Bună,
Cum îi cunosc pe cei de la incubator107?
On 2011.10.29, I visited Știrbei Palace (Buftea – Ilfov county); the palace is 20 kilometers away from Bucharest, it was built in 1864 and has ~2,400 sqm. Details, in Romanian: Palatul Știrbei – Wikipedia; Domeniul Stirbey – Palatul astazi; Photos I took (full-screen) & some photos by Ștefan UDREA: P.S.: Also see: 2011.10.29 Mogoșoaia Palace (Ilfov county) – Get a result now!
My favorite movie is Le Notti di Cabiria; I’ve recommended it to others; some have seen the movie as pessimistic, depressing and sad; I see it as a great hope for life / humanity / purpose of life. The Stockdale Paradox is, in my opinion, on the same side with me. Explained, by Jim COLLINS, the paradox goes like this (details): You must retain faith that you will prevail in the end, regardless of the difficulties. AND at the same time… You must confront the most brutal facts of your current reality, whatever they might be. This is, in my opinion, the essence of pretty much everything; a hear-tearing paradox leading to hope. PS, 2018.08.03: I’ve first heard this quote at a training with Cătălin Zaharia.
Quote by Penelope TRUNK: We spend our lives finding differences between people to choose teachers, band mates and spouses, so our perception of peoples’ differences is exaggerated… And then Gilbert gets to grapes: “If you spend seven years studying the differences between grapes, no two will look the same to you, but really a grape is a grape.” I like it a lot; by putting things into perspective, “a human is a human”; we’re all, pretty much, the same; OK, there are differences, but, in some perspective, not that big.
This evening I’ve seen “Rencontres” / “Intalniri” / “Meetings” (Passe Partout DP) play (Passe Partout DP).
The play was written and directed by Dragoș HULUBA and Violeta TOTIR and the stars were the same Dragoș HULUBA and Violeta TOTIR.
Bellow my feed-back.
HotNews.ro, a major news portal in Romania, has one box that always gets my attention: a section with th “most read” / “most commented” / “recommended” news on the web site for the previous 24 hours (or so).
Eu cred că problema se pune referitor la cum definești “carte” și cum definești “ecran”; în prezent, e clar că o carte arată într-un anume fel, și un ecran arată diferit, poți face distincția; Ei bine, estimarea mea e că ecranele viitorilor (nu mulți) ani vor face dificilă distincția între “carte” și “ecran” – vom avea e-book reader-e care vor arăta la fel ca pagina unei cărți (deja nu suntem foarte departe); Altfel, depinde ce înțelegi prin “carte”; un Tweet are 140 de caractere, un articol câteva zeci/sute de cuvinte, o carte zeci/sute de pagini; e imposibil să dispară o carte, dacă o definești ca o colecție de texte; textele vor rămâne, fie ca simple colecții de texte de zeci/sute de pagini; Procesul lecturii e unic – muzica te face să imaginezi ritmuri, filmul îți transmite imagini în mișcare, lectura te face să imaginezi; așadar, mă văd în dificultatea de a înțelege cum va dispărea ceva ce nu poți obține în alt fel decât imaginând; În fine, discurile de vinil nu au dispărut decât ca format ineficient; muzica se ascultă și astăzi, dar prin alte mijloace.
One argument against outsourcing to China is that they provide poor quality labor; but is it a powerful argument? I liked this comment a lot: EN (translated by me): “When the salary difference will be high, this won’t matter. You can’t explain otherwise why so many multinational companies have transferred hundreds of thousands of jobs to India. The reality is that it’s first about the prices, the rest are details which can be surpassed”. RO (original): “Dar in momentul in care diferenta dintre salarii va fi din ce in ce mai mare, acest lucru nu va mai conta. Altfel nu s-ar explica de ce atatea multinationale au transferat sute de mii de posturi in India. Realitatea e ca in primul rand e vorba de costuri, restul sunt detalii care pot fi atenuate.” So, yes, there might be problems with the quality, and Romania may have an edge in here; but for a high price difference, this won’t matter anymore. Simple, isn’t it?
