By assuming that technical talent is fungible and interchangeable, a previously-successful engineering company will be run into the ground...
...along with a few of its own products and everyone on board.

It's astonishing how certain types of managers will prefer less-talented-but-more-controlable scientists and engineers over more brilliant and creative ones who may be more difficult to control, somewhat unpredictable, and sometimes annoying.

Here is the thing: scientific and technical breakthroughs are unpredictable by management, and progress often comes from folks with unconventional personalities and backgrounds.

As I was told by my management at Bell Labs: "You don't have to be crazy to work here, but it helps" 😄

[Thread] I analysed around 13,000 retweets of Boris Johnson's tweet that read "The referendum result must be respected. We will leave the EU on 31st October. #LeaveOct31". He tweeted this twice, once on 15th Aug and again on 27th. The following is what I found: #StopTheCoup

Reagan's last presidential speech paid tribute to immigrants: "We lead the world because, unique among nations, we draw our people-our strength-from every country and every corner of the world. And by doing so we continuously renew and enrich our nation."

What the fresh hell. This is REAL. Filmed in 1958- about a conman who grifts a small town of suckers into building a wall. History not subtle enough for you? GUESS THE GRIFTER'S NAME

This is why people like @LiamFox are wrong and it isn't impolite to protest against Trump. On the contrary, it's essential. https://t.co/JVq1GGM6mm
