For me, it has been easier to have uninterrupted focus time when I know that "in X minutes, I can address that notification." Without the preset breaks, a notification begged to be looked at because when else might it get addressed?

Actually speaking with people at Amazon, teams are accepting internal transfers. External hiring is frozen.

I'm not convinced proof-of-stake means less equity. PoW is very capex intensive between hardware and energy. Especially during a time when energy prices are soaring, the big players have access to extremely cheap electricity that keeps them profitable, while the small players shut down.

The phrase "giving a shit doesn't scale" makes as much sense to me as "honesty doesn't scale." It's not a question of scaling it out, its just a question of how you operate. Do you care? Are you honest? Do you have integrity? You should be able to do these things at any scale.

The average of 23 and 21 is indeed 22.

There are a few things that I think would be really interesting to do with this data:

1. Provide a different scoring mechanism. Number of guesses is a bit simplistic. I'd like to see something where blank squares are 2 points, yellow are 1 point, and green is 0. Then a total score could be computed across all guesses, with the goal being the least number of points. It would incentivize "hard mode" I think.

2. Provide a difficulty rating of the daily word based on average number of guesses

3. Given a "spoiler free" answer, make a game out of guessing what the original player guessed.

Two things I've wanted to explore with Wordle:

1. Some sense of "par". Can you crawl twitter for everyone's solution tweets and get a sense of the average guesses for the day? 2. "Unwordle". For people who follow the hard-mode rules, how far can you get deciphering their guesses based on their shared color grid? Could you make it competitive between friends to see how well you can guess each others guesses? Would that encourage more creative guesses to trick your friends?

Carfree Cities is a book (and website) that I've really enjoyed and explores the concept of how to design car free cities http://carfree.com.

It approaches the problem from several levels. From how you lay out a city to accommodate mass transit, to street layouts that make living more enjoyable.

I once called a repairman to look at my dishwasher because it was stuck repeating the wash cycle over and over. He power cycled my dishwasher and the problem was fixed.

Get a job or internship at the right company. I work for a hardware startup and recently spent two weeks overseas at our manufacturing facility along with two of our interns. The opportunities are out there if you're looking for them.

This leaves me wondering how you might a site like SO that incentivizes participation and quality answers, but disincentivizes poaching and incomplete first answers.

Could you build an incentive strategy and reputation system around collaborative answers?

I do not think the purpose of "gendered expectations" is to say that all "white males" behave this way and that other types of people do not. It is not meant to be predictive. As you point out, many people have these traits and there is interesting research finding correlation between behavioral traits and biological factors.

Instead, gendered expectations is about behavior that a society/environment deem acceptable for a certain type of person. That is, it is more acceptable for a man to behave in a loud and assertive manner.

Your final point really rung true with me. It is a great example of how environments encourage, or even require, that type of behavior. I can recall many times that I have been in a meeting and had anxiety that I couldn't get my point across because someone else was interrupting more effectively. And if I don't interrupt at the right time, I get spoken over and eventually the topic moves on.

Know that in those environments, you're not the only person in the room feeling that way. And for the less assertive people or those who think it is inappropriate to interrupt others, they get even less opportunities to speak up. It seems like that is the status quo for so many discussions and I have to wonder, is there a better way?

I think the phrase that deserves a lot of consideration is "better work environment."

To me, the question isn't about whether men and women are equals in the workplace. The question is whether the workplace provides an equal opportunity for men, women, and people with diverse backgrounds to succeed.

I think it is important to point out that equality has a huge impact on diversity.

The site will use javascript if you don't have Silverlight installed, so it's not a requirement.
