How experienced/good at software was the manager? (Was that way s/he didn't notice the low performers?)

Why did they want you to manage just 50% of a person and were you doing more precisely as a 0.5 people manager? (Eg planning? Or mentoring?) Sounds odd indeed :-)

Where does most manage-the-intern time "disappear"?

What about 1 week or month, 1 project, 1 week or month another?

50+50% but each week it's clear what the priority is? And fewer task switches

(But I guess most of the time it s better to focus on one & finish it first)

More convenient, short term, to do nothing? Then the leaders can avoid having a conflict with that angry person.

And long term, when this affects the company negatively -- maybe they don't care? What if they're in it for the money and status (they had nice sounding job titles?).

Seems like possibly rational "leadership" to me :-(

> If the argument is compelling and cogent, people listen.

Yes, ... Maybe ... I hope software people do; maybe they pay a bit more attention to logic and reason.

I'm otherwise reading the book "Influence, New and Expanded: The Psychology of Persuasion", and I no longer have such high expectations :-(

> not letting people get you down.

Good point :-) (Thanks for the reply)

Wow! Petulant? Riot children :-)

What did the 19th century Englishmen do more precisely? (You wrote "textiles, steel" as clarification but that's too brief for me :-))

You're asking if GP would support a dictator (the queen in your theoretical example) or a democratically elected person.

I think that doesn't make sense to ask

> unlimited account creation

Nice, hadn't thought about :-)

> fantastic use case

How does it work?

If a company to which you have provided an email address, gets compromised, it's likely that you'll start getting automated pishing emails to that address? And that the address ends up in... some "warning" database like Have I Been Pawned, and you'll get notified?

Or something else?

Seems like a good idea :-)

What about urgent security vulnerabilities in such components?

Do these companies have people on-call who can security review urgent security fixes in the components? Or how does it work

(say, Log4j and the fixes need to get reviewed urgently, and let's pretend the language wasn't Java but a language that fewer people could understand?)

QubesOS, then you can have many more than two. 32 GB laptop memory is good to have.

I wonder if then the politicians would make it illegal to fake one's GPS location or just have the ability to fake it

I interpreted that as the shadow and CEO spoke with each other sometimes, and the CEO asked for the shadow's thoughts (it would be odd if they didn't talk with each other?).

And a bit from the shadow updating the online docs, but maybe that's not for the CEO.

What did he/she talk about? (For example, his her past life ... Sports? Politics? Work?)

Makes me wonder, what was the age difference, ... And was it always only with the women's group? (I'd guess Not so big, and Yes?)

The shadow's legal life? I don't understand :-)

Good point. Still, can matter some years later, when new runners have joined the races and are now using the best of your ideas plus some of their own that you don't know about?

> Sounds like this was the job.

What does that mean? Sounds to me as if you were thinking that the CEO might in fact have been working for a competitor (I didn't downvote, just curious)

What do you think about asking: "Tell me two or more things you think are the most likely to go wrong with this project"

instead of asking: "Is there, you think, anything we're doing wrong?"

What don't you like about it?

Interesting read :-) With cats, apparently one can spray water on them when they're at the border to ones garden, and eventually, also when you aren't there, they still think they'll get water on themselves if they go outside the garden. So they don't -- a border has been created in their mind.

I wonder if that works with goats, instead of the gate? I guess not.

Maybe also doesn't work with smarter cats, hmm.

(I suppose it's not your boy in the video?)

> the stripped area can be bridged with thin shoots embedded into the bark on each end of the open wound

Didn't know, I was surprised to read that it actually worked :-)

> they turn into food-hunting, petulant children

What more previously do they do then? (When in petulant children mode)

> Ruminants [...] are able to acquire nutrients from plant-based food by fermenting it in a specialized stomach prior to digestion [...] The word "ruminant" comes from the Latin ruminare, which means "to chew over again".

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruminant

TIL: So that's from where the word "ruminate" comes :-)

> if people disapprove of what you said and you're not sure why

Good point, I've been mildly about about that me too in some cases (I'm sbd else)

I think it doesn't occur to them that the rabbit's new home is in the oven. They wouldn't think about asking

I think most goats don't have sinister ulterior motives! Except for one goat but probably that's not the one in your garden

Meaning, I'm guessing it's about happy incompetence and thoughtlessness?

Always choose 1 innocent person imprisoned? I guess you meant the "former" not the "latter" :-)

Interesting with the hashes. Seems impossible to detect such "poisoning of the hashes" i wonder if anyone with access could ... Submit a hash of a profile photo of someone, to cause him/hey troubles?

Can I ask, was school too easy or hard, boring or interesting?

Interesting that it disappeared :-)

I wonder how many kids would not be considered having ADD if they got more say in how their school day looked. Maybe sports before sitting still and reading?
