New paper: before the Counter-Reformation, Catholic and Protestant cities had comparable numbers of scientists per capita.
Afterwards, Catholic cities experienced a persistent relative decline.
Counter-Reformation's search for heresy was a negative shock to science.

There's nothing like starting a startup to give you startup ideas. You discover all kinds of needs you didn't know existed. So when I talk to founders who want to change direction, the first thing I ask is: what new problems did you notice while trying to solve the old one?

“Zeno, you’re moving too slow”
That’s what my YC partner, @sdianahu (https://nitter.moomoo.me/sdianahu), told me back in January.
Turns out she was right.

**Response to @paulg:**
This is not the only such case I know of. Some startups were killed by Covid, some survived it, some grew because of it, but a few were forced to switch to whole new businesses that were much better. It shows you how resilient startups can be.
Two years' revenue growth at a successful startup. But it's not as easy as it looks. The company was founded in 2018. This is the graph of a pivot after Covid almost killed them in 2020.

'Castle Urquhart and Loch Ness.' (1916) It was as a painter of dramatic Scottish highland views that David Young Cameron found his true vocation, developing a distinctive high-colour style of painting, frequently eliminating detail to concentrate on mountains, skies and lochs.

It's well known that as companies become more bureaucratic, it gets harder to ship new software. I wonder if you could use this relationship in the other direction: if you had a culture of constantly shipping new stuff, would that prevent you from becoming bureaucratic?
