Unexpected Anti-Patterns for Engineering Leaders

Whenever Will Larson meets up with fellow CTOs or heads of engineering
at other startups, he often finds himself having the same conversation
over and over again — an engineering leader’s version of Groundhog
Day. The biggest challenge these leaders are facing is pressure from
their CEOs to drive engineering velocity. The message is usually: ship
more value, more quickly. “The problem is that no one has a whole
lot of conviction that there is a simple way to do this,” says
Larson. 

“There's no lever like there is in sales. I think this is not
totally true in sales either, by the way, but if you talk to people,
there's the theory that in sales, you could just add more people and
more sales will happen,” he says. “People look at recruiting the
same way. ‘If we do five hires per quarter per recruiter, we just
need to add two more recruiters and we’ll be hitting our
targets.’”

Editor's Note: "Anytime you apply a rule too universally, it turns
into an anti-pattern," Larson says. In other words, once a practice is
labeled as generally helpful or unhelpful, it blinds leaders to how
that practice would work in the context of their organization. The key
to effective engineering leadership, Larson argues, lies in figuring
out which scenarios are worth deliberately defying conventional logic,
and when to simply follow the rules.

How Actors Remember Their Lines

After a recent theater performance, I remained in the audience as the
actors assembled on stage to discuss the current play and the upcoming
production that they were rehearsing. Because each actor had many
lines to remember, my curiosity led me to ask a question they
frequently hear: “How do you learn all of those lines?”

Actors face the demanding task of learning their lines with great
precision, but they rarely do so by rote repetition. They did not,
they said, sit down with a script and recite their lines until they
knew them by heart. Repeating items over and over, called maintenance
rehearsal, is not the most effective strategy for remembering.
Instead, actors engage in elaborative rehearsal, focusing their
attention on the meaning of the material and associating it with
information they already know. Actors study the script, trying to
understand their character and seeing how their lines relate to that
character. In describing these elaborative processes, the actors
assembled that evening offered sound advice for effective remembering.

It could be very informative to observe the pixels on your phone under
a microscope, but not if your goal is to understand what a whole video
on the screen shows. Cognition is much the same kind of emergent
property in the brain. It can only be understood by observing how
millions of cells act in coordination, argues a trio of MIT
neuroscientists. In a new article, they lay out a framework for
understanding how thought arises from the coordination of neural
activity driven by oscillating electric fields — also known as brain
“waves” or “rhythms.”

Historically dismissed solely as byproducts of neural activity, brain
rhythms are actually critical for organizing it, write Picower
Professor Earl Miller and research scientists Scott Brincat and
Jefferson Roy in Current Opinion in Behavioral Science. And while
neuroscientists have gained tremendous knowledge from studying how
individual brain cells connect and how and when they emit “spikes”
to send impulses through specific circuits, there is also a need to
appreciate and apply new concepts at the brain rhythm scale, which can
span individual, or even multiple, brain regions.

Can Melinda French Gates Improve Philanthropy's Focus to Benefit Women
More? [[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=8147&nl=daily]    
[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=8147&nl=daily]

[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=8147&nl=daily]
Melinda French Gates has a long history of supporting the women's
movement, but it's her new eye-popping funding commitments that could
finally change women's groups' long-running lament that less than 2
percent of philanthropic giving in the United States directly
benefits women and girls.

That 2 percent ceiling could be broken thanks to French Gates' $1
billion commitment announced Tuesday and the momentum generated if
others join her, said Jacqueline Ackerman, interim director of the
Women's Philanthropy Institute at the Indiana University Lilly Family
School of Philanthropy. The institute has researched giving to women
and girls since 2019 and found that while the overall amount has
increased over the years, it's never exceeded 2 percent of overall
charitable dollars. In 2020, the most recent year of WPI's analysis,
women and girls received $8.8 billion out of a total $471.4 billion
given to charities overall.

McDonald's Pushes Back, Calls $18 Big Mac Meal an 'Exception'

[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=8147&nl=daily]
In a post on the company's website Wednesday, McDonald's U.S.
President Joe Erlinger said reports suggesting the price of the
average Big Mac has doubled since 2019 were false. McDonald's said the
average U.S. Big Mac was $4.39 in 2019 and now costs $5.29, a 20.5
percent increase.

Erlinger acknowledged that he and many franchisees were frustrated by
a post on X last summer about a Big Mac meal in Connecticut that cost
$18, calling the price "an exception." He noted that franchisees own
and operate 95 percent of U.S. McDonald's locations and set their
own pricing but "work hard to minimize the impact of price increases."

the feature to personalize customer recommendations, automate data
entry, and analyze complex data. 

For example, Intuned, a Y-Combinator backed platform for developing
web scrappers -- programs that mine a web page's HTML code for

The San Francisco-based short-term rental marketplace teamed up with
Campbell, California-based EV charging company ChargePoint to offer EV
chargers and installations for Airbnb hosts at discounted prices. The
partnership came in response to increased use of Airbnb's EV charger
search filter, which has surged more than 80 percent from 2022 to
2023. The rental company is betting that hosts who install a
ChargePoint charger will see more business down the line. 

Through the partnership, announced May 22, Airbnb hosts receive up to
a 36 percent discount off of various ChargePoint chargers, which
currently sell for about $550, plus $100 off installation services.
Airbnb is also covering $200 worth of expenses for the first 1,000
hosts who choose to buy and install a ChargePoint charger. Typically
when someone purchases ChargePoint hardware, they will have to
search out the services of an electrician on their own, but
ChargePoint built out a platform for Airbnb that allows hosts to book
local contractors, see pricing, and receive updates.

Ecuador Is Literally Powerless in the Face of Drought

Ecuador is in trouble: Drought has shrunk its reservoirs, and its
hydroelectric dams have had to power down. The government has been
forced to cut electricity to homes for hours at a stretch, and in
mid-April, President Daniel Noboa declared a 60-day state of
emergency. Since then, homeowners have been taking cold showers and
struggling without internet access, while restaurants have been
serving up meals by candlelight to avoid closing and losing perishable
food. For businesses, that's the worst, says Etiel Solorzano, a
Quito-based tour guide for Intrepid Travel. "Three hours of no power?
You can go bankrupt for that."

Some days, the power outages have lasted up to eight hours or more,
says Juan Sebastián Proaño Aviles, a sustainability coordinator
and mechanical engineering professor at the Universidad San Francisco
de Quito. Things have improved a littleâpower cuts are now no longer
a daily occurrenceâbut Proaño Aviles expects sporadic energy
shortages to continue for years. "It's going to be a problem," he
says. "We have to do something pretty fast."

The launch of a new electric vehicle these days is invariably met with
a chorus of "this car is too expensive"âand rightfully so. But for
used EVs, particularly used Teslas, it's quite another story, thanks
to a glut of former fleet and rental cars that are now ready for their
second owner.

"Due to a variety of reasons, Tesla resale values have plummeted,
making many Tesla models very affordable now. Plus, for some
consumers, an additional $4,000 federal tax credit on used EVs may
apply, sweetening the deal even further. Buying a used Tesla can be a
great deal for the savvy shopper, but there are significant things to
look out for," says Ed Kim, president and chief analyst at
AutoPacific.

When bizarre and misleading answers to search queries generated by
Google's new AI Overview feature went viral on social media last week,
the company issued statements that generally downplayed the notion the
technology had problems. Late Thursday, the company's head of search,
Liz Reid, admitted that the flubs had highlighted areas that needed
improvement, writing, "We wanted to explain what happened and the
steps we've taken."Reid's post directly referenced two of the most
viral, and wildly incorrect, AI Overview results. One saw Google's
algorithms endorse eating rocks because doing so "can be good for
you," and the other suggested using nontoxic glue to thicken pizza
sauce.

Rock eating is not a topic many people were ever writing or asking
questions about online, so there aren't many sources for a search
engine to draw on. According to Reid, the AI tool found an article
from The Onion, a satirical website, that had been reposted by a
software company, and it misinterpreted the information as factual.

Biomedical researcher Sonia Vallabh's life was turned upside down when
she learned she had the genetic mutation for a rare and fatal illness,
prion disease, that could strike at any time. Thirteen years later,
her search for a cure has led to new insights about how to catch and
prevent disease — and how to honor our grandest, most mysterious
inheritance: our brains.Continued here

Misinformation is not a new problem, but there are plenty of
indications that the advent of social media has made things worse.
Academic researchers have responded by trying to understand the scope
of the problem, identifying the most misinformation-filled social
media networks, organized government efforts to spread false
information, and even prominent individuals who are the sources of
misinformation.

BREAKING:Donald Trump is the first president in U.S. history to be
convicted in a court of law.

What's the United States' most important problem? For the past three
months, Americans have offered the same answer: immigration. More than
inflation or political polarization, Americans are vexed by the influx
of migrants. Republicans' concerns spiked after the most recent
southern-border crisis. But they're not alone. In April, the number of
independents who said immigration was the country's biggest problem
reached a high in Gallup polling dating back to 2014.

To Have or Not Have Children

BREAKING:Donald Trump is the first president in U.S. history to be
convicted in a court of law.

In December 1941, Etty Hillesum, a young Jewish woman living in
Amsterdam, found herself unexpectedly pregnant. Hers was not a wanted
pregnancy; we know from her diaries that she had never desired
children, and had even considered a hysterectomy "in a rash and
pleasure-loving moment." Hillesum wanted above all to be a writer.
Like many women before (and after) her, Hillesum self-managed her
abortion; she mentions swallowing "twenty quinine pills" and
assaulting herself with "hot water and blood-curdling instruments."
She left behind an account not just of her methods, but of her
reasoning. "All I want is to keep someone out of this miserable world.
I shall leave you in a state of unbornness, rudimentary being that you
are, and you ought to be grateful to me. I almost feel a little
tenderness for you," she wrote. Hillesum was aware of the dire
political circumstances around her, but her rationale was entirely
personal. As she explained to the entity growing within her, her
"tainted family" was "riddled with hereditary disease." She swore that
"no such unhappy human being would ever spring from my womb."

Why was a laughing woman seen as lethal, not least to herself? |

is professor of cultural studies and comparative literature at the
University of Minnesota, Twin Cities, US. Her books include Specters
of Slapstick and Silent Film Comediennes (2018) and Death by Laughter:
Female Hysteria and Early Cinema (2024).

Can you really die from laughing too hard? From 1870 to 1920, hundreds
of women in the United States allegedly suffered such a fate. One
woman ‘went to enjoy a comedy and furnished a tragedy’ when she
laughed herself to death at a vaudeville show in Pittsburgh in 1897.
Bertha Pruett was ‘Killed By a Joke’, Mrs Polly Ann Jackson ‘Had
Not Laughed So Heartily In Months’, and a woman in Denver ‘may
have been about the first to see anything in Colorado to laugh at’
– according to the Dallas Morning News. But were these eye-popping
obituaries real? Often voiced in a mocking or glib tone, such as
‘Last Laugh Was Not Best Laugh’ or ‘Score One for the
Pessimists’, slews of callous eulogies lampooned their victims for
having given up the ghost to such a ludicrous killer.
