„Ta panta rhei”. Citatul îi aparține filosofului grec presocratic Heraclit din Efes și înseamnă că totul se află într-un flux, nimic nu rămâne neschimbat. Trăim într-o lume a variabilelor, în care totul curge și se transformă, de la timp și până la materie. Cei mai mulți acceptăm această realitate ca pe una general valabilă și totuși […]

If you need to add a word to the dictionary, it's pretty clear where it goes. The dictionary is a handy reminder of how taxonomies work. The words aren't sorted by length, or frequency or date of first usage. They're sorted by how they're spelled. This makes it easy to find and organize.
The alphabet is an arbitrary taxonomy, without a lot of wisdom built in (are the letters in that order because of the song?).
It's way more useful to consider taxonomies that are based on content or usage.
Almost everything we understand is sorted into some sort of taxonomy. Foods, for example: we understand intuitively that chard is close to spinach, not chicken, even though the first two letters are the same.
The taxonomy of food helps you figure out what to eat next, because you understand what might be a replacement for what's not available.
Shopify has more in common with Udemy (both tech startups) than it does with the Bank of Canada (both based in Ottawa).
Your job, if you want to explain a field, if you want to understand it, if you want to change it, is to begin with the taxonomy of how it's explained and understood.
Once you understand a taxonomy, you've got a chance to re-organize it in a way that is even more useful.
Too often, we get lazy and put unrelated bullet points next to each other, or organize in order of invention. For example, we teach high school biology before (and separate from) chemistry, even though you can't understand biology without chemistry (and you can certainly understand chemistry without biology). We do this because we started working on biology thousands of years before we got smart about chemistry, and the order stuck.
The reason an entrepreneur needs a taxonomy is that she can find the holes, and figure out how to fill them.
And a teacher needs one, because creating a mental model is the critical first step in understanding how the world works.
If you can't build a taxonomy for your area of expertise, then you're not an expert in it.

În episodul trecut v-am povestit despre cele două teorii, fundamental diferite, care se confruntau la jumătatea secolului trecut. Una dintre ele presupunea un început al timpului și Universului, cealaltă presupunea un Univers staționar, fără început și fără sfârșit. A fost o dezbatere aprinsă în epocă, între susținătorii celor două ipoteze. Din fericire în știință adevărul […]

Adopţia serviciilor în cloud este accelerată, cu toate acestea puţine sunt companiile care reuşesc să îşi maximizeze investiţia în ele, relevă un studiu realizat la comanda Cisco. Aproape 68% dintre organizaţii folosesc servicii în cloud în activitatea de zi cu zi, cu 61% mai multe faţă de anul trecut. Creşterea se datorează apariţiei aplicaţiilor cloud native, inclusiv aplicaţii de securitate şi Internet of Things (IoT).

Concluzie după 3 zile de Europa FM Live pe Plajă: dacă aveți cumva ocazia să-i vedeți pe Carla’s Dreams în vreun concert, nu ratați.
Sigur, toate trupele au fost extraordinare și toți artiștii au fost nemaipomeniți – pe bune, chiar au fost grozavi – dar, repet: dacă se-ntâmplă, cumva… nu-i pierdeți. Sunt din altă ligă, efectiv. Au o prezență scenică hipnotică și un sound mult, mult mai rock decât radio-editurile difuzate de toată lumea, chitaristul lor are un balans de cobră când dă drumul la solo-uri, solistul un soi de dans întrerupt, ca inspirat dintr-un blockbuster cu zombies, când avansează pe limba scenei – una peste alta, fac show, nu se joacă, iar publicul e-n delir.
Încă un lucru: Carla’s, Zdob și Zdub, Nicoleta Nucă, Mihail – sunt câteva prezențe foarte puternice în peisajul nostru muzical, toate venite de peste Prut. Nu știu care-o fi explicația (cineva-mi spunea că din cauza sărăciei, n-ai altă șansă decât creativitatea ca să scapi de ea) dar mă bucur că se-ntâmplă.
Și multă, multă lume la concerte.

One of the easiest ways to build a positive personal P&L is to re-establish your monthly expenses at a dramatically lower level.
If you cut your burn rate to the bone, you suddenly will find the freedom to say 'no' to work that drains you and doesn't build your reputation. And perhaps you can say goodbye to the stress that might be paralyzing you.

Harrison Ford was a carpenter before he was the biggest star in the universe.
George Lucas needed carpentry work on a door in the studio. Harrison Ford knew Fred Roos who was working for Lucas.
Ford had briefly known Lucas because he played a small role in the movie, “American Graffiti” (remember that pre-Star Wars Lucas movie?). But Lucas had already sworn he would not have anyone from that movie in his “space” movie.
Fred Roos was the casting director for Star Wars. He said about Ford: “Ford knew carpentry, needed the money, had kids, I decided to help him out.”
Harrison Ford was 35 years old then. A failed actor.
Lucas met with Ford while he was working on the door.
Ford was skeptical. “My best friend in the movie is a tall guy in a dog suit.” He didn’t think Star Wars would be a hit.
A year or two later, Harrison Ford shot at Mark Hamill’s father, enabling Luke Skywalker to destroy his father’s home and save the universe.
History made.
Did Ford complain, “There is no way I am going back to carpentry. I’m better than that.”
You are never better than anything.
But with optimism, we are okay with taking one step backward (or five steps backward) to take eight steps forward.
With pessimism, we fall straight down. (“I am not deserving” is the mantra of people who don’t deserve).
It’s not the law of attraction (BS). It’s the law of magnetism.
Harrison Ford was a great carpenter. And then a general in the Rebel Alliance. And then killed by his own son.
I had to move once to a small house. With two small kids. With no job. I was depressed.
To be honest, I was pessimistic. I had no idea what I was going to do. I was so depressed I could barely move.
But by writing down ten ideas a day, I slowly realized one thing (or developed the ability for one thing): I had ideas!
Most of the ideas were really bad. I had a new idea for diet pills, for instance. Bad idea.
I had an idea where people would tell if someone was smart or stupid just by how they looked. (“Isn’t that mean?” my oldest daughter, even then, was smart enough to ask me). It was supposed to be a dating site.
I had an idea that I should work for Bernie Madoff (fortunately that didn’t work out).
I started writing for thestreet.com for $200 an article, even after I had made and lost millions.
One thing turned into another.
I never shot at Darth Vader. I never joined the rebel alliance. I never kissed Carrie Fisher or Ally Mcbeal.
I never had that magic one moment where I can say, “everything changed”.
Mostly things were disappointing. But I worked hard. And not always, but mostly, I was optimistic.
And things happened. I met more people. I did things for people. People returned the favor. Every year, more people returned favors.
I got better at the things I was interested in: writing, making money, networking. I didn’t enjoy the latter two always, but I got better at them.
And then eventually, things started to mostly go well for me. And for the people around me.
Magic happened. I can jump and I will fly.
The Law of Magnetism (at least, this is what I did):
Am I now living the exact life I want to live? I have no idea. But today I will do all of the above and it will be a good day.

I heard her yell, “that’s my journey right there! I’m going to be a mom! And a doctor!”
The lantern flew. “Angels! Angels!” She yelled.
She passed me a lantern from the balcony above. She must have laid on the ground to reach her arm to mine.
“Don’t lose the wax. That’s what makes it fly.”
My friends wrote down wishes, lit the lantern and watched it sink down to the floor 20 feet below.
It burned to the ground. The ashes smelt like black popcorn.
And my friends began to mourn their dreams.
I left the party to read.
Dr. Sanjiv Chopra gave me 5 ideas to experiment with. His brother is Deepak Chopra.
They wrote the national bestseller, “Brotherhood: Dharma, Destiny and the American Dream.”

Now Dr. Sanjiv just published, “The Big 5: Five Simple Things You Can Do to Live a Longer Healthier Life.”
Deepak called it “the lazy person’s guide to health and longevity.”
I am the lazy person.

2. Dr. Sanjiv’s secret to never getting yelled at by his wife [10:14]
3. What exactly influences your health [38:15]
She kept yelling, “Father!”
“Angels, take them away.”
My head got heavy while reading.
The party ended. But it was still on my mind. The burnt dreams, the way she moaned to God, the connection between strangers, the distance betweens strangers…
From Sanjiv, I learned tricks to live longer.
And from the party I learned one trick to live fully…
Never depend on a lantern to carry your dreams.
Unless you’re the lantern.

Guvernul ungar elaborează o listă de stimulente pentru a atrage firmele ce vor părăsi Marea Britanie după Brexit, a declarat astăzi ministrul Economiei de la Budapesta, Mihaly Varga, într-un interviu acordat cotidianului financiar Vilaggazdasag.
Analiştii pieţei valutare apreciază că rămânerea Marii Britanii în Uniunea Europeană /UE/ va duce la o apreciere importantă a lirei sterline faţă de restul valutelor, cu minimum 10%, în timp ce ieşirea din UE este văzută ca un eveniment devastator pentru puterea de cumpărare a lirei, potrivit lui Cătălin Chivu, CEO al companiei de servicii financiare TeleTrade.
