Interview With Gordon Moore
from the laying-down-the-law dept
I generally don't post links to interviews. They're rarely more than extended sales pitches for whatever the interviewee is selling. However, occasionally a good interview comes along, and that's the case with Technology Review's interview with Gordon Moore who admits that despite his "Moore's Law" which the technology industry lives by, he's not very good at predicting the future. He also explains why he put money into SETI. Finally, he talks about how to build a strong company even if you're not great at predicting the future. The answer is pretty simple: hire great people.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
