5 Next Big Trends in ECommerce and Online Retail for 2016
Suggest: Best Software Project Management Textbook
I'm a new instructor teaching a Software Project Management course at a regional college this coming Spring and I've been requested to select the textbook. The audience is made up of grad students across CS, CE and IS majors.

I'm looking to provide a mix of classic and new methods which gives a baseline understanding of PMP and Agile (Scrum\Kanban, XP).

Any suggestions? (It would be cool if they included slides /lazy)

I've found these two so far:

Effective Project Management: Traditional, Agile, Extreme (Wiley)

Applied Software Project Management (O'Reilly)

Thanks!
I don't think copying Twitter as a whole is easy nor do I think just anyone can do it. As pointed out, a simple non-scaling version of Twitter could be done by a competent developer in a weekend. I'm a front-end developer and I feel confident I could do it, just not in a weekend.

I fail to see where I am dismissing the accomplishments of the Twitter engineers in pointing out that creating, what is essentially, a RSS feed with a 140 character limit over a weekend would be difficult.

I believe you are complaining over something no one has stated.
I think the first humans to go to the red planet will actually orbit and not touch down. They will stay in orbit and either pilot robots on the ground or study what happens to the body during long space flight. This will help future space faring people that visit Mars and beyond.

The people in the article are Jewish, not Christian, so I'm not why a critique of Christianity is relevant here. What is your opinion on Judaism?
You're assuming that the alternatives are actually physically able to meet demand. If that's the case, then great -- what you describe would occur. If not then the only alternative is demand destruction. We can handle some amount of demand destruction in the form of cutting wasteful consumption, but too much would very rapidly disintegrate into... well... actual destruction.

I think a lot of people oversell nuclear power. It's true that there's a lot of irrational FUD about it, but the real reason it hasn't taken over isn't that. Greenpeace protests coal but that doesn't stop anyone from using it. Radical greens are not really that powerful. The reason nuclear hasn't taken over is that it's an expensive, finicky, difficult to manage and scale technology -- at least in its present form -- and has several "unacceptable" failure modes in worst case scenarios. I also suspect that the fossil fuel lobby has worked behind the scenes to shut down research into better ways of doing nuclear, since better forms of nuclear power that did not have these massive downsides would be genuinely disruptive. Multi-trillion-dollar industries are far more powerful than hippies.

Is muscle wasting a significant issue? Mars does have gravity, the people will no doubt be doing some physical work, so it won't be as bad as in orbit. On top of that, if they have no plans for ever coming back to Earth, then is there a significant downside to at least some atrophy?

> Again, why on earth do you think Facebook would voluntarily share data with Facebook?

Because why not? Facebook isn't really competing with LinkedIn right now - the latter doesn't try to enter private life, and the former doesn't really touch work life much. Both could benefit from sharing data with each other - from better recommendations to creation of shadow profiles. I don't see how this is an unreasonable theory.
Historic Music Video – The Boston Tea Party Song
Honestly, I think that this introduces a new barrier that trolls and abrasive people won't go through the bother of doing -- but people genuinely interested won't really find this much of an issue.

It also might serve as a place where people can think more about their responses knowing they will be given more credence and visibility instead of trying to respond with canned thoughts and knee-jerk reactions without really giving the conversation and their position much thought.

...Or, it can just turn out dead. Honestly, in this new age of more information and data than we can deal with, I personally have come to realize the value of curators, and although this might be a slippery slope in terms of hive-mind in that regard [one person deciding what's worth viewing for everyone] I think done well it can be pretty amazing.

On one hand, the hololens demo at E3 really blew me away last year. The way it worked with Minecraft was impressive. On the other hand, I'm not sure if I'd really use it often. Kinda similar to kinect in that it has nice features but I'm not sure if I would use it enough to justify buying it.

On the other hand, walking for errands is great exercise. I find it strange that people make such an effort to go to the gym, but also make such an effort to avoid natural built-into-life exercise. Walking and any kind of motion is great, especially for those of us in a job that involves so much sitting!

At the time of the iPhone announcement I had the HTC TyTN and was about 13-14 I believe. My reaction was very similar to Ballmer's. Windows mobile users had all these features and more for a long time already. It seemed like the only new thing about the iPhone was the UI and UX. Purely technically it had much less features. Thus most windows mobile power users just couldn't get excited about it. What we all underestimated is how much of a game changer the iOS UX was for market adoption. No average person wanted a "PDA", most people probably didn't even know much about these devices. It was something used by tech-savy business people.
That irrelevancy of WM PDAs made it seem like iPhone was the very first to have all these features. And it indeed was the first device to bring that to the mainstream and led the whole mobile revolution.
In retrospect it's so painfully obvious, but at the time it did really seem like a nice toy to most smart people. And one has to remember at the time UX wasn't as appreciated. iPhone pretty much started the UX revolution as well.

I don't think it's as simple as making the wrong assumptions. It's more about being unable to see the future and how much a few simple things can change the industry.

Like lol, even a few years in I still got the HTC TyTN II and couldn't care less about iPhones or the new Android at the time. As iPhone didn't yet dominate the market, you could still get some popular apps for WM.

Only now after so many years I picked up that old TyTN II and can tell how horrible it all was.
"As with everything, there are advantages and disadvantages"

The author focuses on microservices, however, I think there is a larger point to be made. It is not that some particular architectural pattern is bad or good, it's that when you don't fully consider the requirements of your application and apply some pattern or technology just because it's the hot item this week you are going to end up with problems. This has less to do with microservices, in my experience, and more to do with less technical managers making decisions for a project when they don't fully understand.
Hang on – that's rather putting the cart before the horse. I'm not arguing that genetic manipulation is wrong, but rather that out-of-hand discarding one of the key discussion points around it is a bit short-sighted.

For example:

It's not a sin for a wealthy family to drop tons of money on private schools, tutoring, and other expensive methods of getting their child ahead.

I'm pretty sure there are quite a few who would argue otherwise. Entrenched privilege and the resultant increase in inequality is quite a divisive issue already; a putative future in which this aspect of society is further extended such that children of the wealthy are unassailably genetically superior will be unacceptable to many.

My point is not that genetic manipulation is wrong – in fact, I'm pretty sure it's inevitable and essentially the next stage in human evolution. But it's an outstandingly complex concept that can't be waved away with what amount to fairly reductive comparisons.

> General Electric had 2 days of cash before they couldn't continue operations. We came really, really close to having the entire world stop working!

This should be one of the reasons why we shouldn't look at "captains of industry" with so much reverence. People made lots and lots of money (MBA courses, corporate trainings etc) by regurgitating whatever Jack Welch had said over dinner or stuff like that, simply because the company he had led was better at financial engineering compared to other industrial conglomerates.

The same will probably happen to Berkshire Hathaway once Warren Buffet is gone. The company has somehow managed to accumulate $62 billion in deferred corporate taxes (http://www.ft.com/intl/cms/s/2/9c690e44-c1d2-11e4-abb3-00144...), which my layman's intuition tells me is not sustainable for very long (5 to 10 years), absent political meddling. Of course people would say that's meant only for encouraging investment, but my gut feeling is telling me that that happened because BH couldn't match their past returns, so they had to come up with something "creative". We'll probably live and see.
Gdp grew, but so did immigration, mostly low skilled, which put price pressure on wages. Mass immigration of low skulled labor will put pressure on native low skills workers. You'd see the same in professions services, if we allowed mass high skills workers immigration.
One could argue that some the worst things happen precisely when you think you have god on your side. In the paraphrased words of Christopher Hitchens, "The suicide bombing communities and the child genital mutilation communities are almost entirely faith-based."
Common Core passed so quickly because:

- States already had educational standards

- There was already tremendous interest in improving those standards

- English, science, and math work the same way in every state

- States already had a lot of experience with harmonizing standards, such as the Uniform Commercial Codes

Even today, with all the "controversy", the vast majority of states adhere to the Common Core, and even the states that don't, have essentially the same standards with a different name.

So, there's really no reason to call this the Gates Foundation "buying control" of public schools.

While I agree with you overall I don't see the problem being solved by "teaching our children". The problem isn't the public, which either can't be expected to know or are actually already more critical of technology, it's programmers being blinded by money, status, false pride and overwhelming odds against doing the right thing. The security industry isn't exactly helping either with their toxic environment making building security from the the ground up a loosing proposition.

How many times do we see new web frameworks on HN without even a mention of security?
That MAV experience does not sound appealing at all.

I think "retroactively aborted" would refer to causing them to have been "aborted" while in the womb, retroactively.

Which, could be considered to be murder, if it was possible (I think there is probably only one timeline, but that is beside the point).

But it's not "killing the person now, with e.g. a firing squad".

Not that that makes it better, just a distinction to be made.

Do you have some measurements to back this up? I could believe it's true, but you shouldn't say something is measurably worse and then not provide those measurements.

I think that asserting that it's a 'matter of interpretation' is a cop-out.

Although perhaps comparably cop-outedly I get most of my information on such topics from the writings of John Ralston Saul (who coincidentally popped up a few weeks ago on HN's front page).

Quoting from the his book The Doubter's Companion:

"Bankers -- Pillars of society who are going to hell if there is a God and He has been accurately quoted.

"All three Western religions have always forbidden the collection of interest on loans. When Samuel Johnson defined the banker in the eighteenth century his status was clear: "One that trafficks in money." Their venal sin of usury continues to sit high on lists of scriptural wrongdoing, which raises the question of why bankers -- the money-market sort excluded -- tend to be frequent church-goers.

" ...

"The clearest situation for bankers would be if God didn't exist. They would then be morally home-free and could go to church in a more relaxed frame of mind."

Anyway, I return to my earlier point that dwelling upon these chaps' alleged, or at least erstwhile, belief in a deity is at best an annoying irrelevancy.
Fletch: Dart for Raspberry Pi
Agree! This whole narrative that the govt couldn't save Lehaman's doesn't even touch the fact that:

a) Hank Paulson and Dick Fuld are arch enemies, have been vicious rivals for all of the prominent careers and this was an opportunity for Paulson to destroy Fuld utterly.

b) AIG's instability was in fact because of its ties to the very markets that Lehman's was a major pendentive for. If Lehman's went down AIG would be next and everyone knew this.
Oh this was amazing, I used it a couple of times when I first moved to London to figure out where I needed to live. It helped out massively compared to the complete guesses I was going on.
Well I heard the story second hand so I don't really know, but given that the guy needed a ride to get a haircut, I suspect he doesn't own his own car (and therefore can't Uber).

The lenders of yore would drag you into a legal status of debt peonage, a form of slavery, if you couldn't make payments. The old loan sharks would break thumbs and legs.

As long as it's very easy to declare bankruptcy and walk away from debt I don't get too worked up about it. Look at the irish pub owner discussed in the story. The business was going to go bankrupt anyway, he took a gamble with a loan that might have floated him through, but it turned out not to. The loan wasn't really the problem.

The student loan originators are way more immoral than these guys, because student loans can not be discharged in bankruptcy.
Essential? No one innovates on their own anymore? They have to rely on third-parties to be able to innovate?
Pure and complete lying. The government could have rescued Lehman Brother's. It would have created very bad problems with TBTF, but they could have rescued them. He's just trying to make it seem as if all the things they did were right by pretending he was wrong in this one narrow instance.

I'm not saying that what they did was wrong. But the guy here is just making up this pretend honesty to solidify all the choices he made afterwards.

Anyone who swallows this self serving nonsense is naive.
Mostly control disease and enjoy the benefits of smaller family sizes -stretching resources amongst fewer people means more per capita.

Unfortunately, lots of religious evangelizers told the poor to have more children or opposed population control (contraception) this proved detrimental to the development of the local pop.

Hank Paulson's brother worked for Lehman brothers. It may have been perceived as far too great a conflict of interest if the Treasury Secretary bailed out the company that hired a family member.
Their HoloLens demo was pretty amazing, but also super misleading. The field of view is more like looking through a tiny window which will greatly inhibit immersion. I wouldn't rag so hard on them about this, but whenever they show a demo of it it's always a full room hologram...

In fact after a quick reread the whole article never said what type of radiation.
What are they talking about? Alpha radiation, Probably not it is mostly harmless unless you eat a radiation source or it gets stuck in your lungs. Betaray imitations? Maybe gamma radiation but wouldn't want to mess with that. UV is ionizing but most people don't think of it.
I am oddly reminded of Pollard's rho algorithim[1], you start with a base image and only choose the first image that comes up in the result, in the end we will eventually return to an image that we have already traversed.

As a parent of a child that was born with a "genetic defect" I feel qualified to express myself on this issue. Ethical and moral questions aside, the only question that I need to answer seems to be, "If there were a treatment available that could have spared my daughter the medical issues that she has experienced and will experience in the future (without introducing others), would we have done it?" Of course we would have. Parents want their children to be able to experience life as a "normal" person, and without the distress that lifelong medical conditions bring.

If the risks and side-effects are as small as this article seems to suggest, then it's a no brainer.
allow me to doubt about the 2days of cash before they couldn't continue operations. GE is one of the companies with the biggest cashflow you can get. they can basically live 1-2 years without any profit just using their cash.

> Something to consider: just because there is a widely present neurological basis for criminality doesn't mean we shouldn't segregate those suffering from it from society.

I think buying that criminal behavior is caused by disease or brain structure (disease when the perpetrator is a middle-class white male, brain structure otherwise) is a problem. If criminality has a physical cause, than law is a natural phenomenon, and the law-makers are law-makers due to natural order rather than culture and dominance.

It would be scary if we started testing people for reified diseases of disorder, and banishing them based on the results.
This, absolutely true. It's all self serving drivel. Shame on NYT for playing into it. Anyways, the real crime was that these bankers did not go to jail.
