I love this little article on so many levels. My once and (future? :P) cofounder Varun, made our startup team watch Devdutt's East vs West the myths that mystify Ted talk until we grokked it. Myths provide a way to sorta grasp at the water in which we live, to use that famous "This is Water" talk sorta way. In the "West," we take the worldview of the Abrahamic faiths as a given, even the growing number of secular folks operate within a monolithic paradigm rather than being comfortable with the idea of many truths, circular rather than linear views of history and the like. Rather than yet-another-ponderous take on that, I've been itching on a riff. Monkey King! That figure journeys to the "West" which as Devdutt notes is India from Tang era China (actually still true today). He has a lot of campy adventures that also offer powerful parables of well I suppose everything and nothing, the mysteries of the human yada What if he came West? Today.

Who's using the new chrome? I am still deciding how I feel about it. Switching back is a bit of a pain. This definitely seems to align with Google as the new Microsoft theory with chrome now being a fast follower eating up featuring from the chromium innovation ecosystem.

The bittersweet and often broken relationship between Venice and Byzantium feels like a good parallel with tech and CA gov today Venice - virtual warehouses (Amazon analogy) - trader ethic - networked - small, agile, nimble - ships -> naval power Byzantium - center of the world (think landholders) - guardian ethic - center - 10x the resources - walls, army -> hubris Playing around a bit and may elaborate more in the future. There is definitely something there in Venice's innovations in norms aka breaking the rules in trading with the infidels and Byzantium's complacent focus on owning land rather than scrappily trading for advantage
