My bookmarks over the years (part 1)
I have bookmarked lots of articles over the years. I hardly visit them but I don’t want to delete them either. I want to clean up my browser and start fresh…

Facebook is Other People - by Kevin Munger - Never Met a Science
- At the door of every contented, happy man somebody should stand with a little hammer, constantly tapping, to remind him that unhappy people exist, that however happy he may be, sooner or later life will show him its claws, some calamity will befall him—illness, poverty, loss—and nobody will hear or see, just as he doesn’t hear or see others now. But there is nobody with a little hammer, the happy man lives on, and the petty cares of life stir him only slightly, as wind stirs an aspen—and everything is fine.

The Death of Process. To write great policies, arm those in… | by Marianne Bellotti | Feb, 2022 | Medium - Every policy or process doc I write now has a section called “Reasons to Revisit.” It is essentially a reverse success criteria. Rather than a short list of things I would expect to see if the policy was successful — which I do but in a different section — I write about things I would expect to see if the policy needed substantial revisions or to just be killed off altogether. I think laws should have this too
