Kudos to whoever asked this question of ⁦@QueryNews⁩
I just realized The Query is a lot like a press conference
(But online and anyone can ask questions and we have to figure out a good model for answering)

There should be a debate format where the entire 2 hours is focused on a single issue (e.g. healthcare).

Honestly this would educate the electorate and go beyond platitudes more than any other media coverage could.
Also the candidates should be allowed a laptop, with a line to their staff doing research in real time.

I want the best of their thinking!
There would be so much more real back-and-forth on policy if the debate was structured this way. Can’t retreat to pre-rehearsed talking points in a 2h debate on one topic

I gotta say, working on @QueryNews, and reading the news 100x more deeply, is radicalizing me.
I'm not being radicalized in the sense that I'm for more extreme policies.

I'm being radicalized in the sense that I'm extremely, deeply motivated to change the policies we have to something non-horrible.
I can hear my old self saying "but the news is made to spark outrage for pageviews! don't fall for it!"

But I'm doing more work than ever to learn the actual details of what is going on, rather than skimming the surface as before, and it's making me incredibly angry.

Microsoft banned Slack.
Is this typical?
Update: apparently the original @geekwire story is misleading.

1) The ban happened awhile back but the headline makes it seem as if it just happened
geekwire.com/2019/no-slack-…
2) LinkedIn (owned by Microsoft) and potentially other parts of the company actively use the enterprise version of Slack, which is not banned

matt drops shiro off at a fancy hotel on the night of the 27th with a keycard and a room number for all explanation.
"have fun" he says with a wink, and shiro's instantly wary. "happy birthday, bud"
and with that and a pat to shiro's back, he's gone.
matt is already a force to be reckoned with at all times.
on special occasions such as christmas or, as is the case, birthdays, he's downright terrifying. shiro's had enough experience with his antics by now to know that he should absolutely fear the consequences of matt's ideas.
it's not that shiro isn't just as big an idiot, but he's more a bad puns and dorky humor kind of idiot.
matt is the crazy, reckless friend with all the wild, questionable ideas and a best man complex the size of the goddamn moon,

Congratulations to everyone who made it to the semi finals of the 2019 Mandela Washington Fellowship program.

NA became Subpostmaster (SPMR) in the Charlton (?) branch from 2006 to 2009. Worked there for just over 2 years.
David Cavender QC is cross-examining for the PO. I will call him QC for the purposes and Naushad is going to be NA.

1/ Quick thought about teaching activities in the free agent world by analogy to academia.

In academia most faculty enjoy teaching graduate courses and PhD seminars, but only a few enjoy teaching major undergrad “service” courses (like say Stats 101 or English 101).
2/ Why? Because grad+ courses massively benefit the teacher’s research. I designed and taught one such as a postdoc at Cornell back in 2006, and learned far more than I ever did as a student.

Undergrad service courses otoh, mainly teach logistics/presentation/packaging skills
3/ It’s the enterprise/consumer difference: bespoke teaching relationships with 5-10 adults versus, mass-produced ones with 50 or 500 (let’s face it) kids.

I never taught UG courses but I TA’ed many large UG classes. I did learn a lot, but not things I was *looking* to learn.
