Reminder: HR departments don’t approve performance raises to force turnover so they can stay busy hiring and onboarding. It’s always cheaper to just give the employee you already have the raise they requested, but they never do that because retention isn’t a KPI.

Telegram has launched a pretty intense campaign to malign Signal as insecure, with assistance from Elon Musk. The goal seems to be to get activists to switch away from encrypted Signal to mostly-unencrypted Telegram. I want to talk about this a bit. 1/

Josh Ellis on X: "Not everything good can make money. Very few good things, in fact, can show an infinitely increasing profit every quarter or year. In order to do that, you either make shitty products or you do shitty things to make em cheaper and sell em higher. And some things should be free." / X

More than 95% of all stories you read in the mass media start as a press release. I don't know if this is a dirty little secret of the media industry or widely known by people, but it's how it goes. Which is like this:— Nate Bear (@NateB_Panic) May 24, 2023

people were still buying music and the mp3 ecosystem that apple’s ipod marketing was driving millions of people to embrace was an incredible promo platform for indie stuff. everyone was going for it because success meant something: you could do 33k first week on warp. not anymore https://t.co/rE1pS46TP3— jaime brooks ☭ (@elite_gz) May 23, 2023

What happened with Dark Universe is so fascinating to me because we've never seen anything like it. This wasn't even the first attempt. Far from! Universal kept making monster reboots that were meant to start something. None of them ever did. Let's go over the history (thread) https://t.co/sW5Z1Z42t6— Nat Brehmer (@NatBrehmer) May 22, 2023

This Guardian piece has brought up a key problem with nature-based carbon credits, but the issue is so complex that most people glaze over trying to understand it, so I’m going to give a highly simplified explanation of the core issue here.https://t.co/ZOkPMxvIMS— Yishan (@yishan) January 24, 2023

My students are going through job interviews & folks are still being asked dumb brainteaser questions. Stop!🚩Google found brainteasers were in no way predictive of job performance🚩Worse: "Narcissism & sadism explained the likelihood of using brainteasers in an interview.” 1/ pic.twitter.com/ZK0zT3YMLW— Ethan Mollick (@emollick) November 28, 2022

(2/5) Today, I got to publish what I see as the big picture around that story. 🖼️ It's about an entire movement quietly taking off in tech & VC circles of people who believe it is their DUTY to fill the earth with their genius children... to save humanity.https://t.co/fty0lhW6f9— Julia Black (@mjnblack) November 17, 2022

Companies find it incredibly hard to reliably staff positions with hard-working generalists who operate autonomously and have high risk tolerances. This is not the modal employee, including at places which are justifiably proud of the skill/diligence/etc of their employees.
Startups are (by necessity) filled with generalists; big companies are filled with specialists. People underestimate how effective a generalist can be at things which are done by specialists. People underestimate how deep specialties can run. These are simultaneously true.
The hardest problem in B2C is distribution. The hardest problem in B2B is sales.
Your idea is not valuable, at all. All value is in the execution.
nobody serious will engage in contract review over an idea, and this will mark you as clueless.

From ad tweep who knows: The drop off is mostly self inflicted. First: The CRO [@SEP] walked out Friday. She's trusted by the marketing community. So, Elon goes to meet agency heads in NY. The Twitter exec who runs the US walked him in and is a trusted partner at these agencies. pic.twitter.com/GBAaQQiYKG— Kara Swisher (@karaswisher) November 4, 2022

There are plenty of ways to stand out as a junior engineer without taking a back seat. A few that worked for me:1. When you’re faced with an unfamiliar problem, break it down into smaller problems. You might even recognize pieces that you already know how to solve.— Holly Borla (@hollyborla) October 19, 2022

One thing I love about Abbott Elementary that I haven’t seen mentioned yet is the ethical, kind use of child performers on the show. I am an outlier who thinks kids should not act professionally, and on AE they barely do - they pretty much just act like regular kids— 1/5— Eliza Skinner (@elizaskinner) September 15, 2022

Huy Fong's Sriracha hit revenue of $150m+ a year...with no sales team, no trademark and $0 in ad spend. Its creator is Vietnamese-American David Tran, making the sauce's success a tale of immigrant hustle and a product that literally sells itself.
