> inability to create something that only your team can use and understand effectively means you’re locked to growing markets (bubbles) and never have real expertise and/or budget over bloated competition

Could you unpack that a bit further?

By "inability to create something that only your team can use and understand effectively", do you mean "inability to create something really powerful"? As it stands, it sounds like a good thing.
I hate to be dystopic, but what happens when a futuristic Unabomber gets a hold of 3D-printing, self-replicating robots and programs them to kill? Will we all be walking around with our own 3D-printed bodyguard robots, programmed to watch and destroy any other robots that look hostile? Or will the first bad actor's robots destroy everyone else's (or everyone else)?

> Then everything will cost only as much as raw materials.

Seems like one would want to own the raw materials, then. But if the evil Dr. Robotico's robots can kill the owners and take their quarries, then what? Does he rule the whole world? Are we in a race to robot armageddon?

Man, that Paperclips game is starting to seem more and more prescient.

>Imagine being in a software team and disregarding what others are doing?

I think there's an extent to which this is actually healthy. If we're to build modular code, we shouldn't concern ourselves with the internal workings of modules built by others. We do need to agree on how the modules will interact, but if we need to concern ourselves with how their parts work then we're insufficiently modular.

This maps to the social interpretation of this advice as well. You need a healthy interpersonal interface to accept useful input while ignoring useless input.

"“In conditions of uncertainty and risk,” the researchers explained, “some instances of optimism lead people to make better decisions by helping avoid more costly mistakes and contribute to survival and flourishing.” Even so, it’s true only to a point. “Excessive optimism,” they concluded, “can become problematic and lead to poor strategic planning, disillusionment and disappointment, and risky behaviours""

Trump also wrote, according to the article:

"“Someone asked me if I thought I was a genius,” he wrote in 2009 in Think Like a Champion. “I decided to say yes. Why not? Try it out. Tell yourself that you are a genius.”"

The researcher's thoughts:

"“For most people,” said Norem, who specializes in optimism, pessimism and personality psychology, “there’s a point at which, if that’s all they bring to the table, it breaks down.”

The question is where that point is for Trump. He is so clearly not most people. In the words of Mitch Horowitz: “He is a kind of Frankenstein monster of the philosophy” of positive thought.""

The whole article is really worth reading.

>Unlike Russian efforts to secretly influence the 2016 election via social media, this American-led campaign was aided by direct collaboration with employees of Facebook and Google. They helped target the ads to more efficiently reach the intended audiences, according to internal reports from the ad agency that ran the campaign, as well as five people involved with the efforts.

FB did the same thing in Russia, when they were still trying to flirt with the regime, naively believeing that they can come out with net benefit from such relationship. The regime never treated them any much differently from any other of its pawns.

FB was openly taking money from Russian/KGB campaigners round 2010, dispatching campaign consultants and overall treating them as their first tier clients. Same was true of Google in Russia when they still had hopes of somehow greasing hands with the establishment. They evacuated the most valuable staff out of Russia around 2015 to Switzerland, when they finally gave up on Russian market. I still do remember them quitely delisting online resources with corruption exposures circa 2007, that were reappearing in search with simple reversal of word order.

KGB may've been just "probing where the water is shallow" and gaining experience with online propaganda in 2010 by buying "seemingly innocent" think tank drivel and consulting contracts from FB and Google, and then they went full throttle when it came to sabotaging the US elections.

American top C-Levels, officials, 3 letter agency employees, and other American beau monde all have that "smart, sophisticated, brilliant, but damn naive" note in their personalities. Such types look the same to me as people who are trying "to win in a casino," while having "I know what I'm doing" look on their face. They can't win anything there in any sense.

Americans must overhaul their political establishment and institutes of power with virtuous and competent people. If I was a US congress, I would've put it very square, if a dot com like FB actively conspires with Russians, and then pretends that they didn't, then everybody along the chain of command down to founders, c-levels, and major financiers (with their own respective boards) are detained, subject to criminal prosecution and given prison sentences.

> it does not seem like regulating banks has done much to improve the financial system

Are you sure?

To me is looks like this:

Loosening the regulations on US mortgages was a strong contributing factor to a global financial crisis.

Since then, tightening regulations on global banking has led to banks being much less likely to fail and trigger another crisis.
It really is remarkable how efficient capitalism is at ensuring that proles are born with nothing and die with nothing. Every tiny bit of surplus beyond maintenance of the body is siphoned away into the pockets of the capital class.
Do you know what an autocrat is? It seems like you might be getting some lies in your daily sources of news...
Regarding banks, non-regulation isn't a solution either, though.
It sounds really silly, but that might actually be the only way to prevent a few bad actors from taking over the world with killer robots. Of course, enforcement would be a problem.

> clear falsehoods

Its usually not clear whether these ads are based on falsehoods or not. If they're targeted well enough, the intended audience won't report it either. And no, its not enough to evaluate content on the basis of "everyone knows". There are many things that "everyone knows" but are demonstrably false - for example, gun control laws are unlikely to change the number of people who die every year due to firearms. [1]

Google publicaly claims to penalize invasive and annoying ads such as interstitial ads while also encouraging their ad platform users to enable them on their sites. Google is large enough of an organization now that it can no longer coordinate a cohesive strategy.

I can’t speak for Facebook, but given the bad and deceptive advice Google’s ad representatives give, perhaps this story should be applauded.
I used to not really buy the ‘regulate them as utilities argument’, but now, reading stories like this, it seems to be the only way. The influence these platforms have and the conflicts they create for the owners and operators need to be clearly managed externally.

In my experience, as long as you rent from small time owners who have day jobs, you can leverage being a good tenant into at least not raising rents for a few years. Sometimes even getting a discount, because that’s how much of a headache bad tenants are.

If you rent from a big rental company, then they can absorb that risk so you lose out on those savings.

This article is awesome and super helpful, but that particular point seems like terrible advice. Surely it would be much better to hire a marketing/adwords contractor, and increase the value of your company by getting more customers.

I don't think I would want to purposefully leave any "room for improvement", just to make a startup more attractive to buyers who have some experience with ads and SEO. I'd prefer to do the best job I possibly can, and I'm sure people would be still interested in buying, as long as you have the customers and revenue.
I don’t think house prices are included in the consumer price index. Most governments tie social security payouts to CPI and are therefore motivated to change the CPI calculation method to minimize the rise.

If you dig down into what they actually measure all common economic indicators (GDP, PPP, CPI, ...) are B.S. They’re there to pretend that economics is a science, while in practice it’s more of an art, or a quackery, depending on your disposition.

I still don't know whether I am more shocked that I found it or that someone put it in the street like that. But since then I always examine such boxes of books, and I'm finding more books I find interesting than I have time to read. I just love the randomness of it.
If that's really the case, why do people spawn multiple instances of their app?

A python application can be anywhere from 10x to 50x slower than a native application. It also probably consumes at least 5x more memory.

Writing the same app in a compiled language is not even an optimization. It's just baseline work to ensure the code is not super slow.

Like, if you know you will sort a list of 10 items, choosing quicksort from the stdlib instead of bubble sort is not even an optimization. It's just common sense.
Because in nature, organisms don't grow to the limits of their environment, right? They willingly limit their growth so that all enlightened organisms can share equally in a workers paradise, amidst songs of empowerment and fraternity, while marching collectively towards a bold new future!

Yeah... no.

Evolution shows us that organisms do grow to the limits of their environment. A "capitalist" system is no different. Making thinly-veiled religious statements about the evils of capitalism means rhetoric is more important to you than understanding.

Edit: for the nay-sayers, who seem to have missed my point: These behaviors aren't a result of capitalism. Blaming capitalism, or using ideological rehetoric, is wrong. These behaviors are a result of reality. Of evolution. Of the Dariwnian struggle for existence.

Blaming capitalism for these behaviors makes no more sense than blaming capitalism for a disease like malaria. Malaria was around long before capitalism, or even people, existed.
It could also mean that they cut back on vacations and other ancillary spending.
The abstract of that study doesn't mention carbs. That's a very important detail. If you're eating a "normal" amount of carbs (like in the vast majority of studies of this type, even "low" can mean 25%), it is true that saturated fat makes it worse. But in other studies it has been shown to be the opposite with a fully ketogenic diet, i.e. when the body can't make glucose from carbs or protein and resorts to fat instead. Insulin _must_ be low for ketosis to happen. Insulin is also triggered by low sodium.

I cannot find a single study showing insuline resistance due to high fat consumption when consuming <5% of calories in carbs and <25% in protein.

> Are you trying find some injustice here?

I'm just asking questions/reasoning about the selection process.

> There's gotta be a higher number on my other cards, right?

Not implying anything. Since this is an interesting case, it warrants more scrutiny. It's human nature to pay more attention to things that go against the norm.

> I tell you that seven is highest number amongst the cards I have. Now you'll call that into question because... seven seems pretty low to you?

In this case, I'm asking to see your other cards, or at least get a general sense over the calibur of other cards. Also, selecting a person/people is also not as simple as selecting a number. Many factors at play. In the video, the Georgetown staff gave Mr. Hopwood more credibility for being incarcerated as "being on the inside". I certainly can understand that.

Of course there's a question of ethics. Perhaps Mr. Hopwood is in a position to where the risk of him having some latent criminal impulse (or exceptionally poor judgement) is minimized. I don't fully understand the impact of ethical responsibilities of a Law Professor. There are certainly many unethical Law professionals & I'm not implying that Mr. Hopwood is one. However, he does have a past criminal history, which in his case he may have fully reconciled. On average, previously convicted felons commit crimes more often than the general public.

The devil is in the details. I'm sure these are all considerations in the selection process. Maybe I have some initial reservations, which encourages me to investigate more.

Having skepticism & looking more into things does not make me a bad person. Having moral outrage to somebody who asks questions is morally questionable (in this case) at best; not saying that you are an immoral person. I'll go out on a limb & posit that Mr. Hopwood would agree with me.
