Ben Thompson: Chips and Geopolitics. Clayton Christensen, in 2003’s The Innovator’s Solution, explained how the natural course of industries was from interdependent architectures to modular ones. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC), the company Chang founded in 1987, is arguably the single best example of the process Christensen described. (more)

Handlin, Oscar, The Americans (Boston: Little, Brown, 1963), 114: "Select clubs (in the mid-18th century colonies) could only meet in the tavern, where every outsider curiously looked on."

Adam Keesling: Use a Zwicky Box To Solve Hard Problems in Unexpected Ways. A Zwicky Box allows you to search the solution space for the best answer, by allowing you to break up the solution into its component parts and endlessly recombine them to find new solutions you haven’t thought of. It’s like a LEGO set for problem solving. (more)
