      A feeling I have had a number of times this year, which deserves a longer write-up but for now a short one will have to do: I feel that I have witnessed a great dispersion in outcomes between organizations that can function at 5:01 PM on Friday and those which cannot.

      I know I'm next to a seismic fault in the tech community with this observation. It isn't primarily about the tech community, though I have observed the tech community's response to the same challenges everyone is dealing with.

      That response has often included: "OF COURSE we will work through the weekend on this. It is a matter of literal life and death." There are organizations which did not make this choice, and are not making this choice. Including as we speak.

      And I know the usual observations here; sucker for working if not paid, etc etc, yeah I get it. But: If union rules or whatever prevent you from putting a needle in someone's arm or unblocking someone from doing so... should you be considering literally breaking in right now?

      On the other hand, this approach also leads to things like this: https://www.cnn.com/2020/12/31/us/wisconsin-coronavirus-vaccine-vials/index.html …

      My dominant hypothesis for this event is “Human error, criminalized for CYA reasons.”

      He flat out admitted he did it on purpose and that his goal was that when the people who got the spoiled vaccine got sick it would show that the vaccine didn't work.

      I suspect, Marc, that that is in fact the real story ... but I also don't trust cops and confessions, so...

          Oh, fair enough. I'm just saying, if it went down like that, it could also be viewed as a violation for what the violator saw as a higher good.

          Removing them from the fridge, knowing that they must remain refrigerated, isn’t the same thing as removing them with the intent to destroy them. I know milk will spoil if left out, and I’ve still accidentally done it. If asked whether I knew it’d spoil if left out, I’d say yes*

          Replying to @jordanthelawyer @MorlockP and

          *I wouldn’t have been answering any questions if the cops asked. But if my wife asked “Don’t you know milk spoils on the counter!?” I would have said, “Yes, but I got distracted. I’ll head to the store.” That the cops don’t say he admitted intent is, to me, quite telling.
