  Trump is globally hated but not feared, the opposite of where Machiavelli said a prince should be.

  Their words

  In Machiavellian terms, Trump is no longer feared, and he's definitely no longer liked. Instead, he is hated - which is the one thing Machiavelli stressed should be avoided at all costs.

  The papacy made Italy uniquely unstable in Europe, because each new pope inherited a precedent that he could overthrow any government he liked.

  Europegovernment

  Their words

  And soon we have a precedent that every new pope feels he has the authority to knock down every pawn upon the chessboard if he feels like it. Once that is the norm, even a fairly nice pope still inherits the idea that the pope is going to overthrow and replace governments. And this creates a unique instability within Italy that no other part of Europe is subject to

  Rust's defining experience is that once the code compiles it works — not literally true, but true often enough that people keep saying it.

  Their words

  I think part of what I liked about Rust is this feeling that as you write the code when it compiles it works. I mean this has to be in quotes right because obviously it's possible that there are bugs but this is something a lot of people say about Rust and there's a reason people say it even though it's not necessarily literally true.

  Different: Escaping the Competitive Herd

  Their words

  In today's world of massive consumer choice, it's easy to end up locked in competitive battles where no one stands out. Harvard professor Youngme Moon makes a great series of cases for how you can still stand out. What I particularly liked about this book was it's not like your average marketing book; instead it's like an extended conversation with Moon exploring key concepts on differentiation without the heavy-handedness of specific rules.
