Washington did not see anything like breaking the rules, Power deliveryGovernment power, the protocol of the protocol of happy chaos and steam chaos that are Elon Musk.
Margaret Umara He has.
The University of Washington historian has planned the great influence and influence everything in the technology industry and its players in its excellent work that can be read very 2019, “The Code: Silicon Valley and the Remake of America”.
Musk, who grew up at the age of 30 through his starting work, is a relatively small character in the book, for reasons of narration and focus. Instead, O’Mara focused its history on the founders and background stories of the main platform companies: Amazon, Apple, Facebook, Google and Microsoft.
But there is a global position, a global view and a basic set of principles that direct the technology industry and offspring, such as secular education. O’Mara believes that these beliefs as a great evidence in the Ministry of Government efficiency called Musk, or Doge, and its efforts to overcome severe areas of the federal government in one unrestricted blow.
Several elements are present and calculated.
“Technical optimism”, as Umara described it, with her unable to be shaken that technology is good in nature and will improve things – “even if there is some side damage along the way.” The drive to move quickly and expand a fast range, if it is reckless. The importance of personal relationships, such as BROM transactions between President Trump and Moses, who spent more than a quarter of a billion dollars to return his ally in the Oval Office.
Umara said, “Urging people to sit and notice-” and because it is the masters of “the economy of modern attention”-this is their interest, from a commercial and political point of view now. “
Umarra worked in government and politics before teaching and implementing her firm index of American history. (Other books include one that looks at four presidential races formed the twentieth century.)
He grew up in Little Rock, moved a prince from the college to volunteer to the ruler of the Arkasas Ruler Bill Clinton, the 1992 president.
Although O’Mara worked for a period of time on the employees of Vice President Al Gore, an early technical adapter and one of the most powerful Silicon Valley allies, it did not work on technical policy. “I was in the room adjacent to the room where that was happening,” she said jokingly about a takbeer call from its home office on Mercer island, Washington. Her dog, the enthusiastic Labrodel called Zuka, has a brief comment outside the camera.
Omara’s graduate work was led by the University of Pennsylvania to the Silicon Valley, where its thesis explored the local economic impacts of the cold war. She said: “Once you start looking at this question, you take you to a full set of things, including the electronics, accurate electronics and transistors.
Seattle, Washington-at the University of Washington, Margaret Umara Scott is the President of the American University of History in Washington (alongside Dorothy Polit) (Margaret Umara)
(Margaret Umara of Washington University wrote a very readable history from Silicon Valley and its ascension)
O’Mara’s book explains how The federal government built the Silicon ValleyThe fact that many entrepreneurs and legends-which are tightened in a reflection of their self-implementation-choose to ignore or not understand. “This is actually part of the secret,” Umara said. “The indirect nature of spending, the fact that it flows through universities and private companies in a way that is a kind of hidden and hidden.”
Of course, there was an abundance of great minds in the fertile Santa Clara Valley in California, innovators and visions with supernatural ability to peer around the corners and deep in the future. All that could have been a brain strength, except for the benefit of Uncle Sam. As a customer. Research support. A producer of human capital, by financing generous education. As an angel investor.
“We are thinking about decreasing taxes and canceling regulatory restrictions as an absence of the government,” Umara said. “But in reality these government decisions that were made favorable – are very deliberate – [to] This industry. “
We call it ignorance or arrogance, there is an idea that is deeply guaranteed in the Silicon Valley and many of its inhabitants that because the government does not move it, “it is, by definition, broad, ineffective, wasted and corrupt,” said Umarra. They believe that people working in the government “are not very smart.
This mentality makes a long way to explain the ax approach from the meat that Musk applied, with Trump’s encouragement, to the entire agencies and federal programs. Undoubtedly, there is a waste, fraud and ill -treatment that can be carved carefully. The government, after all, is a human endeavor.
But the size of Dog’s destruction, bloodshed, and the unconventional release of federal employees, not collectively, as they say in the development of software. It is an advantage.
“Elon type took what he did on Twitter” – The initial step was to launch 80 % of the workforce – “”Umarra said: “The attempt to implement it to the federal government.” The jury is still outside whether this is actually an effective way to manage Twitter. “
There is a cup, preferred by the political means, that the government should work more like action. But this is cheap bustle. Business and government have different circles circles and different functions. The government cannot choose and choose those that serve it, or delete parts of the country based on cost and interest analysis. If this happens, to use it but for example, there goes Delivery of rural mail.
“Can you make things more efficient?
The desire for high services at a low cost – another method, free lunch – is Contradiction The Americans have been struggling since the founding of the country, long before the presence of a competing democratic and republic.
Now, Elon Musk is supposed to be the solution?
The sky helps us all.
