It's the changing conditions that make it tricky and "unnatural" in the short term. Long-term, of course everything will be fine. Life survived a lot radical changes and following mass extinctions. But as far as I can tell, u

This case of breaking metal on an open hook reminds me very much of a warning on a climbing carabiner: make sure it is clipped fully and the gate is shut, otherwise the nose might break off. I am sure someone checked the math etc, but an op

I agree that gathering user data might be a significant factor why even products of large companies do not support cloudless communication and sync. I just wanted to point out that since cloud based communication is so easy nowadays, doing

It's actually great German. Syntactically sophisticated. I am surprised by the use of the subsentence (not sure what the proper babe for this is) which puts the three larger cities in the middle of the last sentence. It would have been

I think there is something between ordering people around and wishy washy orders that works with an anti-authoritarian framework. The mainstream way of dealing with this is to work using OKRs and telling your team what to achieve rather t
