Its more coffee break entertainment to me. Its not well designed for anything else. You can get some decent feedback on what you have built or something you are thinking about from the tech crowd here. Beyond that not much. No one goes to t

Most people also don't realize telcos rake in more revenue than the entire tech sector. And that it is no where close to enough to maintain or upgrade the pipes. Cloud has been built on lot of assumptions that are close to breaking poi

Similar things were said about globalization too. That borders and boundaries would evaporate. But we can see many boundaries and divisions getting reinforced. These are huge dynamical systems. Like hurricanes beyond a point they are hard t

It's not a static world. Things are always changing. It's not the Data Wild West anymore. As corporate robots get more and more entangled with the unintended and unpredictable consequences and costs of handling too much personal d

Interesting theory. Do you think Wikipedia is an example of a work around?

Maybe question could be - what to do about those people who have high loss aversion, status seeking traits, mindless ambition etc baked deep into their code? How to handle these type of people when they stumble upon something useful to ever

It's called signalling. The chimp troupe has a wide variety of chimps with different needs. How do you find the ones where needs align? You send out such signals.

It doesn't matter. "Bad" is always relative to what problems the chimp brain spends its time solving.

No one has educated anyone sitting in the middle of a circus full of novelty, over stimulation, distractions and interruptions. Yes "Education" requires patient teachers, but it also requires a very specific environment without al

No party is going to solve the problems the US chooses to occupy itself with currently. They are too complex. The right move is to just pick simpler problems. There is an upper limit to what level of complexity any group can handle. But Ame

Make good friends. The beauty of a university campus is subject matter experts on anything are close by. I used to think that Internet would make this easier but it's not the same as running into friends(with diff expertise) on campus

Not sure where I heard this but games apparently, on a total revenue basis, rake in more than all other categories of software combined. That was no were close to true back in the day.

'Drill and kill' doesn't just work. It's a requirement to Learning. Most learning happens only through repeatition/practice. Get them comfortable with repeatition as early as possible and they will be fine.

Good suggestion. I had to look up some govt pdfs and tables recently and the government sites hosting the files hardly ever show up on the first page on Google anymore. It's a sad story.

It's a tool that enables someone who is too dumb to understand how dumb he is, to find the largest group of people on the planet, who are dumber than him. And exploit said group. In the past you needed an army or huge amounts of corpor

Gregory Batson's theory was groups stay together despite all kinds of difference amongst members because of shared Rituals. A sort of irrational, repatitive activity, that the whole chimp troupe can perform irrespective of differences

Online resources are not very different than having access to good libraries. Great libraries have existed for thousands of years but you won't find examples, anywhere in the world, where kids are just left at the library to learn. One

It's the wrong way to think. The underlying assumption of this type of thinking is, the type of problem you are handed doesn't matter. There are so many problems the best ppl or teams cannot solve. What do you think they then do i

Well our chimp troupe has no dearth of mindlessly ambitious chimps, who end up in the positions of "power" and have no clue what to do after they land up there, given the complexities we face. So I just feel bad for them. It'

The US and NATO knew about troop build up 5 months back. They are as inept as the Russians in controlling/producing outcomes. The whole story is about men, pretending they have control over things that they have no control over. So the
