Hey Ben, thanks for this! I especially appreciate the section on Slack norms; I've found that teams have a tendency to default to DMs without explicit, mindful management of channels, channel membership and expectation-setting.
One dynamic I've noticed: when team members get really into a conversation and it becomes a "centithread", it often benefits from outsider-nudging to remind folks that they'd be better off jumping in a call, and then summarizing the discussion.
Awesome, I'll be checking this out for sure. I recently began studying computer security; do you have any more recommendations?
I appreciate the initiative to send meta-sources rather than single pieces.
Added to my reading list, thanks!
Thanks Gunnar. Luke may not have linked his thread, because I did so in the OP.
Thanks, Luke. I'll be checking your physics recommendations out soon.
If you are often travelling over bridge by car, having a car-knife could be handy in case you go over. The device generally comes equipped with a seat belt cutter, pressurized hammer, and flashlight.
Some policy issues affected by media in democratic countries: Daniel Komo argues that people hear about trade policy (I imagine this is extensible to other kinds of policy) largely because oppositions have incentive to attack government trade initiatives. But because propagating information is expensive, often opponents will focus attacks on simpler, easier to explain policy decisions, rather then ones that are more complex, since efficient use of space is cheap. He concludes that democratic political competition may lead to what I might call a kind of "reverse" conjunction fallacy: simpler policy decision tend to get more prime-time, coverage, and critism than more complex decisions.
Awesome, thanks so much! If you were to recommend one of these resources to begin with, which would it be?
I definitely agree with this last point! I've been on the providing end of similar situations with people in cybersecurity education of all sorts of different technical backgrounds. I've noticed that both the tester and the "testee" (so to speak) tend to have a better and safer experience when the cards are compassionately laid out on the table at the end. It's even better when the tester is able to genuinely express gratitude toward the testee for having taught them something new, even unintentionally.
