I was 35 when I took over a team of 11 people. Most of them are younger, but a few were older.
It really depends on the people, so your key going forward will be paying attention, making time to talk to them, and following through on whatever you say...so be careful with what you say. It's okay to not know and have to follow back up.
Time management has been my biggest struggle. Doing the daily job plus having the time and energy to actually manage (by setting expectations, following up, etc.) can be exhausting. One thing at a time - try not to counteract this issue by doing 30 things at once. That's an easy way to lose track of something.
The grand jury system is generally a joke. It's just a smoke screen for prosecutorial discretion. The DA can present whatever they want (and leave out whatever they don't want) and there's no due process to the defendant since they haven't actually been indicted at that point.
That said, I hope every grand jury and regular jury viewing evidence against trump does their individual responsibility and throws the book at him.
Centralized vs decentralized is a structural decision.
Censorship is what can be done within that structure. Centralized censorship means one group is able to block content, whereas decentralized "censorship" means that you can go to another platform with little to no fuss.
I use quotations because censorship is when you censor someone and stop their message from being seen, which you cannot do in federation. No one is required to megaphone info or opinions they don't want to share, so it's not really censorship to block content on your own instance.
Look at historical examples like the Serene Republic of Venice.
Basically you have an oligopoly that controls the levers of power and elects one of their own to be the leader.
Also read up on selectorate theory. There's a good book called The Dictator's Handbook that goes into detail, and for a shorter way to consume this info you can watch the YouTube video Rules for Rulers which is based on the same book.
All governments are nested resources distribution streams. Resources flow up to the decision maker, which then distributes resources back down the chain to buy loyalty to maintain power. Regimes change when one side or the other experiences a major disruption.
So, protip: at the beginning of your shift, notate the number of voicemails and notify your boss. Clear out the voicemails correctly. Notify your boss.
Keep track of the time stamps from the VM envelopes. This will help your boss identify who isn't doing their work, and is a "gentle" prompt. It may not happen immediately, but eventually there will be a bulk of data showing that it's particular people on particular shifts.
Doesn't help you to raise a fuss about it, but if you handle it and create documentation around it, it will either get resolved or you will be more justified in a decision to look for a new job. Or to ask for a raise/apply for a promotion/whatever.
I consider a lot of factors: is anything major happening today? Do I think I'm potentially contagious or just feeling bad? Is anyone else going to be out already?
I rarely call out. But trust yourself. If you need to and want to be there, go. If you've got the time and the justification, and you don't need any want to be there call out.
Yes. They had to reverse that because they fucked it up so bad. This seems like the follow up to that - they couldn't block people from accessing their data without making it worthless, so now they're going to harass anyone getting their data without paying through the nose for it, even though it has to be publicly available to be useful, in hopes that it will force idiots to pay in.
He borrowed 44 bn to buy Twitter and has a 1.5 bn payment coming up.
He is of course more liquid than any of us, but the fact that he keeps not paying various bills seems to indicate that he's having cash flow problems and is having to scrounge for his loan payment.
This is just one of many multi million dollar payments that musk and/or Twitter are fighting.
This has been my reaction when anti abortion activists say things like, "What if Einstein was aborted??"
Cool hypothetical. We know for a fact that millions of people waste their potential because of the color of their skin, their caste, their access to education, preventable disease, etc.
I mean, anyone with a vague sense of his trajectory can see what he'll do when he finally realizes he has no options. He's ramping up rhetoric like this to rile up the unstable people in his base. It's stochastic terrorism. He probably knows that another jan6 is unlikely, so he's hoping someone will do something crazy to pull attention off of him.
This isn't specific to Russia. There was a story when Strava was first getting big about off map and secure military installations in the US being visible from the guard patrol routes.
Facts though. Capitalism didn't create money. Their one big claim to fame is paywalling money and then everything else and then acting like they came up with the idea for food, water, and shelter.
Random internet search says it takes 1000-1250 foot pounds of torque to break a neck.
A 200 pound person only has to fall 5 feet to make that happen. When you factor in the additional speed, the less controlled angles, and probably drinking, it's shocking the number of deaths isn't higher.
