I suspect that the introduction of “flying cars” (I hate that term but that’s what they’re being called) or use of bigger drones will cause a series of attacks on the general population in the likes we have never seen before. 9/11 being one of the most drastic examples, buy these being committed but otherwise […]

Napoleon on Imagination
I was reading one of my books on quotes from Napoleon, oddly enough I find them more thought-provoking that reading most philosophers. One recent one was the following: “He who can absorb the most mages into his memory is the one who has the most imagination.” I’ve dipped here and there on the science of […]
Napoleon’s “System of War” term for Strategy
I’ve been reading letters written by Napoleon today, generally concerning the management of politics and war, everyday operations. One thing that stands out is that he insists of not peace with England, but a “glorious peace.” It is not explicit, but it seems to be the condition where a peace is made, but only if […]
The False Cry of Entitlement
There’s currently a demand for womens soccer team to be paid the same as the mens team, in the name of equal pay and all that. I came across a Forbes article running some numbers, but not going far enough in it’s analysis: https://www.forbes.com/sites/mikeozanian/2019/03/07/world-cup-soccer-pay-disparity-between-men-and-women-is-justified/ “As Dwight Jaynes pointed out four years ago after the U.S. […]
Python: import OS
Cool trick that allows your code when messing around extracting data from folders to work on any OS, spits out the string in the correct format.
The False Doomsday Cries of Automation Lowering Labor Participation
Another of the doomsday scenario (aside from the war on photosynthesis) is that automation is reducing jobs available to people TODAY. They give all these anecdotal evidence fallacies of factories and groceries stores having less staff and this indicates we are driving people to be jobless. The conclusion they derive is that there’s a mutually […]
Henrikin Surma (“The Slaying of Henry”)
The first blows of the horns would ring early in the morning in a village near Lake Köyliö in south western Finland. The alarm would sound for all and indicate it’s time to start the daily routine. The year was 1152, and these heathens had never know another life. While there is hierarchy in all […]
The False Claim of Using “Paradoxes” in Management
I’m starting to read management techniques that claim we need to start embracing paradoxes, and start listing outright contradictions. A paradox is something that seems a contradiction at first, but turns out to be coherent in a not so obvious way. A paradox isn’t a contradiction, and if you can’t correct the contradiction is a […]
Measures of Central Tendency: Mean, Median and Mode
Mean: a.k.a. “Simple average.” You get to it by adding up all of the components and then dividing by the number of components. The downside to it is that it’s easily affected by outliers. Median: It’s the medium number in an order data set. If n is the number of observations, the formula would be: […]
Practicing Programming with Gladiabots
I recently purchased a game called “Gladiabots” on Steam, apperently it came out four or five days ago. Their Websites elevator pitch is: AI COMBAT ARENA Assemble your robot squad, construct their AI and send them in the battle arena to see your strategy play out. Iterate, improve and repeat until you outsmart […]
