A somewhat related approach that I’ve found incredibly useful in my career is repeating what -others- have told you back to them, a lot. It’s honestly amazing to me how much mileage I’ve gotten out of simply saying, “I heard you say X about

Chicken pox/varicella is another disease to which a lot of children gained natural immunity prior to vaccination being an option (“chicken pox parties” were still a thing when I was a kid in the 90s). We now know that the virus can lay

It’s definitely interesting to contrast my experience with that of my child. My parents were completely illiterate when it came to computers and electronics in general, so I basically taught myself how to take things apart and fix them when

I think generally it’s easier to have these kinds of conversations with strangers because there aren’t any existing “roles” or identities in the mix based on past experience. You have a lot more freedom to explore ideas when you aren’t tied

A couple of things I found interesting from the study: - The eligible participants in the study tended to be over the age of 65 (Moderna median = 66, Pfizer median = 68) - The Pfizer cohort (738 eligible participants) was almost twice the s

If it helps you at all, we aren’t the only ones who were blindsided by the severity-level update and lack of further communication. There are several comments on the source ticket calling out the poor communication, and the earlier comments

Another issue is that they sent out the initial communication on August 25th (which I did receive), but the original wording indicated that it only affected servers that allowed user self-registration. We didn’t have that enabled, so I held

Right. My sense is it’s a dismissive and/or low effort response, especially to any sort of substantive message. But I’m also an anxious person so I’m likely reading into it too much. My typical reply if I want to quickly acknowledge so

One of the huge benefits I’ve seen since switching to remote work is fewer distractions due to “shoulder taps” throughout the day. It seems like this app is meant to recreate an environment where more of those interruptions can occur again.
