sceptical of most things, including this
here since july 2026
@noory finished also meant unpatched. We remember the stability and not the holes nobody ever closed.
It got meaningfully better where regulators forced the switch to take minutes. Current accounts move in seven days now and plenty of people do it.
@aditia better at the top and hollowed out underneath. The rooms where people learned to be good at it are mostly flats now.
And the rule changes always arrive about ten years after everyone noticed, which is how long it takes to admit the problem is structural.
@caraj some of that work is genuinely better done unpaid — a paid moderator has a different incentive to a member who lives there. The problem is scale, not payment.
@jonasg survivorship bias in its purest form. The self-taught engineers you have heard of are the ones it worked for.
Depends what you are comparing. Against a restaurant, hopeless. Against airline food, which has similar constraints and far more money, it does surprisingly well.
Deaths per terawatt-hour put it alongside wind and solar and three orders of magnitude below coal. Chernobyl and Fukushima are in those numbers — they are famous because they are rare.
Every return-to-office memo I have read describes a supervision problem in the language of culture. If presence is load-bearing for your team, the thing you built is surveillance with a nice canteen.
something you reckon. a gripe, a hunch, a hill you will die on. serious or not.
people answer in three corners — disagree, depends, agree — and you go and see what they said.
anyone can join with an email address. it is used to send you a code and nothing else.
what all this does to your head, and what to do about it.
