“Artificial flavoring”? Well if this isn’t loaded... You, most of all, should do as he advises and get out of your conditioned shell and constricted perspective. He was trying to share some of the beauty he had experienced. Since you seem to have a hostile view to anything but the one you are normalized to, I suggest you go out there and experiment before you lay dying and wonder at all the joys you may have missed out on.
> Does forced eating of healthy food and exercise mean healthier?

I think it does, but i totally agree that healthy lifestyle does NOT require money.
I agree we don't need to eat meat, and I'm a vegetarian, but I'm around... 80% sure.

I'd rather use the less-strong statement I need to make a point. It is still a common belief that not eating meat is in some way less healthy, because plants have lower-quality proteins.

Sure, that is naturally occuring, and I wouldn't advise eating too much of it either, but at least the ratio is offset by a lot of fiber (and water), so you get somewhat full.

But I get your point, it shouldn't really be about what's naturally occuring, but how it affects your body. I stay away from fruit as well.

Is there any reason to believe this 'soul' you're talking about has to come from the programmers? It's not clear to me that the designers of the game, and the programmers of that design, have any overlap in people -- and just because the programmers get replaced by contractors, it's not clear that the designers do, as well.
If the current state of security screening and customer service hasn't changed people's behaviour, not much will.

Unfortunately, for a lot of people there are no viable alternatives.
On one hand, I wouldn't completely dismiss the sociocultural norm of prizing competition and pursuit of individual power and status, since even though these motivators seem superficial and lowly to some, they have historically shown to be powerful facilitators of progress and development of humanity, and completely antagonizing them is unwise. We wouldn't be where we are without socioeconomic competition.

The iPhones and the planes and the supermarkets are not the problem - they are fruits of civilization and represent our progress as an intelligent species, at least in one regard.

Also, I don't think "ego-centric values" will be going anywhere, they seem to be rooted in our biology, from which dominant societal values are ultimately derived.

Of course, biology and basic societal expectations are not the only drivers of human behavior. Intellectual ideas, abstract thought, understanding of nature (in the broad sense), coupled with our faculties of emotion together act as essential motivators, and are often incorporated by society as general expectations and norm.

Obviously, taking a simplistic, power-driven, ego-centric behavioral paradigm to an extreme without incorporating the bigger picture into our perspective is a major mistake. We become short-sighted, basic and ignorant, leading to both practical problems as well as a philosophically undesirable state of humanity.

The concept you distinguished as one of the potential solutions - spirituality - and particularly your example of a physicalist/pantheistic spiritual outlook on the Universe that is not constructed dogma but rather a mental interpretation of scientific fact - is precisely the sort of thing that needs to be more common place. I have a hunch that a philosophy of that exact nature will be embraced in the not-so-distant future.

We are intelligent agents, isn't it common sense that we take as much knowledge as we can into consideration before we act, rather than being exclusively animated by immediate, manifest but somewhat animalistic motivators?

Because when people say AAA, often they are talking about the cookie-cutter, churn-it-out yearly titles, like FIFA and Madden and Call of Duty.

The other comparison with Hollywood is the unrelenting sequelitis. It's even reached the point now where game developers are planning trilogies from the start, like StarCraft II and Medieval Total War: Warhammer.

The US has double the per capita emissions of the EU on a cumulative basis since 1970, but Australia and Canada have similar per capita emissions over this period. Canada, especially is accelerating its CO2 extraction relative to the size of its economy and population.

In a globalized system, where these extractive activities are global commodities, it seems to make sense to index emissions/extraction against economy size. Otherwise you get the unhelpful result that Bahrain and Qatar are the source of the problem (in a material sense they are, but not in a useful sense). This [1] list of emissions by GDP is a nice start, and it seems that Canada and Australia, the other two members of the wealthy New World Anglosphere, are neighbors to the US on this metric.

Is there a good way of accounting for national economy specialization when assessing contribution to the emissions problem? China looks very inefficient according to this metric, but much of the world is essentially outsourcing its emissions to China. Is it useful to compare China to a country whose GDP is based largely on financial services? Which nations give the best bang for the buck in dirty industry (my suspicion is that Germany does well here)?

For #1, I'd say a dedication to Agile requires significant business commitment on the contractual side to ensuring there basically ARE no commitments beyond the backlog/stories. Needless to say, some clients can't handle this and you need to to turn business away.

There are agencies that act this way like Tribalscale or Pivotal Labs, both of which are pretty dedicated XP shops but also with significant design and product capabilities.

That's a different kind of waste. It's indisputable that meat production is a waste of land, crops, and resources, if your main metric is producing as much food as possible.

If you're talking about money waste instead, it works pretty well. But while corn may be over-subsidized, I'd rather eat it than starve.
Given that it takes 10,000 calories of feed to make 1,000 calories of beef, you're still talking about a massive reduction in the number of vegetation calories produced.

What Keeps a Self-Organizing Team from Falling Apart
You're describing exactly what is happening.

Take a look at the release list for the last year, it's sequel sequel sequel.

Once in a blue moon a new IP comes, and people drop their pants like it's the second coming, forgetting that this is how the games industry used to be.
While I certainly won't tell anyone how to live their life, cutting out alcohol use is still a "good" thing.

See, I'm not so sure about that. I spent probably 7-8 years without alcohol. It was never that I drank often, but my ex really had issues with it along with mental health issues. Part of making a good environment for him was to keep alcohol out of the house, and I couldn't really afford to be that impaired.

After we broke up, I started drinking casually. Its been years, and I still don't drink much, but it is a unique occasional enjoyment. I neither have pressure to drink nor real consequences from it - after all, I'd be spending the money on other entertainment anyway.

It was much harder to not be part of social media networks, honestly. No one cares if I drink, but folks will simply not talk to others if they don't share the social network.
The issue is that "agile" was a descriptive word, used relatively loosely. Then some people tried to capture its essence and artificially engineer it into their process, and it became prescriptive.

Some things are better left to occur organically. If you want to be "agile," then reevaluate your corporate culture and create an environment where it might occur. It needs to be you, you can't fake it, much to the chagrin of some of the more uncharismatic business types.
I used it, thanks for creating it!
In general I agree, but you can't do much when you really want to host a video or an image gallery. Those things are big, nothing you can do about it.

The point still stands. There is a direct cost to hosting your own content that scales with popularity. If your website is slashdotted/hugged to death/goes viral to the point where you go beyond the allocated quota of bandwidth that comes with your monthly hosting costs then you'll have to pay for that traffic. Hosting your content with a business who profits from it shifts that cost, and risk, from you to them. If you don't have much money then that's a really good thing. This is true even if you optimise the size of your website.

> The past two weeks I was trying to buy a Nintendo Switch. I ended up getting it from Target for a similar reason; I was able to go on their online shop and see which Target was carrying it.

That isn't working for me. It looks like they may have taken it out of their online shop. When I go to the Nintendo Switch section of the online shop there is a notice on the top of the page that it is only sold in stores and that I should check my local Target store, and there is no entry for it down in the product section of the page.

I don't see any obvious way to check online if an item is in stock locally except by going to the product page for that item in the online shop, where they also tell you if the item is available for pickup at your local store.

Speaking of buying hard to get consoles, I got a Wii on launch day without much effort at all. I knew people were camping out overnight for it, and was not willing to do that. I was, however, curious to see how many people actually did that and so got up that morning about an hour before stores opened and just drove around to see what the lines were like. As expected Best Buy and Target and the game stores had long lines.

I went home and then it occurred to me...K-Mart sells video games, but I've never heard anyone talk about camping out at K-Mart for a launch of anything. I'm on the west coast (GMT+8) and it was about a half hour until stores opened. On the east coast (GMT+5) stores would have been open already for 2.5 hours, so I called an east coast K-Mart and asked if they carried Wii. They said they did, but were sold out.

So I figured it was worth a shot, and drove to K-Mart. There was a line: two people. They told me they got there about 15 minutes before me. I got in the line, and a little after that another person joined behind me. A few minutes later someone came out from the store and told us that they had two Wii in stock. I got ready to leave because there were two people ahead of me, but they turned around and said they were together and only buying one. The person behind me started making some obvious preparations to rush in as soon as the door opened to try to get ahead of me, but the person from the store said that they would be given out by the order we were in line.
Indeed. I owe my job to a failed outsourcing attempt.

Which was the great thing about flat design too. It brought basic good design principles to the discussion. Whether you liked the asthetic or not, the core guiding principles were the real win.

I feel like the creators of the Material Design site simply sought to formalize those principles and build upon them, which I think they have done a good job of.

Flipkart Will Grow with ‘Careful Consideration to Costs’, Says Binny Bansal
The reason for technical debt is the process. If you have a very waterfall like process like at a lot of large companies, everything has to go through change control.

Every change has to have business case, and becomes very bureaucratic. As a result no one proposes any changes to fix technical debt.

You can do it under the radar by attaching it to existing tasks, but these companies tend to be so project manager driven that any slippage in your delivery dates means you will get pressure applied to you. So you just do the bare minimum.

Result: Technical debt never gets fixed. Refactoring and trying to write good code is career limiting. Company wonders why they are so shit software, blames developers.

The elephant in the room is that companies follow the fixed scope, fixed budget model which basically fails every time.

Assuming you are implying that weight training is something that only men need do for this approach to work I would say that the health and fitness industry has done a huge disservice to women by suggesting that weight training is only for men.

My wife started lifting 3 years ago and loves it, she hated cardio and now rarely does any beyond weekend mountain biking but she lifts for an hour 5 - 6 times a week. The upshot of that change is that her back pain has gone, she can eat more calories than she used to (healthy food though), her posture is much better, she can lift heavy things without a problem and she carries less needless body fat. The benefit it had to her mountain biking was huge, she went from being last up the hills in out group to being the first up everyone with a decent amount of gap to second place.

There is no need for men and women to train differently.
I don't think so :)

In 1931, Dat Motorcar Co. chose to name its new small car "Datson", a name which indicated the new car's smaller size when compared to the DAT's larger vehicle already in production. When Nissan took control of DAT in 1934, the name "Datson" was changed to "Datsun", because "son" also means "loss" (損 son) in Japanese and also to honour the sun depicted in the national flag - thus the name Datsun: Dattosan (ダットサン Dattosan?).

Not to mention massively reduced biodiversity as a result of mass extinction. But hey, if it doesn't kill you or cost money, it doesn't matter, right?
My personal answer rather is: One is working on a kind of software with additional safety or security requirements, where CI would be a really bad idea.

This does not contradict to the idea that methods that are rather necessary for CI, such as really high test coverage (this is typically even a requirement for such a kind of software), automatic building (can improve productivity a lot) often also make sense in such an environment.
Sure its a lot of money, but its not ridiculous.

I disagree with the Internet is a tool... statement. The Internet is definitely not just a tool. It's a different type of consciousness; it's not completely mature yet as to approach the organic, human type, but it's definitely much bigger than a tool.

Your disconnection from it may help you rediscover your own consciousness and do things the old-fashioned way but it doesn't confer any superiority or higher levels of intelligence or higher information evaluation abilities on you.

If you want to gain weight while training I would recommend the If It Fits Your Macros diet (http://iifym.com) and eating about 500 cals above you total daily energy expenditure (TDEE) coupled with a decent, tried and tested weight training program that incorporates progressive overload.

Thanks for pointing that out. I'm not a vegetarian, but when I order a veggie burger I'm often asked if I am.

I eat meat once a week or so, and would have a hard time passing on some of the cultural norms around meat (Thanksgiving turkey, etc.) but eating 90% less meat means 90% lower meat-related emissions.

Of course, if your reason for being vegetarian is animal welfare and ethics, then this rings hollow ("I commit 90% fewer murders!")
Usual advice, as far as I know, is to lose max 1% of body weight per week. Please ask your doctor if 3kg/week is fine.
Or move to Europe, of course.
In real life it is possible to judge the mood of a group and avoid or defuse contentious situations. In addition, such groups are usually transient. Real people, especially friends of friends or other passing acquaintances, don't usually follow you home, and then to work the next day, and the next, constantly telling you why your opinion is wrong.

Online, there is no escape short of opting out entirely.

In all, social media gives a megaphone to strident opinions, and has a chilling effect on everyone else.
Why Expert Developers Still Make Mistakes
I wonder how many of these design decisions were actually made consciously, and how many are just the result of things like blind A/B testing.

If your scientific test shows you that feature set A has better user retention than feature set B, you don't need to worry yourself over why.
I would say it is the best model we came up with so far, while it being a model with tremendous flaws. It works for humans to gain progress with what we consider as progress, probably mostly growth in wealth and health. The biggest problem is, that it is fully based on exploitation of nature (which includes human beings) so far. That exploitation is unfortunately exceedingly dangerous to ensuring our vision of progress can endure.

Considering the article, I don't think it is useful to for example try to minimize a human footprint. If that is the goal we might as well drop dead to achieve it. The question is more around what kind of footprint it is. Does it allow us and the nature ecosystem to still evolve in a way it works towards our goals or not. The universe will not give a damn about the rearranging of atoms we do, but as we depend on how those are arranged to live, we have no choice to care or not.

YC posted a blog post listing vaguely that AWS, GCP, Clerky, Stripe will be taking part, but what are the specific details of the deals? How much hosting credits etc.

I used to host my own content, now I point my domain at Medium.

I get more than 3x as much traffic there, and I really enjoy the editing experience so I publish more. Their design is certainly more beautiful than anything I would ever create in the couple hours of spare time I have.

I don't have total control, but it's a trade off I knowingly make. I can still own my own site and redirect the URLs if I so choose.
Hosting a blog and put a couple of ads on it is one thing, it's practically free if you just put your static content on S3.

Hosting videos or streams is a whole other world, you need actual infrastructure and a lot of bandwidth.
Have you looked at LibraryThing? https://www.librarything.com
