Best drug to take at the festival
Merlin Mann's wise words:
-
Don't just take your meds to get stuff done!
"Most parents understand it's their job to keep their child from dying. But, as the kid gets older, it also becomes increasingly vital not to prevent them from living. This is very difficult." - https://github.com/merlinmann/wisdom/blob/master/wisdom.md

Real-World Engineering Challenges: Migrations
This has been recognized for a long time.
Those change-over things are really severe. Really severe problems. - Joseph Henry Condon, Bell Labs ... via https://github.com/globalcitizen/taoup
However, we have much better tools now, such as high availability clustering, distributed architectures, middleware proxies, protocol-level support for temporary failures and retries, mature caching systems and fault tolerant hardware and software infrastructure. So it's practically not as hard as it once was, because if you've got your ducks in a row you can use a proven method or get fallbacks for free.

How about China?
IMHO the problem here in China is the politicization of education and media which denies individual ideas and experience from the earliest years, illogically burdening children with unnavigable quantities of take-home homework and suffocating the analytical thought and independent curiosity that are so critical for research and development. It is as if no research in to pedagogy occurred since the 1920s, and individuals still belong to a numbered local production collective, except that now it is titled a "Number X Middle School". They literally give out little flags to children as young as pre-school, it's full on nationalism every day here.

78 minutes of advice from YC founders and partners
If you like snippets in text consider the unix fortune tradition, I maintain https://github.com/globalcitizen/taoup which produces bitesized memes in glorious ANSI color. Some startuppy, mostly software architecture/design focus, some more broad anthropology/history. Aim is a high signal to noise ratio and consistently inspirational/curveball thinking.

Platforms Want to Be Utilities, Self-Govern Like Empires
Business doesn't welcome competition or oversight.
Competition is for losers - Peter Thiel (2014 speech at Harvard) ... via https://github.com/globalcitizen/taoup
Rights have to be regulated in to existence or actively fought for. These days the populace is so zoned out on Tiktok and home delivery the chances of a popular movement are precisely zero unless toward a new TV serial.
