What is the Precautionary Principle?
Simply Put – Better Safe than Sorry

While the roots of the Precautionary Principle are grounded in Environmental legislation, ranging from international conventions to Federal, Provincial & Territorial laws its application has been met with constant resistance.

NEW: Lotta articles dropping today about Elon Musk & Twitter, and none of it is good.

A long-term fix doesn’t just involve getting Twitter’s costs under control. It has to involve making Twitter a better place for most people to spend time.

Twitter’s expenses have definitely gone down. That happens when a company lays off half its workers, watches more resign, and then simply doesn’t pay severance to many of them.
#elonmusk #elonQ
Though it created the most obvious immediate problems, I don’t think Musk’s redpilling will be the thing that destroys Twitter’s advertising business. Musk apparently loves being friends with right-wing Twitter users and trolls, and he has unbanned some of them.

I FAILED AND IT SUCKS

Last week, I failed at something so monumental that it knocked me off my life axis. All my future plans and dreams went out of the window temporarily.

#Failure #Thread
I failed at something I prepared for, for several months. I haven't done that volume of work in a while. Incredible goodwill and equity were deployed. And I prayed for so long and believed I had clarity of direction.
When I got the rejection email, I went into instant denial, disbelieving what I read. And then, I experienced instant diarrhea and headache. Interestingly, on the same day I had an important team meeting. So I needed to drag myself out of bed, even though I just wanted to weep.

A very interesting word in #Hindu #Philosophy.
Vairagya is not #Sanyas, which calls for renunciation and distancing. Sanyas is a choice. Vairagya is a state of mind.
Vairagya connects people

#happiness #success #failure #hinduphilosophy #goals #subgoal #goal #goalsetting
with that one goal of every individual, which is to be #happy. As simple as that. Every individual breaks this goal into sub-goals based on their own perceptions. Good school, good learning, good grades, good college, good job, good money, good partner & suchlike...summarized

as a good life.

Vairagya doesn't come in the way of the goals, whatever we choose for ourselves. It only never allows one to forget that the larger goal is happiness. The subgoals are NOT the main goals. Under this thought process, words like #success and #failure lose...

New in Hardcore Software—094. First Public Windows 7 Demo
“I’m superenthused about what it [Windows 7] will do in lots of ways.” — Bill Gates April 2008 // 18 months since Vista, what was it like to do the first demo? Stressful! 1/ …rdcoresoftware.learningbyshipping.com/p/094-first-pu…
2/ We (and I) had been very quiet. The Microsoft press called this the “Sinofsky omertà” (🙄) but really it was just a desire to “promise and deliver”. We had caused so much pain/cost/damage to the ecosystem by failing that. Still, press had fun with me and was losing patience. Uncle Sam poster but with my face. “I WANT YOU FOR WINDOWS
3/ We had plans and timing around the professional developer conference that would come in the Fall of 2008. Then least expected, Bill Gates himself leaked what many thought of as a release date when he mentioned Windows would arrive “sometime in the next year or so.”

As a member of @ScienceAU, Victoria's Science Society supports the #research sector's ten pledges, seeking commitments from candidates for the Australian Federal #Election2022. Let's run through them all, shall we? #auspol #ausvotes #AusVotes2022
Let's punch *at* our weight in #research funding, at least. It's a matter of investing in our brainpower as a resource for other sectors to draw on, & sustain tertiary #education as one of major exports. #auspol #ausvotes #AusVotes2022
We argue #research #translation is about "bench to #community" - #industry is a big part of that. Public funding established a world class research sector, but the private sector is where we need to build capacity to benefit from that resource. #auspol #ausvotes #AusVotes2022

Hopefully everyone had a good first Monday of 2022!

A lot of us have some (hefty) New Year’s resolutions that we’re kicking off today. And as many of us know, they’re not always the easiest to follow through with... 😬
This year, rather than giving up if you slip up once (missing one gym session, one day of journaling, etc.), be kind to yourself. Forgive yourself, and carry on.

Messing up is a part of success. No one is perfect in pursuit of their goals.
“Failure,” in reality, is not failing at all. It means you are pushing yourself past your normal limits, improving, and making progress in pursuit of your goals. In other words, if you aren’t failing, you aren’t working on your resolution.

How to get rich

What's the best business book ever written? Probably "How to get rich" by #FelixDennis, a billionaire who picked this cheesy title as a joke but dropped some real business wisdom. Here are 25 immensely valuable lessons from his book.
A thread 👇 🧵
On #makingexcuses: Most of the so-called "reasons" for not pursuing wealth are not reasons at all they are excuses. Pitiful alibis you have erected to spare yourself from the quiet terror of taking your own financial destiny in your hands and making your dreams concrete reality.
On #gettingstarted: There is no point in sitting around thinking about getting started. Commit now, or leave your dreams behind. Begin now or turn away.

1/210: Markus Kerber's Apollo 13

In March 2020, the German Ministry of the Interior @BMI_Bund issued a #strategypaper that weaponized fear in order to accomplish compliance with #COVID policies. The authors' emails were litigated under #FOIA request. My analysis. #MEGATHREAD ⬇️ Image
2/210: The @BMI_Bund emails have been released to the public as they were successfully sued by lawyer Niko Härting in a FOIA proceeding. They can be requested directly from @BMI_Bund/ @rki_de via @fragdenstaat. Download it here: bit.ly/3knoa6Y bit.ly/3Bd0rgj Image
3/210: The emails originated March 19-25, 2020. They are so explosive because they map the inner discourse of the @BMI_Bund's now infamous #COVID-19 taskforce, which produced several crucial domestic policy documents. bit.ly/2TT3R7O @OttoKolbl

As I was going through papers and packing while trying to find a place to live, I came across something that my Father wrote many years ago.

WHEN IT LOOKS LIKE I HAVE FAILED

'LORD, are you trying to tell me something?
For .. failure does not mean I'm a failure;
It does mean ... I have not yet succeeded.
Failure does not mean ...I have accomplished nothing;
It does mean ...I HAVE LEARNED SOMETHING.
Failure does not mean ... I have been a fool;
It does mean ... I HAD ENOUGH FAITH TO EXPERIMENT..
Failure does not mean ...I don't have it;
It does not mean I am inferior.
It does mean...I am not perfect.
Failure does not mean...I've waisted my time.
It does mean ... I HAVE AN EXCUSE TO START OVER.
Failure does not mean ...I should give up;

"I could be at risk for HF, but how am I to manage my days is still missing ... " "It's nice that there are categories, but how do you translate that to people who need to process it?" /3
@HeartLifeCanada @pumpinghearts @MarcBains @iamnickevans @ShelleyZieroth @dranulala @robmentz "You can go back and forth between stages" ... at least HF and Advanced HF.

The current age is one of SYSTEMISM or ‘faith in Systems’.

Below some reflections on the very fashionable #FoodSystems paradigm (based on Gall's great work 'Systemantics'), especially in view of the upcoming 2021 @UN @FoodSystems Summit.

There may be trouble ahead.
The prevailing view is one of the System-as-machine, whereby it would suffice to know & master a set of underlying mechanisms to understand, predict, & steer System’s behaviour & outcomes, in response to a Problem.
However, this utopian mindset has been criticized for the likely failure & damage it entails & the false sense of holistic management it seems to suggest. Frequently, Systems turn out to be an interventionist expression of high-modernist and reductionist top-down administration.

My takeaways from the best seller

It beautifully encapsulates , via chapters , the most under rated factor in investing - The Psychological aspect of it .

CHAPTER 1

What we experience early on (in our adult life) is more compelling than what we learn second hand, which is why each person thinks about #Risk & #Reward DIFFERENTLY.

In theory we SHOULD make our investments based on OUR goals & options available.
3/31

However we tend to include our unique experiences of how the world works (albeit with incomplete information) which might seem crazy to others .

* Spreadsheets cannot replicate human emotions which is why no amount of studying can make one truly UNDERSTAND the underlying.
