Policing is facing #recruitment crisis: # applicants continue to ↓ across continent.

One tool freq used by #police = recruitment videos. But what do these videos highlight & how can they affect who applies?

In new article, I explore these ?s: doi.org/10.1093/police…

🧵:

1/15

Police #recruitment #videos serve several related functions, incl to:

1. Attract prospective applicants to the PD;

2. Communicate specific roles, responsibilities & benefits of a career with the PD;

3. Help prospective applicants assess their potential with the PD.

2/15

In light of their functions, it’s important to consider how content of #videos may impact who applies for #policing #careers, and, in turn, who becomes police officers.

This is especially relevant given the challenges currently facing #policing, like the legitimacy crisis.

#startups #founders #coders #indiehackers

Imagine being able to sit down and focus on your most important tasks that translate your time into direct measurable success

Here’s how:

2/ Being a Solo Founder who has trouble focusing means that you get less done than you want which in turn makes your business less successful than you'd like.

3/ Imagine being able to sit down and focus on your most important tasks that translate your time into direct measurable success. You would work through your to-do list steadily and effectively without worrying you are working on the wrong thing.

Here’s how:

2/ As a technical solo founder, getting the right things done in the right amount of time means your company survives instead of crashes.

3/ You want to have a good system in place to do this so that you can get your product out of the door, set up a sales system that works for your product, and a way to generate demand without making you overwhelmed and anxious.

December 1st and today starts my traditional Women in STEM advent calendar. Some I have tweeted about before, some are new. Time to open door no 1.

#WomenInSTEM #STEMcalendar #AdventCalendar #STEMedu #STEAM #TechEdu #DandT #DT

Door 1 - Hertha Ayrton. British engineer, mathematician, physicist, inventor. Known for her work with the electric arc + discovery with waves and ripple.

1899, she was the first woman ever to read her own paper before the Institution of Electrical Engineers (IEE).

Door 2 - Katharine Burr Blodgett. Physicist and chemist. Invented the nonreflective glas. Which improved everything from eyeglasses to the camera on your phone. She was the first woman to receive a PhD in physics from the @Cambridge_Uni

Today marks 5 years in #nocode & 8 years in startups.

Here are 10 reflection points.

Disclaimer: no sales or ask at the end.

Thread 🧵

1/10 - Customers don't care about your tech stack. They just want an easy and frictionless experience.

To this end, they expect industry level UX.

2/10 - Investors don't care about your tech stack either. They are more interested in you, your team and your track record.

40 million US jobs were lost in the EARLY STAGES of #lockdowns, w/ an est. 42% "believed to be gone for good".

That's 16-17 million jobs - in 1st round - gone for good.

@SFLCin

Our analysis reveals that the #SourceCode that has been released as the “backend code” is grossly incomplete. Though any effort at transparency needs to be lauded, much of how the @SetuAarogya operates is still opaque

@NICMeity @GoI_MeitY
#AarogyaSetu

The code released on 20th November does contain code that corresponds to the #frontend of the website web.swaraksha.gov.in/ncv19 and the code released also contains code that lets the website interact with the application through the #webview.

#COVID19 #ContactTracing

However, some of the libraries/modules that the code depends on have not been released and very little of the released code is meant to run on the #backend.
