User-centered to User-focused

Pursue intermediate goals to achieve the ultimate agenda.

I misread the 'intermediate' as immediate. Going for the immediate or jumping into action or the Bezo's action bias, gets you the low hanging forests, your actions informs the strategy.

But its 'intermediate' and hence we move onto the Obliquity principle ( funny - Balboa looking for gold not oceans..., Another dark humor with guns aimed at the ocean) . If you think something is 'not part of the study', you are scoping yourself in, which is good project management but you are not looking for solutions. 

Obliquity means moving from learner-centered for example in high-ed to less learner-focused. Territory is not the map. Learner is not the lesson. Not all good is user-centered (sic). Not all good 'design' is user-centered.

Reverse index

Looking at this overloaded  page on typesense , I wanted to understand some of the terms. A  good example  of reverse index is when you have to search for 234, 235, 236. Here it makes sense to find the differeing last number sooner than the initial long, same numbers.  The time to  dynamically reconstruct inverted index  is important.

Music and NFT

Like  Audius  could   Spotify and othe rmusic companies let both their company and a network be controlled by token holders. Of the 11B music industry, how much can be NFT driven? Solana block chain Which existing blockchain/NFT platforms can add music to their offerings? If they cant add, what stops them from it? Is it fragmented customer base when it comes to music choice? Are cetain types of music lovers more congregative? Is enjoying music seen as a solitary hobby or as a group one? For example, our fitness instructor realises that different kind of people have different taste when it comes to workout music and hence asks if we want hers on or not.
