I'm 22 and paying for sex is a routine of mine. Most countries in Europe have it decriminalized and in some it's even regulated, thankfully.

Let's see, why I pay for sex?

1) I'm in the bottom 20% in attractiveness.
1.1) Tinder and real life take work.
1.2) Low market value -> Low value offers.
1.3) Return on investment is negative.
2) It's not that expensive
2.1) 60 euros -> top 10% for 30 minutes
2.2) Time and effort. Better write python a couple hours.
3) Selection
3.1) Age, physical characteristics, services, "personality"..
3.2) There are forums/webpages with reviews by other customers.
4) Not interested in relationships.
4.1) I don't even know in which country I'm going to live next year.
4.2) I expect to do that when older.

I haven't been with a woman that didn't had other options or was being trafficked. Or at least I think so.
The experiences vary but were mostly good, certainly better than randomly hooking up in a party. It's not a solution if you have emotional needs though, or at least not a good one. But if you want to relax and live/play a little, paid sex is a solid yes.

Just because you might find the experience mundane or meaningless and you may not be able to fathom why anyone would willfully use such a product doesn't mean that the users are being exploited. It's very condescending and offensive when you compare casual users of a social network that you may not like to real exploitation through chemical dependence or abuse.
What kind of argument is this? Of course it is what FB wants, but this doesn't automatically make something bad.

Tons of services have "log in with Facebook" features. Last I checked, Tinder required a Facebook account. I wonder if those logins are included?
I think this is the scenario that has me feeling warm and fuzzy about vendoring. Sure, eventually even vendored dependencies will become stale, but I don't have to rely on a package manager past the initial delivery. It's not perfect, but I don't sweat code disappearing from a black box I don't own.
By all reports ("cabal hell"), Cabal is unpredictable, and Go's dependency management problems prompted countless external tools until the recent vendoring work: with the default `go get`, there is no guarantee that a build will be the same from day to day, as the best one can do is point at a given branch of a repository (a moving target), not tags or commits.

(I have no idea on CL's dependency management situation, maybe it is even better than Rust's, in which case it would be amazing.)
But why are those mistakes made? Radiation?
Right, but as I stated above that debate is out of scope. I'm just disputing the notion that fostering addiction amounts to "creating value."
"giving people choice" = "giving people the choices we made"

This sort of doublespeak is not restricted to Microsoft. About "choice" and freedom/personalisation in general, Mozilla is the other one that comes to mind with this amazing article:

>-They can't have any unforeseen issues op recalls crop up with the Model S or Model X.

This is a service issue, not production. Tesla has weathered recalls before. Of course an expensive major recall could delay their capex investment, but it's in no way true that any unforeseen issues will cause a delay.

>- They battery factory has to come online without a hitch.

The factory is already online. It will have to ramp production, and accordingly it's a major focus for the company.

>- The price of lithium and other rare earth minerals has to remain steady, I've heard that its very hard to hedge these prices due to a lack of counterparties willing to take on the risk

Lithium is not a rare earth metal, nor are any rare earth metals used in Tesla batteries. The price of lithium makes up a tiny percentage of the overall battery cost -- nickel and cobalt are both more significant cost drivers.

>- their rumored/china manufacturing plant has to come online smoothly

Not needed. Fremont can deliver 500,000 cars/year on its own.

>- and off course they need to be able to ramp up manufacturing on a car they've never produced

Which is why this is Tesla's other main focus.

The same can be said of any new product. Everything ever produced was "never produced"... until it was.

So... 2/5.
The trouble with waterfall is that it tries to predict beyond the scope of a sprint, which just isn't valid.

This assertion is nonsense. There's nothing magical about a couple of weeks such that it forms a boundary outwith lie impossible predictions. The validity of predictions depend entirely on the understanding of the problem domain and the complexity of the solution space.

The single biggest benefit from agile in theory, IMO, is controlling risk by getting the customer in front of the software sooner, so it can be iterated based on feedback. The primary risk being controlled is building the wrong thing. But you wouldn't develop e.g. an autonomous driving subsystem for a car that way.

Agile (scrum, specifically) in practice is too often used simply to chop large tasks into bite-size stories to be fed on a conveyer belt to a team of more or less replaceable programming cogs; the sprint scope keeps blinkers on everybody so they don't look too far in the future, they just keep munching through stories.

And when agile is used in this way, not only can it be demoralizing, but also extremely inefficient: a focus on user stories typically encourages building small features that involve narrow vertical slices through the stack of an application. That's hard to parallelize effectively - related stories will affect the same bits of code and cause conflicts. If you can bundle a bunch of related features together based on how they are likely to be implemented, you can slice them up horizontally, and implement the different layers separately, using things like APIs and data models at the boundaries. This paralellizes quite well at the team level.

It's still not great for software design. It's still a very blinkered approach; you're not going to design an application-specific framework that makes implementing features easy. It doesn't allow any space for experienced developers who have foresight, and relies on refactoring to create reusable domain-specific abstractions. But refactoring isn't a user story, and a team munching on stories isn't in a good position to think holistically about a problem.
China's online search market comes under scrutiny growing wildly
It is really easy to understand why Christianity abhors sex. Sex is the most private act we do as humans. If you can control how, when, and with whom you make sex, then you have huge control over the whole life of a person. That's why the Christian church is so adamant at defining what is good or bad in terms of sexual behavior.
I think what features this article is exactly what we see the one facet of agileness of its practitioner. The distortion of science and engineering methodology and practice. Before you do a big thing, you have to prove a bunch of small things work as the foundation. Any increment will not be linearly scalable. Finally, what you claim should be strengthened by your data, charts, plots that are verifiable by others.

I imagine those people with dependency issues that are using social networks to such an extent that it impacts their lives have deeper problems rather than just Facebook. Facebook probably benefits from heavy users, but every industry does (80/20 rule). I could be wrong, but I just don't believe that it can create those users through engineering their products. Although I do admit the service likely attracts those with addictive personalities. Honestly, there are a lot worse things one can be hooked to.

Or similar to drug combos, which must be certified as such.

Even if the individual drugs have their own certification, mixing them and packaging them together requires a new certification. Now of course, the new cert will rely heavily on the existing docs, so it's not like everything has to be re-proved again, but the interaction & effects thereof are scrutinized a bit more heavily.
> Oh? I'd love to see that compiling on a different operating system.

You'll note from the file paths in the blog post ("file:///Users/ykatz/...") that the builds are actually being run on a OSX machine: winapi is careful to not break builds when it is irrelevant.

It is possible and even necessary to write code that depends on operating system details (e.g. to implement the high-level cross-platform code), and indeed that code may not compile on different platforms. The point is that rustc and cargo together provide the tools to make it possible and easy to write code that builds and runs everywhere everywhere, they don't/can't/shouldn't guarantee it.
This assumes your encryption scheme is perfect and will be for the life of the secret. With 500MM it would take you a minute to move or spend it so you have to protect against someone getting the secret and being able to break it in 10 years or whatever.
CBC Report on “Internet” (1993)
I didn't have facebook all through college. A few years after I decided to get one and my social life blossomed. Now it's by far the most important piece of technology I use. I keep in touch with people all over the world - some who I met once in some distant country. So easy to hit up someone you haven't talked to in months. It's amazing
I'm with you, and I also don't want to breathe the halitosis-infused mist expelled by my coworkers. Seems reasonable to me to have some legislation on the books to require people who work in a shared workplace to brush their teeth.

Remote Desktop on Azure is a bit of a licensing nightmare. See this [1] old blog post:

Licensing costs for Remote Desktop Services (not Azure RemoteApp) is not built-in to the virtual machine pricing.

Global namespacing has nothing to do with that. Even with per-user namespacing, there's nothing to stop a user from making their username "nike" and publishing all their code under "nike/package-name", which would be subject to just as much potential legal action as a package named "nike" itself. Likewise there's also nothing to stop Bob from uploading "bob/nike".
> if I were Satoshi and wanted to remain anonymous,

That discounts the fact that nobody would be able to figure it out. You did though, and I've heard that theory before as well.

Then also unless real Satoshi issues a statement saying "I am not this guy", people will always keep an eye on this clown. Always watching his moves and suspecting him.

Now, maybe if he was the real Satoshi as your are claiming he should then issue a statement that he isn't. That'll surely misdirect things a bit. "We've heard right from Satoshi that this isn't Satoshi, so ok, just a crazy guy". But then again, same trap, that is what Satoshi might be experted to do if he was hiding and trying to misdirect the public. And we got another twist in the spiral and so on...
I was never an active FB user, and it has been years since I deleted my account. On the other hand my wife is using it every now and then and I can see the entertainment value in it.

And you think that forcing the market to be a black market decreases the coercion and exploitation?

Simply legalizing sex work is not enough. We have to combat the social stigma. We have to craft regulation that puts the power in the hands of sex workers, not brothels. We have to put in place enforcement strategies that combat and discourage human trafficking (such as undercover checks of immigration status that provide amnesty for illegal immigrants while prosecuting those who trafficked them.) The solutions to combat exploitation and coercion are not simple, but making it illegal solves very few problems beyond allowing some people to feel morally superior.

As we work towards solving these problems, our position on the supply/demand curve will shift to provide a price where supply equals demand.

Simple and useful. I love it.
You are quite obviously wrong, as most cultures and societies have made it illegal, and have done so for a long long time. So there are many many smart people who think it should be so. Whether their reasons are valid in your mind or not is irrelevant.
is it really user engagement or the time you spend scrolling through your feed to find something worth checking out, that dwarfs the time spent on twitter?
It wouldn't likely meet the standard of "confusingly similar" unless you called it "Nike" in order to somehow leverage the actual shoe brand (logos 'n all). But even if it didn't, you could imagine an index operator succumbing to the (unreasonable) request of a lawyer in order to avoid a conflict requiring representation.

That sort of completely insane dependency deserves a specially enunciated WTF!?!?

I would not be surprised if somehow installing or opening a font was tied into some sort of telemetry system (or maybe DRM-ish licensing crap) that requires Internet access in some way or another. Unbelievably scary and deeply disturbing.

Here's a quote from the first paragraph of this page: http://agilemanifesto.org/principles.html

"Our highest priority is to satisfy the customer
through early and continuous delivery
of valuable software." (Emphasis mine)

Continuous delivery has been an integral part of agile methods since the very beginning.
The value for many people is:

- Being able to easily communicate with a large group of your friends at the same time

- Being able to contact old acquaintances who you otherwise wouldn't have been able to find

- Being able to finely control they way you present yourself to your peers

- Being able to easily coordinate events

...to name a few.

There are other ways to accomplish the same tasks, but Facebook is coherent and easy to use.

I personally don't use Facebook either, but I do see the value in it.
>and his own self-destructive (ultimately fatally destructive) streak screams full blown sociopath and always has.

I think there was more narcissism than sociopathy.

Sociopaths have a sadistic streak. They enjoy fucking with people's heads, lying to them, and destroying them. Nothing on earth makes a sociopath happier than the knowledge that they've screwed someone over.

They're actually more like human relationship trolls - from the "soft" versions who enjoy lying and cheating, to the much rarer dangerously criminal types who enjoy torture.

Narcissists simply don't care about other people. They don't enjoy torturing others - they don't think of them at all, except as an occasional inconvenience, or (ideally) as a source of praise and limitless support.

The Jobs dedication to getting noticed by the world for being "insanely great" combined with his tendency to use employees and customers to build up his self-image without being interested in them beyond that seems more like classic narcissism to me.
Only opponents to it calls it Waterfall, but I've definitely worked in environments like that back in the old days. We got very little done.
I agree, we should be taking everyone to task for this. Nobody cares enough though. It's just inevitable that this is the future. I don't know why. People are just too beat down to raise a fuss? It's too much of an inconvenience? Hard to say, but somehow it's just become how things are.

I don't see how that follows.

Simply making sex workers not criminals means that they can go to the police when someone hits them or steals from them.

Making sex work something that can legally happen in safe locations, decreases the risks that sex workers face.

Facebook doesn't just keep you in contact with old friends, it encourages you to stalk their public facing persona. There's none of the mystery and personal discovery that creates the bonds of friendship. It's not real friendship. It's like being a super fan to an amateur musician - a one way street with occasional responses.

The fear of missing out? That's just one of the many addictive strings that Facebook tugs to manipulate you. The things that happen on Facebook don't matter. If something is important then it is far better to discover it outside of Facebook. In the end, nothing is that important.

There are other ways of keeping up with old friends and relatives. Listen to gossip from other friends and family. Keep in contact with them using email, telephone and post. If you don't maintain some link then they should be resigned to the past - until some event occurs to trigger a re-established connection.
