TTL7: Asymmetrical Bets Sorry, “small bets” are not enough to build large-scale software

TTL 7 Asymmetrical Bets 👋 Good Morfternight, this is Paolo Belcastro, with the seventh issue of TTL: Tools & Thoughts for Leaders. This is an odd one I’m writing this from a windowless room in an airport hotel in São Paulo 🇧🇷 My first plane was delayed, and the second one was not, and that’s why I’m stuck here. Just another reminder that we live in a stochastic world, where everything is…

Απίστευτο: Χωριό της Ιταλίας απαγορεύει στους κατοίκους να αρρωσταίνουν

Στο χωριό υπάρχει μόνο ένα εφημερεύον ιατρείο που λειτουργεί σποραδικά και δεν προσφέρει καμία κάλυψη κατά τη διάρκεια των Σαββατοκύριακων, των αργιών ή εκτός ωραρίου Ένα μικρό ιταλικό χωριό απαγόρευσε στους κατοίκους του να αρρωσταίνουν σοβαρά. Όπως μετέδωσε το BBC, οι κάτοικοι του Μπελκάστρο (Belcastro) «διατάσσονται … να αποφεύγουν να προσβληθούν από οποιαδήποτε ασθένεια που μπορεί να απαιτεί…

Around half of Belcastro’s 1,200 residents are over the age of 65 and the nearest Accident & Emergency (A&E) department is over 45km (28 miles) away, the mayor said. He added that the A&E was only reachable by a road with a 30kmh (18mph) speed limit. The village’s on-call doctor surgery is also only open sporadically and offers no cover during weekends, holidays or after hours. Torchia told…

Comune di Belcastro/FacebookBelcastro, in southern Italy, is home to around 1,200 peopleA small Italian village has banned its residents from becoming seriously ill. People living in Belcastro "are ... ordered to avoid contracting any illness that may require emergency medical assistance," a decree from local Mayor Antonio Torchia states.Belcastro sits in the southern region of Calabria - one of Italy's poorest.Torchia said the move was "obviously a humorous provocation", but that it was having more of an effect than the urgent notices he had sent to regional authorities to highlight the shortcomings of the local healthcare system. Around half of Belcastro's 1,200 residents are over the age of 65 and the nearest Accident & Emergency (A&E) department is over 45km (28 miles) away, the mayor said.He added that the A&E was only reachable by a road with a 30kmh (18mph) speed limit.The village's on-call doctor surgery is also only open sporadically and offers no cover during weekends, holidays or after hours. Torchia told Italian TV that it was hard to "feel safe when you know that if you need assistance, your only hope is to make it to [A&E] on time" - and that the roads were almost "more of a risk than any illness".As part of the decree, residents have also been ordered "not to engage in behaviours that may be harmful and to avoid domestic accidents", and "not to leave the house too often, travel or practise sports, and to [instead] rest for the majority of the time".It is unclear how these new rules will be enforced, if at all. The sparsely populated region of Calabria - the tip of Italy's boot - is one of the country's poorest. Political mismanagement and mafia interference have decimated its healthcare system, which was put under special administration from the central government almost 15 years ago. Rome-appointed commissioners have had difficulties tackling the vast levels of debt faced by hospitals, meaning Calabrians remain crippled by a serious lack of medical personnel and beds, as well as interminable waiting lists. Eighteen of the region's hospitals have closed since 2009. As a result, almost half of Calabria's near two million residents seek medical assistance outside the region. In 2022, it was announced that Cuba would send 497 doctors to the Italian region over three years to work in various medical facilities. Regional governor Roberto Occhiuto said last year that these doctors had "saved" Calabria's hospitals.Belcastro residents told local media that Mayor Torchia had "done the right thing in shining a light on the issue", and that the decision would "shake consciences". "He has used a provocative decree to attract attention on a serious problem," one man said.
