@naval This is exactly how Buffett operates. One of the reasons for his 5-minute decisions is that he realizes that if you're opening offer was lopsided, he couldn't trust you. And if he couldn't trust you he didn't want to do a deal with you.

Ask what your buyers read, and publish there; where they hang out, and network there; what they attend, and speak there. That's a marketing plan.

I believe that the principles of good programming are more important than what language we code in. I'd rather work with well-written JavaScript than badly-written Smalltalk.

You can't win in a team sport if you only practice together twice a year.

Have you ever considered that your bottleneck is a lack of knowledge not a lack of 'resources'?

Show me your budget and business model, and I’ll know your actual priorities. The rest is mostly PR.

Gender Shades: MIT researcher @jovialjoy's study on how terrible AI facial recognition is with darker skin

Two things I learned today 1. Exploration is most valuable with a long window of time ahead. Exploitation more valuable towards end of window. 2. Hollywood as example: in 1981, 2 of 10 highest grossing were sequels. Last year: 7 of 10 were, & 2 more were superhero. Era ending?

Want to freak yourself out? I'm gonna show just how much of your information the likes of Facebook and Google store about you without you even realising it

Except for air, water and sunshine - there is NOTHING free in this world. And if something appears free, the objective or the cost will be seen only over time.

You’re a business analyst, not a stock analyst.

You can succeed by being a mediocre manager and a great leader, or a great manager and a mediocre leader. Try to figure out which you are and partner with someone with complimentary strengths. Best startup teams often have one of each.

Don’t get jumbled in the numbers so much. It is practically impossible to compute the correct intrinsic value as it’s conputation is dependent on a number of assumptions that keep moving all the time. What matters is broad subjectivity than accurate objectivity.

@MrAlanCooper I like to solve one person's specific problem. It's hard enough, but when it works, it makes a change in the world.

Matunga's famous Rama Nayak Hotel has a board 'The owner of the hotel eats here' . India's cyber security chief has the exact opposite approach

concerned parent: if all your friends jumped off a bridge would you follow them? machine learning algorithm: yes.

The people on Facebook who consume fake news appear to be different from the ones who are aware of the existence of agenda driven fake news. The FB algorithm seems to ensure that these are two separate worlds. Quite disturbing.

The complete lack of violence by the Farmers in Maharashtra, while making their presence felt in Mumbai is a tribute to someone's leadership and of course the maturity of the simple people. Who is the leader. Won my heart, this demonstration of people power.

Be honest. In three days those farmers taught you more about India, protest, policy, strategy, democracy and dignity than any political party you will ever support.

The art of communicating ideas is one of the most difficult aspects of writing. It becomes doubly difficult when you don't really have a good idea about your readers.

One has to admire this peaceful protest by the farmers in Mumbai!!! And then we had the Karni Sena protest, where a school bus was attacked because an unreleased Bollywood movie hurt the sentiments of the Karni Sena. #KisanLongMarch

"I would request Mr Jinnah, Mr. Savarkar & to all those who still think of a compromise with the British to realize once for all that in the world of tomorrow there will be no British Empire" - Netaji Bose in his address to Indians via Azad Hind Radio Sanghis, read some history

The catalyst for Henry Ford launching the Ford Motor Company was a single word of encouragement from Thomas Edison. Don't underestimate a single word of encouragement. It can change the world. A must read:

A fit body, a calm mind, a house full of love. These things cannot be bought - they must be earned.

5/ Getting started is the most important thing. As @paulg says: Expect 80% of the ideas in an article to come after you start writing it.

Alan Kay on one possible measure of success in education: "Sistine-Chapel Ceilings per Lifetime". From his famous paper on the Dynabook, setting out many of the most important ideas of modern computing

Radia Perlman told the perfect story about how engineers come up with solutions before understanding the problem: "When my son was 3, he came to me crying 'my hand! my hand!' I started kissing it. *mwah* *mwah* *mwah* 'Tell me what happened...' 'I got pee on it.'"

At least the informed opinion should understand that most Indian media is now owned directly by corporates and indirectly by politicians.Take what reporting you see in the media with truck loads of skepticism.Too many vested interests pushing their narrative.Out think them.

There's a private "health stack" in the works. Privatising your health records. The business of Aadhaar is about converting YOUR personal data into a public asset, and then privatising it. The genius of @NandanNilekani

I'd vote in favour of ending reservation today if all garbage collecting and manual scavenging jobs were reserved exclusively for brahmins - like they are for Dalits now.

You get paid linearly for analyzing and solving problems. You get paid non-linearly for spotting and siezing opportunities.

Motion does not equal action. Busyness does not equal effectiveness.

Your company will move at the speed of trust.

While you talk to me about "better X", i'd like to hear about "worse Y". If you're not aware of the tradeoff, then you're unlikely to notice Y going non-linear.

The biggest competition comes from people who compete on a different vector. You want to make money, someone else wants to make an impact. You want to make an impact, someone else wants to become famous. You want to become famous, someone else is just having fun.

When you say no, you are only saying no to one option. When you say yes, you are saying no to every other option. No is a decision. Yes is a responsibility. Be careful what (and who) you say yes to. It will shape your day, your career, your family, your life.

"Show me the incentive and I will show you the outcome." - Charlie Munger

A contrarian isn’t one who always objects - that’s a confirmist of a different sort. A contrarian reasons independently, from the ground up, and resists pressure to conform.

A stock with bad fundamentals is like a stone in water - once it starts sinking it’s gone till it reaches the ocean bed. A stock falling with good fundamentals is like an Olympic diver - he needs just a couple of somersaults - to start floating again !

I'm increasingly thinking that every functioning system has two forms: The abstraction that outsiders are led to believe, and the reality that insiders actually and carefully operate. You don't incrementally learn a system. You eventually unlearn its necessary lies.

Your outcomes are a lagging measure of your habits. Your net worth is a lagging measure of your financial habits. Your weight is a lagging measure of your eating habits. Your knowledge is a lagging measure of your learning habits. You get what you repeat.
