    When you need an app to access a single photo, forces you to let the app see ALL of your photos. I really like the stance Apple has taken on privacy and encryption, but this is one of the big places I hope they’ll improve.

    I like the idea of survival of the fittest policy, but I think attribution, time horizons, and policy comparison would still be very hard. Having a report card to fill out instead of a vote is interesting, as that’s how it works at many companies

    I was reading about the idea of a futarchy (policies created/chosen through betting markets and measured by values through voting)

    Marketing lessons learned over more than a decade growing startups (thread): Great marketing emanates from a great product. If the product sucks no amount of world class marketing can redeem it. Marketing can help make a good product great––it will never make a bad product good.

    At the end of the day, giving users more choice over how they want to consume content (not just what content to consume) is probably the right thing to do

    YouTube optimizes for “time spent watching videos”, and that doesn’t correspond to actual value provided. You end up seeing lots of fluffy 10 minute videos instead of punchy 7 minute videos. IMO, more efficient reading/watching is a cooler thing to optimize

    Another thing I’ve been thinking about... companies in the gig economy, temp agencies, and consulting firms are human capital (labor) allocators. What’s the labor equivalent of a hedge fund?

    In college there was a meme about finance majors always pursuing the degree just to make money (and that trading firms don’t provide real value to the world vs. tech companies). Capital allocators are sadly misunderstood. The tech companies often wouldn’t exist without them!

    Imagine being able to work, get paid, and pay for goods without having any local infrastructure. I wouldn’t be surprised if we completely solved world hunger within 50 years (or even sooner). (internet) + (economy) + + (supply chain)

    Vision is to visionary as hearing is to X. We often think of visionary leaders and teams, but a pattern in highly successful ones is strong listening ability (listening to what users want, humility, tight feedback loop, etc.). Is there a word for that?

    Local ML by , shallow NNs by , network effects through bluetooth (see “Apple Tags” that is rumored to be released soon)— internet of things, blockchain, and distributed apps are going to be huge once more mature. PiedPiper from the Silicon Valley TV show on steroids

    I think while social media has the potential to harm mental health, on net it’s brought people together. Being on our phones in public is no new phenomenon, and kids getting phones in 1st grade is not a bad thing. Imagine giving your baby AR glasses that play Sesame Street!

    How many people act in the absolute best interest of society? If we snapped our fingers and made everyone’s individual directions add up to the best possible direction for society, what would that look like?

    I think most people optimize what they know (e.g. become the best at what they do already), although the sum of these decisions across people tells a different story (society’s direction/optimization). Olympians fit into a society’s direction, but it’s much less direct

    “Direction” is such a useful concept. Finding your own direction, observing society’s direction, etc. when people are choosing a career, they’re choosing a direction to invest their time and energy, and there are many directions they could go. Society moves according to the sum
