Unscientific gTLD poll/question
If you know someone who would like to operate a new unrestricted gTLD — an open one, not a “sponsored” one — could you let me know?
I don't want to know what the string is (so please don't tell me). I'm just trying to get a sense.
New book excitement
This looks interesting — Scott Page, “The Difference: How the Power of Diversity Creates Better Groups, Firms, Schools, and Societies.” From the introduction:
If we sample widely, we're more likely to find the one person who can solve the problem or who can make the key breakthrough. We did not get the theory of relativ[ity] from a crowd. We got it from a diverse, novel thinker in a patent office.
I'll let you know how it turns out.
