To be really secure when leaking typed documents, I get 5 colleagues together and we whisper the leak along the line, so that many of the words are changed by the end. For each word we are randomly spaced to defeat Musk's space-based detection. We then take the output of this and transcribe it over an old HAM radio to a friend in China. He lives on a farm, so he then dictates it to a chicken who writes it in the sand…

Are you not worried the chicken is a Musk informant? Shouldn't you be using a range of animals who each only have access to part of the message?

Or put your own space noise in the message to frame a coworker.

Wouldn't you have to have access to your coworker's email in-box to do that?

Counterpoint: open source software, of which there are many great works without anyone being forced or pressured into making it. There are many more ways of getting motivation than applying "some pressure". Indeed, people are inherently curious and motivated, but it can easily be suppressed by environmental factors. In particular "stick and carrot"-type reward systems. For a (much more) elaborate expansion on this, s…

All this musk-style motivation 101 BS is direct from the CIA's manual on domestic espionage - frustration from within. The means define the ends. If you treat people like shit, or as morons who need BS pressure techniques, you'll get a demoralised company. Treat people well, set them clear targets and say it without fluff when they're slacking. If you can't tell somebody they're not good enough, you cannot help them…
