This week’s links:
- The Top Idea in Your Mind: by Paul Graham. “It’s a disaster to let the wrong idea become the top one in your mind.”
- Estimating Lifetime Value: by Jeremy Liew. “You actually see a full customer lifetime, which can help in accelerating decisions about marketing and customer acquisition.”
- How Will You Measure Your Life? by Clayton Christensen. “On the last day of class, I ask my students to turn those theoretical lenses on themselves, to find cogent answers to three questions: First, how can I be sure that I’ll be happy in my career? Second, how can I be sure that my relationships with my spouse and my family become an enduring source of happiness? Third, how can I be sure I’ll stay out of jail?”
- New Cities for Old: by R Jagannathan in DNA. “Creating new cities is easier than renewing existing ones for commonsense reasons. One, its costlier to construct infrastructure in overpopulated areas. Two, it will also take longer.”
- India’s Gandhi God-Kings: by Sadanand Dhume in The Wall Street Journal. “Opaque family rule is no way to run a political party, let alone a major economy and aspiring great power.”
