Simple Sabotage Field Manual (1945)
- scott_s 4y agoI saw this because it was deep in the HN submission about the completion of C23 (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32352569 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32352569). What caught my attention is not the physical stuff, but what starts on page 18 of the pdf: General Interference with Organizations and Production. It's recommendations for how to sabotage group work. I found the guidance sobering, as I have seen all behaviors at some point in my career. (I don't suspect sabotage, but rather incompetence.)

- _int3_ 4y agoThis manual tell you to do things that people warned you not to do when you were learning. Some of them for your own safety , some for safety of others and equipment. For example. "Don't play with matches." in this manual becomes : "Play with matches", "Put your smartphone in airplane mode" becomes: "Turn on every possible connection in your smartphone."
