Front and Follow
by noteworthy at 8:21 am EDT, Oct 3, 2012

Front and Follow:

This risky tactic, conducted at close quarters, is used to track targets on the move, usually on foot. Two surveillance operatives approach the target at different times. The first falls in behind the target and begins following him discreetly. The second operative predicts the target's path and takes up a position ahead of him. The two agents continue in this manner until the front operative feels the need to lie low or misinterprets the target's destination. Then the following operative repositions to the front and the other operative falls in behind.

Cal Newport:

Every time our work becomes hard, we are pushed toward an existential crisis, centered on what for many is an obnoxiously unanswerable question: "Is this what I'm really meant to be doing?" This constant doubt generates anxiety and chronic job-hopping.

Louis Menand:

The motto of athletic competition should not be "Follow your dream." It should be "Follow your reality."

James Gleick:

One by one we are outsourcing our mental functions to the global prosthetic brain.

I can live with that.
