---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Auren Hoffman <[email protected]> Date: Thu, May 10, 2018 at 10:29 PM Subject: five reading links for May I thought you'd enjoy To: Michel Bauwens <[email protected]> here are five links worth reading/viewing ... 1. Technological Unemployment: Much More Than You Wanted to Know <https://quora.us6.list-manage.com/track/click?u=3d19f711bea06312aefdb0a00&id=121d63302d&e=b690a1d3a3> by Scott Alexander "Technological unemployment is a hard topic because there are such good arguments on both sides." Alexander spends the time to dive into each part of the issue and ultimate concludes that as technology spreads, "we’ll just get people being pushed into worse and worse jobs, in a way that does not inspire widespread sympathy or collective action." Yes, it is a downer ... but super well-research article. 2. Decades-Old Graph Problem Yields to Amateur Mathematician <https://quora.us6.list-manage.com/track/click?u=3d19f711bea06312aefdb0a00&id=1dad1e52f1&e=b690a1d3a3> by Evelyn Lamb Too often we ridicule the non-experts. Or we pity them. But many of the world's biggest problems could benefit from people looking at them with fresh eyes. This is true in math, science, business, law, policy, and more. Aubrey de Grey, a biologist (and Five Links reader), created an elegant solution to a math problem that has been stumping mathematicians for decades. 3. Keep Your Identity Small <https://quora.us6.list-manage.com/track/click?u=3d19f711bea06312aefdb0a00&id=f883107e0a&e=b690a1d3a3> by Paul Graham This oldie (from 2009) is one of the best pieces on understanding social science and social interactions. It is also incredibly good advice. 4. Podcast: Auren on Software Engineering Daily <https://quora.us6.list-manage.com/track/click?u=3d19f711bea06312aefdb0a00&id=6d6e4c2dae&e=b690a1d3a3> with Jeff Meyerson Thoughts on data, machine learning, company culture, hiring practices, and more (packed in under 53 minutes). Jeff Meyerson (also a Five Links reader) did a great job with the interview. 5. book: Microtrends Squared <https://quora.us6.list-manage.com/track/click?u=3d19f711bea06312aefdb0a00&id=036755c291&e=b690a1d3a3> by Mark Penn I loved the original Microtrends book (from 2007) and sequel is just as good. Mark Penn is the former pollster to Bill and Hilary Clinton, fmr CEO at Burson-Marsteller, and fmr exec at Microsoft (and Five Links reader). Microtrends Squared is 50 easy-to-consume micro trends from Love and Relationships, Health and Diet, Technology, Lifestyle, Politics, and Work and Business. 6. bonus for fun: Packets are a conspiracy of dentists and dry cleaners — I despise them <https://quora.us6.list-manage.com/track/click?u=3d19f711bea06312aefdb0a00&id=00b4f0822d&e=b690a1d3a3> by Auren Hoffman A humorous piece to lighten your Spring. *Got forwarded this from a friend (or enemy)?
