Killing a country’s leader may disrupt a government for a moment, but history shows it rarely makes the government collapse.

In Italia nel 2025 più di 220 morti in bici, in Spagna 46. Quale paese modifica le leggi per migliorarne la sicurezza?
Ovviamente la Spagna, perché 46 (su 48 milioni di abitanti) sono comunque considerate troppi.
Visto che molti muoiono su strade extraurbane, la nuova legge consente di trasformare le spalle della strada in ciclabili segregate per aumentare la #sicurezzaStradale:
Da noi invece mettiamo le targhe ai monopattini: una misura inutile, per un mezzo coinvolto in percentuali omeopatiche degli scontri stradali 🤦♂️

Qualitative research matters because some things can’t be measured with numbers alone.
It helps explain how people actually feel, think and experience the world — and that’s why researchers say #AI still can’t replace researchers, even if it can organize some data.

"If you want to speed up processes, you need to make sure that the people that need to do the work have all the means to actually do the work.
This means that if your legal approval process is going slow, you take a look at what is needed to start a legal approval process. If they need to chase five different people for incomplete documents, you’re not going to speed up said process by adding more lawyers to the department.
One of the big lessons of The Goal is: ”bottlenecks should receive predictable, high-quality inputs”."
