Shameless plug, https://louiscordier.com/the_3_book_of_louis/ I wrote it earlier this year and are tracking its adoption and spreading. It is hitting a plateau though, so now I am nudging it ;)

"The new business road test" - John Mullins "Will it fly" - Pat Flynn

"Start marketing" - Rob Walling (https://robwalling.com/assets/ebook.pdf) I recommend the article on "Why Startup Founders Should Stop Reading Business Books" ;)

(don't know where I got this...)

Ideas are worth nothing unless executed. They are just a multiplier. Execution is worth millions.

  Explanation:
  AWFUL IDEA           -1
  WEAK IDEA             1
  SO-SO IDEA            5
  GOOD IDEA            10
  GREAT IDEA           15
  BRILLIANT IDEA       20
  
  NO EXECUTION         $1
  WEAK EXECUTION       $1000
  SO-SO EXECUTION      $10,000
  GOOD EXECUTION       $100,000
  GREAT EXECUTION      $1,000,000
  BRILLIANT EXECUTION  $10,000,000

To make a business, you need to multiply the two.

The most brilliant idea, with no execution, is worth $20.

The most brilliant idea takes great execution to be worth $20,000,000.

That’s why I don’t want to hear people’s ideas.

I’m not interested until I see their execution.

Don't do what @BillGates push, sterilized mosquitoes. (sorry Bill) Rather accommodate and breed dragonflies instead. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Kx2im0ceCc

IIRC we did a digital control system for an electric motor drive circuit but that was a different subject: electric machines.

I failed control-systems in my third year. Was too focused on other more fun subjects. Maybe it is a fun issue?

Flying is like the physical internet, a true miracle in human evolution, step in and in a few short hours you step out on the other side of the world. And yet the insane complaints about lack of comfort, especially in Y, blows my mind. Finally some sanity in a thread about 192Y easyJet A320s.

Quoting flyingturtle (Reply 20): I'm 1.7 m (5.57742782 feet), and I felt more squeezed in a German long-distance bus than in any LCC I've ever flown. The bus ride? Six hours.

Less space is a positive thing. More junk is just a mental tax.

Also lactic-acid keeps other mouth bacteria under control, do we really want to mess with the balance?
