#Integrated Sinks Market Growth

[mostlysignssomeportents]

Orphaned neurological implants

The startup world’s dirty not-so-secret is that most startups fail. Startups are risky ventures and their investors know it, so they cast a wide net, placing lots of bets on lots of startups and folding the ones that don’t show promise, which sucks for the company employees, but also for the users who depend on the company’s products.

You know what this is like: you sink a bunch of time into familiarizing yourself with a new product, you spend money on accessories for it, you lock your data into it, you integrate it into your life, and then, one morning — poof! All gone.

Now, there are ways that startups could mitigate this risk for their customers: they could publish their source code under a free/open license so that it could be maintained by third parties, they could refuse to patent their technology, or dedicate their patents to an open patent pool, etc.

All of this might tempt more people to try their product or service, because the customers for digital products are increasingly savvy, having learned hard lessons when the tools they previously depended were orphaned by startups whose investors pulled the plug.

But very few startups do this, because their investors won’t let them. That brings me to the other dirty not-so-secret of the startup world: when a startup fails, investors try to make back some of their losses by selling the company’s assets to any buyer, no matter how sleazy.

A startup’s physical assets are typically minimal: used ergonomic chairs and laptops don’t exactly hold their value, and there’s not much of a market for t-shirts and stickers advertising dead businesses.

Wily investors are more interested in intangible assets: user data and patents, which are sold off to the highest bidder. That bidder is almost certainly a bottom-feeding scumbag, because the best way to maximize the value of user data is to abuse it, and the best way to maximize a failed business patent is to use it for patent trolling.

If you let your investors talk you into patenting your cool idea, there’s a minuscule chance that the patent will be the core of a profitable business — and a much larger chance that it end up in a troll’s portfolio. Real businesses make things that people want. Patent trolls are parasites, “businesses” whose only products are legal threats and lawsuits, which they use to bleed out real businesses.

The looming threat of dissolution gives rise to a third startup dirty secret: faced with a choice of growth or sustainability, companies choose growth. There’s no point in investing in sustainability — good information security, robust systems, good HR — if it costs you the runway you need to achieve liftoff.

Your excellent processes won’t help you when your investors shut you down, so a “lean” startup has only the minimum viable resiliency and robustness. If you do manage to attain liftoff — or get sold to a Big Tech firm — then you can fix all that stuff.

And if the far more likely outcome — failure — comes to pass, then all the liabilities you’ve created with your indifferent security and resiliency will be someone else’s problem. Limited liability, baby!

Combine these three dirty secrets and it’s hard to understand why anyone would use a startup’s product, knowing that it will collect as much data as it can, secure it only indifferently, and sell that data on to sleazy data-brokers. Meanwhile, the product you buy and rely upon will probably become a radioactive wasteland of closed source and patent trolling, with so much technology and policy debt that no one can afford to take responsibility for it.

Think of Cloudpets, a viral toy sensation whose manufacturer, Spiral Toys, had a successful IPO — and then immediately started hemorrhaging money and shedding employees. Cloudpets were plush toys that you connected to your home wifi; they had built-in mics that kids could activate to record a voice-memo, which was transmitted to their parents’ phones by means of an app, and parents could send messages back via the toys’ speakers.

But Spiral Toys never bothered to secure those voice memos or the system for making new ones. The entire database of all recordings by kids and parents sat on an unencrypted, publicly accessible server for years. It was so indifferently monitored that no one noticed that hackers had downloaded the database multiple times, leaving behind threats to dump it unless they were paid ransoms.

By the time this came to light, Spiral Toys’ share price was down more than 99% and no one was answering any of its email addresses or phones. The data — 2.2 million intimate, personal communications between small children and their parents — just hung out there, free for the taking:

https://www.troyhunt.com/data-from-connected-cloudpets-teddy-bears-leaked-and-ransomed-exposing-kids-voice-messages/

Data leakage is irreversible. Those 2,200,000 voice memos are now immortal, child-ghosts that will haunt the internet forever — after the parents are dead, after the kids are dead.

Data breaches are permanent. Filling a startup’s sandcastle with your important data is a high-risk bet that the company will attain liftoff before it breaches.

It’s not just your data that goes away when a startup folds — it’s also the money you invest in its hardware and systems, as well as the cost of replacing devices that get bricked when a company goes bust. That’s bad enough when it’s a home security device:

https://gizmodo.com/spectrum-kills-home-security-business-refuses-refunds-1840931761

But what about when the device is inside your body?

Earlier this year, many people with Argus optical implants — which allow blind people to see — lost their vision when the manufacturer, Second Sight, went bust:

https://spectrum.ieee.org/bionic-eye-obsolete

Nano Precision Medical, the company’s new owners, aren’t interested in maintaining the implants, so that’s the end of the road for everyone with one of Argus’s “bionic” eyes. The $150,000 per eye that those people paid is gone, and they have failing hardware permanently wired into their nervous systems.

Having a bricked eye implant doesn’t just rob you of your sight — many Argus users experience crippling vertigo and other side effects of nonfunctional implants. The company has promised to “do our best to provide virtual support” to people whose Argus implants fail — but no more parts and no more patches.

Second Sight wasn’t the first neural implant vendor to abandon its customers, nor was it the last. Last week, Liam Drew told the stories of other neural abandonware in “Abandoned: the human cost of neurotechnology failure” in Nature:

https://www.nature.com/immersive/d41586-022-03810-5/index.html

Among that abandonware: ATI’s neural implant for reducing cluster headaches, Nuvectra’s spinal-cord stimulator for chronic pain, Freehand’s paralysis bypass for hands and arms, and others. People with these implants are left in a precarious limbo, reliant on reverse-engineering and a dwindling supply of parts for maintenance.

Drew asked his expert subjects what is to be done about this. The least plausible answer is to let the market work its magic: “long-term support on the commercial side would be a competitive advantage.” In other words, wait for companies to realize that promising a durable product will attract customers, so that the other companies go out of business.

A better answer: standardization. “If components were common across devices, one manufacturer might be able to step in and offer spares when another goes under.” 86% of surgeons who implant neurostimulators back this approach.

But the best answer comes from Hunter Peckham, co-developer of Freehand and a Case Western biomedical engineer: open hardware. “Peckham plans to make the design specifications and supporting documentation of new implantable technologies developed by his team freely available. ‘Then people can just cut and paste.’”

This isn’t just the best answer, it’s the only one. There’s no ethical case for permanently attaching computers to people’s nervous systems without giving them the absolute, irrevocable right to nominate who maintains those computers and how.

This is the case that Christian Dameff, Jeff Tully and I made at our Defcon panel this year: “Why Patients Should Hack Medtech.” Patients know things about their care and their needs that no one else can ever fully appreciate; they are the best people to have the final say over med-tech decisions:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_i1BF5YGS0w

This is the principle that animates Colorado’s HB22–1031, the “Consumer Right To Repair Powered Wheelchairs Act,” landmark Right to Repair legislation that was signed into law last year:

https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2022/06/when-drm-comes-your-wheelchair

Opponents of this proposal will say that it will discourage investment in “innovation” in neurological implants. They may well be right: the kinds of private investors who hedge their bets on high-risk ventures by minimizing security and resilience and exploiting patents and user-data might well be scared off of investment by a requirement to make the technology open.

It may be that showboating billionaire dilettantes will be unwilling to continue to pour money into neural implant companies if they are required to put the lives of the people who use their products ahead of their own profits.

It may be that the only humane, sustainable way to develop neural implants is to publicly fund that research and development, with the condition that the work products be standard, open, and replicable.

Straight from the Heart

Vol. 1, Ep. 1

I was raised to be a CEO, a leader - the one who steers the company through tough decisions by strength of vision. The burden of a visionary is that he is often way ahead of his time and thus, must manage resistance to innovation or else be discounted. For me, doing the right thing is personal for I cannot divorce what I push from the way of life I cherish and wish to pass onto posterity - the right to be healthy through nutrition, martial art, namely Tai Chi and sports and the right to be creative in skateboarding, making music, teaching/coaching and bringing my unique way to market is what I work to cultivate and preserve every day and what I fight and bleed for when I join the Navy SEALs.

Reading and writing have been integral to my education as a leader. Being hospitalized for making an off, strong remark about someone who abused me feels like tyranny but may well be a blessing in disguise for it was to rectify said injustice, this reputation sinking "mentally ill" label over my head that I began again to write in a serious way. It is of no consolation that my call for help as to how poorly we are treated here and what little chance we are given once we leave will fall upon blind eyes, deaf ears. It is clear that the community has been falling apart since disintegration of the middle class - the fire sales of steel and auto, yet no one wants to take responsibility for the community. This is manifest in how little respect we as patients get in here with neither any effort to meet our most basic needs - the food is garbage filler! Nor even a "Good morning! How are you today?" I am terrified by the ramifications of how they must treat the young and elderly in their own communities.

Just the other day, a boy was shot with school bus caught in crossfire. I am not surprised given how little attention is paid to health in what ought to be the main progenitor of long life and prosperity: the hospital.

How do we come to diverge on matters universally important as health and being respectful? It is sad to acknowledge that what is considered falling behind for me is being comfortable and belonging to the staff and poor patients here. There is no sense of competitiveness! To think that one can "make it" and get away with working less is a slow death. Surely, even their comfy administrative jobs will become obsolete if the US doesn't add value to the global economy in a more inclusive way. I say preventive medicine health insurance is the way. Tai Chi, boxing, soccer from England and all that has gone into me has enabled me to overcome the most heartbreaking, tragic losses and extreme forms of prejudice and I know it can be made common to all young grasshoppers. Hence, my commitment to developing this publication into a brain trust expert in all things health-, spirit-, interpersonal- and growth-related, conducive to health of this and all nations from the primary individual to the largest scale of party and other affiliations.

The fact is, the body of work we seek to create is vast. I welcome honest, driven and sincere dialogue in all mediums from internet radio to all city contests. Get set!

Even more, I don't know your problems: I have been blessed with a life rich in experiences but having yet to accomplish the goal of establishing an illustrious institution speaks of the potential to become a more competent leader. Thus, I welcome you to honest, realistic discourse as to your inner, family, social and working lives. Go!

One more thing: what with all the cries of insanity, gaslighting, stonewalling, railroading that goes along with no oversight in this and every other psych ward that I have spent time in, it is hard to find solace, something beautiful - a sign that someone has us in their heart. Reduced to little more than a body, writing serves as passage to being loved. I recall Mr. Hine's good humor and Mr. Willis' grandfatherly tone. I may never know the reason why people hate me and how they can get away with hideous intentions, but I accept that I may perish repping what is right. Talk you way out of losing sovereignty of a population ignorant to the custom of loyalty. Corporate counsel is international, baby.

Does Getting an MBA Make Someone a Better Entrepreneur?

In the world of entrepreneurship, the debate about whether an MBA enhances one's abilities as an entrepreneur is ongoing. While many successful entrepreneurs like Steve Jobs and Richard Branson thrived without formal business degrees, others like Elon Musk and Sundar Pichai have advanced business education. So, what is the real impact of an MBA on entrepreneurship? Does it significantly improve one’s ability to start and grow a business, or is the entrepreneurial spirit something that thrives independently of academic qualifications?

The simple answer is that it depends on a variety of factors. However, the role of an MBA in fostering business acumen and strategic thinking can’t be denied. More specifically, earning an MBA can provide the tools, knowledge, and connections essential for entrepreneurial success, enhancing MBA employability in various business sectors.

The Value of MBA for Aspiring Entrepreneurs

An MBA program provides students with a structured framework for understanding business fundamentals, which can be invaluable when starting a business. While raw entrepreneurial talent is essential, knowledge of financial management, marketing, operations, and leadership can give entrepreneurs a competitive edge. Here's how an MBA can contribute to developing a better entrepreneur:

1. Knowledge of Business Operations

An entrepreneur needs a firm grasp of core business functions—finance, accounting, marketing, and human resource management. These are the bedrocks of any successful venture. An MBA curriculum is designed to provide an in-depth understanding of how each function operates and how they integrate within a business. Having this knowledge can help entrepreneurs make informed decisions, mitigate risks, and allocate resources efficiently.

Understanding concepts like cash flow management, market analysis, and supply chain operations allows MBA graduates to steer their businesses through challenges that would otherwise sink startups.

2. Enhanced Leadership Skills

Entrepreneurs are not just the brains behind their business ideas; they also need to be effective leaders who inspire and guide teams toward a unified vision. Leadership is a key focus in most MBA programs. Through case studies, leadership simulations, and team-based projects, MBA students hone their ability to manage people, resolve conflicts, and make sound decisions under pressure. These leadership qualities can translate directly into the entrepreneurial journey, as entrepreneurs must manage teams and influence stakeholders with varying levels of interest in their venture.

3. Strategic Thinking and Problem Solving

MBA programs emphasize strategic thinking—the ability to view the big picture and plan long-term business strategies. Entrepreneurs often get bogged down by day-to-day operations, but an MBA equips them with tools to stay focused on the larger vision. Whether it's expanding into new markets or launching innovative products, strategic planning is crucial for sustained business growth.

Moreover, the program also teaches students how to approach complex problems and devise innovative solutions—a skill critical for navigating the unpredictable world of startups.

4. Networking Opportunities

The networking potential in MBA programs is often underrated but can be a game-changer for entrepreneurs. MBA programs are populated by ambitious, like-minded individuals, faculty, and alumni who can become future collaborators, investors, or mentors. These connections offer entrepreneurs access to a vast pool of resources, including insights from established businesses, industry trends, and potential funding opportunities.

A well-established institution like the Vishveshwarya Group of Institutions (VGI), for instance, boasts an extensive network of alumni and industry partnerships that can significantly enhance MBA employability and open doors for aspiring entrepreneurs to build valuable professional relationships.

5. Access to Funding and Resources

Funding is the lifeblood of any startup. MBA students often have direct access to venture capitalists, angel investors, and entrepreneurship incubators associated with their business schools. This access provides a vital advantage to MBA entrepreneurs, as they can secure early-stage funding more easily than those without such resources. Additionally, Vishveshwarya Group of Institutions (VGI) has programs dedicated to fostering entrepreneurial talent, providing students with incubators, mentorship, and access to capital—essential ingredients for business success.

Limitations of an MBA in Entrepreneurship

Despite the benefits, an MBA is not a one-size-fits-all solution for every aspiring entrepreneur. It’s crucial to acknowledge some limitations:

1. High Cost of MBA Programs

MBA programs, especially those offered by prestigious institutions, come with a hefty price tag. This significant financial burden can be a deterrent for those who are bootstrapping their businesses. Entrepreneurs must weigh the potential ROI of an MBA against the cost of obtaining one. Often, the funds used for education could be invested directly into launching a startup.

2. Risk Aversion

MBA programs are designed to teach students how to avoid risks and make calculated decisions. However, entrepreneurship often requires taking bold risks and venturing into uncharted territory. Some critics argue that an MBA might make entrepreneurs too cautious, discouraging them from taking the leaps of faith necessary to innovate and disrupt industries.

3. MBA Programs May Not Foster Creativity

While MBA programs emphasize strategic planning and execution, they may not nurture the creative, out-of-the-box thinking that is often necessary for groundbreaking entrepreneurship. Creativity and innovation are qualities that thrive on flexibility and may be stifled by too much structure. Entrepreneurs driven primarily by vision rather than formal processes may find that their MBA education doesn’t align with their natural instincts.

How Vishveshwarya Group of Institutions (VGI) Supports MBA Employability for Entrepreneurs

Institutions like the Vishveshwarya Group of Institutions (VGI) are noteworthy for fostering both MBA employability and entrepreneurship. VGI offers an MBA program tailored to meet the demands of today's dynamic business environment, integrating entrepreneurial training into the curriculum. VGI not only focuses on theoretical knowledge but also ensures that its students have practical, real-world experience by engaging them in entrepreneurship projects, business simulations, and internships.

This emphasis on practical experience, combined with the strong industry connections and alumni networks that VGI provides, equips MBA graduates with a comprehensive toolkit that enhances their employability and entrepreneurial potential. In this sense, pursuing an MBA at institutions like VGI can provide aspiring entrepreneurs with the resources and knowledge they need to navigate the complex world of business with confidence and strategic insight.

Conclusion

The question of whether an MBA makes someone a better entrepreneur depends on individual goals and circumstances. An MBA undeniably offers a wealth of knowledge, leadership skills, strategic thinking abilities, and invaluable networks that can help entrepreneurs succeed. However, it is important to understand the limitations as well—an MBA cannot replace the innate risk-taking, creativity, and grit that define successful entrepreneurs.

Ultimately, if your entrepreneurial ambitions align with gaining a structured understanding of business, leadership, and strategic insight, then an MBA, especially from institutions like Vishveshwarya Group of Institutions (VGI), could be a powerful asset in your entrepreneurial toolkit.
