I sometimes do things (cleanup, refacs) off-ticket / not part of the ticket. It can be a light alternative when other stuff is complicated and demotivating. Depending on your environment and team/contract setup, simply doing it could be more difficult though.
If it serves your satisfaction and productivity, and is good for the product, then it’s not wasted. Not everything has to be - or even can be - preplanned.
The EU already puts a price on many of the emissions created by European firms; now, through the new Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism, or CBAM, the bloc will charge companies that import the targeted products
The new regulations include an important nudge to other governments. CBAM regulations state that if a company pays a carbon fee at home, it won’t also have to pay the EU—just the difference, if the EU’s price is higher.
I don’t have experience with that in particular. I’ll share my more general, tangential thoughts.
MVP is minimal. Extending the scope like that makes me very skeptical (towards scoping and the processes).
Everything you are concerned with would be important topics for retrospectives, or even meetings with management. But of course those don’t exist or are open in all environments. In my team I could openly raise such concerns.
If you’re always rushing to a deadline, or feel like that, think of what you can do and influence to improve that. Retrospectives? Team disuscussions? Partly tuning out of management given focus and doing what you deem important and right? Look for a different team or employer?
The app-based AI chatbot already handles two-thirds of all customer service chats, the company said Tuesday—some 2.3 million conversations so far—with the virtual assistant earning customer satisfaction ratings at the same level as human agents.
How were those satisfaction ratings?
I have only awful experiences with “support chat” bots. If it’s incompetent humans of course it wouldn’t be better. But that’s beside the point.
[…] use roughly as much electricity as all of the nation’s home computers combined
Bitcoin mining also risks stressing out the power grid in Texas, a crypto hub in the US where the state’s grid operator has paid Riot more than $31 million in energy credits to curb its electricity use during heatwave-induced demand spikes. Bitcoin mining has also brought sputtering fossil fuel power plants back to life and raised electricity costs for some residents in New York.
It’s clear why the survey is necessary.
Why did they make it an emergency survey in the first place? Is there no “normal” survey alternative?
Hey all I just came across an emergency situation irl that I felt useless in because of how slowly I was thinking. Basically it was someone getting an epileptic seizure and I had the info in my head for what to do but I did end up freezing a bit before I did anything. Really didn’t like it. The person is fine now but if I had...
There are two aspects to being prepared and actionable:
Action knowledge/confidence in knowledge
Not being surprised into freezing/shock
You can lessen your surprise through:
Experience
Practice situations for automatism/intuitive reaction
Consciously playing it in your head
Like playing physical actions in your head before executing them improves how you do them, playing situations through in your head can prepare you/your mind-space for them.

Die Gefahr von Echokammern und Radikalisierung hast du auf Lemmy genauso wie auf anderen Platformen.
Communities können frei erzeugt werden
Personen treten unbeschränkt von weltweit bei
Und schon können sich Nischen treffen und wohlfühlen und vermehren.
Unterscheiden tut es sich dadurch das die Platform selbst nicht global agiert, sondern Instanzen darüber Kontrolle haben welche anderen Instanzen sichtbar und zugreifbar sind. Dadurch können Einfallstore in fragwürdige oder radikale Gruppen besser verhindert werden, weil allgemeine Benutzer dem Ködermaterial nicht ausgesetzt sind.
Bundeskanzler Scholz erteilt einer Lieferung von Taurus eine klare Absage. Die Argumente, die er dafür liefert, stoßen bei Experten und Fachpolitikern auf starken Widerspruch....
Scholz, der hier behauptet, man würde eventuell durch Waffenlieferungen Kriegspartei
Das ist falsch.
Er spricht davon dass wenn die Taurus genutzt würden um Russisches Gebiet anzugreifen dies Deutschland zur Kriegspartei machen würde. Er spricht nicht von der Lieferung von Taurus.
Wie sollte Russland denn argumentieren, Deutschland sei Kriegspartei, wenn es doch laut denen hat keinen Krieg gibt, sondern nur eine militärische Spezialoperation?
Dann wäre es ein Angriff. Das ist doch noch schlechter!?
