Readit NewsIt would be nice if laptop manufacturers standardized on a modular keyboard deck design, making it viable to do small-batch group buys of replacement decks with relatively esoteric layouts. This wouldn't cover every possible layout due to size constraints but it'd be a marked improvement.
But as someone with bad lungs...yeah, you only get one set and most meds/treatments are partial symptom relief at best.
Yesterday evening's peak demand was between 7-8pm at 30.7 gigawatts. Supply breakdown around 8pm:
Batteries: 8.4 GW
Natural gas: 6.0 GW
Renewables: 5.4 GW
Large hydro: 4.4 GW
Imports: 4.1 GW
Nuclear: 2.3 GW
The entire idea of measuring worker performance is not only dehumanizing but is particularly flawed when it comes to knowledge work.
It's like trying to determine the faster car by racing through rush hour traffic. Or ignoring the fact that each car is on a different incline.
Knowing the right people and being in the right place at the right time can often make or break one's career.
Yet we are to incorporate these factors that are for the most part not in our control as a measurement of our own "performance". The unlucky get insult added to injury. The lucky get a dose of ego or fear (depending on their level of self-awareness).
It seems like corporate gaslighting to me.
Maybe it’ll be better this way.
