Without interrogating this guy's moral or professional beliefs, there is approx 0% chance you post this to LinkedIn without proactively communicating with sympathetic outlets? You would have to be *dumb* to not understand this is career limiting at McKinsey and they famously filter for that?

Airlines should allow you to jump out of the plane when you fly over your house so you don't need to take a cab home.

It's weird an offhand 30 Rock line: 'You tell GE lightbulb man I want Sophie's Choice out of my suite' is a disturbingly accurate description of my career arc. (She originally came here to study engineering)

I appreciate how on a long enough timeline (currently <2 months), the number of working Matter devices on a network is always zero.

It doesn't seem like a coincidence that the woman who gave us "I Hate Myself for Loving You" is an Orioles fan.

SF supe candidates shouting out Subway Builder concepts like a Divisadero underground from the Marina to Bayshore with zero economic analysis is not what public transit boosters are made of. Ok bud, what's the estimated cost for the track that connects low density Marina to Geary under Pac Heights?

It's crazy what you can do with a bit of paint and the political will to make change. Put 60ft articulated buses on a BRT line with good headways and you've basically got light rail capacity at a fraction of the hard costs.

the Alonso signing was great, but it hits way different when you give a long term extension to a player already beloved by the hometown fans. Dan understood that and got it done.

I was also told it was not possible to test for HPV in men a decade ago when I asked about getting the HPV vaccine. I said then that sounded like a great reason to regularly vaccinate men. Glad to see progress on this but I feel like we could have been here sooner.

As a former hardware engineer, I'd be a little irritated having to recall a product because folks were using wood screws to attach something to a threaded brass insert. I wonder if changing the insert to stainless is enough. Customers are amazing.
WARNING: Do not assemble or install the Solar Cam Pan until further notice. We’ve self-reported a safety issue with this product to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (“CPSC”). We will work with the CPSC to develop corrected written and app instructions for setting up the Solar Cam Pan as part of a thorough Consumer Product Safety Commission review of the product. We are shutting down the option to set up the Solar Cam Pan in the Wyze app.

We’ve received reports of the long wood screws being used to attach the solar panel to the camera instead of the short machine screws. When used in that location, the wood screws may breach the brass protective inserts, damage the internal battery, and create a safety risk.

Here we go, I had it saved on my phone. Again, you can tell Lincoln is a genius because if I was ever asked to edit something as good as the Seward copy I would just send it back with a "yeah, looks good man, thanks for making the first pass at this" in red ink.
Side-by-side comparison of Seward's draft of the First Inaugural and its final text.

Seward:

I close.
We are not, we must not
be, aliens or enemies, but
fellow-countrymen and
brethren.
Although passion has
strained our bonds of
affection too hardly, they
must not, I am sure they
will not, be broken.
The mystic chords which,
proceeding from so many
battle-fields and so many
patriot graves, pass
through all the hearts and
all the hearths in this
broad continent of ours,
will yet harmonize in their
ancient music when
breathed upon by the
guardian angels of the
nation.

Lincoln:

I am loth to close.
We are not enemies, but
friends. We must not be
enemies.
Though passion may have
strained, it must not
break our bonds of
affection.
The mystic chords of
memory, stretching from
every battlefield and
patriot grave, to every
living heart and
hearthstone, all over this
broad land, will yet swell
the chorus of the Union,
when again touched, as
surely they will be, by the
better angels of our
nature.
