It's Ed Balls Day. #EdBalls

Removing his name from buildings looks like a lot more fun than adding it. #SicSemperTyrannis

This weekend my wife and I walked the carpet in Los Angeles for the new movie I'm in, #thepickupmovie for MGM Amazon Studios! Streaming Aug 6.

Seems like everyone including BART's official web pages calls the priority seats green. To me they look yellow. Do I have some weird form of partial color blindness? I always thought I was better than average at seeing color distinctions.

The RGB value in this pic is #d4d807. Pure green would be #00ff00 and pure yellow would be #ffff00. I call this yellow with a very small touch of green added.

We share vastly more values in common—like a tree rooted in "reality" with increasingly thinner branches exploring possibility—than those values which appear to divide us.

And we can find effective agreement by traversing that tree, from our individual leaves and branches toward the thicker branches that support our groups, and further toward the trunk rooted in what we consider the "laws" of physics.

But do we, the people, have the will and the wisdom?

The power of networks vs undue concentration of power.

Worthy of deep consideration.

Do we, the people, have the necessary will and wisdom?

Zo, wat is opeens dit #WebWinkelVakdagen #WWV24 op mijn account? Even een beetje achtergrond - sinds de beginjaren '00 ben ik met e-commerce bezig. Onderdeel van klantpanels, mystery shopping en een studiereis in 2005 naar de Verenigde Staten in dit thema.
Sinds dat ik in 2017 verantwoordelijk was als interne Business Consultant voor de technische realisatie van de webshop van #Bakkercom ben ik een trouw bezoeker van de WWV en deel mijn ervaringen op sociale media. Enjoy!

De laatste lezing bij de #WebWinkelVakdagen #WWV24 is verrassend. #DavidLebbe van #FreyaProducts uit België deelt - op eigen houtje - inzichten over het opzetten van hun verkoopportaal en hoe ze de grootste thuiszorg winkel van België zijn geworden.
>70 is het nieuwe 65+. Online brengt uitdagingen mee: veel producten, slow moving stock, uittesten van producten of helaas, klanten die overlijden voor de levering.
Ook hier weer veel interessante inzichten over gescheiden koper en beslisser rol.

Tijd voor #WebWinkelVakdagen #WWV24 sessie 6 deze dag. #BasiqDental is een groothandel voor verbruiksartikelen voor >30k tandartsen en mondspecialisten. #WillemSchilders benoemt de uitdagingen tussen #Marketing en #SupplyChainManagement als purchasing manager.
Basiq Dental past #Slimstock toe in een #SAPCommerceCloud. Om grip te houden op de klantverwachting hebben zij een #KPI gezet op #FailRate - het niet bereiken van klanttevredenheid. "Elke lead time valt te mitigeren".

#WebWinkelVakdagen #WWV24 sessie 5 deze dag gaat over #Duurzaamheid. #WouterVanDerLaan van #Thuiswinkelpuntorg presenteert interactief over de verschillende aanstaande wijzigingen vanuit Europa en pikt enkele highlights er uit:
- Right to repair (55% van de consumenten wil graag klant worden op reparatie gerichte bedrijven)
- Minder verpakking (Ontwerp van wet zorgt voor max 40% lucht in productverpakking)
- Product verberteringen (36% consumenten wil duurzaamheid meewegen in leverancierkeuze)

Sessie 4 vandaag op de #WebWinkelVakdagen #WWV24 die ik bijwoonde was van #Yellowgrape. Al eerder lieten deze marketing specialisten zien, in detail hoe zij hun klanten voorzien van oplossingen met hoge conversie resultaten. Dit keer de presentatie van het bijgewerkte 5-stappen plan en de #klantreis / #profiel matrix. #HyperPersonalisatie in de #Checkout, #Zoekbalk en #WinkelmandReactivatie. Voorbeeld: Accomodatie voor reis met unieke tekst voor verkennend stelletje vs bekende soloreiziger.

Sessie 3 op de #WebWinkelVakdagen #WWV24 - #BlauweMonsters en #Wildride was zó vol, dat ging niet meer passen. Blijkbaar toch weer de betere lijst met presentaties uitgezocht, maar volgend jaar een premium ticket regelen.
Dan maar even naar de #keynote van #ABNAMRO - Precies wat je verwacht, oerdegelijk en saai. Nieuwe bankingmodellen waar vooral de bank relevant door blijft.
Hier een typische slide met een energieke bankier die wijlen Jobs nadoet.

Sessie 2 vandaag op de #WebWinkelVakdagen #WWV24 is met #ElevateDigital en #TouzaniFC over #TikTok en andere #SocialMedia conversie.
Een pakkende demo over 'story telling' en hoe je de aankoop #kiezer en #beslisser meeneemt in de verschillende behoeften en contact varianten. Praktisch: kinderen zitten op TikTok, ouders op #facebook met elk hun eigen merkbeleving en uitingen.
Take away: zorg er voor dat je ook voor de langere termijn verzonken kosten in je merk wat reserveert aan budget.

Vandaag weer #wwv24 #WebWinkelVakdagen in de #jaarbeurs Utrecht. De eerste lezing zit er alweer op, door Lisa Mattijssen, #SupplyChainManager bij #igepa die een inspirerend verhaal over de >€4M besparingen op voorraadkosten in 18 maanden presenteerde.
Haar boodschap: maak een eerste stap door wat afkadering te maken, bijvoorbeeld een ABC klassificatie van je artikelen. Begin gewoon en zie de lol van het uitzoeken in.

Each year around Solstice, Lizbeth and I review and update our directions/intentions/foci for the coming year.

This year I'll publish and pin mine here, to be updated annually, not for disclosure or accountability, but to see what serendipity/synergies might result.

2024 Focus
- calm alertness
- empathy/active caring: with Lizbeth, family, co-workers, …
health: diet, exercise, walking, biking
- enjoy with Lizbeth: travel, outdoors, arts
- personal interests: piano, Arrow of Morality, intentional community, preparedness, …

objectives
- reach and maintain goal weight
- establish resistance training routine
- 1 hour+ daily piano practice
- 4 hours+ weekly AoM development
- bikes for Lizbeth and myself
- summer camping trip
- identify like-minded individuals/communities for cooperative projects

Are #cannabis #edibles available?
Unknown to me, but if so, then they are required to be made from granulated flower

Are #extract, #tincture, #oil available?
No extract, tincture or oil products are allowed in the experiment. So no BHO, shatter or wax. This is the reason why edibles are with whole leaf residue. Cannabutter is also regarded as an extract

Are rosin products available?
The rules now state that mechanical separation is allowed. That means that rosin is possible

It's unfortunate—and an opportunity for improvement—that 'anarchy' and 'anarchism' as a movement are terms defined in relation to what they are _not_.

Agree that human nature, common sense, and popular culture tend to perpetuate lack of interest in seeing the bigger picture — or even recognizing that there might be one.

We fail to see that "more is different", and that what worked for our ancestors in small tribes no longer works at the scale of our global community. And especially in the US perhaps, individualism as identity leads to blind denial of collective approaches to problems/opportunities that exceed the grasp of individuals or small groups.

Issues that cross geopolitical borders, or involve multiple domains of knowledge—exceeding the context of meaning-making or scope of application of present-day agents—are opportunities for bigger-picture cognition augmented by machine intelligence.

Examples include creating and maintaining our evolving models of values—multi-layered, complex, and fine-grained—and our models of instrumental methods (science & technologies) for the promotion of those values into the future we discover by creating it.

But before we let ourselves depend too much on tools for thought that we don't adequately understand, we need to improve our philosophies of trust, reputation, values/preferences, decision-making, … ah, never mind. I got carried away considering the possibilities.

I suppose humans don't really care about bigger-picture thinking when there are more tangible opportunities right in front of us: using machine intelligence to more easily compete against our neighbors in business, defeat our enemies in war, and to increasingly amuse ourselves with decreasing effort…

Yes, #NVIS or Near Vertical Incidence Skywave is the #AmateurRadio mode that interests me for its practicality for reliable regional communicates independent of any infrastructure.

Your mention of #SecondOrderCybernetics made my day!

I've been arguing for over twenty years (to anyone who would listen, and almost no one gets it) that the key to the perennial paradoxes of #Consciousness, #SelfIdentity, and #FreeWill—and fundamental to a coherent #Metaethics—is understanding the relationship of the observer to the observed, especially when the observer _is_ the observed.

Now I have some reading to catch up on.

I'm moved to take out an idea of mine from storage after 20+ years:

Suggest that a #MachineLearning system, processing #LLM (large language models) like #ChatGPT could build a model of human values (hierarchical & fine-grained) and their expression within various contexts, and then—derive a metric for the hierarchical coherence of identified values in terms of #MutualInformation (not just simple co-occurence, but including contexts within contexts over time.)

--> #SocialDecisionmaking

@StillIRise1963

We actually do have competing interests, but they are like the very tips of the branches of a tree of shared values, and we will find increasing agreement as we traverse the tree along ever-thickening branches of values in common toward branches that support us all.

#Values #Agreement #SocialDecisionMaking #Morality #Cooperation

We're just now becoming aware of the damage caused when #SocialMedia amplifies unhealthy social behaviors. But social media has the potential for great good, increasing our #awareness of others and their lives.

We are just now becoming aware of #GenerativePretrainedTransformer technologies, amplifying #bullshit and swamping out meaningful text. But this tech has the potential for increasing our awareness of creative possibilities and evolving true #novelty.

Are we ready & prepared for these?
