Teacher collaboration tool to open source lesson plans.

Create a platform like facebook or github for teachers to collaborate on planning an entire unit. At the moment each teacher does it alone or maybe a department may get together and create some content.

But there are thousands of schools tens of thousands of teachers, all of them building lessons and delivering them.

Build in testing. assignments. progress. etc.
Yes it does, that's why it's called waterfall. Water doesn't flow back up the waterfall.
Imagine finding a penny on the sidewalk. Happens all the time right? Now imagine I asked you to go out and find a half-dollar on the sidewalk, but not just any one, a specific one. But don't worry, you don't have to look everywhere, it's almost certainly in one of the US states on the East Coast.

That's the difference here. We don't spend all our time scanning the entire sky down to the dimness level that Planet 9 could be spotted, we simply do not have the resources. Our telescopes give a soda straw view, so we miss a lot of what's going on, most of it in fact. If someone knew already where Planet 9 was in the sky we could point our telescopes there over a few days and confirm it. But we don't, we only know a general area in the sky that it could be, and actually detecting it will require dozens of observations from some of the largest telescopes on Earth.

On the other hand, we have detected lots of other objects in the Solar System that would be more difficult than Planet 9 to detect if we had to look for just them, but there are lots of those, and we find them easily by accident as we perform other observations or through surveys. Just as if we decided to go looking for lost change on sidewalks we could find a great many coins, but if we were tasked with finding a specific coin somewhere on the East Coast it would take a tremendous effort (or tremendous luck) to find it.
Isn't that what waterfall was? Replicating building a house? Gather requirements, design it, plan it, build it.
I just picked up a dev board and started making it flash LEDs, put patterns on the seven-segment display, then had a play with soft CPUs. This gave me ideas on how to use the technology in my job - embedded networking.

If you are coming from a software background then maybe look at getting a board with one of the ARM+FPGA hybrid chips, you can run a proper OS on the ARM CPU and I would guess that the bus interface to the FPGA part will be simpler than using Intel's UPI.
> The US didn't have that stuff a century ago either, and the birth rate was higher.

Ah yes, back when one (1) unexceptional salary could actually support a few humans, shelter, etc.

> They drive up taxes, causing more families to feel they need two incomes...

I’m pretty sure the stagnation of wages while costs of living kept increasing played a way bigger part of this than a few percentage points of tax changes.
This for sure! My theory has also been that it's possible they literally just needed to add "if (subscriptionApproved) {" to the top. Not exactly a ton of code!
Yeah, the tendency to 'ghost' people is a huge problem in society now, and companies seem to prefer it to just saying 'no'.

But it's especially bad when you've already gone through most of the application process beforehand. Being ghosted after a job application? Annoying, but possibly understandable if the demand was really high. Being ghosted after going through multiple interviews, a coding test and everyone basically implying you've got the job in the bag?

Now that's awful. If someone's spent hours/days/weeks of their time going through all these steps, you at least owe it to yourself to tell them if they've got the role or not. Even just saying 'Sorry you don't have the job, we chose another candidate' is better than radio silence after all that wasted time.

Because European courts and regulatory authorities are not run by gibbering morons. The Data Protection Directive was materially similar to the GDPR and was enforced by the same supervisory authorities. The DPD gave member states total discretion as to the level of fines, with no upper limit. I have found no evidence whatsoever of irrationally large or unreasonable fines under the DPD.

You could be breaking the law in any number of countries. What steps are you taking to comply with the laws of Saudi Arabia or North Korea?
A bad team will always find a way to pay lip service to any process or workflow you throw at them and still fall back on their old dysfunctional habits.

That’s not true. When German immigrants were new, no one believed they would integrate since they refused to give up speaking German. Catholics like the Irish were viewed with suspicion because they revered a pope.

> I remember trying a vive game that had arms but sometimes they would contort into impossible poses and it was extremely jarring [.....] the visible hands on the touch controllers on rift is just fantastic.

Neither of the things mentioned here are specific to Vive or Rift.

A Rift game can give you arms that contort into impossible poses, just like a Vive game can give you visible hands. It's just software and whatever the author of whatever game you're playing decided to do.

Did you play a game worked in both Vive and Rift, and the versions were different or something?

Now something that would be interesting: writing python extensions in rust.
I don't think you can have it both ways- some things will close down/leave EU over this because they can't afford to comply, or rather they can't afford the risk of being found noncompliant. I think the law is at the very least a good start, but like they say, you have to break some eggs to make an omelet.

It's easy to claim over-reaction when it's not your hide at risk.
Definitely much better than the scripted Eliza, but I agree with you. Let's have Duplex negotiate my comcast plan, then we'll talk about true AI!
No what makes sovereign money have value is the threat of violence. The government could force the population at the end of a gun to accept payment for the goods and services it wants with no taxation (i.e. give me X and take this paper token in exchange or you and your family will be shot). Taxation is just a more polite version of a shakedown.

In practice since most taxation is just used to pay for goods and services the population wants there is popular support for taxes. In places where taxation is more outright theft, tax avoidance is rampant.

The one thing I like about a well-designed VPN is it's work done once on a relatively-simple component that can pay dividends protecting many, many, network-facing apps. Those will usually be highly-complex, not made by security experts, coded partly/wholy in unsafe languages, and could even change a lot increasing misconfigurations. A good VPN often reduces a hard problem of defending all that software from network attack to a simpler problem of installing the good VPN with a configuration forcing everything through it. This is, of course, not excuse to ignore other vectors. It just does a lot for user with minimal effort. Excellent ROI.

That's why tunneling proxies were used in high-security environments to protect messaging, voice, and video before apps were developed that had built-in protection. Just reuse the trusted, link encryptors or VPN's watching out for covert channels like traffic patterns. Fixed-rate, fixed-size with non-leaky, error messages covered that. Basically no effort to leverage them vs developing per-app solutions needing arbitrary protocols.
> The bulk of the embedded developers right now are aging boomers who are soon to be exiting the workforce. I barely know anyone else my age who does this stuff.

Just for some context, a decade ago I was saying the same thing. Glad to see _that_ hasn't changed in the meantime. It's also a core part of my motivations for having _left_ embedded in the first place.
"In what follows I’m assuming that we’re talking about a project rather than merely a production line for rolling out bug fixes and features. In the latter case you can use Agile tools like Scrum to deliver code incrementally, and come to no great harm. In talking of a ‘project’ however, I’m thinking of a larger program of work in which an entire solution has to be designed and delivered, (more or less) complete. Such projects have distinct beginning, middle and end phases, all of which must complete successfully if the project is to succeed."

This doesn't make any sense and is contradictory.

It seems you admit that Agile works for "Rolling out bug fixes and features" and to "deliver code incrementally" without "coming to great harm".

Then you say that this is somehow different from "an entire solution [that has to be] designed and delivered".

What precludes "an entire solution" from being developed in an Agile fashion?

Presumably, agile would be to build out the skeleton, and incrementally add small working features over time in increments such that at the end, you had working software that was what you wanted.

You'd put your skeleton it into beta use as soon as possible once it provides any value, and get frequent feedback to iterate.
Partially. But I think waterfall has (at least) two major weaknesses.

The requirements are textual. They should be visual like a blueprint.

A real custom home is typically visited and inspected regularly by the future home owner during construction. An improvement for waterfall would be a periodic delivery to the user of intermediate builds of the product – no matter how incomplete.

Principle 4 of twelve: "Business people and developers must work together daily throughout the project."

It would be odd if "business people" just meant the developers' upper management within their firm; supervising costs and parking spaces; but not those without a stake in using the software that results, say.

I suggest seeing a doctor rather than ask diagnoses to strangers on the internet :)
That is resolved today by subsidiary clauses in laws.

If owned or controlled by big-co in an non arms length manner, then it wont be considered a 'small company' in terms of the GDPR.

Edit: These corporate control laws have teeth, otherwise every small & large business owner would do something similar by making all of their corps 'offshore' in some zero tax jurisdiction and pay 0 tax locally except for business done actually in the territory itself.
it's much more simple than that.

While there are 16,777,216 available addresses under 10.0.0.0/8, most organizations will do the reasonable thing of allocating nice regular subnets for each area and use case, so you can easily end up with one org using things like

10.0.0.0/16 for infra
10.8.0.0/16 for allocating end user /24s
10.16.0.0/16 for whatever

and then that org will merge with another who as it turns out did exactly the same thing, and now the internal subnets all overlap. Even though each company may only be using a few thousand addresses, the address space itself overlaps.

Even if you can plan things ahead of time and divided the /8 into 32 /13s or something and give each sub company 500k addresses, you'd still be screwed on a merger.
This just feels like a bloody straw man, though. Poorly written file in X not as good as well written file in Y. News at 11. :)

Substitute "Clever" for "Poorly", if you'd prefer.
To anyone who reads "Measure What Matters," I strongly recommend as an additional book "How to Measure Anything" - I think it'll be really useful in enabling people to measure things that they may have previously assumed to be immeasurable, which means that these things can then be better optimized for and improved.

This hurtful stereotype doesn't even work for the majority of the Bin Laden family (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bin_Laden_family), let alone the majority of Muslims.

I think that MAYBE a case can be made against the Wahhabi philosophy / sect (and similar sects). Maybe, but that's the furthest I'd go towards deriding a religious group in its entirety. Things are especially complicated because a large number of pro-Wahhabi Saudi princes are working very closely with the USA on this issue.

To be fair, they are not wrong. I looked into getting real time cell location data a while back, and the security was basically IP whitelisting.
Maybe it's worth trying a different hallucinogenic before you throw in the towel?
Just to be clear from his discovery you wouldnt be able to look that info up. Only the most recent location. That doesnt mean somone hack the site 18 months ago and kept tabs on every single person of high interest. But then you can just buy membership from the website and obtain that data totally legally.
New computational techniques are also being developed for analysing collision data, CERN are not just sitting on their hands; However the new science there does not all sound as exciting as electroweak unification or the discovery of the antiproton at the Bevatron and so on. The LHC got one big win (the Higgs) and many smaller victories (copious quark gluon plasma production and a detector especially designed to study it, more charm production than we ever had before, I could go on for hours). However "more charmed mesons produced than before" doesn't ignite the layperson's imagination and capture their support like exoplanets or new bosons do.
The technical language serves to divorce the purchaser and the manufacturer from any moral responsibility by disguising what it's for. Nobody would buy a remote-controlled bomb for soldiers to blow each other up with, but a "man-portable delivery system" sounds much better.

The more technical the language the more dangerous the weapon.
Americans do actually want to do ag jobs, they just expect decent working conditions. Many employeers prefer illegal immigrants because they are more easily exploitable in regards to not only wages, but also safety.
Sure, but how often is that a task where you and your peers have all been exhaustively trained for about 8 years on specifically that specialty?

Every time something like this comes up, we see similar objections. They normally take one of three forms:

1) You are overreacting. The EU isn't going to come after some small fry operation, or some non-business entity.

This is an easy thing to say when you're not personally exposed to the risk. Would advocates of this position be willing to personally indemnify open source projects / side projects against GDPR enforcement? I suspect not, but perhaps there's a business opportunity in giving them the opportunity to do so. Sort of a GoFundMe for peer-to-peer insurance.

2) The GDPR is all about not being a jerk with your users' data. As long as you don't do that, and do relatively minor things X, Y and Z, you're totally fine.

This flavor of argument might actually be true, but if I'm assuming the risk I'm probably going to want to hear it from someone with skin in the game, like a lawyer, who I can point to if it turns out to be false. Even if I had the desire to read through the law (I don't) and understand the specific implications for my project (I wouldn't), the very act of doing this represents a cost that I could more simply avoid by excluding EU residents from my service. I'd choose the latter path every time, and put "support EU residents, check into the legal implications of GDPR" on the roadmap, for "someday".

3) You're exposed to millions of risks anytime you do anything. This is just one more and you're making a big deal of it.

Often this accusation comes with a subtext that you're trying to prove some political point, suggesting that you're making a decision in bad faith to "punish" the EU. Well, I personally think something like the GDPR is needed, and have no particular axe to grind, but I also have no idea if the legal exposure is serious, and no particular desire to put in the work to find out.

Yes, business, or really any activity, involves legal risk. In this case though, the risk is pretty serious, first of all because the penalties (20M Euros max) are serious, and secondly because it will be very difficult to claim that you've never heard of the GDPR. If Tonga creates some law impacting side hustles on the internet, at a minimum I can credibly claim to be unaware of that law. The GDPR on the other hand has been all over the news for weeks. I've clearly heard of it (especially now that I've commented on a discussion of it on HN).

My feeling is there's a real risk that this law will lead to a general practice of non-EU individuals, and non-EU startups launching MVPs to at least temporarily block the EU to avoid unnecessary risk. That's not the intended purpose of the law, but laws have unintended consequences all the time. If the EU wants to avoid this unintended consequence they should provide a clear, objective, and cheap (in terms of both time and money), set of instructions that will allow projects like monal to continue operating there. If such a set of instructions exists, I haven't seen it.
If the result of the GDPR is that only big companies, employing as much lawyers as developers, will be able in the future to provide the tools I need, then yes I would be willing to give up my rights under the GDPR. Because what is the alternative, if all small messenger provider have to give up everybody will be using FB? Is that better for privacy then the current state?
I also believe so.

In an age with surveillance everywhere and when video and audio are so important in litigation I would make a tamper-proof camera that would sign every video/audio it produces. Tricky part would be to keep the signing key away from bad hands.
That's only the case if you store personally identifiable information in your logs. IPs don't count as long as you're collecting them for security purposes and don't have a way to identify a person using the IP. Plus, if you rotate out your logs and clean them up regularly, you don't really need to worry about it. (That's what the EU lawyers at my work told us.)

Database backups are only a problem if you save them forever, though it sounds like you are. GDPR generally requires that you regularly archive, rotate out, and clean up old data.
> A ring is a set.

No. It is a set together with additional structure. Without this additional structure you just have a set, not a ring.

> So is a group.

Again, no. It is a set together with additional structure.

Note: The collection of all groups is not even a set!
