Making right desicions when you don't have all the facts. ... Even the best decision doesn't yield the best outcome every time. There's always an element of luck that you can't control, and there's always information hidden from view. So the key to long-term success (and avoiding worrying yourself to death) is to think in bets: How sure am I? What are the possible ways things could turn out? What decision has the highest odds of success? Did I land in the unlucky 10% on the strategy that works 90% of the time? Or is my success attributable to dumb luck rather than great decision making?

Foreword by Bill Gates. ... Microsoft President Brad Smith operates by a simple core belief: when your technology changes the world, you bear a responsibility to help address the world you have helped create. This might seem uncontroversial, but it flies in the face of a tech sector long obsessed with rapid growth and sometimes on disruption as an end in itself. Now, though, we have reached an inflection point: Silicon Valley has moved fast and it has broken things. A new understanding has emerged that companies that create technology must accept greater responsibility for the future. And governments will need to regulate ... |

Das Ziel, das ich mit dem hier vorgestellten Buch verfolge, ist eine Gegenüberstellung der Informationen, die uns die alten Autoren überlieferten, um Schlüsse zu ziehen über das Volk, das den bulgarischen Staat auf dem Balkan erweitert hat, ohne auf die Schlussfolgerungen der von mir studierten zahlreichen Bücher gegenwärtiger Autoren einzugehen, deren Veröffentlichungen meine private Bibliothek füllen.

Traditions and their Transformations in the British Cinema of the 90s, of the 20th Century ... Writing this book was a strange journey over bridges across different cultures.
The title is a metaphor of the hybrid, intellectual and anti-spectacular british feature cinema from the end of the 20th century with affinity to egalitarianism, minimalism of the "short form", archetypal imagery and hedonism. It is a triumph of the expansive yough's counter-culture with it's intrinsic intolerance of authority, power and cliches. The transformation of tradition in the context of instability of the national- ... |
