This is an article for Harris/Trump election discussion. Nobody is talking about automating American ports. Where are the autonomous tugboats? How about human free container movements? Maybe this presidential elections is lost on technology.

Tom Ciccotta : have you talked to the math society about who is pushing this issue? Is there a donor or a personal motive to this issue making its way to the press?

Re: The Threat of a Trump Dictatorship

AmiV2 — Mon, 03 Aug 2020 10:18:38 -0000

Your rational is based on what you have seen the last 3 years. Chaos, little to no empathy, almost no trust in experts and mostly a man who likes to win and is willing to lie and steal doing it. But, from all past experiences, Trump actually gives up once he is beaten. He moves on to the next battle, declares a victory, but he is gone. He has done this dozens of times. It seem like he knows he is beaten, He know there is no real popular support to his ideas. He has not made an impact in any area which he tried. This pattern is true for everything he has done in life (read "Everything Trump Touches Dies"). So trying to stay on, is not in his character at all. He may be strange and he blames others and does not take responsibility, but when the game is over, he goes on to e a new one. https://uploads.disquscdn.c...

The American legal term "indictment" is not exactly parallel to the Israeli legal equivalent. Netanyahu is actually going to a trial over 3 "indictments" - here there is one less step which means the state prosecutor has entered a case into the court.

it will be nice to add sharing buttons, especially twitter, facebook, linkedin and mail (i.e. AddThis // etc.)

Re: Is It Worth It To Blog Anymore? I’m Upgrading!

AmiV2 — Sun, 05 Aug 2018 12:28:59 -0000

I noticed a split in "word people" and "non-word people". Essentially reading and writing is not picked up by most people. This was always the case. Steve Jobs laughed at Amazon for the Kindle. His reasoning? On an average, Americans read one book a year. So why should they buy a device that can hold 200 to 1,000 books? We are seeing this divide now that the blog, essentially personal writing, is going on 25 years. Nice to see that you are a word person!

Re: Is the Age of Social Media as We Know It Over?

Great writing on the state of social-media change. We are living in constant Flux and as things change people will join and drop constantly. The use of social media for different messages and applications (selling, promotion, politics, technology is also a fascinating world to track.

Regardless of how it's done, privately or government run, the US is still developing great space technology. Progress is not always linear, yet milestones are a good way to see results. Congratulations Dream Chaser team!

Re: Could Cognitive Scientists Eliminate ISIS? | Scott Adams' Blog

AmiV2 — Fri, 10 Mar 2017 09:54:54 -0000

Too theoretical and refined. Most Muslims come as total outsiders. They can't fake locals to save their life

Re: Could Cognitive Scientists Eliminate ISIS? | Scott Adams' Blog

AmiV2 — Fri, 10 Mar 2017 09:53:01 -0000

Nice, finally humor emulating how the Muslim fringe thinks and live. But in reality most refugees want a big home in a quiet suburb and all the modern gadgets they see on TV.

A funny comment on a funny blog 😉

Re: Could Cognitive Scientists Eliminate ISIS? | Scott Adams' Blog

AmiV2 — Fri, 10 Mar 2017 03:29:55 -0000

This discussion is at the least cruel and at the most irrelevant. From an American perspective it seems obvious to think of technology and psychology as a solution. But the phenomenon of ISIS comes from economy and security. In many countries people have been dieing and hungry for decades. Work on educating small Muslim children from an early age and send Iraq engineers, doctors and teachers. Then, after balancing the spending between destruction and consideration, start thinking about psychology. Sorry for the preaching, Adams is a funny guy, but knows nothing about the real world

Re: Social Networks for Engineers

AmiV2 — Tue, 18 Oct 2016 06:26:56 -0000

It seems like social networking tends to mean "new social networking" or "big / mainstream" sites. StackOverflow and the child sites seems to be more for programmers, but also for engineers. Lots of sharing and advice there, especially if you are in IT, DevOps or s/w dev.

Re: Will the Content Bubble Burst? What’s Next?

AmiV2 — Thu, 22 Sep 2016 04:08:01 -0000

There is a lingering impression among marketers from the days of limited channel size: TV, newspapers, magazines, catalogs, etc... This simply seems like perspective of entrenched experienced marketers and publishers. While traditional marketing business is benefiting from new technology and using the term "content marketing" as a rally cry to move forward, there are many new marketers who simply blog, network, publish and influence. Without the strings to traditional formats and channels they are showing everyone that "content" counts, but most of all relevant, focused, direct and highly specific writing and networking is what we can do today. Anyway, great writing and good to see links and discussions in this group.

Re: How to Solve the Marketing Skills Gap In Your Company

AmiV2 — Fri, 11 Sep 2015 08:02:29 -0000

the section: "Because today’s marketers don’t want to deal with technology."
seems a bit harsh. In the case where "they don't want" -- I would say, dump your iPhone and close down your Twitter account. I face this all the time and find it very strange. This tends to be really true with older experienced marketers with deep domain knowledge (they know the field, products, customers and competitors) - sorry to make such a weeping generalization (about older marketers). One solution is to hire a younger (or more capable "digital") specialist that will do some of the work (configure tools, edit HTML, design and process images) and also teach the others some skills. Overall GREAT topic and writing.

Re: 5 Simple Hacks That Will Boost Your Productivity at Work

AmiV2 — Thu, 11 Jun 2015 05:37:26 -0000

a very long piece about focus... never the less, gives a snapshot of your (maybe personal) distraction perspective. Taking notes, keeping "laundry" lists, prioritizing, cleaning up tasks, all this "getting things done stuff" is very old, maybe a century old. It would be nice to 1. have it in smaller pieces so we can digest it without making this blog a "distraction" 2. use classic or modern references to get this blog less "daPulse" exclusive feel -- David Allen's "getting things done" is one good starter piece. (ref. Amazon under:
Books : Business & Money : Skills : Time Management
has 5,972 results -- the first 20 would probably be a good way to get your message across... ;-)

Re: 30 Self-Help Books That Permanently Changed My Life

AmiV2 — Sat, 31 Jan 2015 12:53:39 -0000

Byron Katie gave me a jolt. I also agree with "fiction books..." comment. I read Jack Kerouac for the n-th time (probably 5th +) and he gave me a jolt. I say jolt, because sometimes this is what I need to stop just looking close around me and notice how wonderful the world is and what people are really doing. Nice list, most I have not thought of as useful. But your writing is great. Did you write the comments on Amazon???

Re: B2B Marketing 101: LinkedIn Social Selling

AmiV2 — Tue, 30 Dec 2014 11:14:46 -0000

One more excellent article on this blog! Linked-In is a wonderful tool, but it needs work to get yourself enough contacts, some kind of reputation in the groups, and enough "re-published" (or even original) posts. Prospecting using advanced search is also time consuming. But, in some industries, this is one of the only resource with the data you may need. Like where a person worked and what he has done 10 years ago. We use it extensively, together with other resources (data.com, zoominfo) and with a good work flow and enough practice it pays of. Thanks for the info, I learned a few small tricks here.

Re: Hear the Story of B2B Marketing Influencer Murray Newlands

AmiV2 — Mon, 29 Dec 2014 14:08:56 -0000

Hi Valerie, I wanted to comment for two reasons. 1) You have a great blog and this article is nicely written. A follow up on how to do PR with bloggers and more casual editors which are not the traditional publications would be nice to see. 2) You hardly see comments on your blog. So I assume there is some promotion in the social media channels (as before in blogs and less mainstream sites as well). So I hope this helps gets the trend starting (commenting and participating that is ;-)

Re: NYPD Twitter campaign backfires in a big way

AmiV2 — Wed, 23 Apr 2014 14:05:36 -0000

What an excellent way to figure out what people think of you. Shouldn't someone at the NYPD take this seriously (sarcastically: that most people do remember being beaten up, and the pictures they took and not the directions they got to the MET?)
