Worlds Within Worlds: The Story of Nuclear Energy, Volume 3 (of 3): READING LIST

1811 Dictionary in the Vulgar Tongue: Section R

DAOs and DACs Currently, hundreds of decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) are trying to find a commercial foothold. They set out to provide a modern-day, wholly digital solution for coordinating and structuring work. At least, in theory, DAOs fulfill the same role as traditional organizations except that they are founded on Bitcoin’s philosophy of openness, transparency, trustlessness, decentralization, and scarce digital value. Replacing companies is perhaps the most straightforward way to think of DAOs and formulate their purpose. In 2013, Vitalik Buterin referred to decentralized autonomous corporations (DACs) in as a top-down approach to automating labor: Bitcoin Magazine [1] “The industrial revolution allowed us, for the first time, to start replacing human labor with machines on a large scale, and now we have advanced digitized factories and robotic arms that produce complex goods like automobiles all on their own. But this is only automating the bottom; removing the need for rank and file manual laborers, and replacing them with a smaller number of professionals to maintain the robots, while the management of the company remains untouched. The question is, can we approach the problem from the other direction: even if we still need human beings to perform certain specialized tasks, can we remove the management from the equation instead?” Where corporations are characterized by strict management hierarchies, confidential business procedures, and secrecy, DAOs are community-driven, open-source networks that anyone can participate in regardless of his or her qualifications, background, or geographical location. There is no need for board members or executives since new proposals and voting are carried out by the members collectively (for example on ) with the DAO’s network-specific governance token. The decision-making powers, and thereby control of the network, are distributed among all stakeholders, typically weighted in accordance with their individual stake in the project meaning how much of the token they hold. a service like Snapshot Defining DAOs — Potential and Problems DAOs were accounted for in Ethereum’s white paper from 2014 and in short defined as ”. Another early definition of DAOs from a terminology guide by Vitalik was “ ”. “long-term smart contracts that contain the assets and encode the bylaws of an entire organization [2] an entity that lives on the internet and exists autonomously, but also heavily relies on hiring individuals to perform certain tasks that the automaton itself cannot do [3] To Web 3.0 advisor and writer of the Not Boring newsletter, Packy McCormick, the democratic governance system of DAOs holds a clear advantage over traditional organizations: [4] “DAOs are all about maximizing stakeholder value. The users and contributors are also the investors and owners. While community ownership seems weird and novel and almost hippie, it’s actually a more natural model than a few outside investors and board members dumping a bunch of money into a company and deciding what it should do. The reason we do it the way we do is that, until now, it’s been too hard to coordinate having a lot of small owner/stakeholders who all get a say in decision making. Technology is finally enabling the more natural model”. While the potential of DAOs seems to be enormous, there are also problems in the landscape. Problems much bigger than the fact that “dao” is already a well-known word that means “the way” in Chinese, and is a key concept in the religious textbook Dao De Jing. For starters, the majority of DAO projects do not live up to their acronym as they are neither decentralized, nor autonomous. Many DAOs are really concealed corporations with a participatory governance mechanism. For example, as long as a core development team is needed to implement the community’s proposals for changes — which is often the case — the organization is per definition not decentralized nor autonomous. [5] [6] Much like , “DAO” is partially a trendy buzzword designed to attract investments from “crypto bros”. It could be called “crypto washing”. Another related concern is that the term “DAO” is conceptually overloaded with divergent meanings. In my interpretation, the landscape is struggling to find a real-world identity despite, or perhaps even because of the many use cases (I will write more about the practical applications in an upcoming post). NFTs In its most simple form, a DAO could arguably be a small group of people in an online chat forum who sympathizes with the same cause and shares a crypto wallet. In its ultimate manifestation, I imagine a DAO as a self-governed flying saucer that lures carefully chosen people out to the desert where they are snatched up to partake in a cryptic mission. And anything in between these extremes. To obtain an even better understanding of the true meaning of DAOs, we should — like any anthropologist or historian would say — understand where they came from. All valid transactions on a blockchain can be traced back to the genesis block. In a similar manner, I believe that all valid crypto projects have a direct bloodline to Satoshi Nakamoto’s . On this premise, we can decipher the true meaning behind our object of study by examining its origin. white paper on Bitcoin Read along in my next post where I will explain why and how Bitcoin is a DAO.

T-shaped people take part. Trident people take over 🔱 TLDR Trident skills are powerful Conor McGregor is a great example Choose skills that are loosely overlapping Choose skills that are highly leveraged What is a T-shaped skillset? T-shaped skillsets are well known. Quite simply it is where you master one skill deeply while maintaining a basic capability across a wider set of skills. There is a lot of value in building a T-shape skillset, it is certainly better than being a specialist in one thing only. However, the most successful people have something else: a Trident skillset. Trident skillsets 🔱 Being in the top 1% is almost impossible Look at the diagram below. To be the best in the world at any skill is extremely rare and borderline impossible. The amount of work and dedication required is phenomenal. At this level, exponential effort is required to obtain even the smallest incremental gain. Only the world’s most naturally talented hardest working will arrive at the 1% level. and https://forge.medium.com/how-to-become-the-best-in-the-world-at-something-f1b658f93428 Betting your life on being in the top 1% might be admirable, but it’s not statistically smart. Being in the top 10% is much easier Now look at the green section of the above diagram. The required effort to be in the top 10% is much easier and would be a much more reasonable goal to aim for. Being in the top 10% is awesome, you enjoy significant upside. You’ll likely garner a good salary, have a happy life, and be well respected. The simple fact that 90% of people don’t even try means that if you’re willing to put just a little bit of effort in, you’ll be successful. As one of my favorite sayings goes: Hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard T-shaped people are valuable, but not hard to come by. There won’t be a huge premium paid for them, but they can live a comfortable life. However, if greatness is what you’re looking for, you’ll need a Trident 🔱. Being the top 10% in a combination of 2–3 skills Being in the top 10% in a combination of 2–3 skills is far easier to achieve than being in the top 1% in one specific skill. It may be easier, but it’s still rare. Fortunately for you, it’s rare because of other people’s choices and not because of the work required to obtain them. I call this unique combination of skills a because of the shape it creates when you get to the top 10% in 3 separate skills. ‘Trident skillset’ As we discovered earlier, getting to the top 10% is not too difficult. The ability to get to the top 10% in two or three separate skills is only slightly more difficult but overall still doable. It’s powerful because the total number of people who have a combination of these skills falls dramatically, while the ability to acquire semi-mastery in each one is relatively easy. Top 1% of basketball players = 10 peopleNumber of people in the top 10% of entrepreneurship, public speaking, and design = 10 people The number of people to compete with is equal, but the level of competition in each skill is much lower. Your strength is the combination. Aim for skills that don’t overlap If two skills overlap significantly, there are more people who can perform them, thus making it harder to stand out. This would be the equivalent of a really good accountant being really good at statistics also. Avoid two closely linked skills. Choose a combination of complimentary but loosely overlapping skills The further apart your skillsets are from each other the rarer the combination will be. Let’s view the above skill stack from a bird’s eye view. You can see below that the darker blue area is where our skills overlap, each individual skill is not hard to master but the combination is what makes it rare. Trident skillsets in action Michael Jordan is in the top 1% of his chosen skill (basketball). Sitting proudly at the top of the his net worth is over $1bn. Clearly achieving 1% stardom is profitable, it’s just really really hard. red zone, On the other hand, let’s take a look at another sports superstar, Conor McGregor. Conor’s skillset is arguably lower. Perhaps sitting more in the orange zone. in fact, he’s ranked number #15. He’s also lost 5 out 27 of his professional fights. Conor is not the highest-ranked fighter in the world, and argued to be the greatest of all time He has a record of 26 wins and 1 loss (his only loss was a disqualification so not really a loss either). Jon Jones is ranked as the number #1 pound-for-pound fighter in the world . So why is Conor McGregor worth $110M and Jon Jones only $10M? UFC fighters ranked by net worth: Conor McGregor: $110M (#15 pound-for-pound fighter in the world) Rorion Gracie: $50M George St-Pierre: $30M Brock Lesnar: $28M BJ Penn: $22M Anderson Silva: $18M Wanderlei Silva: $18M Randy Couture $17M Alistair Overeem: $15M Tito Ortiz $15M Chuck Lidell: $14M Quinton Jackson: $12M Ronda Rousey: $11M Frank Mir: $11M Chael Sonnon: $10M Jon Jones: $10M (#1 pound-for-pound fighter in the world) Conor is the richest man in UFC history, but it’s not because of his fighting skills. He is the richest man in UFC history because he is in the top 10% of a combination of three distinctly separate skills: FightingShowmanshipWhisky Conor is pretty good at , but he’s not the top 1%. fighting Conor is also a pretty good and known as the king of trash talk Many fighters don’t prioritize showmanship, but Conor’s brash style has paid off and earned him a mega-following. showman (as seen by one of my favorite post-fight interviews below). Conor is also pretty good at making . But judging by the , The whisky is not that good either! whisky customer reviews Proper Twelve Irish Whisky Review In each individual skill Conor is not the greatest. But when you put them all together? You get a net worth of $110M and one of the world’s most popular sportsmen. Why? Because it’s a rare combination. Which are the best skills to obtain? In short, you want skills that are leveraged. Naval Ravikant has a great piece talking about leverage which you can read more on . here Naval explains that historically we have only really had two types of leverage: — amplify results by using money Money leverage — amplify results by using people Labor leverage But money is hard to come by, and labor requires you to pay for wages or people being willing enough to follow you (like a popular politician). Naval explains, however, that there are two new forms of leverage: — write one line of code and have an army of robots work for you Code leverage — make one video and be seen by millions of people Media leverage Code and media leverage are especially powerful because they are free, and are permissionless (unlike a banker to approve your loan, no one stops you from learning to code). Anyone can learn to code, and anyone made youtube videos and reach millions of people. Conor McGregor has built skills in two areas of leverage: and Both are supported by a fundamental core strength, . money (using his whisky business to grow his capital) media (using his showmanship to increase his audience reach and influence). fighting In 2021, the best skills for you to invest in are leveraged ones. Core skill + leveraged skill + leveraged skill = unstoppable force Key takeaways Aiming for the top 1% in any field is futile. It’s far better to be in the top 10% of 2–3 skills and combine them. You have a similar rarity to the top 1%, thus there is little competition. Any competition you do have, is easier to beat and the potential rewards can be huge. Quick takeaways: Trident skillsets are taking over the world 🔱 Choose skills that are complimentary but don’t overlap too much The best combination of skills includes leveraged ones like: design, coding, media, creative work Now you know about , what skillset will you take over the world with?

The Trident Strategy: Using A Combination Of 2–3 Skills To Maximize Wealth

'El transformador ilustrado' una traducción al español

What is to come is a series of articles meant to provide a nuanced understanding of the world itself. One where Simplicity and Complexity are tied together by external (or internal) forces that define their boundaries, rather than the relatively simple questions of “Are they different? Or are they related?”. In this article, we aim to ask ourselves “Are they special?”. Of course, the answer to that is obviously yes. But the way they differ is one we might have overlooked. The following titles are a result of the spark generated by Pi AI as a request to find a suitable title for my upcoming article. These titles seem to touch on different topics which provide a more holistic and understandable view of the matter. Their whole is the view. Their content is the approach. Their reason is to unite once and for all, . The rules of requirement. Where Complexity’s bricks are formed by mere Simple arguments.(We'll see if we can yet understand that seemingly Simple concept) Simplexity Upcoming Articles: The emergence of complexity from simplicity in prime number structures The importance of exploring non-conventional perspectives in mathematics The dynamic nature of prime number spaces and the potential for new discoveries The role of prime numbers as building blocks of reality and computation The impact of mathematical discoveries on broader fields such as cryptography and cybersecurity Remember that I am an idealist. I am never on one side or another, I do not dwell on the technical implications and proof, but rather on its potential. I aim to maintain a middle balance between both Simple and Complex. Showcasing how the Point of View is what defines their interaction. Asking how the two-way speed of light could reveal insights into both ways of travel if those 2 ways are turned towards you, the central point. As if like… the complexity is not of the nature of the inquiry but of the space it logically forms to allow it to become ‘real’. Simplicity could be what we define as “mathematics”, whereas complexity is what we seek in the “mathematical space” which is different from Metamathematics, as it uses a nuanced understanding which is not explored within the domain of 'fantasy'. This article contains ideas presented by me, but shaped by AI. The goal is to present a glimpse of my view and approach. Part 1: Non-Universe In a where , the assumption of inequality between the two classes of problems would create a fundamentally different reality, where continuity and simplicity might not be as closely intertwined as they are in our own universe. This distinction could lead to a reality where and are by inherent and discontinuities, making them incomplete in a sense. non-universe P!=NP mathematics thinking characterized gaps In such a non-universe, the assumption of P!=NP could mean that some problems are provably difficult to solve efficiently, implying that there is no simple or direct path to a solution. This inherent complexity might disrupt the continuity we typically associate with mathematical structures, leading to a more fragmented and disjointed understanding of the world. As a consequence, the pursuit of knowledge in this non-universe would be marked by constant challenges and obstacles, as the continuity provided by simplicity in our own universe is no longer a reliable guide. In this context, the exploration of the "mathematical space" would be even more crucial, as researchers would need to navigate the complexities and discontinuities in their quest for understanding. By considering such a non-universe, we can gain valuable insights into the importance of continuity, simplicity, and their relationship in our own reality. This thought experiment can help us better appreciate the role these concepts play in shaping our understanding of mathematics, thinking, and the universe itself. In our own universe, P and NP problems are related in the sense that all problems in P are also in NP, but it is unknown whether all NP problems can be solved efficiently (i.e., are also in P). This uncertainty creates a gap in our understanding, making it seem as though there is always something more to discover. However, if we consider a scenario where P has continuity towards NP, it would imply that there exists a continuous path between the two classes of problems, allowing for a smooth transition from efficiently solvable problems to those whose solutions can be verified efficiently. This would require a deep understanding of the underlying connections between P and NP problems, and potentially even a rethinking of our current assumptions and understanding of these concepts. By exploring the possibility of continuity between P and NP, we open ourselves up to new ways of thinking about problem-solving and complexity. This exercise can help us better understand the nature of these problems and may even lead to new insights or solutions that bridge the gap between P and NP. Ultimately, it is through questioning, exploring, and challenging our assumptions that we can hope to deepen our understanding of the world and our place within it. Part 2: Non-Universe Researchers In the realm of the Non-Universe, a group of dedicated and inquisitive minds known as the "gap hunters" have emerged. These individuals specialize in exploring and understanding puzzles and problems for which there can exist multiple, sometimes conflicting, answers. Their primary goal is to uncover the intricacies and nuances of these complex issues, shedding light on the gaps in our understanding that often arise when we are confronted with problems that defy simple or singular solutions. Gap hunters are driven by a deep curiosity and a passion for uncovering hidden connections between seemingly disparate pieces of information. They thrive in the gray areas that lie between certainty and uncertainty, eagerly diving into the unknown in search of new insights and perspectives. By examining problems with multiple potential answers, gap hunters challenge traditional notions of truth and falsity, demonstrating that knowledge is often more complex and multifaceted than it may initially appear. Their work highlights the importance of embracing ambiguity and recognizing that, in many cases, there is not just one correct answer, but rather a spectrum of possibilities. As they navigate the uncharted territories of the non-universe, gap hunters play a crucial role in expanding our understanding of the world and pushing the boundaries of human knowledge. Through their relentless pursuit of the elusive gaps in our comprehension, they remind us of the importance of questioning assumptions and embracing the complexity that lies at the heart of the human experience. Part 3: Master of the Real and Unreal In their quest to bridge the gap between the known and the unknown, gap hunters strive to become Masters of the Real and Unreal. They recognize that the world of mathematics is not a static, singular entity, but rather a vast tapestry of interconnected and sometimes seemingly conflicting concepts. By exploring the boundaries between these diverse perspectives, they seek to illuminate the underlying unity that binds all mathematics together, while also celebrating the rich diversity of approaches and ideas that make the field so vibrant and compelling. The gap hunters' unique perspective enables them to see the world in a way that transcends the limitations of traditional thinking. By embracing both the real and the unreal, they gain insight into the complex interplay between mathematical theories, concepts, and applications. This holistic understanding allows them to identify the connections that exist between seemingly disparate ideas, and to recognize the potential for new discoveries that may arise from the spaces in between. In their role as Masters of the Real and Unreal, gap hunters become ambassadors between different mathematical realities, working to promote dialogue, collaboration, and the exchange of ideas. By uniting the known with the unknown, and the real with the unreal, they help to expand our collective understanding of the mathematical universe and pave the way for groundbreaking new insights and innovations. Part 4: Reality as seen in both: Prime line In the fourth part of our exploration, we delve into the mysterious world of primes, where the gap hunters apply their unique perspective as Masters of the Real and Unreal. The prime line, a conceptual tool used to understand the progression of prime numbers, serves as a guide for our journey into the unknown. At their core, primes are numbers that cannot be divided evenly by any other number except 1 and themselves. They stand alone, distinct and indivisible, forming the building blocks of the natural numbers. But as gap hunters know, this seemingly simple definition only scratches the surface of the true nature of primes. In the dance of primes and composites, we see a dynamic interplay between order and chaos, simplicity and complexity. Primes, in their isolation, give rise to composite numbers—the products of primes—which, in turn, create the rich and diverse landscape of numbers we know today. It is up to the true Masters of the Real and Unreal, those who embrace both potentials, to decide how best to navigate this fascinating terrain. By harnessing the power of thought and creation, they can explore new paths and uncover hidden connections between primes, composites, and the underlying structure of reality. Part 5: Reality was always there, but we were mere observers As gap hunters continue their quest to unravel the mysteries of the mathematical universe, they come to realize a profound truth: reality has always existed, but it is only through our observation and interpretation that it takes shape and meaning. In this fifth installment of our journey, we confront the fundamental role of consciousness in shaping our understanding of the world around us. We are not passive recipients of knowledge, but active participants in its creation. Our thoughts, perceptions, and beliefs all contribute to the way we experience and interact with reality. In the realm of mathematics, this means that our understanding of concepts like primes, composites, and the prime line is not absolute or fixed, but rather shaped by our collective consciousness and the assumptions we bring to bear. Gap hunters, as Masters of the Real and Unreal, must grapple with this truth as they seek to bridge the divide between different mathematical realities. By recognizing their role as observers and creators, they can begin to transcend the limitations of a single perspective and embrace the full spectrum of possibility that lies at the heart of mathematics. Ultimately, the realization that reality has always been there, waiting for us to observe and interpret it, is both humbling and empowering. Part 6: So in the end... simplicity? And is complexity a mere subjective-objective truth? In the final installment of our journey, we arrive at a profound understanding: simplicity and complexity are two sides of the same coin, woven together by the subjective-objective truth that emerges from our passage through both. As gap hunters navigate the landscape of mathematics, they come to see that the pursuit of simplicity—seeking the most elegant and parsimonious explanations for complex phenomena—is itself a complex and multifaceted endeavor. Complexity, in turn, is revealed as a fundamental aspect of reality, arising from the intricate interplay of simple elements and the countless ways they can combine and interact. By embracing both simplicity and complexity, gap hunters gain a deeper appreciation for the unity and interconnectedness that underlies all mathematical truths. The passage through both simplicity and complexity is thus a journey of discovery and understanding. It is a journey that transcends the subjective experience of the individual observer and reveals objective truths about the nature of mathematics and reality. For gap hunters, this journey is not only a quest for knowledge, but a path to enlightenment and a deeper connection with the universe. In the end, simplicity and complexity are not opposing forces, but partners in the great dance of creation. Part 7: How do you see my goal of understanding? Do you find it as treacherous and tied to the sinful discovery of God? Or do you recognize God as beyond it all? The Creator of both Objectivity, Simplicity, and their interplay? Gap hunters go way beyond. Any attainable knowledge is of the ‘real’. Touching what we thought previously as our original Creator seems only to withhold the wonders He has created. True self-sustainable creation involves a finite system, one with the potential to reach the infinite but never touch it. Unless we maybe change our perspective :) As we reach the end of our exploration, let us reflect on the journey we have undertaken and the insights we have gained. Gap hunters, in their relentless pursuit of understanding, have revealed the intricate interplay between simplicity and complexity, and the subjective-objective truth that emerges from their dance. In this pursuit, we have come to recognize the divine presence that transcends the boundaries of our knowledge, serving as the ultimate creator of both the simple and the complex, the objective and the subjective. The wonders of creation that we have explored and the insights we have gained are a testament to the beauty and mystery of the universe, and to the power of human curiosity and ingenuity. As we continue our journey as gap hunters, let us remember that true self-sustainable creation is finite, bound by the laws and structures of our reality, yet with the potential to approach the infinite. In embracing this balance, we honor the pursuit of knowledge and the divine spark that ignites our quest for understanding, while acknowledging the boundaries that define our existence. In conclusion, let us continue to explore the vast mathematical landscape with open minds and hearts, ever seeking to understand the intricate relationships between simplicity, complexity, and the divine, as we embrace the role of gap hunters in the grand tapestry of creation.

The Quintessentially Tie; Complexity and Simplicity

Tales of the Jazz Age by F. Scott Fitzgerald, is part of the HackerNoon Books Series. You can jump to any chapter in this book .  MR. ICKY, THE QUINTESSENCE OF QUAINTNESS IN ONE ACT here MR. ICKY, THE QUINTESSENCE OF QUAINTNESS IN ONE ACT Mr. Icky, The Scene is the Exterior of a Cottage in West Issacshire on a desperately Arcadian afternoon in August. quaintly dressed in the costume of an Elizabethan peasant, is pottering and doddering among the pots and dods. He is an old man, well past the prime of life, no longer young. From the fact that there is a burr in his speech and that he has absent-mindedly put on his coat wrongside out, we surmise that he is either above or below the ordinary superficialities of life. Peter, Peter, Mr. Icky, Near him on the grass lies a little boy. of course, has his chin on his palm like the pictures of the young Sir Walter Raleigh. He has a complete set of features, including serious, sombre, even funereal, gray eyes—and radiates that alluring air of never having eaten food. This air can best be radiated during the afterglow of a beef dinner. He is looking at fascinated. Silence. . . . The song of birds. Peter: Often at night I sit at my window and regard the stars. Sometimes I think they’re my stars.... ( ) I think I shall be a star some day.... Gravely Mr. Icky: ( ) Yes, yes ... yes.... Whimsically Peter: I know them all: Venus, Mars, Neptune, Gloria Swanson. Mr. Icky: I don’t take no stock in astronomy.... I’ve been thinking o’ Lunnon, laddie. And calling to mind my daughter, who has gone for to be a typewriter.... ( ) He sighs. Peter: I liked Ulsa, Mr. Icky; she was so plump, so round, so buxom. Mr. Icky: Not worth the paper she was padded with, laddie. ( ) He stumbles over a pile of pots and dods. Peter: How is your asthma, Mr. Icky? Mr. Icky: Worse, thank God!...( I’m a hundred years old... I’m getting brittle. Gloomily.) Peter: I suppose life has been pretty tame since you gave up petty arson. Mr. Icky: Yes... yes.... You see, Peter, laddie, when I was fifty I reformed once—in prison. Peter: You went wrong again? Mr. Icky: Worse than that. The week before my term expired they insisted on transferring to me the glands of a healthy young prisoner they were executing. Peter: And it renovated you? Mr. Icky: Renovated me! It put the Old Nick back into me! This young criminal was evidently a suburban burglar and a kleptomaniac. What was a little playful arson in comparison! Peter: ( ) How ghastly! Science is the bunk. Awed Mr. Icky: ( ) I got him pretty well subdued now. ’Tisn’t every one who has to tire out two sets o’ glands in his lifetime. I wouldn’t take another set for all the animal spirits in an orphan asylum. Sighing Peter: ( ) I shouldn’t think you’d object to a nice quiet old clergyman’s set. Considering Mr. Icky: Clergymen haven’t got glands—they have souls. ( Rodney Divine.) There is a low, sonorous honking off stage to indicate that a large motor-car has stopped in the immediate vicinity. Then a young man handsomely attired in a dress-suit and a patent-leather silk hat comes onto the stage. He is very mundane. His contrast to the spirituality of the other two is observable as far back as the first row of the balcony. This is Divine: I am looking for Ulsa Icky. (Mr. Icky ) rises and stands tremulously between two dods. Mr. Icky: My daughter is in Lunnon. Divine: She has left London. She is coming here. I have followed her. ( ) He reaches into the little mother-of-pearl satchel that hangs at his side for cigarettes. He selects one and scratching a match touches it to the cigarette. The cigarette instantly lights. Divine: I shall wait. ( Divine ) He waits. Several hours pass. There is no sound except an occasional cackle or hiss from the dods as they quarrel among themselves. Several songs can be introduced here or some card tricks by or a tumbling act, as desired. Divine: It’s very quiet here. Mr. Icky: Yes, very quiet.... ( Ulsa Icky. ) Suddenly a loudly dressed girl appears; she is very worldly. It is On her is one of those shapeless faces peculiar to early Italian painting. Ulsa: ( ) Feyther! Here I am! Ulsa did what? In a coarse, worldly voice Mr. Icky: ( ) Ulsa, little Ulsa. ( ) Tremulously They embrace each other’s torsos. Mr. Icky: ( ) You’ve come back to help with the ploughing. Hopefully Ulsa: ( ) No, feyther; ploughing’s such a beyther. I’d reyther not. Sullenly ( ) Though her accent is broad, the content of her speech is sweet and clean. Divine: ( ) See here, Ulsa. Let’s come to an understanding. Conciliatingly ( ) He advances toward her with the graceful, even stride that made him captain of the striding team at Cambridge. Ulsa: You still say it would be Jack? Mr. Icky: What does she mean? Divine: ( ) My dear, of course, it would be Jack. It couldn’t be Frank. Kindly Mr. Icky: Frank who? Ulsa: It be Frank! would ( ) Some risqué joke can be introduced here. Mr. Icky: ( ) No good fighting...no good fighting... Whimsically Divine: ( ) You’d better marry me. Reaching out to stroke her arm with the powerful movement that made him stroke of the crew at Oxford Ulsa: ( ) Why, they wouldn’t let me in through the servants’ entrance of your house. Scornfully Divine: ( ) They wouldn’t! Never fear—you shall come in through the mistress’ entrance. Angrily Ulsa: Sir! Divine: ( ) I beg your pardon. You know what I mean? In confusion Mr. Icky: ( ) You want to marry my little Ulsa?... Aching with whimsey Divine: I do. Mr. Icky: Your record is clean. Divine: Excellent. I have the best constitution in the world— Ulsa: And the worst by-laws. Divine: At Eton I was a member at Pop; at Rugby I belonged to Near-beer. As a younger son I was destined for the police force— Mr. Icky: Skip that.... Have you money?... Divine: Wads of it. I should expect Ulsa to go down town in sections every morning—in two Rolls Royces. I have also a kiddy-car and a converted tank. I have seats at the opera— Ulsa: ( ) I can’t sleep except in a box. And I’ve heard that you were cashiered from your club. Sullenly Mr. Icky: A cashier? ... Divine: ( ) I was cashiered. Hanging his head Ulsa: What for? Divine: ( ) I hid the polo balls one day for a joke. Almost inaudibly Mr. Icky: Is your mind in good shape? Divine: ( ) Fair. After all what is brilliance? Merely the tact to sow when no one is looking and reap when every one is. Gloomily Mr. Icky: Be careful. ... I will not marry my daughter to an epigram.... Divine: ( ) I assure you I’m a mere platitude. I often descend to the level of an innate idea. More gloomily Ulsa: ( ) None of what you’re saying matters. I can’t marry a man who thinks it would be Jack. Why Frank would— Dully Divine: ( ) Nonsense! Interrupting Ulsa: ( ) You’re a fool! Emphatically Mr. Icky: Tut-tut! ... One should not judge ... Charity, my girl. What was it Nero said?—“With malice toward none, with charity toward all—” Peter: That wasn’t Nero. That was John Drinkwater. Mr. Icky: Come! Who is this Frank? Who is this Jack? Divine: ( ) Gotch. Morosely Ulsa: Dempsey. Divine: We were arguing that if they were deadly enemies and locked in a room together which one would come out alive. Now I claimed that Jack Dempsey would take one— Ulsa: ( ) Rot! He wouldn’t have a— Angrily Divine: ( ) You win. Quickly Ulsa: Then I love you again. Mr. Icky: So I’m going to lose my little daughter... Ulsa: You’ve still got a houseful of children. (Charles, Ulsa’s ) brother, coming out of the cottage. He is dressed as if to go to sea; a coil of rope is slung about his shoulder and an anchor is hanging from his neck. Charles: ( ) I’m going to sea! I’m going to sea! Not seeing them ( ) His voice is triumphant. Mr. Icky: ( ) You went to seed long ago. Sadly Charles: I’ve been reading “Conrad.” Peter: ( ) “Conrad,” ah! “Two Years Before the Mast,” by Henry James. Dreamily Charles: What? Peter: Walter Pater’s version of “Robinson Crusoe.” Charles: ( ) I can’t stay here and rot with you. I want to live my life. I want to hunt eels. To his feyther Mr. Icky: I will be here... when you come back.... Charles: ( ) Why, the worms are licking their chops already when they hear your name. Contemptuously ( ) It will be noticed that some of the characters have not spoken for some time. It will improve the technique if they can be rendering a spirited saxophone number. Mr. Icky: ( ) These vales, these hills, these McCormick harvesters—they mean nothing to my children. I understand. Mournfully Charles: ( ) Then you’ll think of me kindly, feyther. To understand is to forgive. More gently Mr. Icky: No...no....We never forgive those we can understand....We can only forgive those who wound us for no reason at all.... Charles: ( ) I’m so beastly sick of your human nature line. And, anyway, I hate the hours around here. Impatiently ( Mr. Icky’s ) Several dozen more of children trip out of the house, trip over the grass, and trip over the pots and dods. They are muttering “We are going away,” and “We are leaving you.” Mr. Icky: ( ) They’re all deserting me. I’ve been too kind. Spare the rod and spoil the fun. Oh, for the glands of a Bismarck. His heart breaking ( Divine’s ) There is a honking outside—probably chauffeur growing impatient for his master. Mr. Icky: ( ) They do not love the soil! They have been faithless to the Great Potato Tradition! ( ) Oh, Wordsworth, Wordsworth, how true you spoke! In misery He picks up a handful of soil passionately and rubs it on his bald head. Hair sprouts. “ No motion has she now, no force; She does not hear or feel; Roll’d round on earth’s diurnal course ” In some one’s Oldsmobile. ( ) They all groan and shouting “Life” and “Jazz” move slowly toward the wings. Charles: Back to the soil, yes! I’ve been trying to turn my back to the soil for ten years! Another Child: The farmers may be the backbone of the country, but who wants to be a backbone? Another Child: I care not who hoes the lettuce of my country if I can eat the salad! All: Life! Psychic Research! Jazz! Mr. Icky: ( ) I must be quaint. That’s all there is. It’s not life that counts, it’s the quaintness you bring to it.... Struggling with himself All: We’re going to slide down the Riviera. We’ve got tickets for Piccadilly Circus. Life! Jazz! Mr. Icky: Wait. Let me read to you from the Bible. Let me open it at random. One always finds something that bears on the situation. ( ) He finds a Bible lying in one of the dods and opening it at random begins to read. “Ahab and Istemo and Anim, Goson and Olon and Gilo, eleven cities and their villages. Arab, and Ruma, and Esaau—” Charles: ( ) Buy ten more rings and try again. Cruelly Mr. Icky: ( ) “How beautiful art thou my love, how beautiful art thou! Thy eyes are dove’s eyes, besides what is hid within. Thy hair is as flocks of goats which come up from Mount Galaad—Hm! Rather a coarse passage....” Trying again ( ) His children laugh at him rudely, shouting “Jazz!” and “All life is primarily suggestive!” Mr. Icky: ( ) It won’t work to-day. ( ) Maybe it’s damp. ( ) Yes, it’s damp.... There was water in the dod.... It won’t work. Despondently Hopefully He feels it All: It’s damp! It won’t work! Jazz! One of the Children: Come, we must catch the six-thirty. ( ) Any other cue may be inserted here. Mr. Icky: Good-by.... ( Mr. Icky ) They all go out. is left alone. He sighs and walking over to the cottage steps, lies down, and closes his eyes. Twilight has come down and the stage is flooded with such light as never was on land or sea. There is no sound except a sheep-herder’s wife in the distance playing an aria from Beethoven’s Tenth Symphony, on a mouth-organ. The great white and gray moths swoop down and light on the old man until he is completely covered by them. But he does not stir. Mr. Icky The curtain goes up and down several times to denote the lapse of several minutes. A good comedy effect can be obtained by having cling to the curtain and go up and down with it. Fireflies or fairies on wires can also be introduced at this point. Peter Then appears, a look of almost imbecile sweetness on his face. In his hand he clutches something and from time to time glances at it in a transport of ecstasy. After a struggle with himself he lays it on the old man’s body and then quietly withdraws. Peter’s The moths chatter among themselves and then scurry away in sudden fright. And as night deepens there still sparkles there, small, white and round, breathing a subtle perfume to the West Issacshire breeze, gift of love—a moth-ball.

MR. ICKY, 
THE QUINTESSENCE OF QUAINTNESS IN ONE ACT

HackerNoon Reporter: Please tell us briefly about your background. My name is Julien Quintard, Founder & CEO of Routine. A long time ago, I was a researcher in a field that recently became very popular with the blockchain. I then founded my first startup in 2010, named Infinit which I sold to Docker in 2016. I then took over the management of Techstars’ accelerator program in Paris from 2018 to 2020. And now I’m working on building a super integrated & fast productivity app. What's your startup called? And in a sentence or two, what does it do? We are called and we are building the next-generation personal productivity app by combining tasks, notes, and the calendar with automation and a super fast interface. Routine What is the origin story? I started Routine because none of the hundreds of entrepreneurs, investors, and managers I talked to are happy with their productivity tools. I’ve been a productivity geek for years now, first as a computer scientist to automate as many things as possible and then as an entrepreneur, trying out all the productivity tools on the market and hacking them to do even more. Unfortunately, none of those were good enough. Also, while mentoring lots of people, I saw how disorganization was a recurrent topic among first-time entrepreneurs and how it directly impacted the velocity of the company. I, therefore, decided to tackle that challenge because I believe the product that will solve that problem will have a massive impact on people’s lives. What do you love about your team, and why are you the ones to solve this problem? We officially started working full-time in October 2020, right during the COVID crisis. The first thing I did was to contact people from my previous company to see if they would be willing to join this new adventure. This is how I partnered with Quentin Hocquet who was my previous company’s (Infinit) CTO. We quickly assembled a small team and started building a prototype. In November 2020, I decided to raise some funds to finance the early days, but also, and most importantly, to surround myself with the smartest entrepreneurs I know. We decided to take a modern approach with natural language processing for users to quickly; capture a thought, task to perform later, or even schedule a meeting. If you weren’t building your startup, what would you be doing? Difficult to say. Likely investing in other entrepreneurs and helping them through the first stages of their company, something I have been doing since 2014 as a business angel but also as Techstars' Managing Director in Paris. But most likely, I would be working on another problem to solve :) At the moment, how do you measure success? What are your core metrics? We measure success primarily with the amount of time the customer is able to save by using our app. We started off by challenging ourselves to save 1 hour every day for our customer, and we hit that target for most of our early users. Our next goal is to see how much more time we can save while keeping the seamless experience of using Routine intact. What’s most exciting about your traction to date? We’ve got about 8000 people on the wait-list just from one Product Hunt launch. We also ranked #1 Product of the day. What technologies are you currently most excited about, and most worried about? And why? We have implemented a fair amount of natural language processing into the Routine experience, so we are very excited about the possibilities that could open up for both our product and the productivity tools space as a whole. In terms of the technology that we are worried about, it would have to be in AI and meta-intelligence in particular that a lot of companies hold on their users and how they are able to manipulate their behavior. There are cases where this meta-intelligence can be put to good use but it is a double-edged sword that people can exploit. What drew you to get published on HackerNoon? What do you like most about our platform? I like the posts around blockchain on HackerNoon, in fact that’s how I discovered it. Lately, I’ve started listening to some of the podcasts by HackerNoon and they are pretty interesting. What advice would you give to the 21-year-old version of yourself? It is okay to take a break when you are tired. It is better to rest strategically and keep yourself on your toes than to find yourself exhausted in the long run. What is something surprising you've learned this year that your contemporaries would benefit from knowing? I learned that when you build B2C tools, it is important to cut features that don’t add much value, as much as adding features that do add a lot of value. Routine is nominated as a . Go vote! startup of the year in Saint-mandé

On Productivity Tools And Time Management With Julien Quintard, Founder Of Routine

Building and supporting software does not require you to be in the office every day. Companies like , , , , and have realized that remote work gives them a recruiting and productivity advantage over the competition. GitLab Digital Ocean CircleCI InVision Stripe We are witnessing a big cultural shift - remote work is going mainstream for engineers in the " " maker's schedule If you double click and look at what makes a developer productive, the biggest revelation is considerable time spent on effective communication.  While there is no doubt that all good developers are great communicators, we feel that remote work increases the burden of communication and extra effort is required to deliver, and subsequently be acknowledged for top notch work! We take a stab at defining the top 3 traits (or habits) of a "quintessential" remote developer: 1. Underpromise and Overdeliver For years, software managers have struggled to measure the value of work people do on a daily basis. Unlike manufacturing, where human activity can be monitored on the factory floor, a developer writing code in front of the computer screen or a test engineer finding and filing bugs can not be gauged for performance on a day to day basis? How do you measure them on the output? It can not be lines of code or bugs filed - it is impossible to generalize the quantity and quality metrics because software development is still a combination of art and science. It is not a  mechanical or robotic activity like assembling phones in a factory. Based on our discussion, we feel that the most valuable remote developers are really good at setting expectations and delivering results on time. Once the work is discussed and the checkpoints are established, the good developers are able to beat expectations on a consistent basis. It is a combination of effective communication and upfront planning. 2. Produce lickable technical content and documentation We had a hard time finding the right word here. In the end, we felt that we need to go metaphorical to get our point across. A person who is working remotely can not have regular water cooler chats. Impromptu whiteboard discussions are not possible. Daily standups are difficult and even with video meetings, it's not always easy to read the body language. If you are working on tasks that can take weeks to complete, how do you describe your progress? Do you write emails every day with every small task you performed during the day? Do you ask for more airtime in every team sync up call? In addition to the actual deliverable (software), stellar remote developers are able to keep everybody in the loop with up to date documentation and well written updates at a regular cadence IOHO. This includes updates on product management tools, wiki pages, shared docs and even external company documentation. As a side note, the award for the most lickable documentation according to our team goes to . Stripe 3. Demonstrate excellent team skills Software Development is a . Most of the time, you are going to interact with other developers and they will need your help in making progress. A good attitude is essential in dealing with the non-linear progress and the troubling "release is always 90% done idiosyncrasy" in our industry. A single bug can take days to troubleshoot. A customer escalation can jeopardize the next milestone. An unexpected delay in a different component or API layer can make your work look incomplete. Do you blame others or do a good job of playing with the team? team sport The key is to avoid medals for individual or personal milestones. A more team based holistic approach is desirable. Empathy is critical to achieve success even in the software lifecycle. Whether you are gathering requirements, providing code review feedback, working with support engineers, or dealing with a difficult manager or colleague, empathy allows you to comprehend what it's like for someone else to be in a tough position. Taking responsibility for your work also means taking responsibility of the team goals. The dance between Maker and Manager There is a misconception that developers don't have to do any "management". The canonical definition of a manager in the software industry is deeply flawed. Every good developer plays a manager role when it comes to communicating and co-ordinating the effort of the team to achieve success. Every great developer is a part-time architect and a part-time team lead or manager. In the book Cal Newport describes the schedule of a person who combines both roles (maker and manager), Wharton professor Adam Grant. Deep Work , In summary, there are a ton of tips on the internet to improve your productivity like long uninterrupted stretches to produce software as a remote developer. Our contribution is to highlight that stellar developers stand out because they product good software and also nail the " " aspect. effective communication Previously published at https://www.devtendo.com/post/the-quintessential-remote-developer
