#timing — Public Fediverse posts

Zugegeben: Der Titel klingt etwas hart und Fragen stellen klingt eigentlich auch sehr banal. Und gerade am Anfang wirkt es fast zu einfach, um darüber zu schreiben. Du kommst nicht weiter, also fragst du jemanden. Fertig. Im echten Entwickleralltag ist es selten so sauber. Du sitzt vor In...

“When do coastal floods happen? ⏱️🌊
A new study [link above] shows that, in many tide-dominated coastal regions, flooding tends to occur at specific and recurring times of day. Rather than being completely random, flood events often cluster around predictable hours driven by local tidal patterns.
By analysing coastal flood observations from the UK and the US, [the authors] show[ed] that the timing of flood events can be highly structured, with some locations experiencing floods disproportionately during certain parts of the day.
This adds a temporal dimension to coastal flood risk. We often focus on how frequently floods occur, how severe they are, and where they happen. This study highlights that when they occur may also matter, particularly as rising sea levels increase the frequency of coastal flooding.
The findings provide a useful perspective for coastal adaptation, risk communication, and emergency planning…”

“Flooding is typically perceived as a sudden and unpredictable hazard. Here, [they] show that recurrent flooding can occur at highly predictable times in tidally dominated coastal systems. This predictability stems from phase-locking of tidal constituents and constituent pairs with the solar day, causing peak tides to recur at consistent local times set by regional tidal propagation. Using tide-gauge records from the United States and the United Kingdom, [they] quantif[ied] the intraday timing of coastal flood events and show strong clustering at specific hours, particularly where semidiurnal or mixed tides dominate. For example, floods in Boston cluster around noon and midnight, whereas in southern California they occur in the morning. Sites with stronger non-tidal variability show weaker clustering. This temporal predictability extends beyond nuisance flooding to larger consequential events involving inundation, road closures and infrastructural damage, highlighting opportunities for anticipatory risk communication, emergency planning and time-sensitive coastal adaptation…”

Interessant find ich aktuell das Thema digitalisierung sämtlicher Games ... bzgl. Kauf / Lizenz... Schaut man sich das Theater bei #playstation aktuell an 😳

Pakketje ophalen bij PostNL-punt. Weer naar huis fietsen en pakketje uitpakken. Op mijn gemakkie daarna boodschappen doen. Terug naar huis – buiten is het nog steeds zeer warm en droog – via iets andere route dan gebruikelijk, ietsje langer, maar geen probleem.

En dan één minuut thuis en het gaat plenzen. Gerommel van onweer in de verte.

Si j'ai bien suivi Canal c'est 170 millions € pour le cinéma. Le premier financeur.
Si le Canal arrête de travailler avec 600 personnes; vers qui vont elles se tourner ?
Vers le 2nd, ça paraît logique.
Et le 2nd est à 60 millions c'est France TV.

Attends y aurait pas eu une commission d'enquête sur la "gabegie" de FTV avec l'hypothèse avancée de privatiser le groupe ?

So I am today years old when I find out that iPhone doesn't show seconds on its clock. And no, the wavy little red hand on the "analogue" dial doesn't count.

Hoped to catch the ISS moon transit this morning, which didn't happen for all sorts of reasons.

“Don’t be afraid to show up for big opportunities early!” - Futurist Jim Carroll

Futurist Jim Carroll is writing a series, The Art of the Infinite Pivot, based on 36 lessons from his 36 years as a solo entrepreneur, working as a nomadic worker in the global freelance economy. The series is unfolding here, and at pivot.jimcarroll.com.

At the ski club, I'm known as the guy who is first at the chairlift most mornings and at the golf course as the first tee guy. For a sound check for my keynotes? If they ask me to be there for a 7 am AV test, I'm there at 655AM.

And yes, I'm the guy who is first in line for the flight.

Annoying? Maybe.

Rewarding? Definitely!

Whether it’s a fresh dump of powder on the slopes or a pristine morning on the Old Course, I've long thought that there is a profound advantage to being first. And looking back at my 36-year voyage, it seems I’ve applied this "First Chair" philosophy to every disruptive trend I’ve covered. If you want the best "runs" in the future, you can’t wait for the crowd to wake up; you have to be there when the light is just hitting the snow.

Being early isn't just about speed; it's about finding opportunity before everyone else does. And that becomes critical to your ability to pivot into a new career or business opportunity.

If showing up early means showing up at 6 AM to "do the work" while the rest of the world is still hitting snooze, then I'm all in. Most of these Daily Inspiration posts are written during my first moments of clarity after 5 am, coffee in hand, mind abuzz with ideas.

Many people fear being "too early" because they worry about looking foolish or standing alone. But the reality might be that it means they miss out on the opportunities that others see.

The "Infinite Pivot" requires the stamina to be an early riser. You have to be willing to stand at the lift while no one else is there, because that’s the only way to get the best snow of the day.

The fact is, the freshest snow—and the most profound insights—belong to those who refuse to wait.

If you follow me, you will know I'm very big on not following big hype. Far too many trends are overplayed and overemphasized, and yet under-reach with unrealistic potential.

Why is that? Because I've seen over and over and over again what happens when excessively hyped trends don't become real in the short term. But here's a fun fact - I also believe the observation by Bill Gates that we tend to overestimate the impact of a trend in the short term, but underestimate it's impact its impact in the long term.

Which means timing is everything!

So let's put this conundrum into perspective. Many of us are conditioned to believe that success is about absorption. More information, more networking, more trends, more hustle leads to more success - that type of thing. But my own voyage through the global economy has taught me that the opposite is true. As the world gets louder, your success doesn't depend on what you take in. It depends on what you ruthlessly exclude.

The "Infinite Pivot" isn't just about moving toward the new; it's about knowing which 'new' to avoid, and when.

Fast-moving trends can often be a powerful distraction. The buzz they generate It is a chaotic mix of breaking news, viral hype, and the promise of quick riches. But if you jump on too soon, you'll get burned. Too late, and you'll miss the opportunity. Did I mention timing is everything?

There's also the aspect of how real any particular trend might be - and which should be ignored. The most profound shifts in my career happened when I finally built a "cognitive firewall" against trivial trends.

In an era of infinite distraction, the person who can choose what not to care about is the only one who can truly see what's coming.

Don't just filter the future.

Manage your attention.

Never wait.

Don't hold back.

Get going - right now.

Because the world as you know it at this very moment won't exist beyond the next moment. And by the time you get going, the opportunity it might present will be long gone.

And yet, you are probably like most people - you're going to wait. For the 'perfect moment' when 'the time is right.' And with that, you fall behind.
Look, throughout my 36-year voyage, I’ve seen the same pattern repeat in every industry: leaders waiting for the "perfect moment," the "final report," or the "economic recovery" to begin their next move. They treat readiness as a destination they need to reach before they can start. People do the same thing - if we have a major career opportunity, a freelance idea to chase, or a new skill we need to adapt.

We wait until we are ready.

But here is the brutal reality of the Infinite Pivot: The future doesn't care about your hesitation.

In my book, Dancing in the Rain, I explored why you have to build while it’s pouring rain. Why did I write it? Because I know most people view a period of volatility or a period of chaos as a reason to delay. They think they are being "prudent" by waiting. In reality, they are being overtaken.

Here's what I know: you need to establish a dual mindset, in which you:

Rebuild during the lows: The rainy periods, aka volatility, are the only time you have the quiet to master the next tool, learn new skills, or overhaul your infrastructure. If you are waiting for things to "get back to normal" to start your growth phase, you have already lost opportunities due to the speed of change

Pivot during the highs: When things are going well, that is exactly when the next disruption is cutting to the front of the line. It won't wait for you. You need to jump.

The Infinite Pivot is about realizing that the idea of being "ready" is a myth, a trap, a barrier. The future tends to arrive on its own schedule. If you spend your time waiting for clarity, you’ll find yourself standing in a world that has already moved on without you.

You can't control the timing, but you can control your motion.

Don't wait for the future to invite you.

Jim Carroll's book of 2007, Ready, Set, Done: How to Innovate When Faster is the New Fast, emphasized the need to be ready.

Here's what I know: you need to establish a dual mindset, in which you:

Rebuild during the lows: The rainy periods, aka volatility, are the only time you have the quiet to master the next tool, learn new skills, or overhaul your infrastructure. If you are waiting for things to "get back to normal" to start your growth phase, you have already lost opportunities due to the speed of change

Pivot during the highs: When things are going well, that is exactly when the next disruption is cutting to the front of the line. It won't wait for you. You need to jump.

The Infinite Pivot is about realizing that the idea of being "ready" is a myth, a trap, a barrier. The future tends to arrive on its own schedule. If you spend your time waiting for clarity, you’ll find yourself standing in a world that has already moved on without you.

You can't control the timing, but you can control your motion.

Don't wait for the future to invite you.

Jim Carroll's book of 2007, Ready, Set, Done: How to Innovate When Faster is the New Fast, emphasized the need to be ready.

In corporate and economic strategy, the costliest missteps aren’t always flawed concepts, they’re strong ideas that were overlooked or dismissed too soon. In fast-moving markets, timing and attention can matter more than the idea itself, and missing early signals often costs more than placing the wrong bet. #Business #Strategy #Timing #Markets #Innovation

'MARILYN MONROE, ACTRESS, NEW YORK CITY, MAY 6, 1957'
.
I saw a post earlier where a photographer asked what you say during a session to get someone to drop their mask. It reminded me of this portrait by Avedon. No direction. No prompt. Just patience.

YOU may laugh, CheapPontoon, but did you ever lose a job because you thought a serious interview would be a good time to exercise your stand-up comedy skillz?
Been there. Done that. Didn't get the job or a T-Shirt.

"Laser Ranging Makes GPS Satellites More Accurate" by @hackaday - Laser retroreflector on newest #GPS satellite is the first of what will be on all upcoming GPS satellites. Similar reflectors left on the Moon by Apollo astronauts allow scientists to measure distance to the Moon to the millimeter. Same use for GPS satellites will reduce error in their estimated trajectory, and improve #positioning, #navigation & #timing #PNT derived from them. https://hackaday.com/2026/03/29/laser-ranging-makes-gps-satellites-more-accurate/ #GNSS #satellite #space
