No it's not a matter of productivity. I usually find my european coworkers more productive than the american ones : less bullshit, more action. We work less, we we get as much done.

IMO, It's a matter of how we see risks. The american culture value risk taking more than the european one. This affects investment, pride, communication, etc.

It has very good and very bad side effects of course.
Nobody should make estimates. They're always wrong.

Do your best to break tasks up so that all tasks are the same size. Then work on tasks. You'll find a stable average of tasks per amount of time and that will let you forecast how long things will take, how much they'll cost, etc.

That's how you figure out when things will be done.

> You want a diversity of viewpoints at the table.

No I don't. I only want correct viewpoints. Putting someone on an ethics board within an important institution at the very least improves their reputation and possibly gives them some amount of influence within the institution. Consequently, we shouldn't give such positions to evil people.

I think that the Heritage Foundation is evil, and I'll do whatever I can to prevent it from having more influence in society. If you disagree with me, then you need to do one of three things:

1. Convince me, a trans woman, that the Heritage Foundation, which is trying to keep it legal to discriminate against me, is not evil.

2. Convince me that it's a good idea to give positions of potential influence to evil people.

3. Fight me over it.

Apache is saying the same thing.

"In Apache HTTP Server 2.4 releases 2.4.17 to 2.4.38, ...code executing in less-privileged child processes or threads (including scripts executed by an in-process scripting interpreter) could execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the parent process (usually root)"

Perhaps I am just being nitpicky, and I have no comments on the content or intent of the site (not my industry / area) but grey/blue text on the night sky blue background with white for emphasis really threw me whilst trying to read the text on the site. It may also have to do with Linux's crappy font rendering but I found it unreasonably hard to look at.

In my experience, there are few good colours that remain readable on text, and I personally find serif fonts visually displeasing in most cases, although there are some exceptions (https://www.nytimes.com/) and even then, the light grey on white background is pretty displeasing.

I wish you all the best in your endeavour!
It's weird to see someone calling roads free when I give the government 25% of my paycheck every month to pay for things like roads.

We can't even pass a tax in my town to give necessary funds for road repairs beyond the most basic. I wonder how something like that would fair.
Business lessons that every young entrepreneur must know
Bizarre, that this response is downvoted. As this response deals most directly with the Math of the situation.
I'm definitely not an extrovert. I think I've come to realize over time that I'm always making cost / benefit or risk / reward decisions with my actions.

If I want a raise, I have the potential for a reward and a potential risk of letting my boss know that I'm not happy with my current salary. I think that fear of asking is really that fear of rejection or fear of disconnection.

What I'm saying is that this tool won't always be there and we need to find ways on our own to minimize the fear / risk of asking for what we want in life.

Sure, you might get lucky a couple times with this app, but life will keep throwing you more awkward situations.
Neat tool and well done, but why would a journalist use this? In the day and age of 'fake news', it's pretty clear that journalists don't highly value checking facts.
The biggest issue with these massive commercial aerospace companies is a huge barrier to entry, like I can only think of Boeing and Airbus that are really legit in this space.

What these companies do/build are insanely difficult, require decades of expertise, infrastructure, so much goes into...are these institutions or companies lol
Everything has to be paid for at the end of the day. Personally I think all transit (regardless of who owns the rolling stock and whether the tires are rubber or steel) should come out of the general fund because everyone benefits from a robust transit network.

Congestion is not a big deal. People willing to put up with it will put up with it. People not willing to will use the resource at different times. You will never have a system that does not get congested at peak times. The more capacity you have the less time the system will run at peak capacity (compare rush hour start/end times across cities to see this). Think of it like dumping a 5gal bucket into the sink and system capacity being the drain size. This statement applies to road, rail and everything else.
David Simon's books "Homicide: A Year on the Killing Streets" and "The Corner: A Year in the Life of an Inner-City Neighborhood" (co-written with former homicide detective Ed Burns) are the kind of stories that change your thinking forever.
No food delivery in New York uses cars and trucks. They all use ebikes. (Which were illegal for years, but that stopped nobody from using them.)
Only issue being that the estimates one gets from poorly planned sprints are probably less reliable than just asking the devs how long the project will take and going with it.
One change I'd suggest: drop the use of the term "sprint". Prefer "iteration" instead. Talking about "sprints" is a bad metaphor, and the metaphors we use do shape the way we think and act to some extent. IMHO, along with the "gap week" between iterations (which I vehemently agree with), this is part of avoiding the conditions that lead to burnout... if you're sprinting, sprinting, sprinting, all the time, bad things are going to happen. Not everything you do needs to be at balls-out, breakneck, full-sprint speed.
We are two picoseconds to midnight...

Honestly, I don't even know what the numbers are supposed to mean beyond smaller numbers are scarier, and there's no indication of what really goes in to changing that number. Yet it's mentioned quite a bit without any real justification.

Instead of that, how about a list of "clear and present dangers" with numbers based on real time where appropriate?
The hover state reminds me of the lyric annotation system Genius (https://genius.com/) has, which is a good thing.
IMHO reputation is important to build into the base level for a platform like this. Allowing anon registrations and commenting will eventually lead to a lot of noise and abuse of the platform for misinformation. I think some sort of verification of a person's qualifications on particular subject areas and then allowing them to only "fact check" on those qualified areas is required here to have an effective platform that will scale well.
It would help if you tested just grep when benchmarking grep. These datapoints tell a much different story.

That's a bit of a stretch. Of the entire military, less than half are actual combat troops. While everyone does and should get firearms familiarization training, only the combat troops have regular contact with weapons.

I served 8 years in the USMC and was in a combat MOS. I doubt there was a weapon in the inventory we didn't touch on a somewhat regular basis (individual and crew served). In my units, our commanders were positively insistent we learned not only our own weapon systems, but also those of potential enemies. To that effect, there were a number of captured AK-47s, AK-74s, RPKs, Makarov, Tokarev, Mosin-Nagant, you name it in our unit armory. We learned them all (and cleaned them all). We also learned the weapons systems of our allies, like the British, French, and Israelis when we had military exchange programs, which are tons of fun.

Unless you are in a combat MOS, you are pretty safe being in the rear with the gear, as it were.

Disposable Pattern (Disposable Design Principle), Part 2
I think you're mixing up two meanings of "free" here. Sure, your drive is not free as in beer, but it's still free as in speech. The whole point of the OP is that your drive was never free as in beer. Somebody has always been paying for it. It might not make sense for every road to be a toll road, but it makes even less sense for none to be.

It's funny how many people think the relationship between prices, supply, and demand is just the bee's knees ... until it comes to use taxes or fees that directly affect their own behavior.

If you introduce high enough congestion charging (to significantly reduce congestion), those rich bankers will get back in their cars and small businesses relying on the roads will be forced to close.

We really do risk heading into a ‘roads are for the richest’ future. We need to accept that the car isn’t going away, that public transport cannot work well in many situations, and build more road capacity for an electric and maybe self-driving future.

And encourage personal light electric vehicles (electric bikes/scooters/skateboards) instead of fearing/banning them!
> don’t masquerade this as some kind of “economic reckoning”

In New York, low-income New Yorkers who own a car (or live in the zone) will be eligible for a waiver [1]. People with disabilities, too, will probably be eligible for a waiver. (Some carve-outs are still being pinned down.)

Taxis, Ubers, trucks and cars owned by people who opt to pay hundreds of dollars a month in parking are who will be taxed. Given the unusability of our streets, this seems closer to an economic reckoning than a political money grab.

(Crowded streets have all kinds of nasty externalities. I live in the zone. Crowded streets mean lots of honking at all hours of the day and night. It means the constant smell of brake pads at street level. When I look out of the window and see a stranded ambulance, it's a reminder of the risk my loved ones and I will face when the day comes when we need an ambulance. Et cetera.)

Working with agile for the last half-year.

while it does make people agile, i.e. stir things up with daily stand-ups etc, it also causes more chaos on the technical side.

anyone can pick up any stories, after a while there is nobody that is an expert in any domain, everyone knows a little about everything but nobody knows any subject deeper, no more domain expert. Now bugs took forever to debug, the whole group is constantly in panic mode and burnt out.

to make things worse, document is neglected due to agile's own philosophy and due to the daily chaos, and it makes development much much slower.

In short, agile gets everyone going and looking busy, but the product can never deliver because nobody knows enough to fix hard issues. Many of them are senior developers, the old model seems working better, a bit slower and quieter but products are out of the door with good quality.

Agile is bad from my experience so far, our product is embedded system that can't really be sprinted like those fancy front-end UI projects and such. Agile does not fit us well.
>Once you sell something you don't have the right to take it back if you later regret the transaction.

Microsoft did not sell the books (or their content), though.
Really great visualization. I was surprised by how small Russia is relative to expectations. Also how small Canada and large Mexico is.
That doesn't really seem true to me. Car companies make products that can sell. People vote with their feet. People make decisions to buy bigger vehicles so that's what is manufactured. If there is increased demand for compact cars the manufacturers will make more (like they do outside of the US).
Companies might not seek to hire people nearby but they might put their offices in a more convenient location.
Either way you seem to completely miss the idea that alternative methods of transportation like mass transit or bicycles etc might expand in use. Which can cause those things to expand (better mass transit coverage, better and more protected bike paths). Again there are examples all over the world outside of the US.
I advocate approval voting for executive positions, proportional representation for assemblies, and fair redistricting.

That combo will reform our duopoly. Plus other benefits, like improve campaign civility and reduce polarization.

Hilarious! They gave him an xbox and some cash.
I was once a project manager on a team that does daily standups. What eventually happened was that the team would usually re-iterate what I say, or vice versa. It made me question what was the point of doing standups.
The goal is to enable journalists/bloggers to annotate their content with their fact checking. Allowing their readers to audit to and to contribute to the fact checking for themselves.

In other words, enabling journalists to "show their work".

Thanks for the feedback about the colours, I'll play around with it!
The two week sprint is for management. So that all the stakeholders only have to travel to "the pit" once every other week for a sprint review. It is vital that every team finishes the sprint at the exact same time. If teams are out of sync the stakeholders have to visit once a week or more.

Given how important all these managers are to the organization, they need to be unloaded with trivial tasks such as playing with their phone during a sprint "review" (which is actually a demo).
Even with fiduciary duty, most agents undersell property.

When the first offers are underpriced, a lot of agents will pressure you into selling, because their income is tighly coupled with the number of transactions per year.

There’s a couple of studies from the US that concluded that most sellers close the deals way too early, and that rationally they should have waited for more offers.
I agree with most of it minus the "Don't make esitmates" part. Without making some sort of estimate things just don't work.

I guess maybe it could work assuming you fully control a single product. Everywhere I have worked we need the estimates simply for coordination of all the moving parts.
This will be absolutely necessary when cars are self-driving. Instead of parking they will just drift around the block when you buy something for example. Also there will be empty Uber cars drifting around to be close if somebody needs it. On top you won't worry so much about traffic if you can sleep in you car or do something else.

Driving was always limited by the costs of somebody sitting behind the wheel. Look how congested many cities of third world countries are, low labor costs for cab drivers are a factor there.
I went to a 6-hour set of Jeff Mills at OT301 in Amsterdam in, I think, 2012. He was promoting his "The Messenger" album. I did not leave the room even to get a drink. I since moved to London. Missing the vibe of that time, seeing people around me with a genuine appreciation (maybe it was just the proliferation of drugs) for the music and just having fun. The availability of fat, high-quality sound systems as standard didn't go a miss either. There was certainly was a lot of great music happening around Amsterdam, Utrecht, Rotterdam and The Hague over that period. I lived in Amsterdam North for a while with a view over the IJ and the power station and petrol terminal. I played a lot of Drexciya and the gang over that period. Seemed very fitting. I must be getting old. Checking out Dave Clarke now.

I think all people accept these as factors that can help decide something one way or the other. Social exclusion is a pretty blunt and extreme measure, people are and should be more tolerate of their friends in most ways, et cetera. "Friends should accept me as I am" is an angle a normal person would take when they don't want to submit to their friends' criticism, but they would be ready to accept if their friends don't see it as the right story to tell about the situation.

These become fallacies when someone starts taking them for bedrock principles they can rely on without considering other factors. People do this because they are overwhelmed and flailing, or because they can't stand the uncertainty of not knowing how their friends will act in a potential situation. Geeks like taming confusion and uncertainty with knowledge, but instead they should choose the path (which is also appealing to geeks, if they get enough confidence) of developing skills and trusting their skills to see them through unpredictable situations.

You can convey this by only submitting a single choice on your ballot (a powerful tactic in AV). Conversely, you can vote everyone BUT the one you wish to harm. And by default you can vote NOTA. While it may be that Approval Voting is not the "perfect" answer, it is far better than most and comes with the added benefit of easy adoption/implementation and simple explanation.

I think this is a little bit alarmist. My resting heart rate is in the low 50s and rises 2-3 bpm when I am sick or stressed (including during recovery from intense training). Looking at yesterday's run, my heart rate dropped from 182 to 138 in a little over a minute. I don't think I'm about to keel over just yet.

> I wonder how much of this is pre-existing heart conditions that went undiagnosed versus running _causing_ heart damage.

The sample size might be too small, but I'd love to see a comparison of heart-failure events among ultra runners to other very intense exercise.

Conditions like Marfan Syndrome are obvious candidates for these deaths: it's often undiagnosed, it significantly increases risk for sudden heart failures like aortic dissection (especially in younger people), and it produces a progressive risk with intense exercise (by weakening heart tissues which then stretch under stress). Which, oddly, is both pre-existing and exercise-induced; running wouldn't do the same thing without the condition, but a sufferer who didn't run as hard might never have a problem.

Directly attributing the problem to conditions like that is probably impossible; there are a bunch of them and there's no guarantee they'll be diagnosed or even caught at autopsy. But a cross-sport comparison might turn up interesting data - breath-restricting sports like swimming and scuba diving are higher risk than running.

Forget the ToS and sue for damages.

That account had value and this is a poor business practice. Courts award value and the damages are to make a point that its a bad practice if the judge/regulator finds it disturbing. Assuming that the judge / consumer regulator will say "well but you clicked I agree" is a bad assumption, ESPECIALLY when European countries are involved. the company is just as likely to axe that contract logic and just lean on their severability clause to keep the rest of the contract without self-granting the ability to reassign accounts.
