I find my meetings are SIGNIFICANTLY more productive using Zoom / Teams. People arrive on time, the agenda is published ahead of time. Yes, there are times I am distracted by an email, or something during the meeting. However, previously, I was sitting in 30 minutes of stuff that had no relation to my job. Now at least, I can do something during that time.

Comment Adult Learning Theory (Score 1) 123

I had a conversation with Sr Management at my org. They wanted to implement this training program that was predominantly computer based. I asked if we were checking the box to the complete the task or were we wanting employees to learn the material. It was a mixed answer. As someone who has been trained in Adult Learning Theory and used it professionally in another job, it's about getting the right people in the room and helping extract the knowledge from students. If you do this right, you'll also get relationships built properly and things will move forward in the right way.

If we were really concerned about CO2 we'd make sure that EVs would have a built in upgrade path for future tech. With a 400k-500k life there are plenty of other things that will fail before. You've got to develop a system that makes overhauls of cars systems reasonable from a financial perspective. Without that process we'll continue to build cars and have a significant environmental impact not just in the annual CO2, but in production.

Comment Re:Bedbugs in apartments (Score 1) 69

Dealt with Bedbugs while I managed a nonprofit that work with product donations. I'm fairly certain that in this century bedbugs will be a problem to manage, not eradicate, in most apartments and hotels. There's just too many places to hide and our pesticides, though effective, can't always get to the root of the problem.

I think there is something deeper to this. Even with no evidence that the NSA is spying on congress, he can still put them on a very difficult dilemma. The problem is as follows. If the NSA says yes, then they will admit to spying on the rulers of the US and opening up the possibility of blackmail implications, but best of all turning Congress against the NSA. If the NSA says no, then he can ask the NSA why they spying on the American public and not Congress when no laws should be applied differently.

My guess is that the NSA will reply something like, "We do not separate data between regular citizens nor congress men, but we further do not actively seek out data on any congressman or government official."
