Insisting

I’ve just seen Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014) – IMDb: In the movie, everybody insists: Captain America is a regular guy with big wishes. He insists, he gets superpowers. He has a friend, the winter soldier. He insists. He gets superpowers. Hydra has some problems. They insist. The solve the issue. There’s a fight. At some point, somebody just insists. The good guys win by insisting, the bad guys win by insisting. The movie is so incredibly stupid. The Bond series used to do the same. Did James Bond like gadgets? Let him have the best gadgets. Did he have a car? Let him have the best car. Usually, the villain also had some gadgets, and some cars, but Bond was, generally better. In Skyfall (2012), things changed. He doesn’t get get a big gun, but a small pistol. Old style, very simple, very small. He doesn’t get an advanced gadget. He gets a radio frequency emitter. A small radio, that is. That’s all he gets. You generally know that James Bond is going to use the gadget: Setting up fantastic gadgets and intriguing devices is a cornerstone of the spy genre, and the James Bond franchise in particular. When the buzz-saw watch is issued to James Bond by Q, it seems a bit fantastic, but still congruent with the world Bond inhabits: a world of super-villains, gorgeous female spies, deceptive appearances, and cool gadgets, cars, and weapons. So we have no problem accepting the existence of the watch. And with that set-up accomplished, the …

Librarie.net – cel mai über-tare site de cumpărat cărți noi online!

Metode de a citi o carte - online / bibliotecă / second-hand / carte nouă

Aseară m-am uitat după niște cărți, de cumpărat online. Luam o carte oarecare de pe librărie.net, o comparam cu prețurile de pe elefant.ro. Toate, dar absolut toate, inclusiv cele de la promoție pe elefant, erau mai ieftine pe librărie.net. Am comparat cu eMAG. Același lucru. Dacă aș căuta titlul cărții pe price.ro și pe alte comparatoare de prețuri, dacă aș căuta la Google „titlu carte preț” (de pus și cuvântul „preț”) și aș merge din link în link, sunt sigur că, cel puțin pentru cărți individuale, aș găsi ceva mai ieftin. Dar, la modul general, librărie.net e un site foarte OK la preț. Am comandat de trei ori cărți de la ei, de fiecare date au fost profesioniști. Un amic mi-a recomandat și edituri.net. De văzut. De văzut și: Metode de a citi o carte – online / bibliotecă / second-hand / carte nouă: Olivian Breda. P.S. #1, 2014.08.12: am mai comandat o dată. :)

De ce să cumperi de pe dx.com?

De ce să cumperi de pe dx.com?

logo-dx

DX.com este un site de chinezării (ei le zic gadget-uri, dar n-aș merge atât de departe) care livrează în România. Marele avantaj? Prețul, cu tot cu livrarea prin Poșta Română, e de obicei uluitor, dar uluitor de mic. Imaginează-ți că te plimbi prin complexul Europa (un bazar al Bucureștiului cu lucruri ieftine, de obicei chinezești), dar online, la prețuri mai mici, de obicei decât în Europa, și cu mari facilități de găsi rapid ce cauți. Teoretic, numai avantaje.

Am comandat până acum de 7 ori de pe DX.com și am anulat alte 6 comenzi, iar o comandă e în procesare. Ce am învățat din asta?

The middle path in customer care

Recently, I had an unfortunate event buying from an online store (the price I paid was different than the one displayed on the web site). I sent them an email. This has happened to me before on their web site. After a few days, they replied that I’m wrong, and they’re right. Still, they might be wrong, nevertheless (they admitted). To settle the situation, they gave me around 1/3 than the required amount of money, and they thanked me for my understanding of the situation.

The topic of this blog post: what can you learn from the above example?

Simple / complex decisions

You may want to watch the following video: through this paradigm: The first instincts & thoughts about wolves are negative (they are killers, they are hunted by few animals, themselves, their social structures are closer to Mafia than Old-village-with-nice people, they’re aggressive and dangerous to humans). The movie first starts by telling you some reasons on which the wolves actually do some good (they kill deer, which helps the vegetation, but they also make deer stay away completely from vast areas, in which they can be caught easily). Then the movie gives some implications of saving vegetation → birds appear → then some rodents → then other birds, for those rodents → then some castors → then some bears, eating berries → then more deer get decimated, by the bears. But the movie also shows that vegetation has a deeper impact – due to river banks being influenced by the vegetation, some rivers change their course / stay on their course more, depending on the vegetation just brought up by wolves. Thus, wolves influence the direction of rivers. It’s a big difference between the first impulses & thinking the situation over. First instinct is based on primary emotions, thinking requires more cognitive functions (primary emotions, also). More than this, by deeply analyzing a situation (or studying previous situations), you can get to very powerful insights (wolves change the banks of rivers). In some management decisions, things are based on simple thinking (I apply this rule – „wolves are bad” / „delegation is key” / „do coaching”). The better solution is to try & have …
