I've always thought it would be fun to somehow incorporate technology into climbing for tracking or otherwise augmenting the experience.

Time trials sound like a quick avenue to painful injury, though. If I were a gym, I'd be cautious in encouraging it. In my experience, climbing prowess is not a matter of speed but control -- the more statically you can complete a route the more control you demonstrate. A friend of mine once said his goal is to complete a route as silently as possible, avoiding accidental scuffs of his shoes or knocking of his knuckles on the wall. This is actually a great measure of control, too.
Not all developers can work for companies poised to take over an $800B industry.
That's the point of managing your own career and your own life, isn't it?

Well no, it's a market limitation, not every developer can work for companies that are poised to take over an $800B industry. No matter how successful a developer is at such a company, there will still be a need for developers in less lucrative, more mundane jobs.

Not if you quit, make it SaaS and sell it to 3,000 companies for $100/month (or even $1,000/month).

Again, that's the risk part, not every developer is in a place in his life where he can quit his job with a steady paycheck and work for some speculative startup that may or may not ever become successful.

And besides, didn't you just say that developer who quit his job to work at a small startup shouldn't get an outsized reward just because he took that risk to work for an early stage startup?
HTC's One A9: An impressive, affordable smartphone running Android 6.0
...or it could easily be re-titled, "Electric drive engineer fulfills life-long dream of working at 1 Infinite Loop, Cupertino, CA. Invites colleagues to join."

I think Apple's easy to villify for their participation in the policy not to "poach" (or hire) from other tech companies like Microsoft, Google, et al. This article seems to focus on the damage done when they nab top-talent at smaller companies (that never would have been part of that no-hiring deal). It's hard to fault Apple for hiring talented teams. It is regrettable that such hiring can have a devastating impact to smaller companies.
I do search in the browser and this is generally quicker although part of the reason I search more often is the search box widget that I have on every home screen. Lack of support for true widgets is really an unfortunate gap in the iPhone experience for me but I may switch back for the next two years anyway as I'm not really a fanboy in either direction.
The headline is click-bait, the article itself interesting. As it says, sensory deprivation is nothing new (there was even a Simpsons episode about it; Lisa in an isolation tank). The difference, of course, between the titular yoga studio and a CIA's torture site is that in the former, the person being deprived of stimuli is in control, while at the CIA it's the torturer.
My take on this (which may not necessarily conflict with your view) is that process exists to serve individuals and interactions. For example, the standup meeting is a common practice used to facilitate interaction amongst team members, and to bring forward issues an individual may be experiencing. However, there are teams out there that communicate really well outside of standups. Individuals bring up roadblocks early on. For these teams, standups are redundant... but they are core to most agile processes. In this case it makes sense to ignore that part of the process -- it just gets in the way.

In my opinion, process should _always_ be bent and ignored when appropriate. This doesn't mean that you shouldn't be disciplined, or that you should ignore process. Additionally, I think that questioning the process should be encouraged. To which, the author also says:

> Team members reject Agile methodologies openly, as they do not want to be pushed out of their comfort zones.

To me, there's a fine line between rejecting something because it pushes you out of your comfort zone and rejecting something because it gets in the way of doing work. The fact that the author doesn't bring up the possibility that there are many valid reasons for rejecting methodology leads me to believe that he may himself be lumping anyone who disagrees with him into this category, which can be very dangerous. One shouldn't ignore the process just because you don't feel like it, but you also shouldn't blindly follow the process just because someone says that's the only way to stay disciplined.
I think the speed of the experience is core. Browsers on mobile eat up a big part of device's resources, and the time it takes to load it and perform the search is so big that it doesn't make sense to use it for anything else than general web search. If "there's an app for that", one will use an app for that.
With the minor correction that #1 also applies to divisions (east coast office vs west coast office) and cross shift (3rd shift ops has the same written procedures and instincts or whatever as 2nd or 1st shift ops).

Programming is a young profession. On the other hand, design and engineering and automation are old, and the giants got that way by following pcurve's list, more or less, not by inventing or implementing Agile. Therefore the higher people go in management and therefore the more abstracted they get get from the front line, the more likely they are to completely uninterested in Agile, as that's just not how big companies are run, even if it works for a ten person startup. So there's going to be a push from the top to call it whatever you want but when you interface with the exec suite you'll talk in terms of micromanaged waterfall because that's how we build jet engines here, or mining machines, or run a worldwide communications system, or whatever.
Sounds like it isn't going to be open sourced. Someone else made a clone and put it on github, see here https://www.reddit.com/r/climbing/comments/3p2soa/bouldering...
And how would you know that without a theory that told you that?
Yes, that was in an Incognito window and there were plenty of ads for other SERPs. It's Google so it would vary based on tons of factors (user agent, location, if I have a cookie, etc etc).
We're working on a container scaling solution that runs on top of the scheduler. It will scale containers based on current demand. There is overlap with the Swarm strategies but we're focused on auto scaling. So for example we'll use the scheduler to provide fault tolerance.

The demo tool we've released today is single node and uses the Docker Remote API. We've also built demos that integrate with the ECS and Marathon schedulers. Force12 will be platform agnostic. So we plan to integrate with more schedulers and Swarm is definitely on that list.
I laughed really hard at this post. I've long compared schools to prisons, but never with this much flair. People thought you were serious, to the point of wanting to ignore your future posts. That's some good satire right there. kudos to you, sir.

For two UK charities I've worked with, the reason is that they've been tempted by the siren voices of Google.

Google offer a tempting deal to charities: free mapping, and the chance to get your content hosted on Google Maps. So, for example, Sustrans' cycle routes are now integrated into the Google's UK mapping data.

This seems to appeal particularly to the higher-ups. The developers/GIS team may be more au fait with OSM, but when the marketing director says "We have the choice of getting our routes publicised for free on Google, or... what's this obscure 'street map' site you mentioned?", it's hard to convince them. (I did try to persuade one such charity to switch to OSM-backed mapping, but the answer was "Google is a corporate partner of our charity - we can't be seen to switch away from them".)

It's a great shame especially because, as you say, the tooling available around OSM data is so much more powerful than the Google Maps API could ever be. But I'm not too worried: it'll come in time. With OSM powering more consumer-level sites by the day, it's getting easier to answer the marketing director's question.

and they should televise the whole thing, so that the public can get the blood they're all so clearly thirsty for.

I bet if televised, public executions would be the biggest PPV draw in Oklahoma and Kansas. It could fund schools, lower taxes, and most importantly, fund bigger gallows for executing more of the people we decide shouldn't live anymore.
The software may be open source but the support isn't. One of the reasons that Microsoft's office suite has been such a successful product over the years is because it just works.

One of the few correct statements Ayn Rand ever made was that when the age of money ends, it will usher in the age of pull. If you support someone that advocates a technological overhaul and it doesn't pay off, then you'll be left holding the bag. Not all politics in government happens on Capitol Hill.

Your analogy about running is very good, althought I think there's also another aspect - a lot depends on personal idiosyncrasies and relation between a person and a task. For instance, if I'm free to work on my personal projects, I prefer not to have any social contact with anyone except pizza delivery guy for extended periods of time. On the other hand, I need Hacker News and Facebook Messenger to get through the day at $dayjob.

Why the Golden Age of Machine Learning Is Just Beginning Now
I contribute from time to time to OSM. What bothers me a bit is my productivity when doing surveys with my phone and OSMTracker. The GPS is not precise enough to record doors locations precisely, and taking photos is time consuming (I feel quite productive when tracing roads against satellite views using JOSM, though). I can imagine that Google's stack (with their Google cars and adapted home-grown software) must be something like 100 or 1000 times more productive.

Also, OpenStreetMap provides the data, but Google aggregates the data, which makes very cheap to add/search a lot of information (ex: shops) available from on-line sources (such as web sites). I don't expect OSM to have the same amount of information any time soon.
There is no U.S. law that compels us to "offer MITM access to every Let's Encrypt trusted network stream".

TLS sessions are negotiated between TLS clients and servers. Their confidentiality is guaranteed by that negotiation and the certificate authority, if any, doesn't have the server's private key and can't read the server's TLS sessions.

What CAs have the power to do is misissue certificates. Using a CA's services generally does not increase your exposure to misissuance attacks by that CA. If Let's Encrypt misissues certificates, it could misissue them for sites that are not and never have been Let's Encrypt users, just as any other CA can issue certificates for any public Internet service.

As I've said elsewhere, Let's Encrypt wants to use, and encourage others to use, technologies that limit our power to do the wrong thing, including HPKP and Certificate Transparency. We want more limits on our power and other CAs' power, not fewer, that lead to misissuance events getting caught and attacks on TLS users failing.

> As a society we are so rich we can easily keep those people in prison for life, and spare ourselves the moral implications of actually killing people.

But not the moral implications of keeping someone caged like an animal for the remainder of his life. What's worse: to die in a week, or to spend decades in prison?
Interesting question is "zero searches" or "zero searches through Google" ? We've seen a number of apps (TravelAdvisor, Yelp, AngiesList, OpenTable) which seem to have captured search traffic for their particular specialty. I could easily see Google not getting any of that traffic.
Mastering the Way to Work with Extroverts
It's not about spending 3-5 years learning about the history but actually believing and understanding that that history has value. It's the ability to regularly ask the question "is this a solved problem" and actually be willing to work to figure it out. This is what I feel is missing with a lot of the younger engineers I interact with.

The craigslist strategy is really smart. Email has way better response rates than, say, facebook, and it seems like a solid way to get past the initial "spread beyond your immediate social network" problem. That said though, it doesn't sit quite right with me. I'm aware this is mostly a problem inherent with the craislist format, but it seems like scraping tools like they used [1] are ripe for abuse, and that by some definitions, unsolicited and unrelated emails could be considered abuse. Nonetheless, it's a really smart growth strategy.

Moreover, voice functions are made so that they require you to be on-line, which cuts down their utility significantly.

My mother was bipolar and there was no upside to this disorder for her. She had long cycles of depression (6 months to 18 months) and very short intense manic periods where she spent all of her available money and talked about conspiracies as if they were real.

I can imagine that a bipolar individual with less deep cycles might get inspiration to innovate during the manic periods.

The list of well know people that were or are bipolar is remarkable for the creativity on the list.

I find the title disturbing. Maybe my sense of humor is off today, but the whole issue of the US government torturing people, and getting away with it, sickens me. Using the issue for humor in a title implies it's inconsequential at this point; it's too soon and maybe will be too soon until the perpetrators are brought to justice.

GIS Manager here. The reason silos happen in the GIS world is because of trust. Every organization has different priorities and standards when it comes to data. The accuracy you need for your building footprints might be (and probably is) unusable for someone else. Data sharing between entities is common but even then oftentimes a great deal of finesse is needed to make another organization's data work in your dataset. In the government sector there is mistrust of data requests from those who would use data for commercial interests so the default option is to charge for it or just make it unavailable.
Trash Your Noncompete (2013)
John Clare's Heirs: The Enduring Reach of a Rural Poet
As a regular data contributor for Openstreetmap: Openstreetmap is terribly broken in many many ways.

There's no regular checkup of the data if it's still valid. Reverting is extremely hard and there are no checks for changing the data. The multipolygon model for areas can be extremely complex and is the cause that many regions aren't touched at all anymore. In many regions it's just an import desert where already open data gets relicensed under the more restrictive OdBL license. Those areas also only rarely get touched by mappers.
Although I loved your sarcastic remarks about the cool pictures, I do want to point out that there are two issues with your argument:

a) There is something else that you know about IdenTrust, and that is that your browser vendor trusts them. This is the whole point of this CA thing: in the end you trust whom your browser vendor trusts (with the option of removing CAs for which you disagree). This is far from perfect (especially since the vendors' vetting process can be quite opaque), but it is not nothing - after all, you should trust your browser vendor, otherwise all the encryption of the world can't save you from someone eavesdropping on your websurfing.

b) Your argument can be read (or misconstrued?) to state that it would be perfectly reasonable to trust IdenTrust if they had a 2015-looking, professional website written in Angular and node instead. Which, of course, is not the case as many who entrusted their money to fraudsters with professional looking websites will be able to attest to.
One thing that I've found really helps with this is saying that OSM is "like Wikipedia for maps". These days most people understand what Wikipedia is, how it works, and trust the content. OSM really is like a cartographic Wikipedia...

Indeed.

Fundamentally it's about trust and respect.

If my boss, or my team, feels they need to track my time, my output on a day to day basis, whether I was actually ill when I took sick pay, something is wrong.

That same team has to trust, to some extent, that I respect my work, that I produce good output, that I don't cut corners, that I'll be in the next day and not wander off into the horizon.

The two seem inconsistent to me. I'd far rather employ someone who isn't a perfect clean shaven 9-5, than someone who's in first, out last, but pumps out half baked solutions (or worse still, actively includes backdoors or similar).

I firmly believe that flexibility in work is almost always the way to go. Even for shift patterns, a large enough company should be able to find cover if someone can't (or simply doesn't want to) turn up on Wednesday.
