It sounds like whomever shaped your teams & responsibilities didn’t take into account the team’s cognitive load. I find it’s often overlooked, especially by those who think agile means “everyone does everything”. The trick is to become

I think some people add a lot of that negativity themselves as they read. Anyway, this article is not about somebody buying a yacht, so it would have been odd to bring that up.

Alternative title: Billionaire buys himself three new space missions. This is obviously great for SpaceX, as Jared Isaacman will be helping to finance SpaceX's development without (as I understand it) any long term stake in the company

Do so, no question about it! Once most children disappear down a YouTube rabbit hole of unboxing or gaming they're lost. It's scary to see how addictive our modern passive entertainment is. In my experience, the best thing to do i

Yes, I think a proper Lego setup for young children requires the parents to set up the right environment. We devote quite a bit of space to Lego so that it’s always on hand and I’m a bit fanatical about Lego organisation. That helps both wh

Most of the now & then examples are both true now. The classic sets still exist and how children play with Lego depends on their personality and what they have available (and how it is stored). Children are individuals and Lego allows a

Even in countries with zero child deaths due to traffic, children need to have some traffic sense, and that's part of what helps keep the accident rate low. Cars exist and a child running into the road unexpectedly can still be injured

I'd add a 4th point: accept a wider definition of work when counting your hours. A lot of us are lucky enough to have knowledge based jobs, which require mental tasks of solution design and decision making that are hard to quantify. I

I moved from the UK to Scandinavia and there is a BankID system that allows you to authenticate yourself for any digital service, public or private, and it's amazing how useful that is. I work in financial services and the ability to c

Where’s the link to reduced policing? Crime rates are most definitely not as simple an equation as more police = less crime. There’s a myriad of factors at work and taking any simple assumption of a single cause and effect is bound to be wr

Road rage is never acceptable, regardless of what the other vehicle is doing. Making Lane hogging illegal and calling that anti-road rage seems to accept that road rage is a legitimate response to an action by someone else, which it never i

Lane hogging is not road rage, which is why the naming is ironic. Road rage itself is never justifiable, regardless of what the other party is doing.

The author proves a weak opinion piece that seems to actually reinforce the idea of enabling experiences. Slogans are short but understanding is long & nuanced. People who debate slogans don't debate the underlying intention &

I find it ironic but unsurprising that something called the Anti-Road Rage Act legislates against lane hoggers. Whilst I find lane hoggers annoying I think the responsibility for road rage is with the raging party, so I'd prefer an act

I'd be interested if can you supply a good body of evidence to support the claim that significant, widespread de-policing has occurred in the US and it's effects. Mostly I've just seen opinion pieces that cherry pick numbers.

I would be surprised if part of Milan's plan wasn't just to paint some bits of roads a different colour and call it a cycle path. These large initiatives tend to be a mix of solutions, from paint to dedicated cycle paths. This has

Depends on jurisdiction but some countries have a court claims system for small debts, which costs a few percentage of the amount being claimed. The claim is reviewed by the process and a court judgement passed. Really useful when you need

I (naively) think the best comparison would be how we want such a company to work, one that protects the actors within it's ecosystem, especially de facto employees, and takes responsibility for accepting fraudulent transactions.

Remember, companies will always look after themselves before anyone else. If Upwork is the middleman here providing a payment platform, then I'd expect them to swallow the cost of card fraud, not the freelancer. I suspect individual fr

There is also the impact of context switching from phone use to driving, which I imagine pretty much everyone has experienced. The reason for the law is to stop people being distracted and there is a delay in refocusing attention when switc

The colour of the light is a moot point. If a driver is in charge of a vehicle that is on the road, then the laws apply. The UK government's guidance on this is clear on that and after years of media & press about phone usage whils
