If someone comes interview with me and it turns out their resume is “padded a bit”, I don’t invoice them for wasting my time. Think of it more like a first date and you each pay for your own meal.

I have a brain injury. I can’t remember my parent’s birthdays. I recently couldn’t recall my wife’s middle name. I love all those people and live with one of them. Needing or wanting a technology assist doesn’t map to one’s level of commit

I’d recommend Normal Accidents by Charles Perrow. I no longer believe the impervious system is possible. I do think PG&E needs to be forced to invest more in the infrastructure, but, at the end of the day, these accidents will still hap

These human-machine interface failures always fascinate me. The NYT makes the quip about not being able to look down and note the trim, but speed doesn’t need to be high to have these failures. It seems to be more related to system complexi

I had that exact reaction: that this paper was the earliest (that I've seen) formation of the FOMO concept. It's interesting to think back to 2000 and, as you note, consider how much additional choice we're bombarded with to

I bounce back and forth on this. I don't really feel like Facebook enriches my personal connections; it just lets me remain to a lot of people I'm not really connected to anymore. It's like having a system for maintaining l
