The world-economic system that we've come to know and assume and rely on over the past 20 years -- where China makes all the stuff and rich countries do the research, intermediate goods, and marketing -- is now rapidly coming to an end. noahpinion.substack.com/p/the-end-of-t…

The goal of this piece is to establish a simple, four-part framework to think about the challenge of creating housing abundance, in any place. Housing costs = 1) Parts and labor + 2) Local rules + 3) Local vetocracy + 4) Construction innovation theatlantic.com/newsletters/ar…

In 2019, if you woke up on a Casper, worked out with Peloton, Ubered to a WeWork, ordered DoorDash for lunch, took a Lyft home, made a Blue Apron meal and ordered ice cream via Postmates, you interacted with 8 companies that collectively lost about $15 billion in one year.

As the tech industry continues to expand and communities all over the world compete for tech jobs outside Silicon Valley, Toronto has become the third-largest tech hub in North America. nyti.ms/3ulvVzk

"Cooling the planet to reduce human suffering in this century will require carbon removal or solar geoengineering or both." nytimes.com/2021/10/01/opi… I'm not rooting for this to be true. But I can't imagine a future in which it is false.

People multitask in over 30% of virtual meetings. If you want their undivided attention, move meetings to the afternoon—and keep them small and short. Our best analytical and creative thinking often happens before lunch (or after dinner). Protect mornings to focus on deep work.

13/ In summary, it’s important to ask questions about new technologies that go beyond first impressions. 🚂 “Looks like a toy” → How fast will it improve? 💰 “Too expensive”→ How fast will the price come down? 🛠 “Doesn’t solve a problem” → Does it provide new capabilities?

Black candidates were underrepresented in the 2019 federal election and, unless we do something about it, it's not going to get better. And, as someone born and raised in AB and now calls BC home, I think this problem is worse out West.

Really like this philosophy. Not just tech & entrepreneurs, but businesses of all stripes, would be wise to "dream in years ... ship daily". The White House notepad is a nice touch.

For signs of hope, one might look to Canada, where the tech hub of Toronto is trying (or so its boosters say, at any rate) to be a sort of gentler, kinder Silicon Valley, driven more by a concern for technology’s social consequences, writes @BrianJBarth. technologyreview.com/2020/06/17/100…

To Asian-Canadians & Asian-Americans during this, our month: be that champion, don’t shy away from tough conversations, say to our younger selves: be proud of our heritage. Know that we are important & valuable & that it is our contributions, too, that make our countries great.
