Are the lessons you have distilled applicable to other institutions in society which decline due to corruption? How is corruption different from your concept of financial gravity?
What I think is surprising about this article is that I would expect the top HN comment to call out that it's an advertorial for the Turkish hair replacement industry. It's like something you'd usually find on the Yahoo News page - the only reason it seems to have survived on the front page of HN is because it's in Wired and it's got the word hack used inappropriately in both title and body. If I can't rely on HN to sniff out the paid BS, what do I have to do, figure it out myself?
I believe your words should be your own. I refuse to let ai strip my words of their idiosyncrasy. I refuse to put my words into a machine that robs them of their humanity. They are mine, they are me. Working with a human editor is an act of love and creation. Working with an AI editor is an act of mediocrity and sacrificed originality.
Funny, I use this myself, particularly in HN. I think there is a corollary though, which goes something like "Headlines which ask a question are more likely to attract attention when the subject is of interest to the reader." or "Headlines which leave an unclosed loop cause an impulse to find the solution."
Yeah, I think what I have in mind is more along the lines of creating a defined goal that people need to achieve in a limited amount of time. Think carrying a sandbag for 20 miles by handing it off between the participants. E.g. pushing themselves physically or mentally, with some time constraints, and helping each other in the process.
Posting this question in a slightly different way than I did before. My theory is that it is possible to deliberately structure an experience within 48 hours or so to create a lifelong bond on a team of 4-5 people. I'm trying to figure out what the elements of that experience would be so I'm using a handy AI tool to help me do the research.
I'm doing some research for a book on team bonding. If you have ever been on a highly bonded team and have ideas about what circumstances led to the bonding I'd love your thoughts.
We've seen this before. Lots of investments in the '99 runup had ad buys associated with them which did the same kind of double counting. The example would be Yahoo investing in some startup at an inflated valuation, paying for some or all of the investment with ad inventory priced arbitrarily and which was, for Yahoo, free to produce. Lots of things led to the 2001 crash, but valuation distorting shenanigans like that didn't help. To the extent it feeds through to Microsoft, Google, and Amazon valuations the AI dynamic could follow a similar pattern.
This study by Arthur Aaron on closeness drove all kinds of media attention and still gets cited all over the place. Does anyone know if it has ever been replicated?
Consumer debt to disposable income is low vs. average. It may trend up but my take is that bigger thing at play here is historically low unemployment. Good news, in other words.
Does anyone know if the 2019 law opens hospitals to civil action or whether individuals can be awarded some portion of the fines for reporting as in whistleblower cases? If so, that could be a decent alignment of incentives to get the hospitals to comply.
DM me - I'm an American non-technical startup guy who went over there in 2018 and met most of the VCs and interesting startups. I joined a great one and launched the US business for them. Happy to make introductions.
I've joined the great resignation and have been interviewing for senior roles. Most of them require a presentation in advanced rounds. I've been using a designer to produce agency-level presentations based on my outlines, text, and sketches. 10 slides for $250.
This is solid advice - thanks. One of the things they mentioned is that this would help prevent botnets. Would OAuth also do that? Also - does the opensource, non-profit status change the dynamics?
