“Piers had been in China for all of two days in 2009 when he was used as a #WhiteMonkey” for the first time. He had travelled to a village in Suzhou, Jiangsu province, to attend a friend’s wedding and had stopped in the village to try a special crab dish at a small restaurant.

Weeks later, a Chinese guest who had been at the wedding told him the restaurant had had an uptick in #business because the locals had heard that a laowai, a foreigner, had been seen dining there, so people had assumed this restaurant must be good.

Piers realised the boss had deliberately seated him in a way to attract attention: “I knew we were sitting outside in a premium spot, but I didn’t pick up on what was going on.”

When #foreigners in China are used this way, they are called a #baihouzi, a white monkey”

This isn’t just a “China-thing”. For decades now western businesses have employed “White Monkeys”. You know them better as suits with an #MBA.

Что если причина, по которой не растут продажи, находится совсем не там, где вы ищете?

Почему Фрейд и квантовая механика объясняют бизнес-решения лучше, чем большинство MBA-курсов Я пришла в психоанализ из топ-менеджмента в IT. Последние 4 года я развиваюсь в психоанализе: как в частной практике, так и в B2B. Я практик до мозга костей и поэтому все получаемые знания сразу переношу на понятные мне бизнес-структуры. И чем дольше я работаю на стыке этих двух миров, тем отчётливее вижу одно и то же: когда бизнес буксует, он ищет причину не там . И причина лежит не в стратегии, не в рынке, не в конкурентах.

Firefox has long been the most resource-efficient browser I've seen. I can have a ton of tabs open in multiple windows (on Linux) and it used to only get the main process to a few gigabytes of address space and a gig or less resident in memory. When not actively using it, CPU usage was moderate, with the main process using between nothing and 20 or 30%. It was fast and responsive.

And now, it's jerky as hell.

The main process has allocated 16 GB and the resident size is varying between 2 and 3 GB. It'll go down, and then suddenly another 300-500 MB of memory is resident, while the browser is doing basically nothing. CPU varies from 25 to 150+%.

Killing off some of the sandbox processes, the ones that are taking 100+% CPU, helps a little, for a bit, but it keeps getting worse.

We all knew they were dropping their focus on the important stuff by focusing on "AI" bullshit, and this is the result. It'll end up driving me to Vivaldi [1] if it doesn't improve.

[1] Or servo, if it becomes a usable daily driver.

Capitalism, in theory, is great. #Capitalism, as currently practiced, doesn't work very well.

Many years ago I read Adam Smith's "The Wealth of Nations" [1]. If you don't understand #economics but want to, it's the second book I recommend you read [2] to get there. He describes how all the parts of the system work together, what influences other actors in the system, how it incorporates diverse feedback, and more.

What we actually have today, though, only approximates what Smith describes. There's too many things gummed up with collusion and political and regulatory capture and a bunch of other things, so our #economies don't run very well.

Illustration:

Sears lasted longer in Canada than it did in the USA, but it still failed. At some point, #Sears #Canada shuttered its retail operations while it tried to figure out what to do. There was a large Sears warehouse in my city, visible from a busy freeway.

So the company had no #revenue, but ongoing #expenses - like property #taxes. Some bright spark #MBA realized unimproved real estate was taxed at lower rates than buildings, so they tore the warehouse down, razed it.

It was still completely full of #merchandise at the time. I watched it. Too much trouble to sell or give away, so off to the dump.

Then Sears went bankrupt, somebody bought the land, and built a warehouse on it.

[1] As was common then, its full title is ridiculously long.
[2] The first, much easier read is Henry Hazlitt's "Economics in One Lesson".

#AI can predict your future #salary based on your #photo
In "AI Personality Extraction from Faces: Labor Market Implications," the authors describe how they used the LinkedIn facial images of over 96,000 #MBA graduates to extract subjects' Big Five personality traits – Openness, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness, and Neuroticism.
They emphasize that they don't advocate doing so because personality extraction from facial images is fundamentally discriminatory.
