I highly recommend looking at Benedict Evansâ slides from a talk he just gave at Davos called âStanding on the Shoulders of Giants.â Itâs a look at how the future of the 'Net looks to a seriously sharp guy. (VC with a newsletter that has 130K subscribers) Much info and concepts here. And a nice presentation; easy to go through. He looks at eCommerce, what the next big thing might be, the role of regulation, anti-trust, content moderation in social media, national sovereignty and âextraterritoriality,â what âcommunity standardsâ means anymore, and regulation as the ânext big thing.â Ultimately he conveys a sense that these contain complex problems that wonât be solved by simple answers.
Wow! I love it! How close is the nearest city?
200 km north of San Francisco 3 from the coast.

Wanted to share my update too. Iâm currently in my hometown Split working on a project, an experiment called âVoids2020â. We opened a few closed spaces during winter in the historical center and gave them to artists and the community to use them temporarilyâŚmy current office is in a souvenir shop, right in front of the (closed) Game of Thrones museum. It feels super strange and very fun at the same time!

wait but why?
Itâs Kings Landing!
where they filmed it or?
Yes, they filmed shortly there and now itâs crazy, âmuseumsâ and gift shops all over the place. But I guess not even the GOT fans come in winter.
Pleased that my Alma Mater has dropped its partnership with Mckinsey on ethical and humanitarian grounds. McKinsey ifrĂĽgasatts av KTH-studenter â fĂśrnyar inte samarbetet | SvD

Hereâs my update too. Iâm currently traveling through Belem, in the northern region of Brazil (beyond the wall, where it is actually winter =P), visiting beautiful places and meeting amazing people!
That is me in a fresh water beach in the Cotijuba island
During my âtrip breaksâ Iâve been exploring some interesting online tools that are supposed to help us organize our web browsing/researching. I imagine some of the people connected here might enjoy them:
- Memex by WorldBrain: interesting company values and functioning product.
- Veeo: Very cool concept. Currently being built (video demo avail). And amazing founders. I had a chat with them last week and they were super welcoming!
Hope you like it

Well, not exactly. Itâs only the engineering physics chapter of the student union that has decided not to renew a small 2000 EUR per year advertising deal with McKinsey on humanitarian grounds, but itâs a good move from their side non the less. This is really only newsworthy because the KTH student union and its chapters are known from being quite apolitical, so this is a refreshing departure.
