There's also very little profits in the market, most aerospace companies that sold aircraft to individuals have died, all business jet makers have also died.

Learjet wen't bankrupt, it's now owned by Bombardier, Gulfstream is owned by General Dynamics and even before that it had to shed much of it's design and manufacturing capabilities and had to license the designs for their most popular jets like the G100 and 200 series from Israel Aerospace Industries.
Lets be clear. It is a project that we discontinued because of the high resources it demands.

Tying healthcare to trade would be wonderful for the US, provided the trade were free trade, because it would mean we could finally legally import dirt cheap drugs and medical supplies from abroad and allow cheaper foreign doctors and nurses to practice medicine in the US.

Instead, it apparently means stuff like this:

Those "agile advocates" are just trying to sell their own services to improve your "agile functioning". Shame on you for falling for it. Agile is so widespread at this point that "doing Agile wrong" isn't a reason teams fail.

Most Agile teams fail for reasons outside the development process. Ineffective leadership, lack of experience, poor product focus, etc. These teams would have failed with a waterfall model too; it would have just taken longer to realize it.
I know this is an extremely naive question, but what is the advantage to using a nonstandard browser over one of the big four?

Whenever I meet people hiring for tech in Toronto They say things like: 'We practice XP, We apply agile to agile!", I hear "We have no idea what we're doing, and no idea how we're going about it but we will change it whether it's working or not and expect you to jump through a lot of hoops in addition to getting your work done"

I've seen offices with Gold stars for employees and these huge whiteboards filled with different milestones and benchmarks for projects. It looks great, but the difference is the work isn't getting finished. I feel like agile can create a smoke screen (if you're not careful) where you're too busy seeing how successfully you're on track with agile and miss the opportunities or failures that are happening in the real world to your product, instead of inside your process. You can be in great shape as far as agile goes, and still be losing customers because your work comes months too late.

To me, process should never be more important than product. I come from a graphic design background where process is very important to ensuring consistent results, but you can never fetishize the design process over the results it produces or else you end up with mediocre, commoditized design that is indistinguishable from the worst stuff coming out.

You couldn't pay me enough to deal with agile in the workplace, I feel like you'd have to toss an extra 50k on the top nd I doubt anybody would pay me an extra 50k just to deal with it, so I'll continue working with non-agile folks who manage to get stuff done, like professionals! Opportunity doesn't wait for standups, timeboxing (telling people when they are allowed to talk or not), and micromanagement.
Same here, i quote them my current rate for remote work, and for on-site work they get a markup.

There are huge issues with death in general, if you are not prepared. Many/Most older people are prepared, with wills, directives, and instructions on file with family.

If you are younger, without many assets, without children, those things are less important. But once you start a family, preparing for its continuity upon your demise is just one of those things you should be doing.

For me, it is pretty simple. Everything is jointly owned, and I have a "In case I get hit by a bus" document, which among other things) gives instructions on how to take control of all my domains and code, which bills are on my card. And it tells my wife to make her own decisions. I will be dead. I will not give a crap if my blog stays online. She might, so it is up to her.

In any case, I update that document once a year, or before I go under general anasthesia.

Bear in mind that in many "hot" places the temperature during the night falls down to nearly 0C, so it's probably enough to stop the food from spoiling.
Honestly, this article exemplifies what is really wrong with science these days. First of all, this wasn't science, because it wasn't a controlled experiment, or peer-reviewed, before being broadcast to the global media.

Parkinson's disease is known to be particularly responsive to the placebo effect (http://www.pdf.org/summer12_placebo). Since the "experioment" (big air quotes) had no controls, we simply do not know whether chemotherapy helped them or not.

If we want people to trust the results of science when it comes to vaccination, global warming, etc, we need to ensure that overblown claims are not made in the name of science, as when they are debunked it will inevitably eat away at the public's confidence in science as an institution and as a source of justified claims.

I use TimeTrap (https://github.com/samg/timetrap) for keeping track of my time and pen/paper (Bullet Journal) for my work journal. In TimeTrap, I give the name of my current task in the notes and that will point me towards specific notes in my notebook.
Fun fact: at ITA Software we put "trap flights" into the data so we could tell when people were using our data without our knowledge. These were flights between totally obscure city pairs, that departed a single day of the year at 3am. (No scheduled flights depart between 0300 and 0359 local time anywhere in the world.)
#1 & #2 are excellent (and reasonably common) advice for any form of partner dancing, #3 is Argentine Tango-specific, but probably generalizable to equivalent foundational frame and technique in other partner dances (mutatis mutandis, e.g., gender-swapped if you happen to be female.)

But if you get to that level at all, you probably have the kind of innate talent or predisposition (which is not the same thing as body type) that Fenriss dismisses; lots of people do all those things and don't, even with a lot more time, reach that kind of level.

And, while they're valid and common pieces of advice, I think it leaves out some important things for most people. More important than having a male and female teacher, IMO, is having the right teacher for you -- both skill and personality fit matter and good teachers will know both roles (there is still value to having teachers which specialize in each role, but I would say this is less important.)
I usually prefer to call it "culture of learning to get back up again after falling."
I strongly suspect that the place where I live was used as a trap street by Google Maps for years.

It is a newly constructed apartment building in the outskirts of a small town. A small alley at the corner of the street where I live, which doesn't have any apartment numbers, was shown heavily distorted in the map (actually stepping over my building).

Beyond a desire of accuracy, I complained to the Google Maps because the distortion was extending to the part of my street where my apartment's doorstep is located, and delivery men were having problems to find my address. After several months sending bug reports, they finally fixed the corner layout.

I think this is an actual example of trap street because the accumulation of symptoms (supposedly no one living at that particular point, low traffic street, remote area, recent construction). If I'm right, this example shows that placing such traps can have an impact on the people living there.
Nothing you said is a reason for not using Let's Encrypt.
Assuming the consultants are UK taxpayers - the company is an international private company so taxable profits are presumably being offshored, but hopefully there's local employment of UK nationals too.

I've never understood why government wouldn't develop their own consultants for this sort of thing, governments often have highways agencies - the modern equivalent for communications would surely be an IT agency. In the UK we have a Department of Transport but we don't have a Department of ITC, the later seems as important a part of modern infrastructure.

There's got to be a lot of moral pressure internally - for those in control - in a company like Collabora to introduce bugs given they make their money on bug fixes. It seems government wide that purchasing the software as open source and training civil servants on the code would be highly effective in securing systems for future use?

Presumably the modifications to LibreOffice will be open source, SS 3, 3.1 here http://www.libreoffice.org/download/license/ appear to require it?
>There is no "True Scotsman" argument against Agile, IMO because there is no such thing as "true Agile".

If Agile is so nebulous as a concept that it can't be defined (only vaguely described, at best), then perhaps it cannot fail. But it also cannot succeed, as it apparently doesn't exist.

There may be teams for whom these management methodologies work, and good for them. I am genuinely curious about how much the success or failure of these methods have been studied.
Not sure why you are downvoted

Politics. Any question that has remotely been associated with different ideologies, religions or any other polarizing groups division is bound to provoke this kind of reaction.

Free will is associated with religion, so non-religious people tend to oppose to the idea.

Actually I believe that religion is in the origin of the no free will conception.

Nature vs nurture is another of such debates. I'd add a few more, but enough of making friends for today :-)
Kudos to you for doing this! You certainly caught my attention upon writing the terms "static", "syndication", and "analytics"! But a few questions:
1. Can this be self-hosted? I ask because why else would you mention that it is java-centric. (I'd much prefer to control my own data, as do others I imagine.)
2. Also, is syndication expected to be a la POSSE? (See http://indiewebcamp.com/POSSE )

Again, kudos and good luck to you!

There's a difference between what an ideology is at its core, and how it is practiced by humans.

In theory, christianity is a simple religion that strongly values charity, sacrifice for others, and selflessness. Yet when you look at people practicing christianity you see practices that go against these values. How can that be?

Agile sounds great on paper, the tough part is actually acting in a way that's truly agile, without acting in an 'agile way'.
"Forced" is used way too loosely, many people use the NATO example but they never read the fine print.

NATO calls for a recommended support for ODF, but a mandatory support Office Open XML

Office Open XML:
Mandatory: Standard ECMA-376, Ed. 1: December 2006, Office Open XML File Formats.

Open Document Format:

Recommended: ISO/IEC 26300:2006, Information technology -- Open Document Format for Office Applications (OpenDocument) v1.0.

https://nhqc3s.hq.nato.int/Apps/Architecture/NISP/volume3/ap...

Same goes for many other examples especially from the governmental sector.

If MSFT wanted to bury ODF they might have managed to do so, since they've managed to get it under OASIS and tag a RAND clause into the ODF license they really don't care.
EEE :)
So you trust yourself more than everyone behind Let's Encrypt, et al? Of course, you don't have to use Let's Encrypt so you do have a choice.
Coincidently, i've been thinking about creating a pet web project to solve #1 utilising PGP.

The general idea is that you (the user, manually or through a client) locally PGP encrypt the text with the public PGP keys of the friends or family whom you'd like to receive the text by e-mail. The encrypted text is then sent/uploaded to the webapp. If you don't report back after X amount of time, the web service sends the text by e-mail to the selected friends or family. The webapp would not have any private keys therefore no access to the unencrypted text.

Not sure if there's already a similar service.

There's a lot of stuff that has happened in the past couple of years that proves to me that history is not necessarily a monotonic increase in state across a number of measurable parameters, there are a ton of cyclic elements. Some of those cycles are sinusoidal (pendulum like phenomenon) and some are of the sawtooth variety (slow rise with eventual crash).

In 1879 the world was ahead of us in some ways and behind in many others, if we're not careful then we may end up behind 1879 in many others as well.

Are founders missing opportunity because of ageism?
I'm a beginner to this field, but using a real world example sounds like a good way for me to learn, so thank you for putting it together leelin.

I'm a bit confused by some of the terms used (such as implied volatility price, can you explain what this means?), but assuming I've followed enough to understand... If the put option covers 100 shares, why would you only buy 50? Wouldn't it make sense to buy 100 shares?

Just "Culture of Learning" sounds great.
Yeah, look up the whole "high deductible plan" fiasco which is being expanded to mainstream right now.

More expensive recurring costs per plan, then larger out of pocket cost for the consumer after they visit the doctor, which they are economically discouraged to do. Then, when they absolutely have to go to the doctor, they are bankrupted.

I thought the ACA was supposed to help us away from this shitty system? Seems to have made it much worse... we should have pushed harder for universal healthcare.

What a shallow discussion there. Very poor history of economic ideas and lots of straw men and intellectually dishonest arguments. I have come to expect it from journalists and non-academics in general, but it's sad to see them in academics too.

If I did, would anyone listen to it here ?

The point being that, throughout history humans always had a dominant theory about the origin of Universe and it was considered the truth at the time.

The bing bang theory is one such theory which is currently accepted as 'truth' by the scientific majority, but it is not the last and not the only theory explaining the origins of the Universe.

The man himself said it:

> "Yes. You would be purchasing both stock and the option from "the market.""

Does "the market" include OTC derivatives, i.e. options not traded on an exchange?
And this is a disgusting attitude to have.

A free, universal healthcare system should be a primary goal of any civilised society.

The fact that we had one and it has been eroded by decades of corporate self-interest and Tory backhanding is abhorrent.

One of the problems I could see here is that PGP is all but guaranteed to be irrelevant in 40+ years when most of the people who'd use such a service are currently expected to die. It'd certainly be helpful in the short term, though, which arguably has more merit.

>they have identified Agile for what it is: a snake oil methodology that's completely unproven

Is this a common line of thought? I recently started working for a company that follows Agile and I thought it was generally accepted as the "next step" so to speak in software development. I didn't know that there was any resentment for it. Care to elaborate? Do others feel this way as well?
True. Then again, that code that your IDE generated for 10 year old Java doesn't really have a community that refreshes it either, and it sits there in your VCS, and takes up space in code reviews etc.

On the other hand those types do love them a bit of darwinian language. Call it 'Aggressive pursuit of fitness" or something.
This might be far out, but could it also hint that we are very unproductive while using social media and apps, and in general not creating any value (which to my knowledge are some of the biggest time-consumers when on mobile)?

I mean, when I'm on social media, I'm rarely cross-checking information, let alone doing something useful with the information I find. So I don't need to search. It's basically pure consumption.

Perhaps that's just the general thing about mobile - that people aren't productive while not near their computers. Personally, I never use my smartphone for anything then note-taking, and even that is a tedious task. That being said, I actually Google more often since I got an Android phone, due to the fact that the Google-search bar is on my front-page, and so I don't need to open my browser manually.
> No scheduled flights depart between 0300 and 0359 local time anywhere in the world.

Why is that? Low demand?
Already used outside of the development world, so I suppose it would be par for the course on confusion.

Haha, I like this bit from the article;

But radical regulatory reform is necessary if a dynamic private health sector offering low-cost, high quality and innovative treatment is to emerge.

A private healthcare sector offering low-cost treatment. That never happens in reality.
Uh?

1. 50% of people do one or more searches on mobile. That's awesome from Google's POV!

2. The number of people who are using mobile for their Internet has exploded in only a few years, many of those people still use their desktop for search.

3. Many, many people still don't use their phone for anything other than texting and phone calls.

But here is the kicker:

4. Charles Arthur is extrapolating a measure of central tendency in a rather foolish way. He's taking the mean average of the number of searches from mobiles per day for an entire month, then he's extrapolating that none of those mobile users do any searches per day for an entire month.

In other words, he's saying that half of all users don't do ANY searches at all, whereas all that he can say is that on some days, some users don't do any Google searches on their mobile device.

And if that's all his statistics are showing, then I'm not exactly blown away with this insight.
Yes, one of the sites I have to use an user css.

Otherwise painfully high number of failure points are true in the place I'm working, so a good article to show the management on the next scrum meeting (some point in the next two months) :)
This ongoing spat can't be good in the long term for Amazon's image. Wouldn't it of been easier if Amazon had been a bit humble and say: "Yes, things are not perfect, we will try and make it better for our employees." Rather than fighting it out in public with a newspaper.
Is 'searches per day' an important metric? It seems obvious that someone on a desktop PC doing a navigational search for 'facebook' and immediately clicking on the first link only costs Google money. Google get zero benefit from it. Eliminating those searches would be a good thing (so long as people still use Google for searches that Google can wring some cash out of).

Fewer navigational searches would increase the proportion of monetisable searches; wouldn't that be a good thing for Google?
As far as I can tell, gwern.net does exactly that (and it's well documented in his website - under the nootropics category).

Um yeah, no. I would tell them to take their severance and stuff it. Seriously, if I'm not being paid for work then I have no legal duty to do the work. I'd love to see them try to enforce this nonsense clause.
If I have understood this correctly, Google are losing out on people searching for Yahoo, Google, Facebook and other large web properties, which people either can't be bothered to type in full into the address bar, or are clueless to the fact that you can type an address without using Google.

In which case, do these lost searches actually reduce revenue in terms of valid as click throughs? I would argue that most people searching for Facebook for example are simply going to click on the first Facebook link the results.

If Facebook really are going to advertise (paid) in Google for the search term Facebook, then obviously Google miss out on a relatively pointless ad, but in most cases, I can't see the loss here. Why would Facebook advertise for the term "Facebook"?
I don't understand the issue with that statement. You understand what "in practice" means right?

I'm not saying it's technically legal, just that the legal repercussions are so low that no one seriously considers them when choosing whether or not to smoke marijuana.

Is that not an accurate statement?

HN's obsession for trap locations is starting to become uncanny.

I'm not going to complain about it, though - no matter how obscure and niche it is, I gotta agree that it remains an interesting topic. How far can we push the obsession? Surprise me!
I'm confused... How can the mode number of searches be 0.5?!

"More people perform half a search every day, than any other amount." -- What?!

I guess maybe that's more like "the mode over 30 days, divided by 30"?
In that case, the stock market seems like easy money, especially if it's about reflexes as you can have a computer do the work and trade in hundred of stocks simultaneously.
Thanks! Actually I mentioned Java as a marketing ploy (most of the other platforms are written in Node, Ruby, or PHP).

However, I have been considering a self-hosted option. But I originally planned for that to be geared more toward enterprise situations.

A la POSSE sounds about right!

Thanks again!
