BuildOps’ Post

I wrote about how the #Vikings have options to retool the pass-rushing stable in the #NFL  draft, and how making a selection at DE/OLB or DT would boost the defensive rebuild for @ZoneCoverageMN. https://lnkd.in/gYzdHeWb

Here is a brain snack, something that I bet you will quote or at least ponder given a relevant situation within the next 48 hours: Parkinson's law, published in 1955 by the naval historian C. Northcote Parkinson as an essay in The Economist: "work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion" & The number of workers within public administration, bureaucracy or officialdom tends to grow, regardless of the amount of work to be done. This was attributed mainly to two factors: that officials want subordinates, not rivals, and that officials make work for each other.

This is very interesting stuff. Winning by extending competition is analogous to how insurgents think.

With repairs underway on the Francis Scott Key Bridge, the US Army Corps of Engineers has laid out a tentative timeline for reopening of the Federal Channel and Port Of Baltimore. In the meantime, numerous states, including Maryland, Virginia and Pennsylvania, are considering waiving IFTA licensing requirements in an effort to limit the impact to supply chain operations throughout the region. FourKites data shows that as of April 4, 2024, 92 vessels and more than 2,000 individual loads had current or upcoming voyages in or around the Port of Baltimore, adding an estimated 6 days to the total journey time of shipments due to travel through the Port of Baltimore. FourKites' experts and data were recently cited on this evolving situation, in the latest print edition of Logistics Manager Magazine.

Highest form of leverage! I was reading The Almanack of Naval Ravikant while coming back from college. Here's what I learned about different forms of leverages: The worst form of leverage is labor as it is difficult to manage other people. Money is a good form of leverage. It's slightly trickier to use , it scales very well. These are permission based leverages. It requires someone else's permision. The best of form of leverage is products with no marginal cost of replication. It includes books , media , movies and code. The best part about this form of leverage is that it is permissionless. It doesn't require somebody else's permision to use them. And this leverage can help us disconnect our inputs towards a work and its output by a large amount. Which means for x amount of our input we can get 1000x amount of output or even more. Hence giving us more time and independence. Leverage depends on multiple factors other than this like accountability, specific knowledge etc. Should I make a seperate post for this? What are your views on this? Do share them in the comments.

In Chapter 16, “The Dance of Defiance,” Alen faces the eerie SCP-087 with an unexpected twist. Dressed in his old Soviet military uniform and armed with a peculiar, perpetually wet mop, Alen descends into the depths of the endless staircase. As the ghostly figure of SCP-087-1 emerges, Alen doesn’t succumb to fear. Instead, he begins a defiant dance, creating a rhythmic symphony with his mop and boots. Watch as the entity, initially a harbinger of dread, becomes an unlikely dance partner. This chapter teaches us that confronting the unknown with an open heart and a touch of the unexpected can transform even the most ominous challenges into enlightening experiences.
