car-ogance law

Car-ogance law states that whenever cyclists raise valid questions about their safety or discomforts that within three responses car owners will try to bend the topic/discussion about the own responsibility and unsafe behavior of that cyclist.

Example 1:
"Yesterday I got hospitalized because I got doored by a car-owner that opened his door"
"Those damn cyclists should wear a helmet. It is your own fault!"
"You're showing car-ogance and should keep your attention on the traffic instead of opening the car door without looking"

Example 2:
"I don't feel safe on the roads of Amsterdam sharing the road with SUV's."
"Cyclists always run a red light. You should follow the rules."
"You are showing car-ogance and should be aware that other people are also in traffic without a car."
"Car-ogance law strikes! You're showing car-ogance and should keep your attention on the traffic instead of opening the car door without looking"

Hewlett's Law

Hewlett's Law:

A phenomenon that describes the tendency of innovative tech giants to eventually lose their edge and resort to manufacturing printers as a means of sustaining their business. The term is named after Hewlett-Packard (HP), one of the earliest and most innovative companies in the tech industry, which eventually became known primarily for its printers.

As companies grow and become more established, they often become more risk-averse and less focused on innovation. This can lead to a decline in their ability to stay ahead of the curve and adapt to changing market conditions. Eventually, these companies may find themselves struggling to remain relevant and profitable, and may turn to more reliable revenue streams like printer manufacturing.

Hewlett's Law serves as a cautionary tale for tech companies, reminding them of the importance of maintaining a culture of innovation and staying ahead of the curve in order to avoid becoming irrelevant and relegated to manufacturing products that are seen as commodities.
The fact that Xerox's name has become synonymous with copiers and printers is a testament to the power of Hewlett's Law and its ability to transform even the most innovative companies.
