Aside from the gallon of blood and pound of flesh we'll see called for in the public/political arena, I really doubt there's any viable fix that won't require pilot training. As I understand, the 737-MAX blunder is at th

After observing the iterative process of modeling complex dynamic systems this resonated: >“The point of the story,” Rebonato continued, “is that you always come to data with a structural model behind”—meaning some preconception of cause

I think across the board, Boomers generally haven’t handled the passing of the reins well. This will be a big problem when there are emergency appointments to leadership who haven’t been groomed. At a time when they should be retiring makin

Unimaginable as this may be, there are trains in Japan sporting green velour seating and wood(?) paneling. They are pristine and glorious-- a far cry from the hard plastics and vinyl we've come accustomed elsewhere to see as appropriat

I think the biggest reasons WeWork was never a tech company was because they were a real estate company...look at their capital expenditures. Usually, a large part of the ability for tech startups (specifically software) being able to scale

"Everything is urgent," and "Bypassing process to report issues" I think have roots in an inability to appreciate the "Cost of Delay" (and Cost of Delay Divided by Duration) between items of work. Consequently,

Of course :) Is it a question of perceived value for you vs limited time/friction or something else? Are there any things in your stack you wish were automatic if someone made that for you today?

I'm curious about any sort of struggles you (or anyone else too!) run into with deep tool/service stacks like this. I'm currently working on an inbox as an app platform. We want to easily kick off cron jobs and other automati

He was ready to retire anyway and I think he's getting out of dodge while the going is good. He successfully launched their streaming service, and if I were him, I'd also want to get as far away as possible from the hospitality in

Oh it gets better: Farallon Capital Management (the company he founded) had a major stake in Kinder Morgan which owned the Trans Mountain Pipeline. KMP owned Trans Mountain until 2018 when they sold it to the Canadian government. Why does t

I'm a little skeptical: I see value in 5G for higher fidelity streaming of many kinds, but they may be over-stating the total economic boost here as the areas of growth being claimed strike me as IoT-heavy use cases ("mobility, he

This isn't going to lend much insight without a distribution by job title/seniority and compositions of the total comp. (As others have already pointed out about RSUs, bonuses, options, etc potentially playing a big part). Further

It makes a lot of sense for Benesse to get into online education, let's see if they can do something that works with Udemy. It might help Udemy as well to get Berlitz co-branding on some content on the platform and start a path that&#x

These sort of systems for desk workers is the equivalent of measuring productivity by lines of code. Completely misses the point of generating value.

Logistics is obviously a solved problem by this point, but I'm guessing the underlying cause here may have to do with a talent drain during the preceding overall contraction of the music industry. I'd figure physical distribution

The money is great, of course, but a piece of me wonders every time I see this sort of thing if spending time managing these endeavors directly would be more impactful towards the goal.

Generally, it’s helpful to follow the 80/20 rule and time-box whatever you’re willing to allocate per week and no more. Do this and only the most valuable things rise up. People have a funny way of filling up the time they’re given, so

I generally agree, however I don’t think we should extrapolate trends in Japanese corporate culture from gaming companies. The origin of most of them are gambling syndicates (if you catch my drift) and I don’t think they would reflect the m

It’s easy to fall into the trap of thinking a pivot is a failure and therefore bad. What’s important is that by killing an idea, you’re giving yourself a new opportunity rather than chasing after sunk costs. Fear of failure is very common a

When the day comes to pass, we will definitely need to have 2 things: 1) a way to keep debt securitization under control. The rate we saw institutions repackage loans and "insure" them with paper was astronomical and would be dwar
