When hiring executives, travis kalanick prioritizes one skill above all others: the ability to solve hard problems. "There's two things you want an executive to do. You want them to be able to organize, manage, and lead at scale. You also want them to be epic and strategic problem solvers... the best executives are the ones that are doing both well." "I have come to the conclusion over my years, that problem solving is the most important thing. If you get somebody who organizes and manages well but cannot solve a problem, they're going to be doing ridiculous stuff in a super organized way. The only constraint on your imagination is management capacity. But what is management capacity? It's really problem solving at scale."

Asked #Browns Shedeur Sanders how his teammates' support has prepared him for his first start: "A lot, but at the same time, they have their own jobs they have to do..so I have to take that upon myself..I have the responsibility to bring this team a win on our side of the ball."

Keith Rabois on the “one person, one problem" framework he learned from Peter Thiel “You need to spend a lot of time focusing people. This is something I learned from Peter Thiel. He used to insist at PayPal that every single person could only do exactly one thing. And we all rebelled. You feel like it’s insulting to be asked to do just one thing, but Peter would enforce this pretty strictly.” Thiel would say: “I will not talk to you about anything else except for this one thing that I’ve assigned to you. I don’t want to hear about how great your doing in this other area. Just focus until you conquer this one problem.” Keith explains: “The insight behind this is that most people will solve problems that they understand how to solve. Roughly speaking, they will solve B+ problems instead of A+ problems. A+ problems are high-impact problems for your company but they’re difficult—you don’t wake up in the morning with a solution to them, so you tend to procrastinate… If you have a company that’s always solving B+ problems, you’ll grow and add value, but you’ll never create the breakthrough idea because no one is spending 100% of their time banging their head against the wall every day until they solve it.” Video source: Y Combinator (2014)

If there’s a narrow window to take out the Ayatollah, his leadership, and their counter-strike capabilities within hours, you take it. And right now, every dictator in the world should be asking the same question: could the United States do that to me?

Shirky Principle: “Institutions will try to preserve the problem to which they are the solution.” And that’s because solving the problem would eliminate their reason to exist. That means their staff, budgets, positions, power, all gone. So what’s the incentive? In the case of education, for example, real per student spending has TRIPLED since 1979 while test scores stayed FLAT. They report the same shortcomings every year and demand even more funds to “solve” them. And so we end up wasting more money on not solving anything or even making problems worse.

Marc Andreessen on Elon Musk: “Why don't more CEOs operate the way that he does? The top-line thing is just this incredible devotion from the leader of the company to deeply understand what the company does, and to be completely knowledgeable about every aspect of it. To be in the trenches and talking directly to the people who do the work, deeply understanding the issues, and being the key, lead problem solver in the organization. What Elon does is he shows up every week at each of his companies, he identifies the biggest problem that the company's having that week, and he fixes it. He does that every week for 52 weeks in a row. And then each of his companies has solved the 52 biggest problems that year, in that year. He attracts many of the best people in the world to work with him."

Tony Robbins has the best take on why men and women process emotions so differently: "Men don't share their feelings, because their job is to solve a problem. In a man's world, the more you solve problems, the more you move up the hierarchy of being a man. In a woman's world, you share your problems so you can connect and feel for the person."

If you listen to them, they have only one problem today; the only problem they have as far as they are concerned is 2027 election, and that's why, when you listen to them, that's what they talk about as if they are in opposition, as if their mandate has ended, as if they don't have a duty to solve the problems that the country is confronted with. - Bolaji Abdullahi, ADC spokesperson, speaking about the ruling APC #PoliticsToday

.travis kalanick explains his approach to management: "the fewest number of rules while staying out of chaos." "I basically have figured out management and leadership structures. The real thing is about empowerment. You must be able to empower teams." "Once you figure out the management piece, your imagination can go pretty damn far."

Naval Ravikant on the importance of hiring high-agency people Naval defines agency as: “People who just solve problems without even being asked to solve the problem—they identify the problem, they go solve it, they don’t even necessarily have to update you every step of the way, they’re not asking silly questions, and they’re just coming up with solutions.” He believes this is important because “building a startup is an infinite set of problems that are being thrown at you.” And there comes a day where you can’t even look at every problem your company is facing—let alone solve every one of them. He cites the Vinod Khosla aphorism: "The team you build is the company you build, not the plan you make.” And your ability to solve problems is based entirely on how many problem-solvers you have at your company. As Naval puts it: “If you have somebody who takes 10% of your time and management to solve problems, you can only have 10 of those people working with you. But if somebody takes 5%, you can have 20 of those people.” When building Airchat and AngelList, he thought of each team as a Navy Seal team: “Everyone is just really good at what they do. They know their job. They do it. They don’t complain. They’re not egotistical about it. And if they have to constantly be corrected, led around by the nose, you have to clean up after them, or you question their judgement, it’s not going to work out.”

There are now 7 videos of Hasan electrocuting his dog leaked in the past 24 hours Same movement Same emotion Same reaction Every. Single. Clip. More will surface soon as well. This man is using his dog as a prop for 6-8 hours a day. Just to seem more human, to seem more relatable he is willing to severely reduce the dogs quality of life. Everything he does is for optics. He goes live, looks his audience in the eye and lies because he knows they’re too stupid to call him out. He gets his pussy ass content creators and even his girlfriend to cover his ass at every turn. Even Twitch itself runs defense for this piece of shit. This is their hero.

WATCH | An American couple who have travelled to more than 50 countries around the world, including several in Africa, planned to drive through Zimbabwe in their camper van on their way to East Africa. However, they cancelled their trip after spending only 24 hours in the country. They said several problems in Zimbabwe influenced their decision, and one of the biggest issues was the terrible detours between Beitbridge and Masvingo. In one of their clips, the wife complained that they paid US$8 in toll fees only to be “tortured” by bad roads. Here are some of their first impressions of Zimbabwe.

This man here criticized Peter Obi for the very same thing that he has once preached on his own pulpit just last year. The same thing he attacked Peter Obi for. Why do many nigerian pastors simply have no honour and no consistency in what they stand for?

As I watched this video, my heart was filled with both joy and ❤️‍🩹 at the same time. Look at this little boy. He is standing at the train station, not yet knowing that he is about to hear the words he has been waiting for-that he is going home, to Ukraine. Then look at his eyes the moment he finds out. So much happiness in a single glance. And at the same time, so much pain. Because of Russіа, thousands of Ukrainian children have lost their homes. Thousands have been forced to leave Ukraine. And no matter what anyone says, it is hard. Especially for children. They miss their homes, their bedrooms, their friends, and the places they love. They simply want to go home. Watching the joy in this little boy’s eyes brought me to tears. I’m sitting here crying. Because every child deserves to grow up at home, not to dream of returning one day, but to simply live in their own country, in peace. 🎥 v.hryts

Elon Musk on time management: "I try to divide companies into one day, so today is a Tesla day for example. This is going to sound pretty strange, but I only have one part time assistant; I do most of the scheduling myself because it's impossible for someone else to know what the priorities are."

Jannik Sinner says he will do everything possible to improve his ability to play in the heat, ‘Every player has their own small problems… Maybe this is mine’ “As someone who’s also a red head with pale skin who struggles in the heat, I’m wondering if you think it’s something that’s always gonna be tough for you on some level genetically?” Jannik: “We don’t know… as I said before the tournament, physically I feel good.. Mentally also… And the only thing at times you can do is fight. Let’s see. For sure it’s an area where I’d love to improve. There’s a reason why I go to the gym every day. Trying to get better, but at the same time, every player has their own small problems. Maybe this is mine. You don’t know. For sure there is room to improve.. which I’m quite sure we will do everything possible to improve in a positive way, then we see how it goes.” (via Australian Open Press)
