Where practical Clones really fall apart is when you put them in motion. They feel way too stiff to the point where it just looks goofy whereas CGI/mocapped Clones were doing this:

founder market fit

If you could change one thing about The Phantom Menace what would it be?

i do think war crimes are generally misunderstood as a concept. the overriding principle is that serious powers are never going to accept actual limits on their military capability. doing so would be suicidal because you can't assume your opponents will accept similar limits. but what you can do is ban stuff that causes a lot of suffering for minimal military benefit. gas weapons are like this: gas weapons are usually less effective than high explosives, but cause a lot of pain and collateral damage. they're most popular as a terror weapon used by weak regimes that can't afford better stuff. so it's feasible to ban poison gas. the point of war crime law is to bend stuff on the margin to he a bit more humane and a bit less destructive. but it can't fundamentally change the character of war, just tinker around the edges.

First off, he's right as usual. In practice, orgs get blocked on rewarding outlier performers who really act like owners by their own red tape. Typical blockers: - "This isn't in our comp band": Well, the alternative is that they walk out the door and found something or join a different place as a more senior executive. These people know they're busting their asses for you and this isn't a charity. - "The optics look bad": Nobody has to know, and the people who find out are going to respect the decision because founder mode is so blindingly obvious. The big catch here is that often the people with founder mode are young, or inexperienced, or not from central casting. But you need to push through this. - "What if we make a mistake." You won't, because detecting founder mode is so so so easy. The people who are exhibiting it are not only more productive and more proactive but they also follow up more, have a better attitude, take things to completion, hold higher standards, etc. It's not like some hard-to-detect secret where you're gambling on whether it's going to be worth it. The equity is much better spent on these people than some new exec where the error bars are 100 meters wide. Two anecdotes: * I got a very large grant at the beginning of a startup's growth phase, and the founders basically sat me down and said "we could've used this to hire 2-3 engineers or a new exec, but we believe in YOU so here it is." For about a year after receiving it I would've put on a ski mask and smashed our competitors' office windows with a crowbar if asked. I worked ~80% of weekends for years. * I recently gave someone on my team w/ very long tenure and probably 0.8-0.9 Founder Mode tendencies a much larger grant than they were expecting. Morale, job performance, inspirational performance to his team notably improved. But I had to argue with several internal teams, reference times that I'd teed him up as a top performer years before (thankfully I saw this day coming), make a case, reduce equity grants for other people to make it happen. It was totally ridiculous. This guy is probably worth a couple % of the company's market cap.

One of my favorite Napoleon moments is when he was exiled to Elba and singlehandedly turned it around in less than a year, he was just That Guy
