Can't help but feel like this intellectual exercise is built on a bed of survivorship bias. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Survivorship_bias

"We can't trust anything and so we trust nothing but our pre-existing biases" Oh man, you just articulated something nagging at me about deepfakes that I hadn't been able to.

Clair Patterson's story is ridiculously good. This Mental Floss article is my go-to share whenever he comes up. It's long, but a bit shorter than a dissertation :) Although I have saved the linked dissertation here to go through i

Very nice post, however, I recall a bit differently... "I might be wrong, but I've always attributed this primarily to Apple." RIM and BBM had a four year head start on Apple messaging. Unless Apple had a pre-mobile messaging

Good question. Here's the best summary I found. Note, it's an article from 2012. Search "facebook dual class stock structure" if you want to see much more that has been written on the topic. "A string of voting arra

Accountable is a good word for it. Accountability can't be shared, while responsibility can be. BTW, I had to look up RACI matrix as I've only ever heard of it. Is this a popular project tool at the moment? Do you use it?

That heuristic from Weinberg is excellent. I think that illustrates the point we were discussing above in a much clearer way. Thanks for bringing him to light. I was completely ignorant of him before your comment and look forward to looking

A question since you mention directors: Does Facebook's board of director's have any power over Zuckerberg?

I get that. I really do. I appreciate our conversation here so let me add a bit more color. I'm a big fan of systems thinking. My friends get on me for it, but I wholly believe "if you aren't thinking about the system, you ar

Thank you for correcting me and providing the historical context.

Said much clearer than me originally. Thank you.

I will push back here though. You pointed out above it isn't Zuckerberg alone who is responsible. It's a systemic effect with many involved. I wrote my original post off the cuff. I might edit it to say that Zuckerberg, as the CEO

You're right. Thanks for calling that out.

Flip this perspective. Zuckerberg has iron-clad control of FB. He could unilaterally decide that quarterly profits, hell, any profits, do not matter and there is nothing anyone could do. Keep that in mind when it's discussed that FB ca

"Hacking at the ideas of others (whether rightly or wrongly) without presenting any superior alternatives seems shallow to me." This sounds like the idea some manager have of "don't bring me a problem unless you have a s

That's true. In this case, a broader search will show you that in spite of the potential conflict, the research seems solid.

Dietary cholesterol has little impact on blood cholesterol. Yes, it's confusing as the names are the same. Yes, high blood cholesterol can lead to heart disease. But here's the thing, the body synthesizes its own cholesterol. Main

Really good point. My high-level take away though is that it is directionally correct regarding Twitter and its (mis)management.

For a counterpoint on Campbell as a terrific business coach read "Hatching Twitter" [1]. He was hired as Ev Williams' coach and the picture the book paints is bad. Working more for the board of directors instead the person he

That's not to say naps have no benefit for people who don't have trouble sleeping at night. Walker's research shows that naps can help boost memory and learning. https://news.berkeley.edu/2010/02/22&

Dr. Lustig has some good insights. Two caveats on him: 1) He is an evangelist about the dangers of fructose, which is ubiquitous in the Standard American Diet (SAD) 2) I gather that he has a few positions that are not unreasonable but are a
