Life's too short and the world too small for silly fights. Thuggish science vermin within who believes bullets have no right to privacy. Pretender at the end of a long trail of lucky hunches. Physics buffery as world-weariness refuge. Fish on a bike. ⮌

Sam StokesDoes anyone have background on the shift from tech companies having "values" to instead having "operating principles"? I assume it came from some VC group text.
Today's GitLab announcement follows that playbook - retiring a written list of values without replacement, instead offering operating principles that are about ways of doing things rather than things that matter.
Same thing happened three years ago at a previous employer when an incoming board-installed CEO needed to make his mark on the company. Same thing a year ago when I asked a founder what kind of company they want to build.
Did Peter Thiel announce that values were woke or something? Are execs really explicitly rejecting the concept of valuing things? Of things mattering, even when you get to pick what things matter?

"fuel deliveries to Western #Alaska quietly depended on a surprising player: #Russia.
…routes…often fall under the Int'l Maritime Org’s Polar Code, which…can include ice-class design, specialized equipment…crew training…ice-strengthened tankers are…scarce worldwide…
…fuel bound for Western or northern Alaska communities was often carried on Russian-built or Russian-operated vessels, sometimes under foreign flags, traveling from Asian refineries to the Alaskan coast. "
