There are a few good points here too https://medium.com/@alexanderwestin/5-icos-with-solid-fundam...

"There’s a lot of noise out there. Choosing which new cryptocurrencies to focus on can be hard. At the core of many of today’s cryptos planning to launch are are scams, half-baked ideas for projects, inexperienced teams, bloated capital structures or a goal more focused on the ICO than the importance of getting listed as a proper trading vehicle on secure exchanges thereby benefiting original token holders.

There are sites out there that do a fairly good job of curating and screening these kinds of factors. What it takes to be ready for a successful lift off can be defined by the following points:

Motive: Why are they doing this? If it’s simply to provide a return on an investment, then buyer beware. If they lay out a clear vision where the value proposition is easily understood this would be a good sign. It should be more than just a “we’re making the world a better place”. This will help it pass the scam test. What really helps pass the scam test is whether or not they have a working product you can take for a test drive.

Experienced Team: What has the team executed on in the past, together? It should first and foremost be technology related. You should be able to quickly look this up on the net. Get them on the phone if possible to see if the team even exists at all. I do this with every team I invest in.

Capital Structure: How much crypto are they offering to the public? Gauging demand for a crypto is key. Not everyone is going to want to take a position in it. These factors should determine how much crypto should be offered to the public. If these numbers are way off then it’s going to be hard for the crypto to move up without enough demand. As a token holder, this is an important aspect to analyze.

Raising the right amount money during their ICO: This connects directly to the point above. If they raise too much money during the ICO, they’re going to have to clear loads of ‘flippers’. These flippers are those that purchase tokens during the ICO and as soon as the team lists the token on the first exchange, they sell right into it creating a massive amount of sell pressure they’ll have to clear before anyone makes any real returns. It can take months and sometimes years before a team can clear sellers like this before the token can appreciate with any kind of real value."

> But in terms of the only measurement that really matters—satisfying requirements on time and within budget—I haven’t seen any methodology deliver consistent results.

Good, Fast, Cheap. Pick two.

That's what you are doing when you are pitting requirements, a time frame, and a budget against each other.

The first problem is this is a company wide process, not just software development. The only thing development tells you is how long it will take given the budget. Development doesn't define the requirements or the budget.

The third statement in the Agile Manifesto, which tends to get overlooked:

"Customer collaboration over contract negotiation"

That is entirely a business process and ultimately determines both the requirements and the budget. It is something that is sorely lacking at most companies, regardless of how hard their engineering department tries to follow agile. It doesn't work without the full company buy-in.
Sure, why not?

In such environments you anyway wouldn't deploy a new version from a vendor without extensive testing, so it's not something you do frequently and you can re-audit at the time. If you're paying a few million per year for a licence, then it's not an issue to spend $10k worth of manpower per upgrade to ensure that it goes properly.

>That's what I meant about it not being practical. Who would invest that amount of money?

Tons of organizations and governments could.

20 10 person teams * 5 methodologies = 1000 people, for a 1 month project = 1000 * $100.000 = 100M dollars.

In the grand scheme of things this is insignificant amount -- in a world where businesses spend $15 billion for buying Instragram. A military could do that kind of spending for buying a single airplane -- and such a research could potentially have a huge impact / savings on future soft-eng projects.

And it could be even subsidized or be tax-deductible. Or could easily drop to like $70K or $50K per month compensation.

The only foreign languages which come close to Lisp with a Python like syntax are Stanza [1] and Nim [2].

Stanza feels like a Lisp with infix syntax. The closeness to Lisp explains why Stanza makes a semantic difference between "f(x)" (which is a function application) and "f (x)" which is a sequence of two elements (f and x). Unlike Nim which is strongly typed, Stanza allows to mix typed and untyped data freely.

> I believe very strongly in the sovereignty of the individual.

You should be very interested then where your sovereignty comes from. At the moment it comes from having above yourself an entity so powerful that you and others around you (that are 10 times, 100, 1000 times as powerful as you) are equally insignificant and uninteresting as long as you pay your dues and don't make a fuss, ie don't try to overtake one another in violent way (even in some non-violent ways that in the past proved bothersome for the overlord so they were forbidden).

The world is full of military technology that just invites anyone with a goal to put the finger on the trigger. So far best invention to control this state of affairs is to have the most dangerous weaponary in hands of just few actors preferably with non-overlapping geographical zones of interest.
The flip side of this, of course, is that the boom/bust cycle is amplified by fractional reserve banking - banks create and destroy money by changing their lending policies in response to the current global financial situation, and this makes both the booms and the busts bigger. (Apparently, many economists missed this because their model of bank lending is wrong. Some Bank of England staff did a paper on it a while back, if I recall correctly.)

I would not trust him much, after I have seen the difference between how he framed situation and what the issue turned out to be. It sounds like the people in drupal organization ended with same opinion. Framing it being issue if comfortability is just manipulation.

I don't know who it is "we" in what you wrote.

I for one, feel no duty to include things that offend me. People, both men and women defend themselves when they are offended and those who don't are perceived as weak and treated as such. Also, trying to frame disagreements or ethical issues as "being offended" is yet another lately popular disengous framing.

None of that has anything to do with lack of trust toward Garfield.
This sits uneasily with me. I cannot remember any time when a Methodology was followed in practice. Just my bad luck?

The relogious people (mentioned in the article) harmed by false adherence. They adhered to the headlines and warped the substance of what the Methodology said. I remember (with pain) a place that wouldn't develop development scaffolding. They had rules for software development, good ones, motivated by achieving near-perfect uptime for customer-facing services. Implementing a scaffolding service or crontab to that standard was a lot of work.

Then there's the non-adherents who eroded the Methodology. Like the scrum shops that eroded scrum by deemphasising the product owner and stories until the result looked more like a waterfall.

The Methodologies may be broken as a whole but the practice I've seen was generally so distorting that I feel it's unfair to blame the Methodologies.
Mixed Messages about Public Trust in Science
I’m not sure what I need to elaborate. The NRA promotes wider gun ownership and more expansive concealed carry. Police use wider ownership of guns and concealed carry to justify more use of deadly force and militarization. In any other country than the US, this feedback loop would be obvious. In the US the NRA works to blur the obvious by talking about “responsible gun owners” while eliding the leakage between responsible and irresponsible owners.

The four states |00⟩, |01⟩, |10⟩, |11⟩ form a basis so any two-qubit state can be written as a linear combination of these vectors: ∣ψ⟩ = a|00⟩ +b|01⟩ +c|10⟩ + d|11⟩. If a certain coefficients in the linear combination are zero, e.g., b and c for the 00+11 state, or a and d for the second one, this doesn't have any special meaning.

The classification of states as separable vs entangled refers to the existence of a local description for the two qubits. Remember that |00⟩ is shorthand for |0⟩⊗|0⟩, meaning the state of the two-qubit system when qubit 1 is in state |0⟩ and qubit 2 is in state |0⟩.

Separable states can be written in the form (α|0⟩+β|1⟩)⊗(γ|0⟩+δ|1⟩) = ∣ψ1​⟩⊗∣ψ2​⟩. Note there is a clear local description for the first qubit ∣ψ1​⟩ and and a separate local description of the state ∣ψ2⟩. If Alice prepares her qubit 1 in the state ∣ψ1​⟩ and Bob prepares his qubit 2 in the state ∣ψ2⟩ then the combine description of their two qubits is what's shown above. The state of the combined system is describable as the tensor product of two separate local descriptions.

Entangled states, on the contrary, are states that cannot be described as the tensor product of two local descriptions. Specifically, there exist configurations a,b,c,d for a two-qubit quantum system such that

a|00⟩ +b|01⟩ +c|10⟩ + d|11⟩ ≠ (α|0⟩+β|1⟩) ⊗ (γ|0⟩+δ|1⟩)

no matter what choice of α,β,γ,δ you make. The phenomenon of entanglement is a quantum-only thing, that can't really be understood via classical analogies, since classical systems can necessarily be described as the combination of two local descriptions. The examples given are two of the four Bell states, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell_state , but there are many more entangled states. Here is a concrete physics example https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singlet_state#Singlets_and_Ent...

Interestingly, many of the quantum computing experiments perform involve the manipulation of entabgled states because they serve as proof that something quantum is going on...

I'm no fan of the NRA but let's be honest about cause and effect. Fear by the police, the proliferation of firearms in the US and the arms race between the people and the state are all consequences of the Second Amendment of the US Constitution working, arguably, as intended.

The NRA didn't cause any of that, although they do make hay of it for their own political and financial ends.

The article itself provides no proof that the people they are calling fake are indeed fake. That counts as being deliberately malicious in my book, but I'd think it would count as being 'biased' in anybody's book. That's all I wanted to bring to people's attention. Often just pointing it out to people is enough to help sway them away from making a mistake, and trusting this article as being on the level would be a terrible mistake for anyone to make.

FYI, since 2016 a certain Liberal Party Senator and Maria Ressa wants total control of social media and internet.

For those who have no idea about the Philippines and its politics. Rappler is a George Soros funded media outfit and Maria Ressa is well known Aquino (former president) or Liberal Party apologist. In the Philippines, Facebook, not twitter, is the more popular medium people used to engage in social media and politics and Rappler is losing the social media battle in Facebook that's why Maria Ressa is so desparate to get the attention of foreign media. And, from what I read Rappler is in trouble with funding.

The main reason why people are staying away from Rappler is becuase they spin almost all of their news about Duterte and the present administration. Yes there are fake news in Facebook but there are certainly a lot of fake news in Rappler, really.
I think methodologies could benefit by being treated like software, since that's effectively what they are - 'human' software to manage teams. That means:

* Frequent releases (i.e. do iterations or 'sprints' or whatever).

* Accept that your methodology has bugs and 'fix' those bugs between releases. Most software is horrible and buggy. Don't trust the "methodology gods" that they wrote a perfect piece of working software. It's probably half assed and worked semi-well for their specific use case so they 'released' it along with a reality distortion field.

* Accept that different use cases require different methodologies. Writing space shuttle code? You need vastly different team dynamics to a group of 10 people at a marketing agency running short lived campaigns.

* Follow the UNIX philosophy: don't have ONE methodology that you follow to a T - string together a bunch of small, self-contained rules and team processes that serve your purposes and iterate upon them.

tl;dr fuck scrum. it's the internet explorer of methodologies.

Facebook sometimes does good, sometimes does bad, depending on how its algorithms are tweaked. And it’s likely the algorithms are mostly tweaked to maximize profit.

Currently, the only way to get the company to focus its efforts on truthful news and protection from abuse is through regulation, which happily it looks like the EU has started doing.

But the deeper issue is Facebook being a for-profit, closed-data-garden, global social media behemoth who strangles competition aggressively. As a result, there are few other social media sources to get the truth from, and there is no real competitive pressure on Facebook to make it care enough about protecting its users from abuse.
So it's not Duerte that wants total control of media there, but people who he is after, do I read it right?
> I notice that as I get to know someone better, I can understand our differences by understanding the ways in which we process information differently. Of course there will be exceptions, but sales people and engineers (beyond their tasks/goals being different) have different strengths and weaknesses as people and processors...]

In my small experience I actually find the "role" to be the overriding factor in determining how an individual processes information, because their "problem" defines their perspective.

> how often do sales people and engineers problem solve together?

I'm breaking definitions here a bit because in the context I am drawing upon sales are not a generic salesman, but someone who has a deep understanding of the fairly niche and complex activity the customers are doing, actually they are scientists, but not coders, so I suppose that is quite unlike the ordinary salesman to be fair ... but In this context I find that first recognising our quite different perspectives and then trying to make each other understand our different perspective allows us to extract the relevant understanding from each other to converge on a reasonable solution (or not, sometimes once you both understand the problem better from both ends you realise it's actually something else entirely, or that attempting a solution would be a fools errand).

I find this extra step invaluable because I have more empathy with the real problem using their expert knowledge of the customer and activity, and they have empathy with the potential technical challenges at hand, and as a result are more willing to accept alternatives in the knowledge of the real technical cost. I can't say how applicable it would be to collaborating with a more generic sales department though.

It doesn't really matter who instigates that mixing of perspectives, but I find as a coder I have a tendency to zoom in and out of contexts more to better understand a problem... it's not much of a step to keep zooming out / panning until you can start digging into the perspectives of your peers.
The numbers kinda prove this point. 35% of these founders believing sexual harassment isn’t under-reported is a problem. That’s how you get here, people willfully living under a rock.
> it's just that if the value of the currency can be manipulated by small group, it is not removing the need for trust, just shifting it...

I think there's different aspects to "manipulated".

Large holders or exchanges can always manipulate the price, this is true for cryptocurrencies, the stock market and other things as well. Cryptocurrencies is however much less mature and more easily manipulated, but I foresee it to stabilize in the years to come.

If we're thinking of the miners to manipulate the coin I think the real genius of Bitcoin is they are heavily incentivized not to. All miners are heavily invested in Bitcoin's success so it's in their best interest not to destroy Bitcoin's value.

> I thought the point of decentralisation was to remove the need to trust others...

To be clear: what miners can do if they collude is try to revert transactions or block new transactions. If this happens it would be obvious and Bitcoin's value would be severely damaged.

There is trust yes, but it's more trust in the incentives behind Bitcoin than to specific miners themselves.
