It'd be better at the end of the day, assuming no one does extra hours, but then it's even less useful or at least it becomes obvious it's all about status-updates.

i disagree that doing it in the evening makes it less useful.
it shouldn't matter much if i report resterdays work and my plan for today, or i report todays work and my plan for tomorrow.

and sure, people doing scrum wrong can use this as a way to enable micromanagement. but as has been mentioned elsewhere, the alternative is managers running around and interrupting you at will. it's not reasonable to blame daily standups for that and reject it just because it gets abused by some.

the kitchen knife analogy comes to mind...

i have had nothing but positive experience with daily standups. they help me focus and not spend days trailing off on a tangent or failing to ask for help because i am the junior, to shy to ask questions, or worse, harbor the feeling that no-one cares about my work. in other words, for me the daily standups acted as a team-integrator.

as a team leader and manager, daily standups help me be uptodate on what's happening, and save me from having to invest time to check myself. if anything, daily standups help me avoid micromanaging, because they satisfy my anxiety about the work being done without needing to be intrusive.

Why do punitive fines go anywhere? Collect the fines and then reduce the money supply by that amount. If the fine is collected via physical currency, destroy the currency. If it is electronic, deduct the amount but don't add it back anywhere. In essence every dollar will become very slightly more valuable but so slightly that no one will have motive to push for fines to be collected for their financial gain. Would the total amount of fines collected from all punitive activities across the economy be large enough to have a significant impact on the total money supply? My guess is no, but honestly don't know.
Maybe, but that’s more of an excuse than a true reason. It means their methodology for determining caloric content is flawed and they aren’t turning the right knobs to find accuracy. At which point they should work with a nutritionist.
After reading the BMJ piece I wondered if any study strategy would satisfy Ioannidis, to be honest. I came away from it feeling like his calls to eliminate observational studies and smaller randomized trials are misleading in that he seems to believe that all realistic studies should be eliminated.

He seems to be in favor of large randomized-controlled comprehensive diet protocols, for example, where many aspects of diets are manipulated simultaneously. He dismisses them too, though, for very good reasons. Given that there were additional reasons to be skeptical of such studies he didn't mention, I was left wondering if his pleas for study designs should be heeded very much (as opposed to his criticism of specific flaws). I love his work, but am wondering if it's best approached as worst-case criticism rather than an inspiration for what to do.

This is bull. He had decades to learn not to make women uncomfortable by doing one single thing - calling his business card his "pleasure" card when he handed it to a woman - and he still does that. That's not autism. Autism might hypothetically lead to doing that until someone pulled him aside and told him it was creepy and made others uncomfortable. After that it's just being an asshole.

Radial flux motors also work great. Whether one or the other is better depends on your application.

1) I don't consider this a breakthrough.
2) Magnax's motors are a really sensible design (like Emrax's) and I think they'll do very well.

Radial flux motors can achieve just as high of specific power and are already pretty cheap and available. I think it has taken a while for BLDC motors to become cheaply available at high specific powers except for R/C applications, and there wasn't really any fundamental reason why, but it's better late than never.

(I make high performance electric motors, including both radial and axial flux ones)
This is a common source of confusion, but carbohydrate intolerance is a symptom of diabetes, not a cause. Diabetics that go on Keto diets are still diabetic. If you give them a piece of toast, their blood sugar goes through the roof. It's like that joke about going to the doctor and saying "It hurts when I do this" and the doctor says "Well, don't do that anymore".

On the other hand, eating a whole-food plant based diet can actually reverse type 2 diabetes. People stabilize their blood sugar even while eating things like whole wheat bread, potatoes, rice and fruit, and generally have to have their insulin reduced and then eliminated to avoid hypoglycemia.

There is a theory gaining traction that insulin resistance is caused by fat in our muscle cells that somehow blocks the activity of insulin. So eating a very low-fat diet allows this fat to clear out, allowing insulin to work again, so you can eat carbs without your blood sugar spiking.

The fat in muscle cells is called "intramyocellular lipids". We know that it's associated with insulin resistance, the only debate is whether it's the cause or the effect, or if something else is causing both. Based on what I've read, I subscribe to the theory that it's the cause.
And who, if I may ask, is this person who is so eagerly ventilating his opinions to feed the wolves? To me it sounds more like he's upset because RMS didn't agree with him, which would be his problem in a sane world.
Yes, technically what you say is true... But isn't somebody who is legally working & settled in the US for more than 10 years an immigrant?
Square says it's "working on" getting Mustelier her money back. I feel like, at this point, they ought to simply pay her out of their own pocket. They were the ones who put her money in a bank that was not fit for purpose. Even if they didn't realize this would happen, they've violated their obligation to her, and they need to fix it now, not after a few more months of wrangling.
I think that's incorrect. The main chart is "White (nonhispanic)" vs "Hispanic, black, and other groups".

A single syllable first name could be a common nickname for a multi-syllable name. For example, Mike for Michael, Dave for David, Bill for William, etc. Or if you never want to be called by a nickname, you could choose a short name that doesn't have a nickname, such as Mark.

Some last names you probably should not pick: Doe, which is commonly used a a placeholder for unidentified people (e.g., John Doe); Smith and Jones, which are so common that people might assume you're giving them a fake name.

If you want to be anonymous on the web, picking both a common first and last name would make you very hard to find.

So, maybe it will help to look at what is Not Capitalism.

In say some midecentury communist country, the workers owned the capital, right?

In practice, though, someone who called themselves a worker (a party secretary) with political power had de facto control over how and where the capital was allocated and spent. Sounds an awful lot like private ownership. Also, it resembles some parts of the US, like defense, where single bid contracts go conveniently to the friends of lawmakers. It's the taxpayer's capital, right, not privately owned?

The capital in these cases is not explicit in a spreadsheet, but it undeniably exists and is owned.

My example of the Japanese salaryman is similar: if my boss at Mitsubishi is the division leader of heavy industry, my paycheck comes in large part from being able to give his name on the phone with someone when asking for a favor. I'm not paid that, but I own the privilege -- the capital -- if I get high enough up at Mitsubishi. I can even pass this intangible owned thing along to my children, through my family name.

These are all of my cut-and-dry examples, but there are many which are more muddled. The spending of huge companies on lobbying--is that Capitalism? Or some perversion?

Depending on what point you're trying to make ideologically, these situations are all either Capitalism OR Not Capitalism, OR somewhere in between. So what the hell is capitalism anyway and why is it even useful to talk about it like the way the OP talks about it? That is my point.
There will never be explanations on "how paracetamol (the principal substance of tylenol) works" because.. it doesn't work. It doesn't fare better than placebo.
https://www.evidentlycochrane.net/paracetamol-widely-used-in...

At least, placebos don't harm the user. There's evidence paracetamol is harmful.
https://ard.bmj.com/content/75/3/552

And dosages higher than 4g/day are known to destroy the liver. Paracetamol overdose is one of the most painful way to kill yourself.
Its abuse being freely sold over the counter makes it the number one cause of liver failure in the US and UK.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1403265/

>Paracetamol’s toxicity is also the single biggest cause of acute liver failure in the United States. Cases have been rising for six years, according to a study published in December (Hepatology 2005;42:1364-72). By 2003, the drug accounted for just over half the cases of acute liver failure, and about half of these cases were the result of unintentional overdose.

It boggles the mind the substance has not been put under harsher control yet.
If I ordered an expensive item, the seller or the shipping company chose to mail it through a jurisdiction where the item was illegal, and it was confiscated, I would 100% expect them to take responsibility for replacing my item immediately. They can wrangle the cost back from the confiscators on their own time.

I don't see this as any different. Square took on the responsibility to deliver this woman's money, and it has failed in that responsibility. Exactly how they failed should not be her problem. They need to make it right.
"you don't ask the question, why should an app like Uber be illegal? Why should taxi medallion holders have a monopoly on on-demand transportation in a city? To make hedgefunds rich?"

Medallions are just a mechanism for limiting the number of cabs to what the street network can support; isn't that obviously necessary?

On the other hand, it appears from what I read that Uber may have actually been dealing with the problem by charging surge rates and then keeping most of it, thereby reducing demand without increasing supply which is just what is needed. But that outrages everybody, so the argument for having the government ration things is that it's more socially acceptable - which is a valid reason!

The apps of Uber and Lyft seem to me like valuable innovations in that they allow you to get information on your ride, predict the cost, and pay with a credit card which are great improvements on regular cabs.

But cheering unregulated cabs makes no sense to me - the streets in a given city seem obviously a commons that needs regulation. Uber and Lyft are forms of regulation, so really, people only debate the details. Freedom vs. non-freedom is a caricature.

That's medicine, where the use of much better techniques are feasible and appropriate than in nutrition. What I'm saying isn't true of all fields. I'd put nutrition and economics near the top of the list, and medicine much further down.
But on Twitter all you see is this;

> That said though, in my experiences traveling, it has been shocking to me how desperately poor people can be in some countries.

This I fully believe. But also having lived under $15k/yr, I can't fathom how that placed me in the 93(ish) percentile. I could understand being in the 70th percentile just by merit of things like having a cellphone and internet but half (48.9%) the world's population is on the internet (up from 36.6% in 2013) and 35% of people have smartphones (66.5% have mobile devices). So there's something that I'm really missing. I do know that internet and cellphones weren't as ubiquitous in 2013, but if that's what's accounting for the different then there's been a huge and rapid shift but I'd also argue that something is wrong.

Clearly there's something I'm missing here. Because with my past experience this suggests to me that living paycheck to paycheck and being malnourished in the US(living in the <13th percentile in the US) still puts you over the 90% mark (world). I assume this would be similar in Europe. I mean I know we have a SIGNIFICANTLY higher quality of life here, but this suggests to me that 80% of the world has to be extremely malnourished. Lines like this confuse me

> Almost a third of the people had less than $1,000 to spend for the whole year, that's less than $3 per day on average!

Because I can understand that if you're in India or southeast Asia and those are $3 US. But I literally cannot figure out how that would be possible in the US. Assuming everything you have and eat is coming out of your pocket.

I'm really just curious. I'm going to go ahead and assume the economists know more about economics than me. I'm legitimately just trying to make sense of this.
Because why wouldn't you? It's pretty minimal effort for something you want to express respect for.

I have no reason to think Stallman didn't support whatever gender people in whatever roles, he seems more like a gender nihilist than anything. But it's pretty weird to spend time arguing with people about what their own personal experience is and I can see why it would make someone uncomfortable and unwelcome. It's very intrusive.
If you have a condition where you have trouble interacting socially with people, while also running an influential organization and acting as its figurehead, you need to be able to mitigate these issues. If this means you have an assistant who you run emails by before sending them, so be it. If your assistant also takes a look at your office (given to you as a favor by a respected educational institution) and tells you that "Knight of Hot Ladies" is not appropriate, then you take it down. If female colleagues are putting plants in their offices because they know you don't like plants and it will deter you from visiting them, you either need to recognize that on your own and do something about it, or allow a trusted someone to help you fix the situation.

Autism isn't an excuse for bad behavior. It can explain some bad behavior, but that bad behavior cannot continue over decades; it must be dealt with in some manner.

I cannot believe people keep defending him given the accounts of what he's actually done (assuming you believe the accounts). What about the women who have been creeped out or harassed by him, or who have left the field because of him? Don't they get any consideration?

As Matthew Garrett has pointed out (through personal experience with RMS), "the problem isn't that he's unable to understand, the problem is that he's unwilling to"[0]. So I don't buy the "because autism" line here.

Clearly, the proper enforcement of your execution of your employer's code of conduct && your boss's instructions needs to be handled by police and prosecutors, paid out of tax dollars. I'm glad you live in a place so flush with cash, and so tranquil such that this looks like a good use of the time and money of the state.

OTOH, we could accept that no ratable harm has been done to the public at large, and that this comes down to a private dispute between the university, the bribee, and the briber, where the latter two could be sued by the former for negligence in performance and tortious interference respectively. Civil law provides remedies for this, what is possibly achieved by making it criminal?
It's because the report it's based on [1] was split into only 4 categories: white, black, hispanic, and 'other'. Why they took such a coarse approach, I don't know.

I guess the article could have interviewed some Asians, but chose not to (I assume - I skimmed/skipped the interviews). Ignoring Asians when talking about people of color is the usual media M.O.

Mathematics is "hard" because there is a provably right and wrong answer. Moving away from mathematics, subjects become much more malleable and open to interpretation. For example the fuzziness of psychology allows something like the "Power Pose" to exist, while in math there would be no "Power Matrix" or some such.

I was disappointed that the latest Nissan Leaf, which used to be the cheap electric vehicle option with only the necessities, has now bumped the price up and added all sorts of luxury features like auto-dimming rear view mirror, rain-sensing wipers, heated seats, climate control, and an "intelligent mobility" system.

All I care about is cost, space, reliability, road noise, and range. And physical buttons.
Not sure why you're being downvoted; I think you're exactly correct.

Certainly we can't discount logic, but praising logic as some sort of solution, while ignoring people's emotions, is a great way to be completely ineffective at, well, nearly everything.
IMHO (1) is also an indication of maturity and discipline. To give an example: a place where I worked 20 years ago had a team of 40-ish people contributing to the same codebase in a monorepo (perforce anyone?). The build would happen every night or you could perform it yourself on your own machine. The same 2-3 people were responsible for 95% of the build breaks. When this happens no amount of process is going to save you.
The US banking system is incredibly risk adverse. They do things like automatically flag transactions with words that might indicate a violation of US sanctions, such as Havana or Cuba. Venmo, for example, is infamous for questioning transactions with keywords like this.

I'm rather young, so I might be exactly the kind of person that you were.

I think it's right to shut up when "logic" hurts people's feelings AND there's nothing to gain from saying it, but when there's an injustice and we can at least try to fight back, I think the right thing to do is just saying the "logical" truth, even if people's feelings get hurt.

I don't mean to say that my view is always the correct one, but rather that there's some subjacent right, "logical" system that we should strive to discover and apply. My opinion is simply my best effort at trying to discover that subjacent truth.

I don't know about that. Here in Kazakhstan many villages gained relatively high-speed ADSL (up to 8 Mb/s, usually 4 Mb/s) in the past 4-5 years. Most of them are not exactly flourishing either: imagine something like Detroit (from what I've seen), but on a much smaller scale. At least it didn't stop them from streaming the trendy Hollywood crap everyone talks about.
You could use transmissible preleukemia (eg CHIP in allo transplants) as an example if you wished.

Direct unassisted clonal transmission in humans seems likely but, as you noted, it hasn’t been documented to the extent that Tasmanian Devil facial tumors have.

Warts are a corner case. I’m not sure whether it’s been determined if some hosts end up increasing the fitness of the shed cells. If so, that’s quickly heading towards a globally transmitted precursor lesion.
