He will do half of what he said he would and say that is proof he was joking.

In Satya Nadella's Hit Refresh, he says that "growth mindset" is how he describes Microsoft's emerging culture, and that "it's about every individual, every one of us having that attitude — that mindset — of being able to overcome any constraint, stand up to any challenge, making it possible for us to grow and, thereby, for the company to grow."

Strikes me as a poorly plagiarized Toyota Kata. Toyota Kata promises your org will be maximally adaptive but it sounds like Satya wanted to one-up that with "overcome any constraints". Toyota emphasizes iterative improvements as way a to build up systems knowledge, but Satya seems to take an essentialist read on the matter to say it's a "mindset", like improvement is an ingredient instead of a process.

Lots of people foolishly think political parties can learn lessons.

An alternative phrase to disabled I like is "less exploitable".

I imagine the capitalist saying: Sorry, I can't exploit your labor as much as the other. You may starve now.

Yeah, translating "size of their contribution" to a dollar amount is going to be inherently political. If they're leaving it open ended to let projects figure it out then that could go poorly...

Reading their solutions is interesting; wanted to call out the following because it plays nice if you don't agree with their whole prescription:

Don’t dilute the Open Source brand. Post-Open will never call itself Open Source, because it has different rules. The Post Open license actually enforces that.

I swear they looked at Bill Gates failing to launch SMRs and thought: "he's a smart guy"

She had so many chances to make this election easier. Could have had a Palestinian talk during the DNC, and that would have likely changed this story.
