Software might be eating the world, I don't think people will eat software anytime soon.
It's a good reminder that we can't solve all problems by just throwing some code at it. Unfortunately ...
Wonder if there are ways to disrupt digital lenses while being innocuous to human eye.
I think there's great value in making sure the product is a bit more intuitive to unlock some interesting markets, beyond data science.
This doesn't fit in the 'a gun is a tool' mindset, it's fetishism, pure and simple.
Facebook then came along and followed the playbook with the social buttons.
Brilliant move, regardless of how we feel about that.
(I may have been a B52 pilot in the past, indiscriminately bombing left and right)
Here you go. Good luck, it's 80 questions. (My pet theory is that going through all those questions is already an answer in itself)
While this isn't a great news in itself, I'm grateful that I've been able to benchmark my oddness. Now that I know, it's easier for me to be more self aware and prevent my weird half to do stupid things.
I still trip and fall, and probably will keep doing that forever, but I'me better at falling without hurting myself too much. Sometimes it does drive me to a light paranoia but still working on the tuning of the feedback loop.
I haven't fully digested this yet, a bit tough to swallow at nearly 30 yo but hey that's life.
Also, as a result, I don't fit too well into corporate environments and therefore, for the sake of my own baseline happiness, should keep them at bay.
But it's also extremely egalitarian. Everyone is on the same, whether you be an old* or a new*.
I don't partake but I like to dive in and observe them. Fascinating, because as much as we'd like to deny it, 4chan is the whole spectrum of humanity.
Much like what Instagram is trying now (hiding other people's likes count) or this very platform, doing away with those metrics should help foster better conversations.
It worked so well (for the heavy phone consumers) that the company tried its best to buy those contracts back / move those folks on a more profitable plan.
There's something about being able to have that precision, getting close to the ground while maintaining velocity which is mind boggling.
Add to that the "thought leaders", the quotes and other FB-ish artefacts, without forgetting a constant stream of brown-nosing and if you have 20% of the content that is interesting, you can consider yourself lucky.
In contrast, I hang in an industry specific slack with folks all over the world and it's so much better. I don't have a solution to offer with regards to an open platform, but I think curated communities are the way to go.
They went fast to beat Airbus, cheap as the total cost of the package (plane + training + etc ...) and therefore quality takes a hit.
It happens everywhere but I think we were all under the assumption that surely this industry wouldn't stoop as low.
I've been told a while ago that the engineering of planes involved a fair amount of "duct-tape" (used loosely here) to make all of it work despite the risk involved. I didn't think much of it.
Now I sure have a different take on those words. While growing up plane crashes that happened were rare or their own kind of event(9/11, german pilot suicide, MH370). Therefore people around my age (30) might have bigger faith in planes than one should expect from travelling in hundred of tons of metal, composite materials and fuel going 500+ MPH in the sky.
