I have to switch of Tysabri soon… how’s O?

I had low expectations for Becky Chamber’s books but so far I have liked every one of them.

I am somewhat “disabled” now (the hell with that moniker), there’s nothing chic about it.

I’ll get better or die trying, but there’s a lot of confusion as to what all this means by both those well meaning and those who are assholes.

A company can’t tell you to not share your salary - it’s protected behavior. Whether you do that over a megaphone in the park or over TikTok they broke the law by firing her.

I think this is a stretch here, you’re saying “entropy is real, thus the universe is zero sum.”

Hell, we don’t even know if the energy budget for the universe is a constant - we just haven’t observed the opposite yet.

What remains constant when I give my son a hug? Or I say, “thank you?”

The zero-sum game is life stuff is nonsense.

I come from a different industry before moving into this one, but there’s a chaotic and abysmal lack of teamwork between departments in this industry that I’ve seen this far.

Have those two teams work together.

Also, foster a culture of continuous self-improvement. I’ve now seen a bunch of “it’s good enough to ship, go for it” and now whatever work arounds and bandaids are permanent. Don’t be so fast, don’t try to iterate so quickly, and focus on quality over quick ROI.

Imagine if Boeing behaved like a SaaS operator. The first version of 737 would be glued together, and in turbulence the wings would snap off “oh, I guess we should use more glue in the next version - alright guys, iterate!”

Slow down, do a good job, and the product will come.

Sorry if other languages aren’t permissible. I can delete it if I need to.

This is a weird thought. Nearly none of my wife is zero sum.

Who loses out if I buy you a beer? Or if my wife and I love each other? Or if people are nice to others?

Like seriously - if I treat someone else with respect and dignity am I required to shit on someone else? Of course not.

Perhaps it would be better if nobody was the hegemon eh?

Всё будет хорошо скоро - мир меняется быстро, и есть возможность работать в любом месте ты хочешь.

Счастливо тебе, и если тебе надо помочь, послай мне dm, не знаю что могу делать, но могу стараться помогать.

Прости за мой плохой русский, меня научали мальчики когда я жил в Украине на обмене в средней школе.

Side note, is your screen name a reference to the Beaver?

Math (and I’m a math major) has a hard-on for youth. So does comp sci.

Everyone wants to pretend they’re Abel or Galois in Math.

Man… I wish I lived where you live… wherever that is. That would be extremely hard to do here.
