Yeah, but I don't belong there. I don't believe in the whole purpose of the organization. So it would feel like a big weird lie to show up to mass each week just to mingle.

Plus I have no idea what one does at a church/synagogue/mosque. How does that social scene work? I suppose on some level that's an argument for going there to see what happens.

And maybe if I get that lonely one day I'll do that.
Just had a quick look and you can do that. You can set the time zone as Floating Time and it will be independent from the time zone.
If you think that what the corporate documents say is the only or most important possible form of commitment between founders, we probably have very different philosophies about business and probably life.

To give a related example, I've sold a company to an acquirer for whom the deal was extremely material, and for whom I was a very key employee, who tied me down for two years with nothing more or less than a promise and a handshake. They were smart: I was far less likely to leave during that time than I was after another acquisition where I had big golden handcuffs.

(Also, I have trouble understanding the "10 years later" scenario. Is the assumption that there's a founder breakup and... everyone just forgets about it and goes about their business? THAT sounds nuts.)
And final thought, "correct" or not, a guiding principle that's proven useful over time: individual tickets should deliver true pieces of "value" which is to say, once deployed, the software does more of what people need than before. So when a ticket is "done," it means something was improved however it was needed across all levels of the stack.

None of this "button here" "wire it up later" "now add the db table" etc.

But is it really that useful to track bugs separate from other work? I find that most often it's even hard to agree what IS a bug and what isn't. There is just "work".

In my experience, the problem is always in people, not tools.

Nowadays, Agile/Scrum is a buzz word, every company is trying to get it, but rare people understand it. They buy tools (like JIRA), they do standups, they assign story points...and then things become messy and it all turns into into a glorified waterfally kanban with story points.

JIRA is just a tool (bloated, maybe), nothing wrong with it. Personally, I find it to be OK -- no major complaints about it.
Thanks for all the responses.

My thoughts on a few of the points raised:

• Does meat cause cancer? I don't think so; I find the arguments unconvincing, and the rebuttals, convincing. In particular see:

- https://academic.oup.com/af/article/8/3/5/5048762

- http://peakhuman.libsyn.com/dr-david-klurfeld-on-meat-not-ca...

• Cow feed efficiency, clearing out forests, etc: Yeah, these forms of raising cattle are bad. I get my beef from here:

https://stemplecreek.com

The cows eat grass and live in harmony with their environment.

• Humane treatment: If you think killing an animal is inhumane, full stop, then sure, from that perspective, it is always inhumane to eat animals. I respect if you have that belief and are a vegetarian as a result.

But it's not a belief I hold.

Everything that lives is going to die; that's the game. The best we can hope for is to live well and to die well. We can give this to the animals we eat.

(I sometimes think of it like this: If all of Earth were some sort of human farm for aliens, would I want them to go vegetarian, replacing humans with vast fields of grain and synthetic labs growing human-like meat? No, I would not. I'd rather be a farm animal than not exist at all.)

• Demonstrate it works: Well, so far so good for me! I've tried eating vegan, vegetarian, the standard "well-balanced diet" (veggies, fruits, rice, potatoes, a little meat, a little fish), low-carb (veggies, meat), and now, pretty much just meat, with a little of fruit now and then. So far, the meat diet is _by far_ the most amazing for me.

I don't get sleepy after I eat, my stomach feels great, I'm getting stronger and leaner, and I'm still just as excited to eat a piece of meat as I was two months ago. We'll see how it works out with time!

I came to this way of eating because I was experiencing (1) frequent stomach aches (2) tiredness after eating (3) slowly but ever-increasing fatness. So I did a bunch of Googling around and looked at a bunch of accounts on twitter. The stuff I found the most compelling ended up being:

I'll try to explain the perspective some people have, including myself, about tools like Jira.

I do not believe that what Jira attempts to accomplish is possible. Organizations tend to utilize Jira to automate project management. I see that as a mistake. I want managers and project owners to be forced to keep the entire project in their head as much as is humanly possible. Software development is a messy process with a lot of moving parts and cliffs someone needs to be looking for to avoid going over.

With Jira I see people attempt to essentially automate keeping track of the project and they stop having a high level and deep understanding of the project. I think Jira helps make certain role's jobs easier, as opposed to making them perform better. In shops where Jira is heavily utilized, most developers and managers tend to get in their own little worlds at the expense of the project as a whole. Which again is because not having to worry about the entire project is more comfortable for everyone at the expense of the overall success of the project.

I find that smaller more specific tools solve enough of the problem of project organization and tracking without the side effect I described above.

I know this is a bit of a hot topic and I understand and appreciate that many people do not share my opinion.
I find many of the critical comments to be shortsighted, especially those talking about trust/credibility. Do people really believe folks will check this site then run over to book an international ticket straight after?

This is an awesome site to get a general idea where I (or my friends & family) can and can’t travel with and without extra work. It has a nice interface, a good collection of information, and is easier to browse than, say, Wikipedia on mobile.

If I’m actually interested in locking down and going on a trip to somewhere where I may possibly need a visa, of course I’ll do additional due diligence with the embassy, which the site often helpfully links.

This is the point everyone needs to recognize. I predict we will also reach a point where viruses can be engineered, and engineering defenses will be a public health concern.

This is the world to come, and ethics aren’t a viable defense. The gene pool is going to be stirred up in ways we’ve never seen before, and it’s going to be a good reason for us to stop focusing on our differences and start thinking and acting as one species.
Space also comes with a natural vacuum, not just zero-g. That might be more interesting for a reactor since you would only have to care about shielding the magnetic coils instead of building and cooling a vacuum vessel at the same time.
Do you guys literally not understand how the network works?
I've found jira works fine except for two things: 1) it's been around for a long time and still doesn't seem to be a good match for agile and 2) once people drink the kool-aid it starts getting used for everything.

It works great as a todo list of things that need to be done.

But lots of places treat it as the single source of truth and stuff it full with every thing from high-level decisions down to acceptance criteria describing the color of a button.
I think the theory is to do a simple end-to-end implementation for $xy and then redo the UI when you add $ab. Or the other way around, if the customer wants $ab first. So the dependency isn't a static thing, it depends on prioritization of the user-facing features.

Implicit in this is the assumption that you're not scared of redoing the internals or redesigning the UI as you add features.
Plasma instability is just awful. See [1]. I thought he was going to go on about some approach to active stabilization of plasmas. But no. There's been work done on that, but it's been years. Anyone following that?

Then there's the first wall problem.[2] Fusion generates heat and neutrons. Lots of neutrons, which break atoms apart. Finding something which will stand up to that in an experimental machine has been tough. Finding something which will stand up to that in a long term production environment is really tough. In a fission reactor, you can use water to slow and stop the neutrons, and you just get some tritium as a byproduct. A fusion reactor's first wall faces a vacuum, so that's out.

I suspect business customers might have more of a stick to beat O2 over the head with, rather than average people with a cell phone contract.

e.g. Transport for London's dot matrix displays could not show bus times for the 14 or so hours the network was down, apparently iPads issued to NHS staff to manage patient reports used O2 sim cards so that couldn't work either. Probably a whole range of small to medium enterprises affected too.
The end of the article hints at it, but I think this stuff really represents the "high end" of the fast fashion cycle. You got the logo, and you spent enough money to feel like you've bought something premium, but actually it's low quality, disposable tat.

I'm vaguely aware of a lot of this simply due to working with a tracking product for fashion brands, but where I'm really aware of it is with watches, which are a bit of a hobby for me.

Notably, brands such as MVMT, Vincero, Daniel Wellington, and Michael Kors, take the cheapest of the cheap quartz movements, case them up - particularly with MVMT and Vincero - in cheap, generic cases, with straps made of the lowest quality materials, slap their logo on, do a ton of fantastic social media marketing, and then chuck on a ridiculous markup to charge sometimes hundreds of dollars or pounds for these effectively disposable time-pieces.

MVMT in particular have come in for a lot of flak recently, because people have started calling them out on the fact that you can buy the exact same watch, minus the MVMT logo, on Alibaba for $5 as opposed to $100.

Still, overall these brands are absolutely killing it, and aren't having a great effect on more established brands that produce higher quality timepieces. These are brands that offer objectively better products, but aren't nearly as savvy with their marketing: Timex, Seiko, Orient, Citizen, Tissot, Inox, Hamilton, Zeppelin, Junkers, Junghans, and the list goes on. None of these specialise in luxury watches, but in the same price range as the fashion brands they do offer good watches, many extremely stylish, that will last for decades.

Premium mediocre might also be the reason that TAG Heuer get such short shrift amongst watch aficionados. They're nominally a luxury brand, and they certainly do make some decent timepieces. For example, the Monaco is a classic and - for a horology geek - their high end chronographs are seriously impressive (and way the hell above my price range).

Nevertheless, you really get ripped off on TAG's entry level quartz pieces. These are still kind of pricey, but the quality isn't there. For example, they will cheerfully charge you well north of £1000 for a quartz Aquaracer with a misaligned second hand. Not OK, but a lot of people buy into it because it makes a TAG Heuer attainable.

Yes, that was a big bit of feedback I was very happy to see.

Mature empowered teams will also discuss the cost/benefit to determine if the feature is really worth the effort entailed in light of the thousand other priorities in the backlog. Sometimes this leads to alternate, more efficient approaches to addressing the need or at least a healthy discussion on the true MVP of the feature.

We don't need countdown clocks, we need door-to-door commutes at 200kph with no stops or train changes. The Boring Company should be able to drill around and under.

The Subway is like something from a bygone era:

> All track on the New York subway (and on most American rail) is broken into sections, here about 1,000 feet long. An electric current is constantly running in a loop through each section. When a train enters a section, it short-circuits the loop, which allows the system to know that the section is occupied. The signals behind it automatically turn red.

> Fixed-block signaling systems, in use since the late 1800s, keep trains from getting too close to one another. The neat thing about subway signals, as opposed to the ones you find on the road, is that they actually force you to stop. When a signal is red, a footlong metal T called (appropriately) a “train stop” protrudes above the track; each train car has a corresponding “trip cock” on its wheel frame connected to the emergency brakes. If you were to drive by a stop signal the train stop would hit the trip cock and you’d screech to a halt.

> This is not so far off what happens with the Greens - in the last federal election they had about a 15% first-preference vote across Australia, but ended up with only 1/150 seats in parliament.

As someone who has lived in the US and Australia... the difference would be that in the US, the Greens would get nothing, zero. And due to gerrymandering, it's equally likely that even without party C in play, you can and do easily get situations where 30% votes for party A but win a majority.

Even in our recent mid terms here, whilst the House went back to Democratic control, in the Senate the Republican vote went down 20% but they didn't just keep the same number of seats, they _increased_ their majority.
I think it's meant to have only one. The production line is adaptable to manufacturing either an ICE vehicle or an electric one or a hybrid.
JIRA is a good way to weed out organisations I will probably not enjoy working with. Kind of like if the interviewer says they have a COBOL or java codebase "they'd like me to look at" even though neither is on my resume.

Ironically this is not a criticism of JIRA itself. I use it now like I'd use a woman's bad hair on a date or her declaring her borderline personality disorder at dinner. It's a form of red flag detection / future horrible incident avoidance.

The problem with agile/scrum and jira is that it is frequently deployed as a form of snake oil with the expectation that it will instantly solve all that ails them. Instead of something that requires actual support, procedures, daily action as well as simple management follow through to succeed.
Another possibility is people wanting to advertise that they can afford to wear the brand.

I went to a wedding recently, and someone who is not wealthy asked what the VSL logo on other womens’ purses was. It was actually YSL, for yves saint lauren, but this just illustrated to me that some people do notice. On the other hand, in more wealthy circles, anything with logos would be considered undesirable. At the end of the day, we’re all animals, and there is a lot of social signaling going on.
> Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are treated equally to legal tender in Germany

I’m sceptical that you spent 20 years in fintech without learning the definition of legal tender.

If you go to a restaurant, eat your meal (thereby accumulating a debt) and slap legal tender on the table, the restaurant must accept it. They may also accept other things, like Visa credit cards or Ethereum. But they aren’t obligated to. The former is legal tender. The latter is a way to pay. Obligations around settling debt are the sole defining characteristic of legal tender, so it doesn’t make any sense to say one thing is “treated equally” to legal tender if it lacks this core characteristic.
Now, what would be great is if that analogy could be stretched further. It would pretty wonderful if someone found a way to do fusion where, like a bike, it's stable once it gets going.

But is this because the developers want that, or because management has carved in stone The Schedule, based on The Plan, and the only way for dev to stay on that schedule is to reject updates?

Reading the docs a bit more and/or googling for terms like "perl6 mu" might have helped. I too might have not what Mu meant (in the context of Perl6, although I did know the original meaning), unless I had come across it in the docs or elsewhere.

But IMO, like others have said, it is not really that difficult to figure out what it means (if you know some OOP) (although some of the rarely-used words (e.g. "invocants") get in the way a bit.

Basically when I read your comment, I figured out that the default gist method (even the word "gist" is a clue) was something like a default-valued method (to print the representation of any object) that can be overridden on a case-by-case basis by any other object - something like Python's __str__() and __repr__ special methods, like others have said.

However, having read some of it, I'll have to agree with you that the Perl6 docs can do with some improvement (check out Phasers in the Perl 6 manual for an example of what I mean) - whereas, in contrast, the Perl 5 docs are considered by some (me too) to be good-to-excellent. But then Perl6 has been evolving for less time (yes, I know about the long time for the 1st stable release).
Ericsson generally offers managed services, and so it's likely it was their responsibility. Also, this is reflected by O2 seeking damages.
Great site!
Same happened to me with the Pearson site recently. Customer service took days to reply and their response was some version 'try writing us back at this email since they handle your specific problem better than we do.' Its ridiculous how hard it gets to give people your money

That sounds good but (as far as I know) Jira hard-codes the number of levels, so you quickly hit a point where you can’t break tasks down any further.
This could probably be extrapolated to the entire western world...
It's so bad people focus only on CO2. Focusing only on one gas will likely boost solutions that promote generation of other not great for environment gases like NO2. That has already happened with diesels. Diesel emits much more NO2 (~4x) and PM (up to 20x) than standard engine.
Currently, we're investing a lot of money into things like social media because the world has more than enough food and water (it just isn't distributed efficiently). If demand of food outpaces supply, we'll start pumping trillions of dollars into efforts into desalination, lab grown meat, terraforming, and better GM crops. It doesn't require any tyranny.

Inevitably, climate change will directly or indirectly kill millions of people, as well as destroy many biomes. That should be enough to motivate people to want to change. In my opinion, doom and gloom scenarios encourage people to be more skeptical.
