Good estimates come from watching people deliver over time and scientifically comparing empirical performance to subjective estimates, not asking them to predict. Joel Spolsky has a great blog post on Painless Software Schedules.
I just emailed you looks like a great opportunity as a starter.
Heh. I have a totally different perspective on that.

The biggest forums were always toxic wastelands. Life, Universe, and Everything (the LUEsers of GameFAQs) has gone through this same trajectory.

Toxic people attract OTHER toxic people, because trolls love trolling others. The forum gets more and more toxic as people prefer to mess with other people more than actually have solid conversation. Things get extreme: LUEsers start to post porn to an otherwise innocuous site known to have young people browsing (GameFAQs), and the admins are finally forced to shut LUEsers down.

LUEsers exodus to another major forum, known to be more open to "free speech", and the toxicity cycle continues. Similar cycles happen for 4chan (exodus to 8chan), Something Awful, Reddit (/r/clopclop, /r/TheFappening, /r/Jailbait, /r/BeatingWomen) and other websites.

Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram have NOT had their exodus moment yet. The admins still think doing nothing is the best move. Eventually, there will be a controversy so big that the admins will be forced to do something about it. (Youtube is beginning to enter this cycle).

And "do something about it" inevitably means banning the toxic portion of the website. Its the most obvious choice.

Guess what? GameFAQs, 4Chan, Something Awful all still exist today. The Exodus moment is always scary, its always "against free speech", but guess what? The websites are fine afterwards.

---------

I see this all as part of the same cycle. The cycle seems to be slower for larger websites / social networks like Twitter / Facebook, but its the same cycle nonetheless.
Just noticed. DJ Stingray is on tomorrow at Oval Space as well.
How does this handle anonymous sources?

Not only do you have to account for what those sources say, but also, a reporter reporting what an anonymous source said can be 100% factual (Yes, the anonymous, valid source was indeed reported accurately), but maybe the anonymous source is incorrect. The reporting is accurate. The source is not.

Basically, a lot of grey area. And with that comes the issue of anything not "fact checked" by a service like this could be dismissed. What harm does that do?

Not a dismissal of a service like this. Rather, just open questions.
And agility in this case being Business Agility: the business being able to change course, not being hold hostage to a years long plan which cannot be changed.

Agility has nothing to do with software development, and everything with business.
The word apple has other meanings besides Apple, Inc, but it is a registered trademark in the USA. Since instagram is based in the USA, it's pretty clear that Apple, Inc is the rightful owner. Whether or not they should have a trademark on such a common word is a separate question.
The US does not have execution vans for dissidents whereas China does, for instance.
The only surprising thing here is that it's not even that good of a name. I understand platforms yanking the handles of established brands and registered trademarks, but is "sussexroyal" really as good an Instagram name as Harry and Meghan can come up with, and worth the negative pr of stories like this one?
Pretty much what we do except our sprints are two weeks with two of those days devoted to planning. If it's a bigger project then planning may be a sprint task of is own.

We release on Tuesdays so every other Friday and Monday end up being pretty light assuming the Thursday QA went well.
Amazon’s role in co-sponsoring research on fairness in AI draws mixed reaction
I skimmed the report, they break down the % of people still running. They took x-rays and measured the space between the joints amongst other tests to see how much wear/damage occurred in the 18 year period. In both the control, and the runners group there were runners (17% vs 97.8%). By the end the runners group still had 55.6% running vs 3.8%.

Unfortunately they didn't break down the km's ran to classify the individuals. Also The runners group was almost more likely to do 'vigorous exercise'.

To answer your question, they did continue to classify as runners even if they stopped (and almost half did stop).
Me. Why shouldn't I?
The only companies that participate in PRISM are government security contractors. You appear not to have understood what PRISM is, which is astonishing given how much documentation we have about it.
I'm not sure I get the problem. Doesn't this just call for modeling a network of branches, nodes, with set of realistic max/min/stddev timings to traverse each, and an inventory + desired times of trains to be released into the system?

Is it that railroads don't have the expertise to do this? Hard to imagine.

Why are railroad execs huddled around a physical table + map trying to propose timings for trains to run through? Maybe the article is simplifying things that makes it sound really inefficient.
we have an abundance of production efficiency that’s kept prices from rising. But what to do with that extra money? It’s like a gas, and it has gone to housing. If food, education, healthcare, etc we’re free we would be laying 90% of our income on housing. This will continue until we have an Elon Musk who can solve housing.

Only public primary sources are allowed as evidence on SourcedFact.

Anonymous sources certainly have value within journalism, but the goal of SourcedFact is to make facts that can be proven beyond a reasonable doubt with public primary sources stand out from everything else.
Just like you can disable Windows telemetry, Facebook personalized ads, Google's personalized ads - most people don't and it's actively harmful for their privacy. But I'm not surprised Mozilla has done this, they have ran "experiments" before that hurt people's privacy.
They also don’t have re-education camps for religious minorities, a social credit score, and no rule of law. The U.S. is deeply flawed, especially when you take their war on drugs into account, but I’d still prefer them over China any day of the week.
Agreed.

After the Lion Air crash, Boeing basically asserted the plane was perfectly safe, and that the pilots should have followed the runaway trim process - this means turning off the electric motor which moves the trim, and having the pilots move it manually using a wheel provided for the purpose. Boeing has tried to imply that in the midst of an emergency which looks very different from a runaway trim, pilots should have followed this procedure and this was in some way their fault.

The Ethiopian Airlines crash has shown that Boeing was being disingenous. The problem is that turning off the trim motors at this stage of the flight leaves the pilots unable to move the trim fast enough manually before they crash and they are forced to switch on the electric trim - which again allows the MCAS to kick in. When pilots who are fully informed of MCAS still were unable to control the plane following Boeing's procedures then imagine the plight of the Lion Air pilots who recovered from the fault 26 times before crashing but had no idea anything called MCAS even existed. An honest admission by Boeing after the first crash would have prevented the second crash and the loss of further lives.
Frankly... forums are dying because of Discord. Maybe Google-docs (which is emerging as a highly-curated, invite-only chat-platform for the younger generation).

Kids these days go to Discord and/or Google Docs for serious conversation. If you have an adult community, they may still use forums, but its more or less seen as a dated and ancient Web 1.0 sort of thing.

Google-docs fits all the requirements. No major school bans google-docs. It allows real-time communication, collaboration, and holds a repository of data. Its semi-private, scales to large numbers of users, and moderation is decentralized (controlled by the owner of the Google Doc).
Better yet, a great time to sell calls. Lots of believers that is gonna shoot back up and to the moon.

How Much Is Your Education Worth? Depends How Much You Make
No, the point of standups is to go around in a circle and make sure that everyone has everything they need to keep working (that there are no “blockers” in the parlance of agile). That’s why they’re called standups - you’re supposed to stand so that everyone gets annoyed if it takes more than a handful of minutes.

If you’re discussing what you did yesterday, what you’re going to do today, when you think x is going to be completed, what is blocking you (other than that so-and-so owes you such-and-such), or anything else other than nodding that you’re good you’re missing the point and that’s where the slippery slope of pointlessness begins.
Then I would rather say the issue is with Denmark (laws, politicians, people, whoever you see as the main culprit) rather than a European issue. Denmark is one of the smaller countries (size and population) in the EU so generalizing based on that example seems like an overreaction.

Also I can't find any reference anywhere supporting the idea that physical abuse from the locals is a common practice in Denmark. There's no pattern to police shootings and incarcerations based on color either.

For example Vienna, Prague or Madrid are generally considered as some of the most expat friendly cities in the world. Germany, Spain, Sweden are also generally considered as some of the best expat countries in the world.

Imagine saying the US is not an innovative country because Mississippi is not innovative. :)
Do you know something the market does not? Because everything the market knows is already priced in to the stock.

Don’t think of a share price as speculation, think of it as speculating about other people’s speculations.
Me too! I feel your pain.

Have you considered giving it as a gift to your peers and leadership? I really think it's a great read and resource for anyone trying to sell organizational change.

I wonder if any of those "automation needs" could be turned into startup ideas?

Pseudonymous identity was identiy enough
One of the top firearms instructors globally (Massad Ayoob) is utterly paranoid about lead -- he has special range clothes/shoes, changes before getting into his vehicle in the way one would do with hazmat-contaminated clothing, and has the stuff commercially laundered outside his home. I think it's mainly out of concern for children/grandchildren in his home, but it was pretty impressive.

I started keeping lead-removal wipes in all my range bags after this. The number of times I've seen people go through 500-1k rounds at the range in the morning during a class, then eat a sandwich or something without even washing hands, is..a lot.
> The business wants to know how much feature X is going to cost and when they can expect it.

Of course they do. We all want things that are impossible to have. I want to know the AAPL stock price in 6 months.

The traditional way to manage this impossibility is that engineering lies about it (they have to lie, because they can't know either), and once people are lying to each other, trust is unlikely to arise.

The agile concept of "velocity" is the best way I know of managing this. It's not very good, and it's often a victim of Goodhart's law.
Wonder of there is a way to buy these tesla with small defects.
The screwed up taxes is a symptom of a dysfunctional government.

The fix is to address the root cause--reducing excessive lobbying that seems to control the government and implementing a direct democracy that puts the government better under the people's control (it's time to replace the electoral college).
Just to let you know, you've now called anyone who disagrees with your opinion "uneducated" multiple times. This really rubs me the wrong way.

You need to realize that other people have different priorities than you do. Not everyone cares that their car be as luxury as possible. They just want a good electric vehicle, and there's nothing that beats the Model 3 at that price point -- not in range and not in performance. Yeah, maybe it doesn't have leather seats as nice as the BMW, but most people don't prioritize surface-level luxury above all else, and especially not hardware/car nerds.
All markets have congestion controls, they're called prices. The only reason roads and traffic don't function well is because they don't have prices. Traffic on roads* is the 21st equivalent of Soviet breadlines.

*(particularly in the US where they are cross subsidized the most)
That's a luxurious platform for an embedded system. You're not at all power or environment constrained? Will your end product actually use all of the peripherals and I/O on the board? BBs (and rPIs) are great prototyping platforms, don't be surprised if there's resistance to the cost when it's time to go to market.
Strange Python IO Performance
Thanks!

Do you have information about the progress of the project? How about a new extension that makes you click to remove the pop-up? The data collected that way could almost directly go into a neural network.

Do you happen to know whether there are extensions to automatically answer GDPR pop-ups (indeed while blocking in page pop-ups these should probably receive special treatment)?
This is about what capital funds, not the labor market. Given how unorganized it is, workers mostly just have to work on whatever projects get funded.
Much of the time, which is why I highlighted search. But especially for technical books, being able to put your finger in one place and flip back to where you are and glance back at where you are holding your finger is a physical metaphor that does not translate. Similarly for maps or lists.

"Wait, didn't that character die in the last chapter" is easily solved by flipping back a couple of chapters. If you search for the right thing you can find it too, but it's relatively painful for quick checks.
I’m very hopeful about low orbit broadband. Both for more global access and to potentially escape the current oligopoly. With a few players we may get real competition!

> Now how is that any different from raising an exception?

Exception bubbling is implicit.

There's no way to know which exceptions can be thrown from a function just by looking at its code, nor looking at the called-functions code. You have to keep in your head all the call chain up to the first function that does not call any other function (good luck with that).

Even worse: we don't even know _where_ the function can stop running and start unwinding. This leads to defensive programming. Hello try-catch soup!

It's a slippery slope that gets worse and worse with each abstraction layer.

Languages with typed errors have been nothing but a joy for me.
I started getting in to F1 at the very tail end of the 80s and in to the early 90s. It was something else.

Although I rarely watch motorsports these days, I'm much more inclined to watch something like MotoGP than F1.
I'm actually not sure I agree. I have the nagging feeling that China spying on me is most likely to have zero consequences for my daily life, while the US spying on me can get me on a no-fly list or something.
Every game in a Humble _Indie_ Bundle has always been available DRM free. Titles in their "Humble Trove" (a monthly subscriber perk) are also DRM free. Other bundles Humble Bundle sells are often Steam only.

With approval voting, you should consider each candidate independently: "Am I okay with this person winning the election?" The number of circles you fill in doesn't matter.
I'm not saying that. I'm just saying that campaign finances are only a partial picture.

I also think HC had much more backing.
Thanks for the advice! I wear Brooks too, but it's been around a year since I changed them out. I only run about 12 miles a week, but I try to keep the pace up.
It could be argued that if the news needs to introduce you as "an elite US school", you aren't really an elite school.

That's an odd conclusion to draw about MIT though. Who's the target audience here? MIT really is internationally known.
What do you think is fair p/e? High share price is reflective as to the eAse that Tesla has raised capital. The trend is still very positive on increased revenue. Would be interested to know % of Tesla spend that didn’t go towards current prodcucts.

Didn’t realize how agressive expansion was. Tesla seems like it has not exceeded its ability to repay debt but is taking increasing risks despite making electric car market viable.

Building a semi prototype I guess is different than buying supercapacitator company for limitless recharge (prius style super capacitor battery to augment lithium ion power source) and building factories to actually build thousands of vehicles and now their batteries (Panasonic might lose monopoly)

Integrated battery manufacture alongside vehicles/power users could be next step towards decreased costs.
I'm not sure why i'm jumping into this thread, but 50% cheaper!? You want a brand new electric car for $17.5k USD?

Even the cheapest ICE cars sold in the US have trouble hitting that number... That just seems like a completely unreasonably high bar to hold EVs to at this point since things like batteries are so much more expensive than an ICE engine.
US pilot asked for more training before flying the 737 Max: What happened
That's odd. I'm from Sweden and it costs 30€ to go to the doctor (of course the fee doesn't cover the full cost of the service) but the shame is still very common. For example, if you go to an emergency waiting room, people will stare at the patients without visible ailments. It is also a major part of the Anti-immigration people's rhetoric: "Those damn immigrant families overuse health services so we regular Swedes have to wait!" Among older people the embarrassment of visiting the doctor is even more prevalent. They often wait far to long with having their problems checked so it ends up costing society more than if they had gone to the doctor in a timely fashion.
Would you prefer the centralized planning model of waterfall? Of course none of these systems are perfect, but it's been a major step in a better direction for everyone involved.
How to Increase Your ECommerce Sales Using Web Push Notifications
You can’t charge a Honda at home, and that with a 200+ mile range covers the vast majority of usage. And then when you do need to drive 200+ miles in a day, which for most people is a handful of days a year, you can use chargers which add 100 miles in 10 minutes. The extent of the charging network is really the only major issue left. It depends on your use case, for an urban, suburban setting or as a second car it’s more convenient, not less.
I guess we disagree then. Pen testing to me is: "Can I steal your key? Here, I have a proof that I can steal it." Actually exfiltrating (not necessary to produce a proof that you were able to view it) so that you can produce fraudulent signatures is completely orthogonal to exfiltration.
In the context of accidental domain loss / attempted hijacking, absolutely agree on all of your points.

In the case of "entities with enough power and influence", I don't think any of the ICANN RA requirements make gTLDs any less likely to being seized than any ccTLDs.

A thing I don't get about eBook sites is why they aren't easier to browse. Simply being able to scroll through a screen equivalent of a library shelf (Dewey Decimal or LOC system) would be nice.

Obviously, using libgen tends to avoid this DRM problem.

No doubt as the surveillance economy ramps up, getting every last penny for copyright will ramp up also.
The US does have execution drones that target people based on metadata [1].

> In 2014, former CIA and NSA director Michael Hayden said in a public debate, “We kill people based on metadata.”

> According to multiple reports and leaks, death-by-metadata could be triggered, without even knowing the target’s name, if too many derogatory checks appear on their profile. “Armed military aged males” exhibiting suspicious behavior in the wrong place can become targets, as can someone “seen to be giving out orders.” Such mathematics-based assassinations have come to be known as “signature strikes.”

Parts of France are still uninhabitable due to pollution from munitions in WWI.
Kia and Hyundai have some decent EV offerings now that would compete with the Model 3, but they can't get the batteries made due to supply issues so they're only selling small amounts of them. e.g. Kia e-Niro got 'car of the year' in What Car magazine but they've only got 900 for the whole of the UK this year. So one thing Tesla has done right is build a huge battery factory.
That's interesting as in my experience is exactly the other way about. It's the experienced developers that try to gold plate to avoid the issues that they had in the last project or two projects ago, whereas the juniors ship code quickly but unfortunately often incomplete and certainly lacking a reasonable amount of test coverage
It's a shame that ongoing support for other SBCs is almost universally poor. Often you're stuck using older, unpatched kernels and broken video drivers.

I see your point, but IMO "elite" refers to its level of excellence, not how well known it is.

For example, my understanding is that IIT was elite well before many of U.S-born software developers had heard of it.
