Semi-related: Most humans stopped valuing the stars after mechanical clocks were invented. That led us to follow the abstract time rather than the sun, seasons and therefore the stars. That combined with cities with light pollution, makes y

If congestion pricing is not pegged on income or value of the car (both are tricky to implement), it is most likely a regressive tax. A flat low fee of 5-10 dollars will just remove low-income drivers from the street, making it more complic

Agile got widespread adoptions because of the micromanagement undertone of it, starting with the daily scrum. It's a slippery slope, way to easy to over do. The risk is it starts something to be gamed/incentivized instead of actua

You could argue e-mail is to some degree decentralized, anybody can run their own server and send and receive email. I'm sure people right now are using it for hate speech and illegal porn. If someone sends you via email dubious conten

Exactly, if on-call is hard it means everybody is doing mediocre work therefore you are probably not growing/learning. If you don't want to leave, start thinking of what parts are the worst offenders and tackle those as high prior

Around a week ago the congress released the tech antitrust report and Facebook has been singing a different tune (first qanon, now this). Amazing what regulatory oversight achieves, once profits and power are on the line to be lost.
