Shout out to this ancient PC, sitting under a "DATENSCHUTZ" sign at the Zollamt (customs office), where you don't have to show ID to retrieve yr item but you do need printed proof of purchase, so every rando in Berlin has logged into their gmail in a public Chrome window. 😎💛u🇩🇪

THANK YOU @Intentionaut for saying the quiet part out loud: “facilitation is undervalued because it is femme-coded.” This hits so hard and resonates so deeply. #mtpcon


I love this account so much

In this organisation, women's median hourly pay is 22.3% lower than men's.

The trick for Google is to leverage its market power, browser dominance, search dominance, operating system dominance and adtech buying/selling dominance to invent a new way to track users and then label it “privacy” in the interests of web. Much better position than Facebook.

Experiments are often just repaying the debt created by sloppy research. Few understand this.


🤩Thread and linked paper are just fantastically cathartic, after 3 years of trying to teach people product experimentation. 👏 Stop 👏wasting 👏 time 👏 on 👏 micro-optimization 👏

Our analysis shows that in our data, hypothesis tests conducted with alpha=0.05 yield an FDR of 18%-25%. Much higher than 5%. That is, about 20% of significant effects chosen for implementation will not generate the business impact that was observed in the experiment. >>

My ancestry: 1/4 dark blue, 2/4 light blue, 1/8 light green, 1/8 yellow-orange. Grew up in brown with a sunglasses dependency and low level cognitive dissonance about not feeling "at home". Now live in light blue/green border and am more "at home" than I've ever been. Huh.

If humans right now can’t even adjust to life in a pandemic wait til they get a load of this. #ThwaitesGlacier

What scientists are projecting will happen to the Thwaites Glacier in the next three to five years should be front page news everywhere today. Short thread.

When multiple people discuss the same decision in separate groups of 2-3, the decision gets made & unmade multiple times. It is almost always better to have the bigger group meeting & make the decision once.

Every time I hear: "This 2h meeting of 20 senior people is really expensive" I wonder who is asking about: "This quarter with dozens of engineers stuck waiting for each other with high WIP levels, constant task switching and needles rework that must cost a fortune"


extremely relatable

imagine getting offered your dream job and then finding out they use micros*ft teams

I'm going to go read the rest of unsealed complaint. Here is a tease into an area which boils my blood. How various forums facilitate Google controlling and influencing the industry - in this case undermining consumer privacy - which has economic impact on the rest of market. /15

Performance marketing is a casino

A gag order on its lower fees which absolutely impact how auction dynamics work. When I always have called Facebook and Google a duopoly, it was my hope people would understand the two companies were taking most growth and a deal like this plays into it. /11

Anyone who says “HTML isn’t a programming language” has to accept their own implication that markup syntax is for direct human consumption. They should only be allowed to read the source of websites, not the rendered pages.
