Human creativity is related to process and the experience of creating from nothing.

The process is more important than the end result.

yup! Leadership, Leadership position and leadership authority are distinct!

See scholars and practioners who have contributed to building a scientific foundation for leadership:

when there is an equally good x in open source, why would anyone use closed sourced alternative?

Is it not a valid question?

If it is the marketing, service of support then let me know.

Before we can measure leadership. Maybe we ought to first figure out what we mean by leadership.

Often there has being a mix up between leadership, management, and a bunch of other stuff that has nothing to do with leadership.

If people are interested in how and leadership is effectively exercised and what it is. Take a look at this paper: https://ssrn.com/abstract=1392406

The knee-jerk reaction you are talking about is what is consider by some scholars as an Ontological Functional Constraints [1].

The constraint is considered deadly for the effective exercise of leadership. The constrains can however be removed or at least relaxed in a reliable way. :)

Hmm, do we distinguish leadership from management?

I'm curious why would people use a closed source software, when you can use something like https://riot.im

Please let me know. I may be missing something.

It is a human illness wanting to explain something to just stratify our rational thinking. In reality whenever there is a paradigm shift, the previous explanation becomes obsolete. So stop trying to explain things and go out an do it and experience for yourself.

US president has remarkably little power to make any change to the existing system. The real change has to be done on the local grass root level.

What about this nodejs async,

May be a replacement until the async is implemented in V8

Why not mithril? https://lhorie.github.io/mithril/

Seems to be way faster, and easier to learn than any of those other framework/libs.

For example: How is Mithril Different from Other React: Source: https://lhorie.github.io/mithril/comparison.html

"The most visible difference between React and Mithril is that React's JSX syntax does not run natively in the browser, whereas Mithril's uncompiled templates do. Both can be compiled, but React's compiled code still has function calls for each virtual DOM element; Mithril templates compile into static Javascript data structures.

Another difference is that Mithril, being an MVC framework, rather than a templating engine, provides an auto-redrawing system that is aware of network asynchrony and that can render views efficiently without cluttering application code with redraw calls, and without letting the developer unintentionally bleed out of the MVC pattern.

Note also that, despite having a bigger scope, Mithril has a smaller file size than React."

Does Mondo allow the user to keep track how their money is being invested? With current technology that shouldn't be an issue.

Nice. Does anyone know if there is something equivalent to this much like the SSRN (Social Science Research Network) http://www.ssrn.com/en/index.cfm/mjensen-20th/

Where you can perform full text search on all the papers?

Yes, but I would imagine that cost is not too much. Why not make it into something like a public resource. Often that approach will generate more wealth for the greater community.

Often the for-profit model and fiduciary responsibility can be constraining in wealth creation in general.

Why does it have to make money? If service such as twitter that can benefit the world in some way without making any money, why force it into a 'business model'?

@wolframhempel or whoever is making this. Thanks for the making it. However, your webrtc demo doesn't work: both of the links are broken on github: https://deepstream.io/tutorials/webrtc.html

Can we see some live working demo.

Also the example on that page is also not working because adaptor.js is not found, but it says that your browser is not webrtc compatible.
