As a manager, it is tempting to give advice to our employees, but like everything, there is a time and a place. Adapting the Cynefin model of @snowded , I have created a framework to understand when you should advise, teach, coach, or direct. https://t.co/byEWT5b9GG
@paulg@alexisohanian The illusion is thinking a name has value outside the thing it's attached to. "Reddit" was nothing until Reddit was something. Graham is a nightmare to spell and you haven't rebranded. Success makes the name not the other way around.
@MattPolProf In a way this is the only position he could take that makes his own position seem reasonable. His entire "Philosophy" of course to have a philosophy at all requires the exact opposite of what he claims. The Andreesen paradox...
@pmarca Steve Jobs doesn't appear to be saying he isn't introspective, but rather that he doesn't think about his role as part of the "family of American thinkers and inventors." Steve Jobs practiced Zen Buddhism, pretty sure he was introspective...
I worked with the Biden White House and DOJ to develop a policy on when can federal police shoot at a moving vehicle. DOJ adopted it in 2022, and as far as I know, it hasn't been repealed. Here's what it says:
"Firearms may not be discharged solely to disable moving vehicles. Specifically, firearms may not be discharged at a moving vehicle unless: (1) a person in the vehicle is threatening the officer or another person with deadly force by means other than the vehicle; or (2) the vehicle is operated in a manner that threatens to cause death or serious physical injury to the officer or others, and no other objectively reasonable means of defense appear to exist, which includes moving out of the path of the vehicle. Firearms may not be discharged from a moving vehicle except in exigent circumstances. In these situations, an officer must have an articulable reason for this use of deadly force."

Spoke on background with two attorneys who have defended officer involved shootings.
Both have always taken their cases to trial.
After reviewing the events today, both said if it were their client they’d advise:
-Seek a plea deal
-Be willing to plead guilty to a lesser crime or a lower sentence
-Accept anything that isn’t de jure LWOP (life with out parole)
In other words, the guys who defend police officers shooting for a living, think this case is unwinnable.
They would try to defend his actions, they’d just try and lower the impact of the outcome.
Their main sticking point were:
-“I could argue shot number one and hope for an acquittal or a hung jury - but I can’t get there on shots 2 and 3”
-“A jury will not get passed the turning of the wheels”
-“Denying medics throws self defense out the window”
@normonics Luke 14:12-14 implies that, since you can't help everyone (invite to a feast in the parable), support should be given to those who have the greatest need—those with the least, who can provide you with nothing in return.
The murder of Charlie Kirk was a moral travesty.
We can recognize that without ignoring that he repeatedly fanned the flames of political violence himself. https://t.co/iMYoeu4Imr
@normonics Are you saying it is impossible to be loyal to someone who isn't loyal back? Or that such unidirectional cases will eventually erode the loyalty that exists?
People who claim to be good Christians while extracting as much from others as possible often fail to see that what they see as making themselves good is really what allows them to do unethical things.
A lot of centrists out there who'll speculate about sci-fi futures where we colonize Mars and live for centuries, but who'll also describe free buses and cheap public grocery stories as fantastically utopian.
In his latest book, right-wing provocateur Jordan Peterson looks to extract existential and political lessons from the Old Testament. Far from probing deep truths, it’s a shallow, self-serving exercise in culture war.

The Democratic party is not the party of the far left. (That would be @CornelWest and Claudia De La Cruz) Harris is not supported by many on the far left (although some will still vote for her). Meanwhile the Republicans have embraced the far right.
