Technology ownership Amazon Prime Air robotics Economy

  • Today, the most convenient way to have access to something you want is to own it and keep it where you live. That's because the process of having something delivered is too costly, cumbersome, and slow to do every time you need it.
  • Still, people don't want things soon. They want them NOW. A 30-minute Amazon Prime Air is the closest approximation of “now” we've seen yet.
  • Yet the greatest impact of robotic delivery might not be owning things quicker, but rather not having to own them in the first place. That's because once you can have something approximately now, the functional difference between ownership and rental disappears

  • Maybe we'll 3D print what we currently buy. And there will always be things too big to be conveniently shlepped around. But eventually, I'd bet it won't be humans delivering the pizzas, tools, electronics, clothes, and many other things we buy or borrow today.
  • We might buy less stuff and all objects would spend more of their existence being used rather than in a closet, so we wouldn't have to manufacture as many copies of things
  • Perhaps most exciting of all is what the transition from owning to sharing could mean for our psyches

  • Петербуржец запустил Locolo: Airbnb для аренды вещей
  • Бывший издатель онлайн-журнала Apparat Артем Игнатьев анонсировал запуск сервиса для аренды вещей от пользователя к пользователю. Locolo обещает помочь, если вам понадобятся колонки для вечеринки, дрель на сутки или фрак на свадьбу.
  • Люди перестали хотеть обладать самими вещами, им нужна лишь их временная польза. Именно поэтому развиваются сервисы по шерингу машин, аренде квартир и прочего.

  • В нашей стране люди не до конца понимают, что не обязательно обладать вещами, а можно их брать лишь тогда, когда они тебе нужны, а тем самым можно экономить и даже зарабатывать. Поэтому мы целимся в основном на европейский и американский рынки. Там всем знакома культура sharing economy, и люди знают подобные сервисы.

  • . Autonomous cars will be commonplace by 2025 and have a near monopoly by 2030
  • They will cause unprecedented job loss and a fundamental restructuring of our economy, solve large portions of our environmental problems, prevent tens of thousands of deaths per year, save millions of hours with increased productivity, and create entire new industries that we cannot even imagine from our current vantage point.
  • Morgan Stanley’s research shows that cars are driven just 4% of the time,5 which is an astonishing waste considering that the average cost of car ownership is nearly $9,000 per year.6

  • The car purchasers of the future will not be you and me – cars will be purchased and operated by ride sharing and car sharing companies.
  • , it is unlikely that major automakers like General Motors, Ford, and Toyota will survive the leap.
  • while startup automakers like Tesla will thrive on a smaller number of fleet sales to operators like Uber by offering standardized models with fewer options.
  • 884,000 people are employed in motor vehicles and parts manufacturing, and an additional 3.02 million in the dealer and maintenance network.22 Truck, bus, delivery, and taxi drivers account for nearly 6 million professional driving jobs. Virtually all of these 10 million jobs will be eliminated within 10-15 years

The Public Costs of Private Distribution Strategies: Content Release Windows as Negativ... - 0 views

Theatrical windowing strategy Political policy legal Copyright content production piracy Pirates don't Surrender

shared by Maria Gurova on 08 Jun 16 - No Cached
  • “copyright extremism” – a term he used to describe extended delays in content distribution, which often result in content reaching foreign markets months after it is released in the United States.
  • Essentially, “extremism” is another way of saying that piracy is more a business model problem than a policy problem. 
  • The strategy of windowing has long been practiced because it is believed to maximize revenue opportunities for a given film.  By giving successive distribution channels exclusive rights to the work, a film distributor aims to extract maximum revenues from licensees in each channel.
  • ...7 more annotations...
  • Even if film distributors were to reject the conventional wisdom of windowing, those windows are jealously guarded by their respective sectors.  The theatrical exhibition window is particularly so
  • announced in September 2014 that they would distribute a sequel to the 2000 hit Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon simultaneously via Netflix and IMAX theaters worldwide, movie theater chains swiftly circled the wagons and announced a boycott of the Weinsteins’ film.
  • “value of ownership for the consumer” is a euphemism for “consumer willingness-to-pay.”  The longer a consumer must wait before they can watch a movie on their Netflix subscription, the likelier that consumer is to pay for a DVD
  • numerous industries have attempted to insulate themselves from disruption by persuading lawmakers to prescribe their exclusive industrial role in public laws, including auto dealers and beer distributors
  • windowing has been widely criticized as contributing to piracy, and “leaving money on the table.”  Empirical evidence bears that out.  Content producers are not unaware of this data; their calculus is that the revenues attributable to aggressive windowing (and avoiding friction with their distributors) exceed losses associated with piracy.
  • Windowing alienates consumers and arguably undermines respect for copyright in countries that receive content late
  • In the content distribution example, compensation might involve repayment for government resources expended on attributable piracy, perhaps based on a user-fee model that various government agencies already have.  If the windowed release distribution model generated more revenue than the costs it incurs, it would continue, taxpayers would be made whole, and the externality would be “internalized.”

  • the goal here is to create proof of creation in a public database (namely, the blockchain) without necessarily dealing with the time and cost of officially registering
  • “The blockchain is the perfect solution for providing proof of creation,” Lands said. “It’s a permanent immutable record. Meaning, once the record is there it’s there forever and will never change.”
  • “The ideal future system is one where there is a universal database for claiming ownership of creations and for paying royalties,” Lands added. “Making it as simple as possible for people to do the right thing.”

    Blockchain is the promising technology of the nearest future for intellectual property protection because its use involves minimum time and cost both for individual creators and companies.

  • Across industries, disrupters are reinventing how the business works. Less obvious, and just as important, they are also reinventing what it is to be a company.
  • The rise of big financial institutions (that hold about 70% of the value of America’s stockmarkets) has further weakened the link between the people who nominally own companies and the companies themselves.
  • The number of companies listed on America’s stock exchanges has fallen by half since 1996, partly because of consolidation, but also because talented managers would sooner stay private.
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • Astute investors like Jorge Paulo Lemann, of 3G Capital, specialise in buying public companies and running them like private ones, with lean staffing and a focus on the long term.
  • But the most interesting alternative to public companies is a new breed of high-potential startups
  • The central difference lies in ownership: whereas nobody is sure who owns public companies, startups go to great lengths to define who owns what.
  • New companies also exploit new technology, which enables them to go global without being big themselves.
  • They can incorporate online for a few hundred dollars, raise money from crowdsourcing sites such as Kickstarter, hire programmers from Upwork, rent computer-processing power from Amazon, find manufacturers on Alibaba, arrange payments systems at Square, and immediately set about conquering the world.

    The hot and innovative private startups challenge the existing corporate structures used in the public companies. in order to attract and hold the young talent public companies must adapt new organization structures and people management approaches. can private business change the notion of what is a corporation or are they simply not influential enough?
