Sir Gavin Williamson resigns after bullying claims.
Wait. What?
The THIRD time he has lost his job since 2019?
If you use SetApp - you might have seen a new app called Hookmark. It’s the new name for Hooked. Nice.
Day 9: certain
Prediction. As you read this, even 2 or 3 days out … the outcome of the US Midterms will be far from certain.
I thought this be an interesting link for all those WordPress based micro bloggers.
Fedi.Tips- Do you have a WordPress blog? You can turn it into a Fediverse server 🐘
Day 8: consensus
It’s Tuesday the 8th November. Today of all days should be a day of consensus. Somehow I feel it just isn’t going to be like that.
Monday 7th 2022 16:56 - so even under normal circumstances I wouldn’t expect a reply until nearer the end of the week.
After a 50% staff layoff … well, let’s see
Still playing with ' Feedland By @Dave ' … and have just added a second account there using a spare twitter account.
It’s only job is to be a single place that aggregates all my RSS feeds into a single river.
🎥 War, 2007 - ★★★
It is what you might expect from a movie with Jason and Jet - and nothing wrong with that.
Who the hell knows any more ? Is it just me that’s lost?
“Nicheless saw thousands of new visitors and over 700 signups.”
And I am sure we are all picking up various comments about Mastodon’s growth of 100s of thousands.

Return On Effort
"This time he was here to help us understand some truths about how we really run the business, make decisions, and value what's worth doing. When I say value, I don't mean a list of generalized "values", or the bullshit phrase of "adding value", but how we attribute value when evaluating our options and making tradeoffs."

🚧 Coordination Costs
The Stripe co-founders were candid about their failure to predict where the economy was heading. They also said they overspent on things like “coordination costs.” That’s not a term I’ve heard before, but I suspect it is a reflection of getting too big and too inefficient.

It's a new term to me aswell - BUT recently on LinkedIN there was a meme running around - which used this graphic.
It's pretty self explanatory. The formula is that for every person you add to an organisation, the number of potential conversations increases - a lot. If 'n' is the number of people in an organisation, the number of potential conversations is n-1 + n-2 + n-3 .... in other words ...
3 people ... 2 + 1 = 3 4 people ... 3+2+1 = 6 5 people ... 4+3+2+1 = 10 6 people ... 5+4+3+2+1 = 15
And adding 1 person to a 10,000 person organisation adds 10,000 possible new lines of communication.
