Deutsche Post is about to let go of 8000.

To put that into perspective, PostNord only had 4,600 employees to begin with.

What about their vast fishing and shipping fleets?

I’ve biked to work in -15C. Get studded tires.

[ghaff → krn1p4n1c]

The vast majority of the population is simply not going to do that if they bike at all.

See what happens in other countries. Are they just tougher?

Money. Planting trees doesn’t pay like some absurd tech idea to vacuum it up and bond/compress it.

The question is increasingly becoming “where?”. Every place seems to be moving in this direction.

Not Ireland -- Ireland so far has been immune to any global veering to the right. There are efforts though -- just not successful.

Probably South American somewhere.

New Zealand.

They're seeing their own shift to the right as well. https://theasialive.com/how-progressive-new-zealand-shifted-...

They elected a right-wing government, but it's pretty run of the mill, not the kind of crazy we're seeing in US and many places in Europe lately.

On: Maria Montessori

This needs to be higher in the thread. The AMS/AMI accreditation makes a big difference in the quality of teaching.

On: Defenders think in lists, attackers think in graphs (2015)

[krn1p4n1c]

Attackers aren't hampered by organizational imperatives. They are free to find targets of opportunity and move between them as it suits them.

Defenders usually have to justify their work to management and balance "real" defense work with things that reduce liability. This ends up being a prioritized list.

I blame JIRA for giving the attackers an advantage.

At this time, a friend shall lose his friend’s hammer and the young shall not know where lieth the things possessed by their fathers that their fathers put there only just the night before around eight o’clock.

On: Mental Strength in Judo, Mental Strength in Life

[krn1p4n1c]

I enjoyed this read and have some of the same parallels in my judo and professional journey. I suffer the same issue with overthinking which kills my effectiveness in shiai/randori and probably professionally as well. My coaches are always yelling "inte tveka" (don't hesitate). Hesitation kills your momentum and creates feature creep (both physical and mental).
