NB trade deals are designed to make trade easier. Trump doesn't want to make trade easier. He wants the US to win. He wants deals biased towards the US. And himself. Which part of this is hard to understand?

Deleting stuff (products, features, some customers, projects, business units) is also the most important frame for a successful turnaround
The All-In Podcast@theallinpod

A Founder's Greatest Tool: Subtraction @tobi explains how founders are uniquely able change their companies by cutting things out: "It seems to me that it's only founders who subtract in companies." "This is the meeting thing in a nutshell. Everyone adds recurring meetings and gums up the system." "I'm super pro great meetings, but like once every year and a half or so, we randomly delete all recurring meetings." "We actually kind of do random deletion of Slack channels and all these kind of things." "Because they will come back if they are useful." This was taped at last year's @allinsummit. This year, you can learn directly from the world's greatest minds at AIS 2024. Limited spots available. When: 9/8-9/10 Where: Los Angeles Apply: summit.allinpodcast.co

If Trump wins, there will be efforts to blame Russian interference or the Harris campaign or Biden, etc. That's all fair. But we need to be clear eyed that a huge swath of America likes what Trump is selling. Transphobia. Mass deportation. That's what he ran on. And here we are.

My advice, for what it’s worth: try not to be distracted by the faintly discourteous, the mildly incompetent, the harmlessly obnoxious. Roll with the delayed trains, dropped litter and misused apostrophes. Save your powder for the truly malevolent creatures now stalking the land.

Dennis Ritchie, the man who invented C, co-created Unix, and is largely regarded as effectively influencing every software system we use on a daily basis. His death was largely ignored, overshadowed by Steve Jobs' death, one week before.

Fun fact. Bats and dolphins evolved echolocation in the same way (down to the molecular level). An analysis revealed that 200 genes had independently changed in the same way and this is an extreme example of convergent evolution.
