Leaf blowers are absolutely useless. If you want to do useless stuff but without the noise, take a rake.

Yay, let's not doom and brood about it and be positive. Who knows what kind of shareholder value can be extracted from this. A startup to sell ice water to Saudi Arabia? A water theme park with orca captives? A dumping group for PFAs?

Capitalism is like a sleight of hand trick, a cheap con designed to distract with stupid toys and distractions while it robs you blind. It pretending that it's creating value, while never showing where the value comes from. Often it co

I just tried it out on Ubuntu using Google Meet web app via Chrome, and tried streaming Netflix to my friend. Nothing weird happened and all content could easily be streamed.

Astutely put! Persecuting journalism is morally deplorable regardless whether the hand of the enforcer is wearing white gloves. Btw, in Assange's case, he got a really really harsh treatment, so I am not sure if I can even use the whit

Why does it have to be EXACTLY the same as Russia and North Korea to still be repression of journalism? It's a fact that there is a repression, albeit of a different kind. Yes, instead of outright telling them what to write, the Americ

I upvoted you because you are right. Yes, arguably there is a bit more press freedom in the US and it's not repressed as hard and brutally as in Russia/China. In the US, soft repression mostly does the job: lobby-ism, buying up me

There can be sync sessions, of course, if people self organize and want that. My team particularly has a placeholder "sync" session every Tuesday, for example, and we might add more if we think it's needed. Other teams do the

My favorite change management approach (is totally not made up, I promise) consists of three main pillars. It's also a well known fact that tripods and pyramids and triangles are mystically powerful, so my methodology is totally legit,

I find it both puzzling but also sad that we as managers have to argue with somebody for giving us the time and space to make improvements. Who is that parental figure? Why have we reached this state as an industry? Why do we have to beg fo

You are saying it's normal to use "water cooler" talk to find what you should be working on? The sad thing is that probably for some organizations, that's the norm. Management is incapable of creating clear vision and cl

We are all to "suck it up" because, for some reason, being constantly interrupted is something that we supposedly have to be okay with. I say no, let the busybodies and loudmouths adapt to us for a change.
