But how do you monitor or take responsibility for what everyone says anywhere all the time? Well, you don’t. You can’t. Providing everyone with bandwidth and software keeps expense growth arithmetic. But if you try to exert any control over how it’s used then expenses become exponential too. It’s impossible to do within the business model.... See more

civic renewal will hinge in the end on whether a critical mass of citizens come to recognize that they can best serve their own interests by associating with others to realize shared goals.

I kinda like this of using "flashtags" to indicate "Hill Dying Status" when giving feedback to one another
the tldr is: it's a system to quickly communicate how strongly you feel about something when adding a comment to a doc/notion, sharing feedback in email or slack, etc....
#fyi — had a thought, no real hill to die on.
#suggestion — there’s a hill, I’m not going to die on it. But this is what I would do if I were you.
#recommendation — I’m climbing the hill, I won’t die on it. But I’ve thought about this a lot, and don’t ignore the feedback.
#plea — I don’t like dying on hills and that’s not really what we do, but this is a good candidate for it. You should trust me on this one, the same way I trust you on many other ones.
ofc not everything needs to be so rigid and structured, but seems useful in a world of remote work where non-verbal cues aren't as easily legible
So, I’ve developed an eye for what's personally novel or different. Anything that isn't that, I let it be a wind that blows by. If my antenna picks up that there's something truthful there, I dig in. Otherwise, it doesn’t bother me.

No one owns the traditions. We are all here as stewards. Many of the regulars act as if they’re hosts. Newer people have deemed themselves hosts, too. They’ll often go and grab people and invite them to join them on the dancefloor. It’s always been that way — people feel responsible for maintaining the tradition of invitation and welcoming.

We found that writing prompts generally allowed participants to create personal content filters with higher performance more quickly, primarily driven by having the highest recall despite comparable precision across conditions.
