People in tech business circles love this quote by Henry Ford:

If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses.

The idea is to think outside the box and create entirely new markets instead of just new products in existing ones. Like Apple creating the iPhone (sure, smartphones existed before—but cars also existed before the Ford Model T).

But sometimes, I really want a faster horse.

Netflix in 2012 was a super fast horse. It had a simple but massive catalog of movies and shows, solid recommendations, and basic library management. Compared to my limited local media library it was great. You could actively tune your tastes and rate things with a 5-star system.

China has announced a 10-year plan to build an agricultural powerhouse, aiming for stable grain production and a more secure food supply by 2035.

The plan, reported by state media Xinhua, outlines several key strategies to enhance food security, modernize agriculture, drive technological innovation, and promote rural revitalisation.

By 2027, China aims to achieve a grain output capacity of around 700 million metric tons, strengthen self-sufficiency in key crops, make breakthroughs in agricultural technologies like seeds and machinery, and boost global competitiveness, according to the plan.

This initiative comes amid escalating tensions with the United States, an economic slowdown, and challenges posed by climate change.
