Is wanting my mom to not be presented with the option of installing malware on her phone (which she will do, and then later ask me to remove), totalitarianism?

Let me ask a similar question: is preventing con artists from contacting the elderly with varying degrees of cognitive decline (i.e. people who would easily be tricked by them), totalitarianism? Maybe when it’s the government doing it, but how about when it’s a feature of some, but not all, phones?

Apple isn’t a monopoly†. You buy into their curated walled garden, by choice. Just like you see a movie by choice, or enter an art gallery by choice. At that point, you are intentionally handing control over your experience to the person or organization who curates the experience. But you can always revoke that control: just leave the ecosystem.

Analogy: City parks exist. National parks exist. National wildlife preserves exist. The former does not preclude the latter. If you visit the former and don’t like the curated nature of it, you can always leave, and go visit the latter, where things are less curated. But there is value and functionality in the curation of a city park. For one, you can take small children and pets to city parks and not have to watch them very hard.

(† If something is a monopoly, such that it’s hard to avoid using it, then this argument doesn’t apply. Facebook, for example.)

Agile Fails for the following reasons.
1) In reality, most stories/tasks that make it out of the backlog and into sprints are the ones that were inserted by PM's, that support the short term goals placed on the PM. End result, massive technical debt in short order. Even if developers express the 'need' for refactoring, it gets delayed as the PM doesn't get fired for a messy code base, but gets fired for a late deadline.
2) Companies 'turned' to "SCRUM" and imagined/expected that by renaming meetings to "stand-ups" etc.. their productivity would increase significantly. This usually resulted in management blaming their engineering staff for their own follies.
3) Most Biz environments don't lend to a 'perfect' scrum model, as such, many organizations try to 'shoe-horn' practices in situations where it doesn't make sense. For example, an organization may not have the ability to adjust features or timelines, resulting in stories being a convenient way to blame engineers for poor decisions outside of their control (Sales selling products that don't exist and promising it yesterday, or Product demanding features that are unrealistic, etc..).
4) Another buzz word that has little functional value other than to help 'experts' get promotions, who in practice are nothing but glorified PM's with a pinch of snake-oil salesmanship.
Launch HN: Uplevel – Concierge for matching you to a top-tier coach
I’m Jen, Founder of Uplevel (https://uplevel.coach). Uplevel is a concierge that matches you to a top-tier personal coach.

Last year, I discovered coaching while struggling to get over a relationship. When I felt how quickly it had a positive impact it had on my personal life, I knew I could use a coach for my professional life as well. My coach accelerated my path to a raise and a promotion. (More details on my story here: https://medium.com/@jenkliu/hiring-a-coach-was-the-best-investment-ive-ever-made-e8f9ac4a7166)

Since then, I’ve suggested coaching to all my friends and family. Finding the right coach is tough, though—coaching is an unregulated industry, so there are no clear signals for coach quality. Furthermore, the relationship between coach and coachee is intensely personal, so it’s important to find a coach whom you trust and feel comfortable opening up to.

I’m launching Uplevel to make it a breeze to find the right coach. Just sign up, answer a few questions, and we’ll match you with a coach who fits your unique needs. We’ll make it easy to schedule a sample session so you can make sure it’s a good fit before making the investment. If it’s not a good fit, we’ll send you another match until you’re ready to move forward.

Unlike other platforms, we vet all our coaches beforehand to make sure they’re of the highest quality. We also take into account factors like background, goals, and preferences so that we find the best coach for you, independent of others' experiences.

I’ve just kicked off a pilot with a pool of coaches in my network, and I’ve opened up a waitlist for anyone who wants to get matched. If you or anyone you know is interested in getting a coach, I’d love to speak with you! You can also sign up at: https://uplevel.coach. If you know any badass coaches, I’d love an intro as well (jen@uplevel.coach).

I’d love to hear your feedback, ideas, and experiences with coaching. And I’m happy to answer any questions!
This is a great point. If there's a tool that no one can figure out how to use properly or effectively, it's hard to argue that the tool is well designed.

Your observation is right on target, and it has been predicted and validated [0]. The people who originally developed agile understood this, but it's one of the kinds of things that doesn't really sink in in many cases.

I'm fairly certain this is a net terrible for publishers.

The only leverage publishers had besides saying no was to be able to move between Taboola or Outbrain to leverage better payouts from the other side.

You think that it is how it's supposed to work, but that's not really how it works. When a bottleneck presents itself everyone gets to work around it as it is not fixable by them! (Or the fixes are deemed either or of scope out to time consuming, so you're directly even prevented trying at it.)

Generally you cannot fix things you do not have control over. Kanban is meant to have a process person fix the bad bottlenecks - not the developers, not the managers - and said person is supposed to have the clout to pull it off. I've never seen Kanban implemented properly.

As for the example - if testers are not keeping up, either you hire more or enhance testing methodology. Throwing developers at it slows down development moving the bottleneck.
(Of course, throwing some developers to provide better testing methodology, testable components or automation would be a proper fix.)
Got a source on that? I don't believe you.
Right, but presumably you'd be using a wavelength that's scattered a bit less than that.
Devs are such a special kind of people that you should just leave them alone? #sarcasm

I for one like where we are heading with things like Event Storming/Modeling. I admit I care more about solutions than spending time on perfectly describing a problem. Stop the navel gazing. IMHO. Agile tries to solve the Big Issue. Communication.
The issue isn't the freedom of association of the publisher.

The first issue is the legal framework for assigning risk and liability to the publisher in a way that creates a chilling effect on speech.

The second issue is a culture of outrage that creates a culture of fear and creates a chilling effect that prevents needed discussion from taking place. We need to push back against rather than encourag partisan or ideological boycotts.

I totally missed this question, but in case you find this answer:

It can barely keep up at true highway speeds. It can keep up at ~60-70 mph on flat ground, but just barely. Given highway speed limits are 60 mph minimum in most places (meaning traffic goes at 70 mph), this means I usually am losing charge on long journeys. If I lived in a place like TX where the speed limit was higher, then the REx wouldn't be able to keep up at all and there'd be a net loss in charge.

However, I have hold state-of-charge (HSoC) on-demand coded to my car (in the EU, you can enable the REx any time you want. CA regulations prohibited this in the US, but it can be enabled via an ODB-II adapter). If I am going on along journey, I enable the REx with a button at 80%.

I've done 600-700 mi trips without charging the car by filling the gas, as long as I'm conscious to begin looking for a gas station when the gas tank is ~10% (which is about 10 miles, and I've found that within 10 miles is about the max you'd find gas stations apart on a major highway).

By the time I get home, I'm down to 40-50% charge on the car (from 80%, since I can't turn on HSoC/REx at 100%, so the first 20% doesn't count for determining whether the REx can keep up) if I'm paranoid. This also is through the Cascade mountains in WA, so the real world usage holds up even over mountain passes. Going up the pass is a real pain since there's a high net loss of electrical charge, but going back down is basically "free" thanks to regen.
While I have full respect for you to preach what you believe in, I'd like to urge the consideration for a detachment of promotion for democracy with regards to morality.

Whichever mode of governance is simple a practice of value proposition that a particular regime sees as fit for their particular regional control/political reign.

While democracy has its ostensible upsides, is such a protest at length really what's on the high moral ground?

Many protestors are students who have a large amount of time, but have only seen less of this world, albeit believing in an idealistic view. The ones who suffer are the ones who reside in HK and are running out of methods to meet ends for their family that they have to feed. Consider the bus drivers for the tourism industry that are basically out of job and are powerless as figuring out what's the best course of action at this moment?

Sure, maybe you can say a change is in dire need, via a certain perspective, it's absolutely respectable, though in the wake of being respectful for the whole population and the region, is such a protest which has lasted over 100 days truly the right course of action?

Think for the HKers, is it truly better to pursue an unstable democracy in the merit of preaching a perceived sense of idealism, or is it perhaps better to focus on economic growth and enabling an entire population to a higher living standard? Nobody has the correct answer and it's definitely up to every single one of us individually to consider.

Disclaimer: I am a Chinese so I may indeed have perceived bias, or just bias. Feel free to have a rational discussion with me and educate me on other perspectives, or even downvote me, all opinions are welcomed and respected.
Kanban goes a little further in my own experience. Here are some things I’ve seen in the wild:

- make sure that developers have some slack time, so that they can cater to their tools and study new things

- never move back an item to a previous column. If
something more important came up, you “cancel” the current task and start the new one. This helps to identify bottlenecks
One of the advantages of moving to Kanban in my previous job was that people was that the code quality improved a lot because they were rushing at the end of sprints.

Quality of life increased a lot, too.
Of course it's different. It's obviously different. That doesn't make "if it was a bad exchange they wouldn't do it" a good argument in support of either of those examples.
I would also like to see the WTO to be completely empty.
Might it not be that it's extraordinarily hard to manage software development in general? Are you aware of any other methodology that's easier to do right and get the desired results?
I believe it's an inaccurate description.

As I said elsewhere, when someone says "I've been waiting for days" and it's actually been minutes, we don't say "days sometimes means minutes". We say they were exaggerating for effect. It's a different use of the same meaning.

I think it's the same for "literally". Hyperbolic use of the original meaning. If "literally" meant "figuratively" we would expect to see sentences that would be interpreted as literal but for the inclusion of "literally", and I don't think I have ever seen one.
I typically like having less apps on my phone rather than more. This feels like when Facebook spun off Messenger, I just stopped using it on my phone
I can't say I mind Agile, but don't expect me to do any work when I'm constantly interrupted by meetings.
But who ensures it isn't? Management who are the ones inherently attracted to having the metric to use? The ones who are able to withstand that pressure and not touch the information are likely the ones would could see the information without using it as a stick.

I guess upper management could enforce the separation on a level lower management could not override, but I would assume such cases are rare.
My opinion: A publisher who knowingly publishes libelous material should be on the hook.

My concurrent opinion: Britain's libel laws specifically are toxic and should be reformed.

Thank you so much! I've been looking into building a foundation with regards to formal methods and safety-critical systems, and besides getting familiar with the regulations and Standards around that type of software, I've also been looking to build up some familiarity with the tools to achieve those higher levels of provability!

This all looks like it fits the bill perfectly! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
>This isn't unique to software. It isn't even unique to white-collar jobs. Why does that even need a name?

Kanban originates in Toyota's factory line. The key thing isn't the existence of the list, it's in making people responsible for maintaining and tracking the list rather than consolidating the authority in foremen who direct minions on what to do next. This makes it possible for teams to set priorities collaboratively and move between roles fluidly.

It also establishes a clear order in which things need to be done and an agreed upon subdivision of tasks that make it possible to track the status of work.
High profile cases disproportionately affect opinions. E.g. a single photo of an dead immigrant child was enough to cause a sea change
kanban is for factories to make more cars etc. the boss likes it, the workers, not so as they're pushed by the rule with less leeway.

agile is for software companies to hopefully build product faster, managers like it, developer not so, as daily standup alone pressures developers to stay on track all the time, e.g. less "free" time at work etc.

both are really designed for the owners, not for developers, so it's absolutely normal when you say software developers hate it.

So here's the thing... "Sprints" are not specifically part of "Agile" at all! Look at the Agile Manifesto and see if the word "sprint" appears at all. (Hint: it does not).

So anybody complaining about "sprints" isn't complaining about "Agile", they're complaining about one specific attempt to implement the principles of Agile. Likely that's Scrum, since "sprints" are mainly a Scrum notion. But Scrum is not the only way to do Agile, and it certainly may not be the best. And even within the world of Scrum, there's a lot of variance in terms of exactly how it's implemented.

I like this hypothesis as to why: https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2018/10/losing-...
The part missing from agile is the model for what software is and how it is built. If management don't correctly understand the nature of software development, they will inevitably manage it incorrectly, tie it to the wrong accounting measures, and embed an adversarial perspective to their own development teams.
This is amazing. Thank you for this.
Amen to that as a general point. If people aren't figuring out how to do "true X", you have to wonder whether X itself is hard to understand or do.
> I want peer-reviewed science, like the vastly significant body of research that has been produced showing AGW.

Are you also unaware of the peer-review crisis?

> No. You're the one insisting that the global scientific orthodoxy is wrong. You present the evidence.

Since you appeared to be unaware, I informed you that a particular, widely cited paper was discovered, years ago, to have been fraudulent, and that the information about it is freely available on the Internet. Five seconds on Google (or perhaps DuckDuckGo) would present you with the information.

You have refused to avail yourself of said information.

It is not my responsibility to educate you about science. If you care about scientific integrity, you can look up the information without any interference from me. If you prefer to remain ignorant and fixed in your beliefs, that is your decision.

> No, he didn't. Try looking up the original. But even if he did, it wouldn't matter. The science is overwhelming. It makes no difference what one individual said 23 years ago.

You accused me of "bullshit," but here you are simply lying. I have cited the original, and I have the original, and since you are willfully ignorant, I will quote it here:

On the one hand, as scientists we are ethically bound to the scientific method, in effect promising to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but — which means that we must include all the doubts, the caveats, the ifs, ands, and buts. On the other hand, we are not just scientists but human beings as well. And like most people we’d like to see the world a better place, which in this context translates into our working to reduce the risk of potentially disastrous climatic change. To do that we need to get some broad based support, to capture the public’s imagination. That, of course, entails getting loads of media coverage. So we have to offer up scary scenarios, make simplified, dramatic statements, and make little mention of any doubts we might have. This ‘double ethical bind’ we frequently find ourselves in cannot be solved by any formula. Each of us has to decide what the right balance is between being effective and being honest. I hope that means being both.

--Stephen Schneider in APS News, Aug/Sep 1996, p. 5

Now you can look it up and see for yourself, and then you can retract your ignorant lie and false accusation.

You obviously don't care about the truth. Climate change is your religion, and your faith is unwavering.
