"You're using it wrong" if a user cannot use a tool intuitively, the tool is not fit for purpose.

But there's nothing in the article to suggest that these events actually affected the entire world. Most of the analysis seems to have been carried out in the northern hemisphere. If one of these events happened, perhaps it'd affect only one hemisphere or we'd have portions of the world unaffected or partially unaffected and able to provide assistance.

I recommend as well the comic The Thrilling Adventures of Lovelace and Babbage: The (mostly) true story of the first computer: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Thrilling-Adventures-Lovelace-Babba...

Very funny read with great art.

+1, really enjoyed that book. I had recently read the Illuminatus! trilogy and was really amused to find the hacker named himself after one of the characters from the books.

An old profesor of mine who used to review computer science books as a side gig told me he never bothered to read them, all he needed to do was check the contents page to see if they were good or not. I've been applying that method for figuring out whether a non fiction book is good or not and it works like a charm.if the contents are in a weird order or there isn't the right amount of specificity in the contents its prob not good. Also don't commit to reading any big non fiction books without checking Wikipedia and doing some 30 min research on the topic first. Easier to spot the bs that way

And the kidnapping charge?

Your initial post didn't seem like a question as someone who doesn't live in the US, it seemed to me more like an accusation.

As someone from south america living in the EU it seems to me fairly strange that it's not immediately apparent that the sort of violence depicted from the police is completely unwarranted - I've seen police raids in both south america and in the EU, and this level of going in fully armed with military-grade gear is only reserved for the most extreme of cases and /always/ supported by a court order. There's no argument whatsoever in that search warrants with no body of evidence should involve SWAT-team levels of response, which clearly was not the case as there's enough evidence to go around that the search warrant is literally a piece of paper that anyone can invent without need to provide supporting evidence for their claims.

What is this article? I don't understand if this is tongue-in-cheek or if there really is something as tone-deaf as this. Regardless, the cut is expected at this point.

Fully agree with this. As a south american woman working in a multi-cultural company, I have a very direct and passionate way of speaking, which tends to mean I can easily dominate conversations and "intimidate" a lot of my co-workers from other countries.

That's why I try to be mindful of this; there's dozens of tools one can use to have effective communication. Begging the question, starting with a negative assumption, playing devil's advocate, etc. The key to good comms is a) have empathy for the person you're speaking to, and b) assume they're just as competent and well-intentioned as you are.

I'm really good at time management.

Outside of work I love reading history, working out, I paint and write and do swordfighting and reenactment, which means i need to make a lot of stuff (learn leatherwork, clothes making, and do research!)

I try to be efficient with my time. I don't particularly enjoy watching TV or movies so that helps. A typical day for me is catching up on a history book while commuting, working, then gym for hour and a half (I use this time to listen to podcasts on history or art or whatever I feel like learning), then commute and reading, get home and do some cooking, and work on my art projects/writings until I'm sleepy. On the weekends I do swordfighting and then work on whatever project I need to get done before summer reenactment events happen.

But the key to all this is to do what I genuinely enjoy doing. I don't read because I want to be smarter than some voice in my head, I do it because I genuinely enjoy learning. I don't work out 5 times a week because that's what fitbros tell me to do, I do it because it relaxes me. I don't force myself to be "productive", I just do what I want to do and feel like doing and call that productivity.

Edit: one last thing to mention is that being constant matters more than investing significant chunks of time on it. People who believe you "need to choose" just can't keep a proper routine in my opinion.
