You have to define who is in the team and who is not. Maybe Stakeholders are not. But inside the (cross-functional) team I would advise against "submarines" (german name for a secret project). If the team can't handle this, the problem is somewhere else.

Doesn't make sense to me. It's a simple If-This-Then-That logic. The sanctions only take place once he invades. If there's no invasion of course there are no sanctions.

> recognizing independence for Russian-controlled areas of Ukraine would have helped with the current situation too.

So what you're saying is that these states in question don't deserve the right to self-sovereignity. The people in the independent states wanted in NATO and not the other way around.

From the list of Putin's demands, what should the West has conceded on??

I would add that the unspecifity of the threat was what kept Putin going.

Consider what would have happened if "The West" handed Putin a detailed list of the sanctions that are in effect now A WEEK AGO.

Lower costs and lower risks. That's why far-sighted politics are so important.

Re:Heat people, not spaces (2015) on Sunday February 27, 2022 @12:12AM (#30485619)
Interesting thought.

I wouldn't buy a car without seat and steering wheel heating anymore. Much more efficient than heating the air (even it the "room" is relatively tiny in a car).

I guess the same principle (concentrate energy on a small target to get better results) is at play with Beefers and AirFyers.

Please read the article before you write a comment.

I explicitly said in it that LEGO is successful because of the combination of instructions and plastic.

I further argue that you could unlock value by unbundle the two. If you have salary data on LEGO designers please share. In the meantime I assume a good model designer would make more in the described platform model. (Comparable to a newspaper journalist going solo with Substack.)

Lego really dialed the monopoly rent to 11. I wonder what the material cost for a 2,000 pieces set really is? After all it's a bunch of formed plastic pellets. My journey and a product idea: https://medium.com/hyperlinked/whats-missing-creator-platfor...

While Apple pundits are critizing Apple's rules, they don't question Apple's rule over what software is allowed. Here's why we should debate that.
