Worth keeping an eye on the higher and steeper trend in yields on US government bonds. Per these Bloomberg charts, the recent rise in yields has occurred in the context of steeper 2s-10s and 2s-30s yield curves. It comes at time of moderating growth projections and, if this continues, would tend to complicate policy design and implementing. #economy #markets #investing #recession #economics #volatility #bonds #fed #centralbanks #monetarypolicy #stocks #covid19economy #federalreserve …see more

#WhyIWrite is currently trending on Twitter. I wrote my first short story when I was seven years old. I don't remember much about it, only that it was science-fiction and my teacher let me read it to the class. (I'll always be thankful to her for that. My classmates, probably not.) If you told me 10 years ago I'd end up writing for a living, I would have told you *that idea* sounded like science-fiction. But thanks to the wonderful opportunities afforded me through  LinkedIn 's publishing platform, some great mentors (including you,  Jeff Haden ) and the support of Inc. Magazine , here I am. Thanks to everyone for reading. Jeff Weiner , Daniel Roth , Chip Cutter , Isabelle Roughol , Katie Carroll , Laura Lorenzetti Soper ,   Laura Lorber , Jennifer Eum …see more

When I speak at events, by far the most common question I'm asked is from parents worried about screen time. We then get simplistic studies like this ( see piece ) which seem to fail to understand the complexity. Screen time is a mixture of many different things, not just how we use it but how it changes underlying business models which then hijack our biochemistry. It's complex. - The screen itself and it's proximity and lighting - App design -The infinite scroll & inability to ever finish. - Reward design- How sites hack our attention with "notifications" -Monetization models which rewards only content which is most likely to outrage people. -Social media behaviors- showing off/validation seeking. https://lnkd.in/dzQHwpu …see more

It's going to fascinating in a few years to look back on these times. I wonder how we will feel. I wonder what these years will have represented.

The future of transport is less of a world full of self driving cars and more like a hybrid of eBikes, self driving pods, multi modal transport apps, the hyperloop, mobile ticketing, dynamic pricing, etc. We always fail to predict the future by tainting our vision with assumptions that won't carry forward.
