Notes

TIL: the US has a law from the Bush Jr era that authorizes invasion of the Netherlands if the International Criminal Court should dare to hold an American. Cute.

The EU is in a serious learning period over how to hold member states accountable to the union’s values. I find it surprising the mainstream press isn’t covering this more. https://twitter.com/teobone/status/1466447923772891136

I love to see the product backlash against operational agile worship, but we need a well-written manifesto for value orientation.

The common narrative of a monolithic China wielding their large scale businesses to exert state control internationally is lazy and flawed. https://www.scmp.com/tech/big-tech/article/3157237/china-suspends-tencent-updating-existing-apps-or-launching-new-apps

Occasionally, I substitute my normal tea for more peppery masala. Drinking it strongly reminds me of Mumbai and takes me back to the beautiful chaos of Indian streets.

Happy Diwali, y’all!
