Former #DOGE engineer says federal #waste and #fraud were 'relatively nonexistent' - I personally was pretty surprised, actually, at how #efficient the #government was," Sahil Lavingia told NPR's Juana Summers.

Just a quick note for this morning.

We make something like:
```
* '((1 (2)) (3 (4 (5) 6)) (7) 8)
((1 (2)) (3 (4 (5) 6)) (7) 8)
* (pick-len-leaves-less-than * 5 6)
(1 2 3 4 5)
* (reverse **)
(8 (7) (3 (4 (5) 6)) (1 (2)))
* (pick-len-leaves-less-than * 5 6)
(3 4 5 1 2)
```

As an ex bureaucrat, in the health/tech area but a bureaucrat nevertheless...

Most folks are ignorant of the reason for #bureaucracy

Part of it is the neo-liberals nonsense whining about #redtape and making things #efficient

Part of it, unless you have tasted the sausage AND seen the sausage making machine from the inside, you do not appreciate the need for the sausage making machine.

So here is my off the top of my head list of why bureaucracy is NECESSARY.

1. The primary function of bureaucracy is to keep records. Bureaucracy started back in Sumer, when the number of agricultural products and names against them exceeded this one person can keep in their heads. They used clay tablets.
But it still holds true if you use a database.

2. You need a cadre of personnel who KNOW how to use the clay tablets.
Sure they can't sheer a sheep or dig an irrigation channel or carry a spear.
Those folks are really handy to have around and you can recruit some of your supervisors from that pool because they have the right mindset.

3. The least appreciated part of the reason for Bureaucracy is...to act as a handbrake. You do NOT want the arsehole at the top, who has no idea how to make shit happen have his every whim executed instantly. The bigger the change, the longer it should take.
Or shit will break.

As to the expedition of the drones, you need the form AH-2245/d.

If there is not one, you need to create one. That's how things work.
If there is no form like that, some arsehole who does not appreciate how bureaucracy works tried to balls-to-the-wall that process.

We have a system and it works.

iPhone Tip. Home Screen Widgets. I know some people are just not sure what they would do with a widget on their home screen. So I just thought I would share what I have done. I am all about trying to be as efficient as I can. So I made me a widget that would help me be able to do things more quickly. I use the Shortcuts Widget. It can hold up to 8 shortcuts. So what kind of shortcuts did I put on the widget? Well, glad you asked! 😄, 1, Craeate a Note. 2, Message my wife. 3, Message my daughter. 4, blank message to go to anyone. 5, Opens blank email ready to type. 6, Opens my folder in Dropbox that contains all of my important files. 7, Opens a blank post for Mona. So all of these just sit on a widget on my home screen, and I can start any of them with just a simple double tap. So if I need to jot down a quick note, I just hit create note, and a blank note pops up ready to go. If I need to send an email, then I just hit email, and a blank email pops up ready to go. If I need to access my files folder in Dropbox, then I hit my Dropbox button. And if I want to send something to all of you, then I just hit Mona Post. These shortcuts are very simple to do, and there are others to choose from depending what you are looking for. This one widget makes things so much easier and quicker for me. If you would like to do something like this, but not sure how. Then I would be happy to help in any way I can. All you have to do is to let me know! 👍, #iPhone #Tip #Widget #shortcut #easy #Efficient #blind

📆 Nov. 14, 2022 #Artemis is most definitely not reducing the barriers to doing more in #space or on the #moon. The cost 💰 and time ⌛ spent on #SLS and #Orion have set the #SpaceProgram back.
Now that we are reducing 〽️ the #cost 💵 of #SpaceAccess, we should be able to have more relevant goals that are of greater interest to #society.
#Robotic 🤖 missions have always been much more #science-driven and more #efficient, by orders of magnitude, at returning #knowledge 👩‍🎓 for the investment. nytimes.com/2022/11/14/opinion

If the most diligent of developed nations - #Germany and #Japan - are seriously testing the feasibility of a shorter #fourdayworkweek, imho, there is hope yet for humanity. A shorter but still productive and #efficient #workweek could help solve problems such as: declining #procreation and #ageing societies, workforce #sustainability, healthier family lives and marriages, youth mental health crises, etc. #worklifebalance #work
