7 years ago, Boris Nemtsov, the most popular of Russian oppo leaders, was gunned down on a Moscow bridge, the day before he was to lead a "march for peace" protesting Putin's first war in Ukraine. The impact of that murder echoes today...
In the aftermath of the murder, a troll at the shadowy Internet Research Agency, Lyudmila Savchuk, was ordered to churn out messages blaming the crime on "Ukrainian oligarchs." She refused. "I don't want to do their dirty work," she said, adding about Nemtsov's assassination...
"It was the moment I realized that they could kill anyone they could kill all of us." Savchuk turned whistleblower and reached out to a Russian investigative journalist, Andrei @soshnikoff, turning over internal emails & other docs documenting what the IRA was up to...

The Disregard of #InformedConsent and Echoes of Nuremberg Part 2 - “The Great Pivot” - Jab hesitancy is informed, literate, and sophisticated, but government agencies, officials, and politicos pushed false narratives - by @TraderStef 4 #CrushTheStreet #ADE crushthestreet.com/articles/break… Image
I am moving "The Great Pivot & Echoes of Nuremberg Part 2" #InformedConsent2 (the thread from @RWMaloneMD's gracious RT ) to my acct original here. Replies were breaking apart/not keeping continuity under his RT. Chronology is now intact. Apology for move. Image

@AlisonGeorge10 Thank U for speaking up for our children. Besides you and @dgurdasani1 there seems to be too few professionals willing to do this. It's mental torture for our children with #CEV family members to be thrust into a UK-wide version of #RussianRoulette in schools 1/
Every day, they are frightened to death, along with their families, that this might be the day, they bring the virus home that could kill Mum, or that they become sufferers of #LongCovidKids How is it ethical or even LEGAL to make our children's lives a living hell like this? 2/
Even if they are fortunate enough to dodge the bullet of SARS-COV2, the repercussions from being forced in to this terrifying situation every day alone, will have implications on their mental health for years, and that of their anxious families. 3/

Thanks to @DrAgilefant and friends, just got my hands on a thesis that shares some enlightening insights into how common and impactful estimation errors are #NoEstimates
I will be publishing more of what I read in this thread. ImageImage

In other words: even if you have data from "actuals", you don't really know if you will be late because the outliers are only visible too late and have a huge impact on delays

Kmart may have gone bankrupt (at least in part) due to a failed 1.4bn USD IT project.

#WeThePeople are in big, horrible and #YUGE trouble because of #BadPlanning. I want to tell you a story - a modern day #parable.

Two cattle rustlers working on an #InsideJob to steal veal, decided to test their newfound Sharps Buffalo Rifle.
#RanchoDeluxe
The young rustlers' Sharps 1874 Buffalo Rifle test worked just fine - dropping one of the wealthy land-owning rancher's grazing steer dead with a single bullet of such tremendous caliber - "it blowed a hole in him you that could throw a cat through."
However, the folly of the rife-testing young and impatient American cattle rustlers became immediately apparent when a hair-raising #helicopter versus #car chase exciting ensued.

1/ @Microsoft, we deserve better, and you can do better. Taking Windows Updates shouldn't feel like we're playing "Russian Roulette" with our computers. #windows10 @satyanadella #windowsupdate #russianroulette Image
2/ And by "we" I mean that millions upon millions of average consumers using -- or trying to use -- Windows 10 today. Big businesses appear to have your ear, but it's the lowly home and small biz user that I hear from.
3/ They feel unheard, and uncared for in your priorities. I know that's not the case, but @Microsoft, they deserve better ... much better ... than the what Windows releases and updates are turning out to be.
