Does that mean it can replace HR departments?

RT @Max_Stoic: Remember when Elon fired 75% of Twitter and we were told it was about to collapse
And then months passed
And all that chan…

If I was in elon’s position I’d assume it will take a year to fix the infrastructure, and about two to three years of development to get the product built out as the platform (everything app) he intends.

NLI Opinions Please?
… The NLI archive consists of many thousands my (and others’) sketches and posts from about ’09 to present. FWIW I do have the content back to the 90’s on drives, but its only value is as memorabilia.
… A lot of that historical work consists of ‘going native’ with different factions. And experimenting with arguments and ideas and testing them in social media. (Victimizing others. 😉 )
… At this point, we are very close to having consolidated everything into books (grammars so to speak). And trying to pump out at least the constitutional work as fast as possible. And that’s all we really want the public to see: ‘the law’ – and not the sausage being made so to speak.
… I’ve been thinking of moving all that searchable content onto an archive site, or requiring permission to access it within the current site. I know Ian and others still use the search function and go through the old material. So I don’t want to shut off the community. But I already get flack for that content, some if it confuses people, and the closer we get to publication the more of a drag it is on our mission.
So, opinions please?
Thanks.

Great question. The buyer bought it willingly because we were so much larger. But we were in mostly the same business. I think we were just younger and more technically saavy and had a more pessimistic understanding of the market. I mean, the profitability of printing and photo printing equipment was absurd. We used to laugh that we could shut all 200+ locations down and sell just Agfa supplies out of a garage and make ten times the money.
I left I think, five or six years before the sale occurred. (they were too greedy).
Koenig (80s) > Charette(90s) > Pittman (2006-2009)
– Koenig went Bankrupt in ’92 (I helped franchisees sue them for racketeering. And yes that’s why I left many years earlier.)
– Charette bought (I think) the commercial biz leaving the retail? I don’t remember the date but it’s early 90s.
– Charette went bankrupt and was bought by Pittman around 06, then died in about 09.
– I dunno where Pitman of NJ is today. I assume they’re gone.
– Some of the original company still exists across the east coast locations today – many I opened myself – though I don’t know how much of a shell or operation it is. Because it looks like a shell, boguth by the original mother and son. And assigned to some minor relative in Indiana 😉
So to answer your question. Between our theory of the future and their theory of the future, given it wasn’t an asymmetric bit of knowledge, then I take it as ethical.
Even then, they bought a company that went bankrupt to prevent criminal charges so, they got a deal.

No. His strategy is customer satisfaction and revenue.

Well, I think it’s somewhat difficult to realize that as you build companies, bureaucracies, and governments, you don’t really have power or authority, even if you have responsibility and decidability. Because you hold commercial government and political offices for the sole reason that people, customers, vendors, partners, financiers, advocates, and peers, etc, want you to.
The average person tries to moralize about roles that have little or no moral composition except at the extremes. When most of the time you’re a broker between interests and for short-term alliances that despite noisy goods and bads, attempt to produce a bias in good over time.
There are evil people everywhere. Certainly, Dana Carville, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, and any of the million Soros-supported district attorneys. I look at the old guard as trying to do the right thing and simply failing to grasp it’s no longer the right thing. As Dr. Brad says, the fish may not be aware of the water, and as such are unaware that the climate has changed.
