fifilura··on Fold Epic Paper Airplanes
Yeah, it is easy to try to correct the situation as an adult afterwards. This was just an account of my feelings then.

And as I mentioned below - maybe exactly this was in the way from making the best paper plane ever, that could fly all the way to my neighbour? What did I know?

Obviously just an anecdote.

The instructions were just there and I was certain it was the best plane ever if I just had the right paper format. And that they failed had nothing to do with my folding skills.

I had a book for this when I was a kid, but since I lived in Europe, all I had was A4 format paper and most models were for Letter or folio format!

Obviously the book was translated from US.

I don't remember how bad it was in practice but I remember it made me sad.

You can laugh at it, and most likely it will crash and burn.

But at the same time, maybe they are doing the correct analysis.

"If we stay here and grow fat the others will eat us. To infinity and beyond!".

100 years ago your business was your warehouse or your locomotive. These days, maybe your business is defined by your rate of change?

There are many reasons they wouldn't need to add up. Mutually exclusive is just one extreme.

You get better at building things - asking the right questions at the right time, knowing what to trust and what to look into.

Not very different from managing a team, just without the human problems.

To be fair, 42% decrease in one bucket may not match 37% increase in another bucket in absolute numbers.
fifilura··on Supermarket freezers across Europe hit by second suspected cyber-attack
It seems like monitoring did not work out so great for them this time :)

(Assuming they didn't also patch the telemetry software, but that is a much harder attack than just raising the temperature).

Seems like the biggest chain in Sweden, ICA, had a VPN. They were affected but only the franchise takers that were (for whatever reason) outside their internal network.

But why can they control the temperature then?

If I put a Zigbee thermometer in the freezer they can hack it all they want, but I am pretty sure they will not be able to set the temperature to 50C.

Greece for sure. It is easy to forget how poor they were just 30 years ago.

Great Britain are feeling the pain of leaving so they are living the alternate reality.

Turns out, business also favor "making things" at least before the other categories.

Although I believe they favor "making the right things" even more. Which is harder but neither the 2nd och 3rd categories help here.

I have a feeling this means something else than in Scandinavia. I am so innocent. I would take it literally "Where?" if someone said that to me. And probably ask if I could join.

Or charge the EVS when the sun shines and the wind blows. Today you don't really need to charge your EV that often.
