One of the downsides when you try to reduce unwanted variability. I’m sure it feels familiar to many. Sometimes the rules that limit individuals don’t even have the noble goal of reducing noise. Sometimes they are just an attempt to manage risk when an org reaches a large scale. https://t.co/2GEtpAYJbH

@ghaff @mccrory At this pace, mine will be replaced by an Android smartband very soon. Only reason why I switched to Apple Watch is that Samsung had stopped producing the only form factor I’m interested in.

@discoposse It must have something to do with the notification delivery rules (either iPhone or Watch but not both) and/or the wrist detection. I wish @Apple would offer the option to decouple the latter from notification delivery without deactivating all other features. So unreliable now.

@mccrory I’m glad I’m not the only one.

Is it just me? https://t.co/yfznW8hm0j

If you really must predict, this is the way to improve the quality of the prediction: unweighted average of multiple *independent* and *expert* forecasters.

Or average a small group of *recently accurate* forecasters. https://t.co/6uOGyiZ2gf

It’s not clear to me why the Apple Watch is so inconsistent with notifications. It’s my main use case and it’s the worst device I ever had for the purpose.

Notifications from news apps get delivered like a clock. Everything else, from emails to messagging apps is randomly missed

You might be surprised, but the answers you got to your question in 2015 might be radically different from the answers you’d get in 2021.

In fact, the answers you got in 2019 might be radically different in 2021.

Next time somebody wants to sell you a prediction. https://t.co/LDpETfeHBe

A Nobel Prize on the effectiveness of job interviews. Another must-read chapter, this time for HR pros, hiring managers, and all the candidates that felt bad about being rejected.

Relevant for the unprecedented number of professionals that are re-evaluating their careers. #COVID https://t.co/k7pMbYzson
