I agree, i'm saying many programmers would not think that a problem as long as the market demands those 'older' technologies. If you read HN or /r/programming you might think you are missing out all the time; if you make E200k+ at BBVA as senior dev you really wouldn't notice any of that. You would be using stuff that hasn't changed massively for over a decade. I would wager that a lot (most) programmers would prefer the latter to the former. Not me, not you, but many would.
For a developer, no.

For someone involved in non-technical delivery, I would expect they had experience delivering agile projects.

(Of course, agile projects typically call them product owners instead, a subtle distinction.)

I've been involved with agile projects since 2006 and I am still learning new ways of delivering software that solves the right problem, developing team cohesion, surfacing risk early, and other things you don't learn in the 3 day class.

I can teach Scrum in 30 minutes, but there should be an actual expert around until enough of the group has internalized the reasons for the concepts and feel like they can adjust it to suit their situation without fear of dogma. (This expert, however, won't usually cost $200,000 unless they signed the manifesto themselves or are otherwise agile-famous.)

(Here's the 30 seconds if you don't have anyone around. Start with trying to group the next most important thing to do in a 2 week chunk. Every day, talk with each other and make sure to surface any problems and risks as fast as possible. Have at least one person who will use the software sitting with the team to answer questions as they pop up. And every week, take an hour to figure out what's working well, what isn't, and what you need to adjust to make things work more smoothly. There are dozens of technical and organizational practices to go through and try, but the best is to keep the ones that work for you, ditch the ones that don't.

Standups and Demos are just 2 of those organizational processes. Use them if they work, ditch them if they don't. For example, I'm currently working with expert practitioners and we're not doing a standup because we're small enough, work close enough together, and have worked with each other long enough to just talk.
Sorry, I think you've got the wrong end. What confuses me is that being expected to dress like a grownup is something a lot of people apparently find galling enough to get up in arms about.

Body shape is hugely influential. Limb length compared to torso length, back width, arm length compared to leg length all will have huge influences. These were general guidelines kind of thrown around over the years, but it is expected that for each person on of those will be easier than the rest to achieve. Most really good deadlifters are not necessarily good squatters, and vice versa.
Berkeley was making all of their lecture videos available to the public until they recently moved to EdX. Course videos from Spring 2015 and prior (going back as far as Spring 2010) can be accessed here: http://webcast.berkeley.edu/series.html#c,d,Computer_Science

I have been working through the cs core classes (61a/b/c) by following the syllabus from the semester corresponding to the videos for reading and homework assignments. A google search of course number and professor's last name has been the easiest method of finding the course website (not all of them use the Berkeley course page).
There's no karma in waiting on actual releases, friend.
I posit that all software has bugs. If this is true, closed source vendor software allows you no insight into the inner workings of the code; you are always at the mercy of the vendor.

Open-Source software has bugs, but it gives you the ability to look into the issues directly; allowing you to figure it out if you want.

The cool thing in open-source is you can always absolve yourself of responsibility and hire a vendor or maintainer or others to help fix the problem if there is one. Which means you have N potential solutions to a problem, compared to just 1 with a closed source vendor.

Yeah - short sleeves, short pants, and a mandated indoor temperature over eighty degrees Fahrenheit. Talk about enforced good citizenship!
Even if your statement were true (that you can pour money into something and magically achieve growth that is beneficial for both parties - I'd really like to see statistics on this or any sort of source really), the stock market is, for the large part, a zero sum game, unless an IPO is made.

Rich people also invest in many other things that do not further sustainable growth and, as we can see from many corporations, many of them actually hoard cash or invest in bonds (which just fuel unsustainable consumption - hardly the growth that seems beneficial long term)
And why is it a problem? The "poor people" now live better than any other point in history. Everyone now lives better than any other point in history.

More educated, less crime, better living conditions, better nutrition.

The only problem I see is jealousy. Poor people are jealous of what rich people have and want to take it.
I never understood why card counting was frowned upon? I realize they don't like players to have an edge, and they can throw out whoever they want for whatever reason, but I don't understand why they bother with that type of surveillance? Shouldn't a casino instead just use shuffling machines, have limited spread between min/max bets, and not play very deep (e.g 6 of 12 decks) to just nullify any possible counting edge?

I assume it's not illegal to count, even if you are alone and use an obvious tactic such as playing $10 for dozens of hands, and play max bets only near the bottom of the shoe?

Especially designers.
Will you ever be offering any software internships? Thanks!
Leaders inspire.

Many people grow up believing that protesting is the same thing. But at its foundation, it is resisting leadership direction.

Managers are people too- and at some point you have to cut your losses if you lose hope that you will be able to inspire your employees.

The managers know they are asking extra from the staff with dress codes in this day and age. It doesn't happen naturally, so they write policy. They expect to deal with resistance, and sometimes they are seeking out policy resistors for promotions. But a mass uprising is a huge fiasco to deal with.

You are missing the crux of the problem when you say they wrote a letter suggesting an alternative. They drafted a petition against leadership direction and had almost everyone sign it. That is a protest.

It is a serious problem for management and it requires action: capitulate to airhead interns who won't be here next year or cancel the program?

These kids should have known this, but like many young people, they had an opportunity to learn a lesson the hard way.

I wonder if they're counting the thousands (tens of thousands? hundreds?) of Asian men who work manual labor or the shipping industry in areas like Manhattan's Chinatown or Brooklyn's Sunset Park. Probably not as they're mostly likely paid under the table, but they'd skew results quite a bit.
Mad Men: I worked at IBM Office Products Division Headquarters in the 1970s. Dress code was full suit with a white shirt. I was a systems programmer on the IBM 360 Mainframe. One day I walked from my office, into the hall, to the print room 2 doors away without my suit jacket. I got "written up" (a very bad thing).

In those days even IBM Field Service Engineers who repaired Selectric Typewriters wore suits. Their shoes were so well shined you could see your face in them.

These days I work from home. Sometimes I walk the hall to the cafeteria (the kitchen) without my suit jacket. I expect to be written up sometime soon.

Here's a clue a very senior manager (Ralph Gomory, IBM Research Division President) once gave me...

Managers make decisions. Only go to management with your need for a decision and always present the options.

They went to management with what was, in essence, a complaint. Worse, it was a complaint that had nothing to do with the business. Clearly they were not keeping the business uppermost in their priority queue. So management made a business decision and fixed the problem.

We had a "mass revolt" among the systems programmers across all of the IBM internal sites. We would only get "upgraded processors" after the customer returned an old one. We were working on trailing edge equipment. Unfortunately our internal memos (the "Tandem Memos") got leaked to Computer World (the big newspaper of the day). I got called "on the carpet" by senior management. I expected to be fired.

Fortunately IBM Corporate management saw that we were complaining about the business, not about personal issues. They changed the policy and we got leading edge equipment.

Mass protests sometimes work but they need to focus on improving the business. Unless you're in the fashion business it is hard to see how dress code protests matter.
Why? In addition to the reasons other people have already said, a key reason excessive income inequality is bad is lack of demand. The economy doesn't exist if money isn't flowing, and you need both supply and demand for the economy to work.

While [many people * low income] and [few people * high income] should both be able to produce demand, it's important to remember there is a brick-wall limit at the poor end of the curve. This is similar to the flaw in the martingale[1] betting system; you have to stop playing when your cash runs out.

When you have to spend every dollar you have trying - and often failing[2] - to pay for basic living requirements, you aren't spending money on the rest of the economy. Expect violence to start when the bottom end of the income curve is pushed low enough that some people starts going hungry.

A proper social safety net helps both of these problems. Keeping people in the economy with realistic wages (and/or a basic income or other welfare programs) keeps money flowing through a large part of the economy. It also discourages people from looting your house. Brexit and Trump are warnings; when people are desperate they tend to attack anything they perceive is they problem. Fixing the income problem needs to happen now, so people not only have enough to live, but also have a sense that they have their fair chance to succeed. If the warning signs are ignored... as Mark Blyth said, "The Hamptons is not a defensible position"[3].

The cost of living goes up. So yes it's a problem.
> Inequality is when the poor get 2x richer, but the rich get 3x richer, in real terms (not nominal). Do you have any reason to believe this is a problem?

But that isn't what's happening. The bottom quartile's incomes have shrunk when adjusted for inflation and they have stagnated since the 80s.

That IS a problem.
Right, it's the difference between speed and acceleration. Replacing your car's speedometer with an accelerometer would lead to less informed decisions!
The only scenario where I can see this failing is when snow covered lane markings have been temporarily redrawn, eg. for nearby construction sites. Then you have to hope for accurately placed road markers. But that would be a similar challenge for humans as well.
Out of curiosity, by Asian males, do they also include Indian men? It drives me crazy why Indians and people from other nationalities from the subcontinent do not get counted as "asians" in the US.

Anecdote: When I was an intern in the 80s, at a large mainframe computer facility, there was no dress code. But at that time, there was a widespread rumor that people who dressed better, were treated better. I got a couple pairs of polyester pants and some button down shirts at a discount store. The other interns wore jeans, tee shirts, and sneakers.

Sure enough, I was treated better. While the other interns were crawling around pulling cables, I got to sit at a desk and program a computer.

Wearing business attire also got me better treatment when I needed it, such as dealing with some bureaucracy, or even retailers.

I'd be interested in knowing if this was still the case. If it's important enough to be fired for, I'd spend a few more bucks and dress nicer, as an investment, especially around performance review time.
Your version provides less information - it does not say that there are no other groups between Asian men and white men on earning scale.
Yes, that's pretty much exactly what's happening. See http://voxeu.org/sites/default/files/image/FromMay2014/lakne...

From this chart, we can clearly see that the middle class of the western world (80th percentile) has been paying all the cost of globalization. What's worse is that this chart is only in terms of income growth. I think if we looked at the percentile breakdown in terms of wealth growth, it would be even worse (remember, if you're wealthy, you can reinvest most of your income and it will compound over time).
I'd recommend Griffiths "Introduction to Quantum Mechanics". The writing style is informal enough that it's comfortable to read, but still had enough mathematical rigor to teach the material. It's certainly not a definitive reference, but I only reach for my other books after I've determined that it's not in Griffiths.

From now on, I'm going to downvote any article that exploits shallow politics and clikbait titles. If the writer thinks his work needs such tricks to gain attention, it's not worth reading.

The article itself is very shallow, and compares people by skin color AND home continent. Apples and oranges. Except, 'Asian' is a whole casket of different fruits.
What is amazing is the scope of the search that took place, both when the Germen's car was found and, several years later, when the human bones were located.

If you can reasonably match the bankroll, it seems like the players' edge against the house is that they can determine when the game ends (assuming the house can't refuse a bet).

The problem is of course matching the bankroll to the point where you can afford a long losing streak - it's just not practical.
You might not agree with their choice but you don't seem to even try to understand why the do things they do. They do glue RAM to make laptops smaller. They glue batteries for the same reason.

Its not great for ppl who want to have hackable devices but it works great for the rest of people.
