Excerpt from Red Hat Command Line Podcast -- "One of the things that attracted me about NASA was that they were the bravest in the sense that they really took strategic research and development (R&D) challenges, that their scientists and engineers and top brains were working at the same time and opened them to the crowd. And I have to say that still today, many other organizations, when they do open source science or crowdsourcing, they do not take their core strategic challenges. They take something that is on the side, that doesn't risk their organization too much, whether it succeeds or fails, and NASA did something that really changed things, once it succeeded."

Excerpt from Bloomberg-- "We haven't yet seen the full application of technologies that have been invented. Take cryptography--there are ways to secure all of our communications and keep secret things we want to keep secret, but they're not being used. People...need to focus on this problem of diffusion--how do you make sure something gets widely used?"

Excerpt from PolitiFact -- "The consensus among economists, White said, is that 'tariffs, like any tax, generally introduce an inefficiency and makes the two sides of the trading relationship poorer — not richer.'"

'At the end of the day, most of the aggregator apps have a heavier hand and have the ability to dictate terms, at least to the institutions in the mid and low end of the spectrum.'"

'I’m a firm believer in the fundamentals of a stock – the cash flow, the risk and growth, rather than the particular month to invest,' he says."

Excerpt from Bloomberg-- "Yet even with the political and trade headwinds, the new digital economy, services and higher value producers could keep China on track to join the ranks of wealthy nations, said Spence.

Excerpt from Stamford Advocate-- "'Recognizing revenue prematurely, particularly over numerous years — as appears to be the case here — is generally viewed as a serious accounting error,' said Stephen Ryan, a professor of accounting in New York University’s business school.

But our curriculum has changed over the years by adding a series of hot topics on things that have been really relevant in the marketplace.'"

It made me reflect on my own actions, as both a CEO and a parent, and what ways I’ve contributed to today’s 'safetyism' culture. Its core message has stayed with me—and has led me to develop new ways to drive innovation and smart risk-taking at the office, while also helping me to encourage independence and resilience with my children at home."
