Podcast appearances and mentions of philip parker

Link to original articleWelcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Contra Ngo et al. "Every 'Every Bay Area House Party' Bay Area House Party", published by Ricki Heicklen on February 23, 2024 on LessWrong. With thanks to Scott Alexander for the inspiration, Jeffrey Ladish, Philip Parker, Avital Morris, and Drake Thomas for masterful cohosting, and Richard Ngo for his investigative journalism. Last summer, I threw an Every Bay Area House Party themed party. I don't live in the Bay, but I was there for a construction-work-slash-webforum-moderation-and-UI-design-slash-grantmaking gig, so I took the opportunity to impose myself on the ever generous Jeffrey Ladish and host a party in his home. Fortunately, the inside of his house is already optimized to look like a parody of a Bay Area house party house, so not much extra decorating was needed, but when has that ever stopped me? Richard Ngo recently covered the event, with only very minor embellishments. I've heard rumors that some people are doubting whether the party described truly happened, so I'd like to set the record straight. Thus, this is part linkpost, part exegesis, and part shameless promotion of my events for potential future venue-lenders. The party had 60 attendees, at least according to the Manifold Market on the topic. Upon arrival, partygoers put on tags with their name, professional title, and LessWrong karma. Attendees were also instructed to put on a wristband that successfully communicated their flirting policies. I took the wristband for people who glomarize about their flirting preferences; Richard took the wristband for those who flirt with all and only those who don't flirt with themselves. Richard writes: You scan around the living room, trying to figure out who to talk to first. The host is sitting on the sofa, with two boxes attached to the front of her shirt. One is filled with money, the other empty. A guy next to her is surreptitiously one-boxing, but she presciently slaps his hand away without even looking. This is defamation. The second box wasn't (necessarily) empty, and Richard certainly never got the opportunity to look inside it. You might be wondering what was in the box. Unfortunately for you, I glomarize not only about my flirting policies but also about my box contents. He is correct, though, that I managed to fend off all the surreptitious one-boxers, with the exception of my girlfriend Avital. She still doesn't know the contents - I would never date someone irresponsible enough to let unknown entities out of a box. The party was PYOL (provide your own liquidity), but we did offer two punches: one for "Contextualizers," and one for "Decouplers or Homophobes". Avital and I drank the punch for "Decouplers or Homophobes." We're still coupled, so you can come to your own conclusions about how homophobic we must be. My favorite part of the night happened when a circle formed around a Jewish Orthodox Rabbi friend of mine who had never heard of Rationality or Effective Altruism. Everyone at the party was eager to give him context. I joined the circle as they were discussing expanding moral circles, and the relative weight of animal lives and future people. "Eliezer doesn't even think cows are sentient," one attendee was saying. "But shrimp are!" another interrupted, causing the group to crack up. "What?" my Rabbi friend said. "Okay, back up, how much Peter Singer have you read?" another attendee said. "Like, have you read Animal Liberation and The Expanding Circle, or just Famine, Affluence, and Morality?" Avital and I tried to explain to them that our friend had not heard of any of the people they were naming, but they didn't seem to understand. Avital turned to me and said "I guess when you've read The Sequences too many times you forget about inferential distance." Eventually, my Rabbi friend said "Okay, so what I'm hearing is: you're expected to t...

Filling a hotel with furniture is about more than just picking the right chair, it's about working with your client to get the right product set up the right way for them. Our guest this week is a well rounded hospitality professional and expert in all things FF&E. Joining the show is COO - FF&E Division & Partner at The Parker Company, Mitch Parker!Mitch sits down with Host Dan Ryan to dive into all things procurement. Mitch outlines the importance of planning for proper time, the intricacies that go into furnishing a hotel, and the need for designers to design for the requirements of the hotel.Takeaways:  Hospitality is all about service. In a hotel, it's providing a place for others to feel comfortable. In procurement, it's about providing efficient service that helps your client complete their project on time and under budget.  With every item, there is often an unseen level of customization behind the scenes. Multiple locations may use the same chair, but the color, texture, and finish can vary. Managing these changes is a behind the scenes responsibility of procurement.  Design never happens in a vacuum, but is shaped by the bounds of what you are designing for. When designing furniture for hotels, an aesthetically pleasing design isn't enough, it needs to also meet the functional requirements of the hotel.  While it's important to meet client needs, you also need to open a hotel on time. To help stay on schedule, highlight the importance of making decisions to clients, and try to reduce the number of 3rd party decision makers.  As a leader of a business you need to balance employee agency with your own oversight. It's important to give your employees agency to make their own decisions, but you want to be involved enough that when problems arise, you are able to help out.  When furnishing a hotel, you need to understand how all the parts and pieces play into the overall guest experience. A single element can turn a positive experience negative for a guest, preventing them from returning to your hotel.   As a purchaser, time is your best friend. It's common for clients to change their mind or ask for revisions half way through the process. By building in a buffer, you can meet client requests without delaying the project.   Quote of the Show:“You can have a beautiful design, but if it can't be executed, you have a problem.” - Mitch ParkerLinks: Website: https://parkerinternational.com/  Website: https://wazi.com/  Shout Outs: 01:02 - Leonard Parker 04:23 - The Maxwell Company 06:39 - The High Point Furniture Market: https://www.highpointmarket.org/  09:13 - Marriott Courtyard: https://courtyard.marriott.com/  09:43 - Four Seasons: https://www.fourseasons.com/  09:44 - Rosewood: https://www.rosewoodhotels.com/en/default   09:46 - The Ritz-Carlton: https://www.ritzcarlton.com/  33:45 - Carole Monestime: https://www.linkedin.com/in/carole-monestime-5aa4192b/  34:11 - Linda Hein: https://www.linkedin.com/in/linda-hein-6a49a423/  34:13 - Marilyn Webb: https://www.linkedin.com/in/marilyn-webb-a4024511/  47:38 - Gregg Parker: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gregg-parker-418a1131/  48:33 - Philip Parker: https://www.linkedin.com/in/philip-parker-6b281a2a/  48:39 - Doug Parker 48:43 - Brad Parker 48:55 - Camp Waziyatah: https://wazi.com/  01:01:58 - American of Martinsville: https://americanofmartinsville.com/  Ways to Tune In:  Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0A2XOJvb6mGqEPYJ5bilPX Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/defining-hospitality-podcast/id1573596386 Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZGVmaW5pbmdob3NwaXRhbGl0eS5saXZlL2ZlZWQueG1s Amazon Music: ​​https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/8c904932-90fa-41c3-813e-1cb8f3c42419

Heute sprechen Heino und Uwe über Literatur & Genre. Ist das nicht das Gleiche? Irgendwie? Nun ... "Literatur ist seit dem 19. Jahrhundert der Bereich aller mündlich oder schriftlich fixierten sprachlichen Zeugnisse. Man spricht in diesem „weiten“ Begriffsverständnis im Hinblick auf die hier gegebene schriftliche Fixierung etwa von „Fachliteratur“ oder, im Bereich der Musik, von „Notenliteratur“ bzw. ganz allgemein von „Literatur“ im Sinne der Gesamtheit oder von Teilen schriftlich notierter Musik. Die öffentliche Literaturdiskussion und ‑analyse ist demgegenüber seit dem 19. Jahrhundert auf Werke ausgerichtet, denen besondere Bedeutung als Kunst zugesprochen werden kann, und die man im selben Moment von Trivialliteratur und ähnlichen Werken ohne vergleichbare „literarische“, sprich künstlerische Qualität, abgrenzt. Die Literatur zählt zu den Gattungen der Kunst." (Quelle) Genre-Literatur wird heute von "hoher" Literatur abgegrenzt. "Den Begriff des Genres gibt es in der klassischen Literaturwissenschaft nicht, man spricht dort von Literaturgattungen. (...) In den Medienwissenschaften unterscheidet man in der Literatur auch Genres, in der Belletristik z. B. Fantasyliteratur, historischen Roman, Krimi oder Horrorliteratur. Weitgehend durch die Stile und Topoi eines Genres bestimmte Literatur wird eher abwertend auch als „Genreliteratur“ bezeichnet. (...) Diese Einordnungen richten sich nicht allein nach literarischen Kriterien, sondern auch Marktgesichtspunkten, Lesergruppen und Konsumgewohnheiten." (Quelle) Genrebegriff von Philip Parker Im Podcast spricht Uwe auch über den Genrebegriff von Philip Parker und sein Buch "Die kreative Matrix. Kunst und Handwerk des Drehbuchschreibens", das er für seine Arbeit im Filmgeschäft ausführlich studiert hat. Philip Parkers Konzept einer differenzierten Dramaturgie zählt zu den profiliertesten Ansätzen der internationalen Film- und Fernsehbranche. Es ist ein Klassiker der europäischen Dramaturgie geworden. Seine "Kreative Matrix" bildet die Filmerzählung als Struktur sechs zentraler Elemente ab: Genre, Stil, Form, Handlungsführung, Geschichte und Thema. Was in anderen dramaturgischen Modellen das Zentrum bildet - die Handlungsführung -, ist bei Parker Teil eines komplexen Systems. Das Buch zeigt, wie der kreative Umgang mit diesen Elementen, wirkungsvollere Texte oder Filme ermöglicht. Ob Liebesgeschichte, Thriller oder Drama - Parker liefert Genre-Definitionen, die nicht nur für Drehbuchautor:innen, sondern auch Buchautor:innen sehr interessant sind. Über Uwe Uwe Carow ist Bildhauer und Autor. Er ist Mitgründer der Schauspieleragentur Red Bug Agency und des ersten deutschen e-Book-Labels Red Bug Books für Jugendbücher und Graphic Novels. Er ist preisgekrönter Lyriker, schreibt autofiktionale Texte und arbeitet an eigenen Romanprojekten. Die Verbindung von Leben und Kunst interessiert ihn besonders stark.

Something I think about a lot, and even has as my handle for whatever media platform, is how all things in reality are efforts in trying. In this episode, we explore how once a person or culture stop the effort of trying to reach the next success and rest for a moment, is the moment they are at most danger. My guest is Philip Parker, historian and author of History of World Trade in Maps, The Empire Stops Here as well as many other books. We cover a lot of ground, from how togas relate to blue jeans, how a feature in sapiens to ignore something can lead- but it leaves us open to problems, how maps help us see the world in the story they were crafted in, as well as much much more. https://philipparker.net/other-books/

Philip Parker, the COO of Coral Health is a data scientist with expertise leveraging diverse data assets to guide operations and marketing strategy. After graduating from Harvard University, Philip consulted  for Fortune 500 for pharmaceutical clients and Analysis Group where he led health economics and effectiveness projects across a range of treatments. Jeremy Mullen is a strategist and a data expert who has spent his entire career advising Fortune 1000 enterprises on data aggregation and strategy. Previous to Coral Health, he served as the director at Research Now, Inc., the global leader in data collection. He is currently the Board of Director for the Toronto chapter of the Marketing Research and Intelligence Association (MRIA) and is a member of the data association. He also leads the Coral Health’s corporate development strategy and partnership development.   Episode Overview: This episode is a powerful listen as it delves into the healthcare issues where we find most patient-doctor situation are not able to access their data in time and benefit from the full healthcare delivery. Coral Health’s blockchain-powered solutions accelerates care delivery, automate multiparty administrative processes, and improve health outcomes by enabling secure, real-time, shared access to validated healthcare information. They drive adoption to their system from the ground up with targeted enterprise applications that provide immediate operational benefits to healthcare providers, payers, pharmaceutical companies and labs.   Tips they shared: Try to keep it simple Start of a business model first Put some thoughts into a business problem and try to develop a solution. Think of a business model that you are actually solving and need? And does blockchain actually need to be involved at all? In blockchain healthcare, ask if it is desirable, viable or feasible then ask if anybody is going to pay Just because someone else is doing it doesn't mean you can't do it better than them Talk to your clients and validate your ideas before putting a ton of time in building it out   Resources Mentioned: Connection Recommendation: Anita McGahan Podcast Recommendation: Decoding Healthcare Productivity tool: Jeremy - Run in the afternoon Hotspots: Burger Priest (Toronto) Website: My Coral Health LinkedIn: Coral Health Research and Discovery Inc. Twitter: myCoralHealth             Philip Parker   Company Background: Coral Health is a healthcare blockchain entity where they build blockchain solution to leverage technology in order to increase primary data exchange within the healthcare industry. The driving empaties behind Coral Health is that they find that patients and doctors spends a lot of time, dealing with frustrations (in terms of getting access to the best care possible), and a lot of it stem from the fact that they can't share their information easily throughout the system. By leveraging healthcare data and medical records, they are able to give the customer a tailored treatment at the point of care rather than a one size-fits-all health care delivery system that currently exist today.

Coral Health uses blockchain technology to improve healthcare by providing patients with control of personal medical records by improving efficiency using a streamlined process. According to Philip Parker, operations lead with Coral Health, patients currently do not have access to their own medical records which results in a healthcare system in which medical care is often based on the fragmented information. The result is an impersonal healthcare system that negatively impacts patient care and the industry. Coral Health aims to provide aggregate medical information in an efficient manner with complete control by the patient. A single app contains all the patient's medical history and information in real time. That information is secure and encrypted to ensure privacy and allows the patient to decide which health care provider gains access to what information.

This weeks guest is Philip Parker who lives in California. Phillip weighed in at 380lbs at his highest, struggled with Gerd, cholesterol, cramps, and all of the other things you would expect being 380lbs. After many years Philip realized that he had a food addiction and decided to approach it in the same way that others with addiction would, head on. We talk about the mechanisms he uses to create boundaries with the foods which trigger his addiction and his 160lb weight loss journey. We have a great conversation and I hope that you enjoy!

With John Wilson. Godzilla's back in cinemas this Thursday in a new film by British director Gareth Edwards, who earned worldwide acclaim for his debut Monsters in 2010. This time the world's most famous monster is pitted against a humanity arrogant enough to think it can control nature. Antonia Quirke reviews. John meets Ailyn Perez and Stephen Costello, two young American singers dubbed "America's fastest-rising husband-and-wife opera stars" who are starring in La Traviata at London's Royal Opera House. From There To Here is the latest TV series from writer Peter Bowker. The drama follows two families from different backgrounds in the aftermath of the 1996 bomb explosion in central Manchester.
