And yet, you yourself have left out:

Marketing of any kind. PMs often are either directly involved with marketing or work with a PMM.

Market and competitor analysis.

Tracking and being held accountable for KPIs, particularly P&L.

Strategic partnership development and management.

Corporate strategic planning.

Facilitating communication between sales and marketing, engineering, technical communications, and senior management.

I'm sure the list goes on.

And BTW, how it's defined varies from company to company. Some folks might place some or all of those responsibilities under the auspices of a CTO or COO.

So I disagree. I actually think the role is incredibly ill-defined... everyone has a different idea of what it means. Some people think it's basically an Agile Product Owner, polling customers, writing user stories, managing backlogs and working with engineers. Others describe it as "CEO of the Product", which implies a VP-level leadership-style position. Yet others probably see some weird amalgam.

And that's just what the role is supposedly defined as. I'll bet there's a wide gap between what a PM job description says someone should do, and what they actually do in practice when you have to marry the theory with organizational reality. After all, aside from various KPIs, I'm not aware of any obvious way to actually evaluate the performance of a PM...

And we haven't even delved into the ambiguity of moving from "what" a PM does to "how".
That's pretty much exactly what it means.. They have actual measurements of environmental radiation.. In anything orange or red, you're looking at a minimum of 20mSv/year which is about 1/2 of the annual dose limit for US nuclear workers.. In the deep red areas, you're looking at more than 50mSv/year which is approaching the level of increased cancer incidence. Nobody is going to live in those areas for a very long time.
How to configure CircleCI for iOS testing
It isn't the same thing though. Workers have consented to the risk and can work to make themselves safer. The general public have not. it is basic professional responsibility to minimise risk to the public. With wind and solar power this is trivial to do. You can make a wind turbine fail safe by not building it within a certain distance of places with people. Making a nuclear plant fail safe is hugely complex and expensive. Ignoring that fact is intellectually dishonest.
Perhaps Twitter has no interest in having users "bookmark" live events, and would prefer to force or at least strongly encourage people to retweet instead.
The Inquisition was not one thing that started at one time. The pope had charged cardinals with convening councils called inquisitions to combat heresy since the 12th century. They were initially not the violent affairs we think of today.

I have yet to really study the Spanish Inquisition in detail, which is what you appear to be referring to, as it was convened some twenty years after the first Gutenberg was published, but I doubt the it had much to do with it. The Gutenberg took a hundred years to wreak its particular havoc in the form of the Reformation. It was Martin Luther himself who had translated the Bible into German.

Even if one is free to commit suicide, he or she is not free from the consequences. At a minimum, suicide is very hard on the loved ones of the deceased. Suicide is not in the same personal choice category as getting a face lift or smoking a little weed.

No man is an island, even if he feels like one sometimes.

Keep in mind that I'm making an ethical and moral argument. To a large degree, whether suicide should be legal is another discussion. To say someone shouldn't commit suicide isn't the same thing as saying it should be a crime to commit suicide.
How big of a difference is the camera on the 6s without OIS versus the 6s plus with OIS? I can't really notice a difference in the low light pictures on the site.

I take a lot of pictures, but I'm not someone who dives into the details (jpg is fine for me... never even considered RAW). I prefer the 6s form factor, but don't want to end up with a bunch of blurry pictures that would be clear if I would have gotten a 6s Plus.
Vietnam is building out nuclear at an incredibly fast rate. Hardly a wealthy nation. They'll get 100 years out of those reactors.
> Is there any hope of getting a job with bad references?

Simple, don't use someone who might give you a poor reference.

But can you find at least 5 individuals over your career-- (past supervisors, colleagues/counterparts, clients), who will vouch for you? Reach out to them and ask if they'd help out. Make sure you stay close to them. That way, when you're asked for professional references during an interview, you'll be prepared.

Mostly we just haven't been doing it as long.
In the UK: a person dies. Their obituary is printed. Their death may be investigated by a coroner before the death is registered. This can sometimes take over a year. So journalists risk contempt of court if they speculate on cause of death. And there's still a strong stigma around some forms of death - suicide, alcoholism, etc. So in those cases the public's "right to know" has to be balanced against the family's right to privacy. (And on a slight tangent many newspaper make a terrible mess of reporting suicide, often significantly raising risk of suicide in people reading those poor quality reports).

This is the dilemma I've run across over the past couple of years. Android devices have a much worse track record regarding official OS updates compared to iOS devices. But then on the flipside, when my iOS devices get older, I can't downgrade or install something more "lightweight" like I can with my Android stuff.

Maybe I'm just used to being able to repurpose old laptops and desktops with slimmed down Linux when they run current versions of Windows or OSX too slowly. All I know is that my original Nexus 7 (2012) is not getting the newest Android update while my iPad 2 (2011) is getting the latest iOS...

...but I want nothing more than to be able to put a third party ROM image on that old iPad or even downgrade it to an older iOS because while the Nexus 7 still works fine, the iPad running the latest iOS is practically unusable. Even reading books on it causes hangs and stutters. Task switching is miserable and trying to run more than one or two tabs in the browser is just masochistic.

I don't even care about jailbreaking or rooting or warranties or any of that. These things are both out of warranty and I own both so I accept the risks. But to this day, I still can't find any way to get something less demanding up and running on that iPad 2. I don't mind not having new features that require new hardware. I'd be happy with good performance and a simple set of apps (browser, email, calendar, e-reader, etc) as long as it didn't stutter and lag through it all.
Completely agreed. Literally felt strain in my hand and fingers from holding the beast all day. Shifting the phone around made me almost drop it a bunch of times too.

Exactly. Most of the numbers and arguments in this article are made up. Has there been a single nuclear plant built anywhere in the developed world on budget? They all end 3x-6x the budget. Decommissioning those is extremely expensive as well.

Nuclear waste is a huge problem. The nuclear industry always has magical solutions 20 years in the future. The US ends up melting that waste into Depleted Uranium weapons and dumping them on the Balkans or the Middle East (killing millions in the long term).

A single accident at an NPP can kill millions of people. How much would that cost? E.g. a Stuxnet clone can destroy complete states/countries.

That's cool that you feel that way, but I really enjoy these features. I'm never home and never sitting down so being able to see everything that I need to pay attention to the things I can't remember is amazing. Google Now reminding me of meetings, flight times, hotel check out times, package deliveries, etc, are things a personal assistant would do but without the associated cost of a yuppie's salary.

Just because you don't see it as convenient or even useful doesn't mean no one else does.

Reddit seems to spend more than it brings in in a year, if reports that it had $20 million in cash when Conde Nast spun them off and had $18 million in 2013 are true.(1) Reddit also has ads. It doesn't seem like Reddit gold is sufficient to keep a large site afloat.

Nobody is going to be allowed to live in those areas for a very long time. That doesn't mean it isn't safe to live there. It means an overcautious government won't let people live there. You even said yourself the highest levels outside the plant grounds are only approaching the levels of increased cancer incidence. So, what other than abundance of caution and paranoia about radiation is keeping people from returning?
That blog post and job description vary a lot, especially the skills and qualifications section.
A power button on the side may drive you nuts. Me, and plenty of other people, I'm sure, prefer a button on the side. Especially in larger phones, pressing the button on top is impractical, while pressing a button on the side is more natural from the default holding position.

Honestly the syntax is a lot simpler and rewriting in Objective-C would probably in some cases get more bulky if you are transitioning to using typed collections:

You never know what "mundane" objects tell us an enormous amount about the past. There have been many discoveries where the pots themselves told us about when a certain technology was developed, how civilizations traveled/spread, or what they ate/drank.
That is not the same fallacy. That is one person who controls the nation sitting on an immense amount of wealth while his people starve. India doesn't have a huge wealth tucked under its bed that it refuses to redistribute to its citizens.

Let me put this into perspective for you, even distributing 1 billion dollars to its citizens barely makes each person richer by only a dollar!
Do you burn it? Why is it than that every reactor I know of, in US, WE, Japan, stores tones of extremely dangerous waste on site?
Exactly - I was surprised the review didn't mention the size.
Because they are quoting the minister, whose remarks form the only basis for the story. No legislation or formal rules have been published yet, so there's no objective basis for describing the proposal. The use of quotation marks is entirely appropriate and not crappy at all.

I don't think unregulated nuclear is a good idea. Safer reactors would require less regulation and you could argue that even for current reactors our regulation is excessive. The bottom line is that efficient regulation is a hard problem and to use nuclear power we need to either solve that problem or endure inefficient regulation.
Almost certainly. I try really hard to be as un-cynical as possible about this, but there's a great quote I heard from someone smart whose name I can't recall right now - economics is incentives all the way down - and it applies perfectly here I think.

What possible incentive could any phone manufacturer have to build a phone that significantly over-lasts the rough 2 year cycle that their bulk buyers, i.e the networks, sell the phones on?

That's not rhetorical, I'm really asking - does anyone know of any?
Sorry, but I think you have completely misunderstood me. We're not avoiding the popular Flux-style tools like Redux because we don't understand the need for a model behind the rendering components. We're avoiding them because they are nowhere near powerful enough out of the box for our data modelling and constraint enforcement needs. We're not kinda-sorta-fluxish, Flux is kinda-sorta where we were about five years ago on the Web side and probably closer to a decade ago if you include applications written in languages other than JS for native clients and the like. And we don't want to write a full application in React; we already have 90% of the application and we're just experimenting with whether React might offer a cleaner architecture for the easy bit in our next version.
OK, you meant specifically the source/header split on classes in languages like C++. Yeah, there is definitely redundancy there that gets eliminated by headers.

I also think I may have been conflating "header" with "include file" to a greater degree than is appropriate.

I looked in to it after that answer. Colloquy[1] was the top hit for my search, and yeah, it does it, but (of course) you've got to have a bouncer[2] running all the time and connected to any channels you want to monitor. Probably pretty nice once it's set up, assuming there's a way to run it on a cheap VM or Raspi or something rather than your workstation or laptop. Looks like their mobile client attempts to register its device ID with bouncers in a channel when it connects, so that's automatic. Not exactly a competitor with what Slack and similar are doing—not having to set up and manage this sort of thing to achieve those services' features is exactly why people pay them—but seems like a nice solution if you prefer IRC.

Why Microsoft Word Must Die
I've looked into it in the past and keep looking at atleast a £500 cost -usually more if you want O2, CO, CO2, H25 (I think those were the ones I decided I was interested in).... and _then_ there's the certification cost, so I really can't justify it (though I'd love to).

"Half-life of infinity" must sound really scary to these people, but that's the same as saying that it's not radiactive at all.
Ok my example was a bad example because keyWindow is a property. But I find myself breaking up lines of code over and over again just for the reason that it can't figure out how to autocomplete due to the bracket hell. And I leave it broken apart because if I don't now a later refactoring likely will anyway.
ATM software is an example of something that really is becoming needlessly over-engineered.

For example, a week or so ago I encountered an ATM that prompted me for my e-mail address to e-mail a receipt (or, as smaller, secondary options, buttons for printing a receipt or declining a receipt all together). It really rubbed me the wrong way. Who is trying to collect my e-mail address? How are they storing it? What else will they use it for? Why is this the default option?
I was super excited about this feature. In practice, it's nice for moving the cursor a long way quickly, but the finer stuff isn't any faster. It also tends to shift as I left my finger so it makes being precise difficult.

While I did use Android phones for 5 years, since I switched to iOS I've used to do your config of iOS phone + Android tablet for a long time now as well. Since I've linked up my wife's 4S with my 5S and using app sharing, I think I see enough value in finally ditching the Android tablet. I always felt Android was a better tablet OS due to the customization. With ad blockers on iOS9, app sharing, more streamlined interface, security updates, better support, the general convenience of free iMessages, Facetime and Apple stores for same-day repairs, I'm probably going all Apple if I even continue to use a tablet at all. The new Amazon Fire tablet is nice for $50, but I think I'd probably put that money into a 6S Plus and use it for the same purposes and more.
For us I think our phones and laptops may be all we need.

Completely agree that the 6S is underhyped, which is amazing because it's basically the new iPhone4.
