Anyone who's like "Internet anonymity leads to people posting headass shit, so we need a real-name policy" has clearly never used Facebook

So there's this surgeon named Atul Gawande who has written a few excellent books about fallability and the practice of medicine.

In Better, he tells a story about a hospital that was really struggling with inadequate frequency of handwashing by staff. Management kept advocating and pushing for more frequent handwashing but it didn't really help.

Then they decided to ask staff for reasons why they didn't wash hands before each patient encounter, and asked them for suggestions on how to improve it. Turns out the sanitizer dispensers were in awkward-ass locations, and putting them nearer to where they were actually needed improved rates dramatically.

Fraudsters are sending people fake COVID relief checks with instructions to call a number or verify information online to "cash" the fake checks. It's actually just a phish to steal your banking info/other info.

"Sasaki attributes the basic invention to break the calculator chipset into four parts with ROM (4001), RAM (4002), shift registers (4003) and CPU (4004) to an unnamed woman, a software engineering researcher from Nara Women's College, who was present at the meeting. Sasaki then had his first meeting with Robert Noyce from Intel in 1968, and presented the woman's four-division chipset concept to Intel and Busicom."

Not even sidelined, just "unnamed".

Today's gender is anxiety and the sound of train whistles.

current low-effort promotional why-not: every time there is a conversation about NFTs on Hacker News, I find an excuse to drop a link to my patreon as an example of artist support systems that work perfectly well without adding the extra layer of fake "scarcity" to digital work and all the layers of bullshit that come with crypto.

i'm hoping at least a couple of you are like, "but Alice, how do you know so much about electronics design?"

i'll tell you the open secret:

datasheets.

it sounds dry and maybe a bit intimidating but it's honestly your best bet for starting out.

"i do what i find interesting" instead of "i do what other people tell me to do" wouldn't be nearly as frustrating if society's function doesn't depend on normalizing being a good and quiet worker
