That's correct (I used to mess around with this stuff several years back). There's a bit more detail in part 1 of this series as well: https://mixxx.org/news/2021-11-21-dvs-internals-pt1/

New comment by nairteashop in "Harvard's response to federal government letter demanding changes"

nairteashop — Mon, 14 Apr 2025 19:37:52 +0000

Let's set aside specific terms like "fascist" for now. Below is one of the demands from the government:

> the University shall commission an external party, which shall satisfy the federal government as to its competence and good faith, to audit the student body, faculty, staff, and leadership for viewpoint diversity, such that each department, field, or teaching unit must be individually viewpoint diverse.

Do you feel this is ok for the government to demand of an educational institution? This isn't about specific political ideologies. If the Biden administration had threatened to withhold funding from a university because, for example, their hiring policies weren't left-leaning enough or something, it would be equally outrageous.

New comment by nairteashop in "Servant Leadership Theory"

nairteashop — Sun, 07 Jul 2024 16:39:59 +0000

The way I interpret "#1 Company, #2 Team, #3 Me" is that faced with a decision that benefits the company as a whole (i.e., all teams at the company) one that benefits only your team or you, you should favor the decision that benefits everyone.

For example, say your team has a huge hardware budget, and you notice another fledgling team that's working on something potentially more impactful to the company is struggling to get a decent budget. Ideally, you should transfer most or all of your budget over to them to benefit the company overall. (Mind you, I have never really seen this happen voluntarily, but again... we're talking about ideal/desirable behavior.)

It does not mean that if the company is acting in bad faith and is, for example, putting policies in place to force people to quit to save on severance or something, you go along with that and throw your team under the bus.
