Cybernetic Organism (Cybernetics); A cyborg (short for "cybernetic organism") is a being with both organic and biomechatronic body parts. The term was coined in 1960 by Manfred Clynes and Nathan S. Kline.[1] The term cyborg is not the same thing as bionic, biorobot or android; it applies to an organism that has restored function or enhanced abilities due to the integration of some artificial component or technology that relies on some sort of Feedback. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyborg (more)

Matt Brown: The iron triangle of embedded fintech. In the 2010s the biggest fintechs were product innovators... Chime’s branchless bank, Robinhood’s fun fee-free trading, innovative consumer credit products like Earnin’s earned-wage-access or Afterpay’s buy-now-pay-later. (more)

Mark Lipsky on Gigantic Digital's attempt to mix theatrical and digital distribution (Film Industry). The two biggest challenges we faced were 1) how to protect the integrity (read exclusivity) of the bricks and mortar engagements and 2) how to convince local media in the top 100 markets that a new film opening exclusively online in their market was virtually the same as a new film opening at the local art house - and that they should cover it as such... In the first case the answer was geo-targeting. With Gigantic Digital we have the ability to turn on or turn off access to our content in real time and at very fine granularity. In other words, if a film is or will be opening theatrically in, say, San Francisco, we can limit access in the greater San Francisco area - or in the entire state of California - until after the theatrical engagement(s) there has complete. (Artificial Scarcity)... As for convincing local media that Gigantic Digital represented the future of independent film distribution, that would be a matter of literally thousands of phone calls and emails and thousands more follow-ups. We were relentless yet patient; our outreach was personal, One To One and genuine; we were willing to hand-hold and cajole; and we were right.

Boris Mann: Networked Orgs and tooling. I am hugely inspired by Protocol Labs and their “versioning” approach to company and organizational evolution. This current version sees the birth of the Protocol Labs Network, or #pln, to which Fission is lucky enough to have been invited to become a member of. (more)

Peter Kaminski on Git Branching and Pull Requests for Collaborative Writing (group email). I can sense that there will be growing need for collaborative work on agreements, most of which will live on the Lionsberg Wiki and therefore be in markdown. We have been using HackMD for collaboration - is there a way to track and comment on changes? (more)
