Technocracy rose roughly simultaneously with the Good Government movement of the 1920s. Both were a response to the machine politics and crony capitalism of the gilded age. The hippie movement was itself somewhat a response to the inroads T

Listen to season 4 of Michael Lewis' podcast. He covers the downsides in detail. https://www.pushkin.fm/podcasts/against-the-rules I think this is the ep that gets into the most detail, but I haven't read the

There's margin (on BOM cost), and then there's profit margin (above the design cost). Design costs are probably an order of magnitude higher in USA than in China, and can't be spread over hundreds of thousands of units. I&#x2

Those students might do better if they are taught practical uses of math, rather than STEM-focused abstractions. (I was one of those kids going "why the hell are we learning this" until I got to grad school and was able to put it

I was a mid-level government manager. What most people outside don't understand is that our modern US bureaucracy isn't set up to deal with problems at scale. This article gives an alternative from history in juxtaposition that wo

Training from the bottom up ("equipped front-line supervisors with analytical tools rather than targeting top leadership") helps make change in the right place at the right time. For changes to come from the top down means that pr

It's interesting to search for recipes in other languages and not find junk as we do in English. I read Spanish and Italian fluently and stumble my way through Japanese (with translation). It's easier to find a good recipe in thes

it's probably a decent HD streamer. I have Kodi running on a pi2 (1GB) and it's OK at 720p but 1080 lags. The pi5 will do 1080, and might even pull off 4k depending on the source.

Assume two things and it makes more sense: 1. Harvard was aiming their students to jump straight into middle management (as it does today). 2. No ERP. No Excel spreadsheets. Mechanical calculation if you're lucky. Little communication

Researchers compiled lyrics to songs from five musical genres (rap, country, pop, R&B, and rock) that were released between 1970 and 2020. This is an interesting period to sample. The late 60s and early 70s were a high watermark for p

No mosquitos is new. I grew up in the east bay, with a view of the GG bridge. When I was young 25-35 years ago, I would get eaten alive at night. I did get one bite earlier this year in downtown Oakland. It was the first in a while.
