Amen! When your product requires true engineering, agile just causes you to keep chasing your tail. Engineering systems requires an engineering process and discipline, and agile is just not up to the rigor.
The main "impact" was allowing the users to update past windows 7, once they got off their old, legacy, no-longer-updated system :)

Of course, at the same time we tried to improve certain workflows and clean up various parts. But mostly, this was a straight replacement.

Fiber to the home/GPON is also a shared medium. One OLT (the fiber device in the headend) port generally goes out to a splitter in the field that then goes to 128,64,or 32 customers which has about ~2.5 gbps of downstream speed that is probably also shared with the video service. That is generally more capacity than DOCSIS but it isn't a fiber straight from the customer house back to the provider network.

Modern DOCSIS networks are much more capable than the linked diagram. The general guideline is that your top speed package shouldn't be any more than half of the node capacity (which ends up being similar to GPON that often does a 1gbps service on a shared ~2.5gbps network). The video portion of a HFC network also doesn't share the bandwidth that has been assigned to Data.

The diagram shows a node of 500-2000 homes - that is a HUGE number, I've worked on networks with nodes much larger than they should be and about 250 is the biggest node. ~100 customers per node is more common and in newer or upgraded HFC networks the goal is normally N+1 or N+0 (Node plus one active device or zero active devices - the linked diagram is N+10) those numbers get down to the 32-64 customers/node range.

I do work on DOCSIS networks for small providers but some of the tools the big guys use to monitor the RF quality is pretty amazing. They are able to read the RF Spectrum of every modem in the network and find common impairments in the cable plant and they can also assign individual modems different modulation profiles, so if your inside wiring and drop cable are capable of it your modem gets a higher modulation profile (and higher speed) than your neighbors that have crappy radio shack cable (the inside wiring has a huge impact on the signal quality). Traditionally you would have to set the service to work for the lowest common denominator but the emerging technologies are changing that. That doesn't necessary mean the big guys don't have capacity issues in other places (example: Netflix peering) but there is quite a bit of work and technology behind the last mile delivery.

You also can't ignore the business aspects - there is significant capital investment in upgrading any last mile network. I can take a group of 200 customers at 50mbps and upgrade them to 200mbps and the overall traffic pattern doesn't hardly change at all. That makes it hard for operators to justify to shareholders why spending hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars to go from 500mbps to 1gbsp is a good investment.
I think they actually mean that 1984 shouldn’t be a business model.
"Even more pernicious was the F.A.A.’s longstanding delegation of regulatory authority to Boeing employees — a worry that is perennially available to chew on if you like and may indeed be related to the configuration of the troublesome system as it was installed.

This is really embarassing to read, due to the intense naivete to have these two sentences side by side.

> You made it sound fatalistic tho, as there were no use in even trying to identify experts.

No, that's not what I mean. Identifying experts is one thing. It's pretty easy to tell if someone is recognized as an expert by others.

I'm talking about appropriately evaluating and applying that expert advice. You need to be an expert yourself to actually do this, and it's not what beginners should concern themselves with.

> You also don't have to be an expert to recognize an expert.

You have to be an expert to evaluate other experts and their opinions.
I get that. But the fact remains that it is a business model, whether we like it or not, and as we've seen it can be very profitable. Until laws catch up, there will always be companies like Facebook that are devoid of ethics and will abuse surveillance technology to enrich themselves.

The presumption is Minsky wouldn't have known she was 17 and with regards to your other point - you know many men have been having affairs with girls 40 to 50 years their junior. Pablo Picasso was the first to come to mind. There have been many others. I presume they feel flattered rather than suspicious.
If you are seeing an "overwhelming amount of defending pedophilia" I suggest you are reading a lot into what isn't there.

I don't see any comments defending pedophilia in the comments here.

Whatever else the young woman was - trafficked, coerced, abuse - she was reportedly 17 years old.

The moral view will be understandably quite varied, especially because Epstein himself did abuse younger girls, and the 17 year old may not have been free in her decisions.

But lawmakers around the world and throughout the USA have set a standard to work with if we are talking about age.

Within that standard, 17 is fully legal, above the age of consent, to consent to sex with another adult with no upper age limit on the other adult, in most countries and in 74% of the states of the USA (37 out of 50). Indeed, 16 is also fully legal in the majority of the US.

So when people imply we should all be outraged that someone may have had sex with a 17 year old on the specific grounds of statutory rape, that is highly location-dependent.

Calling it pedophilia is something else again. The young lady in question was significantly older than the age where it's appropriate to call something pedophilia, under any official classification of pedophilia.

As Wikipedia puts it: "Pedophilia (alternatively spelt paedophilia) is a psychiatric disorder in which an adult or older adolescent experiences a primary or exclusive sexual attraction to prepubescent children. Although girls typically begin the process of puberty at age 10 or 11, and boys at age 11 or criteria for pedophilia extend the cut-off point for prepubescence to age 13."

So far as I can tell, nobody is defending or promoting pedophilia in these comments.

> How do we find a constructive path forward with a group that is unwilling to condemn pedophilia and child abuse or those who advocate and defend it.

It's hard to imagine a constructive path forward with that kind of argument.

Whatever else it was, it simply was not pedophilia, not even a little bit.

In my view, if you are genuine with your stated intent not to troll, you failed with this one.

I imagine you probably think I'm a pedophilia apologist as well now. Which is why I've posted under a throwaway handle, like a lot of people. It's really striking how many people in this HN thread appear to be afraid of having their actual name associated with their comments, including well reasoned and fact based comments. I think that it is not because they are embarrassed, rather it is because they see how angry and inconsiderate people are, being happy to throw out heinous false accusations that ruin lives, so it's smarter to stay anonymous on this topic.
"We have only ten knots of delta-v left, captain!"
Totally agree with this, I think a lot of it stems from Github getting open source code in early and Gitlab having free private repos. I use Gitlab because of that. All of the open source work I did is done through Github.

Ultimately, I'm glad they both exist, my go to is Gitlab though. And I'll be looking closely at their IPO to be an investor.
So put the base node somewhere high like a water tower, hill, or really tall pole and then put your home modem on the telephone pole or your chimney to establish line of site. They can even use beam forming to bounce their signals against other objects to get to their destination. Homes and base stations don't move so they actually seem like a good use case for 5g over phones which are consistently inside and moving which breaks the line of site.
Sony owns the distribution rights and might own them well into the future, which is what we're talking about here.
I might go for 30 years: roughly a generation (of humans).

If you wanted a different rule for software then you'd have to carefully define what is meant by "software" and think carefully about side-effects: would you be discouraging people from releasing source code, for example? Perhaps not worth it.
“Agile” and “Waterfall” aren't opposed, or even necessarily incompatible; “Agile” is opposed to “Process not dynamically adapted to the needs of the particular team in developing working software”.

I'd bet that these days it's a lot more common for a process imposed in the way Agile is a reaction against to be some variant of Scrum with which management is enamored, rather than waterfall.
On an aside, and I know this is a shot in the dark, but does anyone know where to find a copy of the seemingly impromptu talk Zuckerberg gave some several years ago now, where he explained that he wanted Facebook to replace the internet?

It is one of those rather notable regrets that I did not save that video, even though it clearly struck me to recall it all this time. If I recall correctly, it was a seemingly impromptu talk outside in the open either at a charity or corporate socializing event. It was definitely not in some venue, let alone in a large one where he's basically parroting corporate talking points. Which may also explain the candor and seemingly single mention of his intentions that has stuck with me all this time.
Buzzwords like agile and agilefall and waterfall don't really mean anything.

One persons anecdotal experience about agilefall doesn't mean it doesn't work. Don't fall for the trap of using analogies and anecdotal experiences as evidence. To top it off this guy didn't even measure the outcome of agilefall, all he did was declare that it violates some made up philosophical principles and demand change.

I've seen a project manager literally catch himself from doing something waterfall like it was the plague. Do people not realize that waterfall is the only technique used to build airplanes and bridges? I would not get on a plane built/being built using agile.

Note that I'm not criticizing agile. Agile works, waterfall works and no logic or evidence provided by that article says that combining what works for both is not good.
I remember reading this so long ago, before I was interested in computers, and it didn't make a lot of sense then. Now, it's just beautiful.

Hi Peter!

I'm an engineer at GC and regarding your comment on testing/mocking we do have a tool to help with that: https://developer.gocardless.com/getting-started/developer-t...

Maybe this is hidden/not clear in the documentation.

I'll pass this feedback to our API team.
Can we just build phones with a basic x86/AMD64 architecture and a small BIOS so we can load any OS onto them easily from a micro SD? I recently tried to get Halium boot running for my mobile, it's nigh on impossible if it's more than a few years old. (This was in an attempt to load Ubuntu OS onto it.)

Why does it have to be this difficult to try a different OS, when loading an OS onto a new laptop is so relatively easy? It shouldn't be so difficult to get basic functionality up and running.
> There must have been a brief “monopoly period” when Netflix had all of the content, but I don’t remember it.

It literally never happened except in the collective desperation of certain HN posters to justify piracy to themselves.
At Cisco there was a big organizational push to become "an Agile organization". What we ended up with was waterfall with Scrum. But regardless of people's complaints, and the lack of integration throughout the org, we still got products out the door when we said we would, worked on solutions iteratively, added value, etc. If all you focus on is the name of your process, rather than just getting work done, you're not gonna get far. I find a lack of a vision, strategy, roadmap, etc to be way worse than just doing something in a less-than-Agile way.
Exactly. Not cut and dry. Open opportunities for cost and benefit analysis. Instead of only asking what was done and whether operations endure, look beyond at the larger market. Did competitors respond to competition or disruption? Are there more or fewer options now available to consumers? Did the size of the involved markets change? That sort of thing could be extremely interesting and reveal opportunities but currently gets relatively little discussion.
I bet financial press is now discussing how this will lower the price of bananas at Whole Foods.
It's not only that.

I really gave it a shot and I'd be totally willing to accept a phone with reduced functionality as long as I can use it as a hotspot.

The problem is that that thing is so buggy and error prone that it's borderline unusable.

Initially it could do Umlauts (Language setting is German), but can't anymore since it ran a software update. Email (very primitive, but would have been fine for on the road) is broken.

Add to that the force install of Twitter with said update and a lot more niggling annoyances.

The only useful feature (and the reason I got it to begin with) is the 4G hotspot so at least it's still usable with another device. But the overall experience is so frustrating that I'm just waiting for the breaking point to get an iPhone, since there reallay doesn't seem to be any alternative if you're even slightly privacy concious.
> I think that details matter when assessing the severity of a crime.

Sure, but no permutation of details could make an actual sexual encounter, which is the hypothetical RMS is talking about (what really happened isn't even relevant when assessing what RMS said), benign or okay. It could be even worse, sure, but not really good.

> whether he knew she was under age

The only way to not know that would be to not care.

Yes, no, yes, yes, not sure, yes.

And I agree that the speeds are quite sad. It's entirely unclear to me why they feel incapable of offering higher speeds, other than they can upcharge businesses for the privelege. It's consistent across providers though, which makes me think there must be a technological hindrance somewhere along the line.

And I just did that for Avengers on my iPad. The first result takes me to:

- 5Movies4Free -- which then redirects me

- mobilevpn.download -- and then when I click on "Install and Register Now". It redirects me to

-"app.appsflyer.com" which then

- redirects me to the app store

- and then it just hangs

Is that really the user experience that people want as opposed to just paying $8 a month and they can stream movies to 4 devices, download on mobile so they don't have to worry about poor connectivity and they can stream to almost any device?

Not to mention your solution not only requires them to wade through shady sites, but they also would have to have a computer connected to their TV.

In the US, Apple has close to half the mobile phone market and a much larger share of the market of middle and upper income households. Do you think that people who are willing to pay Apple prices for hardware will even blink at signing up for Disney+ and Netflix instead of going through all of these contortions?

Edit: I forgot to mention that every major cellular carrier and MetroPCS (a sub brand of T-mobile) is bundling at least one streaming option as part of their family plan - except for Verizon.

Edit 2: I would have never gone through the entire process on my computer, too much of a risk of drive by downloads. I knew that it probably wouldn't do too much damage on iOS.
A reality tv show political outsider was able to become president through the Republican primary system.

Superdelegates in the Democratic primary are the following:

1. Elected members of the DNC
2. Democratic governors
3. Democratic members of Congress
4. Former Democratic Presidents, Vice Presidents, congressional leaders, and DNC Chairs.

The majority of them are elected officials currently holding office. The rest are formerly elected officials, and a minority. It's called an indirect election. That is not 'rigging'. The closest thing to rigging here would be category 4.
But the reason people keep expecting a specific algorithm to take off is that this is how it was in so many other areas: figuring out the principles needed for duplicating human or animal capabilities has always allowed us to exceed human or animal limits almost immediately. Flying, swimming, running, and lifting heavy things all require Rube Goldberg complexity for evolved systems, and stunning simplicity (by comparison) for designed systems.
Weird, because at least once we've talked on a feminist subject and I didn't accuse you of this. Musta been a fluke. But just for you, my longtime friend, I'll explain my thought process just this once.

But seriously, firstly dependenttypes pretends not to know "which sentence" we are talking about despite the fact that my post directly references that damning sentence. He then addresses that sentence, then moves on to an outrageous statement that in "most" places children can consent to sex with adults and that it just happens to be RMS was in a place where that's not true? Where does he get that from? A few nations allow for parental permission to override this state of affairs, but in general it's tough to find a nation without laws around child rape.

Then, dependenttypes draws a distinction (on the sentence that they claim wasn't clear from context), between a woman appearing to be willing vs being willing. But this once again centers the actions of the women and suggests Minsky has no responsibility to recognize things might not be right, as I suspect a rational person might in such circumstances. It centers the women's act of presenting herself as opposed to Minsky's responsibility to not rape kids.

Finally, dependenttypes suggests that typing "stallman sexism" in google doesn't show (for me in incognito at last) four articles in the top ten results full of explanations. Similar searches on twitter reveal firsthand accounts of both sexist and profoundly inappropriate behavior.

Upon reading this, it was pretty clear to me that:

0. This person isn't here to talk. They're here to Fisk posts aggressively.

1. This person tried to imply that it was only puritanical legal technicalities that prevented what appears to be a teenage sex slave from consenting is pretty outrageous. Generally, slaves don't have a choice and Epstein was a slaver.

2. This person has a definition of sexism that does not appear to be reasonable, OR they're so completely unwilling to even examine an opposing viewpoint that they can't read the wealth of other sources on this.

3. Given these things, the subsequent claim "I have read these things and found no evidence of sexism" strongly suggests someone who will simply refuse to adopt a reasonable definition or reasonable evidence of sexism as a matter of personal belief.

Note in his posts we don't hear some sort of positive refutation. Rather we hear a negative one: "this is fine what is your problem?" We don't hear, "that isn't sexism because..." we hear, "I don't see any evidence of sexism at all."

We're well past the point where any reasonable actor could come to such a conclusion. So I concluded this person is acting in bad faith. This doesn't mean "they disagree with me." This means, "they're not here to discuss the evidence or what people are saying but rather to refute it by any means necessary."

And looking more closely at their post history, I stand by this assessment.
I assume you're referring to the Kingsbury Commitment? I'm familiar with it and the creation of the FCC a decade or so later to take over responsibilities of the FRC and ICC but I've not read anything that delves into the politics surrounding it all or how closely they're related.

Do you have any recommendations?

That's a low bar. He didn't forge any of the documents he released. He did, however, repeatedly lie about what the documents contained and to corroborate hid interpretation, he wildly exaggerated what he was able to do while at the NSA.
