So basically he has created common protocols for all the common big apps like email, calendar, notifications, music, etc.

It’s a bit Abe Simpson, but interesting nonetheless.

that must be the burliest gymnast I’ve ever seen.
presumably the bulk gives him an inertia bonus for the distance?

I’m no physics professor, but overall mass shouldn’t have anything to do with it. Beyond the accuracy involved, it looks like the primary difficulty is gaining enough rotational momentum to launch, and then transferring the horizontal momentum back into rotational momentum at the other end. Both of these would put a lot of strain on the shoulders, elbows, wrists, and fingers, which would benefit from being strengthened, but any additional mass beyond that would just act to increase the stresses involved.
That said, having more mass may allow the gymnast to attain the rotational momentum with less effort, but my instincts tell me that height would be more benefit than bulk, assuming you have enough strength to get yourself vertically above the bar in the first place.

Typically, the bigger gymnasts do better at the vault, so it might be an advantage for this type of manoeuvre.

Doesn’t mention how much the refills will be after the nice, crisp, clean “bills” are crumpled up by people grabbing them.
If the size of the bills was close to “real” money size though, could have potential uses outside of the game.

I vehemently disagree with the part which claims Sandberg was ever in the feminist stratosphere – not outside of her book PR buzz she wasn’t – but overall this makes good points.

I thought that when I read her book. It wasn’t so much “feminist” as an odd hodgepodge of feminism and misapplied “bro” culture mixed with an MBA education.

That game should be called “Monopoly, Government Paying Contractor Edition.”

I haven’t read her book, but this particular genre is disappointingly popular. I mean, bro/feminist/MBA/bullshit.

It was all about putting a feminist spin on Facebook’s bro culture.

TLDR: If you are a lady and you want to get ahead, just work harder. You Go Girl!

That is the best summary of Lean In that I’ve read yet.

We had a big thing about it at my work. One of the women who led it up at our work was one of our token executive type women who was always fawned over a lot. I think because she was really pretty. I don’t know - my boss said she was really sharp; I only ever saw her in these big online events. But she was up the chain in the organization I was slotted in, so it became a thing for a moment to go to these Lean In events where we followed the official curriculum for exactly one meeting. After that, a really sharp cookie who was running the on site events (a PhD in Biology who ended up working on marketing for engineering because, hey, guess what, STEM careers are super sexist and she couldn’t get support for her research) - threw the curriculum out and started focusing on some more useful things based on work she was doing with her life coach. I liked her a lot and was sad when she left the organization. Anyway, none of the women were interested in more money or promotions because they had second jobs running their households that were important to them. It was weird as many of these women had advanced degrees and were running departments, etc., like, people who seemed like they were ambitious.
We also had an HR lady in one of our early meetings who spilled the beans that, yep, they have one lady (like the lady who was our official Lean In diva?) who would get paid way disproportionately to the rest of the women so that they could say that the pay and opportunities were roughly even.
I was kind of excited about it, then I read the book and was just so fed up with the lack of awareness of the institutional problems around women getting ahead. I’m glad Sheryl Sandberg was able to get ahead and from a relatively young age, but she was definitely in the right place at the right time.
