They’ve just learnt it all from Vegas.

Paris is lovely, as long as you avoid the worst tourist areas. Seeing people queue in the middle of Champs-Élysées, between lanes of traffic, just to get that one pretend shot of the Arc de Triumphe is a special circle of hell.

So knowing that European consider Swiss people cold, imagine how cold they are.

They are stone cold to foreigners - so many English speaking wealthy people live there and they are not welcomed into the local communities. It can take a decade to make local Swiss friends.

I’m using a Sony ZV-1 in a SmallRig camera cage, attached to an HDMI capture device. It’s a step below a DSLR, also in price, but it makes a huge difference to the quality and I get frequent comments about the “AWMAHGAWD amazing set up you’ve got, look at how crisp it is!” when I join meetings. The lens is really open and it captures a lot of detail. By far the best compact/quality setup I’ve found.

“Sophisticated scripts to scour pirate sites”.

I think we’ve just found a new tagline for radarr and sonarr.

Tbf that’s a better explanation than any other I’ve heard.

But what if I don’t have an MEP? (Cries in British)

I mean you did claim Sweden was being occupied. Words do matter, you know. It’s how we understand what you believe.

Wow 🤣 I am not sure what happened there. Should have been PORK barrel politics.

I’m also intrigued. Clearly things are more exciting at NASA than I thought.

That might be true. But every organisation has to achieve its goals in the context that it exists. And to be fair to NASA they’ve realised it’s better to outsource development because it’s less prone to porn barrel politics.

Agile Coaches.

It’s like having a cadre of political officers in your team.

No they’re somehow managing to blow it neither launching nor exploding rockets.

I mean you can giggle at the turn of phrase, but clearly what is meant is to be more willing to tolerate risk. Very clearly that’s been a much shorter path to success than the one NASA took.

Yes it went so well with innovation from NASA’s existing practice.

Whenever I hear Salute by Little Mix, I bop along. How could you not?

Your pace of walking definitely has a huge impact on people’s impression of you.

It’s a workplace monitoring tool dressed up as a workplace wellness tool.

You know that table that shows the risk of employees who might burn out, given their meeting frequency, teams interactions, email rate, work hours etc.? If you flip the sorting order, you can measure who isn’t doing enough (by whatever metrics the employer decides).

Monitoring employees in this way is just the shittiest shit of all the shit. Surely they can assess output in a different way?

Agreed there is a mix of things Google can do to remain attractive. But at the core, Google has to be a better investment than something else to remain invested into.

Agreed you have to trust them. However, I suspect GDPR punishments keep them to their word.
