As a little bit of context, here is CDC reporting on deaths for the last few years in the USA, and Covid deaths in blue. One can see it is a big deal, real but not perhaps the end of civilization. It's very much open to support a viewpoint you already had.

AR isn't the next big thing, it's here, it's our phones. We keep thinking other screens make it less important, it's the other way around. Our phones become the hub to increasingly dumb screens. They will just become more important.

PSA: For those who just aren’t getting the message, COVID-19 doesn’t care about your political preferences, age, spring break or vacation plans, extrovert personality, mood swings or “we’re just going to live life as nothing happened” attitude. COVID-19 is the most serious pandemic of our lifetime. It’s a virus without a vaccine or cure that can infect everyone, be passed by everyone, kills people and has ground our world to a halt. If you fit in the categories above, stop listening to TV talking heads, political pundits, officials angling for re-election, people shouting “the dang government ain’t gonna tell ME what to do!!”, friends and family with bad ideas or your own bad ideas. Listen. To. The. Science. This is a good place to start: https://lnkd.in/gkP8rP6 #dobetter …see more

How to promote with sanity in 5 simple steps: 1) Recognize the individual(s) that deserve promotion based on a set of criteria, data points and achievements 2) Ensure that the promotion will challenge them and set them up for success 3) Change their title and compensation 4) Give them a nice letter that lists their accomplishments and reasons for promotion, congratulate them in person, and thank them for their contributions 5) Announce and celebrate the promotion with their peers and colleagues Do NOT do these things: - Say "You have to be in role x months or years before you are eligible for promotion" - Ask "Why should we promote this person now" - Write long-winded documents justifying the promotion - Go through multiple promotion panels with individuals that may not even know the people being promoted - Inject other bureaucracy, politics and nonsense in the promotion I've promoted a Sr. Director and 2 Principal Architects in this fashion in the past 3 months. Each promotion took a couple of days at most. It's not impossible if you let go of your ego, your politics, your "we've always done it this way" mentality, and you just put your people first. Take care of your best people, or another company will. #leadership #management #commonsense #howto #dayone …see more

72% of parents whose kids have a smartphone are concerned they "pose too much distraction.” That's not a big surprise, is it? Well, what about this 👇 95% of teens today report that they have access to a smartphone. Here's why these statistics are important: In many ways, parents enable distraction. We’ve bowed down to our kids' demands in ways that may not benefit them or our households. Many parents don’t consider whether their child is ready for a device with potentially damaging consequences. We give into excuses like, "...but everybody at school has a smartphone and an Instagram account." Part of our jobs as parents is to ensure that our children develop a healthy relationship with the technology they use. Most of the time, our kids don't need the latest, most technologically advanced (and expensive) devices. An idea 💡 Instead of giving your kids a fully-functional smartphone, start with a feature phone that only makes calls and sends texts. As they mature, a test of whether they are ready for an upgraded device is their ability to understand the built-in settings for turning off external triggers -- do not disturb mode, Apple’s “screen time” settings, and so on. Any other tips for raising indistractable kids? #Indistractable #Growth #Parenting …see more
