FT: “How many grammes of protein do we require anyway? Does everybody need to eat like Superman? In the US, the Recommended Dietary Allowance for protein is only 0.8 grammes per kilogramme of body weight. The UK’s Reference Nutrient Intake is 0.75g per kg per day. “For most people, a good target is around 20-30g of protein per meal,” says Kat Chan, a nutritionist who suggests that some people could benefit from more. “Protein requirements increase during life phases that involve growth, repair or hormonal transition, so that includes adolescence, pregnancy, post-partum, perimenopause, menopause and later life. Protein also helps regulate blood sugar, which is important for mood, focus and steady energy. This can be particularly helpful for people navigating irregular meals, digestive issues or chronic stress.””
SaaStr: “The QBR isn’t about showing off your product or patting yourself on the back. It’s about aligning with your customer’s goals and showing how you’re helping them achieve those goals. Start by asking: What are their business objectives? What did they want to achieve when they signed up with you? Are you delivering on those objectives? Be honest about where you’re succeeding and where you’re falling short. What’s next for them? Use the QBR to understand their roadmap for the next 6-12 months and how you can support it. And importantly — ask them ahead of time what they want to discuss. Too few do this for real. And start there.”
FT: “The world’s largest economies will lack the workers they need to power growth and keep prices stable in the coming decades unless they attract more foreigners, top central bankers have warned…Across rich economies birth rates are at historically low levels, while people are living much longer. That has raised so-called dependency ratios, meaning that a far higher share of the population is no longer of working age.”
Cass Sunstein: “Hayek and the Mont Pelerins (and Posner and Epstein) seemed to be fighting old battles, and in important ways to be wrong. With respect to authoritarianism and tyranny, and the power of the state, of course they were right; but still, those battles seemed old. But those battles never were old. In important ways, Hayek and the Mont Pelerins (and Posner and Epstein, and Becker and Stigler) were right. Liberalism is a big tent. It’s much more than good to see them under it. It’s an honor to be there with them.”
