The NMC is a hidden gem. They let you pay a reduced entry fee to see the Heath Robinson machine and Colossus (which is what everyone visiting Bletchley Park wants to see). I've always thought that was a shame because so many people don't get to see the rest of the museum (which is mad, and brilliant).
But there's a difference between "production ready" and "customer ready" which Agile practitioners sometimes seem to forget.

In many businesses, software is not the core business, you're not building software for yourself, you're building it for other stakeholders. It's not acceptable to say "Well it only does 20% of what you wanted".

What happens when things start to slip, so in fact you won't have something the business thinks it can present at christmas? "Don't worry, we'll just keep working on it until it's ready" after having spent 6 months on it isn't good enough.

It's not a bad thing to do a lot of estimating up front so the business can make an informed decision about whether it really wants to commit to the effort, rather than finding out during all the sprints about the growing effort required to get it to where the customer or internal stakeholder is happy.
It looks nice. Good luck with it. As with all audio hosting services, after a moderate amount of success you will surely find yourself on the radar of the anti-piracy agencies. I hope you are well prepared and can overcome this challenge.
What change in attitude is going to stop sex-deprived men from acquiring what they are programmed to want more than anything else?

This statement is profoundly insulting to the billions of men who have enough self-control every day not to destroy another person's bodily integrity and dignity to fulfil a temporary need. Just because some people cannot control themselves to obey the law and common respect does not suggest that their attitude is normal or cannot be changed.

There's a similar argument used in certain conversations about rape to the effect that you wouldn't dangle a tasty slice of bacon in front of a dog and expect him not to jump for it. While that might be true of feral dogs, I've known many domesticated dogs who are capable of even that degree of self control, and I absolutely would not apply the same metaphor to humans, or otherwise suggest that we are incapable of distinguishing ourselves from feral animals in the face of certain desires. We're better than that, and for you to suggest otherwise is abhorrent.
I used to as well, until I started to refuse to do it. It truly is in the best interest of the customer to work this way, and I explain it to them. The ones that understand it and buy into this way of working are the ones I work with.
Often restated as "by building rather than buying this tech, we get competitive advantage". Rarely true, IMHO, but it keeps developers off the streets, so who am I to complain?

Er, sorry, implicitly was talking about fundamental particles.

IIRC we do know where protons get their mass. The internal color field has some energy, thus some mass, which comes from that field interacting with Higgs.
Agreed. As an engineer, I can also claim that if I say "we can deliver that March 15th", then I get a argument about why can't it go out with the Feb 28th release and why is it going to take 30 days to do something simple and why ... all because marketing people can't understand delivery cycles.

So, let's just not have that type of conversation at all.

Absolutely this, clients need to know their costs upfront.

Meanwhile, I've been on the other side, working with a shop that insisted they were agile, and so refused to give an upfront cost.

That project ended up delivering a substandard project where key parts did not work well. Their answer was to tell us they would of course be happy to be paid for another 2 week sprint to fix those bugs...

As a customer it wasn't very satisfying.

You don't need to be in the US to trade USD. FX is more lightly regulated than almost all other asset classes. For most of the cold war there was a strong trade in USD based out of London-based banks that had no US presence. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eurodollar

> You can't really compare costs of managed funds and ETFs.

You seem to be conflating management style with how something is traded. ETF just means it is traded on an exchange. An ETF can be actively managed. And a mutual fund can be passively managed.
Really interesting, seems like copyright is the main problem. No-one had thought about that then, or the possibility of making the whole thing universally accessible on the internet rather than sitting it in an archive.
The profits go to the owner, whatever that is. The employees chose the company (and implicitly the ownership structure) when they began employment. It's not like citizenship where one is born into the situation and the contract is mythical; they had to sign one.

Do you not believe in the sanctity of property rights?
In the past, 10% of regugees were employed after a year, 50% after 5 years, 70% after 15 years[0]. So it takes a while, unsurprisingly, but your predicitions are not borne out in reality. Of course extrapolating from past experience is just an approximation, so it might take longer; on the other hand there are probably ways to speed up the process.

Actually, the metaphor is pretty good, except they missed a key change: in real life if the "test painting" shows you need to "prime first" you now have no idea how long it will take without starting the estimation process all over again.

So, in real life, paint the room is "2 days or, if the test painting goes badly on day one, I'm not sure and won't know until the end of day 1". And people don't like those kinds of estimates.
I am sorry; what I wrote was not correct.

What I meant was: The influx of refugees will strech the public finances.

How much and whether "welcoming refugees eventually will turn out to be a good investment" is deeply controversial and so politicized that it is very hard to have a reasonable conversation about it.

However I think it is fair to say that taking in refugees costs money in the short term.

Entirely false. Foreign banks received plenty of US bailout funds for their US activities. See for example: http://www.newstatesman.com/2010/12/financial-british-money-... - british banks alone took 640 billion in aid from the fed.

I realize this is the site for this but news flow has been growing more generic, diverting from original how I got first 100 users etc.
Ah yes, the monthly link to an article about intelligent/gifted children and the troubles their talents cause them, leading to all the self-proclaimed gifted HNers coming out of the woodwork declaiming "Me too! Me too! Finally someone who understands me!".

Not dismissing the article itself, but it's definitely a pattern on HN.
I don't think working fixed price quote would have given you a different outcome though? The team produced bad quality product, fixed cost or agile won't change that.

Selecting the team to build the product on price is often a bad idea, and that's all fixed cost gives you above agile (the ability to select on price).

A fixed cost makes it easier to turn and around not pay (in whole or part) if the product is really not up to the standard specified. It's harder to do that if the cost is not fixed but overrunning and the response is "well we just need more time".

Also fwiw, the team wasn't selected on price.

I assume by VSTAX you mean VTSAX? That is on there as the ETF version is VTI. And institutional versions of the fund are not ETFs... they are only available to institutions, and for the .02% rate, you need to invest 100MM, which is the opposite of being exchange traded.
Thanks for the heads up. We're rebuilding some infrastructure now. We would have defaulted to building on 14.04, but this gives us reason to switch to 15.10. That's a change I've been wanting to make for a long time anyways, but I was waiting for 16.04 LTS. Yesterday a major portion of our site was down for a few minutes because an `service nginx reload` silently failed because upstart had lost track of the process. I assume that sort of thing wouldn't happen with systemd because it uses cgroups.
Yeah, tell that dirty lazy Greek to get back to work. They deserve every bit of what happened to them and the debt won't pay by itself.

Such a banking fiasco would never happen in a country filled with precise, punctual, hard-working and responsible light beings such as Germany.

> The diagnosis criteria for most mental illnesses include that the patient is negatively affected by their specific symptoms.

Even if this were true (which it isn't) the psychiatrist can always argue that the fact that someone else doesn't like the symptoms negatively affects the patient and therefore he is ill.

Circular reasoning like this is common practice.
Go for model instead of super model. The aesthetic difference is negligible, and i'd guess the egos, on average are smaller.
If there's an unsolved problem, it's going to pop up every so often. I think this is normal given the level of urgency.

That is not normal is our inability to fix it and apparent lack of trying.
Indeed. It's totally irrational, most of the doctors I know aren't that smart. Yes, they're very good in the area of their specialism, but more often than not they let their extreme expertise in one area cloud their judgements/abilities in other areas. I've had clinicians telling me how long they think it should take to develop a feature in our app for example. Even if they were an expert in software development (which none are) then it's still very arrogant to assume knowledge of our system and how we developed it.

Obviously this is a blanket statement, I'm sure this doesn't characterise every clinician. But I have seen this a lot.
Almost no support for the thesis of "bad things will happen if we wipe out mosquitoes" other than "We don't know what will happen."

On the flip side, we do know what will happen if the Aedes aegypti, Anopheles, etc... is allowed to continue to exist - 100s of thousands of people a year will die.

I wonder how the author would feel about keeping mosquitoes around "just in case", if hundreds of thousands of her neighbors were dying every year.

And guess what, if, for some very, very bizarre reason it turns out that Aedes aegypti/Anopheles was a super important species, there is zero difficulty in breeding and releasing billions of them back into the wild in very short order.

Haha .. That's actually a thoughtful, albeit rhetorical, question. ;)

No, I am fine with alligators walking the planet. I admit, my initial response is a bit stupid. The point I am trying to make is that a.) new technology brings new dangers and b.) there will be people who would like to use these as a weapon (for fun, to terrorize, to make a statement ...)

It would be stupid to outright deny new technology because of this. However you should be informed (learn about all the pros and cons) when deciding on whether or not to adapt a technology.

For instance, so many things have become painful (for good or bad reasons) for the sake of countering terrorism. So why go through all the trouble to finally just offer new toys to the bad boys?

I don't mean everything that can be used as a weapon (which is literally everything) should be forbidden but I don't see a serious debate about the benefits and perils of self driving cars and thus I don't think decision makers can make an informed decision.

Why only one 5.25" slot?
Why I can not control what you mean:

1. Not much free time to code besides job, family and life.

2. Not possible while coding at work. That stuff is just too random and boring to be exciting.

So I suppose to induce "productive mania" you could:

1. Get big chunks of free time.

2. Do stuff you are excited about. Do them because You want to and not because of some other goal (like getting money, attention, rewards etc.).

I manage to get that for very small scripts that I program in order to get some small things done for me personally. Those things (I hesitate to call them tasks or projects) are always done quick, work like a charm and do exactly what I need. It gives me a good feeling.

We've switched to Debian Jessie over 14.04 a few months back for systemd and more up-to-date dependencies too. I'm not much of a sysadmin guy (developer-turned-Ansibleman), but our experience with systemd has been amazing so far for managing our sockets, PHP pools and webservers. Much smoother than anything we've had before.

We've prepared for this problem too. Our SSL termination is handled on a completely independent server that basically just forwards requests to internal application servers, and it's completely stateless. This way we can just set up a new one on a less-stable distribution (we're experimenting with Debian Stretch) and switch once we find it stable enough to do just that. It means we can reap the benefits of possibly unstable HTTP/2 without affecting our stable application/storage stack.
Debian, Ubuntu, RedHat, SuSE and a multitude of Linux distributions are doing just fine.

In fact, you can package up your own .rpm or .deb and still install the software. But the likelihood of needing to do so is very, very small. And not only that, but it's extremely easy to see what those packages are made of - you just unzip and untar them and look at the metadata files and scripts.

So yeah, not only do I want to live in that world, I already do.

In fact, so do other Windows users - if they use OneGet or chocolatey. And many, many corporate users also live in that world as software is deployed via SSIS or just bog standard Active Directory.
I do the same, except they give me an updated priority list every month, and once the priority for the month are set they cannot be changed. Misc. fixes are done eating up the time from the low priority features.

It removes me and my team from the losing proposition of agreeing to get something done before any other thing, as nothing of value can come from that discussion. And anyone who tries gets immediately redirected to the wiki page for the next month feature list, which opens one week before the iteration starts, by which time we know which feature will be complete and which will get back in queue.
The first person to spot that signal at SETI will sleep well for a few nights. Plus, the names of the parties in the article have Rocky IV vibes.
I think that idea that people who like to classify and name things are dull and unimaginative is a part of the discussed problem.

Merkel buying new shoe laces costs money in the short term. You have just repeated your claims from the original post without clearing up what you mean by stretching public finances and documenting it with numbers. Everybody else is basically saying that the refugees aren't expensive enough to warrant this language on the balance sheet of one of the richer economies in the world.
A) You need to build up to capacity, so you've got a multi-billion dollar fund already by that point that is charging low fees and presumably doing very well. You just close it to new business until outflows make space.

B) You can win major plaudits by lowering client fees. Guess what - when investment performance inevitably goes through a bad patch the client will stay with a manager they like for a lot longer than one they don't. That gives you time to recover performance and avoid a yo-yo effect.

If your manager is telling you that you need to pay high fees because they're popular you are being ripped off.
You can download .deb files for everything, and they work great.
I'm not convinced disease is inherently bad for a species. Sure it's bad for the poor individual that catches it, but who knows what the total net sum gain/loss is. For all we know the net result could be a higher rate of extinctions as species end up with overall weaker immune systems.

Your argument is specious. You should seriously stop using it. As for the LSB, that hasn't stopped distributions in any way, shape or form. Debian got rid of their LSB meta-package because they didn't need it.

As you probably know very well, there must have been similar arguments when they killed off birds in China during the cultural revolution... :-)

(Sure, you can breed mosquitoes quickly, but what happens until the birds or something else which used to eat them breeds back into reasonable numbers? I don't know, you don't know. That is just one unknown.)

I'm not really arguing, I do agree that people have precedence over bugs. But changes like these have bad precedents. And a catastrophe here might make changes in some other place politically impossible, with even worse results.

It is taxed at 40%, so it's an inherent -1.2% interest rate. Otherwise you're spot on.

The "huurwaardeforfait" is just a handy political fiction to get more taxes from home owners, who are subsidized a lot because mortgage interest is deductable. It was probably politically easier to get a law for a new tax through parliament than to lower the mortgage deduction at th etime.

Asking the question what should the 'top 1%' pay is (in my opinion) the wrong question.

A better start (for me) is to ask what % of tax the people with the (for example) top 50% of income, or top 50% of wealth, should pay.

If the top 1% has (for example) 90% of the income, then only paying 50% of the tax might be considered unfair.

And don't talking about the moral lessons they gave us. But ohh, the German banks are exactly the same as the other ones
