[Snin]

ipo chasing, funding round loving , tech sucking f**king speccy cnuts..saying you work for or in disruptive company ..disrupt the market tc etc is not cool ..though it does make it easier to know you are a cnut saving having to talk to you further

I never really liked the term anyway, all innovation is disruptive. It's meaningless and banal.

[Berni]

This is because they are almost invariably used by people with nothing to say.

What's really annoying me is the "Like Uber for...." disease.

f**k Uber, f**k the people that use uber, f**k them all. It's not a model I'm prepared to patronise, let alone slavishly ape with none of the *massive* financial, technical and lobbying backing.

like adultwork ... if they get it then you have them in a double win imo as if they dont get it then they dont know what you talking about :-)

"Why can't a local supermarket — seemingly threatened by online grocery delivery services — make its parking lot available to the local farmers market on Sundays? It could even charge for space, and then sell unsold produce on its shelves the following week. It's not surrendering to the competition so much as compensating for its own extractive nature. Yes, a dotcom national food delivery service will win in a war of one extractive enterprise against the other. It has a much bigger war chest. But if the supermarket leverages its connection to the people and neighbourhood in which it operates, it turns itself from just another extractive corporation into part of the fabric of the circulating local economy.

Even local banks — almost an iconic representation of extractive capital — can compete against the peer-to-peer lending platforms by integrating themselves into their communities. They can augment traditional lending with local crowdfunding, using their technology and financial expertise to help communities invest in their own businesses and downtown. Yes, such banks would lose their monopoly on lending, but they would become the locally trusted enabler of investment and inspire the sort of loyalty that could resist the well-funded digital competition of the startups."

Good luck with that project imo :hehe:
