BRYCE DOT VC: Writing As a Competitive Advantage

brycedotvc:

Yesterday an email exchange between the late Steve Jobs and some executives at book publisher Harper Collins made the rounds. Tho most commentary, retweets and reblogs focused on Steve’s negotiating tactics, I found another aspect of the exchange equally interesting.

Rather than the message,…

BRYCE DOT VC: If You Want to See How We'll Live In the Future...

titularhumour: nickkahler: R. S. Gable, “Active/Lethal Dose Ratio and Dependence Potential of Psychoactive Drugs,” 2006 Interesting! I had to look up the horizontal axis. As you move to the right, the “active dose” (to get a buzz or whatever you want your drug to do) approaches the lethal dose. So the active does of caffeine is 1% of the lethal dose, and the active dose of alcohol is 10% of the lethal dose.

"Convincing yourself that what you did was good enough, when you could have tried harder. Pushing at what I’d call the “molecular level” – that last microscopic bit of effort, trying so hard to make your fingers stay on a hold that if you fail it is for absolutely mechanical reasons. Giving up at the finer level is still giving up. It keeps us from reaching our highest potential."

"We left the boxes in the village. Closed. Taped shut. No instruction, no human being. I thought, the kids will play with the boxes! Within four minutes, one kid not only opened the box, but found the on/off switch. He’d never seen an on/off switch. He powered it up. Within five days, they were using 47 apps per child per day. Within two weeks, they were singing ABC songs [in English] in the village. And within five months, they had hacked Android. Some idiot in our organization or in the Media Lab had disabled the camera! And they figured out it had a camera, and they hacked Android."
