Ideally a product manager solves or assists with many of those problems-

1. Reduce the ambiguity of what features to work on and what are the priorities. This involves being the barrier from other manager and team members trying to pull a fast on and changing what should be worked on.
2. Stay on top of what the latest estimates are in an honest and transparent way. Product managers as project managers should be able to translate what a particular developer says into what estimation might be in reality. They can acquire or release resources, or even change scope accordingly or at least make the case.
3. Product managers should provide developers a constant opportunity to break down tasks into components that can be tracked easily in Asana or another task management tool. This takes discipline as a product manager to enforce a system onto developers in ways that make sense.

Unity has garbage collection at the userland/scripting level. This is markedly different from garbage collection at, say, the level of the objects that marshal and keep tabs on your OpenGL resources. (Not least because--though AFAIK Unity does not do this--you can stop the world for GC only at the scripting layer rather than taking out your rendering, sound output, etc. as a side effect.)

If you think VCs more likely to accept their investment turning into a non-profit than public market investors, then you've never interacted with stock investors.

Twitter trying to turn into a non-profit would lead to a class action lawsuit for breach of fiduciary duty. Guaranteed. (If they even got that far without the board and CEO getting replaced.)
The difference is that Vanguard is owned by it's customers so the low fees are transferring wealth from the consumers back to the consumers while (allegedly illegally) lowering their tax bill.

Its actually very useful, although very weak. The link layer check, at least in the case of Ethernet, really only protects your data "on the wire". It doesn't protect it inside the switches. It turns out there are failure modes, such as the one that caused this issue, where the packets get corrupted inside the switch (probably due to bad RAM). Details about how this can happen: http://www.evanjones.ca/tcp-and-ethernet-checksums-fail.html

After this kernel bug was fixed, the TCP checksum did its job and discarded all the corrupt packets.
Well, I wasn't outraged before, but I have to admit that I may be feeling a touch of outrage now.

The "mangling" of speech to be politically correct and the "muffling" of open and honest communications that some of us are asking for is just this: changing "score something 'out of your league'" to, e.g., "meet someone 'out of your league.'" I'm not sure why people see this as so hard to swallow.

There may be someone "trolling for a response by feigning outrage" in this conversation, but I don't think it's GP.

The part about plastics being useless to recycle actually makes a lot of sense, if you live in a place where trash is incinerated for electricity or heat, and you have oil-powered electricity. Making virgin plastic from the oil you saved by burning plastic trash in its stead is better/cheaper/more energy fficient than recycling the plastic trash.

Aluminium is always extremely cost-effective to recycle, because making aluminium from bauxite requires enormous amounts of electricity, but re-smelting aluminium containers is cheap.

I'm surprised that glass was not cost-effective to recycle according to the article. I thought that since it's generally easy to sort and re-smelt, it's be all good. But maybe the raw materials are so cheap that it outweighs the cost of recycling?

A lot of folks responded to this by talking about how Netflix asks ISPs to put caches in the ISP locations.

That is true but it's not the point.

Netflix runs a large CDN on their own infrastructure, and rents space in various datacenters.

They "peer" from these locations to distribute their traffic, and they also buy transit to distribute their traffic. They also send traffic to ISP caches from these locations.

So they are running their own data centers, in many locations.

Please elaborate on what you consider "solid dating advice" and why.
I am skeptical of pretty much all analyses of recycling and environmentalism that start from a primarily economic angle. The main problem being is that (obviously!) economic forces have driven us into the situation in the first place. The market supports overproduction, overpackaging and oversupply. All of those are economic activity that is marked in the "good" column by governments and societies.

Ultimately, lowering the production of a good used by people is a reduction in economic activity. Reduce, reuse, and recycle means less economic activity, but not less wealth. Until we realize this, we are destined to pursue policies that are bad for the environment and waste resources.
> the lie that the rich benefit disproportionately from our society

Why do you consider that a lie? There's a reason why kidnappers try to target rich people's kids... because rich people are willing to pay much more to gave their kid back - they literally value the kid's life more (in money terms).

Another perspective is, a geting injured/killed will deprive a rich person of a lot of consumption, but a poor person of just a little consumption. Therefore, by protecting rich people, governments provide more value than by protecting poor people.

> Now personally, I'm in favor of eliminating all taxes on capital income (and capital, e.g. property taxes). Economically, the best tax is a consumption tax; you live in a home, you pay taxes on the value of living in it. No property tax, no income tax, etc.

What about income tax? What about corporate tax (personally, I think it makes sense, because it's a choice - you don't need to pay corporate tax, but they you don't get the privileges of the corporation being a separate entity)?
They responded in the original HN thread saying basically that.
One of the fundamental issues is that upper management sees estimates as bell curves as though 50% of the time a project may finish early. In reality, very few projects on time, let alone early. No one wants to hear about reducing scope but at the same time an MVP that solves the customer problem without feature creep should be evangelized within organizations. In reality, schedule follow more of an exponential function where slippage time goes from bad to worse very quickly as resources/scope/schedule snowball very quickly. Things get scrapped before we see this in practice.
This article seems to lean heavily on the argument "if the law said this, it would have bad consequences; therefore, the law doesn't say this", complementary to the popular argument "this thing is bad, therefore this thing is illegal / unconstitutional".
The other thing is that cryptography doesn't make a conversation completely private forever.

I remember a conference where old crypto algorithms were mentioned. Unbreakable in the 80s or 90s but now trivial to decipher. The speaker implied that both Russia and the US would have carefully recorded and stored all of each other's communication and that we can bet that the content of these communications is still interesting today, not just for their historical interest.

We live old. Much older than the technologies we use. Now our gvt is doing to us what they would only do to foreign embassies.

Consumption does in fact help create inflation thereby reducing real wages and fooling prideful workers [1] into returning to the workforce. In the US we are currently at full employment so this is not actually beneficial.

In the long run investment - i.e. devoting resources to increasing future productivity - is what is needed. To clarify the distinction, investment is research in self driving cars while consumption is driving an existing car.

[1] Prideful workers (the villains in Keynesian economics) are the people who refuse to accept work at a lower nominal wage than what they previously earned. Instead, they sit on their asses enjoying funemployment.
To be fair, any company intentionally changing it's database before a public "snapshot" in order to gain public favor (and avoid possible litigation) is worth calling out as dishonest. So it's not really about NYC, it's about Airbnb.
A lot of large companies also run things like websense, which has a MITM and fake root certs at it's core so it can decide if you're looking at company approved content.
Github is a large bloated organization that's slow to move, more news at 6.

I don't see how it should shock anyone that its taken Github 29 days to respond. Github can't move at the speed of say, an open source project with a hand full of contributors. They're a company of 100s of people. And the larger an organization is, the harder it gets to make a decision about anything, because more people have to agree. In this case, they have to agree about how to respond to open criticism while saving PR face, which is a difficult task.

I'm fairly confident that the stink this whole Dear Github thing has raised will result in positive changes of some kind, but let's be real, Github is still just a corporation that faces a lot of the same problems other corporations face. They're probably scrambling to get a whole bunch of people to agree on what it is they should do.

The 3rd, 4th, and 5th amendments say otherwise. While you're right in the narrow implication-following sense, you're wrong in the general big-picture sense. Similar to how the 4th amendment was broken with mass adoption of the automobile, and the 6th/7th were broken by commercial law (have you ever been able to get a jury trial for a speeding ticket?)

In the past, ephemeral day-to-day communications were not accessible to the courts, because they were carried out face to face. These days, those same communications are carried out electronically. Similarly with storage - due to the complexity brought on by computers, there is simply much more to correctly remember in today's world, necessitating the use of auxiliary storage for one's brain.

The attack on encryption is a direct attack on whether individuals' computers should function as their personal agents (akin to lawyer and priest professional confidentiality), or whether individuals are prevented from personally wielding the amplifying power of computation and left at the mercy of powerful groups who do.

But that happens to be true and easily verified. If you're bright, you're assured of the Asperger's diagnosis unless you insist on avoiding the company of psychologists, increasingly difficult in modern times. If you're gay, it was the same thing -- until the public demanded that psychologists stop handing out mental illness diagnoses to gay people.

The history of psychology is punctuated with examples in which obviously appropriate behavior was falsely labeled as evidence of disease, including the infamous example of "drapetomania" -- slaves who ran away from their masters were obviously mentally broken and in need of professional help to reunite them with their owners.

Psychologists don't wait for people to appear and ask for help -- they issue press releases announcing the discovery of yet another imaginary ailment from which many are claimed to be suffering in silence. Example:

> a foundational principle of our judicial system

You are sorely misguided if you believe a foundational principle of our judicial system is deliberate and systematic invasion of innocent citizens' private communications.

> no data center any country can build will ever so much as recover a single emoji from a single IM

This is fine and how it should be. Historically there has been no way to intercept communications on this level ever before - so why claim it's suddenly necessary now? Especially since all of it has amounted to exactly nothing thus far...

This analogy has been beaten to death - but the parallels are almost exact when compared to Stasi Secret Police steaming open citizens hand-written letters for inspection... As others have already mentioned, one of the driving forces behind our nation was desire for private communications that the government didn't have entitled and unrestricted access to.
With those two data points, what keeps you in the Netherlands?
I think the big difference between the 1700s and today that seems unacknowledged in your post is that most communication happened face to face and was not documented for the government to intercept.

You and your wife could not be forced to testify against each other(Spousal privilege), but your private sms conversation absolutely could be. (What was possible as only a private conversation is now easily sent across the world, and as a consequence is sniffed and stored by potentially many parties.)

This is not a surprise for anyone who understands that they are sent in plain text, but from the context of people, those conversations would still be considered private communications between spouses.

I am not saying the law gives a shit about the distinction, but persons absolutely do. I hope you now understand the sentiment a bit more.
I've never heard anyone describe a relationship as being 'out of their league'.

I'm not saying waterfall is a good alternative. Waterfall is just as shitty as Agile, but one benefit is that wastes less of everyone's time with meetings and busywork. But waterfall is equally guilty of a one-size-fits-all mentality, from the opposite view of Agile, and this cookie-cutter property is what makes both methods attractive to bureaucracies.

I'm a fan of common sense. If it's clear in a given team and project context that two week sprints, story points, and frequent meetings are really going to help, then just do it. And when that stops working, just switch and do something else. When architects or researchers are telling you a given project direction needs to slow down for some more intensive piloting research, do it and don't hesitate to violate sacred Scrum principles.

This stuff should be figured out organically, based on the given project and given personnel. Never with a fixed mandate to a single prescribed method or time frame.
Just a note--this is a requirement for Meaningful Use stage 2, which means it's pretty much the case everywhere these days. (And it's Epic, not EPIC.)

Oh, the classic "HR" response. "We're very busy here".

Well, if they truly have "more imporant things to do than address community ire", then this also means that they agree to take the community's ire.
I don't think that what was established 3 centuries ago, when the world was completely different, should necessarily hold true today, regardless of the best intentions at the time. The only method of recording facts at the time was by writing it on paper.

Given technology evolution, we must constantly re-evaluate what is still legitimate and should be transposed to today and what is off-limits.

Let me give you what is (for us today) a ridiculous example to prove my point: imagine that in a couple hundred years, it becomes possible to scan anyone's brain with some sort of machine and determine what a person is thinking about?

It's simple you just need a leverage scale.

I haven't monitored the traffic from my iPhone to test, but most cell phones get their time from the cell towers as they have to be in sync.
Here is another Linux TCP horror story: An application I'm working on was experiencing slow database query performance under "load" [1]. Restarting the database temporarily "fixed" the issue, only to reappear again after a short time.

Luckily I was able to recreate the problem in a test environment (our secondary backup cluster) allowing me to study it. What I found was that I could reliably send the database cluster in a "bad state" by sending a burst of > ~200 concurrent requests to it. After this, I observed a bi-modal response time distribution with some requests completing quickly as expected (<10ms) and some taking much longer (consistently ~6s for one particular request). My initial instinct was to blame the database, but some SYN Cookie flood warnings in the kernel logs caused me to consider the network as well.

So I started using tcpdump and Wireshark to go deeper and found the following: The burst of traffic from the application also caused a burst of traffic between the database cluster nodes which were performing some sort of result merging. To make things worse, the inter-node requests of the database cluster were using http, which meant a lot of connections were created in the process. Some of these connections were interpreted as a SYN flood by the Linux kernel, causing it to SYN-ACK them with SYN cookies. Additionally, these connections would get stuck with very small TCP windows (as low as 53 bytes), and also suffer from really high ACK latencies (200ms), so a 1600 byte inter-node http request wound up taking 6s! Disabling SYN cookies "fixed" the issue (and so did increasing somaxconn, but that's effectively the same), but despite my best effort, I was unable to understand why SYN cookies should impact the TCP window.

To make this even more mysterious, this problem only occurred in one of our data centers, and we narrowed it down to the router being the only difference. Replacing the router also "fixed" the issue.

I wish my team had the resources and expertise to debug problems like this down to the kernel, but I was too far out of my depth trying to understand the gnarly code the makes up the Linux TCP Syn Cookie and Congestion Control implementation ... : (.

Anyway, I'm posting this in the vague hope that somebody may have seen something similar before, or becomes inspired to go on kernel bug hunt :).

Additionally this experience gave me a new appreciation for TCP/IP and how amazing it is that is usually "just works" for me as an application developer. This is not to say that we can't improve upon it, but I think there is a lot to learn from the philosophy and approach that went into designing TCP/IP.

[1] By "load" I mean bursts of hundreds of concurrent http requests created due the application performing JOIN requests on behalf of the NoSQL database which doesn't provide this feature. My journey of replacing this database with one that's more suited for the task at hand is being written as we speak :).
