Per the article, only a vanishingly small fraction of these are remaining unoccupied. Even if they’re not being inhabited by the purchaser they’re being inhabited, and thus absorbing some of the local demand for housing.
I think Intel having their own manufacturing fab is hurting them in the longterm. By outsourcing it you can go with whomever has the best solution. By matter of pride, Intel has not done this but AMD, Nvidia, Apple all do this.
I like standup on my current team. We're in an open office already, and just (physically!) stand up and say "I'm doing X today". Whole thing never goes over 2-3 minutes, and it's a friendly way to keep everyone up to date with the bigger picture.
People are looking for hacks for startup life, I think it is only a short term approach (and is a wrong one for long term).

Think like it is something you are gonna do for the next 10 years and design your lifestyle around it. For example, keep a healthy mind, don't try to rush tasks (but don't sleep on it either). And keep going!

Those aren't two consecutive statements. Totally ridiculous to put them together and make it out to be something else.

Quite an ironic comment in a thread about doctored video.
The author’s argument is that creating more supply will further increase housing prices because more educated professionals will move into the city. I see two issues with this argument. One, I don’t think it’s the limit of affordable housing that’s preventing educated professionals from moving here. They’re already coming here in droves, which is the initial cause of this problem (according to the author). Who says adding more housing will further increase the influx of these people? Two, suppose the above hypothesis is correct, then wouldn’t their salaries go down? This is the entire basis of the author’s argument as to why housing prices keep climbing; because by moving to the city, these professionals are immediately increasing future earning, which they borrow against from their well-to-do families. So doesn’t increasing the flow counteract the forces driving prices up by decreasing these future earning?

The way I decided to play the game was like this, "I won't be attending the Daily Standups anymore as I don't think they add value and do subtract value."

The project mgmt response was, "Attendance at standups is mandatory."

Regardless, I didn't go to anymore standups and when I got flack for that, I stopped going to the office all together. When I got flack for that, I stopped working all together.

Then I got fired. That solved all my scrum problems.
I'm very uncomfortable with the current trend of trying to get big tech to self police. They'll never get it right because of moving goal posts and moreover I don't want a private company to have that power in shaping social discourse.

If we as a society deem that type of content to be improper and that it should not be allowed on such platforms, then let's make that explicit from a legal perspective and regulate them.
Scrum won out IMO because it's an awesome word and conjures up subliminal images of brute force pushing obstacles out of the way, bringing success to the team. Execs can relate to it without even knowing what it is.
Interesting how they're sidestepping the actually rather disfluent speech from Pelosi that prompted questions. Compare https://twitter.com/robbystarbuck/status/1131242531503534080 with the C-SPAN video: https://www.c-span.org/video/?460990-1/speaker-pelosi-presid... (e.g. from around 3:00): not edited.
It's true that desires aren't justified by reason in and of themselves, but I don't think that's ultimately relevant (morally or otherwise). It's an empirical fact that we must act on our desires; when I examine my actions closely I notice that all of them can be traced back to some desire or combination of desires. From that empirically derived fact I posit that we can say the question "can reason alone justify the pursuit of our desires?" is a non-sensical question, like asking "is gravity justified in making objects fall to earth?"

I think a valid question along this line of inquiry is "are the actions I am taking in pursuit of my desires justified?". Actions are embodiments of ideas about how to act, and like other ideas can be deemed justified or unjustified through rational analysis. If an action embodies an idea that contradicts a known truth, it can be deemed unjustified.

Oh, I don't mean that getting higher scores makes you likely to get in - only that having a 'low' score (less than 2100, let's say) makes it far harder to the point of being nearly impossible. If you check out some stats from Stanford [0] and MIT [1] you can see that admit rates fall off VERY quickly. For instance, Stanford's fall 2014 freshmen had a 5.1% overall admit rate, climbing to 13% for those who received an 800 on their critical reading SAT but only 2% for those scoring below 600 on the same. Or look at MIT - 9% admit rate for 750+ Math SAT, 0.05% for <700. (Literally one person out of 1828)

This is absolutely true. In Eastern Europe, developers literally make 6-10x typical income, but that's because it's impossible to find say, a mechanical engineer job.

I do wonder if dev salaries are going to start declining though. Everyone semi-competent with a non-lucrative degree is trying to get into dev now. I am sure the MIT-grad stud with a 135 IQ and a 5 years - decade of experience @ FAANG jobs are safe.

As far as typical "senior" developers who can write LoB applications / web apps, I am not so sure - I think at best, salaries will stagnate.
I am confused. Facebook is a person-to-person(s) interaction. If someone wants to show their followers a doctored video, why should Facebook prevent it?

(The other day, someone on Reddit reminded that in Russia it’s illegal to repost the Putin gay clown meme [1]. And of course there is the famous Chinese ban of Winnie-the-Pooh images. Is this in any way worse than removing the doctored video of Nancy Pelosi would have been?)

To think of scrum as a process is wrong. It's actually an organizational pattern language. The idea is that social interactions are a complex system and there are patterns of interactions which, from experience, seem to work in certain contexts.

http://www.scrumabok.org/

It's not even software specific. Which is actually a strength.

Example, one common misconception is the daily standup is a status meeting. In fact you are supposed to replan in standup, it's a tiny planner. Not sure how you can call the ability to pivot every day not agile.

EDIT: Unpopular option, software quality is poor and it has nothing to do with scrum.
2^32+1 is likely reaching the limits of what an elementary school child is able to do by hand. As for the larger numbers: they do get unwieldy quickly, but I think it might be possible to manually find the factors of them with probabilistic primality testing.

Companies not only can, but are actually required, to verify your identity before giving out data. They can just send a template email with the necessary steps to verify it, and only do the work when that is done.
Can someone please tell me why this got downvoted? It's particularly annoying when correcting common misconceptions to get penalised for it... (and if what I said was wrong, I'd also like to know why!)
Are you in a position to effect change? If not, leave if you can. If not and you can't leave, suck it up.

Otherwise, here's a couple of notes freely given with no claim to excellence except that I've worked with successful scrum teams and unsuccessful ones:

* The 'business' is everything. All code is liability. Code that can't do things the business wants to do and hinders those things is a particular cost to the business. Product Owners who don't understand that "refactoring code to make it extensible before extending it" is the cost of doing business just have to learn that lesson. If they won't, let them go. Bad ones are a dime a dozen so you can always hire another clueless one if you want. It's like having a loan that you're paying lots of interest on. Saying "We can't spend time refinancing that. We have to go earn money." doesn't make sense as some absolute truth.

* Engineering is not in contrast to the business side. There is no need to represent engineering because the product owner is supposed to be able to understand all inputs into the program. If engineering is slowed down by the lack of dealing with some technical debt that's not some engineering problem divorced from the business. It's the business. This requires reaching across from the engineering side, being clear when things aren't going well, not starting on ridiculously long "refactoring" projects that are just lateral changes, and being clear what the expected outcome of any tech debt relief is. Avoid "feels cleaner", "is more elegant", "is more extensible". Talk in terms of outcomes: faster response to outages, the ability to add things like X (requires you to understand the product some, which is something an engineer should do), less time spent debugging issues. If trivially measurable, measure and demonstrate improvement. Builds trust.

* I'm not too convinced "Scrum Master" needs to be a solo job for anyone. The incentives are skewed. If you have a team of ideal people and they all pick up on the principles and you correct the bad patterns they have, they won't need you. The job inherently obsoletes itself which means the median person taking the role will entrench themselves in process to keep themselves relevant.

* 20 people at daily standup makes no sense. It's 10 minutes or 15 or whatever so you have 30 s to describe something. It isn't so much the time, though, but the fact that there are too many people here together in the room. It makes no sense. Find smaller units of organization. Conway's law presents but the alternative is much worse.
Many places do it over Slack.
A long time ago, ppl figured out that no one process was right for every organization, project, technology, etc. They created process frameworks (things used to create a process) and they saw that they were good.

Then ppl came along and said that they were "too complicated" we need something Agile! In actual fact, those ppl didn't understand the process frameworks and just created a specific instance of one and they wondered why it didn't work for all projects, organizations, technologies, etc. And then they said those processes are "too simple" - what can we do? "Maybe we should create a way of generating a process?", they then said. And so it went...

"free-as-in-speech" is usually intended to contrast with "free-as-in-beer", thereby disambiguating the word "free" in English. Some software is "free-as-in-speech", which means you aren't limited with what you can do with it or its code -- "free" means that the user has certain rights. I think Stallman introduced this way of talking about software; people sometimes use "libre" instead. https://ssd.eff.org/en/glossary/open-source-software
Managers need to justify their jobs. Reading off a slack report every day seems too simple and not worthy the salary they're paid. Compare that to a large meeting and live status updates, everyone stands, etc. Now that is some "serious work" happening.

Think of it from the point of view that managers have mangers they report to. When shit goes wrong they have to cover their asses. "So it's late. But did you check on their progress? Wait just over slack, no actual meetings? Ok, that obviously needs improvement".

I actually think scrum won because of its multiple rituals that allowed most of middle managers and project managers to keep their job by recycling it.
Scrum won out because it was waterfall in disguise. Commitments and sprints become terribly destructive over time.
I've been grappling with this for a while. I run a site/app that is a popular team based hidden roles indie board game. Apparently its full of assholes. I mean I get it, the theme and dynamics don't lend itself to happy players really but I got nothing - I've put hundreds of hours into volunteer moderator tools and they work great, the site itself does not have a griefing/racism/hate speech problem, but it does still have an asshole problem. Not sure what else I can do, other than take credit for it. =/
I'm a speech scientist. This paper is a neat idea, and the results are interesting, but not in the way I'd expected. I had hoped it would the domain of how much person-specific information this can deduce from a voice, e.g. lip aperture, overbite, size of the vocal tract, openness of the nares. This is interesting from a speech perception standpoint. Instead, it's interesting more in the domain of how much social information it can deduce from a voice. This appears to be a relatively efficient classifier for gender, race, and age, taking voice as input.

I'm sure this isn't the first time it's been done, but it's pretty neat to see it in action, and it's a worthwhile reminder: If a neural net is this good at inferring social, racial, and gender information from audio, humans are even better. And the idea of speech as a social construct becomes even more relevant.
Beware, impersonating people is more of a crime than alternative means of giving a company hell.

IANAL.
I think it won out because the number one thing any kind of project management framework has to provide is ambiguous blame-avoiding fungibility to management. If a framework does not offer that, managers will politically subvert the policy-making process to rule out that framework.

It’s the same reason why demonstrably value-additive, cost-effective prediction markets are rejected by managers despite evidence in their favor: it removes their ability to create ambiguous Dutch books out of different project deliverables and resort to exploiting subjective psychological biases of superiors to win money & status increases. Anything that holds them accountable to the actual measured result status of a deliverable can’t be tolerated.

Scrum is just the by-product of corporate status-seeking evolutionary war games against in-house scientific thinking.
I just spent the last week reconciling my books, using my scores of Excel files as a source, moving them to ledger.

I learned rudimentary double-entry accounting in high school, and I love that ledger enforces it so that I can be strict about my tracking. I still have to figure out how to produce balance sheets and income statements so that I can confirm that my accounts are balanced correctly. Honestly wish I had done this sooner.

Edit: Looking at beancount again, I should just use that instead of ledger. Ledger's simple, elegant, and nice, but I'm a Python guy, and I should just use what I know.

> Pollution is an externality of the oil industry

Is it? When I pour motor oil in my motorcycle, drain it 500 miles later, and have it recycled does it put CO2 in the atmosphere? Nope, at least not beyond the refining process.

Burning oil is what puts CO2 in the atmosphere, and it's consumers that do that. Not oil companies. Sure, one could say that oil companies are the ones providing the fuel that consumers are using, but that's sort of like an obese person complaining about food companies making him fat.

We could charge more for fossil fuels, but this effectively functions as a regressive tax. It's a tax based on how long people need to commute through and need more energy to deliver goods over greater distances. This disproportionately impacts less developed areas, which are typically less wealthy.
Sounds like Theodore Sturgeon's description of the difference between morality and ethics in his classic "More than Human":

Morality is society's rules for individual survival.

Ethics is the individual's rules for society's survival.
Where do Disney's TV channels fit into this? Besides the obvious Disney Channel, Disney XD, and Disney Junior, they also own the FX channels and Freeform.

Their movies currently eventually make it to those, and that is mostly where I've watched them. Sure, they take some time to get there. They are currently just up to 2016, with Moana, Finding Dory, Rogue One, and Doctor Strange being where they are up to in Disney animation, Pixar animation, Star Wars, and Marvel, respectively. But none of their franchises are ones that I need to keep current with anymore [1], so I don't mind.

[1] I did subscribe to Netflix for a month a few months ago specifically to get up to date on Marvel, so I could see Endgame in theaters. That was a special case because I decided it would be too hard to avoid major spoilers in the two or three years it would take to show up on cable.
First of all, most issues with process issues are more a reflection of the organization and what drives them than the process. I would say you should start talking about, 'Our process' instead of 'Scrum'.

>These things combined have dragged down the happiness of the people I work with, but we all feel imprisoned by it. I have a stack of scrum books here I plan on reading, I figure this process isn't going away and I need to up my game with how to play it - but I wish I could use something else, perhaps kanban.

Spoiler, your Scrum books aren't going to help you figure things out, unless your org actually wants to change. You have your own unique process, but that you have a unique process isn't an issue. The issue is that your management seems to not respect the input of engineering. No process will work the way you want as long as that is true.

Some thoughts,
* Most critical, your team is way to big. Should be half as big

* Scrum master should be a team member and rotated along the team. The process should be a result of constant tuning via the Retrospective. The scrum master here, should lose his job.

* Engnineering owns the implementation of the stories, product owners should not be a part of the conversation on how to do something, they only can say 'what'.

* If you can't decide your own points, then again, you have your own process. If you can, and you need to refactor, you need to add points for that.

If you can't do anything to change, then again reading scrum books isn't going to help. You can say, 'this isn't the way your supposed to do this' as much as you want. processes always reflect the organization. Unless the engineering team is an equal to the product team, it won't matter what process you have.
1. Firefox

2. U-block origin

3. Let them know they shouldn't ever download files from an email (even from relatives, because realistically non-technical people aren't sending each other files over email and it's likely one of them has malware that is trying to spread)

4. Disable their mic / webcam (they are not going to use it anyways)

The 4th point isn't so much to prevent malware, but it's to protect their privacy in case they somehow get compromised.

Since I've done all of the above, I haven't had to format a parent's machine due to a virus or malware. They run Windows too.
Much of the knowledge that humans derive from reading text is implicit rather than explicit. The derived knowledge is also context-dependent and probabilistic, i.e. they are not binary facts but we assign a degree of confidence to them.

In the context of that sentence "She was a .. physicist and chemist who conducted .. research on radioactivity.", I think most people would say a physicist or a chemist who conducts research is a researcher. In other contexts, such as in your example, that would be a questionable inference. What you're describing is why natural language understanding is hard--it's context-dependent and not syntactic.

"She did research." http://relex.diffbot.com:8085/?text=She%20did%20research.

No. Your point was "The real problem is that housing cannot be both affordable and a financial instrument."

I argued against your point.

Instead of making a counterargument, you decided to vilify mine by associating it with "vested interests".
100% agree, I'm just saying the argument.

Honestly I couldn't care less if Hollywood goes away with it's predictable formulaic cookie cutter focus-group movies.

It would be nice to see more movies where a director has an actual artistic vision and sees it through.
