Larry Scheinfeld: What is Silicon Valley Known For? Larry Scheinfeld
It should be no surprise that Mike Judge, who brought us such satirical classics as “Office Space” and “Idiocracy,” has once again hit home with his latest venture, “Silicon Valley.” The breakout HBO comedy has resonated with audiences not only for its great actors and brilliant writing, but also for its surprisingly accurate, if not somewhat absurd depiction of the tech industry and start-up culture.
From eccentric investors to socially inept engineers, the show draws many of its laughs from reality. In this presentation, Larry Scheinfeld includes are a few examples of “Silicon Valley” as truth in television.

El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.

21. THE GAMES ALWAYS MAKE MONEY…FOR THE IOC, FOR CONSTRUCTION COMPANIES, FOR CONSULTANTS, FOR CORPORATE SPONSORS… Montreal took 31 years to pay of Olympic debt! London 2012 games $16 billion over budget!
22. “ Financing is the biggest obstacle,” said Jerry Karlik, a principal at Kargil Development, which has done projects in the South Loop and responded to a bid committee request for expressions of interest in the Olympic Village earlier this year. “There’s going to have to be some sort of assistance: guarantees, tax credits or something. Mr. Karlik, who attended the luncheon, said he figures lenders today won’t finance more than 60% to 70% of a project, compared with 80% to 90% before the recession. “ Someone’s going to have to come to the table to fill the void,” he said.” May 13, 2009

68. The challenge – to deliver our materials to the IOC directly. The obstacle – tight security everywhere, including the Danish army, Copenhagen police, the Secret Service and the 2016 Committee’s own private security detail from Chicago!
