Education Isn’t (will not only be…) MOOCs

Just finished the scheme of Nov 6th, now this… Nice fill-in of at least a little of the ‘Edu’ subject… Though I wrote about this before. See e.g., these posts. For the rest, I’ll leave you with the original.

Old mass education

Everyone under 18, and anyone 18 and older, needs a massive re-schooling in all things new. Yes that includes the savants that can hack (99,9% of which is just script kiddies, more on that below), and it includes those that may be slow learners due to age. But first, a picture: [Pfanner, Lucca] The subjects … Continue reading “Old mass education”

No Control but another Cycle

Tinkering with the learned stuff from recent discussions among peers, and including e.g., this and this past post among many related ones, I realised: The good ol’BCG matrix is still very, very valid today, with most large orgs stiffly in the bottom right corner (Dogs) or less right but all desperately trying to move their … Continue reading “No Control but another Cycle”

Meritocracy not working (anymore)

Very small group, since a minute fraction of the Western world pop, … Continue reading “Ethics for lunch”

CTC for better ‘cyber’sec

You guessed it; another note on ‘cyber’security, rounding up a couple of ideas that floated by recently. Which was triggered by this Comment. No, no, not a comment on this blog, don’t be stupid to assume that there has ever been one [rounded up]. Which made me think of actual developments in ‘cyber’ altogether [dammit, … Continue reading “CTC for better ‘cyber’sec”

Intermission: 80s – 20s

Well, well, we we at it again. An On The Job assessment of recruiting-HR. If you wondered: It didn’t go well – for the also present possible/prospective chief [hereafter: chief] with a somewhat-urgent vacancy. The following may read as accusative to the feeble-hearted reader, but is not meant to be other than an ironic display; … Continue reading “Intermission: 80s – 20s”
