The Nobel prize in economics was awarded jointly to Simon Johnson, James Robinson and Daron Acemoglu for their research on global inequality. The trio’s work has shed light on the link between colonisation and prosperity, and the importance of strong democratic institutions for countries’ success. The Nobel committee lauded the researchers for their innovative approach to studying “one of our time’s greatest challenges”. [The Economist]

What’s up, everybody! It’s Monday, October 14th, 2024. While it’s Columbus Day, it’s Indigenous Day instead. Please do not confuse the name with the wonderful great city of Columbus, Ohio, home of the people who are Students at The Ohio State University, quite possibly one of the greatest places on Earth. There’s a lot of commotion, lots of things to worry about. Quite frankly, I am excited, this past afternoon, I had a conference call with 12 people in the (Technology) Industry thanks to BWG Strategy LLC. I was able to discuss how important AMD was, is, and will be in the future. It was great to be on this call for over an hour, and discuss my thoughts for about a ten-twenty minutes period. I’ve told y’all, ZACK TECHNOLOGY LLC is important, I know people are waiting for the reports, the analysis, the blogs. I know what can happen when I wait. I’ve told y’all, you’ve noticed what can happen when I take a week break, 2 weeks break, 3 weeks break, or a month break. The work is vital, therefore, gather around, and find me someone who is will to pay for invoices. I don’t require millions of dollars, while in the future, that’d be great, I just need enough to cover monthly expenses, and finally buy myself my very first brand-new vehicle, a German-Engineering vehicle or JDM car.
While I await my new iPhone 16 (I’m sorry, Tim Cook, I cannot afford one yet), I have a new Android phone, it’s a Nothing (Technology) Phone 2, with special Nothing OS 2 (OS 3 on its way) thanks to Android 14 technology. It’s a San Francisco local phone number, and I will add the number to my resume/CV from now on. I’m eager to work in the SF Bay Area, whether remote or on-site. I’m eager to get a co-op spot, or a cubicle, or an office. Like I said, I’m literally just 2-3 hours away from you guys. Once I have a great new mode of transportation and a gas card, and a credit card, I just need y’all to cover hotel and food costs, and we can have lots of great fun and adventures. You’re ready? I am ready, let’s make it happen.
PS. The video below was recorded a week ago. Before the Comet which comes only once every 82,000 years. I missed it because I got into an argument with my wife. Anyway, let’s play some FF7 Rebirth and Mass Effect Legendary Edition & Mass Effect: Andromeda into-the-future…
Until Next Time!
