No problem: I wasn't trying to insinuate anything like that. My first inclination was to tell you, but then this is the internet: I could easily be Donald Trump or Barack Obama :)

So, that made me consider why it would even matter, given the source isn't really trustworthy. But really, it probably matters because it gives people a reference point/image in their heads which makes thinking about such things a little easier. But, I'd rather not have readers think reflexively and instead think about how they might react. Not sure if that made sense :)

tldr: I wasn't trying to insinuate anything underhanded in your comment :) I just thought that it might lead people to think a little more if my exact minority wasn't disclosed, rather than (however subconsciously) pattern matching me into a bucket.

> guess his job description should have been: "do what your manager says" ?

I'm not a scientist but I am pretty sure that is the definition of a job.

Having been both an engineer and a manager and an engineer again I can honestly say my smoothest projects were composed of folks that were great followers. They understood when they needed to take initiative and when they needed to follow instructions to the letter. When intentionally adding a leak to the abstraction was necessary to get something out the door and when their code needed to be bullet proof.

Alpha programmers are different animals. If they are truly an Alpha programmer then I use them like a flamethrower loosely directing them at tough, solo/small team problems. But I've encountered my share of C/D players that labored under the delusion they were an Alpha programmer. These folks lashed out, constantly questioned my judgement, and eroded the team's cohesion. Somehow they managed to do this while also not being capable or qualified to tackle my big picture problems. I afforded them every opportunity to be successful, but in several cases they were just too smart for me I guess so I had to set them free. This article sounds like a my many meetings with the latter.

As for advocating being a sheep. Some things are bigger than one person. Is the defensive end on a football team a sheep for following the play the QB/Offensive coordinator has chosen? He may not be put in the best place to make a tackle or a sack(very prestigious stats) because his role might be more subtle than that (containing the quarterback). This is what you do when you are part of a team. Why are you advocating going rogue?

> completely prohibitive for eg. raising a family

But if it's an unconditional guaranteed income, i.e. each member of the family is making it, then it shouldn't be a problem. For example, a single mother with two kids would get her 500 EUR/month plus 500 EUR/month for each kid, bringing in a total of 1500/month for the family. While this certainly isn't massive, with a part-time job and being frugal, it should enable her to pay the bills.

If I were in your shoes I would be reaching for Django/Flask (depending on how complex of an app I was making) for the backend and either server rendered pages or Ember.JS on the front end.

YMMV of course but you get a lot out of the box with Django and if you don't need everything Django comes with (A user system, A large ORM, authentication etc) Flask is a more lightweight solution that can be extended pretty easily. There is a large community for both and any Python dev will know at least one of them at least fairly well.

That being, the main reason I would go with that stack is because that is what I know. If you are doing something that entail some "real time"-iness or push notifications that's not really one of Python's strong points. So ultimately you should choose the best tool for the job. The "best" tool should be a workable combination of what you are able to use easily and will get what you want done without having to write a ton of supporting code.

TL;DR: Choose the best tool. The best tool will be something you can already use or learn in a fairly easy manner and also lends itself well to the task you are trying to accomplish.

It would be fantastic to take this set visualise their causes. It would be really interesting to see whether the causes are that different for large corporations vs smaller startups. I suspect, as in the article, it remains that configuration, error handling and human causes are still the most popular regardless of whether you have vast quantities of process or money for tooling.
I'll note that the author is not unaware of these ideas, he does write:

The tablet has the ability to use a camera and microphone for [..] reading barcodes and other visual recognition tasks that speed input and cut down on errors

but the kind of environment he's addressing isn't "a company developing a specialised app", it's "a generic form editor that someone currently working for a company creating forms as PDFs could work with",:

These Tablet-Optimized Forms must be able to be built relatively inexpensively and quickly, hopefully by people involved in the part of the organization that uses them. Unlike traditional marketing-oriented B2C mobile apps, $50,000-$1,500,000 development costs, and long development cycles, are out of the question.

That kind of finance industry lifestyle is more like joining a cult or a Maoist revolutionary organisation, except the devotion is to money rather than any other idea.

Because "hard" here is defined by amount of time required. Living well requires certain amount of time too. So deducing from that we can say that these two cannot coexist. Now, working optimally - not hard - is another story.
> The original reduction was given by the well-known Cook-Levin theorem ...

That’s easy. The NTM is just a condensed representation of a DTM, and in each case, the machine encodes an algorithm for whatever NP problem you are working. “Guessing correctly” has no bearing on NP, and it’s not a scary or impossible property that it works for people to believe implies P == NP is false. “Guessing correctly” ( otherwise known as branching ) is simply a property of the NTM occupying more than one subsequent state. As long as you construct an algorithm such that the NTM branches on its guesses in P time ( or equivalently the DTM is P size), then you have the P time algorithm. Pretending a valid reason for P == NP being “widely believed to be false” because there would then exist “an NTM that supports guessing correctly as a primitive operation”, as if this should be somehow intuitively magical and impossible, is obfuscation, “guessing correctly” has nothing to do with NP and makes no problem harder or easier. “Guessing correctly” won’t make a shit algorithm good ( it’s not like an oracle in a quantum algorithm like Shor’s ), it’s just another way of describing a NTM. All you need to worry about is making that P time algorithm for some NP problem. Whether you want to implement that as a DTM or a NTM, is totally up to you. If it’s a P time algorithm it’s still a P time algorithm. I can make an EXP time algorithm in a NTM too if I like. “Guessing correctly” is not some magical speedup equivalent to P == NP. Too suggest that, or imply that, by suggesting that such a machine would somehow be magical is either the result of someone who doesn’t understand this, or someone who is choosing to obfuscate this. So either you don’t understand it, and you are pretending that you do. Or you do understand it and you are needlessly fabricating to try to argue for P !== NP, simply revealing how tenuous you fear the arguments are, and how deeply you lack any substantive ones that you must fabricate them. Your language is an attempt to obfuscate and incorrectly attempt to confuse people who don’t understand. If you really know this space, doing that is just balderdash. Well played.

By law its 4 weeks minimum in Germany, too (more if you are younger than 18). But many industries gained 6 weeks through collective bargaining/unions.

If you want to pretend you’re the noble righteous fake victim of other’s exploitations, and if you want to pretend that people who are really successful are “evil” and their success is somehow fake as it’s founded on exploiting people, you’re just suckling to the disempowering lie that so many people delude themselves with : instead of taking responsibility for your success, and believing, correctly, that it is about the choices you make, you look at the successful, choose jealously over inspiration, and instead of creating improvements to better your situation, you delude yourself with fabrications to diminish their success and make you feel better, closing the perceived gap between you lack of success and their success, not by taking real action that could create results for you, but by believing these lies for the fake pay off of pretending others are “wrong” and you are “right”.

It’s sad you fell back onto this fake victim delusion, instead of choosing to take responsibility for your life and create improvements that could lead to results for you. And it’s sad that you saw in my sincere words trolling, what’s triggered for you there is what you bring to it, and what’s triggered for you is your responsibility, it’s got nothing to do with me. Pretending it does is just being a fake victim, again, instead of taking responsibility.

> your entire post is a pretty damning conviction of yourself. I feel sorry for you.

Not really. I'm not substituting hating on others success and pretending it's "evil" as a substitute for actually taking responsibility, creating improvements and getting results.

That's what I'm pointing out critics of Amazon are deluding themselves with, and this attitude, the fake victim attitude, the I-don't-have-a-choice attitude, is fundamentally disempowering. It's the very cause of their purported disempowerment, and it's not going to help them achieve results, or create improvements -- leading them to have more things to complain about, which, unworkably, they blame on others.

I think you may have a skewed view of what the average person does with their free time (probably because you and your peer group are not typical). Here's a breakdown of what the average unemployed person does with their day (lots of television, almost no education): http://www.bls.gov/news.release/atus.t08C.htm. There's also a big chunk of unspecified leisure/sports, but those activities don't seem to be the type you're hoping for either: http://www.bls.gov/TUS/CHARTS/LEISURE.HTM.

You may very well be right that the relatively small group of people who like to do creative things in their free time would make a big impact, though.

Nice job collecting the data, but paper could have benefited from a map of the towns with a legend that shows the orientation of the towns.

The author discusses clusters of towns with orientations, but as a non-subject matter expert I struggled to follow the trends that may be suggested.

Paper is also incomplete in that the table on the final page doesn't have headings. I hope the published version in 2008 had it, but it's under-paywall and doesn't appear on the Authors webpage.

Plans in general fail as soon as they hit cold reality. There will be problems with implementation, inglorious watered-down compromises, corruption, unforeseen consequences, etc. The funny thing is though that political radicals will not view their original plan as flawed, only the 'deviations' from that plan.

For example, some communists would argue that the reason communism failed was because it deviated from the "paper" version. See 'actually existing communism' and the Nomenklatura (New Class) for more information.

Having also spent the last decade or so building a similar service, the tech side is commoditized by at least a half dozen companies. The ingest workflow is still somewhat manual, and there's a lot of QA that has to go in to your metadata, but the tech side (transcoding, CDN delivery, etc) are commoditized -- especially if you're a network that already owns the rights to your content.

This is all headed towards a world where the big ISPs run CDN nodes and all the channels buy delivery from them not because they force them to, but because the big ISPs can run their CDNs with a lower cost base (they already have the interconnects and disk space is cheap). The gatekeepers will still exist because they own a market control point -- you didn't think it was going to be that easy, did you?

Apps are an issue, but they're not that cumbersome to create, even cross-platform. I was able to hack together a prototype iOS app that played back video from a CMS attached to a CDN reasonably well in about 4 hours -- and I'm not even a professional developer. For the long tail, there are always services like YouTube and Vimeo -- they're a better fit than a custom app anyway because you get access to a larger audience.
