones. Just an observation. Thought nothing of it. No words were exchanged.\n15 minutes in, Jax appeared, extended the food order, modified the margarita order (as she does, it is her prerogative) and we were off to the races.\nNot sure how it all started, but before I knew it Jax was in conversation with this same dude. I paid no attention - just earwigging. Climate Change, Immigration, American Exceptionalism, Biden’s lies, Democratic corruption were all terms that he brought into the conversation seemingly from nowhere. I nudged Jax and suggested she just let him go. He wasn’t worth the time. She wanted to explore. Before long I was brought in to the flow - since he was making some pretty outlandish statements about Climate Change … I offered an opinion … and was rapidly ‘closed down’. I disengaged. Jax continued, developing the ‘conversation’ to how climate change has a strong link to human migration and so trafficking (very much her world), and that rapidly morphed into him going on about ‘IMMIGRATION’, ‘BIDEN’, ‘WALL’ and … Jax pointed out to him that whatever your politics, it is clear that … he cut her off - asking her how she knew more than ‘experts’.\nI couldn’t resist, so I once more interjected … and asked whether he wanted to listen to what she had to say, because she actually is an expert. He shut up for two seconds and then asked her if she had seen ‘that movie’ … I drifted off and he’s once again in full force telling here that ‘she is no expert - and how can she possibly know what she is talking about … I tried to pull her out again. Failed \u0026hellip;\nThe dude went on about something or other … I didn’t care what and pointedly got out my phone and posted this (to clarify - the ‘they’ referred to in that post was actually Jax - not sure why I said ‘they’).\nThe conversation lecture continued and then he leant over to me and said ‘high five’? Holding out his hand, grinning. I ignored him. ‘fist bump’? … changing his hand formation.\nI continued to ignore him and Jax told him that she knows me and ‘he isn’t going to do that’.\nHis voice raised (I assume that was so he made sure that I heard) \u0026hellip;\n You see this is the problem - how can we ever discuss things we disagree about if people don’t engage.\n I had had enough and asked the barkeep if there was another part of the bar we could move to. (No, sorry, full).\nA quiet exchange with Jax \u0026hellip; and then I looked directly at the dude and said \u0026hellip;\n “You are spouting such a pile of crap that I am no longer in this conversation.”\n … and walked out to the deck.\nI was there for about ten minutes and got a text from Jax to meet her ‘downstairs’.\nI did.\nThe next few days, Jax kept going back to the conversation. Why was he like that? Why was he so rude? How could I have been different? (She’s good at that - I should learn from her more.) Slowly what happened in those ten minutes emerged \u0026hellip; sadly he had got to her \u0026hellip; like crap on your pants.\nThat was last week - thankfully, she now seems to have got over it.\nI haven’t. I better not see him again.\n What follows I can only report on because Jax stayed for an additional ten minutes.\n He continued with his monologue. At one point called the barman over and told him to offer ‘whatever they want to drink’ to the ‘lovely young ladies at the other end of the bar’. At no point did he ask Jax (who he was talking to and sat right beside him) if he could buy her a drink (though for the record, she would have refused). At one point he said to here “You never told us who you are” … she was two sentences in when he closed her down with “Sugar - I don’t need your resume”. Jax learnt that he was (in his words)  “a very successful businessman from the oil industry” “very rich” no clarification was to why either of these unsubstantiated facts were important to the conversation (a word in this case that I define very loosely).

How it was built, how it stays frozen and the main man behind it\nAnd yes Dubai has not one but two indoor ski slopes. So why shouldn’t the Coachella valley have its own ice rink?\nAnswers on a postcard ….\n",

    "text": "Noting that Apple just passed the THREE TRILLION Market Cap this past week - I remember all the hoopla when It passed the ONE TRILLION Market Cap threshold - but I hadn’t realised that it was as recent as 2018 - just slightly less than 5 years ago. Seems like just \u0026lsquo;yesterday\u0026rsquo;.\nTripling Market cap in three years is impressive enough. Doing that when you are the largest Market Cap in the world \u0026hellip;\n On Aug. 2, 2018, Apple (AAPL) made history by becoming the world\u0026rsquo;s first publicly traded company to achieve a market capitalization of $1 trillion.\n Somehow I also didn’t know that ‘the return’ was as close to Cook’s starting date as this;\n September 1997 - Steve Jobs returns to Apple March, 1998 - Tim Cook joins Apple as senior vice president for worldwide operations  But I do remember some older history, because I am old enough now and close enough then to recall ‘the noise’ at the time.\n October 6, 1997: Michael Dell makes an infamously bleak appraisal of Apple’s fortunes. Asked what he would do with the struggling company, the founder of Dell Inc. says he would “shut it down and give the money back to the shareholders.”\n (Who’s Michael Dell again?)\nMarch 1997 : 🔗 Ellison still wants Apple\nThis a headline after Steve\u0026rsquo;s close friend Larry J Ellison suggested to Steve that he just buys Apple outright - award Steve 25% of the stock - and \u0026lsquo;get Apple back to its rightful position.\nSteve talked him out of it.\nI am going to guess (we will never know) that had Larry bought Apple - it would not have become the company it is today.\nDate wise, this time also marked the end of LJE\u0026rsquo;s baby sitter\u0026rsquo;s (literally) rise through the ranks of Oracle - his last position running the division responsible for putting Oracle on the Mac (pause for a moment while you contemplate that idea). Marc Benioff then went on to start Salesforce. I wonder if he would have rejoined Apple had Larry bought the company?\n",

When the bill arrives (state by state it varies but in California), it will come in at around $64.35 - with an expectancy of you ‘voluntarily’ adding a further 15 to 30% (the range I often see on restaurant recommendations).\nLets call it the ‘minimum … 15% - adding another $9.\nFor a total of $73.35 - fully 22% more than the advertised price.\n22% of surprise fees that will not be part of Biden’s discussion.\n",

Not only that but Nasdaq doubled its debt load to do the deal. The 18 times revenue is interesting in that it is triple the usual revenue to acquisition ratio.\nNasdaq closed down 10%.

It is truly fantastic - use it all the time to find post I know I have written in the past - that I want to link to - like here .. imagine how long that would have taken to build without a powerful search.\nI also use Hitchens by @pimoore for my site, and Pete rather conveniently included ‘Search’ as part of his template. Not sure what he is doing behind the scenes to make that work - but like all of Hitchens - it just worked out of the box.\nBut … BUT … ever since installing @sod ’s plugin, having two searches has annoyed me, but I lived with it. Although I knew how to hide the built in search in CSS, I did NOT know how to identify the element that needed hiding, Until NOW.\nThanks to Jason I can now find and identify the elements I need to drop into the CSS. (Again, I new all about ‘Inspect’, but for whatever reason I had a mental block when it came to finding the specifics.)\nNo longer - and as a result, I now have only 1 🖇️ Search on my site.\nNo idea if @sod is reading this - maybe I will ping him separately - and find out if he is working on an update - because I do have a few ideas.\n",

But put that aside, because the quirkiness of the debate tickles me. It’s ‘the other thing’ that has slipped quietly under the radar, that I am worrying about, because at some point in the online world, ‘real’ has become synonymous with ‘exist’.\nThat is … if it is not real - then it does not exist.\nReally?\nNow, I am not a philosopher - so the existence of a lemon I leave to people further up the pay grade scale than I, but I did get to wondering whether this is a ‘Cunkstion’1, or at least Cunk like?\nCan someone higher up the pay scale have a think and reply please?\nRead More From The Bloggess: 🔗 When life may or may not give you lemons\n  Cunkstion - a contraction of ‘Cunk Question’ - which is one of those innocent, easy ‘obvious’ questions that nobody has ever asked - but when you do - the expert finds themselves tied up in knots for one of three reasons …1) it is just plain stupid, 2 a non sequitur or 3) a deeply profound question demonstrating great insight (if on occasions - accidentally).\u0026#160;\u0026#x21a9;\u0026#xfe0e;\n   ",

Whether I want it or not, I get a pitch for their newsletter, and I have to go to their website and unsubscribe to opt out of the service.\n I did not know that. Is he right?\n “Opt out” is a growth hacking tactic that has become commonplace online and a time stealer, penalizing all Internet users. Online marketers are just a different version of spammers who annoy us on our mobile phones. And it is so because no one speaks on behalf of the people.\n I have been observing this \u0026hellip; just hadn\u0026rsquo;t thought of it as being a Substack issue. The whole thing flies in the face of good email practice that Chad and Jay wrote about in what seems like another life - but apparently the book only came out 10 years ago \u0026hellip; is that right?\n(Now in it\u0026rsquo;s fourth edition)\n",

    "title": "Small Businesses in New Zealand - And Elsewhere.",
    "text": "The particular comment I was responding to was in a private group hosted in New Zealand - hence the opening paragraph. BUT - I think it pertains to any country. In that post, this link was provided — I think New Zealand has more businesses (and hence ‘small’ businesses) per capita than pretty much any New Zealand just doesn’t have the people to support it.  BUT - when you leave New Zealand … there has been something happening for a while now. I will try to discover the article I wrote a while back ….  Here’s the nub … In the US (but I am pretty sure this applies to most countries) 50 to 60 years ago, big employers like GM and GE were the dominant market cap companies on the financial exchanges. Not entirely un-coincidentally, they were also the companies that employed the most people. Fast forward to today … the market caps of the biggest companies are an order of magnitude higher than the ones back then and the number of people they employ is an order of magnitude less. Meanwhile the population of America has doubled? Tripled?  So where are all those people now working? Answer small … or at least smallER businesses.  Some of this has been achieved by improved efficiencies … we no longer need banks of people directing calls, typing up documents, manufacturing cars …. But also … since the 70s there has been a steady drip of those organizations getting those people ‘off the books’ .. why employ people if you can off shore, outsource, automate processes … and the new one - use AI. The result is that more and more people are in smaller and smaller businesses but often working in service to a larger organization.  Quite simply - If I am building a house (actually - or metaphorically) .. do I employ everyone full time … or contract with the right resources at the right time to get the job done?  Tongue in cheek .. but for the longest time, I have had this vision of the ideal company comprising a single individual with ‘agents’ managing their ‘virtual supply chain’ that they need to deliver value to their customers.  This thought informs the graphic below - 'The Business Equation' - and is foundational thinking in the People First domain. ",

    "title": "💬 Hate Speech On Core Intuition",
    "text": "🔗 Just finished listening to the latest Core Intuition.\nAt one point in the conversation @manton and @danielpunkass were talking about community guidelines, social norms et al. Hate speech on Bluesky was specifically brought up. Apparently they have a way to add tags to posts so that posts can be marked as ‘hatespeech’, ‘not safe for work’, etc.\nSounded a pretty neat solution to me - but apparently someone over on @mastodon suggested that this meant BlueSky was allowing hate speech.\nHave to say, one of the common threads running through a lot of Mastodians I observe is the \u0026lsquo;superior\u0026rsquo;, \u0026lsquo;better than thou\u0026rsquo;, ‘my way or the highway’ attitude \u0026hellip; even down to comments like ‘if you don’t \u0026lsquo;alt text\u0026rsquo; your images - I will unfollow you'.1\nBut, \u0026lsquo;allowing\u0026rsquo; hate speech? There is no agreement what constitutes hate speech, so I guess this individual is judge and jury? Don\u0026rsquo;t get me wrong \u0026hellip; I think most \u0026lsquo;decent people\u0026rsquo; can bucket up the obvious extremes \u0026hellip; it\u0026rsquo;s when it gets to the grey areas it becomes difficult. Like art - we can\u0026rsquo;t define it - we just \u0026lsquo;know it when we see it\u0026rsquo;.\nI was reminded of a well used amorphism\n “One man’s terrorist is another’s freedom fighter”\n This also ties into something I wrote just yesterday\n1] I wonder if Mastodon is filling up with \u0026lsquo;snowflakes\u0026rsquo;. (Back when my mum was alive she used to rail on \u0026lsquo;do gooders\u0026rsquo; \u0026hellip; a term that seems to have fallen out of use these days - but the sentiment remain in these \u0026lsquo;behavioural vigilantes\u0026rsquo;.\n2] I wonder whether the meek have inherited the earth \u0026hellip; at least in terms of public discourse?\n3] Has the pendulum swung too far? Satire and parody has lost meaning and too many people are cancelling themselves for fear of public admonishment and worse - retribution from the herd.\nWhat do you think?\n   Too late - I have already unfollowed you. (Not that I disagree with the need to do it - and I try - but it doesn’t always happen and life is too short.)\u0026#160;\u0026#x21a9;\u0026#xfe0e;\n   ",

Seriously!\nSo friction to creating the clip removed, but still stuck on how a visitor would know the app was \u0026lsquo;playable\u0026rsquo; (no little \u0026lsquo;play\u0026rsquo; arrow) and even when they did - up popped another window \u0026hellip;\nAs @Miraz wrote \u0026hellip;\n It\u0026rsquo;s not clear that it\u0026rsquo;s an audio clip\n \u0026hellip; and as @pratik wrote\n I wish it started playing in-page.\n 💯❗️\nI am not a developer, coder, programmer \u0026hellip; by any stretch of the imagination - hell - I don\u0026rsquo;t even play one on TV.

I looked at Google with significant trepidation.\nEnter ChatGPT that I have played around with to better understand capabilities, but never with a view to creating something \u0026lsquo;production ready\u0026rsquo;.\nFrom opening ChatGPT to getting a finished result took me about two minutes - half of which was waiting for my web site page to flush out the old and refresh the new - twice (as the chat below makes clear).\nFor posterity - my conversation is below.\nOh - and this was using ChatGPT-3.\n🔗 This is the finished post in action.\n",

Earlier in the year I had been playing with Snipd. and even posted a couple \u0026hellip; 🔗 here and 🔗 here, but the friction on the adhoc process in the workflow - not so easy.\nSnipd is a good app for extracting a slice and posting. BUT I listen to Podcasts in Overcast, so when I wanted to snip something, I had to;\n make a mental note of where in the podcast I was go to Snipd find the podcast find the episode get to the part I want to snip \u0026hellip;  \u0026hellip; and only then could I start the process.\nClumsy - at best - and lots of friction - so I just made a note in Things - which you now know I never got round to!\n I might be blind, ignorant or stupid - but tonight I discovered that Overcast offers very similar (identical?) functionality. Is that new? Am I really that slow?\nAnyway, just tried out the Overcast mechanism - and very nice, sitting right there in front of me.\n🔗 My first example\nSnipd account deleted.\n",

    "text": "This is a new identity newsletter from my Kiwi friend Alan Mayo - it’s the start of a journey he is embarking on talking about Identity 2.5. …. wait what? … 2.5?\nDon’t fret - I’m not going to steal Alan’s thunder and get into what ‘2.5’ is - but Alan and I have had enough conversations for me to know that if you have an interest in identity - this short series is going to be well worth your time and his 2.5 solution is really rather clever.\n “This is about Identity, not Digital Identity.”\n And no - that is not code for the newsletter being deeply philosophical - exploring the Id etc … but rather recognizing the challenge that most tech conversation is about digital identity and essentially ignores ‘real world’ identity \u0026hellip; and this is true even if the blockchain does finally solve identity.\nQue?\nLet’s assume that we crack ‘digital identity’ - and in case you don’t know - we are a long way off that - but stick with me - ‘when’ it is solved what happens when you (say) catch a plane, phone a call center, walk into a store, visit a bank, get a mortgage … then what?\nIf you have explored these scenarios, you already know that it’s a mess and digital identity is not going to solve for those scenarios - except by morphing the real and digital worlds. Beyond that, \u0026lsquo;real world identity\u0026rsquo; is\n  inconsistent\n across industries and markets across multiple organizations even in a single organization    unreliable\n  hardly secure\n  random\n  … which typically means that organizations have to create - and support - multiple workflows and systems.\nUse Cases A Gas Company Call Center A certain Gas company in Southern California has a ‘call center’ security level that goes as follows …\n I tell them ‘my’ name … any name To validate who I am … I have to tell them ‘my’ address  That’s it. At that point I am free to meddle with that account as much as I like.\nHow do I know this? Because I have done that three times in the past week. THREE times. I am not asked for ‘social’ - though why that is ever considered secure in this day and age is beyond me. The number I call from is detected at their end - and it is NOT the phone number they have on the record for that account. That doesn\u0026rsquo;t matter. No secret questions were asked. No texts sent to the number on record.\nFull disclosure - I did this for a friend who was traveling and had full knowledge and permission from him (the account holder). Why? Because it was a simple issue that needed to be resolved. BUT had I used my real name I wouldn’t have even been able to have a conversation - because my information wouldn’t have correlated.\nBottom line however - if you find anyone else’s gas bill you could play havoc.\nDMV Identity I wrote a piece recently called An Afternoon With Kafka\nIt was meant to be a fun piece describing the trials and tribulations of renewing my US drivers license. In the end I got my license.\nKey point … the official address they have on record for me required me to prove my identity by providing third party utility bills. BUT, that address is up in Northern California - and I am currently in SOUTHERN California - so I asked if they could send my license to a local SoCal address.\nNo problem …. it was done - BUT - in DMVland, what that means is that my US Drivers license now has that temporary, non official address on it and I did not have to prove it was connected to me.\nI was asked recently to show my license to ‘prove my identity’. I ignored the oxymoron, showed them my license and they dutifully wrote down the address. On that occasion, it made no difference - but what happens if that address was important?\nMost people would look at the \u0026lsquo;official government doc\u0026rsquo; and take it at face value.\n Identity is clearly a mess.  Ok - that’s it - do please subscribe.\n",

    "text": "A little foraging around the hood yesterday afternoon … some observations.\nGoing by car makes … Teslas had the most unfriendly, aggressive drivers on the road.\nTo provide context, on one occasion I was mildly surprised when one car jumped the red lights .. red now, not amber \u0026hellip; red, only to see a second one accelerate across right on the first car’s tail causing me to swear in shock. After a brief gap, I guess people \u0026lsquo;with the green\u0026rsquo; figured it was ok to move … and they all did … only to slam on their breaks as a third car barreled through.\nNone of the three cars were Teslas … and yet Tesla still won the afternoon’s 🏆🎖️🥇\nAt the beginning of the expedition, I needed to do a ‘quick’ trip into Costco. As I left, I found myself standing in line with my receipt and cart. The Latino lady with two-children directly in front of me was definitely being ’checked’ as the ’checker’ worked around the cart accounting for each item on the list. It was maybe 7 items \u0026hellip; 2 of which were flat packs of water bottles.\nI had forgotten this process and had already packed my few items into a box. Watching the detailed reconciliation going on in front of me, I was just thinking about unpacking the box \u0026hellip; when she was waved through.\nThe checker looked at me and just marked the receipt of this old, caucasian male. There was no way he knew what was in my box (X-ray eyes aside).\nLater in the Mall, I passed a Tesla store. Back in the day, I remember lines at Tesla stores \u0026hellip; This one was empty \u0026hellip; other than a couple of staff \u0026hellip; maybe all the aggressive dicks in the area already have their Tesla?\nMeanwhile, the Apple Store was as full as ever. I quickly found my ‘pencil tips’ but was told I needed to ‘book an appointment’ to buy them \u0026hellip; he clearly spotted the horror on my face \u0026hellip;\n \u0026ldquo;Or you can check yourself out.\u0026rdquo;\n I had totally missed the sign. The process took me a whole minute. Very efficient. (I know, I know … this has been possible for the last ‘n’ years … but this was actually my first time in an Apple Store for such a minor purchase in nearly 3 1/2 years .. slack needs to be cut)\nOn my way home I stopped off at a Wholefoods to pick up dinner for the night. Inside the store was a communal eating area with a total footprint equivalent to half the store - including a bar with seats for maybe 25 people. I am sure this also is old news - but again - it\u0026rsquo;s been 3 1/2 years\n",

So, it was one of those where they paid me a bunch of money to convince me to spend some jet fuel and leave my home and pontificate, but then instead of taking me out onto the stage, they brought these five guys into the green room and sat around this table and started asking me all these very binary questions about where they should place their bets for the digital future: Bitcoin or Ethereum; VR or AR; and finally, New Zealand or Alaska—where should they invest in land to put their bunker for “the event”?\n 💬 Douglas Rushkoff\n(my bold) But still \u0026hellip;.\nIt’s not just rich foreigners not arriving - it’s ordinary people leaving … again.\nAll kinds of reasons - but just from my own peculiarly tight Kiwi circle\n  me - of course - though I haven’t abandoned the country completely!\n  a kiwi friend and his wife moved to Portugal in January.\n  a highly networked and successful tech entrepreneur who has built his businesses in New Zealand for the last 30 years, very well connected, recognized by many for his contribution to the country has hit a wall and is looking at the US and The Far East as new opportunities. His words;\n   “In New Zealand there is zero appetite in thinking beyond the shores of the country.\n an internationally successful VC who had spent the last two years in New Zealand seeking to kick start an incubator and accelerator wrote to me last week;   My overall experience in NZ shows that it is a country that is too small and internally focused to get meaningful traction as an innovator, not impossible, just a smaller pond and appetite …. I plan to build connections in Australia and further regionally in Asian markets this year.\n a good American friend who has lived in Aotearoa for the last 8 years. Again, accomplished and connected and still can’t get local traction, yet without trying is fielding calls from Singapore, Vietnam and Malaysia.   But there’s more. COVID saw a lot of Kiwis returning ‘home’. COVID has ‘moved on’ (well - we all know it hasn’t - but it is clearly now manageable), net result, the Kiwis are back out on the road again.\nExample - just like the UK, there is a severe shortage of healthcare professionals just one of many articles .. a shortage of 4,000 people (this in a country of 5 million people). If a similar ratio were applied to the US, there would be a shortage of over 1/4 million healthcare workers!\nHere’s the rub … in my three years in New Zealand I lost count of trained healthcare professionals (and accountants and engineers for that matter) who were driving for taxi companies and Ola. (I am sure that the same applied to Uber - but can’t speak to that, because - well - Uber ). Why? Because New Zealand requires them to go through all their training again. (Not just pass exams - but actually retrain.)\nMeanwhile - a Kiwi trained Healthcare professional can fly out of Auckland, land in Sydney, get paid more and have a lower cost of living.\nThere\u0026rsquo;s a lot more around the challenges that New Zealand face - which I\u0026rsquo;ll save for another day - just to leave you with a couple of quotes from Bernard Hickey - a Kiwi journalist and political commentator based in Wellington. (again - my bold.)\n Wayne Brown is actually simply expressing a view held by most asset owners and investors in Aotearoa-NZ’s economy, or as I call it, a housing market with bits tacked on. That deeply held and and so-far-extremely-profitable investment strategy is that owning shares or investing in businesses in Aotearoa is vastly inferior to owning land, especially leveraged residential land, and even better if it is residential-zoned land that remains banked and undeveloped. The\n  Wayne Brown (ed - the new major of Auckland) is being exactly what he is: a property developer who has actually made most of his personal money from land price appreciation on land made valuable through rezoning and paying for water connections at a lower-than-full cost.\n  Other parts of the New Zealand ‘MicroBlog Storm’\n",

Its like a book spine - should you turn your head to read sideways top to bottom OR bottom to top. There is a 99% standard - but still the 1% of spines designed the other way are around.\nI read columns like an old newspaper - down first - then across - not across then down as if you are reading a spreadsheet.\nIn Mars Edit - they are displayed alphabetically - so clearly that is possible.\nI have called this out to @manton - and we agreed, I am more than likely an edge case (over 50 categories (don\u0026rsquo;t judge)), but surely others have this challenge?\nIt would be good to choose preferred order in settings - but failing that, can we just have them alphabetically like @danielpunkass has them?\n/end\n",

    "text": "Back when I posted about how great Breaking Bad was … let me paraphrase @pratik \u0026hellip; \u0026ldquo;if you though that was good - wait till you try Better Call Saul\u0026rdquo;.\nThen @GramrgednAngel@zirk.us talked about The Atlantic who \u0026hellip;\n published a series examining it through a Shakespearean tragedy lens and making the argument that the ultimate main character wasn\u0026rsquo;t Walter, or Jesse, but Skyler.\n I just started series 3 of \u0026lsquo;Saul\u0026rsquo;. Oh my. Tragedy? I don’t know my Shakespeare as well as I could, but Saul has to be a contender. The character is heartbreaking. The relationship with his brother makes me tear up.\nI love the back story of Breaking Bad and the various characters emerging that eventually appeared in Breaking Bad.\nSuperb series.\n",

    "text": " Using just one album as an example of the mess that is Apple Music Meta Data ….\nConcerto For Group And Orchestra was a 1969 album by Deep Purple. It’s always been a favorite - despite not being a big fan of the band itself. I mean - it’s not that I don’t like them - they just don’t feature large in my ‘go to’ artist list … although Jon Lord … totally different story. A massive fan of Jon Lord.\nHe features in three lists I have on AlbumWhale\n Big Albums From ‘Small’ Artists List . Gateway Drugs … where he is one of five artists that loomed large in my musical preferences in 1969. That’s how long I have been aware of his work. But Is It Classical.  Anyway - back to the plot.\nTo put the album into context these are the first four albums in the Deep Purple discography ….\n July ’68 - ’Shades’. October ’68 - ’Taliesyn’. June ’69 - ‘Deep Purple’. December ’69 - The ‘Concerto’.  In other words in 17 months they released 4 albums - the 4th being this live album with The Royal Philharmonic;\nWith all the Apple Classical back and forth recently, I was delighted to find that it is indeed in the ‘classical’ app - which is great because for whatever reason I had never before found it in the main music app \u0026hellip;\n ‘Deep Purple’ - it is not there. (Not in albums, live albums nor compilations.). ‘Jon Lord’ - it is not there either. ‘The Royal Philharmonic’ - not there.  I have the original vinyl. I have the CD. I have ripped the CD into my iTunes Library, so it never really bothered me …. until now, because in the Classical App when I searched for Deep Purple OR Jon Lord - I found it …\n  Which got me to wondering - so back to the main app - and a quick search for ‘Malcolm Arnold’ - and voila - though if you search for ‘Malcolm Arnold’ in the classical app - who know if it is there … life is too short to wade through the results!\n Seperately, the recording that Lord did in 2012 is much easier to find - but that is the problem with Apple Music across the board. History and originals tend to be ignored if there is something more recent with the same / similar name.\n Also interesting that literally in the past two weeks there has been a lot of coverage about a group of artists going out on tour to play this music \u0026hellip;\nWatch: BRUCE DICKINSON Kicks Off 2023 Tour Performing JON LORD\u0026rsquo;s \u0026lsquo;Concerto For Group And Orchestra\u0026rsquo;.\n ",

That said - it is there \u0026hellip; and it is working (just a test post).\nShort of time at the moment, but I will be updating the associated json file with some real entries and then plan to explain in detail why this is so cool - if it isn\u0026rsquo;t immediately obvious.\nThank you, Andy - and I believe thanks also to @sod for some offline help and guidance in plugin creation that is not immediately obvious to any aspiring creator.\n",

    "text": " “I think the relationship of a warm-blooded creature versus an object that is still and silent—which is essentially what I think sculpture is—for me is the sort of fundamentals. Sculpture is in our everyday lives the whole time. Crossing the road with a lorry coming towards you is, in my opinion, a sculptural experience, where you as a flesh-and-blood object [are] up against the thing that isn’t. And one’s emotional and psychological assessment of that all happens in a flash.\n  To me, there is a big, sculptural presence there because of the way that large lorry is constantly displacing space as it comes towards you—so the track that is left behind, which is now empty, was once filled. And that’s what I think we do when we’re interacting with sculpture: the space is filled. As we walk around it, we are constantly losing an image of it and finding a new image. So quite a large part of what sculpture is, [is] not necessarily visual. And I think that’s quite shocking. [It’s] a state of affairs that we’re assessing.”\n 💬 Phyllida Barlow\n🔗 Read More\n",

But the White might not be who you think.\nI thought ‘the white’ was one ‘Steve White’. You might know him as the drummer for The Style Council and pretty much all the subsequent solo albums of Paul Weller. He clearly has chops in the drumming arena. He is also married to Sally Lindsay - the star of Madame Blanc - and the co writer and creator of the show. (I guess they thought they would keep it in the family).\nBut no \u0026hellip;\nThe song is actually written by Hague and Joel White - who is also the vocalist. In fact Joel is credited with writing their first (and only album), Alan seems to have come along later.\nAnd who is Joel White? Only Richard Hawley’s cousin!\nThat explains (so much of it) it.\n",

    "text": "How is brand Harry and Meghan faring in the US? News just in: not good\n Now the comedian Chris Rock has taken aim at the couple in his new Netflix special, Selective Outrage. He dismissed Meghan’s claims about racism in the royal family, saying: “Some of that shit she went through was not racism”, but “in-law” behaviour. He also joked about how it was odd Meghan seemed surprised by the fact the royal family might harbour archaic views. “It’s the royal family! They’re the original racists. They invented colonialism,” Rock said.\n  I’ll tell you what’s really boring: the neverending pity-me-please performance the two are foisting upon us. As a staunch anti-royalist I was sympathetic to the couple to begin with – my enemy’s enemy is my friend and all that – but the constant oversharing has jumped the shark. Particularly since it becomes more obvious by the day that their grievances are less to do with systemic inequality and more to do with feeling they didn’t get a big enough slice of the born-with-privilege pie. I mean, come on, you can’t go around complaining about how backwards the royals are while insisting that we plebs refer to you as Duke and Duchess. You want some credibility? Give up your stupid titles.\n ",

His entire political life lasted just 14 years.\n  Jimmy Carter was a man completely outside his time, and outside his place, from the moment of his birth until his death. He wasn’t a great orator.

An interesting piece even of itself., even more so if you read it and draw parallels with other parts of the world.\nThe boundaries on the map drawn are ‘cultural boundaries’, reflecting what people feel and how they relate to each other in the U.S.A.

(The percentage of top notch performers per capita from Canada must surely blow the US ratio out of the water … he declares without a shred of data to back himself up.)\n  How often artists are so deeply connected, gathering around each other in social groups, long before they are famous. This is not the same as John, George and Paul or Roger, Syd and Dave \u0026hellip; I am talking about just massive talents - hanging out with other massive talents - not particularly creating together or moving forward together professionally.

    "text": " A claim made by Mike Pesca on his \u0026lsquo;occasional\u0026rsquo; 🔗 Substack. But maybe that isn\u0026rsquo;t the point? Maybe that is also not right? He asked for comments. This post is is my response. What do you think?\nI definitely agree with the sentiment of your post. I do feel I kinda ‘know’ people on podcasts better than, those who’s newsletter or blog I read. That said …\nTo spend time listening to a podcast is a big time commitment. Example - listening to The Gist each week day requires me to devote around 2% of all my available time on that day, which translates to (maybe) 25% of my ‘disposable time’ (8hrs of sleep, 8hrs of work, (say) 6hrs of ‘life’ leaves 2 of disposable time).\nYes I can do other things while I listen, but it is still time intensive. PLUS, there is a commitment to that time to even get to know whether I want to listen. I know I can speed up the podcast - but really?\nMeanwhile, I can grok newsletters, blogs et al pretty quickly and make a decision if I really want to commit time to reading it. So to get to information - the written word every time. To get to ‘know’ someone … audio.\nBut there won’t therefore be a large number of people in that category that I really ‘know’ - if in fact any. Example: despite listening to the Gist for many years - because I like the show and more often than not enjoy what you are talking about - I still don’t really ‘know’ you.\nRead all the comments here\n",

    "title": "Why You Can't So Easily Replicate Silicon Valley",
    "text": " Wherever you go in the world, New Zealand, Scotland, Austin Texas, Raleigh North Carolina, Hyderabad, Shenzhen …. pretty much anywhere, you will find there are tech centers. Tech centers that often adopt ’Silicon’ or ‘Valley’ or variations on such in their names, but there are many more. The local government will often declare they are investing and building a tech center of excellence to ‘rival’ Silicon Valley. Except they aren’t. Let me explain.\nThis article seeks to provide insight into why these centers aren’t going to replicate ‘Silicon Valley’ any time soon. (BTW - to be clear, that isn\u0026rsquo;t necessarily a bad thing.)\nMaybe the first point is to remind ourselves that Silicon Valley is not so much a geography as a ‘state of mind’. The actual geography of Silicon Valley is a very small part of The San Francisco Bay Area. It doesn’t for example include San Francisco where companies like Salesforce and Twitter are headquartered. nor Berkley where Uber is headquartered, with a University of the same name that is synonymous with ‘Open Source UNIX’. Still that hasn’t stopped the world at large using Silicon Valley and The San Francisco Bay Area interchangeably. It also doesn’t matter to the main thrust of this short commentary.\nWhy Is Silicon Valley So Different AND Why Will Other Geographies Have Such A Hard Time Catching Up .. well they won\u0026rsquo;t if they attempt to compete with the Valley head on. Like in all competitive races, the winners in that competition will be those regions that redefine the landscape.\n—\nSitting at the intersection of varied and sometimes unrelated things that are often forgotten, not easily replicated and definitely requires time, I have identified 10 reasons that Silicon Valley has succeeded. (There may be more - but 9 is a good number. Isn’t it?)\nAlso, to keep the post to a manageable length, I won’t drill down into deep detail on any of the items - but happy to if asked. I will also be following this post up with more detail around some of the points and issues I raise in future posts.\n1) Venture Capital … in Silicon Valley has been around since the late 40s, early 50s - You don’t replace some 75 years of working in a couple of years.\n2) Great Weather And Environment … generally, so people will enjoy coming to the geography - and then staying - in all seasons - and it’s a very pretty region with realtively consistent climate. (Climate change not withstanding.)\n3) Culture … of California.\n4) Great Universities - plural - world class  5) Work Ethic Doing What It Takes, though we are moving into a world where this idea is beginning to break down. Historically though, the culture of the valley is long hours and hustle, no weekends - you just want to make it happen. It’s not holding up so well these days, but in the halcyon growth days that I consider to be 85 though 2000 it was definitely a differentiator. More in another post.\n6) Hippies  I am going to move on from this point and will come back to it later, but the fact is that San Francisco ’67 had significant impact on shaping tech thinking in the Bay Area.  7) Ecosystem of Financial Institutions, Lawyers and Government - Wilson Sonsini was founded in 1961 - Silicon Valley Bank founded in 1982  It’s not just tech - you need bankers, lawyers, government to understand what you are doing. This is why things like ‘valuations’ are so different when (say) a British company values your start up versus one from ‘Silicon Valley’. Silicon Valley, to riff on Wayne Gretzky - the US generally looks to invest based on where where the company will be … the more traditional thinkers invest based on where the company is.\n8) Focus Before Silicon Valley, the local industry comprised Orchards. Yes it all started with the military and ‘tech’ but other industries were not dominant, say like Banking in NYC, Oil, Gas and Insurance in Houston, Movies in LA … Tech found its place in new and fertile pastures. This is particularly important when you get to a country like New Zealand where any tech business is going to be competing with other already dominant industries, such as (in the case of New Zealand), Dairy, Lumber and Tourism.\nThe parallels to why large corporations have a hard time with ‘innovation’ are clear. (This is a larger topic that I will come back to in another post.)\n9) History and Legacy The First documented ‘VC’ arrived around 1946 - Arthur Rock moved to Palo Alto in 1961 and set up the first fund\nIn ‘the valley’, VCs have been a known quantity for a long time. These days VCs and Private Equity are in common usage around the world, bit even twenty years ago that was not the case. , they are a known quantity. In the rest of the world, there\nThese VCs started their companies and first funds in the 60s\n- Mayfield - Morgenthaler - Sutter Hill Ventures - Fidelity - Greylock - Venrock   Keep It In The Family Just consider one family dynasty … the Drapers - and I\u0026rsquo;m not talking Don Draper\n- Bill Draper II set up Draper, Gaither and Anderson in **1959** and Draper and Johnson in **1962**. - His son - Bill Draper III founded Sutter Hill Ventures in **1965**. - His son - Tim Draper - the ‘Draper’ that most people talk about started what was to become DFJ in **1985** - His son - Adam Draper started his fund specializing in Blockchain and Crypto in **2012**.  It would be interesting to learn if there are any other families as steeped in VC anywhere in the world, but particulalrly outside of The Valley.\n About Those Tech Centers If you are interested in those tech centers, there’s\n- Silicon Glen in Scotland - Silicon Fens in East Anglia, UK - Silicon Alley in New York - Silicon Roundabout in London - Silicon Wadi in Israel - Silicon Mountain in The Cameroon - Silicon Oasis in Dubai  … well, you get the drift. If you have an interest Wikipedia has a very long list of Global Tech Centers, though they aren’t all called Silicon xxx - thank god!\n What thoughts do you have?\n",

    "text": " This post emerged from @oddevan who posted this;\nSo on Twitter I got a lot of news by osmosis. Anyone have any Micro.blog or fediverse accounts they recommend on that front? Or should I just start curating my Apple News again?\nI don’t want to be as angry as Twitter could make me, but I do want to keep an eye on things.\nEvan Hildreth https://status.oddevan.com/2023/02/11/so-on-twitter.html I started writing yet another long reply and thought ’STOP’. This needs to be a post in its own right … because I wanted to broaden the topic into a more general ‘finding news sources’, because I personally never found Twitter to be useful in bubbling up good news stories that I wasn’t already aware of, The Fediverse is better, but there is so much more.\nFirst - What Is News I have a view that ‘news’ per se is an homogenous commodity. No differentiation. It is what it is. Balloon blown out of the sky, earthquake the other side of the world, lay-offs in America … it all gets reported, by ‘all’ … assuming it is important enough. Of course, the ‘rabid dog bites postman’ story in the village 5 miles away might not reach the NYT until that story is repeated 10,000 times across the world and then the NYT comes out with the story ‘what’s up with all these rabid dogs’ ….\nSo job 1 .. decide WHAT kind of news you want. I for example am very interested in music, so in my feed (I’ll come to that later) I have a number of publications that stream news about music. Same for tech, business, politics, environment, books …..\nI also happen to think that paying for THAT part of the news is a non starter. Why pay if everybody has it, unless it is so niche and specific that they don’t.\nOpinion That said, commentary and opinion around that news is where value can be found. That comes from all kinds of organizations and people … none of which do not have an axe to grind. As such the commentary of writers like (say) Pilger and Hedges on (say) Assange is going to be very different to that of (say) Brooks and Will.\nSo … Recommendations really come down to not just your interests - but your taste, your predilections even things like your geography - which makes it hard.\nI would agree with @odd 100% and like him, I use a **feed reader **- and like him - Feedbin with NetNewsWire. The sources and organization of the feeds have been built up over many years - and because it is using RSS and Feedbin are good people, I can move my feeds to somewhere totally different with very little effort.\nIf you are just starting out I can highly recommend Feedland that you will find here though at the moment, you can’t sign up because @dave is making changes at the backend - and removing twitter dependance - but you don’t need to sign on to get the value …\nFor example\n You can see the feeds I follow in Feedland here The most recent items from all feeds subscribed to by everyone. The 100 most popular feeds in FeedLand. and The most recent items from feeds in the Hotlist. - which as a registered user, you can just click the check box and your Feedland account is following. A post from Dave that provides some context around that link  I am not fully into Feedland for all kinds of reasons, but I love the thinking going on. Really hoping that people will start picking up on what is going on over there.\nI hope this helps.\nThere is another post I just published called My Knowledge Stack that you might also find useful.\n",

    "text": " Another post that started life as a reply - and then got longer - and then seemed to have added general applicability. So \u0026hellip;\nIn the hope that this might help (at least) @moonmehta who wrote on microblog \u0026hellip;\nCalling all infovores: What is your Web reading stack? I want to improve and optimize what I consume. Here’s my toolset for Discovery, Queuing, and Absorption:\n Feedbin RSS + Newsletter reader Instapaper, plus its Kindle delivery Kagi search Raindrop bookmarking Orion browser  Jatan https://web.jatan.space/2023/02/15/calling-all-infovores.html  This is best answered by revealing one screen on my iPad mini.\nThe apps are in no particular order, though roughly from top left to bottom right in terms of regularity of use (Gluon/MicroBlog aside).\nI don’t typically have alerts and notifications on to pull me in unwanted directions.\nAs I read (and listen) to whatever it is, various options;\n just move on - a LOT a quote grabs me - Readwise the article is a little too long for that moment or needs focus - Reader. a link that needs looking at - it MIGHT get saved to Reader - OR to Drafts.  Reader because I want to read in more detail Drafts if I already have an idea of how that link is going to be used    Raindrop is there - but it is on the way out.\nFor processing I run through new Drafts and push out into various spaces. If you note the time stamps on my posts (because of course - that IS what you do … right?), you will find a few might arrive very quickly as I bulk process my Drafts.\nWhen I have a quite longer moment to really read, I open up Reader and start - maybe highlighting, or sharing, or commenting … tag and archive OR delete completely. (Trying to make sure that my Readwise doesn’t end up like my Instapaper - which you will also see on that screen shot - but actually I open every blue moon or so.)\nHope that helps.\nA Related Post On Finding News\n",

    "title": "Why ChatGPT Will Change the World, Lower Your Fees BUT NOT Raise Your Revenue (Unless You Differentiate)",
    "text": "Shel Israel writes : 🔗 How ChatGPT Will Change the World, Lower My Fees and Raise My Revenue\nI get what he is saying - except I don’t.\nHis argument centers on his unit price dropping - but he will write more.\nBack of an envelope calculations. Let’s say he increases his output ten fold and reduces his price by EIGHTY PERCENT.\nThis would double his revenue. All good nay … all great!\nBut if this works - he isn’t the only writer that will do this.\nAnd if that changes broadly across the writing industry, that 80% will likely have to fall further - unless there is substantial differentiation.\nThe differentiation will vary - but will become essential. (It\u0026rsquo;s essential now - but that\u0026rsquo;s a different story.)\nPeople that write ‘content’ have a problem.\nThe problem is that if you write content - how do you differentiate?\nI’ve written about it before here and here and here and here and … well - you get the picture.\nThis is why for the longest time I keep repeating (sorry - I am going to have to quote myself) … though Will Arnett at least has caught on and so has Chris Lockhead\n Content is a horrible, generic, cheap, anything will do kind of word. Which is why ‘content has no value. It is in the best interests of buyers of our sweat, labour, thought and time to keep price down. But our costs are not kept down. So our earnings suffer. And they are suffering badly.\n Job One - Stop making content.\nJob Two - Start writing blogs, articles, white papers, posts, scripts, essays \u0026hellip;\n The ultimate oxymoron: Strategic Content\n ",

    "text": " Sometimes you need to tell a story just to get it out there. Because otherwise you really would think that you were actually living in a Kafka novel.\nThe Bank Just opened a new bank account. First time inside a bank branch for years. Such a depressing place. Now I remember why I stopped going to them.\nThe DMV A clue as to how depressing that bank branch was … the next stop was the DMV and the feeling was comparatively joyous and then over the next 2 hours, well, not so much. Slowly I felt my life ebbing away.\nTurns out that the DMV is a 20 minute drive from the bank … 20 minutes, added to the expected half hour wait in line was going to absorb too much of my time, so a quick check of their web site and a minute later I had booked myself a slot. I needed to be there in 25 minutes … perfect timing and already 30 minutes ahead of the curve.\nExcept of course, my passenger was Murphy.\nL.A. = Traffic. The 20 minute drive took 26 minutes. Appointment missed by 1 minute.\nBUT …\nMy number was still on the board - so I dutifully stood in my line of 1 waiting for the lady who slipped in front of me to complete her business.\nI finally got to the counter and the DMV guy looked at me.\n… “can I help you?”\nI explained .. to the increasingly blank stare.\nApparently I had lost my place and needed to get a new number.\n“But the number is still …”\n“You need to get a new number.”\nPointing towards a line at the front of the office.\nI start again.\nI walk to the line of 4 people. I can fix that. I jump onto the web site like earlier, got a new number and sat down. Another 20 minutes apparently. Still - better than the half hour I had thought.\n15 minutes later (under promise - over deliver) I am being served. First question …. can they have my application form?\nConfused … sorry … what application form? … nobody told me about an application form.\nThe lady points me over to a new part of the building … where you go to ‘fill in your form’. I walk over. According to the sign, you can’t take cell phones into that part of the building. So where can I leave it I asked someone standing near me who ‘looked official’.\nNo idea … I should go talk to ‘someone at the counter’.\nI move to the counter.\n\u0026ldquo;Go to terminal 18, complete the application, take a picture of my confirmation number …and then get a new line number.\u0026quot;\nBut, the sign says ”no phon .. “\n“Oh - just ignore that …”\nI completed the form, got the confirmation number and didn’t even bother to go to the line to get my new number. I just hopped on to the web app … but clearly, they were on to me.\nThis service is currently unavailable to you.\nTo me? Not ‘generally unavailable’. But unavailable to me.\nI move across to the ‘line’ waiting to get their number, stand behind the one person who was in the process of wrestling with the machine. (Does 1 person constitute a line?)\nMy turn. I follow the instructions. ‘Computer say no’. It is clearly in cahoots with the web app … ‘this service is currently unavailable to you.’\nI clearly had made a mistake. I mean this is where you get your number. I tried again.\n‘This service is currently unavailable to you.’\nI looked around and seeing nobody ‘looking official’ - wandered back to the lady that told me to fill in my application and take a photo of the confirmation number with my phone - that the sign clearly said I was not allowed to have with me. She clearly understands how to bypass the system.\n\u0026ldquo;Have you completed the form?\u0026quot;\nI showed her my confirmation number on my illicit phone.\n\u0026ldquo;Ok - you need to get your number from ‘over there'.\u0026quot; … pointing to a totally different place to where I had been trying to get my number.\nI looked and in the distance there was yet another counter with a line and a very nice sign above it that read ’Start Here’.\n\u0026ldquo;But, but … I’m not ‘starting’ I’ve been here …\u0026quot;\n\u0026ldquo;Just go there sir.\u0026quot;\nI did as I was told and got into the line behind 4 people who were clearly ‘ready to start’.\nOne was served.\nThen the next.\nThen the next.\nThen the next.\nThis is great - I am clearly the next, failing to observe how a second line had built up in parallel to mine - and as I moved forward towards the counter - the hand was raised - and as deftly as any traffic cop I have seen in the streets, the person from the front of the other line was waived forward.\nI stood back. I waited.\nAnd then it was my turn. Even though there were still two people in this mysterious second line - they clearly would have to wait.\n\u0026ldquo;Have you completed your application form?\u0026quot;\n\u0026ldquo;Yes.\u0026quot;\n\u0026ldquo;Can you show me your confirmation number?’\nI dutifully obliged - at which point the gentleman played that Keyboard as if he had a full orchestra behind him and was performing a Rachmaninoff piano concerto.\nA whirring noise emanated from the printer and … no - of course there was no printer, it was just a whirring noise. Meanwhile, ‘my man’ carefully transcribed a number that was displayed on his screen to a form in front of him and with a final flourish handed said form over to yours truly, as he did so said, \u0026ldquo;take a seat and wait until your number is called.\u0026quot;\nI looked at my number and up at the screen - only two in front - great.\nI sat down and shortly, the numbers moved - I was next.\nIt was then that a totally different number was called. And then a different number again. And then once more. My sequence was clearly no longer part of the sequence.\nUntil it was.\nThe number was finally called and I presented myself at the desk to finally solve for the problem I had come to solve.\nThe process of renewing was relatively uneventful, although I do need to make an observation.\n1) Life is currently running through a series of challenges and changes, with one being that I am not currently of any fixed abode.\n  “What is your address?” I give them my ‘official, paperwork supported’ address.\n  “Is this where you want us to send your license to?” \u0026hellip; no it isn’t actually. As you can see that address is in NorCal - I am living in LA at the moment - can you send it to an address in LA?\n  We can indeed. I give them the information.\n  All good - until this zinger.\n  You should know that the address we send the license to is the address that will be printed on your license.\n  Seriously? Apparently, yes.\n  So, for the next ten years my license will have the address of my friends house on it. An address that the DMV are not validating in any way has anything to do with me, other than this is where they are sending the license. Meanwhile, my official, fully validated address will - to all intents and purposes - be ignored.\n  2) I wanted to get the RealID option on the license. Not yet absolutely necessary, but wanted to get ahead of the curve and it makes in country flight identification a lot easier.\n  Yeah no\n  You need bills, statements and the like to ‘prove who you are’ - and of course the address they want to use is the address where they are sending the license - not the official address that they have in their system.\n  Clearly, I have no paperwork for that address.\n  C\u0026rsquo;est la vie. Another day.\nBut, eye test, payment, no questions as to why my license had been expired for the last 6 months, All this was pretty smooth.\nI am given two pieces of paper, temporary license and receipt and told to ‘go over there’ and show them my receipt.\n”Where? Exactly?”\nOver there. Pointing at the desk with the lady who knows how to bypass the system,\nThank you I said - and moved towards the counter on the other side of the cavern offices.\nOn arrival, I was given a quizzical look..\n”They sent me here and told me that I had to show you my receipt.”\n”Oh not me.”\n”There” - pointing to a desk that until this point in time I had not been aware of.\nI move on and another lady asks for my receipt.\nI hand it over.\nMy thumb print is required. Again? Hadn’t the other lady just done that as I went through the renewal process?\nMore orchestra and told to stand back. I obliged.\n”In from of the camera.”\nOh … that’s what is going on. Got it.\n“Is this all you have?”\n“Excuse me?”\n“Is this it.

    "title": "Setting Categories Automatically On MicroBlog",
    "text": "It’s interesting how small things mess you up. I am putting some time into trying to make it easier to find stuff on my blog and recently discovered filters where you can “automatically set categories when text in new posts matches a filter”.\nFor new posts it seems to work flawlessly. The cool thing is that you can ‘Run Filter’ - which essentially means that it will go off and apply that rule to your archive. It works.\nOf course if you have a lot of posts (sorry), it might take some time - but it does seem to get there. So. after a while, when I view the categories I can see the post count increasing. And - when I look at the posts through the lens of Mars Edit I can see all the new posts where the category has been applied.\nAll good. UNTIL. I noticed that though every thing SEEMED to be working - actually, over on the web site, the categories were not being allocated. Turns out patience is a virtue - because after several days (I kid you not) elapsed, it seemed that everything was also working on the site. All good.\n( @manton - is this time delay expected behavior?)\nAll good until I set up the filter to\nfind text = ‘youtube.com/watch' and add that post to the category ‘myyoutubes’.\nThe wait aside, it ran like a dream. Except it didn’t. I realized that posts that definitely contained links back to YouTube were not being picked up. I ran the filter again - and waited. TWICE. Nothing changed.\nThis morning I discovered why.\nTurns out that there is a second URL format that YouTube uses … youtu.be\nI am guessing that the youtube syntax varies depending on whether you are on a computer versus iOS or something similar. Anyway, I then set up a second filter that adds the post to the same category - and … it is now working (wait aside)\n BTW, the really cool thing is that I also use the plugin ‘Lite YouTube for Micro.blog by @rknightuk - so those links automatically render as embedded videos on my site. 🖇️ Say, like this one - which at time of typing still hasn’t been correctly allocated its category - but I am keeping an eye on it.\n",

    "text": "🎵 Despite my initial resistance to the 500 song podcast narrated by 🔗 Andrew Hickey .. I am now moving into my third … first ‘The Monkees’, then ‘Love’, now ‘The Move’. The depth of information flying through the speakers is really quite incredible - thoroughly researched, packed with information - some of which I know - a lot I don’t.\nA particular speciality of his is identifying groups that todays’ mega stars played with in the very early days. Examples like when Albert Lee played with Hendrix and Jim Morrison wishing he and The Doors were as good as Love. Or how Graeme Edge and John Bonham both played in the same band - sorry, cant recall who replaced who … and and and … fascinating - and NOT information that is on \u0026lsquo;the wiki\u0026rsquo;.\nSo - I did some prodding around to work out who Hickey is - assuming he must have been a music journalist at some point - but no. At least not that I could find. He seems to be a relatively ‘unknown’ creator who writes books and does podcasts.\nInteresting that in the search, I came across this review of his podcast : Pismotality: A History of Rock Music in 500 Songs that has one comment - from Andrew Hickey. He spends a little time talking about his accent and deadpan delivery \u0026hellip; something I referenced in my first post on him, and it turns out there is a reason.\nAnyway - suffice to say - if you love rock and related music genre and want to learn more - particularly about the genesis of the \u0026lsquo;names\u0026rsquo; - highly recommend.\n🎙️ The Podcast\n",

It\u0026rsquo;s how the social world works, its how places like micro blog work - and it makes sense. You go to that person\u0026rsquo;s blog and you find the very latest thoughts right there at the top of the page.\nI know that it is not only one way to organize your thinking - but if we also tag, categorize, highlight posts we want to share more and and and \u0026hellip; anything else that you may want to use - it all helps - but no single process works because you don’t know what the person visiting your blog is looking for - so you can\u0026rsquo;t organize in anticipation.\nStreams controlled by algorithms or selectively highlight just part of \u0026lsquo;the hose\u0026rsquo; or offer no other way to get at the thinking - yeah - not good. But as a first port of call - I cant see a way to improve - until we all have our own person AI that can make sense of our blathering - no point in me asking - hopefully someone will listen to Dave:)\n// @dave @benwerd\n",

    "title": "🎵 Is The Eurovision Song Contest Designed To Be An 'Equal Opportunity' Employer?",
    "text": "That is the only thing I can think of that created the news that caused me to write this post!\nThis is nothing like a PiL track. It is also nothing like a John Lydon track. That said,\n “Public Image Ltd. (PiL) have been selected for the 67th annual Eurovision Song Contest airing on February 3. The band will represent Ireland with their new single ‘Hawaii.’.”\n The NME and American Songwriter are both ‘kind of saying’ that;\nPublic Image Ltd are representing Ireland in the next Eurovision song contest. ‘kind of’ because i THINK that there is an Irish ‘run off’ in February before the final decision to compete in May(?) This article is one of many providing a little back story to the song.\n The song … is a love letter to Lydon’s wife. Nora Forster, Lydon’s wife of nearly 45 years (who) was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease in 2018.\n It goes on ..\n “A deeply personal track for Lydon, ‘Hawaii’ is sobering reflection of the couple’s life together. The song is punctuated by one of their most special memories, a trip they once took together. Some begin again / We’re here / You and me … Remember me / I remember you / Hawaii. Written by Lydon, “Hawaii” professes the power of love through the good and the most traumatic of times.\n All good. No problem. Sorry to read about his wife’s diagnosis. The song is nice enough - though to these untrained ears a little schmaltzy - if not to say ‘derivative’ - as in ever since Elvis went to Hawaii, songwriters have been picking up their instruments and writing yet another song about Hawaii. John is no different.\nBut here’s the thing\n1] Lydon was born in London. Yes to Irish parents (and holds an Irish passport) but he also has American citizenship and is on record as saying “I view myself as British first and foremost.”\nLet me take you back to Eurovision ’81. The winner? Buck’s Fizz, with a song called ‘Making Your Mind Up’ .. maybe John should acquaint himself with a little Eurovision history and decide who he is.\n2] An entire song called Hawaii - whoever thought of doing that … oh wait - to represent IRELAND - the home of some of the greatest writers and musicians in the world. Is there really not a real Irish choice?\nFun fact - Ireland is the ONLY entry ever to win the competition twice with the same singer songwriter - not only that,he wrote a third song … that also won.\n3] The chintzy Hawaiian sound does a massive disservice to the real music that emerges from those islands.\nJust on Maui … there are superb professional musicians that I know, including;\n🔸 Randall Rospond\n🔸 Tom Conway\n🔸 Gail Swanson\n🔸 Jamie Gallo (sorry - Facebook link)\n🔸 Vince Esquire\n🔸 Kanekoa\nNot to mention Alana Cini, Joel Katz, Peter Kater, Chris Sendrey, John Grover and so many others I know and love - and even that list doesn’t include even more famous musical residents like\n🔸 Willie Nelson\n🔸 Lukas Nelson\n🔸 Alice Cooper\n🔸 Mick Fleetwood\n🔸 Lily Meola\n🔸 Steven Tyler\n🔸 Kris Kristoferson (I think - he certainly used to.)\nNone of them … NONE .. produce music that the world associates with that Hawaiian sound. Even a ‘Ukulele band like Kanekoa play their Ukuleles less like Tiny Tim and more like well - Led Zeppelin.\nKanekoa : Going to California\nLed Zeppelin : Going to California - \nI don’t dislike his song - but I really hope somebody Irish with Irish music wins the chance to represent their country and that yet another piece of misappropriated Hawaiiana is stopped from taking the world by storm.\n",

I didn’t grab the camera in time, but I did for this one.\nUsually people wander around and all over the grass. Since the path was cut, so many people are just following it … which is odd when you think how many paths are out there that people routinely ignore.\n",

    "text": "There has been a lot of traffic on Micro Blog about ‘like’ buttons - as in should there be one? Some of those conversations have been repackaged and moved into other places - like this one from Dave Winer.\nThe challenge is that writers tend to see the like as a ‘nod’ of agreement with what they have written .. or at least as some kind of feedback …\n “In real life there’s all kinds of non-verbal communication. you can nod your head, smile. We’ve come up with a similar language online, I don’t think there’s any more meaning in this. We’re being human. Not a huge surprise.”\n 💬 Dave Winer\nI’m not so sure. I am far from consistent as to how I use likes and I am guessing I am not alone. BUT … But the point of this post is not to provide a counter argument - but rather highlight the inadequacy of the like button a measure of popularity.\nYou won’t have missed yesterday’s news of the passing of Jeff Beck.\nPatti Smith used her newsletter to share the news and a link to just one example of Beck’s extraordinary guitar playing.\nAs of this morning she has 326 likes and 59 comments …. it is clear from the comments the sentiment - but the likes?\nWhat are they liking?\n The news he is dead? The track from ‘Amused to Death’? That the ‘liker’ is flagging their solidarity with her and Roger’s position on Palestine? The fact she posted something - and they are bookmarking ‘seen’? They just ‘auto like’ everything - and haven’t even read it? Because even Readwise users, who you would have thought actually did … well … read! … don’t.  To be clear, I have no horse in the race. IF [@manton](https://micro.blog/manton) added like buttons here -\n it wont be the end of the world i bet whether they are enabled will be under my control  Back to Jeff … one of the best comments was a simple\n💔\n",

His latest film, The French Dispatch, is a love letter certainly—to journalism, to writers, to art in general and filmmaking specifically—and rather than change or adapt in the way some want to see, he gloriously doubles down on his style, making for his most maximalist, hyper-imaginative film yet.”\n",

    "text": "Music was my first love and it will be my last. Music of the future and music of the past. To live without my music would be impossible to do. In this world of troubles, my music pulls me through.\n💬 John Miles\n🎶🎵Interesting to see the albums that appear roughly daily in Matt Birchtree’s feed where he celebrates a different album each day. So far, I am personally not inspired - but that is the beauty of music. It is all different. We are all different.\nIt might also be that there just isn’t enough context around a post to make me think why I should be bothered - particularly when on the whole - the artists he posts that I do know, just ‘don’t do it ‘ for me. All good. I know it’s me — BUT\nI do think this quote needs refinement.\n “I love music, and even at the stage in life where most people seem to listen to the same artists they did when they were decades younger, I\u0026rsquo;m still prowling the new releases every week to see what\u0026rsquo;s new. I\u0026rsquo;m obsessed with music.”\n 💬 Matt Birchtree\n\u0026lsquo;What\u0026rsquo;s New\u0026rsquo; can\u0026rsquo;t come from an established artist?\nSurely it depends on the artist and what they are producing?\nI would agree that there are people who hit a formula and then repeat over and over and are really un interesting - and then there are others who keep evolving … keep changing … refusing to fall into that trap, to pick on a few \u0026hellip;.\n  Pink Floyd in their early days refused to play their hits like Emily Play and Arnold Layne in their concerts (though \u0026lsquo;Saucerful of Secrets\u0026rsquo; doesn’t seem to have imposed that limitation on themselves!)\n  The Arctic Monkeys open up concerts with brand new music that the audience will never have heard.\n  Neil Young and Brian Eno are both famous for their position of refusing to talk about their music from the past.\n  Most importantly - if you never listen to music from artists that have been around - you\u0026rsquo;d never have heard Bowie\u0026rsquo;s Blackstar.\n I would also argue that a true music aficionado would explore the roots of music. When you listen to real musicians talk, to understand their influences, their history - WOW. To trace the roots of how artists get to where they are is fascinating.\n For my part, I am building a few lists in Album Whale that I hope might provide insight into the music I like - and how I came across it \u0026hellip; it’s a different spin on \u0026lsquo;best of\u0026rsquo; \u0026hellip; and more to do with the interconnectedness and relationships in music - and me. When they are ready I will be back.\n",

    "text": "If you don’t live in New Zealand, you might not know the name Bernard Hickey. Hell - I live here - and didn\u0026rsquo;t know him until I stumbled over his writing in Substack. But when I speak to \u0026lsquo;locals in the know\u0026rsquo; - he is definitely known.\nWe had some elections in New Zealand recently, and one winner was a gentleman called Wayne Brown - he is the new mayor of Auckland. At the time he was received positively. Overall still is as far as I can tell. Businessman moves into politics to \u0026lsquo;get things done\u0026rsquo; wasn’t his tag line - but probably because it was too long! At this stage, I couldn\u0026rsquo;t honestly tell you whether I am for him or against him - I am just not that well versed in local politics, but it is fascinating to read something like this to get a deep down drill into what might(?) be going on. Bernard is definitely not pulling his punches. (I do get the impression that he doesn\u0026rsquo;t usually!).\n The Original Article\n TL;DR \u0026hellip; Wayne wants to sell Auckland city\u0026rsquo;s stake in the airport \u0026hellip; Bernard is asking why he doesn’t sell off some of the gold courses - it might just have the same short term effect - and seems to have a better long term outcome.\nIf you want to get a feel for the substance of the article \u0026hellip;. here are some of the highlights \u0026hellip;.\n  However, I think it’s simpler than that. Wayne Brown is actually simply expressing a view held by most asset owners and investors in Aotearoa-NZ’s economy, or as I call it, a housing market with bits tacked on.\n  That deeply held and and so-far-extremely-profitable investment strategy is that owning shares or investing in businesses in Aotearoa is vastly inferior to owning land, especially leveraged residential land, and even better if it is residential-zoned land that remains banked and undeveloped.\n  Wayne Brown is being exactly what he is: a property developer who has actually made most of his personal money from land price appreciation on land made valuable through rezoning and paying for water connections at a lower-than-full cost.\n  Auckland Council’s 600,000 ratepayers are paying the equivalent of $500 for each round played by just over 1% of the ratepayers who are members of the 13 clubs\n  There are a few ways to do this through Government policy, including:\n restricting central and local Government investment in infrastructure reducing council and Government debt to lower interest rates reducing public spending on public transport infrastructure ensuring no introduction of capital-gains or new land value taxes encouraging strong population growth through migration of lower-wage labour    Wayne Brown’s plan to ‘sell the shares and keep the land’ is a perfectly natural instinct for a land banker and is broadly popular with the 60% of households (and more like 80% of local election voters) who own residential land. This policy embeds the settings in our housing market with bits tacked and creates a future where only those with parents able to help with deposits can hope to join or stay in the land-owning class and be able to raise their own families in the land they were born in. The rest can look forward to either a future as permanently poor renters who both pay and serve the land-owning class.\n  The rest who have a few personal resources, such as education, can only aim to emigrate to join the other one million compatriots who work, live and build their families overseas.\n  Warnings about “fiscal holes” and “economic and fiscal storms” are things politicians should be careful about. Former UK PM Liz Truss adopted similar ‘crisis’ language just that a few months ago, triggering a collapse in Government bond prices, which increased UK bond yields and increased British mortgage rates.\n  Would you be worried if you mortgage was costing you less than 10% of your disposable income to service and your Loan to Value Ratio (LVR) was 16%? No.\n  Let that sink in. Auckland Council’s 600,000 ratepayers are paying the equivalent of $500 for each round played by 6,415 of the courses’ members, or just over 1% of ratepayers.\n  So why doesn’t Wayne Brown want to sell the golf courses?\n Selling the courses for residential property develop would increase the effective supply of land for housing in Auckland, which would devalue the value of land already held by landowners who vote in council elections.     I am now going to share this post and newsletter with a few people \u0026lsquo;in the know\u0026rsquo; and see if I can\u0026rsquo;t get some additional commentary and colour.\nMetadata  Author: Bernard Hickey Source: Wayne Brown Should Sell the Golf Courses Instead  More to come\n",

    "title": "Ghost Reader Is Solving A Problem That A Lot of A.I.'s Don't Seem To",
    "text": " A lot of AIs seem to be focussed on how to create. new things, the interesting thing that Readwise is up to is that they are focussed on using AI to better understand what is already there \u0026hellip;.. I think that is an interesting problem to solve.\nGhost Reader, which is definitely NOT Ghost Rider IS definitely interesting.\nI have been playing round a little with it and decided that the best way of describing what it does is with a real world example.\nI do like reading Napkin Math - but don’t always have the time.\nTake a piece that came out this past week. At over 3,000 words it’s a 12 minute read - and THAT is if you get it first time round. I don’t always get it - and on a topic like this - I knew it would be a long job (I am slower than the average bear).\nIt was written by Evan Armstrong who summarized the article thus;\n \u0026ldquo;Over the last few months, I’ve been obsessed with AI—chatting with AI researchers in London, talking product development with startups in Argentina, debating philosophy with AI safety groups in San Francisco.\u0026rdquo;\n Sounds good, So here\u0026rsquo;s what I did.\nEvan\u0026rsquo;s original piece on the site is here.\nI dropped it in to Readwise and then applied Ghost Reader, which took about 20 seconds to come up with the summary. (My bold and line breaks added to help you understand how it broke down the article and make it easier to compare to the original.) AND - if you read the article you will see that my choice of the use case might not exactly be random since Evan actually quotes Readwise Daniel Doyon in item 4 - META!\nAnyway, here\u0026rsquo;s the Ghost Reader summary \u0026hellip;\n \u0026ldquo;The text discusses six micro-theories about how artificial intelligence (AI) will change human society. The first theory is that AI will make it easier for people to create new things. The second theory is that companies will compete more on sales and marketing than on the quality of their AI models. The third theory is that AI will make it easier for people to find and consume custom-generated content. The fourth theory is that AI will amplify existing power law dynamics in the digital media world. The fifth theory is that the most successful AI companies will be those that use AI to make their products more delightful. The sixth and final theory is that AI will enable entirely new modalities of digital interactions.\u0026rdquo;\n Compare Here are my one line extracts coped out of the article\n  Fine-tuned models win battles, foundational models win wars\n  Long-term model differentiation comes from data-generating use cases\n  Open source makes AI startups into consulting shops, not SaaS companies\n  Most endpoints compete on GTM, not AI\n  AI will not disrupt the creator economy, it will only amplify existing power law dynamics\n  Invisible AI will be the most valuable deployment of AI\n  For a 20 second \u0026lsquo;read, analyze, write\u0026rsquo; a 3,000 word article - not a bad start. Not sure I think that it got to all the salient points - I wonder what Daniel and/or Evan think \u0026hellip; but remember - as the article itself points out MOST AIs appearing are focussed on how to create \u0026hellip; the interesting thing that Readwise is up to is that they are focussed on using AI to better understand what is already there \u0026hellip;.. and they are only just now getting going.\nI think that is an interesting problem to solve.\nWhat do you think?\n",

    "text": " Some context to this post, because it really isn’t just about memory (that’s the back story). It is really setting the scene for what I think will be a series of posts that I will link to from here that is exploring whether Geoffrey Moore’s chasm thinking can be applied to a country. Still not sure it can - but we will see as the journey unfolds.\nIn a different life I spent a year as a trainee Chartered Accountant and in the first course I attended I learnt the rudiments of double entry book keeping. You know the drill\u0026hellip; debit on the left, credit on the right \u0026hellip; Except I was taught that ‘debit is on the side nearest the window’. At the time it made perfect sense, except of course it didn’t if I moved to a room where the window was on my right!\n‘Don’t worry’ said the instructor, ‘I’ve got your back. When thinking of debits and credits, you will always think of this room.’ And you know what? He was right.\nMuch as older people might remember where they were when Kennedy was shot, or when those astronauts landed on the moon and younger ones recalling where they were when the Twin Towers in NYC were attacked, I - and I suspect others in my basic accounting class - will always remember that room.\nAnother room that has stuck in my memory is when I first met Geoffrey Moore. It was at the end of 1991/beginning of 1992 … in a funny little meeting room in Redwood City in Northern California. Despite moving in to the first of \u0026lsquo;the towers\u0026rsquo; in 1989, a lot of the company was \u0026lsquo;elsewhere\u0026rsquo; at the time - and a bunch of marketing wonks hanging with Geoffrey - well clearly that wasn’t important enough to be in the \u0026lsquo;shiny tower\u0026rsquo;.\nGeoffrey was talking about his new book ‘Crossing The Chasm’ and it’s applicability to Oracle - at the time, there was strong argument that Oracle was well over the chasm … but that didn’t mean some of the products in the portfolio were.\nIt’s funny how memory works. I can still see that dark miserable room in my mind\u0026rsquo;s eye. I can only remember a couple of other people attending the session - but at least that is a couple of people more than I remember in my accounting class!\nBy the way this podcast from Malcolm Gladwell is a great listen around this very topic. Highly recommend.\nAnyway, ’Chasm’ is a book that rapidly became the ‘bible’ for software marketeers. You might not have read the first edition, but maybe the second? The third? That last revision was in 2014 and by then, though the subject matter was still firmly grounded in software, it has become one of those classic marketing texts that has crossed the boundaries into other markets.\nSo why am I writing about this thirty years later?\nEasy … I have been talking to a lot of people and companies down here in New Zealand ( a lot ) and have come to the conclusion that the country of New Zealand is pre chasm. (To be clear, being ‘pre-chasm’ is not a bad thing, what’s bad is that if you are and don’t recognize it.)\nBut even before I get to that dicussion, I was wondering if anybody had thought this way. (Applying ‘chasm thinking’ to a country that is.)\nSo I checked in with Geoff and asked …\n Are you aware of anybody that has taken your Chasm work and applied it to an entire country? I know it’s a leading question - but the more I think about it, the more I wonder if your work could be applied to a country and not just to a company and if it could - has anyone done it?\n And almost by return, he wrote a long email which contained this nugget …\n “Technologies, products, platforms — why not countries? The whole point of the model is how social systems negotiate disruptive innovations. The question is, whether New Zealand a disruptive innovation, or are we talking about New Zealand as a social system that will process a disruptive innovation? If the latter, then what is the disruptive innovation to be processed? Once we answer those questions, we can proceed.”\n 💬 Geoffrey Moore\nI haven’t yet answered the question - that is kind of what the series of posts is about, but my starting position is to think of \u0026lsquo;New Zealand as a social system that will process a disruptive innovation\u0026rsquo;.\nBack to my drafts.\n",

Details needed to be nailed down.\n  Four contracts? I knew about the transformation contract, but as for the other three … I had no idea what she was talking about. What else had she found?\n  Color me intrigued.\n  Of course I called her back and she dived in head first, at her usual ra ta tat tat machine gun conversational speed … and I listened - I mean what was my choice!\n .. and to find out what happened then \u0026hellip; well we have a podcast for that \u0026hellip; a short one mind you \u0026hellip; 6 minutes and 41 seconds.\n",

    "title": "Podcasts. You Need A Player AND Something To Listen To.",
    "text": "Interesting that it isn’t just Mastodon that seems to be in sudden growth mode. The Mastodon questions relating to \u0026lsquo;how to get started\u0026rsquo; and \u0026lsquo;who to follow\u0026rsquo; are just as applicable to Podcasts - even though they are much more established. That said, it is clear that even for the long time listener, checking in and making sure that once you have found the best stuff to listen (often by asking around) that you have the best stuff to listen to it on!\nThis post then is my contribution to answering;\n🔸 What is the best app? 🔸 Which podcasts should I follow and why?\nCaveat - I am an Apple ecosystem person - so my podcast player recommendations MIGHT not be available on your platform of choice. Sorry.\nWhich Player As an Apple user, you might expect me to use the Apple player and you would be wrong. Every now and then I do revisit Apple’s core apps to make sure I have a good reason to be outside of their ecosystem. I last checked the Apple podcast world 3 months ago. NOPE.\nNot to say it isn’t a good app - its just that it doesn’t work for me and this is primarily because I follow to a LOT of podcasts and listen to very few of them. As a result, I need an easy mechanism to find, categorize, triage, organize and listen.\nThere are few apps that I haven\u0026rsquo;t downloaded, most don’t work for me (or more accurately, they don’t offer enough to make me want to switch). They might work for you - all good, this isn\u0026rsquo;y the kind of piece to get into that debate.\nThis is what I use and why it specifically works for me.\nI have used Castro for a long time. It really is a wonderful app and I would not knock it. Castro and Marco Arment’s Overcast are the two podcast apps that I kept coming back to when I looked outside of Apple. When I first explored podcast apps beyond Apple, I tried them both. Castro won out. I just couldn’t get my head around the way Overcast worked. Castro in comparison was very intuitive. Why relearn when what you have works?\nAnd then 3 months ago that all changed. As I referenced above, I do explore app alternatives from time. Changes had been made to the Apple app - so i explored and hadn’t realized that Overcast had itself been through a massive redesign.\nOh my.\nThe Apple changes were good - but nothing that helped me. BUT Overcast won out and I have been using it ever since. This is why.\nI subscribe to over 100 podcasts (don’t judge me) and generally listen to a podcast for somewhere between 30 and 90 minutes each day. It does get over 90 minutes from time to time - mainly depending on what else is going on in my life. Clearly there is lot that I follow and don’t listen to. So as I wrote above when looking at a podcast app, find, categorize, triage, organize and listen are all important functions.\nMy Process   Every single podcast I follow is categorized into one or more place … ‘tech’, ‘politics’, ‘bbc and npr’, ‘humour’, ‘music’ … you get the picture.\n  As part of my morning ‘feed catchup’ i triage all the new arrivals and delete anything I know I won\u0026rsquo;t be even thinking about listening to.\n  When I am ready to listen - the category filter helps me do an initial narrow down and then I choose from within.\n  Resultant Benefits for me. (Your mileage may vary) 🔸 Very intuitive 🔸 Fast and efficient triage 🔸 Synching across multiple devices 🔸 Their app even works on the Mac 🔸 The Ability to categorize to quickly choose \u0026lsquo;the tone\u0026rsquo;.\nThe Unique Controls in Settings I won\u0026rsquo;t go into - suffice to say, the possible refinements of what you MIGHT choose to do is extraordinary - but were I to tell you that I have not changed one setting - you would know that this app is very much in synch with how I think.\nThrough all of this you will notice I have made no mention of speeding up / slowing down podcasts (which is possible in most players) - because I don’t do it, even with the sheer number of shows I triage. I was tempted once, tried it, didn’t like, never bothered again. To me, it is similar to reading a book’s cliff notes and assuming you have read the book.\nWhat I Listen To At any given moment I might have up to 40 unplayed podcasts in the queue. (Right now I am at 21, I know because I just counted. In fact - well - here they are.)\nSome shows I simply have the latest version of ready to go if I feel inpired \u0026hellip; No Such Thing, The Gist, John Hodgman being good examples.\nOther shows, like Zane Lowe and Rockentours might have multiple episodes - because I really want to hear the guest. Example below - note that Zane Lowe has two shows in the hopper, Chris Lockhead has THREE. But - will I really get round to listening nearly 5 hours of Lockhead - just across these three shows - probably not, so over time they wil get removed without listening.\nAnd finally - you will see that two of my twenty one shows are my own podcasts. Yes I do listen to them once they are published and I keep the latest Season in the Inbox for easy discovery if I need a link for someone. Season Three just kicked off - so only two shows so far.\nRecommendations So what shows would I specifically recommend? Well again - the point is what are you interested in? If I knew that, I could be of more help, so I reduced the list to a solid personal 10 - which are in no particular order, but if I know what kind of stuff you like - I probably have a view - with the exception of Sports!\n🔸 Chris Lockhead and Category Pirates - marketing and business 🔸 Rob Long - 15 minutes of delight 🔸 Peter Kafka - media meets technology 🔸 Rockenteurs - a music podcast rom Gary Kemp and Guy Pratt 🔸 Zane Lowe - music 🔸 Sam Harris - for quiet relfection 🔸 John Hodgman - he\u0026rsquo;s just funny 🔸 Ezra Klein - considered thought, good guests 🔸 Mike Pesca - The Gist - a daily \u0026lsquo;news\u0026rsquo; show from an ex PBS presenter 🔸 People First - my own People First podcast\nThat\u0026rsquo;s it - do you have any recommendations and thoughts?\n",

McKuen translated and sang a number of Brel’s songs, and fully rewrote Brel’s song “Le Moribond” as “Seasons in the Sun,” which was recorded by the Kingston Trio. (It would later be a No. 1 hit for the singer Terry Jacks.)\n \u0026hellip; in my mind, Scott Walker and more recently Marc Almond were the two \u0026lsquo;Walker Channelers\u0026rsquo;.

A living post if you will!\nThe genesis of the post is that @dave commented on one of my posts about Feedland suggesting that I publish a post about Feedland here.\nFirst off, I am a big fan of the functionality of Feedland and in awe of how @dave - much like @manton - just keeps delivering enhancements and extensions to his world without the teams of hundreds - if not thousands - that VC backed startups seems to \u0026lsquo;need\u0026rsquo;.\nAs an ex 1999.io user (I was there before MicroBlog properly launched) .. I recognized the interface immediately. There is a style that Dave uses. Not my favorite - but I appreciate the consistency.\nI found it pretty easy to set up Feedland - and it \u0026lsquo;just worked\u0026rsquo;. Since then, there are things I have discovered that would make for an even easier life (at least if you were talking about my life that is).\nI will post thoughts into the comments below in an attempt to keep simple and less \u0026lsquo;rambly\u0026rsquo;.\n",

    "title": "My Speciality ? Generality !",
    "text": "A slightly edited version of a post originally published on February 14th 2016 @ Beyond Bridges, now archived here\nA friend and reader of this blog just sent me this link, which is a third party version of the LinkedIN map below. It seems to be limited due to LinkedIN's API constraints, so it can't map more than 499 of your connections. That said, there does seem to be a lot more information and analysis that surrounds the graph. Andy it means YOU can go try it out on your network. Thank you David.\nA good friend of mine messaged me through LinkedIN. He is a fast thinking, witty, bright, intelligent, big thinking kind of guy. He's also interested in his next gig - so let me know if you want an introduction. Anyway, to my point. He had been on my LinkedIN profile and commented;\n I think you would be well served to pare that list (of skills I had listed in my summary) to maybe 4-5 distinct and specialized areas where you really shine better than the rest. Things like Leadership, Marketing, Communications are too generic and readily available in the marketplace.\n And I agreed. In fact, so much so that I pared it down to zero. My skill list is summarized in another part of the profile anyway. But it got me to thinking.\nI am a big fan of Mike Pesca over at Slate who delivers a daily podcast called The Gist. Try it. You won't regret it. A couple of weeks ago he had Eric Weiner on as a guest, and they spent some time talking about where genius comes from. Turns out that Eric has just written a new book about 'how genius happens'. One of my takeaways was that genius emerges from generalism - not speciality. For example, he talked about the fact that Einstein was not the most knowledgeable physicist of his time, but his value was that he was broad in both interest and knowledge. A 'Renaissance man' if you will. This an absolute opposite to what we live with today. We eschew the 'polymath' in favor of the 'monomath'. From the site Gain Weight Journal;\n Unfortunately, we live in an era of monomaths now. This means specialists. The problem with that is that people get stuck with one way of thinking, they have blinders on, and cannot see the big picture, including the relationships and similarities between different things.\n I know, even our education system is driven to a singular focus and it seems to be getting worse. For myself, I focussed on Maths and Physics in my education from the age of 15. Maybe I was bored. Maybe I could see the future, but despite that formal focus, I did put an effort into ensuring that I didn't get locked up in that world and miss out on everything else that there was to offer. (Though I probably shouldn’t have read all three volumes of Lord of the Rings over a two week period shortly before some year end exams!). Back to the plot. Reading that quote reminded me of what we used to say back in my Group Partner days ... \"The Last Thing You Ever Need Near A Problem Is An Expert\" Good. Because I am not. LinkedIN 'Labs' used to run something that visually mapped your connections so you could see clusters of people in your network. They closed it a while back, but at the time I wrote about it, dubbing it 'Cloud Hopping'. I also observed that most people had a very tight network of very few 'clouds'. This was mine.\nA highly distributed interconnected network, emerging from European and American networks in finance, technology, application and social disciplines. I think Derek was spot on. My strength is not my speciality. My strength is my generality. And, while I would absolutely not describe myself as a genius, I am definitely a cloud hopper. A connector. And there are not many of us around, or at least we tend to keep quiet, because we live in an age where value is placed on 'what you know'. The 'who you know' is almost written off as 'the old boys club' . But once you understand the value of the role that Gladwell calls out in The Tipping Point - the pieces fall into place.\nMy Speciality? Generality!\nI first published this post on Beyond Bridges on February 10th, 2016. That site has gone, the words archived, ",

The formula is that for every person you add to an organisation, the number of potential conversations increases - a lot. If 'n' is the number of people in an organisation, the number of potential conversations is n-1 + n-2 + n-3 .... in other words ... 3 people ... 2 + 1 = 3 4 people ... 3+2+1 = 6 5 people ... 4+3+2+1 = 10 6 people ... 5+4+3+2+1 = 15 And adding 1 person to a 10,000 person organisation adds 10,000 possible new lines of communication.\n",

But baked into that number is $1.1 billion flowing from a change earlier this year that prompted Uber to start recording all the fares it gets in the U.K. as revenue, instead of just the take rates remaining after the company pays its drivers.\n I assume this is because Uber lost the battle in the courts about whether the drivers worked for them or were independent in the UK. So - if they work for them, then the whole ride is revenue. BUT - there will now be a flip side to that, in that there are now a whole lot of expenses on the other side that need to be taken out.\nIs there an accountant in the house that is tracking the shenanigans that is - and seemingly always will be - \u0026lsquo;Uber\u0026rsquo;.\n",

    "text": "In many ways the 1619 Project is focused on unpacking actual history from the American narrative of history.\nMeanwhile, I continue to be bowled over by the story/stories that are emerging in Rachel Maddow\u0026rsquo;s new podcast. I am so often amazed that I jump onto the internet to cross-check what I am hearing but the fact is that though the Ultra Podcast is telling a different story - it is again focused on unpacking history from the American narrative of history.\nUnlike the 1619 project - Maddow\u0026rsquo;s story is much more recent and there are many accounts, news items, photographs and stories just out there for anybody to read and hear. Maddow has just done a great job in connecting the dots - because it is all otherwise \u0026lsquo;hidden in plain sight\u0026rsquo;.\nIt\u0026rsquo;s too obvious to go into the parallels of these stories from the late 30s and early 40s to the more recent stories of the late 10s and early 20s.\nWhat is mind-blowing is that until Maddow came out with this podcast, this whole sad thing was buried, lost and forgotten.\nMy prior posts re Ultra \u0026hellip;\n October 11th October 15th October 19th  ",

I do understand that there are schmucks in those two worlds that makes you wonder how they make a living - but we also know there are bad lawyers, bad accountants, bad doctors \u0026hellip;.\nBut Sales and Marketing? It can’t be that hard … I’ll read up and solve my problem.\nMeanwhile I find that it is tech-oriented people who are particularly flawed when it comes to this kind of ‘thinking’ - and I use that word loosely.\nAnyway - that\u0026rsquo;s all I have to say. Right now I have an app to build this week. It\u0026rsquo;s all worked out. This afternoon I am going read up on java and python. Then tomorrow I will build my prototype. Should be all done by the weekend.\nI mean - it can\u0026rsquo;t be that hard can it?\n",

    "text": "Josh Bershin writes that we are becoming a power skills economy.\n In other words, automation did not eliminate work at all – it created new jobs, better jobs, and an acceleration of our workforce into what we now call the “service economy.” We are essentially shifting to the right in this model.\n 💬 Josh Bershin\nBTW, in case you are wondering, ‘Power Skills’ is the 'new' name for ‘Soft Skills’. To be fair, it did need a new name. It’s also fair to say that whilst he’s not wrong, he fails to mention that in the last 15 years (where he references 2007) no mention that the average income of people is flat and that real income is declining.\nBut that's a different opportunity.\nOh - and maybe not so 'new' Josh was talking about this back in 2019 - and gave us a few clues as to what he was talking about, this is one of his graphics.\nHere's My Take 1) Becoming? I think it is really more like that we are starting to recognize these skills. They have always been there - and though not necessarily recognised or even understood - I bet if you find successful people in that 'old' economy - they would demonstrate a lot of these traits.\n2) Josh is not alone in highlighting these skills and their importance. What nobody is doing is organizing these skills into a taxonomy - much less an ontology. (What's the difference you may ask) Stan Garfield has a very simple explanation)\nTaxonomy Ontology ... except now there is.\nMore of this to come, but have to say, very excited by a company I have been talking to that has not only done a lot of research into these skills, but also which skills are most important - and why, depending on what you are trying to do.\nNot only that, but they are releasing an app that will allow anybody to\n assess their personal strengths and weaknesses across all skills define which of those skills they should focus on to maximise their ability to be most succesful at what they are trying to do all through a self paced, self directed, learning program.  As I said - more to come. Just to say - the cavalry is on its way.\nFeatured Image by Tim Mossholder on Unsplash\n",

And it’s a good thing, because it’s not as if the man has a lot of idle time to spare.\n  Mukherjee, an assistant professor of medicine at Columbia University, an oncologist and a researcher of cancer treatments, is one of those people who appears to have found a glitch to exploit in the space-time continuum. He sees patients, runs a blood cancers research lab, co-parents two children, writes deeply researched features for The New Yorker, helps run four separate biotechnology and health care companies he co-founded, acts as adviser to a half-dozen more, and throws elaborate dinner parties with his wife, the sculptor Sarah Sze, that are a Manhattan byword.\n  Oh, and even as he was completing medical school at Harvard University, he trained as an Indian classical music vocalist. Although he reluctantly relinquished dreams of a parallel career as a singer, he continues to perform with a jazz fusion band.\n  And yet he insists that it is not difficult to make space to write books, exhaustive though they might be: His latest, “The Song of the Cell: An Exploration of Medicine and the New Human,” thuds in at 480 pages. It will be published Oct. 25.\n  Read more at NYT : Siddhartha Mukherjee Weaves History and Biology to Tell the Story of Us.\n",

Wars have been fought over it — Pearl Harbor was a preemptive strike to secure Japanese access to Indonesian oil — and it elevated desert tribes to the ranks of the wealthiest cohorts in history. But the sun has passed midday on oil’s supremacy. We’ve moved from an oil economy to an attention economy.\nWe used to refer to an information economy. But economies are defined by scarcity, not abundance (scarcity = value), and in an age of information abundance, what’s scarce? A: Attention. The scale of the world’s largest companies, the wealth of its richest people, and the power of governments are all rooted in the extraction, monetization, and custody of attention.\"\n Some other phrasing that caught my eye and mind …\n \"If Facebook is Exxon and Netflix Shell, TikTok is fracking king Chesapeake Energy, the rule-breaking insurgent armed with novel extraction methods that threaten the established order.”\n\"everyone is trying to outTik the Tok”\n\"MrBeast … most popular video (is) a real-life reenactment of Squid Game, which cost $3.5 million to produce (the cost of an episode of Mad Men).

I started watching and suddenly realized that it was over 2 1/2 hours long. I saved to \u0026lsquo;watch later\u0026rsquo;! Seriously - watch the first 5 to 10 minutes - you can\u0026rsquo;t just stop and never return \u0026hellip; BUT \u0026hellip; life does have a limited duration!\nI commented on this to my friend \u0026hellip; he responded \u0026hellip;\n I had no idea it was that long! There is not enough alcohol in New Zealand to get you (let alone two of you) through 2.5 hours. This six-minute piece is more than enough to convey Zizek\u0026rsquo;s characteristic mannerisms (mental and physical). And he neatly endorses the critique of \u0026ldquo;the fetishism of action\u0026rdquo; by reversing Marx\u0026rsquo;s 11th thesis on Feuerbach: \u0026ldquo;In the 20th-century we tried to change the world too quickly, it\u0026rsquo;s time to go back to interpreting it.\u0026rdquo; Big Think\n I haven\u0026rsquo;t watched it yet \u0026hellip; still trying to understand my friend\u0026rsquo;s reply 😂\n",

Our message at the time … the website only exists when somebody is visiting it.\nIt lead to some interesting developments and conversations.\nI can still remember one scenario where we envisaged every car having its own website, assembled from thousands of components that each mapped to specific things and functions in the car … this is mid-90s… people didn’t get it.\nAnd then came the DOT BOMB. And oblivion swooped in.\nStill very proud of what ‘we’ built.\nDefinitely ahead of its time \u0026hellip; I mean think about the tools we had in the mid-90s to build this thing!\n",

That’s the problem?\nThe new ‘number 2’ is Nick Clegg\nWikipedia During the party\u0026rsquo;s time in coalition, the Liberal Democrats saw a significant drop in support and the 2015 general election left the party with just 8 seats, which resulted in Clegg\u0026rsquo;s ousting as Deputy Prime Minister and his resignation as party leader. In 2016, following a referendum in which a majority supported leaving the European Union, Clegg returned to the Liberal Democrat frontbench, concurrently serving as Spokesperson for Exiting the European Union and for International Trade from July 2016 to June 2017. In the 2017 general election, Clegg was defeated in his constituency of Sheffield Hallam by Jared O\u0026rsquo;Mara.

It also seems to have pushed Kate back into the limelight.\nKate will turn 64 years old later this month … it is never too late.\nBeyond that, clearly, something else is going on. Detailed below are just three of many more links that I have read recently. Articles by writers I read regularly that each in their own way have latched on to the phenomena.\n  William Gallagher - always a good read gave us; Seeking out strange new worlds, and liking them..\n  Rick Beato - with a 10 a minute breakdown of the original song.\n  The Brisbane choir - always worth a watch have their take on the song.\n  ",

Don\u0026rsquo;t subscribe to too many feeds and periodically go through the list and remove the ones that don\u0026rsquo;t provide value to your life. Avoid feeds that are too busy. Don\u0026rsquo;t subscribe to feeds that push content out on a daily basis. Disable all notifications from your RSS reader. Unread messages counter, email notifications, push notifications—turn everything off. Subscribe to content that is not time-sensitive. Only read and poke around your feeds when you have time to read something and you\u0026rsquo;re in the right mood. RSS is a bit of a relic of another time, when the internet was slower and things were  Source\nFor example, that first thought \u0026hellip; I use folders to manage the feeds that lets me focus on topics I want when I visit.\n",

    "text": "I am sitting in New Zealand writing this. It started as an idea in my head and was typed into a local file on my computer. I copied it to Wordpress (my blog hosting software of choice) and saved a draft to my People First server.\nThe words were then sitting on a server in Iowa, USA.\nFrom this point on, as I edit the draft, I am in New Zealand, the words I am editing are in Iowa - where am I working?\nBy the time you read this post, I will have published and anybody in the world can read it.\nExample, a visitor in Kenya pulls up this web site in their browser and these words are 'automagically' read in Kenya. Question Where is ‘the work’ done?\n New Zealand, because that is where I tapped the original words into the computer? New Zealand, because that is where I cut and paste those words into Wordpress? Iowa, because that is where the People First servers are? Where you are reading this because until those words delivered value (you reading them), no work was done.  I ask because once you know where the work was done, you should have an idea on where you should be taxed and arguably where you should be licensed to work.\nThis conversation doesn’t seem to be a major part of public discourse, because the scenario is an edge case. But for how much longer?\nNew York has a law that says anybody working IN NEW YORK pays New York Taxes and from that emerges things like the NY, NJ and CT tri-state tax agreement.  “Like all states with broad-based income taxes, New York has asserted the right to tax nonresident income earned within its borders. But unlike most other jurisdictions with significant cross-border commuter flows—such as Illinois and Indiana or Virginia and Maryland—New York has never given nonresidents a tax pass in the form of ‘reciprocity’ with their home states.”\n Read More\nBut if my servers are in Iowa, my customers are in Europe, my bank account is in California and I only live in New York, should I pay New York taxes?\nI write more about where we work in this week's newsletter.\n",

    "text": "In 2013, Mark Cameron wrote\n ‘Data is not the new oil, it is the new soil.’\n He concludes;\n \u0026quot;Generating business value from consumer data isn’t about technology at all. It’s about how you use data to create a fantastic experience for your customers. If you can help your customer get value from their own information they will reward you for that effort. If you continue to use data to spam your customers or provide value to your company, you may find yourself wondering where everybody went.\u0026quot;\n 💬 Mark Cameron\nIMHO it's a soft article with most of the cleverness centering on the (S)oil pun.\nData is the new .... was the theme of an article I wrote for BizCatalyst a few years ago; Time To Terminate Analogies\n \u0026quot;Sure, we wrap the idea up in customer care and nurturing, just as one does when growing plants in a garden, but at the end of the day Cameron’s argument – which seems to emerge from the work of David McCandless who writes at Information is Beautiful is simply a clever play on ‘(s)oil’ and sits squarely in old thinking. \u0026quot;\n 💬 John Philpin\n “The soil analogy is certainly better than big oil but to me, it’s still about personal data being something that’s owned and used by marketers, rather than recognizing that data is used by all of us – both individually and collectively.”\n 💬 StJohn Deakins\nBut It Just Got Better The other day an interview with Jerry Michalski appeared in one of my feeds, where he talked about Data Is TheNew Soil - nice piece - though no mention of Mark Cameron (rightly probably).\nI still think the analogy needs to die - but there was a lot more insight and thinking around the idea (definitely not surprised - Jerry is a thinker). I can highly recommend the whole article which isn't just about the (s)oil pun, but includes many other topics, including these that tickled my particular fancy.\n Idea Superconductivity The Betterverse - not the Metaverse Linky Prose The importance of breaking Zettlekastens out of their private spaces Liquid Democracy  and a whole lot more.\nDo take some time out and have a proper read.\nPost Script In case you were wondering .. yes this is the same Jerry that runs Jerry’s Brain. I am even in there - though it is clear that a few updates are needed!\n",

    "text": "Would You Keep Your Most Valuable Possessions In The Vault Of A Company That Might One Day Just Close Their Doors And Block You From Getting All Your Stuff Back?\nA few years ago … let’s call at it the ‘advent of social’, common wisdom suggested\n ‘Email is dead … long live Social’. If you know me, you will not be surprised to learn that I disagreed with ‘common wisdom’. I even wrote how the people at the vanguard of the movement were not just wrong … they were really wrong.\n Fast forward to 2022 and it is clear that email has not disappeared… in fact for the past few years it has really caught hold … with everyone.\nI publish my newsletter over on Substack, a company that when it launched just 5 years ago was greeted with a general shrug of shoulders and comments that could be rolled up into the umbrella term of ‘What Are They Thinking’.\nI decided that what they were thinking was really interesting and when they announced their public beta in 2018, signed up to explore more, launching my first ever Substack newsletter on February 8th, 2018.\nAt the time my Wordpress Blog was at people-first.net … before moving to people first.vision and then on to people first.business. But I also had a mail chimp account which I used to send occasional missives … so needed to move my subscribers from there over to Substack, but life was busy and more importantly, IMHO Substack wasn’t quite ready for what I needed.\nIt was a year later when I threw my entire lot in with the company, closed down my Mailchimp account and moved my subscribers and committed to a weekly missive. Since then Substack functionality has gone from strength to strength. There are still oddities in some of their design decisions … like why can’t I center text if I really want to center text .. but on the whole … all good.\nOf course lots of companies have woken up to the phenomena … both on the newsletter creation side and software to generate said newsletters. The ‘arms race’ is in full swing.\nIt was at the end of 2021 that the Microsoft company ‘LinkedIN’ launched its own newsletter functionality. If you are on LinkedIN, you know this because you are receiving messages from many people … too many actually, to sign up for their newsletter. But it is clear that people are signing up for them - the question is - are they reading them?\n(Let's Find out)\nHere’s the Challenge. Willy Sutton was a bank robber in the United States, dying at the age of 79 in November 1980. There is an apocryphal story where a reporter asked him why he robbed banks. Willy replied;\n “ Because That’s where the money is.”\n~ Willy Sutton\n People often ask me why I am on LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter et al\nWilly knows - BUT - being there doesn’t mean these platforms are there only places where my thinking, IP, articles, ideas et al reside. All of that starts here - or over on that newsletter. In documents on my hard drive. In my Obsidian vault. Oh so many places - joined together by one common denominator.\nI have control over where and how that content is managed and how it is found. No algorithms. Not 'at the will' of a faceless corporate bureaucrat.\nJust my stuff. Where I want it. So when I want it, I can find it.\n",

    "text": " Photo by Darius Bashar on Unsplash\n After my unscheduled hiatus, I have been thinking about the podcast. It is going to be different. I mean everything is going to be different. Isn’t it? Why would the podcast not be different?\nI recorded the first one earlier this week (don’t worry - you didn’t miss it - I haven’t dropped it yet). If you know me, you’ll know that I definitely err on the side of ten words where one will do … I’m working on it!\nBrevity. That’s one of the changes.\nIt’s only 5 minutes - so far so good!\nThat’s also the thinking behind the newly launched ‘Short Sharp Shock’ - an ‘image lead’ sister publication that will come out weekly questioning what I am calling ‘The Status Futurus’. (Think Status Quo - except in the future.)\nMeanwhile, the Blog has been redesigned to allow for easier navigation, titleless less short asides (why should everything have a title - including a Powerpoint slide) .. The book is still for sale, I am toying with a second book - similar principle - totally different topic,\nAnd then there are the archives.\n… and talking of archives and the use thereof?\nQ: How do I know that people are coming given that I don’t overly bother with analytics?\nA: Because people keep on writing to me telling me that a link is broken.\nSadly, yes, I know and as they are raised I either fix them or remove them.\nThe problem stems from using a series of People First domain changes over the past few years. Older posts pointing to people-first.net, the experimental wiki and glossary just will not work.\nMy sincere apologies.\nWe're getting there.\n",

    "text": " It is telling that someone like Doug Rushkoff can write these words;\n Only individuals who create value for the company are awarded new stock proportionate to their contributions.\n 💬 Douglas Rushkoff\n... without questioning the principle.\nThe corollary is of course that there are people that work inside a company that don't add value, which for yours truly is of course like a 'red rag to a bull' - because as the title of this post suggests, if you are employed by a company and not adding value to that company - then why are you there?\nStakeholder capitalism (apparently) 'solves' the problem.\n ‘Stakeholder capitalism’ is the buzzword du jour for business practices that strive to achieve more than profits and a high stock price.\n 💬 McKinsey\nIf you want to read more - you can:\nPutting stakeholder capitalism into practice.\nTo be fair, the idea of 'Stakeholder Capitalism' has been around for several decades, although who actually coined the term is up for debate, with names including Klaus Schwab (Founder and Executive Chairman of the World Economic Forum), Peter Drucker and Tom Peters.\nStill wondering? This is not a bad primer.\nSo yes - it is not a new idea - it's just that as the world's conversation is moving into fairness and equality, as we see a (kind of) resurgence of Unions and as 'capitalists' are pushed into the corner of 'defending their position' ... the term is emerging and arguably being positioned as the logical next step for a 'sustainable economy'.\nI wrote about this over three years ago when I shared a Ted Talk from Nick Hanauer. Today, that video has had over 5 million views. At the point of 'first discovery', I had not heard of Nick - but as I pointed out, the principles of what he was talking about are engrained in People First thinking.\nToday, you can hear the same language when people talk about DAOs in the world of 'Web3' and quite a few other places.\nBut then many steps before 'Stakeholder Capitalism', there was something called 'The Cooperative Movement' which got its start in 1844 in Rochdale a small town in Lancashire, England.\nSo far, I have not read anything that clearly articulates the distinction between Stakeholder Capitalism and Cooperatives and which and why each might be better or worse than the other. Sometimes I wonder if 'cooperative' is too 'radical' in this world - so we keep inventing new words to describe the same thing. I have always liked the New Values/Old Values - New Power/Old Power model originally developed by Jeremy Heimans and Henry Timms nearly ten years ago.\nSo, picking on a random target company like Uber, which despite hanging its hat on 'the sharing economy' is actually 💯 an 'old thinking' capitalist company.  Now consider a company called ATX Coop Taxi - a cooperative taxi service based in Austin that has been around for over 5 years. NO - they aren't as well known - but their service is a 'cooperative'. The question is why hasn’t it taken off?\nThat is for another time.\n",

    "title": "Can We Blame the Digital Age for the Disembodiment of Knowledge?",
    "text": "This is a question asked by Valerie Andrews over on BizCatalyst360\nMy short answer is NO. No we can’t.\nI\u0026rsquo;ll get into the main thrust of my positon re the article in a moment - but first lets' talk about \u0026lsquo;the disembodiment of knowledge\u0026rsquo;.\n \u0026ldquo;Disembodiment \u0026hellip;. manifesting as a disruption of bodily self-awareness which induces a disturbing feeling of self-detachment or “depersonalisation”.\n If that is disembodiment \u0026hellip; then I don’t even agree with the premise. Maybe if a discussion ensues in the thread below - I will come back to this, but here is what I do know. The internet has certainly thrown open the doors to questioning facts and that is not always a good thing. But equally it is not a bad thing.\nThe world is a sphere is a fact. Despite the arguments. In fact, not to get meta - I would argue that simply rejecting the idea that the world is a sphere and is in fact flat is not an argument, but a simple unsubstantiated contradiction. I for one cannot get into those kinds of conversations.\nRemember this?\n  \u0026ldquo;An argument is a connected series of statements intended to establish a proposition.\u0026rdquo;\n But some \u0026lsquo;facts\u0026rsquo; aren\u0026rsquo;t as clear - because it tends to question what we have been taught. As an English school kid I was taught about India and Pakistan. I \u0026lsquo;knew\u0026rsquo; the facts.\nOr did I?\n I don\u0026rsquo;t know the answer. But thanks to the internet I now know that what I considered to be a \u0026lsquo;fact\u0026rsquo; is actually up for debate. It depends on your context.\nAnyway. Back to the plot.\nValerie opened her article \u0026hellip;\n “This is the age of Kindle, cloud storage, and the app-for-everything. We’ve said goodbye to personal libraries and printed books, to cabinets and accordion files, to calculators and accounting ledgers. But is our understanding of the world—and even our sense of self— diminished as we lose our paper trail? The Berkeley artist Ann Arnold recently joined me in considering the advantages of the analog life. Here are our a few of our observations about old-fashioned ways of storing and accessing information.”\n I don’t use a Kindle. I definitely use cloud storage and use a lot of (good) apps for things I want to do.\nJust from that paragraph …\n “We’ve said goodbye to personal libraries.”\n No we haven’t.\nIn fact despite being very much a digital citizen, I have not said goodbye to most of the things on that list - other than (filing) cabinets and accordion files (thankfully). My calculator, accounting ledger and personal library exist on my computer. Needless to say, printed books do not - but yes, I do have them, because, like Valerie - I like them. Very much - just like my vinyl record collection and my CD collection they are very much part of me.\nBUT - my information world is 90 to 95% digital. I have \u0026lsquo;everything\u0026rsquo; on my computer - which means that where ever I am in the world - I can still pull up something I need when I need it - try doing that with your \u0026lsquo;at home library\u0026rsquo; whilst travelling, or in the office, or on holiday, or from seat 36C on a plane crossing the Atlantic ….\nIn fact … to riff on another line from the article ….\n “In the 2020s, the Englishman John Philpin viewed his computer as an extension of his brain, a virtual (fully backed up) vault filled with a lifetime of accumulated memories and accomplishments.”\n Not to take away from the physical book or the analogue world … I love them both and the digital world is the same - yet different.\nI too love the touch of the paper when reading the book - but knowledge isn’t only found on paper. Part of the knowledge I store digitally is in video format, others in audio format, yet others in image format. I am utilising beta software that allows me to find things inside of the video and audio. Not yet ready for prime time - but definitely coming.\nKnowledge is also found in comments in threads - and if I see something like that - it is captured and added to my digital vault. Take for example this post, which was orginally going to be a comment posted to BizCatalyst. (NOT LinkedIN or Facebook - as I intimated in those two spaces - I like to comment where the work is done.) If it remained a comment, it would still be added to my my digital archive with a link to where it was posted. As a post it is automatically part of my \u0026lsquo;knowledge\u0026rsquo; world.\nMeanwhile, in the image world Apple - and I suspect Google (though since I don’t use them - I cant absolutely say) - allows me to search for text inside of photographs. So I can take a picture of a restaurant’s menu and later search for that restaurant name - and up it comes, together with the phone number that I can click on to call.\nTry doing that with a book!\nValerie also referenced French author Henri Bosco. How she described his thinking reminded me of Zettelkasten. Unclear whether he specifically used the methodology - but there are plenty of writers that do.\nOne of the systems I use in my knowledge management is Obsidian - but Notion and Roam are two other alternative. All of them support a digital version of Zettlekasten. I DO NOT use Zettlekasten - for my needs the overhead is too great - but I know people that do.\nBy the way - to answer \u0026hellip;\n “What do we lose as we toss out the stash of work-related articles, the stacks of reference books, the cabinets full of rigorous research, the piles of faded diaries and journals?”\n I scan things into my system as I go. So I don’t have to make that decision.\n Finally, it’s an old one - but thought I would share this YouTube video \u0026hellip; imagining a conversation when the world moved on from the scroll to the book.\n  In conclusion, \u0026lsquo;HumanIT\u0026rsquo; is moving on. The world of atoms is not being abandoned but rather it now has a companion in the world of bytes. I would say that the storage and retrieval (retrieval being something that Valerie does not specifically call out in her article) of knowledge is best managed by bits and bytes - not atoms \u0026hellip; and so this transition is finally allowing knowledge to \u0026lsquo;come home\u0026rsquo;.\nWhat do you think?\n",

Which means there will be a massive shift from vibe-neutral public space to some sort of Free Speech Thunderdome where Elon sets the Vibe of the Month for you to either rejoice in, or resist.\u0026rdquo;\n Ezra writes\n \u0026ldquo;Betting against Musk has made fools of many in recent years. But I count myself, still, as a cautious believer in Musk’s power to do the impossible — in this case, to expose what Twitter is and to right-size its influence. In fact, I think he’s the only one with the power to do it. Musk is already Twitter’s ultimate player. Now he’s buying the arcade. Everything people love or hate about it will become his fault. Everything he does that people love or hate will be held against the platform. He will be Twitter.\u0026rdquo;\n But maybe not the long term one.\nVenkatesh seems to be of the belief of one more nail in the blog coffin - though I can\u0026rsquo;t reconcile how he arrives at that conclusion.\nWhile Ezra writes;\n \u0026ldquo;He will have won the game.

    "text": "I never made the switch from photography to illustrations on my web properties, but I do very much remember when Unsplash seemed to suddenly be the \u0026lsquo;defacto choice\u0026rsquo; for photography on many sites. More recently seeing Craft and others add the service right into their apps, I have felt for a while that I need to discover a new source of visual inspiration.\nWas that due to that acquisition, or is it the uniquity of images from the Unsplash library? Are they related?\nCase in point \u0026hellip;. how many times have you seen this image?\nPhoto by Ian Schneider on Unsplash\nAccording to Unsplash it has nearly 150 million views and has been downloaded 1,225,278 times - not recorded are the 2,397 sites I have visited that use this image!\nSo yes, I have noticed that I am struggling to find images on Unsplash that work for what I am writing about. Which is why I am eagerly waiting for my access to DALL-E 2 and \u0026hellip; Midjourney \u0026hellip; because I already have plans to change the illustrative approach to my blogs and social sharing.\nI thought it was just me - until I read this today;\n Sometime around 2015 there was a mysterious vibe shift in web design. It came so suddenly, and with so much decisive force, that it stood apart from the normal ebb and flow of aesthetic trends. It was like an invasive species taking over an ecosystem from a weaker competitor.\n 💬 Nathan Baschez\n🔗 DALL·E 2 and The Origin of Vibe Shifts\n I think when Unsplash (the free photography website) was founded in 2013 it killed the old vibe by democratizing access to great photography, and thereby ruining its function as a costly status signal. Companies then started using custom illustrations in their brand aesthetic because illustrations suddenly became much more rare and expensive relative to photos.\n  I’m interested in this little piece of design history because today I think history is on the brink of repeating itself. Now that we have DALL·E 2 (and other AI image generators), a huge portion of visual vibes will become democratized. What Unsplash did to photography, DALL·E 2 will do to illustrations, 3D renderings, and eventually all visual styles.\n  In other words: a vibe shift is indeed coming.\n ",

    "text": "I wanted to share this because for me it truly resonated with the message we often hear in these modern times which is to \u0026ldquo;Follow Your Passion.\u0026rdquo;\nThe importance of the letter is (as is so often the case with Fenyman) - deep and clear.\n Dear Kichi\nI was very happy to hear from you, and that you have such a position in the Research Laboratories.\nUnfortunately, your letter made me unhappy for you seem to be truly sad. It seems that the influence of your teacher has been to give you a false idea of what are worthwhile problems. The worthwhile problems are the ones you can really solve or help solve, the ones you can really contribute something to. A problem is grand in science if it lies before us unsolved and we see some way for us to make some headway into it. I would advise you to take even simpler, or as you say, humbler, problems until you find some you can really solve easily, no matter how trivial. You will get the pleasure of success, and of helping your fellow man, even if it is only to answer a question in the mind of a colleague less able than you. You must not take away from yourself these pleasures because you have some erroneous idea of what is worthwhile.\nYou met me at the peak of my career when I seemed to you to be concerned with problems close to the gods. But at the same time I had another Ph.D. Student (Albert Hibbs) whose thesis was on how it is that the winds build up waves blowing over water in the sea. I accepted him as a student because he came to me with the problem he wanted to solve. With you I made a mistake, I gave you the problem instead of letting you find your own; and left you with a wrong idea of what is interesting or pleasant or important to work on (namely those problems you see you may do something about). I am sorry, excuse me. I hope by this letter to correct it a little.\nI have worked on innumerable problems that you would call humble, but which I enjoyed and felt very good about because I sometimes could partially succeed. For example, experiments on the coefficient of friction on highly polished surfaces, to try to learn something about how friction worked (failure). Or, how elastic properties of crystals depends on the forces between the atoms in them, or how to make electroplated metal stick to plastic objects (like radio knobs). Or, how neutrons diffuse out of Uranium. Or, the reflection of electromagnetic waves from films coating glass. The development of shock waves in explosions. The design of a neutron counter. Why some elements capture electrons from the L-orbits, but not the K-orbits. General theory of how to fold paper to make a certain type of child’s toy (called flexagons). The energy levels in the light nuclei. The theory of turbulence (I have spent several years on it without success). Plus all the “grander” problems of quantum theory.\nNo problem is too small or too trivial if we can really do something about it.\nYou say you are a nameless man. You are not to your wife and to your child. You will not long remain so to your immediate colleagues if you can answer their simple questions when they come into your office. You are not nameless to me. Do not remain nameless to yourself – it is too sad a way to be. Know your place in the world and evaluate yourself fairly, not in terms of your naïve ideals of your own youth, nor in terms of what you erroneously imagine your teacher’s ideals are.\nBest of luck and happiness. Sincerely, Richard P. Feynman\n The Original Post at Letters of Note has gone - but can be found on the internet archive.\n",

    "text": "Just finished reading: 🔗 The Cellist by Daniel Silva 📚\nDefinitely a good read … kept me turning the pages … though I take issue with him being described as ‘the new LeCarre … or am I just being overly defensive of one of my ‘4 Johns’.\nThat all said, the most amazing thing about this book is that following Jan 6th 2021 he revised the book top to bottom in 6 weeks. Not that this should cause you to read it … but absolutely testament to his desire for realism in his books.\nThis was my first Silva … but it won’t be my last.\n",

Three of those — electromagnetism, gravity and the strong nuclear force — push or pull things, broadly speaking. The fourth force — the weak nuclear force — doesn't really push or pull anything. Instead it makes one type of particle transform into another type of particle. In doing so we get the force responsible for radiation, and it's the force that drives nuclear fusion in the sun. So it's quite important.” I’ll say it’s important. Now I will have to revisit some of the thinking in the book!\n",

    "title": "How Are We Going To Manage The Transformation We Need?",
    "text": "I often listen to a podcast or read an article and at the end of it my reaction is 'yes … and' or 'yes … but’.\nIF I feel sufficiently moved - a link might get posted to my Thought Stream, together with a pithy observation - and I move on.\n The Thought Stream On the stream I offer a randomized link, that takes you to one of the posts. the oldest of which dates back 2005! \n Sometimes though … just sometimes … what I am reading or listening to, triggers more than a few synapses and I am prompted into writing something more substantial. This is one such occasion after I listened to ‘The Thoughtful Leader’ - a podcast hosted by Mindy Gibbins-Klein when she was talking with Steve Sanders.\nFull disclosure - whilst I don’t really know either Mindy or Steve - we have talked, exchanged ideas and generally feel we are on the same playing field. All three of us happen to belong to a tight network that runs out of the UK, but in my language, I wouldn’t say I ‘know’ either of them ‘well’ (yet), whatever that means. That said, they both come across as very good people that I will get to know better over time.\nSo to that podcast.\nFirst - Mindy - my thanks for the People First call-out - at least that is how I am taking it 😀 … I know you weren’t connecting it to my work - but I’ll take whatever I can get - just like when Zuckerborg (sic) borrowed the phrase, I know he wasn’t talking about me - and in fact, I don’t believe him - but nothing wrong with pushing the image to remind people!\nSteve - good job and on topic - as we explored when we recently talked. I think we might be cut from the same cloth, even though our suits might be different.\nI certainly do not disagree with anything you said - but I do have a couple of observations.\nOne - Generational Differences I agree on the challenge of focussing on generational differences. I know 15 years olds that are 80 and 80 years old that ‘remain’ teenagers. I get why business has this need for categorization - I reject that people need to adopt it.\nThe New Yorker seems to agree.\n Why do people adopt corporate language and thinking that is at odds with what is good for us?  For example;\nI reject the use of that horrible corporate word ‘content’ that people spend so much time working to deliver into the platformed silos of LinkedIn, Facebook, TicToc, Snapchat, Instagram, What’s App and all the rest. If your work is homogenous, un-differentiated, fodder written to feed the algorithm and garner clicks, hearts and whatever other little badge of honour the corporates regard us with - then perfect. I would hazard a guess though that most creators don’t think that their posts, articles, essays, photographs, books, images, poems … are anything but that … but that is what we are reducing our IP to.\nAnd of course, because anything that is an homogenized undifferentiated commodity - the price that gets paid is not on value - but how cheap an alternative might be.\n.. and do not get me started on Marketing War Rooms! \n But let’s keep the plot front and center.\nI have been looking and commenting on these supposed generational differences for years and am not quite as optimistic as Steve when it comes to how fast this is going to change. More of that in a minute. But first - let me put my hand up in the air and emphasize that Steve is not alone in his optimism. Who am I to disagree with the findings of Accenture, who in this report seem to support the idea that we are moving towards this new world faster than any of us might think.\nEsteban Kolsky is one of the few analysts that picked up on the survey - and in his post reminded us of the vagaries of such surveys!\n … “let’s say you are not truly convinced that they WILL actually do what they say they may in a survey (something about an unconscious bias towards being liked makes most of us answer as expected, not as the way we will act, etc.).”\n He goes on with this advice …\n … “read while wearing rubber gloves and use thongs to “flip pages” if you want to avoid contact – hehe – but definitely read this about how consumers are changing, because outside of the flawed data-collection, the trend is real and well documented.”\n … and it is my job as CCO (that’s ‘Chief Contrary Office’) not only to question the findings that were discovered when Accenture surveyed\n … “more than 25,000 consumers across 22 countries, with follow-up focus groups in five countries.\n (I’ll forgive the language - it’s Accenture, they can’t help it, but I prefer to survey people.)\n… but indeed anything that sits oddly that is, in turn, being shared under the banner ‘common wisdom’.\nThe bottom line is optimism. Don’t get me wrong - even I am optimistic, it’s just the speed of adoption that I am questioning - which brings me to part two.\nTwo - The Speed of Transformation First, I hope I am wrong. But, the evidence I am seeing suggests different.\nI could highlight so many examples that might suggest how slow this is going to be - but let’s choose three.\nSupply Chain Inequality We have been able to buy ‘$1 throw away ‘designer’ t-shirts’ for decades. Stores like Primark despite pages like this exist because when it comes to action - as opposed to feeling, we turn a blind eye.\nJust think for two seconds about the profit behind a $1 t-shirt being sold in a large department store on Oxford Street and other cities around the world. It surely points to inequality and sometimes exploitation somewhere (if not everywhere) in the supply chain.\nExploitation that we all hate and rail against - but we are complicit in our purchase.\nWhat age group does Primark serve\n ”Whilst in-store customers may differ slightly, Primark’s social audience fall within the 17–24-year age demographic (depending on platform) and are over 90% female.\n The very age group that we are pinning our hopes and dreams on to change corporations.\nEase of Transaction over Moral Compass Uber Eats, Doordash, GrubHub et al make their profits through food delivery.\nThe mechanics of the transaction has 30% of the food order at your favourite takeaway magically being extracted from the local economy - only to appear as revenue in a company in Oakland, California.\nIt’s clear. But we continue to do it.\nSo much for being aware of social issues and forcing corporations to change.\nA similar argument can be applied to Uber itself because it is ‘oh so convenient - and cheap … even though even in London there are apps that compete like Gett … so people who ‘say’ they are demanding Corporations to do better - vote with their thumb when it comes to the short term benefit of saving a buck. Principles are gone!\nDon’t believe me? Consider this which headlines with;\n “Black cabs roar back into favour as app firms put up their prices.”\n Meanwhile - over in the USA …\nDC AG Sues Grubhub For Sneaky Fees, Screwing Over Local Restaurants | Techdirt\n “But Grubhub didn’t fully cover the costs of these discounts. Instead, it passed most of the costs of the discounts along to the already-struggling restaurants. Grubhub also forced the restaurants to pay their full commission on the discounted orders based on non-discounted prices. This promotion severely cut into restaurants’ already-small profit margins, and misled DC residents who believed their orders through Grubhub would help their favourite restaurants.”\n Yikes.\nWhere is the outrage? Where is the socially aware youth?\nCryptocurrency 16% of Americans say they have ever invested in, traded or used cryptocurrency - depending on which site you visit, the numbers vary for the US and in different countries, but there is no doubt that a lot of people have jumped onto the bandwagon - despite the apparent danger of it being a highly volatile gamble in something that I would guess (no science here), some 90% of those people could not even start to describe how cryptocurrency works.\nBut that isn’t what this bit is about. \nLets start with another podcast that asks Can Our Climate Survive Bitcoin? - it’s an hour long - but well worth a listen - and it contains some eye opening stories.\nOne of the many stories - American towns competing with each other to offer massively discounted power to ‘crypto miners’ where the workers earn $20 per hour, and the owners - well - it’s the usual story.\nScott Galloway nailed it in one of his pieces;\nand\n “All animals are equal but some are more equal than others”\n 💬 George Orwell   So how do you reconcile the crypto movement with the climate change crowd …\n … “almost half of all American men ages 18 to 29 say they have invested in, traded or used a form of cryptocurrency.”\n SOURCE\nMaybe its just that the ‘modern youth’ are massively intelligent …\n “The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in mind at the same time and still retain the ability to function.”\n 💬 F. Scott Fitzgerald   But I am not yet convinced.\nNo research yet - but as the funds spring up supporting this brave new crypto world and our children are apparently eschewing investment in the ‘extractive industries’ - we find this headline;\nExxon Mobil reportedly gets in on Bitcoin mining\nFollow the money babe - follow the money.\nThree - Altruism Riddle me this … why are boomers generally seen as the ‘bad guys’. This just 5 days ago : Boomers responsible for nearly one third of greenhouse gas emissions, study suggests. Really, do some google searching - it is clear that boomers are positioned as 'the problem'.\nI have no idea how true that is (full disclosure - I am a boomer)\n But It Gets Worse  I am a Boomer\nI am English\nI am Male\nI am Straight\nI am White\nSingle handidly - most of the ills of the world might fall at my feet if you listen to the common narrative. \n I do however know enough that the same data can produce very different conclusions.\nBut consider this;\nVint Cerf and Bob Metcalf’s work gave us TCP/IP - the internet wouldn’t work without that protocol\nTim Berners Lee’s work gave us the worldwide web.\nSo as to avoid confusion (and please note - this is a real image - not a photoshop .. I was there when it was taken.) …\nLet’s write that in a different way.\n Baby Boomers Vint Cerf (78) and Bob Kahn (83) hold the join honorary title of ‘Godfathers of The Internet’. Tim Berners-Lee (66) came up with the World Wide Web and none of them are millionaires in the ‘millionaire sense’ - and certainly not billionaires.\n It’s also telling that I more than likely need to provide context as to who these people are - but that when we move on to other generations, no explanation is necessary. We just somehow know their names.\nJeff Bezos at 58 sits at the cusp of Boomer and GenX, the other names you will be familiar with include;\nGenX Jack Dorsey (45)\nSergey Brin (48)\nLarry Page (49)\nElon Musk (50)\nMillenial Mark Zuckerberg (37)\nEvan Spiegel (31)\nZhang Yiming (38)\nThe web was created by Berner-Lee as a place of equality - where everyone had a publishing press and/or microphone - if they chose to use them.\nBut the money was made by ‘post boomers’.\nThe cesspit of corruption, bias and fake news - Fakebook was created by a millennial. The other one, Twitter, by a GenXer.\nI could write it another way;\nBoomers created the internet and the web and did not turn themselves into money-grubbing billionaires - like GenX and Millenials do today.\nNow, who’s destroying the world?\nBottom Line No matter the indignation we feel, or how loud our screams for a fairer society, the fact is that when it comes down to it, the further that happens from your wallet and/or physical presence - the more easily it is forgotten - or even ignored.\nThe t-shirt situation occurs because they are made on the other side of the world - too far away for me to affect. Besides - if I don’t buy them - others will - what difference does what I do make?\nUber, is an identical situation - except the person you are now stealing (what word would you use) from might be your neighbour!\nAnd it is all because people, on the whole, do not understand. They don’t think - why should they - life is too busy!\nAs a result, corporations will continue as they do and won’t be challenged as they transition their businesses into spaces to make even more money - at whatever cost.\nYes - there are exceptions. Consider Patagonia, a retailer that takes its values to heart. Revenues of $1Billion - not chump change - but that’s less than Primark’s pre Covid annual profits - interesting to note that Arthur Ryan who founded Primark is of the Silent Generation as is Yvon Chouinard who founded Patagonia.\nIf we are really going to compare generations through the lens of ‘business oligarchs’ - it looks like the world might have got better with Boomers - and it has been going downhill ever since!\nConclusion And, this is all written with a bit of tongue in cheek because I do so object to behavioural classification based on age.\nBut it’s also asking why we think everything is suddenly going to be different - and different quick - just because we hear how ‘woke’ and ‘aware’ the youth are - when it comes to global challenges. ‘the youth’ are coming to save us.\nYou might not remember the sixties (if you do - you probably ‘weren’t there’), but that generation had hopes, ideals and aspirations. They were also going to change the world for the better. Did they? Was it for the better?\nTo borrow a ‘sign off’ from my friend Geoff Moore - that’s what I think … what do you think?\n ",

I have written about this before here, here and here and a whole host of other places aswell.\nThe Conclusion There is no future of work. There is only a future of income. Fast forward to a LinkedIn graphic that was presented to me last week.\nIt appeared in BrettKing's LinkedIn stream. Brett and I are connected on LinkedIn, and have a couple of very good mutual friends in common. Brett, like another 'futurist' Gerd Leonhard is doing a great job in 'getting the word out', but I worry that the word being got out is not just oversimplified but actually harmful because people are being lulled into a false sense of security.\nThis Is One Such Example First, I assume that 'Aritificial' is a typo and not some new technological development ...\n ... but the lack of proofreading of a single sentence might be a clue to how substantial the thinking is that underpins the idea.\nImportant: Please do not take this post as my taking an anti position on Brett. I don’t know him, but do follow and pay attention. He is not wrong on a number of issues. Like these two ..\n  Brett's Take The Original Post on LinkedIn (sorry - I wanted to embed it here - but LinkedIn is the only site that seems to fail with a WordPress embeds) ... go figure.\nThe crux of my issue is the flip approach to what is happening in the world of business today. I limited my response to a few lines ... hoping that a reader would be able to 'read between them', Brett read the lines, but not between them.\nBrett duly responded ...\n Readers of this blog will know that this is something I understand.\nBUT\nThe point I was trying to make is not about the future of work - we know is being redefined through outsourcing, offshoring, automation, AI, the gig economy, zero hour contracts ... and it is clear those jobs aren't going to come back.\nMy point is (and always has been) more 'People Firsty' ... that is as all of this comes to be - how will people make income to live their lives in the future?\nExample 1 In the comments in Brett's thread people referenced the four day week - and everyone is talking about how it is already happening. The assumption seems to be that a staff member will no longer work 5 days and instead work 4 days.\nThis is quite brilliant and lovely and utopian and - all those things we want to have in and around our lives and existence. Who doesn’t want to work less ...\nIf their salary is not affected.\nBut let's just take a couple of seconds to do a pretty shallow dive ... if people are working 4 days, not 5, then they are working 20% less. To let them work less and not pay them less is the equivalent of companies giving each of those people a 20% salary increase.\nAre companies going to do that?\nThe answer is in plain sight because we have a stalking horse in the race. Thanks to COVID we have proof points all over the world that people don’t want to 'go back to the office' and in turn, some companies have responded with\nThat's ok - work wherever you want!\n Spectacular - until you read the small print ...\nThis isn't the only article out there, do a search and you will find hundreds, if not thousands of articles debating the merits of paying your staff based on what locals earn.\nCase in point - move 200 miles up the I80 from San Francisco to Reno, salaries are nothing like that of the Bay Area. On top of that since Reno is in Nevada - there is no state tax. In California - well like most places, it varies, but here is one slice ...\n$115,648 – $590,7469.30%Source : HR Block - so moving your life 200 miles reduces your cost of living substantially just based on tax savings. But there's more ...\nBeyond the tax break, the Reno cost of living index is just 116.2, compared to San Francisco's at a whopping 244 - and that does not include the tax break just described.\nSo if you can do your job remotely, why wouldn’t you want to move to a cheaper place - and collect the same income. (Putting the comparison of living in Reno versus San Francisco aside.)\nIt does seem to be a perfect idea - except your employer is not generally going to allow that - because they do - and will - pay you based on where you live - not where you work!\nI get the argument, I really do - but that's my point. If companies aren't going to pay people for value delivered, but based on where they live, then why are they suddenly going to pay you a higher daily rate because you want to work less?\nTo me, the 4 day week is an experiment to cut salaries - legally. It won't happen suddenly - just over time. They might well leave your salary in place, but everyone's? ... and when you leave will they continue to pay your premium rate to the next person?\nExample 2 As more and more people leave their cubes to follow their dreams and passions - which is what everyone is telling you to do - right? Follow your dreams - it will all work out.\nWhat dream and passion are you going to follow?\nLook around today and you will find little societal support for artists, musicians, writers, poets et al. Imagine if the number of such people suddenly doubled, grew fivefold or even tenfold as we all follow our dreams ... are all those people suddenly going to be earning a lot more? (it's a rhetorical question.)\nWe are also told that there is so much opportunity in the professions of care-giving, social services, teachers, hospital workers, elderly care. They are right. Lots of opportunities. They are all on the ‘hot professions’ list, but before you get too excited, go talk to the people who work in those areas now. Ask them why Teachers are resigning en masse? Why do nurses get trained and don’t go into health services?\nThere are countless examples of how society (that's you and me), value these professions. We don't.\nBack to musicians - we pay Spotify 10 bucks a month to stream an 'all you can eat' flow of music to your ears. The artists are generally not well rewarded. But it's not as if Spotify aren't making good money. How else do they afford to $100 million to sign up a single podcast - or buy company after company as they seek to lock up the world of podcasting. (BTW - they are doing it because the more you listen to that - the less they have to pay out.)\nTo conclude, as wonderful as it is for all of us to follow our dreams and passions - so we can all live fulfilled lives - we also need to earn an income. And we are barely doing that today, so how is that going to get better?\nI said something better change\nI said something better change\nI said something better change\nI said something better change\nThe Stranglers Or maybe we will all move into social services, hospitals, caring for the elderly - since they are all on the ‘hot professions’ list. That said, the last two years have clearly demonstrated that while ‘society’ might value the people in those roles, it is clear that the paymasters do not.\nIn short, as we replace jobs with automation - and people don’t have a way to replace that income, something is not adding up.\nBottom line - as organizations remove people from their vendor supply chain and automate sales to improve business efficiency, more and more people will be left out of the workforce - and no matter how many Norman Tebbits (Sorry old English reference), how about Kim Kardashian's words of 'motivation'.\nI have a way of looking at the issue. I call it ...\nThe Business Equation At the simplest level, the business equation recognizes that every commercial entity has an input - where it creates something using people, money and/or assets to create a product or service that is sold - the output. The 'black box' in the middle is the business. Your business. Any business.\nTo maximize shareholder value, the business seeks to reduce the cost of what it produces or increase the price of what it sells. Yes there all kinds of techniques that are used - but reduce it all down and you are left with\nIt is a simplification, but the logic holds.\nThis is an early simplification of the model. The whole enchilada will become a post unto itself. It is also true that on the left-hand side of the equation the fixed costs of 'people' is really high - which is why over the years, companies have sought to cut those costs by 'getting people off the books'. That's where outsourcing and offshoring got their start. Automation through Robotics is now turning into AI and then at contractual levels, the gig economy / zero-hour contracts all play into the needs of corporations who keep on pushing the boundaries of 'just in time' 'people'.\nAnd you thought the days of people being cogs in the corporate engine was a thing of the past!\nNow imagine every company big and small working to remove people from the equation in this way. Where does it leave people? Every mini Business Equation on the left of that diagram is doing its bit to outsource, offshore, automate .... and where do people fit in that equation?\nTo quote my friend Geoffrey Moore ...\nThat's What I Think - What Do You Think?\n",

    "text": "If not - when do you stand on bullying? Just keep taking it?\nIf it is - then … well read on … is Chris Rock America?\n Take #1: Will Smith’s assault on Chris Rock violated the law—so if Rock wants to press charges against Smith, Smith should face punishment. But Rock provoked Smith with a cruel joke about his wife, and he shouldn’t have made the joke.\n  Take #2: Russia’s invasion of Ukraine violated international law—so Ukraine’s armed resistance to it is justifiable, as are sanctions and other forms of punishment. But America provoked Russia with NATO expansion and various other policies that America, if in Russia’s shoes, would have found unacceptable—and America shouldn’t have done that.\n  I don’t have any polling data to back this up, but my sense is that if you espouse the first of those two takes you won’t get much blowback. In fact, you may be credited with unusual balance, prudence, even Solomonic wisdom.\n  But if you espouse the second take—and here, though I have no polling data, I do have relevant personal experience, since I’ve been espousing a version of it for weeks—you do get a fair amount of blowback.\n Read The Whole Thing\nPost Script\nI am not saying Rock or America was bullying - but its surely in the spectrum?\n",

    "text": " \u0026ldquo;The Economist estimates zero excess deaths among the elderly in New Zealand, for instance, and gives the whole region an excess-mortality range of negative 31 to positive 37 per 100,000 residents, meaning it’s possible fewer people died there than would’ve had we never even heard of SARS-CoV-2.\u0026rdquo;\n and \u0026hellip;\n \u0026ldquo;The U.S. drove an unprecedented vaccine-innovation campaign in 2020, which empowered much of the world to turn the page on the pandemic’s deadliest phases, then, in 2021, utterly failed to take advantage of its power itself. But what is perhaps even more striking is that American vaccination coverage isn’t just bad, by the standards of its peers, but getting worse. About two-thirds of Americans have received two shots of vaccine, a level that is in line with Israel and not far off from the U.K., though below many other wealthy countries. (And even in the U.K., vaccination was more effectively directed toward the old.) But over the last six months, the country has had an opportunity to make up that gap with boosters and has simply not taken it. Only 29 percent of Americans have had a booster shot of the vaccine, which puts us behind Slovenia, Slovakia, and Poland and means that less than half of those people happy to be vaccinated a year ago have chosen to get a third shot through Delta and Omicron. Booster campaigns seem like an obvious opportunity for easy public-health gains, yet remarkably few Americans seem to think it’s worth the trouble. Why? For everything we think we know about the pandemic and how people have responded to it, that one remains a maddening mystery.\u0026rdquo;\n Read The Article (Apple News)\nSad.\n",

(He seems to be right.)\nThe talk is only 35 minutes or so of the nearly 1-hour video (the rest is a Q and A) - and touched on many topics including China's penetration into the world that Peter Frankopan - amongst others - wrote about in his 2018 book The New Silk Roads. (The Guardian). An excellent book that if the future of the world is interesting to you, this book should be either on your bookshelf - or (as in my case) in your iPad.\nThere is part of me that questions the pattern making ‘proofs’. Kind of like the ley lines of England … that are in the canons of ‘lost knowledge’. If you are loose enough with definitions and correlations then yes - everything is going to align.\nStill, for all of that, it’s a good 35 minute listen - and it gets harder to say that as each day passes.\n ",

It’s a great camera (and the M1 has an excellent image signal processor), but horizontally, you wind up with a high-quality image of yourself from a bad angle. The camera is too low and off to the side. If you look at the camera you’re not looking at the screen, and if you look at the screen the camera makes it look like you’re not looking at the screen. I don’t know what the solution to this problem is, but Apple hasn’t found it yet.\"   💬 John Gruber     ",
