Astro Teller (born Eric Teller; 29 May 1970) is an entrepreneur, scientist, and author, with expertise in the field of intelligent technology.
Teller was born in Cambridge, England and raised in Evanston, Illinois. He is the son of Paul Teller, who was an instructor in the philosophy of science at the University of Illinois at Chicago and Chantal DeSoto, a buyer and clothing designer for Sears who later became a teacher of gifted children. His grandparents include both French economist and mathematician Gérard Debreu and Hungarian-born American theoretical physicist Edward Teller. He received the nickname "Astro" after high school friends compared his flat-top haircut to AstroTurf, and reportedly had the image of cartoon dog Astro from The Jetsons painted on his car door in college.
Teller holds a Bachelor of Science in computer science from Stanford University, Masters of Science in symbolic computation (symbolic and heuristic computation), also from Stanford University, and a PhD in artificial intelligence from Carnegie Mellon University, where he was a recipient of the prestigious Hertz fellowship. After working as a teacher at Stanford University, he became a business executive.
"Great dreams aren't just visions," says Astro Teller, "They're visions coupled to strategies for making them real." The head of X (formerly Google X), Teller takes us inside the "moonshot factory," as it's called, where his team seeks to solve the world's biggest problems through experimental projects like balloon-powered Internet and wind turbines that sail through the air.

Learn how you can use data and science to make work better at https://g.co/rework “If you can’t afford crazy, you can’t afford brilliant.” Astro Teller, captain of Alphabet's moonshot factory, X, describes how a culture that rewards teams for failure can support world-changing innovation. X is home to the self-driving car and balloon-powered internet, and according to Teller, failure is the way to those moonshot projects. Encouraging teams to take on only the most audacious projects and to fail at them is what leads to profoundly amazing things. If an organization makes failure acceptable, people can stop the bad, and even the good (not great), projects sooner. Saying it and doing it are two different things, which is why creating a culture and environment that encourages taking risks an...
Astro Teller discusses the hardest part of the innovation process—the part where you come into contact with the realities of weather, physics, humanity, and much much more whose impact on your work won’t be predicted by a book or taught in school. These unexpected and unforgiving elements stand between you and the moment when your invention or company has made something in the world fundamentally different and (hopefully!) better. And they are what’s going to teach you and test you and carry you to the right answer (eventually!). You have to experience what it’s like to try something, fail, learn, and try again...relentlessly, dispassionately, creatively. Astro will share never-before-heard stories—and hard-earned lessons—from Project Loon, the self-driving car, and more. Google[x]—the sem...
“What matters is the people… The goal of any leader and any manager is to amplify the people around them.” Astro Teller has dedicated the last 18-20 years of his life to focusing on that and think in those terms. He may miss working directly with cool tech, but he helps team create “magic” by making them the best they can be. He believes that’s the best calling of a manager and CEO. Learn more about his secrets to managing people and dream teams that can come together to solve huge problems.

Solanum hier. Ziemlich oft wünsche ich mir dass Hitchens noch am Leben wäre, damit er sich mal das SJW-Phänomen vornimmt. Interessanterweise hat er aber praktisch alle Dinge die mit den SJW-Arguemten nicht stimmen schon vor mehr als 20 Jahren angesprochen. Hier also Hitchens über: - "Objektifizierung" - Kultivierungstheorie - Verkindlichung der Gesellschaft/Opferkultur - "Sexual Assault Epidemic"/ Affirmative Consent - Anonyme Vergewaltigungsanschuldigungen Dies ist ein mirror eines videos unter dem selben Titel. Die gesamte Diskussion ist hier hochgeladen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Or1_13OZhh0 Enjoy!

Three-time Pulitzer-Prize-winning author and New York Times columnist Thomas L. Friedman discusses his latest book, Thank You For Being Late: An Optimist’s Guide to Thriving in the Age of Accelerations, during a talk held December 9, 2016 at Claremont Graduate University’s Albrecht Auditorium. The event was co-hosted by CGU and Live Talks L.A., and is the inaugural event in a new speaker series. In his talk, Friedman discusses three technological changes in access to digital information— mobility, broadband, and the cloud—the consequences of a new world digital order, and the potential solutions and recommendations for coping and adapting to this “age of accelerations.”

Learn how you can use data and science to make work better at https://g.co/rework “What if we could do more by sharing more?” This question guides re:Work and g.co/rework. Laszlo Bock, Google’s head of People Operations, hopes that by sharing the science and methods of HR from all over we can make work better everywhere. Speaking at the re:Work 2016 event, Bock explains how cutting-edge research and decades-old studies offer valuable insights to help leaders and employees make work better. The lag between academic research and practical application needs to be minimized because the nature of work is changing rapidly, and unrealized workplace improvements are waiting in scientific journals. This video was recorded at the re:Work 2016 event.

Yesterdays
Leo Reisman
Yesterdays,Yesterdays,
Days I knew as happy,
Swweet sequestered days.
Olden days, golden days,
Days of mad romance and love.
Then gay youth was mine, truth was mine,
Joyous free and flaming life,
For-sooth, was mine.
Sad am I, glad am I
For today I'm dreaming of Yesterdays.
