SCOOP: I obtained a spreadsheet used by Google's union busting firm to try to prevent hospital workers from unionizing. Workers are rated and then described as "lazy," "m...
This point from @veenadubal about why Google relies so heavily on contractors is particularly important. “We can understand Google’s use of temporary workers as part of their effort to avoid unionism. It’s an effort to divide workers." theverge.com/2021/1/5/22215…
The Alphabet Workers Union is a big step forward for organizing in Silicon Valley. Here's what we know right now about the union and its goals. Thanks to @veenadubal, @lizthegrey, @mer__edith & @AlphabetWorkers for walking me through!

Roaring 20s? Seeing another prediction. I'm having some difficulties envisioning this for anybody than the, say, top-10% of the population in countries such as the US. Family balance sheets are wiped out across the board. How can you roar? reb00ted.org/quick-notes/20…

Why write ruby2js.com instead of just JS? Because set_timeout 500 do self.update_status :done end looks better to me than: setTimeout(() => { this.updateStatus("done") }, 500) Developer ergonomics matter.
It's pretty amazing being able to go from an idea in your head to a finished product in just a day.

I've been spending some time learning 3D modeling and 3D printing and designed this modular stackable rack for these #BlackmagicDesign converter boxes.

I've really been enjoying using the 3D modeling software on my iPad to take advantage of the finger gestures for navigation and the Apple Pencil for the actual modeling. It's worked surprisingly better than I was expecting it to, probably because the last time I used any 3D modeling software was like 20 years ago.

Each shelf in the rack is its own piece, so you can stack as many as you want. The top shelf is a special print for the top cover to fit into. The base is slanted 9 degrees so that when this is set on top of my device in the rack mount the stack stands up straight.

I was thinking about doing a short story on this topic. There is the new "perfect" distributed system but turns out you can tweak people and movements regardless of software. Techno-thriller from there...the "utopia" media gets manipulated to create… quickthoughts.jgregorymcverry.com/2021/01/05/i-w…
Losing Norma is so very sad, and I cannot even imagine what it’s going to be like to tell the kids.
Lacey was texting Miss Norma last month, thinking of planning a virtual cake baking party with Colette, who has taken a keen interest in baking. Miss Norma made the most wonderful cookies, and started a business as a baker. Last Christmas, she made us the cutest cookies.
We just learned this evening that a beloved caregiver for our children, Miss Norma, died of COVID-19 in December. I’m wrecked. She was the best, and we all loved her so much. She was recently married with a baby daughter. I hate this virus. Please, please, please do your part.

My childhood cat Sunny pulled this same trick on a slice of ham one Christmas. We called him "Periscope Paw" after that.
UX Pattern Talk: I really like the temporary “toast” notifications that show up in the top-center of the window and then roll up after a moment. Seems like a pattern that’s used a lot all over the place now both in web and native apps (including here in the Twitter app).

Just started watching the movie. It's great to hear commentary from @CamConnorNHL. Just got to the scene where the Hanson brothers are introduced.
Excited for our latest episode where I watch and give my opinion on the movie Slap Shot. I share lots of stories from that era & talk about watching the movie with Gordie...
