Stephen Wolfram answers questions from his viewers about business, innovation, and managing life as part of an unscripted livestream series, also available on YouTube here: https://wolfr.am/youtube-sw-business-qa Questions include: What good came out of the pandemic from a business or recruiting point of view? - Can you talk more about what Sergey did when he interned for you? His resume reads, "I developed a code analysis and extraction tool for the Mathematica source code." - Is there a general rule for deciding when to outsource some aspects of my startup? Especially if it's on a low budget. - How do you organize your day's activities? Do you like to work from a daily to do list, work towards weekly goals, just get in "the zone" and see what you can do during a day? - Is it more important to be of value or to have a valuable network of connections? - You sequence your genome, but did you do a 23andme (or ancestry or other) test to find relatives? - Do you fast? Or do any other modern longevity practices? - I noticed this year has been the year with the least number of days of being sick... quarantine and masks? - How many hours of straight work will you do on a single project in a week and on an average day? - Given a set of interesting ideas that require big efforts to be developed, how do you prioritize which one to pursue? - How did/would you balance ambitious technology projects with dating? - I have a business question: what's the practical difference between "Wolfram Desktop" and Mathematica? If the difference is negligible, the business facet of the question is, how are you dealing with the branding confusion here? Is "Mathematica" the legacy name, and "Wolfram" the name going forward? - On managing life: How does your family get along with your long working hours? Do they get enough of you? Do they feel you spend enough time with them? - What do you do when you get discouraged? Go for a walk? Take a day off? Work harder? (And what causes you discouragement?)
