While I don't doubt their investment in their software stack to manage operations, Delta is hardly always on time nor consistent. I fly them 2-3 times a month and for the past two months (including today) every flight has has delayed (to and from destination) with only one being weather related.
Looks to me like an opportunity for a TV show spinoff - "Are you smarter than a 5th grader eating snacks with a smartphone?"
Jet isn't even located in the Bay Area, so comparing to Bay Area housing is sort of irrelevant (the exception being housing in NYC is close in cost to that in the Bay). Their headquarters are in New Jersey, so a good number of them could probably find fancy houses in NYC or nearby.
> Does the legal process in USA have discovering the truth as one of its stated goals?

It doesn't have "stated goals" at all, but its probably most accurate to view its goals as determining appropriate consequences under the law, with "discovering truth" as not a goal, but of some value instrumentally to the actual goal.
Help me understand how the exclusionary rule follows directly from the Constitution. We are one of the few western countries to have it; it's an idiosyncratic response to the problem it addresses.
Cache on modern processors is so insanely fast it's already essentially an extension of the register file. IIRC, under ideal circumstances a L1 cache hit on Core i7 can take as little as 2-3 cycles, and averages about 4 cycles.
> With high-speed internet, there are similar dynamics. Last year, the federal government declared that broadband should be treated like a utility, as essential as electricity or the phone.

That's incorrect. Net neutrality rules don't treat Internet like electrical or phone utility literally. There are many differences in practice. For instance utility rates can be regulated. Prices on Internet access aren't. It doesn't need to be regulated as much as other utilities, but some things certainly could be regulated, like for example when preventing anti-competitive abuse. If anything, FCC abysmally failed to outright ban data caps.
Why is it cliche and passe? (asking as someone who was K-12 a long long time ago)
It depends on your definition of "demand". It has raised the amount of currency that people are willing to spend on the good, but it hasn't raised the subjective value of the good in "utils".
That's a shame, I heard Scalia's been dead for a while.

There was no talk of "idiots and fanatics" in the comment you replied to, hence the "not phrase it so strongly" part.

> Why do you assume that "alternative voices" are better than the research consensus of a field?

It's not an assumption, it's a conclusion from my period of digging into that stuff ;-)

(And it's also not that all alternative voices are always better. It's that there are flaws in the economic research consensus that are clearly visible to an interested outsider who sees the alternative voices and listens to them equally.)

The clearest and most painful example of this is that in the face of close to a decade of extremely clear evidence (in the form of comparing the Eurozone to other advanced economies, mostly), most economists discussing fiscal matters still make no distinction between governments that are monetarily sovereign and those that aren't.

It should be natural to assume that there's likely a qualitative distinction to be made between governments that can go bankrupt and those that cannot - there might be reasons why that isn't so, but then one needs to make an argument.

So you get things like the once famous Reinhart & Rogoff paper about government debt ratios - which has been thoroughly discredited, but even the people doing the discrediting typically didn't point out the problem of ignoring monetary sovereignty.

> Certainly you'll find paid research in any field with policy influences. Smoking comes to mind. Please make it likely that most of the [economy] field is corrupt, as the GP argued?

I assume you would assign the "smoking" issue to the field of medicine. Which percentage of research in medicine would you expect to be closely related to public policy? Which percentage in economics?
Walmart easily owes over 3 billion in taxes every year. There is a tiny almost non existent chance they will get a return as profit. However there is a 99.999% chance they get jet.com for free when they write it off as a complete loss in 2 years. If nothing else they get a valuable 3 letter domain name for nothing.
It won't stop them from using 3D printing to produce furniture, though. It's absurd for the article to say that it will as the only thing it's intended to prevent is protected designs being ripped off. If someone wants to design their own furniture, they'll still be free to do that, as well as make it freely available if they wish.
I doubt this will change the trajectory of Walmart. Bezos has the upper hand.

And that's where the 'incremental tasks with no architecture' part comes in. When the scheduler needs rewritten to support whatever robustness; when the server feeds need to be redundant; maybe only 1 team member has any real idea what it takes. Coding isn't always about putting up another web widget or making another database entry.

From my understanding of it, yes.

I did the work on this.

It wasn't really meant to be a practical attack. It was largely because there has been speculation around this for the last few years, so we thought we'd actually do it.

It's largely to raise awareness that IoT security is poor and we don't have the control to do much about it.
I don't think people here (or anywhere) dispute that here is a hard upper limit on the maximum population the Earth can support at any given time. The dispute is in the proposition that population is fated (or probabilistically likely) to grow faster than agricultural production. That may have been true when pro-natalist dogma held sway and agricultural technology was stagnant, but that's no longer the case--people who advocate having as man kids as possible no matter are seen as crazy in most parts of the world today, and for good reason.

Birth control is likely and is effective if you don't try to actively suppress it.
That's even more reason for local investors to build more.
Looking at Twitter is a good way to anticipate some edge cases.

For example, think about identity from a social perspective. On Twitter, identity is defined not just by the "@handle", but by the name and avatar image as well. Changing the name or avatar has little consequence in Twitter's platform, so some users do that a lot to play with their identity.

BTW, playing with identity--defining it, testing new attributes, evolving it over time--is a MAJOR attraction of social networks, if not the main reason anyone uses social networks at all. If your platform attempts to treat identity purely as a fixed thing, you're going to have trouble with long-term engagement. You need to give users identifying attributes that they can easily change regularly.

Speaking of which--while Twitter users can change their @username, it breaks all previous conversations. Why? Because Twitter manages conversational references solely by the text of the tweet. So if you change your @username to @newname, all those @username references in old conversations will go black (i.e. not be linked anymore).

I believe it also releases your old @username for someone else to register!

So, it seems quite uncommon for folks to change their @usernames on Twitter. In fact the few people and orgs I know who wanted a new ID on Twitter just started a new account and then used their old account to tell their followers to follow the new one. That way old conversations stay linked and in control. And it's a sort of follow "list cleaning" in that only the most engaged folks follow you to the new account.
PMI (critical path) != waterfall. But then that's also said of "agile", which too often devolve to waterfall.

Project management is risk mitigation. In my experience, most "agile" projects have been risk amplifiers. Ironic.
I'm not trying to disagree with the article here, but I have worked very short weeks before... and for me I found that 4 days off makes it really hard to be productive. You're away for so long that you don't even feel like you are a part of the company. Sometimes I would nearly forget to go to work, it was so much time off. I would say 4 days (maybe with less hours) is a much better schedule.
"Actually, it does; neoliberalism rests on the theoretical optimality of ideal markets in maximizing experienced utility."

Huh? Neoliberalism started as the rejection of the pure laissez-faire policies of Mises. It promotes state intervention in the markets.
The status page is static, in that there is no server-side rendering/processing other than just serving static files. You need only host the resources for the status page, but the files with the check results are typically stored somewhere else like S3. The status page downloads those check files with JavaScript and renders the results client-side. Hope that answers your question!
"Many benefits exist now; politicians seem to be falling over one another trying to restrict them."

Which benefits have been cut in the US in past ten years? Be specific. I won't count things that were cut to be replaced with something else bigger, like Obamacare.

There's a few politicians appealing to the people who'd like to see some things trimmed, but they haven't done anything significant about it in a decade or more. This is a part of the reason you're seeing Trump's level of success, the perception by these people that they keep trying send people to DC to cut things down, who then make a big show of resisting while not actually resisting.
The FinTech Opportunity
Aren't there ISP's using other traffic-shaping techniques than simply throttling? I'm guessing this is meant to also impede those.
Exactly. A good agile, and by extension SCRUM, process allows the developers to influence how things get done. If the way stories are written are leading the team to write unmaintainable code, change the way the stories are written. Or talk about why the problem exists in the first place and take action to fix it.

Again, it all comes down to communication. If nobody wants to talk to each other, SCRUM is not going to help.

As with all of these posts, they're extremely lacking in alternatives. Of course SCRUM won't work for every team, or even every project for the same team. But it provides a way for the team to evaluate and adjust how to best accomplish their goals in a straightforward and (if done right) low friction way.

I think it's taken for granted how much effort is alleviated by adopting SCRUM. Just think how difficult it would be to develop an alternative process for every team, every project, every new person to join one of those teams or projects. Everyone has their own way of doing things, standardizing on a few universal goals aint a bad thing.

I very much enjoyed the story and how it was all approached.

Similar to his other books (Snow Crash and Cryptonomicon) I've gifted these a few times. I really enjoy his method of storytelling and his stories appeal to the geek in me as well.
An edible programming language would be a great promotion for the international roll-out of the new Unicode version of Post Alpha-Bits Cereal.

Consumers don't choose a thermostat the same way they choose a vehicle. If you design a thermostat with bad code that becomes non functional your brand isn't irrevocably tarnished for decades. GM still doesn't sell many passenger cars with diesel engines and the consensus on its cylinder deactivation tech is that it's better than 4-6-8 but hard on rings.
Often this is just arrogance but sometimes big leaps get done that way. What if Wozniak hadn't been arrogant enough to think that he in his spare time and alone could build a better desktop computer than anything that's on the market?

Yes, the much bigger threat is taking control of these devices and using them as a pivot. We've done this for IP cameras, DVRs etc. It doesn't seem to engage the media or the public.

Marginally better: The official post cites a power outage in Atlanta.

That's exactly the call that gets made again and again, by managers. They rarely value code quality; so easy to dismiss with "that's just a refactor". Converse all you want. Business folk are not going to believe that Engineering isn't foolish and just "costing the company money".

Of course. Some developers (or product owners, architects, managers) generate technical debt slower, some other generate it faster. Some generate a substantial amount of it for a task in which others would generate very little - in the same time frame. Then why don't we call it lack of skills? Sounds the same to me.

The article's title says a 3-day week, but the actual study more specifically said a 30-hour week.

Or, put it another way, The Guardian can't even summarize it's own articles properly, because there was no recommendation as to how those 30 hours should be split up.

Personally, I'd prefer 5 6-hour days to 3 10-hour days.

My point is that I know no contemporary scholar claiming to be postmodernist and I am not aware of recent efforts to build on this theory. I might err, as it is impossible to read everything.

What I have witnessed is that people use postmodernism as a strawman, usually in a reactionary stance. This article is no exception, even if it brings some interesting points debated in other comments.

As a serious answer to a somewhat rhetorical question: Some have suggested realism and I find their endeavor interesting. This book is one good example.

When you trademark a term, the trademark is usually scoped to a context (eg industry, product type). So, unrelated trademarks can exist with the same name, scoped to a different context.

You can implement and plug in any storage provider, including local storage if you want. The point is you don't have to rely on a proprietary, locked down status page service.
For you, maybe. I understand that fitness is growing to become a new mainstream religion in the West, but not everyone wants to participate in this.

That said, I'm not saying one should not have a healthy lifestyle. Sure, encourage more physical activity. But for the love of Great Maker, do not break up the time kids spend on intellectual tasks or hobbies into small chunks. You can do fitness rituals in 15-minutes stretches, but you can't do anything that requires any kind of creativity or focus in that time.
I suspect you're right that a lot of the people complaining the loudest about lack of rural broadband are people who have bought a 50 acre place out in the country because they want the space and the quiet. To be fair, they probably pay for a lot of infrastructure like septic but I agree with your basic point.

It's also true that there are some advantages to (near) universal service for many types of utilities, as we did historically with electricity and POTS. That said given existing alternatives to broadband fiber like satellite, I'm not convinced there's a pressing need to provide universal broadband even where it doesn't make financial sense.

If you'd like to chat more about it, I'd be happy to compare notes. I'm always looking for more people in the same boat as me.

Are these friends of yours in or near metro areas? If so, which one(s)? From my research, if you're a single guy in the Bay Area, you'd better be happy with celibacy, and Seattle isn't much better. But NYC and DC are full of single 35-45 women (but they're all incredibly picky IMO as I said before). The problem, however, is that if your friends are all software engineers, they're more likely to be in cities that have more men than women. NYC just isn't a very good place for a SW engineer, unless you love finance and HFT (and what I read about the work environments in those places is not good, and you'll have no free time for dating anyway), or web development. DC is mostly defense-related stuff, and in my experience there, the defense stuff is all well outside the city proper (defense contractors are cheap bastards I guess), whereas all the upper-middle-class single women live in Georgetown or near Dupont Circle or something, since they all work downtown or at the university, so you're looking at a minimum 45-minute drive to visit each other.

I'm rapidly coming to the conclusion that software engineering is an absolutely horrible profession to get into if you're a hetero male who isn't an ultra-conservative churchgoer and wants to be able to date attractive professional women: it places you in locations that are far from these women, and keeps you in social circles that are completely alien to them, and in work environments that are devoid of any such women. I really wish I had gone into the medical field instead, honestly. In my experience, engineering is a great field if you're either an ultra-conservative religious person who wants a stay-at-home wife in a low cost-of-living region, or you're asexual and want to live in Silicon Valley and dedicate your life to work.
Sorry. Yeah, the title is missing half of the story: status pages.

Given a fixed area which fits a fixed number of transistors at the same cost, you allocate some portion of those transistors to compute and memory cells.

If you want to maintain your number of memory cells without decreasing the number of compute transistors, you need to grow your area which increases costs. That can be a very expensive thing here.

Additionally engineer time around layout and architectural costs are different for those different placements and cache requirements, so the cost is not uniform, but amortized it is not as significant as things like chip area.
I don't think the article is entirely wrong but the example of shame from Twitter doesn't seem to fit as neatly as they'd like. For me, when I see something like this or #goodcispeople it's mostly about complaints and not targeting black men or cis people. If people feel shame from such complaint-fests I can't be sure if you're not just thin skinned. It really seems to me that's the real problem with utilizing such hashtags as examples since you have to go out of your way to find them.

Whereas the author could've more easily looked at how certain Twitter users have been stalked and harassed for not supporting full communism (I'm not kidding, people have been dogpiled, stalked, and harassed for this). That event fits better with what the author is trying to demonstrate than just random black women or trans women airing complaints on a hashtag at no account or person in particular.
