@joeo10 Thanks for telling me. I’ve added it to my To Read list.

I’ve just finished watching the Snowden film (yeah, I’m usually years behind everyone else with films). I hope he’s doing well over in Moscow. Apparently his girlfriend went over to live with him. He deserves a decent life. He has a future, unlike Assange.

@matigo Apparently, the average lifespan of a company is progressively getting shorter over time. I think this is a symptom of poor corporate culture, poor theories of firms (thanks Horace Dediu) and poor economic and socio-economic theories. Hopefully it’s a phase and things will change. Short-termism and financialism are probably the worst problems. Idiot managers are always with us, but the environment they exist in can make them better or worse.
