"I like to putter in the morning. I like to read the newspaper. I like to have coffee. I like to have breakfast with my kids before they go to school. My puttering time is very important to me. That's why I set my first meeting at 10 o'clock"
"I like to do my high IQ meetings before lunch. Anything that's going to be really mentally challenging, that's a 10 o'clock meeting. Because by 5pm, I'm like, I can't think about that today. Let's try this again tomorrow at 10am"
"As a senior executive, what do you really get paid to do? You get paid to make a small number of high quality decisions. If I make three good decisions a day, that's enough. Warren Buffett says he's good if he makes three good decisions a year"

Bjarne Stroustrup (Creator of C++) on the costs of abstraction: "It's compiled away. This is why I talk about zero overhead abstraction.

Not the burner phones.
Not the charging cables.
Not the credentials.
Not the lapel pins.
Not even the gifts.
Everything Chinese-issued was dumped before boarding.

Privately, the U.S. delegation was acting like every room had ears, every device was compromised, and every “souvenir” might come with a second job.
That’s the real diplomacy.

“He said he has 10K lasers in space,” referring to his satellites.
“This is not a piece they’ll see on the chess board.”
