Interestingly, the article is not about Star Sector.

The Guardian will be tuned out as noise by anyone who doesn't already agree.

"There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, Than are dreamt of in your philosophy."

Depends what you're going to the gym for. If it's just to lift weights, sure, reasonable safety precautions and you're good to go at home. If you're into martial arts, gyms are a hard requirement.

Amusingly we have a case study for this: the Shakers.

"They practice a celibate and communal lifestyle, pacifism, uniform charismatic worship, and their model of equality of the sexes, which they institutionalized in their society in the 1780s."

Needless to say there's only 2 left.

Absolutely, let me walk back my language so that its clear I'm extrapolating from very limited data.

Edit: I can't edit it anymore. Was going to change it to "Based on this limited insight, it may have been the best option for both parties to part ways given the project teams complaints and valves lack of interest in the product"

Important to note that Gabe gave the product rights that the fired team were developing. Said team went on to have a successful Kickstarter (250% successful!), and then failed in actually delivering results.

In hindsight, seems smart to pull the plug so far in advance.

I'm sure the complaints about informal power groups, careful politicking being required and gaurded groups are true... if only because that's true in every office I've worked in.

Counterpoint: Epigenetics is a thing, which is influenced by the parents life style.

>Other studies have looked at the effect of famine. When mothers were exposed to famine during pregnancy, as was the case in Holland in 1944 and 1945, their children had a higher incidence of obesity and coronary disease compared to mothers not exposed to famine. The higher risks were traced to reduced DNA methylation of a gene producing an insulin-like growth factor. Such epigenetic effects can be inherited over several generations. >Exposure of parents to cocaine may affect memory.

I can't find evidence of it, but it seems reasonable to extrapolate that long term life style choices will also affect epigenetics for the better.

Aha, thank you! I understand that as similar to what I tried to articular.

>PM's are good at figuring out the theta, and Engineers are good at the r.

I'm only familar with the options definition of theta and the reproductive strategy of r. Could you expand? Something like, PM's are good at long term (e.g. our product needs this feature, then this feature) and Engineers are good at fine detail (e.g. the feature should work like this)?

Halo Effect, baby.
