I wish I could reach the correct audience to suggest to that, if you are going to work full time remote, especially for a mostly remote company for the first time, it is absolutely crucial that you learn how people communicate and actively participate in it. Not just how work information is disseminated. Join your “random” and hobby Teams or Slack channels. Meet people not on your direct team. Join a social group if your company sponsors one you find interesting. It indeed takes effort as an introvert - but while working remote you are not building relationships organically like in an office, at all. Those work relationships are important to getting stuff done in business, emotionally feeling part of a team and mission, and staying mentally healthy. We spend a big chunk of our lives working!

Over the last 5 years of working and managing a team FT remote, this social interactivity is one of the top indicators I’ve observed of whether someone will succeed and be balanced and happy, long term - or whether they will burn out and be left behind. The people who often vanish the fastest never chatted except when prompted to do so for business, never turned their camera on, nor set a profile image.

I’m not telling you to step way outside your comfort zone. I’m not saying there aren’t situations where it’s necessary to turn off the camera. I’m not saying you’ll automatically fail if you never socialize. I’m just giving you some advice based on hard life lessons of watching people thrive versus be unhappy.

I asked ChatGPT to write a 5 paragraph essay applying 3 concepts from one of my books to “a viral tiktok video.” It pulled three concepts that are really there (wow!), misdefined each one (LOL), and did not identify any particular video (LOL LOL LOL). Whoever said it has automated the art of overly confident yet completely wrong mansplaining was exactly right.

New paper from TU Braunschweig: "Accept All Exploits: Exploring the Security Impact of Cookie Banners"
- a user consenting to tracking executes +45% 3rd-party scripts, is exposed to +63% security sensitive data flows
- by consenting, the # of sites vulnerable to cross-site scripting exploits (a serious and difficult-to-fix class of malware injecting potentially data-stealing Javascript) increases by 55%
- 1/3 of affected sites only vulnerable *because* of consent scripts

How can pink be functional, you ask? Basically, the pink comes from chromium oxide, which makes the implants harder, tougher, stronger.

Indeed, CeramTec "has sought or obtained additional patent protection for compositions claiming the beneficial effects of chromia, the chemical that turns the compound pink."
