Interesting Things on the Internet: December 4th 2017
- The Disruptors. Interesting article about how finance controls the world. The observation that investment funds have effectively created a monopoly layer one level up from firms themselves becoming monopolies is particularly interesting.
- Unapocalyptic Software. I think the article that Tim is responding to was an earlier Interesting Thing on the Internet, and this is a good alternative take.
- Breaking Cliques at Events. Good advice that I need to try harder to heed. I think I do a reasonable job at observing the related Pac-Man rule, but I'm not the best at saying hello to newcomers.
- Toxic experts.
- What Do We Do with the Art of Monstrous Men? This gave me much food for thought.
- At One College, Women Engineers Help Reshape The Machine Shop.
- Modern Media Is a DoS Attack on Your Free Will.
- Tesla Approaches Terminal Decline. Interesting take on how things are going with Tesla.
- Tim O'Reilly's WTF? A book that tells us how to keep the technology baby and throw out the Big Tech bathwater.
