The other thing that the 787 does is open up availability of more gates at more destinations. If you're an airline and having difficulty getting gates at the traditional international airports, having the 787 is a competitive advantage.
The minimum ticket price is does not cover costs, but is available so everyone can come. Tickets are also sold at cost-covering level and on a donation basis.

Almost all work is done by the participants (I think toilet cleaners are paid, but that's it) and there is very little sponsoring, so it works out. Not sure what more money would help with.

I liked parts of the article but this passage really struck me as cultish:

> He [the founder] was right. He was absolutely right. In hindsight, this was something I [the employee] should have thought to talk to him about from the start. But it never occurred to me, and David’s insistence that we not teach the seminars was like a bucket of ice water over my head. I felt like I had been punched in the gut. The metaphorical rug had been pulled out from under me.

> I don’t fault David at all, and I even agree that he was right to do what he did. But at the time I felt immensely betrayed. Capistrano was supposed to be my baby! Why, then, had I just discovered a limit beyond which I was not allowed to take it?

You had a disagreement with your boss and you eventually came round to his position... but it's written like a paean to Basecamp's founder.

I get that the author could totally feel this way... I still would have asked for him to tone it down a notch, lest people think the company was forcing an apology.

There used to be a similar weather forecast in France, called "Météo marine". It was broadcasted until 2016 on one of the national radio station (France Inter) and had a cult-like following, even (especially?) among people that had no relationship to sailing (or to the sea in general).

It's funny to see that both countries had a similar weather report that was beloved for the same reasons. Even funnier is that some of the "sea areas" described in the OP were mentioned in the french report (eg. Viking)

> The main practical concern was that we need to make long-lived releases of our components that we would need to support in the long term. Git flow (and, at the time, its opinionated tooling) just assumes you have the one master branch for making releases.

This is patently false. I really don't know where or even how you got that idea. Git flow holds release branches quite prominently, and the use case they cover is a carbon copy of what you complained git flow didn't supported. It's as if the decision to push aside git flow was made in spite of being entirely oblivious to what git flow actually is in its most basic aspects.

They explicitly banned in scrum. Scrum is probably least agile of all the 'agile' methodologies.

I think of scrum as training wheels to get started for organisations that aren't used to operating in an agile fashion.

There are agile techniques that don't have sprints.
I guess so but usually people mean something that includes a distributed consensus algorithm.
> I think that's sorta what people mean when they say people are doing Agile wrong - they do these things that are explicitly discouraged.

Usually how it goes. It's like critics of communism. Or libertarianism. Maybe--just maybe--it's a shit ideology that is totally unworkable.

I think my current place is on their, what, 8th "reset" now? Where they try to correct their process because it's "not working." Despite not listening at all to the developers who are telling them week after week exactly what is wrong: management forcing unreasonable deadlines on developers and throwing all process out the window.

It would be more amusing if I wasn't one of those caught in this demented whirlwind.

I think I'll start a new fad. Instead of Waterfall, I'll propose we call it: Typhoon Development. It's where management focuses all their attention on a single project for a short period of time, stressing the developers to the breaking point and eventually moving on. But not before completely destroying the code base in their wake.

Both Epic and Cerner are making at least some strides toward opening up their platforms (Epic with App Orchard, and Cerner with Ignite, SMART on FHIR etc.) Athena has MDP ("More Disruption Please.") I get the feeling these organizations have at least come to the realization that they need to open up--granted their denial up to this point leaves them with a lot of catching up to do. But access to the data that exists in those systems is a pretty big carrot for integration partners to help push adoption.

The modern conception of sovereign states that people seem to think is some ancient invariant is actually the result of the Peace of Westphalia and the Congress of Vienna. The post colonial borders were shaped by that understanding.

Essentially you're following the git flow workflow.
No, "critical thinking" is evaluating ideas and arguments, including one's own, for flaws. That you conflate it with engineering further suggests that you don't actually know what it is, and continue to over-value the "hard" skills beyond their (admittedly incredible and irreplaceable) worth.

"Yes, it is an energy hog. There are a lot of industries that consume more energy than bitcoin mining."

It'll probably get worse for a lot of people. I work in the public sector, in a municipality. Our IT department has been relatively big on the server side, utilizing consultants ever so often to ensure best practices.

To be honest I'm not an operations guy, and never have been, but I do work in management and my good friend who heads the IT department is struggling to find new roles for the operations people as we're heading into the cloud. It's quite obvious to be frank, but without on premise servers we don't as many need techs to run our setup, and we'll probably need a lot less consultants as well as Microsoft offers this as part of the Azure package.

Financially it'll save us around 16 million Danish annually, which is roughly 32 jobs, and that's just operations.

In development things are changing as well. When we did our first webpage it was a huge project, involving a lot of developers. The most recent one didn't require a single developer because we used a standard product that one of our designers happened to know.

Not that it's all bad. We're looking for people who do blockchain, machine learning and big data, as well as project-managers who understand both digitization and business. Of course these requirements will pose a significant challenge for a huge part of the "traditional" IT workforce, which unfortunately isn't very business savvy or mathematical. I mean, parts of it is certainly very good at math, but typically not the people we can afford in public IT.
I want to measure novelty as the length of time since all of the components of the thing, including the market for the thing, have existed before the patent was filed. You then grant patent for some constant multiple of however long that period was.

Soooo... be in the top half? Seems reasonable but as you select into more competitive demographics, it gets quite challenging. If you're up against teams of PhDs at well funded companies, that's strong signal that it may get hard to stay in the top half.
That the FDA does not regulate the practice of medicine is technically true- doctors can and do use (approved) medicines for non-approved uses. But as you also mention, this informal, "non-evidence based" approach has downsides such as the risk of malpractice suits. If a doctor tries treating a sepsis patient with corticosteroids and vitamin D, instead of with the current "evidence based" standard of care (massive doses of antibiotics,) and then the patient dies, the patient's next of kin can sue for massive damages, potentially ending the physician's career- despite it being the medically more effective thing to do. As far as the courts would be concerned, this could be equivalent to the doctor opting for homeopathic medicine in place of antibiotics; one treatment not supported by the evidential standards of medical care is about as good as another, to a lawyer. Since doctors can't risk their medical licenses on a daily basis and stay doctors, they treat patients with suboptimal methods, and people die because of it.

So to say that the issue is funding for FDA approval is probably an oversimplification- equally powerful studies without FDA involvement may or may not suffice, that's a question having to do with law and other non-science factors. But the FDA has established what is the broadly recognized "gold standard" of establishing the medical effectiveness of an intervention.

That's what I was getting at. The world is running out of fresh lithium and meanwhile this used lithium is polluting landfills. Crazy!!
While this is a start, we need a more rational debate about technological trends and their impact.

We (technologists) all get very excited about the possible future (Internet, Social Media, cryptocurrencies) without being honest with the problems with these new worlds at scale.

The way it works right now:

1. Get angry about state of current world (at different times: IBM, Microsoft, Facebook - or current trends like social media)

2. Evangelize how new trend will make everything better (today, decentralization and cryptocurrencies)

3. Realize that new world has its own set of issues as it grows larger, and external elements co-opt it for their own needs

I wish that we had more thoughtful debates about the tradeoffs, rather than seeing new technologies as a panacea.

Entrepreneurs who help grow new industries need the self awareness to realize the potential problems with the world they help create. As engineers, we're very attuned to potential ways our system can be technically hacked, but for some reason forget to think about the other ways these systems can be "hacked".

For anyone interested, you should read Tim Wu's The Master Switch. It's a unique window into the idealism of past eras (radio vs telephone, telephone vs telegraph) - and often disappointment that the early evangelists eventually feel.

Demand may be the driver, but the transmission is broken. There's zoning, and environmental regulations, and NIMBY opposition, and on and on.

After much back and forth, it's ready for a final decision this winter, with the earliest possible year of operation being 2025. And that's with the demand being clearly there.
It's crazy how much work they're putting into the titles. Of the 10 most recent title changes on this site, I count 7 that are grammar and wording fixes done solely to make the titles more readable and consistent, with no component of damping down editorializing or promotion --- in other words, with no "policy" objective, but just to quietly make the site better.
My bad, you were right, was just a coincidence.
At that point, it gets a little silly honestly. If you can modify the login page to have a login form, then you can also modify it to bypass any type of security system you could ever dream up. The GP here seems to want the support forum to have an independent password. Even if they did that, if we're completely changing the login form, you could change it to say "due to new security features, you now log into our forum using your master password, please enter it below". So exactly what is it that they should do, and how would that be more secure than what they're doing now?

Why “lonely?” This sounds lovely to me. The main cost of most goods is the labor, and by eliminating that you drive the marginal cost way down (and as another poster observes, when the cost of labor is eliminated, why ship finished goods long distances?)

This is my understanding as well. Additionally, I believe you can send encrypted attachments over an unencrypted connection. Furthermore, https://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2013-01-25/pdf/2013-01073.p... suggests that it's acceptable to send patients unencrypted PHI if they've explicitly agreed to accept the risks associated with that (although I'd be extremely cautious in those situations)

EPIC and Cerner are doing their best to, simultaneously:

2) Maintain their position as gatekeepers, and use that position to extract as much revenue as possible. New startup wants to deploy tech at your hospital? Hospital probably will end up paying more to Cerner for the integration, than the new tech.
> I'm not absolving anyone of anything,
> and I'm curious what I might have said
> to suggest I am.

The whole 'hard and soft skills in tech' conversation depends on uncritically swallowing the belief that technically-minded people are naturally less empathetic.

This perspective is utilised by people that want to raise their own position in relation.

I'm not suggesting you're purposefully letting people off the hook -- I guess the term 'absolving' made it seem conscious. What I'm saying is that people in tech are normal, and so the whole conversation about bringing empathy and other soft skills into tech is fundamentally disrespectful and abusive, and that people are doing this for selfish reasons.

Honestly, to me, the whole conversation about people in tech feels corrupted by ridiculous caricatures: 'The Tech Bro', 'The Socially Unaware Autist', 'The Rockstar Asshole', etc. This isn't a normal state of affairs: it's an effect of the constant tech tabloid media cycles. We're basically left with a mess of unreflective stereotypes that distort everything they touch.
If I understand correctly, OP is suggesting that these are not problems of scale but rather that scale itself is the problem in the sense that it's untenable for humans.
What Stripe Atlas costs

Complete package

Stripe Atlas has been designed as a turn-key solution for entrepreneurs. Atlas components cannot be used individually (e.g., you can't use Atlas just to open a bank account without also incorporating a company.)

Establishing and running any business has both initial and ongoing costs. Stripe Atlas has a one-time fee of $500 (all prices are in USD) that covers:

* Incorporating your company in Delaware

* Opening your business bank account at Silicon Valley Bank

* Registering your company with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS)

* Your first year of Delaware registered agent services
