Delegate everything by Seth Godin
The opportunity is to use leveraged delegation to create opportunities that cannot possibly be delegated. To make our craft more particular, more human and more distinctive.
The alternative is to race to the bottom. That’s no fun.
To be able to delegate well, is one of the first things I learnt when I joined TCS all those years back. Delegating well is a skill. You may choose not to delegate if you want to pick up a skill for example. Otherwise delegate it.
Universe Expansion May Be Slowing, Not Accelerating, Study Suggests - Slashdot by
Our study shows that the universe has already entered a phase of decelerated expansion at the present epoch and that dark energy evolves with time much more rapidly than previously thought
Big Crunch anyone?
Some time back I had read this book - The end of everything by Katie Mack. It was an awesome book. Big Crunch was the first of the ways everything ends.
Epic and Google agree to settle their lawsuit and change Android’s fate globally by Sean Hollister
Google is agreeing to reduce its standard fee to 20 percent or 9 percent, depending on the kind of transaction. It’s agreeing to create a new program in the very next version of Android where alternative app stores can register with Google and (theoretically) become first-class citizens that users can easily install. And it appears to be agreeing to offer “Registered App Stores” and lower fees around the world, not just in the US, through June 2032 — six and a half years from now.
The hope is that Apple would do something similar, worldwide and skip this process everywhere. That would require a new leader, I think.
One thing that was not clear to me was that they mentioned this is up to 2032. What would happen after that? I don’t see them going back from this.
OLED MacBook Air Expected to Follow Touch Screen OLED MacBook Pro by Tim Hardwick
Apple is expected to update the MacBook Air with M5 chips early next year and that model will continue to feature an LCD display. If Apple follows an annual upgrade cycle, the first OLED MacBook Air will likely feature M7 chips. Gurman previously reported that Apple has already started early work on an OLED MacBook Air.
My next Mac is here. I have an M1. This would be a good age for this product.
Imagine what the internet would look like today if, in its early regulatory moments, our elected representatives had demanded privacy, rather than trying to ban it. Sure, some corporations would have spied on us anyway, and criminals would have done their best to compromise our privacy, but criminals and rogue firms wouldn't have been able to attract capital to engage in conduct that was likely to give rise to massive fines and criminal prosecutions for violating the privacy laws Congress never bothered to write for us.
The thought I had when reading this was the thought I had when comparing subscribing via RSS vs email. In the email subscription method, you know who the subscriber is. With RSS you don’t know anything.
Which is good in a way. But I as an author don’t have any information. It feels as if I am shouting into the void. Which is ok too. I need to be fine with it.
The point is that the article talked about encryption as a thing that makes the internet privacy positive.
