Central London. Waitrose delivery person in the lift: “We do 9-10h shift. What people used to order only on special occasions, like Christmas, now they order every single day.”

Just wait for people to be offered overnight (Amazom started in US) and sub-hour delivery via drones.

Such a great and generous addition from one of my favourite startups https://t.co/HCKosO8miL

“If we can maintain fusion for five seconds, we can do it for five minutes and then five hours as we scale up our operations in future machines.”

There’s a huge difference between predicting the future and identifying and connecting subtle/faint signals to anticipate what could come next.

The former is a folly. The latter looks identical to the former to those that cannot see the signals.

@h_dawe Thanks for sharing it, David. This is one of those books that comes up over and over. It’s already on my list: https://t.co/9rHgVzhj5m
