Disagree. This is explicitly active: "helping you understand how the things you are doing are actually critical to the success of the team". It could include building out a team dashboard that tracks the consequences of bugfixes,

Great managers absolutely can provide motivation. They can have a genuinely compelling vision for a product - "we're going to build the best damn FooGadget on the web". They can figure out what motivates their reports and wor

Fun article. I liked the bit about how the size of A0 can be uniquely determined from abstract constraints. But I'm not convinced that the "Measuring Stuff" section involves anything more than memorising the exact dimensions

Nice game! Out of curiosity, are the daily levels built by hand or algorithmically? Is there some way to measure their difficulty computationally, other than just trying to do it yourself or seeing how many people get a perfect score? I&#x2

They only "produce" anything in an abstract economic sense.

If 250 yr old associations had that level of power, then "Vive la France" would be in serious doubt.

That's the first I've heard of that. Has the phrase been associated with cases of homicide or attempted homicide against wealthy people?

I'm not sure I'd say I'm being "charitable" when I guess that the vast majority of left-wing activists are not in fact cannibals.

I'm getting fed up of people posting these figures. Especially with a misleading description like "arrests for comments on social media". They cover a very broad range of offences, many of which the public would want to kee

Gmail used to have an html-only version if I remember rightly. Perhaps still does. It was faster and perfectly usable.

There's a bit about that in the "Tyranny of the Intolerant" section. Imo the article isn't so much making a case for that as it is lifting quotations wholesale from Timur Kuran as a sort of appeal to authority to justify

Yeah, I read the article. It doesn't address the possibility that the causality could be the other way around. The stuff about Trump and Bhattacharya is just odd. Trump rose back to power after Musk bought Twitter and gave him a plat

You claimed he urged top US officials to give military assistance to a coup. This video is just him pleading to the US public "They'll listen to you because you're as powerful as they are".

by n4r9 10mo ago
> which obviously didn't work But... how obvious is that? Perhaps it did significantly reduce those ideas when it was active. Like, if Musk hadn't reinstated Trump's account we could be looking at a different presidency.
320.
by n4r9 10mo ago
This article is predicated on an unfounded counterfactual. Who knows what would have happened if Trump's twitter account hadn't been banned? Also, it seems a bit off to describe Musk's leadership of Twitter as triggering the

Nice resource, thanks. I've often found myself adding "suggestion" or "nitpick" at the start of comments as it does help to set the right tone.

You're right about the figures, that's my mistake, thanks for teaching me. I'm not convinced by the rest of your argument. For example: > there are other more applicable laws to choose from such as the Public Order Act, th

I'm fine with providing status updates and a rough idea of next steps. Less so fully breaking down projects into small items, or building a year(s)-long roadmap based on a quarterly release schedule with committed items etc...

It's not just how many cars there are, but how big they are, how aggressively they're driven, and how much infrastructure there is for bikes alongside.

That's totally fair. I didn't mean "expectation" in the sense of social pressure, but rather that it's likely that someone would want to use their skills in that way.

That is a shocking stat, although I see that the source article only looked at the 20 most populous counties in the US: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8325358/ I wonder if that causes some selection bias
