Seems like “noble” (?) life-saving trainings to me. I personally wouldn’t oppose to my body being used for that borderline medical use-case.

Would anyone here have good reads linked to that topic, I’m interested to share - writing this, I just realize I should’ve asked my friend Copilot too.

One interesting framework linked to this I found a couple years ago and still refer too frequently is the Orbit model (https://orbit-model.vercel.app)

   > How exactly do you ensure that you only hire the best person for the job?

I’d bet this article answers very concrete decisions they had to take internally recently and the article’s writer simply decided to turn his opinion into a company « value ».

The exact opposite stance would’ve been possible (as in « we’re an intercultural, diverse place to work and we try to make the world a better and safe place for everybody, one hire at a time »), and companies usually mix a bit of the 2.

Don’t assume evil intentions or a big « socio-political » plan. That just looks like a company leader trying to make an opinionated decision public, so anyone working there could subscribe. Better in my opinion than nothing.

The MEI (as opposed to DEI) acronym is however unfortunate as it can easily raise unneeded binary conflicts, as seen on this forum ;)

Once you’re used to it, you dose your deceleration by focusing on how much you release the throttle.

And the only situations where you have to hit the breaks are the unexpected events - e.g., a car coming at the last moment and which you should give priority to.

You can’t expect such an exercise to be treated with transparency (#5. Lay off 20% more of those guys) as there’s just too much to lose by doing so. On the other hand, those goals are subtle but clear enough for the top managers of the company to inspire themselves and define their own - more concrete - yearly ambitions.

And the lower you go in the org, the more concrete the goals (assuming there are any at all). No yearly goal is worse to me than unclear ones, as it gives red flags of management not giving a shit and cruising.

Only 2 letters away from making this TRAGIC.

For those of you loving the “deeply-focused and manually curated music channel” vibe, I can only recommend to check out Digitally Imported (di.fm), which I started listening for free and turned into a paying user for years now. They now own many apps, each featuring its own music style (electronic music, jazz, classical, rock, zen, etc.).

Some live shows are popping up from time to time, adding a bit of “social experience” on top, but the overall feeling I have is exactly the same as the people commenting there: what a pleasure to just log on a very specialized channel fitting your current listening needs and only have quality sounds fulfilling those needs. No add, no commercial tune, no fuss: only rare versions of quality music organized in extremely consistent channels.

Friends at home for a relaxed moment? Why not tuning to “Late night jazz”? Aggressive repetitive coding: “Goa Psy Trance” will put you in the proper “copy-paste” mood. Long driving session: “Deep progressive” that is!

Apart from pleasing your ears, the valuable outcome (at a time of AI-propelled tracklists that will only push you to listen to the same mainstream music as your neighbours) is that you’ll gradually build a sense of what you like exactly, and when you like it exactly.

I was recently planning to get back to a regular pestle/mortar setup after yet another costly failure. Did you manage to find a way to work this around?

Interesting. I like to keep that excess oil/water, as that extra moisture on the surface of the popcorns later helps the sugar/salt stick to it - without the need for additional butter/grease.

So this point doesn’t make sense to me in this particular discussion - even though you may be right at the end of the day.

Our economy and politics are indeed favoring short-term gains by design and that is « simply » what should be controlled to a certain extent. Not easy as this should be a global move, otherwise the long-term advocates are likely to be outperformed by their short-term competitors and not have the time to implement fully their strategies.
