This is a popular joke in IT -- but it's also seriously true.
In the original "Jurassic Park" movie, Hammond brags about "sparing no expense" in all the features of the park, but then underpays/understaffs the IT department.
This is then the cause of the downfall of the park.
Such is also true of ransomware. Companies cheap out on IT security: underpaid, understaff, and mostly, undervalued, nobody listens to them. As a result, they get ransomware which sometimes bankrupts the company.
Jurassic Park is a cautionary tale of how not to treat IT.
Robert Greene just shared the most brutally honest lesson on suffering, recovery after a stroke, and achievement:
“It took me nearly 7 years to write this book, and I don’t care if it doesn’t sell a single copy. I’ve never felt more pride in myself that I overcame all of this.”
Robert Greene shares how, after his stroke, he couldn’t type, couldn’t walk to clear his mind, and had to handwrite an entire book, page after page, notebook after notebook, for nearly seven years.
"I was like a bird in a cage."
What came out of it wasn’t just a book, but a level of endurance and self-overcoming he says he’s never felt before.
The prize for the weirdest population pyramid of the interwar period belongs to Vienna without a doubt. In the 1930s, the TFR of the former imperial capital dropped below 0.7 children per woman and was lower than anywhere else ever recorded up until then.
At the library, borrow a guidebook to your local city or region and play tourist. Go see the sites the guidebook mentions, the ones that you have always meant to visit but have not all these years. Eat at the renowned restaurant, ascend to the best views, visit that weird museum. Pretend you are a tourist visiting for the first time, and see your hometown with new eyes and appreciation. For this active staycation, you don’t have to pack. #KKtraveltips
