At my workplace we're semi-agile but it's been mostly in response to middle and upper managers, who want to claim to be agile. Our practices haven't changed all that much, to be honest. Initially we were aiming for full-blown agile but it felt like too much of a straight jacket and there was a lot of resentment against being micromanaged.

Amazon will let you "deprioritize" any delivery service for your address EXCEPT Amazon Logistics. Any requests to deprioritize Amazon will get forwarded to a committee that will likely deny your request (of course, without telling you). It's an entirely different business process which I'm sure was deliberately made more difficult.

I have great experiences with USPS, UPS, and Fedex. Amazon Logistics has been terrible, and I suspect it's because of its GPS-driven gig-economy implementation.
The reason the US can't afford any of that is because it's not a priority. Every other modern country manages to pay for all that and now they are also putting up with large scale immigration such as with Syrian refugees.
If they aren't allowed to build denser, then taxing the underutilized land more won't result in more housing.

The lawyers get paid per weasel word!
I don't think they're in the same league, though. Facebook (and all social media) is far more insidious than TV ever was (and I probably watch maybe 2-3 hours of TV a week). Facebook et al are personalised to each user to capture them as much as possible. That isn't the case for TV, and nor have I ever been in a situation where people I'm working with are watching TV in between fragments of their attention being paid to the task in hand. That happened this very morning with a client whose studio I was fixing for them and discussing upgrades - every time my attention was on the computer for more than about 30 seconds, the smartphone was out, and notifications were being checked.

Most people I know are completely addicted to their smartphones. It's taken me about a year to stop reflexively checking mine every time I go near it, and even now I will do it if I'm not being mindful of my situation. I'm infinitely better off for it, and I can't imagine how someone who has always had one in their life will be able to imagine anything different (I'm 46, so fortunate to have lived before the current era).
Depends on your living situation. If you want a house in the suburbs with not terrible commute, it's going to cost you $200-400k in Warsaw vs probably three times as much in SV? This (and higher taxes in the US) can probably consume a lot of the salary difference. But, on the other hand, if you're ok with living in a small studio, you're going to make bank in SV.
It's interesting reading the comments in this thread as they seem to be very much from a US standpoint. Here in the UK it's rare for Amazon packages to be sent by anything other than Amazon Logistics. There are issues with misdelivery or leaving things in plain view, but the same is true of their competitors such as Yodel. The difference with Amazon is that even if they've taken a photo of a safe place as 'proof' of delivery for an item they don't argue if you report it as undelivered.

Prime gives you free next day delivery, including outside of business hours and weekends, and sometimes free same day depending on their logistics. Overall, buying from Amazon and having them deliver it is a better than average experience.
Google should have pummeled Uber. That company deserves massive correction, even if it means crippling it to ground zero. Truly deplorable company.

I've never seen people claim the Koch's literally aided and abetted the Nazis (this is something that's actually claimed about Soros in spite of fleeing Europe with his parents as an adolescent). There's a hatred and fear of Soros that surpasses his political activities. He's pretty active with bonafide "do gooder" stuff and it's equated with Pizzagate-style conspiracies and worse that you don't see on the opposite side of the fence. What I'm saying is, it isn't strictly political and it's certainly not equivocal.
Well, that's the downside of open source, you can't really demand for quick support & development. When we waited for so long, we needed to build it ourselves.

> If Mozilla were ever to offer its own paid email, calendar, and contacts subscription service, powered by open-source code, and backed with strong customer/data/privacy protections, I would sign up in a heartbeat.

Ditto. I use Apple products and accounts for this, but I recently set up both of my parents with Google accounts (buying them Chromebooks and integrating them with their existing Android phones and Gmail). I don't like having Google having so much of my parents' personal data, but the solution was cost effective and my parents are not on the front lines of the battles over internet privacy.

Apple is decent, but if I could choose an open-source, standards-based Mozilla offering for managing all this stuff I definitely would, for both myself and others.
I do agree that social media are harmful due to unrestricted power of censorship and manipulation they can exert over their users.

However, I am not a big fan of Soros, I think he is misguided (to be generous). I don't think he really wants democracy, in the sense of governance by people. And the narrative that social networks are harmful is part of that belief, that "elites" should somehow shape what "common people" think.

And the absurdity of this narrative actually became apparent couple days ago, when Daily Telegraph published an article attacking George Soros, with antisemitic undertones. The reality is, most traditional media are not better.

> You can do this almost immediately via live chat by just asking the CS rep to make a ticket requesting that $carrier be deprioritized for future deliveries to your address.

Doesn't work for Amazon Logistics. I tried a couple times a few months ago, and my ticket kept getting denied. Deprioitizing AMZL_US appears to be an entirely different business process than other carriers, as the rep I spoke to didn't know how to do it at first.

They might not deny your request if you claim your home is a prison, but didn't try that route.
Those numbers are insane.
I'm less concerned with Facebook's addictive tendencies and more concerned with the existential threat they and other social media pose to our democratic institutions. Perhaps Facebook feels the same as I do, and they're addressing the more critical issue first?

That said, I've seen little sign that they're taking truly significant steps to protect Americans from insidious foreign propaganda, even now. I still don't think they've even been fully truthful about the extend of what happened in the days leading up to the election. I know for a fact that Twitter is still lying about that time, and I suspect Facebook may be doing so as well, or at the very least failing to disclose all relevant data.

Most of the stuff I mention in comments that I forward to developers came from several years of free access to ACM and IEEE where I could follow-up on any line of research I wanted. I had to read hundreds of papers, esp experience reports, to get an idea of what would or wouldn't work in a variety of contexts for INFOSEC, high reliability, productivity, and maintainability. There have been countless people stunned by some of the prior works wishing they'd known about them before for their more recent explorations. Supports idea that having them available with something like SciHub for those without free access would've boosted researcher or programmer effectiveness for those using them.

EDIT: The CompSci people themselves that are pushing progress often cite paywalled works. That may also support that access to them would accelerate progress outside CompSci if its a prerequisite to developer certain ideas evolving from older ones.
Maybe because entrepreneurship is not the path to solving humanity's pressing problems? For many USians, health care is a pressing issue but maybe the best chance at improvement is through "EU-style" socialized medicine? My main problem is being afraid to lose my job and therefore my home -- could this be solved by a combination of basic income, better training schemes, and a general reduction in working hours? Other than that, my main issues are noise and pollution -- I guess cleaner and quieter cars would help but fewer cars would be a lot better. How do you make a profitable company around that?

Wow -- you're right, the overreach in "secure contexts" is astonishing. It looks like [1] is the main thread discussing this policy. The notion of "internal/isolated network services" is mentioned in one comment but never address, other than pointing out the difficulty of getting a cert for such a service. I think it's probably worth jumping into that discussion before the policy is set in stone.

Depends, I assume. The original Destiny had color palettes for every type of color blindness iirc, you could select whichever one you wanted. That was a really nice feature for a FPS, where you need to be able to determine allies/enemies at a glance.

If you didn't want to do separate palettes, which I imagine could be a lot of work, you could create your own. I imagine if you varied the tint/shade/tone enough you could (probably?) get a set of colors (with different hues) that would be differentiable across all forms of colorblindness.

Disclaimer: I'm not a designer _at all_. Somewhat on topic, my favorite quick tool for colors is colorhexa dot com. At the bottom of each color page they have a color blindness simulator.
Thankfully this is an option, and one we may have to take for our clients hosted with companies that do not make this process easy (or cheap)
I held IOTA from when it was $0.30 and always kept it on Bitfinex as to me, the wallet was unusable (sorry, I’m not an engineer). I hodl’d until a couple of months ago but couldn’t take having my coins on an exchange.

Interesting to choose Epic as an example. In my exit interview there (leaving for SV), the whole interview was about how they could be more competitive when hiring against Google etc (obvious answers were vacation policies and equity, where Epic was woefully behind). So Epic is (or was, ~3 years ago) definitely competing for the same developers as those big companies.
google used to own 7% of uber. I don't know what it is now, but lets say its 5% that stake would be 3.5bil at 72bil valuation . If they are getting .34% essentially they are losing money from GV losing money as a share holder while waymo is gaining some, but they are both google companies.

I don't see how this lawsuit benefits google shareholders as a whole. They just wasted money on lawyers.

I completely agree that the main problem is lack of spending money in the hands of people who actually need it. There's plenty of work to be done, if only the people who need it had money to pay for it.

However, capitalism (in the form of Walmart and its suppliers, for example) does seem quite efficient at supplying material things to poor people. More spending power in the right places would go pretty far to fix the problem, along with boosting the economy.

I think we're kindred spirits in a way. I don't find programming terribly vexing, either (I started when I was 12), but trying to teach others has given me more appreciation for how difficult it is to grok something so rigidly logical.

That said, I have no patience for the "smartest boy" syndrome or the, as you say, "LeetCode-like problems" given in interviews.

I suspect that these interviews do "work" in the sense that they successfully filter those who know what they're doing (albeit rejecting numerous ones who do as well), but they run the risk of encouraging elitism, rockstars and "smartest boy" cultures. (I also think programmers are uniquely bad a hiring because when we can't reduce a problem to something solvable by an algorithm, we tend to try to find the cheapest heuristic.)
There is nothing unethical in taking money away from a first world government in fair market deals, within the rules set out by those same governments. They employ tens of thousands of well paid experts who's job is exactly to maximize national interest and who would not blink an eye to crush investors like Soros, would the places be reversed.

Comparing that to poor individuals who were abused by large corporations is disingenuous.

In the mobile app, request directions of a location and there's a rideshare icon (a person holding a suitcase with their other hand hailing a cab). For me it's between the walking & bicycling options. You're presented with several options from both Uber & Lyft, each with a price range.

A ridiculous proposition given the current state of technology? Also yes.

If it happens, implemented in turnkey devices (such as SOHO routers) in a way that enhances vendor control rather than empowering home users with the option to use their own domain names and certs? Likely, that's the trend these days and doesn't show signs of receding.

That only works when you have a way to ensure that people who invent things have a way to make a living. Most people working on open source do it as volunteers; only a few have it as part of their job, and the ecosystem suffers.

Deep research requires investment or public funding. If you can get congress to fund it, then more power to you - but until then, people have to make a living from invention.
Spend can't really be the reason a company gets a public good, right? If I want to own a city park, and I spend a bunch of money trying to own it, that doesn't mean I do, in fact, own it or should own it.

Society should give (or "lend", in the case of a patent) a public good to a private entity if and only if the societal benefit outweighs the societal loss of giving out the good. Maybe your argument was shorthand for something along those lines, but I think it's important to distinguish.
