With regard to personal scams: Anyone with elderly relatives will know the amount of scamming that they are often targeted with. My parents regularly received calls from purported Microsoft call centres that try to get them to install troja

My former boss (CTO of a large multinational Electronics company) once explained to me that 'true' (unrestrained) R&D is only possible if you have a monopoly and want to lower your margins to avoid antitrust scrutiny. This ri

His work is even more inspirational after reading this rant, as he describes the therapeutic aspect of his projects and his base emotions. Still, I can't help but excuse my inferior output by admiring his incredible fine motor skills

Visited my 93yo father in the hospital today, who struggled to recover after a surgery and remembered that a book called 'My Friend Mr Leakey' was his favourite book as a child. I brought it along and read it to him aloud. Magical

Another example of Ann Wroe's wonderful obituaries in the Economist and the way how she details in such a humane way how (often forgotten) pioneers, visionaries shaped the world we live in. And so many briliant small tales in one page

In 2013 I was at I/O, when Larry Page stood on stage and allowed questions from the audience. It was enlightening and he gave a clear vision of the future. I have no idea what Sundar Pichai stands for. He still seems like someone work

Lovely story. I once wrote a small medium piece on how it would be great if coders of simulations incorporate spirituality/religion that would be fair to the objects in the simulation. It included Java code - because as buggy as the Un

In my experience this is the single best essay on how to get to product/market fit as a startup. Short read, great examples, killer recommendations. I use it as the starter point for startups and innovation departments that I work with
