@markcatchlove And porters! I can just about remember them (though in a later decade than 1930s!). That was before someone invented suitcases with wheels.
Ian Goodfellow, Apple’s director of machine learning, is leaving the company due to its return to work policy. In a note to staff, he said “I believe strongly that more flexibility would have been the best policy for my team.” He was likely the company’s most cited ML expert.
@workessence Just 24 for me - but no Washington, Brussels, Guangdong (and several other major Chinese and European cities not on the list). I wonder how many more I can visit before age, infirmity and climate activism keep me from going further than Skegness and Cleethorpes?
Beautifully written and thought-provoking as usual from Andy Lake. The Emerging Social Infrastructure of Work and Why the Workplace Industry Needs to Think Outside its Ever-Shrinking Boxes https://t.co/QyoIqoXwob
Are we ready for home to be the new workplace?
@AndyLakeWriter thinks we aren't and it’s time for a new national conversation about the social infrastructure needed for 21st century working - https://t.co/uZwMiGRMgM #homeworking
@antonyslumbers Offices should be built with high ceilings and a metre of crawl space suspended below. No corridors. Using low wheeled platforms people can slide along under the ceiling, then drop through tube to assigned seat. Maglev and AI versions coming soon. #MakeOfficesGreatAgain!
@OwenJones84 Like most middle class professionals, I've been posting dusty ornaments to my cleaner to keep things ticking over. It's a joy for her when we box up the supper party clearing-up (still do these, via Zoom. Such fun!). Courier the lot over, helps the zero hours contract guys too!
@vincecable My goodness - New Economic Policy was a reluctant and temporary concession for Lenin. Deng's reforms nothing like NEP. Deng (in both 1950s and 1989) shared with Lenin a taste for violently repressing 'rightists', free speech and any signs of democracy.
@JamieGrierson Interesting developments. This and much of what is happening now is prefigured in my 2013 novel "Shades of Green" - what happens when a radical green movement comes to power in the UK. https://t.co/z92oO7wFpe
