A Quote by John Carmack

You can prematurely optimize maintainability, flexibility, security, and robustness just like you can performance.

Flexibility Just Like Like You Optimize Performance Security

Extra features were once considered desirable. We now recognize that 'free' features are rarely free. Any increase in generality that does not contribute to reliability, modularity, maintainability, and robustness should be suspected.

Boris Beizer

A heart monitor is only useful if it's being remotely monitored if there's security. That is a massive issue that you need to solve. The difference between having the Internet in your phone and having the Internet understand your pulse and the motion of all of your limbs. There's just a different level of security and robustness that's required.

Steve Mollenkopf

To optimize the whole, we must sub-optimize the parts

W. Edwards Deming

Technology has also had a big impact, especially on the bike. Now everything is tested aerodynamically, wind tunnels are used to optimize performance, and frames, wheels, water bottles are all tested. Even clothing, like my Castelli Stealth Top, is faster than skin.

Timothy O'Donnell

Don’t optimize for conversions, optimize for revenue.

Neil Patel

The reality is that there are simply not enough skilled humans available to properly plan, manage, integrate, and optimize security devices, strategies, and protocols.

Ken Xie

Israel's flexibility is dependent on its sense of security.

Elliott Abrams

It is much more difficult to measure non-performance than performance. Performance stands out like a ton of diamonds. Non-performance can almost always be explained away

Harold Geneen

In addition to virtually banning methanol outright, the EPA has created regulations to prevent cars from being modified by small businesses to optimize their performance, including through the use of methanol.

Robert Zubrin

What we want to work with manufacturers on is to figure out how can we accommodate both interests in a sensible way? How can we optimize the privacy, security features of their devices and allow court orders to be complied with?

James Comey

We must take precautions against being prematurely honed sharp--since at the same time we are being prematurely honed thin.

Friedrich Nietzsche

When you think about things like power efficiency or performance or Internet connectivity as major technology areas where you have multiple investments, multiple products - security is like that.

Renee James

It turns out that if you optimize the performance of a car and of an airplane, they are very far away in terms of mechanical features. So you can make a flying car. But they are not very good planes, and they are not very good cars.

Gregory Benford

Things change. There has to be flexibility. Let me give you an example. President Xi, we have a, like, a really great relationship. For me to call him a currency manipulator and then say, “By the way, I'd like you to solve the North Korean problem,” doesn't work. So you have to have a certain flexibility, Number One. Number Two, from the time I took office till now, you know, it's a very exact thing. It's not like generalities.

Donald Trump

The future of healthcare security should include flexibility from the federal government to allow us to serve the state's most vulnerable citizens.

Tom Vilsack

Engineers love to optimize problems. Now I optimize logistical problems. I ask: 'What's the goal? What are our constraints? What is the optimal, elegant way to get to that goal within those constraints?' I break it down in terms of a data funnel: 'Where in the funnel are we inefficient?' That analytical background really helps.
