ALT Why do large corporations disrupt their own business more than their markets? Why do startups crash against the realities of scaling, no matter how well they are funded? Why do leaders mistake noise for progress? Packed with sharp insights, humor and no-nonsense wisdom, The Disruption Fallacy explains why most breakthroughs do not come from reckless reinvention but from smart, strategic evolution. Whether you are in consumer goods, tech, or any industry balancing ambition with reality, this book will help you disrupt the right thing and nothing more.

De pitch van de @VVD (@QueenyRaj) om miljardenbedrijven naar Nederland te halen:
“Kom hiernaartoe, dan kunnen we jullie belasten en precies vertellen wat jullie wel en niet met AI mogen doen!”
Totaal absurd. Geen deepfake. We worden geregeerd door clowns.

What about this Frankenstein? A pimped-up Citroën with a Toyota Land Cruiser chassis and engine (1993), raced by Cor Euser in dirt track events. I think Metropole should shut up and just take my money. Only €77,500!

As much as I love startups making real things, a laser-cutting service simply isn't worth $2.1Bn in the real economy. Instead of becoming a solid mid-sized business, this overinflation will likely end in ruin.
I hope Jim makes some money out of it.
Around 2016, Jim Belosic bought a $750,000 laser cutter on a whim.
This month, his company SendCutSend raised $140 million and hit a valuation of $2.1 billion. It's on track to make 50 million metal parts this year for more than 300,000 customers.
This is the story of how SendCutSend arrived and ended up reviving US industry. corememory.com/p/sendcutsend…

In 1945 Richard Feynman’s wife died. Afterwards he wrote her a love letter. At its end he apologized for not mailing it because he didn’t have her current address. The letter was found among his effects after he died in 1988.

So many lovely posts about Keith Flint. Heartened to see the number of people who agree that Albarn (in particular) and Weller are massive twats.
