The presenter speaks to Sarah Cooper, comedian and former Google employee. She has just published “a handy manual” for women in male-dominated environments called ‘How to be successful without hurting men’s feelings’. "You’re a woman at a meeting and you just spotted that your male colleague has made a mistake," the presenter asks, "What do you do?" You kind of want to put yourself down a little bit and say you’re not sure and you don’t even really like numbers, you don’t even understand math really, but maybe these numbers might be wrong? When emailing a request, don’t say: show this to me. People will think you are mean. So use a lot of emojis, smiley faces, exclamation marks, XOXO if you want... Just make it seem really really friendly. "Are you trying to make grown women seem like little girls in the way that they communicate?" the presenter asks. People expect women to do this, Cooper says. "If we just respond in a direct way with 'no', people will think: wow, she is in a bad mood." She advices: Read my book and then stop doing all of these things. Before this part, you can also listen to an interview with Renee Adams of Said Business School at Oxford University. In the business world it’s often argued that having more women on the company’s board improves a company’s productivity, financial performance and value. The professor says: In the current policy debate everyone appeals to the commercial reasons for increasing gender diversity. But that evidence is simply not robust. It’s very hard to measure the actual benefits of diversity, but I think there is a case to be made for quotas to be argued on the basis of fairness. The presenter also speaks to Gay Collins of the 30% Club, a global movement that campaigns for more women on corporate boards, who says: There is no doubt that a diverse board makes better decisions. <https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?text=How%20To%20Be%20Successful%20Without%20Hurting%20Men%E2%80%99s%20Feelings%20https%3A%2F%2Fwww.piqd.com%2Fboom-bust%2Fhow-to-be-successful-without-hurting-men-s-feelings-9ba27f4f-1a2c-4992-a408-dfbf12297eb3%3Futm_source%3DTwitter%26utm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_campaign%3Dnewsletter_sharing%20via%20%40piqd_com%20by%20%40thessalageman> <https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.piqd.com%2Fboom-bust%2Fhow-to-be-successful-without-hurting-men-s-feelings-9ba27f4f-1a2c-4992-a408-dfbf12297eb3%3Futm_source%3DFacebook%26utm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_campaign%3Dnewsletter_sharing> <https://www.piqd.com/tracking/boom-bust/how-to-be-successful-without-hurting-men-s-feelings-9ba27f4f-1a2c-4992-a408-dfbf12297eb3?cid=627eed218b467b80645dd5ce5b66b877&ref=dailydigest&source=DailyDigestEmail&utm_campaign=viewpiq&utm_content=2018-11-13&utm_medium=email&utm_source=dailydigest> <https://mandrillapp.com/track/click/30835283/www.piqd.com?p=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> Source: Manuela Saragosa | bbc.co.uk on | Language: EN BBC World Service - Business Daily, Bossy Women and Women Bosses Read article <https://mandrillapp.com/track/click/30835283/www.piqd.com?p=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> <https://mandrillapp.com/track/click/30835283/www.piqd.com?p=eyJzIjoidFFPT09UVVdfT19qRGExeTVFMGtidXR6UjJzIiwidiI6MSwicCI6IntcInVcIjozMDgzNTI4MyxcInZcIjoxLFwidXJsXCI6XCJodHRwczpcXFwvXFxcL3d3dy5waXFkLmNvbVxcXC91c2Vyc1xcXC93aWxsLmtoZXJiZWtcIixcImlkXCI6XCJlZjQxYzJhY2ZmYmQ0MDFmYjUzNDU5OWUwN2M5NzY5ZFwiLFwidXJsX2lkc1wiOltcImM5MzU0OGU4NTlmMDM2MzZmZDZhZjM3NzkzMzMyOGZkMDM0YjEyYWFcIl19In0> piqer: Will Kherbek 5 <https://www.piqd.com/tracking/boom-bust/uncertain-futures-how-economists-think-about-uncertainty?cid=627eed218b467b80645dd5ce5b66b877&ref=dailydigest&source=DailyDigestEmail&utm_campaign=viewpiq&utm_content=2018-11-13&utm_medium=email&utm_source=dailydigest> Uncertain Futures: How Economists Think About Uncertainty <https://www.piqd.com/tracking/boom-bust/uncertain-futures-how-economists-think-about-uncertainty?cid=627eed218b467b80645dd5ce5b66b877&ref=dailydigest&source=DailyDigestEmail&utm_campaign=viewpiq&utm_content=2018-11-13&utm_medium=email&utm_source=dailydigest> Shortly after the economic crash of 2008, The Queen of England met with a group of economists and asked a simple question: “Why did no one see it coming?”. Whether anyone saw the crash coming is a disputable point, but the answer she was given was that there was a “collective failure of the imagination” on the part of the leading lights of economics. The question of how economists can visualise a future, particularly a future that is increasingly unpredictable and volatile, is the subject matter of the book *Uncertain Futures*, which is edited by Richard Bronk and Jens Beckert. These eminent economic scholars join a panel discussion including Lord Adair Turner, Dr. Waultraud Schelkle, and Dr. Ekaterina Svetlova in this mind-stretching podcast from London School of Economics. The key to creating economies that are safe for the future, the panelists argue, are two elements that are not traditionally acknowledged as aspects of economic thinking: narrative and imagination. In an economic environment characterised by “radical uncertainty” - in which no individual can know enough to effectively manage and maintain a system as complex as the global economy - the ways in which economic stories are told to politicians and the public matter greatly. “It’s not just about calculation," Dr. Svetlova says, “but how narratives are negotiated”. In discussing how such narratives gain purchase on the public imagination, the scholars dip into the literature of dozens of fields of study including ecology, cognitive science, philosophy, and (of course) economics. The discussion is complex, but not technical, indeed, the hyper-mathematical economics of the present is itself a concern. Lord Turner notes that the importance of distinguishing what can and cannot be known, mathematised, and modeled is an imperative for economists of the future. Too much certainty about uncertainty, the panelists remind the listener, can blind a person to reality. <https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?text=Uncertain%20Futures%3A%20How%20Economists%20Think%20About%20Uncertainty%20https%3A%2F%2Fwww.piqd.com%2Fboom-bust%2Funcertain-futures-how-economists-think-about-uncertainty%3Futm_source%3DTwitter%26utm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_campaign%3Dnewsletter_sharing%20via%20%40piqd_com> <https://mandrillapp.com/track/click/30835283/www.facebook.com?p=eyJzIjoiMWRIRnkwTlA5UTY3U0ttVmdNWVlLX2pPUG53IiwidiI6MSwicCI6IntcInVcIjozMDgzNTI4MyxcInZcIjoxLFwidXJsXCI6XCJodHRwczpcXFwvXFxcL3d3dy5mYWNlYm9vay5jb21cXFwvc2hhcmVyXFxcL3NoYXJlci5waHA_dT1odHRwcyUzQSUyRiUyRnd3dy5waXFkLmNvbSUyRmJvb20tYnVzdCUyRnVuY2VydGFpbi1mdXR1cmVzLWhvdy1lY29ub21pc3RzLXRoaW5rLWFib3V0LXVuY2VydGFpbnR5JTNGdXRtX3NvdXJjZSUzREZhY2Vib29rJTI2dXRtX21lZGl1bSUzRHNvY2lhbCUyNnV0bV9jYW1wYWlnbiUzRG5ld3NsZXR0ZXJfc2hhcmluZ1wiLFwiaWRcIjpcImVmNDFjMmFjZmZiZDQwMWZiNTM0NTk5ZTA3Yzk3NjlkXCIsXCJ1cmxfaWRzXCI6W1wiNjViZmFiYTQyYTdmNDMyNGQxZWUyOTY2OTllYTA0M2JhNmRmNDNiYlwiXX0ifQ> <https://www.piqd.com/tracking/boom-bust/uncertain-futures-how-economists-think-about-uncertainty?cid=627eed218b467b80645dd5ce5b66b877&ref=dailydigest&source=DailyDigestEmail&utm_campaign=viewpiq&utm_content=2018-11-13&utm_medium=email&utm_source=dailydigest> <https://mandrillapp.com/track/click/30835283/www.piqd.com?p=eyJzIjoiZnNBQVBTeVV3SGxfWGJoLWNCd2ZwUXA1Z1ZBIiwidiI6MSwicCI6IntcInVcIjozMDgzNTI4MyxcInZcIjoxLFwidXJsXCI6XCJodHRwczpcXFwvXFxcL3d3dy5waXFkLmNvbVxcXC90cmFja2luZ1xcXC9ib29tLWJ1c3RcXFwvdW5jZXJ0YWluLWZ1dHVyZXMtaG93LWVjb25vbWlzdHMtdGhpbmstYWJvdXQtdW5jZXJ0YWludHlcXFwvb3JpZ2luYWw_Y2lkPTYyN2VlZDIxOGI0NjdiODA2NDVkZDVjZTViNjZiODc3JnNvdXJjZT1EYWlseURpZ2VzdEVtYWlsXCIsXCJpZFwiOlwiZWY0MWMyYWNmZmJkNDAxZmI1MzQ1OTllMDdjOTc2OWRcIixcInVybF9pZHNcIjpbXCIxYmIzYjNmMDY4YmQ5M2JmNmUyNTBiYjdjYTA5MzgzOTU2MjRkZGJiXCJdfSJ9> Source: LSE Podcasts | soundcloud.com on 11/05/2018 | Image: LSE Public Lectures | Language: EN Uncertain Futures: imaginaries, narratives, and calculation in the economy [Audio] by LSE Podcasts Read article <https://mandrillapp.com/track/click/30835283/www.piqd.com?p=eyJzIjoiZnNBQVBTeVV3SGxfWGJoLWNCd2ZwUXA1Z1ZBIiwidiI6MSwicCI6IntcInVcIjozMDgzNTI4MyxcInZcIjoxLFwidXJsXCI6XCJodHRwczpcXFwvXFxcL3d3dy5waXFkLmNvbVxcXC90cmFja2luZ1xcXC9ib29tLWJ1c3RcXFwvdW5jZXJ0YWluLWZ1dHVyZXMtaG93LWVjb25vbWlzdHMtdGhpbmstYWJvdXQtdW5jZXJ0YWludHlcXFwvb3JpZ2luYWw_Y2lkPTYyN2VlZDIxOGI0NjdiODA2NDVkZDVjZTViNjZiODc3JnNvdXJjZT1EYWlseURpZ2VzdEVtYWlsXCIsXCJpZFwiOlwiZWY0MWMyYWNmZmJkNDAxZmI1MzQ1OTllMDdjOTc2OWRcIixcInVybF9pZHNcIjpbXCIxYmIzYjNmMDY4YmQ5M2JmNmUyNTBiYjdjYTA5MzgzOTU2MjRkZGJiXCJdfSJ9> Technology and society <https://mandrillapp.com/track/click/30835283/www.piqd.com?p=eyJzIjoiWV9IVUU4RXZkU0RPV2w5ZldBR1hQb3huY1ZjIiwidiI6MSwicCI6IntcInVcIjozMDgzNTI4MyxcInZcIjoxLFwidXJsXCI6XCJodHRwczpcXFwvXFxcL3d3dy5waXFkLmNvbVxcXC90ZWNobm9sb2d5LXBvbGl0aWNzXCIsXCJpZFwiOlwiZWY0MWMyYWNmZmJkNDAxZmI1MzQ1OTllMDdjOTc2OWRcIixcInVybF9pZHNcIjpbXCJhNjcyZmU2NjVhMjRkMzJjODdlNTExYWEyNjQ2YTliMDcxOGYxZjM3XCJdfSJ9> <https://mandrillapp.com/track/click/30835283/www.piqd.com?p=eyJzIjoiaE5wMUp0WFhPZkVDTmxuTWl6d2hUVzN3SlZBIiwidiI6MSwicCI6IntcInVcIjozMDgzNTI4MyxcInZcIjoxLFwidXJsXCI6XCJodHRwczpcXFwvXFxcL3d3dy5waXFkLmNvbVxcXC91c2Vyc1xcXC9yb3NoYXduLnRlcnJlbGxcIixcImlkXCI6XCJlZjQxYzJhY2ZmYmQ0MDFmYjUzNDU5OWUwN2M5NzY5ZFwiLFwidXJsX2lkc1wiOltcIjY0OTI5NWYxNWY2N2MxM2VlYmFmYjNiZDIwMTY4NzVjODkwZjFiMjNcIl19In0> piqer: Roshawn Terrell 5 <https://www.piqd.com/tracking/technology-politics/why-self-taught-artificial-intelligence-has-trouble-with-the-real-world?cid=627eed218b467b80645dd5ce5b66b877&ref=dailydigest&source=DailyDigestEmail&utm_campaign=viewpiq&utm_content=2018-11-13&utm_medium=email&utm_source=dailydigest> Why Self-Taught Artificial Intelligence Has Trouble With the Real World <https://www.piqd.com/tracking/technology-politics/why-self-taught-artificial-intelligence-has-trouble-with-the-real-world?cid=627eed218b467b80645dd5ce5b66b877&ref=dailydigest&source=DailyDigestEmail&utm_campaign=viewpiq&utm_content=2018-11-13&utm_medium=email&utm_source=dailydigest> Listen to this podcast from Quantamagazine that covers the current state of the art of artificial intelligence, and why current techniques still have trouble with the real world. The first notable achievement, was probably when IBM's Deep Blue computer beat Garry Kasparov at chess in 1997. They did this in part by building their algorithm based off of centuries of chess wisdom. There have been many chess engines since then, with one the most powerful being Stockfish which analyzes over 70 million moves per second. Chess was beat, though only through brute force calculation. However the game of Go, is a much tougher nut to crack. As simple as the rules are, Go is a game of profound complexity. There are an astonishing 10 to the power of 170 possible board configurations - more than the number of atoms in the known universe - making Go a googol times more complex than Chess. You literally wouldn't have enough matter in the universe to build a computer capable calculating all the possible moves. Which is why it's so fascinating that the human brain can handle the game so well. Only recently with the power of algorithms modeled off of the human brain have we been able to conquer Go. The problem with all of these games though, is that they are games of 'perfect information,' which means the players see everything that's happening on the board at all times. The real world however, is mostly comprised of 'hidden information,' where you don't have all the variables, and yet you still must make a decision. Currently Deepmind the company that built the algorithm that conquered Go, are now setting their eyes toward a game known as StarCraft II. Which is a real time strategy game of immense complexity where players must make decisions based off of hidden imperfect information all the time. As the battlefield in the game is covered in a 'fog of war,' allowing the enemy to obscure their positions.
