Against all of the advice in the world, I'm trying to set things up to avoid basically everything described in the article. It's tricky because the truth is that a lot of the tactics work and that is why companies implement them.

Yeah I would be fine with almost all of the statistics missing. I'm just one datapoint and I might be a bad one. Most of my GPS use is in the planning phase. I could also imagine people wanting to share visualizations of their route wi

I love the examples on your site. I tried it out but got this message: "Error Track does not contain Timing data." It would be awesome if it could work on GPX files that don't contain timing data. I often want to visualize a

One possible scenario is that they had a bird strike on one engine but then accidently turned the working engine off instead. Full loss of power from both engines could have taken the data recorder offline in an older aircraft like this one

I share the frustration but I'm also confident that solutions will be found. People had the same thought in 1995. "Consider today's online world. The Usenet, a worldwide bulletin board, allows anyone to post messages across t

There are a lot of categories of products where it still makes sense to do the manufacturing close to the customer. Take a look at the window industry for example. There is still a lot of manufacturing in North America, both small and large

I had an opportunity to do some industrial work while putting myself through university. I do wish there were more opportunities to do industrial work on a part time, temporary, or casual basis. There is something particularly rewarding abo

One might wonder if they eventually get rebranded as Serial Processing Units and Parallel Processing Units but of course it isn't that cut and dry either.

One of the pieces of advice I would give to someone early in your career is to find a trusted seasoned executive who can share a perspective that I have never seen captured well in writing. Typical actual comp structures for a number of car

It's not so black and white. Arguably, this has already happened. When I phone the bank, I don't get to talk to a person right away. An AI agent asks me questions about what I am trying to achieve and also collects initial informa

One simple thing I think about: Forty years ago in North America, a couple without kids would have been outliers. Today, they are still the exception but it's probably a lot easier to find community. I'm in this category and we do

The reality of OKRs (or Rockefeller Habits or any other company wide framework for establishing priorities and goals,) is that by going through the exercise of trying to create them across the company, you often discover that there are mean

The more I learn about epigenetics, RNA, and DNA, the more convinced I am that we need to be investing much more heavily in this area. There are a lot of barriers. It starts with our education system where people need to be in school until

This sounds great for the problem they are trying to solve but it also sounds like it could be useful for a lot of other interesting applications. I would assume you could put the same sensor on a plastic pipe and infer details about the li

The charts showing the growth of the number of objects in orbit in recent years are wild. I have to expect this will be a lot more common going forward.

"At the very least, it’s clear that this is a question for which the models do not achieve consensus. Every single option was chosen at least once and I believe the models chose poorly in almost every case. Additional written training
