This piece was written by a highly-regarded scifi author a year and a half ago. I say that not to complain about the age but rather to marvel at the authors ability to describe so well something that is only becoming clear to many a year and half later.

Someone probably knows the answer. Ask around. This should include either customers or customer advocates. If nobody knows the answer, then do the simplest thing that accomplishes what you need in order to proceed. Sometimes that means doing nothing. If there are multiple ways to accomplish what you need, do the one that leaves you in a more flexible state for future changes. You can bring up your choices or decisions to team members if you need, possibly during a standup or just ad-hoc.

If you aren't empowered to take one of those steps, then you are in a dysfunctional environment, in that case, collect your salary and keep your head down, and if you are so inclined, try to find a new company or team to join.

I'm so mixed on that book. Lot of great info in it, some good thoughts on child development. But soooo much moral panic under the guise of science. The data used is fundamentally unable to establish a causal link.

Yes putting real life focus on children and relationships is a great thing for child development. So I guess a book furthering a moral panic to do so, while purporting to be above moral panic isn't fundamentally evil.

I'm worried it helps create a boogeyman, though, and the children it seeks to help are being harmed by the backdrop of the existential crises of our time like global warming, the authoritarian wave, etc, and social media / phones is just the most convenient vector through which this all flows.

Also cyclists, don't cut off other cyclists. Ever. Whether it's out of selfish convenience or to prove something, don't do it. Pass safely and ride defensively.

Wait. Neoliberalism is literally a set of fiscal practices that that online folks refer to as late-stage capitalism. They're practically identical in meaning. Without neoliberal policy, the phrase "late-stage capitalism" likely never gets coined.

Their news room has been this way for ages. They were the Bush administration's biggest supporter in the lead up to the Iraq War. They've been anti trans for years, they were all in on opposition to Bernie.

I guess you just hire one Paul Krugman for some opinion pieces and people assume you're not a right wing mouth piece

Activity Pub is much more flexible, the tradeoff being that it's more complex. ActivityPub is basically a flexible CRUD API specifically designed for social networking, with support for federation.

You could fulfill the purpose of RSS with ActivityPub. But, it doesn't supercede RSS/atom, because the simplicity is valuable for the cases those protocols handle.

Have you heard the good news about supply-side Jesus? Even though this exact rule explicitly benefitted massive companies in California for decades, the fact that it also benefits labor even a little means the capitalist class will react very badly.

Not precisely open world but has the same feeling of exploration, discovery and unlocking, Supraland. Harder puzzles, unlock things that make combat easier. Combat is pretty similar to botw.

Yeah. Memes are like the first step towards watching/reading/hearing lived experiences, which is the most effective way the understanding of these neurotypes grows.

Economist so often is just amoral false equivalence.
