Excerpt from Quartz -- "The results are strikingly similar to the findings of a February 2018 paper from researchers at NYU and Via, a ride-hail app that operates in New York, Chicago, and Washington, DC, with exclusively shared rides. In that experiment, the researchers considered how best to compensate several thousand 'frustrated' riders who were picked up at least 8 minutes later than Via estimated in New York and DC (the Uber paper, remember, dealt with late drop-offs)."

Excerpt from Vox -- "That’s another feature of financial history, i.e., taking tough measures in the wake of a crisis and then watering them down over time. What’s different this time is that the watering-down began almost immediately instead of waiting a bit. That makes me think that we will not again have to wait half a century or more before the next large-scale financial crisis arrives."

Excerpt from ThinkAdvisor -- "As with every technology, there’s always risk and opportunity. When people talk about AI, [most] focus on what they [perceive] as people losing their jobs. There’s a potential for AI to be weaponized; and, obviously, it will eliminate some jobs. However, there are also tons of economic opportunities that it creates."

Excerpt from Bloomberg -- (:24) "There's certainly been the improvement in the economy, well not so much from 2007, but from the depths of the great recession which was roughly 2010 but also a greatly improved financial sector, more capital, more liquidity, more resilience generally. So both the economy at large and the financial sector specifically, much improvement since roughly 2008."

'They stumbled upon something — an experiment, you could say,' said Roubini, a professor of economics often identified as 'Dr. Doom.' 'They pretend to be libertarian, but they are a new generation of self-serving gold bugs. They only care about their money, not the protocol or the technology.'"

Excerpt from Bloomberg -- (4:05) "They didn't have to save the Lehman equity holders, but they needed to make it less of a crisis because if I don't know whether you had Lehman exposure, am I going to lend you money? No. And it was that uncertainty that caused everybody to pull in. They pulled in their financing and it led to the crisis."

Excerpt from CNN -- (1:21) "What began happening in 2014, 2015, is that professors and students who would say something, somebody would react to one word and there would be protests and there would be demands that the person be punished or fired and it took everyone by surprise. It seemed very strange. That's what we are seeing now, the new generation of students -- these are not millennials, these are the kids born after 1995. They have been raised in a very protected way, they are very sensitive to the power of words but there is this huge clash on campus now that is making it very difficult for example, to teach a class. You speak for an hour and if one person is offended by one word, they can report you."

Excerpt from Bloomberg -- "When you study these serial breakthrough innovators, you'll discover that a lot of them are what in management we would call 'low self-monitors,' meaning they don't monitor their persona or the way they present themselves very carefully.

A person who cares a lot what people think of them is a person that’s going to make concessions when people disagree with their ideas."
