Every company knows more about you than you will know about yourself. Every device and online service will have so many security holes that everyone, every organization, every government will be an open book. Nanodrones will target and execute people on a daily basis and everyone will own them - terrorists, freedom fighters, governments, corporation states, corporate cities, megacorporations. Victims will be selected by geographical area, ethnicity, skin color, sex and metadata. Corporations will also have their own military divisions.

Removed my "clueless" generalization. It's anecdotal, but most that I've encountered (relating to SaaS products) don't have much of a technical background at all, just throwing money at buzzwords, meanwhile they think critical services such as logging aren't worth going after, just because it's not trendy. I'm sure it varies from industry to industry.

There is nothing in agile which prevents upstream / downstream teams from working in parallel and iterating on components. Nor does agile require that components reach the stage of deep maturity before they are consumed; in reality it's completely the opposite. I can't fathom where these misunderstandings are coming from.

Again, if your project is organized in component teams then you're likely to have those problems regardless of methodology. The optimal solution in most cases is to reorganize around feature teams, plus have a small cross-team group of technical experts for each major component who can provide stewardship and review major changes.

Open Source at DigitalOcean: Introducing Go-Qemu and Go-Libvirt
Saw this article and just ran with the title, eh? https://www.libertariannews.org/2012/11/15/meat-packing-lies...

Turns out it doesn't actually "expose the fiction of 'The Jungle.'" It cites "a 1906 report by the Bureau of Animal Industry" -- and nothing else. It then runs headlong into a classic libertarian diatribe against regulations.

And even if "The Jungle" /was/ pure fiction (instead of just fictionalize) -- readers didn't know that. And, despite their revulsion, the stockyards kept chugging along.
The difference is that fiddling with a screen is a traffic ticket and potential accident where you are at fault for being inattentive.

Most do. That's why most startups fail, after all.

The lesson to take from this is to get your iteration velocity up and your burn rate down. If you can, you also want to be extracting as much information as possible from the failures, so it's not entirely random, but even if you're brilliant and 100% paying attention there will still be a lot of them.
You're metaphorically asking how to make things fall at 9.8 m/s^2 on Mars.

Shell companies are an artifact of how government courts assign legal liability. As courts would work differently in a libertarian society, unethical and criminal actors would almost certainly have different circumvention methods, tailored to the established rules of each different system. It's like asking how libertarians would deal with patent trolls. Patent trolls are an artifact of the existing system. They would not exist in the same form under a different system. The people who currently operate patent troll businesses would still exist, and they would undoubtedly still be opportunistic locusts, but threatening some other crop.

So how do you stop clever assholes from committing a series of offenses without meaningful consequence, in any system of civilization?

Most libertarian schools of thought are very heavily dependent on public reputation systems. A shell company with no established reputation, and no reputable person to vouch for it, would likely be entirely unable to rent or buy the boat or truck necessary to perform significant quantities of dark-night dumping in a manner that is not easily traceable.

And no matter how many fictitious name intermediaries you have, eventually a warm body has to do the dirty deed. If you can catch that guy in the act, you can hold him personally responsible unless he can provably pass the buck to someone else to share his blame.

In any case, I'm not certain how useful it is to say that libertarian theory does not solve a problem that is already not effectively addressed by existing social systems.

For practical use cases, machine learning is actually easier than what these blog posts imply. One of my pet peeves with some marketing thought pieces on Machine Learning/AI is that they deliberately abstract so much of the process in order to sound smarter.

Yup. Everything seems fine until you realize that companies are willing to absolutely anything to make a buck. If you see a law that forces tests to keep companies from poisoning rivers, it's because companies have poisoned rivers. If it's a law about cutting up and selling the meat of a sick animal which is found dead, or what have you, it's there for a reason.
The irony is that "Agile" methods were developed in part to protect developers by poor management. Yet it's the same poor management that relies on off-the-shelf processes.

I've been in so many meeting where a manager tried to espouse the benefits of "being agile": Faster releases, tracking work more accurately, ability for constant review.

But I've never been in a meeting where somebody tries to talk about the benefits to developers: Your goals can't change day to day, your boss doesn't get to strictly tell you what to do or how to do it, and no more arbitrary deadlines!

You really have to listen to how somebody is selling a process to understand their interpretation of it.
You may be outvoted, but that's only fair.

No, it isn't "fair". Voting is a sham. "Democracy" is just a euphemism for "mob rule" and "might makes right". As the old saying goes "Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for dinner. Liberty is a well armed sheep contesting the outcome."

The reality is, if you vote, but are on the losing side, you're just a minority suffering the Tyranny of the Majority[1]. The representative system we use in the US purports to try and avoid that, but it really doesn't.

[1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tyranny_of_the_majority

and aren't given a choice as to whether or not to participate.

Interesting that you elided this bit in your response. Because this matters... no one is really given a choice as to whether or not to participate in "the system". If you work, the government presumes the authority to steal a portion of your income, no matter what decisions you make. And if you try too hard to not participate, men with guns will come and arrest or kill you.

And, no, before you say it, "leave" isn't a valid choice. See above about "Whateveristan". Given wherever one happened to be born, there's no reason one should have to leave in order to enjoy Liberty.
It really isn't. Base configuration 13" MBP specs:

2016 (Touch Bar): 2.9GHz dual-core Intel Core i5, Turbo Boost up to 3.3GHz, with 4MB shared L3 cache: 28 W TDP [1]

Both chips use the same 14nm process, and there's no free lunch. The "refined" 14nm process for the Skylake chip is put towards a tiny frequency bump.

Volkswagen also announced that 9,000 new jobs will be opened up with at least 1,000 of them being in the IT department in Wolfsburg alone. I wouldn't call this bad news.
Classic.

By the way, the same applies to software: If any developer can say they're "full-stack" without further specification (i.e, they're full-stack everything) with a straight face, than they should be punished by being given $200 or less of electronic components and a processor of their choice, and asked to make a webapp. No external libraries, that's cheating. Maybe give them an assembler if you start feeling sorry for them.

Have you ever studied political science, political economy, voting theory or any of these subjects?

Government is not automatically fair and equitable because you vote. That's 1 grade level analysis.

> I do not have any reasonable sway over the behaviour of a multibillion dollar corporation.

Actually that is false. You spend all your money and you can choice not to spend on any particular object. For many companies, your $$$ are a bigger share of their profits then the share of your vote (consider that lots of products you buy are from the same company).

Additionally, something that you ignore, is that you share most of the same demands with all other consumers of the same product. While with voting you have totally different needs.

Plus, you can vote only a very limited amount of times and you have to consider 1000s of issues to consider. Can you tell me what the presidential candidates positions on Souther California Bean subsidy program are? Did you no that this program existed?

Government spends about 30-50% of the GDP and you get to vote a couple of times per year at most. While with the rest of your money, you are literally making more choice every day.

Lets get back to the shared interest point. All buyers of a product the same demand for correct labeling, good quality and so on. Thus collective action happens automatically without coordination. In case of fraud collective action is far easier as well. Coordination for collective action is also possible in the form of legal action.

What do you do if the FDA does you wrong? Send out letter of complaint?

Just imagen if all the products you want to consume in the next 4 years, you get two shipping containers and you have to pick one. Neither of the containers has much you like in it, but if you don't pick you will just get one at random. Also when you pick one, about 50% of the time you will not get that one anyway. Have fun eating eating vegan gluten free hamburgers the next year.

Looks like some good suggestions:

- Glad they're recommending a stop to the pointless "password must be no longer than (16, 20, ...) characters". Aren't you storing a constant-length hash anyway?

- Why do some logins restrict which ASCII characters can be used? When I see that I can use any symbol from '%!#&' or whatever list they provide, I can only imagine it's a really naive SQL-injection defense. Is there any valid reason for this?

- And glad to see they're recommending against "security challenges". Half the time I'm forced to pick a security question, either none of them apply, a bunch of them are ambiguous ("what's your favorite movie?" - uhh, I'll give you a different answer depending on my mood, etc.), or they're easily searchable ("where did you go to high school?")

Unfortunately I doubt the bad actors will pay too much attention to this. I know Google is planning on dinging sites that don't use HTTPS, is it possible they could ding sites for poor password policies?

Facebook Said to Create Censorship Tool to Get Back into China
“The situation has risen to the level where the company is illegally violating its contract with pilots by not allowing them to take contractually obligated compensatory time for the forced extra work. Throughout the year and now, especially during the 4th quarter, ABX has been forcing its pilots to fly flights because it had intentionally short-staffed its operations in the face of increased customer demands” the Airline Professionals Association said in a statement.

“ABX refused to recall pilots who had been furloughed as a result of DHL’s termination of North American operations several years ago. ABX refused to recall those pilots because it did not want to bring them back and pay them at the top of the pilots’ wage scale, as required by the pilots’ contract. ABX instead extinguished those pilots’ recall rights earlier this year and then tried to hire new pilots who would be paid at the bottom of the pilots’ wage scale. ABX management has acknowledged that its penny-wise, pound foolish scheme backfired, as it waited too long to start hiring additional pilots and actually hired too few pilots. Since then, ABX has been forcing its pilots to fly additional trips and disrupting their schedules in an effort to climb out from the staffing hole it dug for itself”.

Seems like self-serving profit motivated labor abuse to me. Wage theft is still theft.

The OP likely made that comment because plotting the data is often done before the fancy machine learning as a part of the exploratory data analysis. (especially with a low number of variables!)
They're both appeal to nature arguments. "Tobacco should never be regulated because it grows in nature" and "Cryptography should never be regulated because it uses math".

There are plenty of reasons to be anti-DRM or pro-user privacy, but the "it uses numbers" argument is not a particularly good one.
Actually, the EU have pretty good legislation for cosmetics on this point and do do a good job. I get that you disagree, but any reason why you disagree?

At least, in the EU, manufacturers are held to a standard and are fined/prosecuted if they breach those standards. It's not an 'honor system' as bloomberg report. Lets face it, if there's an honor system, and you could buy maltodextrin powder instead of real aloe powder, the bulk of companies would probably do it to make a profit.
These companies are being sued which is the libertarian solution. However, clearly that did not prevent this from happening because running a business that will eventually be sued to oblivion is still profitable now.

So, best case nobody notices and they win, worst case someone notices and they still win. Much like large companies use 3rd party's to have undocumented people clean their toilets without being exposed to any real risks.

So, your take is that NoSQL's problems boil down to a mix of not working at all and a general inability to get it to actually work.
It isn't clear that any of those products have an actual Drug Facts label.(an example label [1]) The CVS product listed in the article definitely does not[2]. If it doesn't have a label like this, it is likely not regulated by the FDA and therefor quite a bit more likely to be nonsense. Having ingredient lists not on the Drug Facts label doesn't count.

> If using Java, Groovy, Kotlin, or Scala, Intellij will be much more valuable in terms of time-saving

Any IDE is more helpful for programming in statically-typed languages, which Java, Kotlin, or Scala are. Apache Groovy, also on your list, is dynamically-typed originally -- though static typing was added in Groovy 2, virtually no-one uses it -- so I question if any IDE, whether IntelliJ or VS, really gives time-savings there. Anyway, such dynamically typed languages like Groovy are good for glue code, build scripts, and testing, not for developing actual systems.

> Companies have a huge intensive to stay, establish partnerships, branding, funding and so on.

Companies have huge incentives to act altruistically, but individuals within those companies sometimes have huge incentives to maximize short-term profits.

There's an asymmetry in the way companies and their employees operate. Employees can endanger the life of the company at a negligible-- or even negative-- cost to themselves. It's why banking executives might reward the opening of millions of fraudulent accounts, for example.

I've yet to see an example of a company that can completely prevent this problem. Given the lack of evidence, I have to continue to believe in regulations that protect consumers.

The Richardson Maturity Model Explained
"This is a result of our industrialized society"

Is that the idea? Isn't the point rather that the existence of a pencil is only possible as a result of industrialization and trade. It's not as if before industrialization, there was an artisanal pencil maker who traveled the world gathering the materials needed to make a batch of pencils, and crafted them together using pencil-making secrets passed down from father to son over generations.

No person has EVER been able to make a pencil; it's something that has only ever been possible for a network of interdependent industrial concerns.
> we've (society) been purchasing tons and tons of a product for who knows how long that has been inauthentic, without any idea that it was the case

Also, whenever this happens, one should stop and consider:

"Why are we buying aloe vera products in the first place, when millions of people using the product for years are unable to detect that it's fake?"

If this happened with something tangible, say replacing all regular coke with diet coke without changing the labels, it would be noticed immediately.

Whenever people buy something which they are completely unable to differentiate from a fake, are they really being defrauded when someone sells them the fake?

Most companies actually do burn through the cash trying to figure it out, and fail.

Early on, it's nothing more than an educated guess. Part of the problem here is that if you're actually creating something new, rather than a refinement of an existing product, you're in uncharted territory. Think of Henry Ford's comment about the customers wanting faster horses. That's not what they want. That's just the limits of their imaginations and experience. Great founders should be creating something the customers desperately want and need but couldn't even imagine or articulate. Henry Ford's customers just wanted to get from one place to another, faster than they could at the time, more reliably, and affordably. They wanted faster horses. He gave them mass-production cars that were affordable and easy to maintain.
I needed something like this at a previous job. At a brief skim it seems like a good potential solution to that problem. (Though it is not, perhaps fortunately, a problem I have right now, but I'll bookmark this in case it does come up someday.)
