Been working on a unifying theory for @ifbookspod.bsky.social

No need to thank me, I will simply accept a guest spot if they ever talk about Simon Sinek

IDEA: instead of T-shirt sizing, we should do spell slot sizing. As the team grows, you level up and get more spell slots.

Then you have a spell slot budget for a certain period of time until you retro, at which point you get them all back.

Small bug fix? level 1
Major feature? level 4

“If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world.”

It makes me so mad to see Tolkien co-opted.

Would love to see a similar system in HI- tourist/local/native pricing pls
only coloniser minds are offended by host country/culture prioritising themselves over outsiders.

also how do you translate kamaaina into japanese?

Google has never been capable of running a safe app store for Android, so why would you think Chrome would be any different?: Researcher uncovers dozens of sketchy Chrome extensions with 4 million installs

Even weirder: Why would Google give so many the “Featured” stamp for trustworthiness?

GenAI verbiage tells:
- "crucial"
- overabundance of [noun] is [adjective], especially at the end of sentences
- clauses that are technically grammatically correct but when you read it carefully, don't make much sense
- "in today's [adjective] world ... "

Ojichan trading cards were designed to connect youth to the aging population... this is too amazing! How many more problems can we solve with shiny cardboard 🤔

When I was a kid, we couldn’t afford Sailor Moon dolls so I made my own with popsicle sticks and drawings. When there’s a weeb, there’s a way!

As a cybersecurity professional it blows my mind they are not seeing the real problem of using THE WRONG APP. SIPRnet and JWICS exist inside secure comms for the government.

The issue is an IAM one which is mitigated by using the right app.

Signal is a consumer app it’s still secure but has no IAM

I’m speaking at a democracy conference this morning and my subject is “Having Positive Discussions on Challenging Topics”

You might think my many years in human rights are how I learned these techniques, but only until I tell you I raised 5 teenagers.

Travel mishap: my audiobook playing loudly without me realizing while waiting to get off the plane. Other passengers pointed it out to me…

It was Blood of Elves (one of the Witcher series) … luckily only a slightly impolite section 🥲

Here's a quick primer on understanding how Google's globally distributed authorization system scales to millions of requests per second

Hint: It involves relationships, and caching.

A LOT of caching.
