The way I see it, maybe there is a misunderstanding going on,
Or maybe Navient's publicity materials are too touchy-feely.
According to the article, Navient is a private company,
So shouldn't they have an expectation of return on
Investment. This is not the U.S. government, which may
Forgive debt.
Another point is why the hunger for expensive education,
Which may be a Marxist critique, but since when did
A credential make you a better software designer.
People are dying all over the globe, and we are worried
About the top 20 percent wage earners of the superpower
USA.
Bezos is an outlier case, since every hedge fund is
Watching if he buys or sells Amazon stock.
There are successful publically traded companies that do
Not care anymore. Seagate comes to mind. I remember a
Pronouncement from the CEO a few years ago, in which
He said that our customers use our product to store
Porn. In other words, please don't invest in our
Company anymore.
The stereotypical image of the CEO is that they are
Backslappers and they play golf.
Not so in Silicon Valley I suppose.
The main factor I see for CEOs in a startup is
Time horizon. If you want to be around for thirty
Years, have fun, and incidentally build a useful
Product - you will do things differently.
The Steve Jobs/ Sun Tzu type of anecdote is the best.
If you spend 50 percent of your time on strategy or
Thinking, it is for the best.
A final point is that keeping a good attitude is
Important, not just for you but also for your team.
This is often underestimated.
I'm glad I read this story because I find it surreal,
And I read a lot. Obviously Jeff Koons and perhaps
Even Damien Hirst have assistants. This apprentice
Model was also there in the Renaissance, and if
Michelangelo painted the Sistine Chapel all by himself,
Then that was probably his own choice.
David Hockney is painting on an iPad these days, and I
suppose printing it out on a commercial inkjet.
So what is an original then. Just limiting the
number of copies printed.
Tuition is very expensive in the U.S.. People take loans
because they are banking on the future. They think that
Even with debt they will come out ahead.
I'm new on this site, but I assume that most people
on this site are computer programmers or are tech savvy
enough to get a job that pays a decent wage.
I'm Canadian, but you should also look at the bright side
Of US education. There is no Canadian Caltech. If you
step out and start a business in America, it is
Considered entrepreneurial and a good thing.
It's good for programmers to be competent. But what
About those who are competent but still cut corners.
I'm all for training unless it becomes a requirement
Which you absolutely need to get a job.
An extensively researched talk. I hope people like
Boredom and ennui. What are you going to do when
Most labour is done by robots, and you sit at home
Collecting a monthly cheque from the government.
I know this is provocative, but many occupations
Are simply busywork.
I do think robot armies can be hacked, so try not to
Centralize everything.
Is the argument that people do not know what is best, or
That it doesn't matter?
People are an incredibly broad range, from the
Homeless gentleman lying on a heating vent, to the
hedge fund billionaire who does not waste a quarter,
Because he knows what it will be worth compounded
For thirty years. Granted I have used outliers to
make my argument.
So much legal thinking that my brain is bursting.
Government has one legal and one illegal avenue.
They can use plausible denial and say that post-Snowden
Everything is better.
The legal argument would be that everyone in the world
Is spying on us, so we have to keep up with what
foreign powers know about the U.S.To be sarcastic, the
CIA does not want to buy its intelligence from
Great Britain and Russia.
Burnout happens when you're doing what you don't like.
Grinding down, going against the grain. The techniques
I use to deal with stress are:
Zazen - Japanese Zen meditation. If it was good enough
For Japanese samurai fighting duels, then my life is
So easy compared to this.
Painting - very relaxing and fun, but then you need to like
It. Mileage may vary.
Some people can afford Rolls and they pay extra for
Finish and quality. The Mac Pro is such a device. I
Personally don't think you can farm it out and get the
Same results.
Competition at the high end of the graphics market is
bad since the Amiga went off the market. The Amiga
Embarrassed Apple to try harder, but now what.
I personally need a PC because I am studying to be a
Trader. I would love to own a Mac Pro and work on this
Machine.
