The thing about architects is they often aren't bound by engineering realities. Let's take your analogy a little further... A builder could construct a small house, and they wouldn't be described as an architect. But if you want to build a skyscraper, you would hire a team of architects, engineering specialists, etc.

The point is, the larger the project, the more important it is to invest in the right expertise at the beginning. The problem we have in software engineering is that successful projects almost never start from a position of major financial backing. Instead, the usual process is, start lean and cheap, hopefully gain traction, grow the product, get the investment, hire the talent. Honestly, I think it's a miracle if these types of projects are ever recovered.

I am working with hosters still running PHP5.2 in production... FTP only.
For those of us with many installs, this is painful. Hundreds of password updates, each requiring documentation, not to mention informing the clients.
there's an evergreen issue of "do you run your business around the software (jira defaults in this case) or do you make your software operate like your business?"

There's arguments to be made on both sides, and there's never just one answer. Default JIRA flow for some people is probably a godsend compared to what they're coming from, and yes, for other operations, having it mimic what's already in place probably needs to be done.
There is a difference between "do more than show up for 8 hours" and "show up for more than 8 hours". You usually have to do the former to move up, it may or may not involve the latter.

Serial podcast returns as Bowe Bergdahl talks US military 'desertion'
"Marketing" includes all aspects of the price, promotion, product, and placement of a company's offerings. PR is the "promotion" slice of that mix. They aren't two independent. In fact, picking stories without considering the audience (which includes journalists who would cover it) seems like bad content marketing.
Only a few weeks ago I bundled up some of my experiences - as cofounder, or as an advisor - into a post on the key questions I see [1].

The big one that gets overlooked is the Behavioural preferences - appetite for Risk, are you a Manager or a Maker, etc. The commercial opportunity and personal passions may align, but when something goes wrong are you going to respond in similar ways or will your cofounder start making decisions 'on their own' [2]?

Theres no such thing as "plagiarized" interior design. Certain elements (like a painting) could be plagiarized or reproductions of photos or wall artwork could be a copyright violation, but the overall design and "look and feel" isn't really afforded any copyright protection. Same with things like recipes. If you can figure out how someone makes their "secret sauce" you are free to produce and sell it at will. Trademarks and such are afforded protection, but the food product itself is not.
Well do they not get re encode once in a while? I am pretty sure the x264 encoder now is significantly better then the one 3 - 4 years ago.

The US has been anti-immigrant for pretty much it's entire history. Whether you were Irish, Polish, Chinese, Catholic, Mexican, Jewish, Muslim, whatever - at some point, a vocal group of Americans didn't want you to come here.
But people came anyway. And they made it work. I can't think of any other country on Earth that is as diverse as the US.
Another historical note, within a locality it was almost always the case that only every other broadcast channel was used, e.g. 2-4-6-8... or 3-5-7-9... to reduce interference from adjacent channels.

That's why old VCRs, DVD players, home computers, and other devices that used an RF modulator to connect to a TV display could typically be set to transmit on channel 3 or channel 4, because one of those was almost always unused in a given area.
I'd assume the rules are the same in principle but you would be more likely to be considered autonomous in practice if audited. Also because you're probably providing your own equipment, office etc.

I actually did this for a while - self-employed in NO, only customer in NL. After a while I had more than one customer, making the issue moot :-)

You're right, of course. However, the various explanations are suited to different audiences. An aerospace engineer knows everything she needs to know about all of these tools, so she just uses whatever is best suited to a particular situation. For explanation to a general audience who know about force and momentum because they've already seen Newton in other situations, why even bring up "pressure"? I suspect this came about when some dumbass said "well everyone knows about pressure because car tires".
Agree, it could be worst. We have Jira bug tracking, Confluence and Jira Agile. Confluence is great, no more sharepoint, we just put all our documentation there. Jira Agile is simply awful, the UI/UX is non-intuive and super hard to understand. That product is definitely there for the enterprise world who is drinking the Agile kool-aid.

We started using gitlab at work, sadly we dont track issues in there, but still rely on Jira Agile. GitLab would be a great acquisition for Atlasian.

I've used Blendle and kind of like it, but I wonder what its effect on newspapers will be. The model of paying per article encourages clickbait. Their way of countering this is that you have the option to get a refund if you thought the article sucked, but that will probably only be effective against the most obvious forms. If it's a bit more subtle, this tactic can still be very effective.

This is incorrect. A wing can impart momentum to air even in the absence of viscosity. However, the optimal wing shape is different. For an example of a wing that moves air "down" without viscosity, look at turbomolecular vacuum pumps:

So if I'm understanding this right, they proved that you can't calculate the bandgap of some class of systems of arbitrary size in any predetermined finite period of time, right? I guess when you really think about it, the opposite finding would be much more surprising. (That you could calculate the bandgap of any system of any size in some finite time period, however large).

Don't be disheartened at [1]. All of the leadership for "his" party came out of the woodwork to condemn his rhetoric. They will now coalesce around a more acceptable candidate. Note he has only had about 25% of 1/2 of the voters. Or about 12.5% total. He will fall and be opposed exactly for this. No matter what your political party just about everyone in the US understands freedom of religion is a foundation (except that one, now obviously, fringe candidate).

My suspicion is that someone who's smart, engaged and motivated enough to have figured out a way to be able to say they're a Swift contributor by fixing typos is probably in the top 10% of candidates anyway.
And of course that is balancing on the assumption that only the US has people capable of building such software.
My experience also suggests that this is the real issue. Someone has to make a decision on which solution to use for their "agile" development workflow, but this someone doesn't understand that they are actually purchasing a product with a constrained, predefined version of agile. Even though it is somewhat flexible it doesn't perfectly map onto this person's version of agile and so, since they've already paid the licensing fees and gone through the office politics of getting buy in or stuffing it down the users throats, they don't want to admit that either their version of agile could be tweaked or that they should have licensed different software. So then, the mess begins. At every turn square pegs are forced into round holes and workflows are misused with consequences that are not immediately evident. A year down the road and everyone is frustrated. You'd be better off using an excel workbook. Now you have to explain to everyone you onboard why your version of agile is so much better than other versions and warranted creating this monstrosity which they must figure out how to use without documentation (which is useless at this point) and without frustrating their new coworkers with too many questions about the arbitrary nature of their system, which they hate and had shoved down their throats.

I definitely agree with everything else you just said. I'm a Swiss citizen, Swiss born and raised, US educated, but my parents are not from Switzerland, and my name is not Swiss. I look as European as anybody else.

I couldn't even get a data entry job in Switzerland dammit. The US companies where asking for relocation, and if remote only at a 3-4x lower salary. I can't stand the US car culture (I'm a walkable city guy) so relocation was not an option for me.

Ended up doing a startup in my parent's home country. Fully bootstrapped, great revenue, great quality of life. 10-15% income tax.

With global health insurance, superb quality of life, walkable cities, cheap everything, no discrimination against you... Why would anybody want to move to the EU or US nowadays?
I am, naively thinking, may be we have hit the wall of single threaded performance, Skylake wasn't that much difference, even though i believe with some compiler optimisation and recompiling some software may get another 10% benefits.

We could run at higher clock frequency, but CPU will heat up.

And when most of the world don't need high performance PC any more, may be AMD do stand a chance this time around. As long as ZEN is within 10 - 15% of Intel's performance. They have lots of head room to work in the Server CPU sector. And their APU in the lower end.

The problem with AMD is they have never been good with execution, so while even on paper Zen is good, AMD will likely mis position their product, fail to market it, or likely fxxked up by GF production issues.
The aviation community appreciates the importance of robust/utilitarian/minimal transmission of information. Look at the format of TAFs and METARs for instance, the raw format of how the weather data is actually transmitted.

It's incomprehensible to the layman because there is an extreme economy of transmitted data. To decode it you have to know a fairly large vocabulary of domain specific symbols and do some computations to retrieve the correct wind speed and direction, which are encoded.

This is so you can always get your weather, one byte at a time if needed.

Everything can be an 'evil thing'. A hammer, encryption, a laptop and an email client can be 'evil things'. So if everything can be an 'evil thing' the conclusion should be there are no 'evil things' only evil activities perpetrated by (probably) evil people.

> I think people here are seeing one or the other side and not realizing that Comey is aware of both.

I don't think it is possible to see one or the other side, I think in this case there are no 'sides' to be on. The cat is out of the bag, it won't go back in and any time wasted on this subject is time that would be more productively spent elsewhere. Just like gunpowder and nuclear weapons can't be un-invented (and those are a lot more skewed towards being 'evil things' and yet even gunpowder has good uses (explosives used for road building) and we've seen some proposals for PNE's (not that that ever worked)).

If you want encryption to be an evil thing by extension math is an evil thing.

This one really gets me, because no on ever believes its in the rules until I get them out and point it out.

> Whenever you land on an unowned property you may buy that property from the Bank at its printed price. You receive the Title Deed card showing ownership. Place the title deed card face up in front of you. If you do not wish to buy the property, the Bank sells it at through an auction to the highest bidder. The high bidder pays the Bank the amount of the bid in cash and receives the Title Deed card for that property.
> Any player, including the one who declined the option to buy it at the printed price, may bid. Bidding may start at any price.

From http://richard_wilding.tripod.com/monorules.htm#buyingproper...

That rule alone completely changes the dynamic of Monopoly, transforming it from a dirge like plod around the board desperately hoping you'll roll the right number for the property you want, into a game in which people will near bankrupt themselves to buy a property they don't want an opponent to pick up.
I can see it being a difficult decision for you to make there, given that apparently that is a real business name. But that combined with the title "Growth Engineer" just really makes it look like a pyramid scheme or other scam.
It's a tough one but you don't really know until you start working together.

One thing that's been important is communication and openness. Trust that you're going to be upfront with each other. Otherwise, the issues can't come out and be dealt with. Instead, they get buried away until one day it blows up in your face.

Author here: I appreciate your comments!

A few notes:

Muslims make up somewhere between 4% and 12% of all legal immigrants. When you include illegal inflows, falls to between 2% and 9%. I derive these estimates based on country-of-origin data for legal permanent residents, so there's a wide error band, as we don't know exactly how many from a given country are actually of a specific religion.

I'd also note that I focused on Arabic due to current controversies--- but Chinese or Indian languages are of course way more important. These groups are a large and growing share of immigrants. Just didn't seem germane to focus on them.

Regarding German and Gaelic groups today, yes, there are some, but people routinely speaking non-English, European languages other than Spanish are probably a smaller share than in the past wave of immigrants. Don't know for sure though.

Regarding integration: no, Germans and Irish were NOT easier to integrate. That's nonsense. Intra-European animosity was intense and real, far more intense than what modern Americans feel towards Muslims. Suspicion of Catholics puts current suspicion of Islam to shame. The idea that Europeans were easier to integrate is, in my opinion, a hindsight bias.
I didn't knew they even existed, but what exactly do you expect? No one is impenetrable, not even CERN.

Yeah, O(1) or O(1B) is the same. However, 1B is o(0.01 * (age of the company)), even though the sun will have exploded before a company who's revenue is 1 cents * its age reach 1B.
They stopped licensing the interfaces used to connect to the different parts together (north bridge <-> south bridge and north bridge <-> CPU) starting with Nehalem (first generation of Core i[N] processors).

This effectively meant that if you wanted to build a mainboard for Intel CPU's, you had to buy the chipsets from Intel as well.

Before that, you could buy mainboards with ATI (Xpress), nVidia (nForce), or VIA chipsets. All of these could integrate different SATA contollers, audio chips, USB busses, etc.

By not licensing their interfaces, Intel basically took over almost all of that market by locking others out of it. I believe they could only do this because they had no real competition from AMD anymore in the CPU market.
I find it quite normal for a small shop (I don't know the size of Tumult) to try to limit the number of platforms they wish to support. If they use Mac tools for development they will most probably me more efficient supporting the Mac.

Also, single platform toolkits are just so much nicer to use compared to those working on multiple platforms.
