I guess this is obvious, but still gave me a minor epiphany on why experience matters so much. It gives you capacity to handle unforeseen situations by having reduced the cognitive load of all regular operations.

I was recently discussing the difference between experienced (10-20 years) nurses and younger nurses; the new ones do a great job, but they might stress and concentrate a lot to the job right, and don't always have the capacity to handle unforeseen situations with grace or the energy to handle the relatives of the patient too (I was a frequent visitor in a trauma care ward).
Oh, right. Thanks for the clarification.

Yes, "technical" clothing for regular use seems to be a unfilled niche. You either get stuff for trekking, or that awful "techwear" trend that makes you look like a ninja who's really into Nine Inch Nails, with a bit of tacticool prepper mixed in.

Uniqlo has some "techy" fabrics that don't look too out of place, but a slightly better quality and slightly higher age average wouldn't hurt (skinny fits, friggin' 7/8 pants).

I've experimented with Merino shirts and socks for traveling with carry on luggage, but they're just too damn fragile and develop small holes way too soon. Yes, maybe I didn't take care of them the right way, but not having to take care of them too much is pretty much the point...
US tarrifs were originally intended to hurt Britain, as the US had recently rebelled against them.

The tarrifs then increased during every war the US had with Britain.

It’s no surprise that the US talks of trade wars, due to the way its history of tarrif is entangled with warfare, and dislike of the nations a tarrif is aimed against,

I can’t comment on your last post because it was flagged but I wanted to at least reach out to you with this:

Some of the best coaching I received was from people that may have been deemed less successful, powerful or intelligent than I am but because they took the time to know me and saw my blind spots, they guided me to amazing insights. It was about a connection and relationship. I am forever thankful for their commitment to me. Many of these coaches are selflessly giving to others after having received coaching themselves, so my experience with coaching is different than you seem to imply.

Lastly, I hope you don’t harbor a belief that all success is based on the dark side of human nature; that all CEOs and leaders merely exploit others. That is clearly disproven from so many examples of amazing leaders. Honestly that sounds like a bitter, resentful existence that will make it hard to collaborate with others.

A platform is about integration, not necessarily the ability to run "apps". Take Amazon's Echo for example: solidly a platform, does not run any apps per se.
Instead our brains pocket the technological advance and start to move on to higher order stuff.

I'm not so sure they really do. But I'm also not sure what you mean with 'higher order stuff'. Anyway I see just so many examples of technology not leading to people doing more complicated/smarter/... stuff. I just see people doing what they always do, but in a different way. Some use technology to get creative, others to gain knowledge, others just don't use those capibilities and instead watch hours and hours of TV commercials or subpar sitcoms. Pretty sure without all the tech the creative people would still be creative and the seekers would still seek. Sure there might be slight shifts here and there, there can be more time to spare on different things enabled by technology, but I'm really skeptical there are major changes (though if you have links to research proving otherwise by all means share).

You’re a much ‘purer’ coach than I am, in the sense that I provide a lot more business advice and fewer questions [1]. Even so, I wholeheartedly agree with your observation that it is the personal fears and self-work that is most impacting these leaders and their businesses.

I also acknowledge your reference to your own coach. It amazes me (and I’ve been doing this since 2006) how many other business coaches I meet who don’t see the value in having their own coach. That says a lot about a career (I wouldn’t call us a profession) that is loaded with unqualified shonks.

I look forward to re-reading this piece many times. Thanks.

My earphones are two years old and can be paired to dozens (I’ve not yet hit a hard limit) of devices and can be connected to two sources concurrently with the ability to swap connections between any of the other active devices on the fly using the earphones iPhone app (so you’re not manually disconnecting devices).

As an audiophile I also don’t think Sony are the greatest example because in my experience Sony haven’t been making the best audio equipment for several decades (despite their price point and cult following).
I would argue the opposite. Audiobooks/podcasts keep me alert in dull driving situations. And whenever a situation arises that demands my full attention, I (subconsciously) stop paying attention to the audio for ~30s until the situation is fully resolved. I would say it net-increases safety at least on long-distance/commute.

From "Major Causes of Injury Death and the Life Expectancy Gap Between the United States and Other High-Income Countries" - https://doi.org/10.1001/jama.2015.15564

> This study estimated the contribution of 3 causes of injury death to the gap in life expectancy at birth between the United States and 12 comparable countries in 2012. We focused on motor vehicle traffic (MVT) crashes, firearm-related injuries, and drug poisonings, the 3 largest causes of US injury death responsible for more than 100 000 deaths per year.

> Men in the comparison countries had a life expectancy advantage of 2.2 years over US men (78.6 years vs 76.4 years), as did women (83.4 years vs 81.2 years). The injury causes of death accounted for 48% (1.02 years) of the life expectancy gap among men. Firearm-related injuries accounted for 21% of the gap, drug poisonings 14%, and MVT crashes 13%.

- put their keys into assiciative arrays

- loop through the arrays and build a list of unmatched keys

At least there were BBS's and magazines back then for some lucky people, especially in the US I guess. In the beginning of the 80s I had 1 book (it came with the computer) and just the help of some friendly older hackers at a 'local' (fair bit away; my parents had to drive me) event. There were no magazines in any local shops yet, books were expensive and mostly not geared towards learning and they were in English (not my native language; although I am sure I aced English on my final highschool exam because of reading mostly English day in day out).

The first years I had to learn like this and from experimentation. After a while I had 'viditel'[0], which allowed downloading short programs and games which I could study. I remember spending weekends just changing the source code until I understood what it did; this was especially painful with poke/peek; trying to figure our what addresses did what was painful without help as exploring would more often than not hang the computer.

The advantage was; when you knew things, you were sure they would not be different next year (or 20 years later for that matter) on that computer. So once you got the hang of things, you basically could do them 'forever' (the IBM PC was there but it was garbage compared to some of the homecomputers and as a kid I couldn't see that ever taking off :). Very different from now. It was not really possible to 'update' the OS (although I still have my eprom writer from that time and it still works, so I could definitely install new hacked versions of basic, but that was a lot later).

When the BBSs became normal here, things started to go a lot quicker. I ran my own one and worked with people to write our own BBS software in turbo pascal.

Really quite a shame all the source code of the games, demos and bbs software got lost. I sold my second computer and foolishly sold all tapes + disks with it, also from my first system (which I still have, but without my own software). I didn't care as I was going to upgrade to an Amiga so I did not want that old stuff anymore.

> never run out of battery or require charging,

that's true, plus I couldn't use them while they're charging, so if I forget it's a big issue.

That is something that could happen.

I'm no audiophile so I'd probably spend less to still get a decent pair.

Okay.

> They're neat wireless headphones. Among the best wireless headphones probably. But that's still all they are.

Okay.

Why Kids Online Are Chasing ‘Clout’
But, why do you say same-aged children? In the generally smaller communities of the past having [lots of] children of the same year of age would be much rarer.

In the village I grew up in the out-of-school friend groups were often across several years of age; and that's from a background of schooling.

Kids I know now, that are non-schooled, have very broad age-groups of friends and seem, to me, to be much more comfortable with company of any age.

Another aspect is that the drivers are actually legally hindered (in many of areas) of an ability to check the paper map as they drive, so it's either you learn and memorize the whole way or stop the car to check; or you can have GPS to provide you with voice guidance or quick glance of which turn to take.

I use the same argument for people learning how to ride motorbikes when they live in London or another urban area: start on a scooter, so you negotiate traffic and learn positioning without worrying about gears and clutch, and are able to make tight turns without fear of dropping a bike.

Once you're confident in traffic, switching to a geared bike is much easier. Learn one big new thing at a time.
The AirPods themselves have no UI (Siri isn't a viable replacement, sorry) so you'd most likely still have a device nearby like phone/watch/etc from where you can control it so might as well stream the content from it and do away with the need for LTE.

Wi-Fi would be quite useful though, so they can keep working outside of Bluetooth range (big house, office building, etc) by falling back to the Wi-Fi and talking to the phone over it.
No, I wouldn't have sold off in the first place either. You;re entirely right on the politics though. Post war had the post war consensus, and until the demise of Heath, One Nation Conservatism. They hadn't discovered globalism and neoliberalism, would still see benefit in putting Britain first -- it was the Tories who nationalised Rolls Royce, who decided not to undo the NHS in 51, etc. When only one side thinks nationalised should exist at all, well, it gets doomed to fail. Water and a few other natural monopolies might survive as I suspect few on the right still claim those as successes.

You might be right about regionalism being needed first, I'm not sure. Seems like we should try and regain both, and need both, so Liverpool and Manchester can work together and get a new railway, or compete and brief against each other and end up with the Manchester Ship Canal. Whitehall's only involvement in those essentially limited to saying "OK". The Whitehall conceived, planned and delayed "northern powerhouse", that has both Liverpool and Manchester mayors tearing their hair out at how little input their cities get just marks it as the usual, never fully delivered, centralised horseshit for the regions...
I’m getting heavily downvoted for that comment and I do understand the appeal of Apple hardware (I happen to be bought into the Apple ecosystem as well) but as an audiophile who’s always shopped around for equipment over the last 3 decades I can assure you there are plenty of other companies out there releasing good products. Some, in fact, are even out innovating Apple. But you often have to shop around to find them.

For example last week I was playing around with some cans which literally mapped the inside of your ear then created a unique sound profile for the wearer (they also did all the same features as AirPods too).

Very interesting idea! I like the approach but have concerns around the time spent to understand the constraints and perform the task.

I highly recommend spending a bunch of money on a well-constructed waterproof shell. My last Gore-Tex jacket lasted 13 years before finally breaking down in one of the pit zips. And pretty much every time I put it on, I was really glad to have it for the comfort it provided in cold, wet, or windy conditions.

You just need to be realistic about what a “breathable” shell can do. If you’re moving enough that you would be sweating without a shell, then of course adding a shell is just going to make the situation much worse. In practice this often means that I’ll be wearing just a thin base layer when I’m actually moving, and often prefer to get rained on than drenched in my own sweat. And then as soon as I stop and my body temperature starts to drop, the shell and extra thermal layers come out.

To me breathability is less important than a number of other factors like hood design, size, weight, durability, looks, how it feels against bare skin, venting options, zippers, etc.
I don't know a whole lot about Amazon internals, but from what I've heard teams tend to be independent and, in a sense, in competition with one another.

It seems like this would create the classic tragedy of the commons situation we are seing where increased sales are chalked up as a win for some teams, but the whole company pays in negative sentiment.
GPS is most useful in urban environments (though skyscrapers are a PITA) with lots of one-way streets, restricted junctions etc. Long road trips hardly need a GPS at all, particularly if you're using motorways, as you can go a dozen miles between intersections and you may only change direction every two or three hundred miles.
Beautiful! Strangely enough, when I was about 14 I used to make music using Reason 3. My friends and I would upload it to a shared MySpace. Two of them went on to become professional musicians, and a couple of years ago when browsing a forum for their fans I found someone had uploaded a .zip of songs ripped off the old MySpace, including songs I had made and lost!

And that's exactly what makes them easier to use and better sounding if you don't sit still.

Wires get caught in clothes and tend to pull on the earbuds. They scrape and bang against clothes, chin, neck and chest, making a lot of noise in the process.

Does that mean I'm going to pay hundereds for headphones or believe in Excalibur - sorry AirPods - as a platform any time soon? Unlikely. I guess I'll just continue to put up with the occasional bluetooth pairing issues.

Last week I had a package show up with six 5lb weight plates, a book and toothpaste in the same big box.

Even if the toothpaste hadn't been crushed to the point of failing and getting everywhere, the book was completely mangled by 30 pounds of weight plates sliding around in an oversized box for God only knows how long.
