99% of stakeholder "ideas" are just copying a feature they saw on a competitor's product. And the features they notice most are the ones that yell at their users the loudest.
Now all software (not just consumer apps, but also metrics dashboards) yells at you, and trains you to attend to its yelling. Strategy becomes dominated by the overriding need to make the good number go up.

Because @…’s Flipboard site won’t scroll for me (?!?), here’s the paragraph with the punch:
❝It’s worth noting that over the decades, Pixar has explored topics such as, but [not*] limited to: becoming a widower, suddenly becoming a single or adoptive parent, environmental collapse, existential dread, motherhood, and job burnout. The first Incredibles has a subplot where Elastigirl thinks Mr. Incredible is having an affair, Toy Story 3 has the toys accept death by furnace, and Elemental is about interracial relationships. The last two movies Docter directed were Soul, which is about a Black man finding joy in his life again, and Inside Out—maybe the most therapy-ass movie (and series) in the studio’s entire 40-year tenure—is about messy preteen emotions that lead to its main character running away from home.❞
* The word “not” is missing in the original, surely an editorial mistake?

Operation Liberty is ready to deploy investigators to these sites immediately.
We have the vans.

We have the strategy.
The only thing we are missing is the funding to scale.

The new server is online and so far the testing looks good. All the endpoints seem to be working and all of the workers and frontend are showing the correct information. I still need to do a complete test run to include encoding just to verify everything, but I'll do that after work today.

Listening to predator calls paired with alarm calls taught chicks to be afraid of the predator.
The young birds were more vigilant when they heard the call again…
chicks that heard the predator calls paired with the contact calls did not gain this fear.
