Cost, quality, and speed. Pick any two. You can’t have all three. There are several modes of delivery. Some projects have fixed delivery dates because it’s externally imposed. For example a regulatory requirement. Some are internally imposed - an executive imperative. Projects with fixed dates need dedicated resources and a highly functional scope management process. Others are “innovation/exploratory”. For example “let’s build a bitchen website”. What does that mean? What is the definition of done? This requires an agile, “integrate until we are satisfied or run out of funding” project that may or may not have dedicated resources.

No matter what, in a corporate environment you will need to be accountable to cost, which is simply humans * time. So some type of estimate will be needed.
I didn't get that impression. I think the parents felt that the FBI should have done more for them and for Billy considering his use to the FBI over several years prior to his trip to Russia.

I think estimates of effort required, estimates of timeline, and commitments to timeline (deadlines) are three different things with only loose relationships that are far too often conflated - to significant pain. I'm trying to play with this a bit in my personal process (and talking to my team about it) but don't really have any hard results yet.
> A statute of limitations is not aimed at helping people wriggling out of paying off their debts. Depending on the debt and jurisdiction there is bankruptcy for that.

Nor is it intended to maximize your profit margin.

If you know there is a debt, and further, that it accrues interest, you should (in good faith) attempt to collect it as soon as you possibly can.

This is literally the definition of acting in good faith.

random goog:

"Acting in good faith, or bona fide, as it is sometimes also referred to by the courts,
refers to the concept of being sincere in one's business dealings and
without a desire to defraud, deceive, take undo advantage, or in any way
act maliciously towards others."

If you are letting interest collect for profit and taking advantage of someone forgetting to pay (even if they are acting in bad faith and deliberately not paying), you are not being sincere and are being deceptive/taking advantage/ acting maliciously.

further there is something (IANAL) in the law about 'reasonable attempts at attempting to remedy breach of contract', which would apply in not following up with someone who is not making payments.

I'm not arguing for random debt forgiveness as others in this thread (and you're right - there is bankruptcy for that, etc), but pointing out that there is, in fact, literally and by the law 'something wrong with' letting debts accumulate on purpose for the purpose of profit maximization.

I again am not a lawyer, but wouldn't be surprised if someone could actually attempt to defend against some tort on these lines - especially if profit maximizing intent could be proved - while the debt wouldn't be stricken, the interest compounded could conceivably be since it accrued within the context of a bad-faith use of the situation.

I’m not questioning whether you can do it with web technology. But you still have to design it where both your business logic and your data can live on the device and it can queue submitted data until there is a connection available and if multiple people are updating the same record, knowing how to merge the information or knowing which one takes precedence. I’ve even seen cases where the logic depended not on just the record, it depended on knowing which fields were updated by the device when it was disconnected and the prior value of the field to make sure that the user had seen the most recent value before they updated it. If not, someone on the back end had to do a “manual merge conflict resolution” by calling both people.
> Movie theaters have never made most of their money from ticket sales. They make money from concessions.

We're getting nitpicky here.

Theaters still make money through ticket sales, though the studios take most of the revenue [1]. Sometimes theaters earn over 50% of revenue. It depends on the film. Disney takes more than anyone, leaving barely anything for theaters. Better not sneak in any snacks to their films or you'll be stiffing the theater!

But the bottom line is that Disney dictates what gets shown and when. If theaters don't give up as many screens as Disney wants, they'll lose their rights to Disney films outright. And that isn't fair.

I would actually believe it to be the opposite. If you know you will be attending a big event, and you have a project that seems feature complete.

I think the blog title use of 'solving' is misleading. As OpenAI didn't make the solving algorithm. It's a neat but limited use of transfer learning in an environment which requires heavy instrumentation. I could tell this immediately from the photo. What I didn't know was that the Rubix cube also had to be modified and that it had a high failure rate. While I'm sure this is state of the art in something it does seem overblown.

> it's an insidious wealth concentration mechanism aimed at removing both the motivation and means for upward mobility.

Wealth concentration mechanism? This seems like the exact opposite of wealth concentration to me. You're distributing money here.

The removal of upward mobility? Again, I fail to see how providing a basic income removes upward mobility. It's quite literally the exact opposite. One of the most difficult parts of getting yourself out of poverty and moving upward in class socioeconomically, is the seed level funding required to bootstrap yourself through your non-earning period to earning period. Usually in most cases, that's the time required to get an education when you're hemorrhaging money on both sides (i.e. having to pay tuition on one end while simultaneously having less time to work in favor of being able to have time to study/take the classes you're paying for on the other).

That’s exactly what I’m saying, in my example the old school netops guys who didn’t know anything about the “tech stack” in this case AWS, ended up designing horrible, inefficient solutions because they were learning on the job. They could have been “senior network engineers” because they spent years managing a colo. But, they definitely weren’t as efficient as someone who had built real world solutions on AWS.

It's not graft exactly, but simply the project structure leads to enormous inefficiencies. Eg subcontractors cannot work/meet/organize/plan directly with each other, because financial interests put silly lines in the sand. (Just think about how slow/dumb things can become if the backend, frontend and ops are completely separated, plus there's a middle layer (the general contractor) between them and the stakeholders.)

Plus, it seems that the main problem is that there's simply not enough experience/expertise at governments for managing/planning/executing these projects. Because too few people are in-house (or on payroll/retainer with the right/aligned incentives), and too few projects are done, so no competent team forms over time.

The gist I got was that the family suspected that the FBI asked him to go in the first place and then when he disappeared the FBI denied responsibility and tried to tell them their son had gone rogue to minimize their own responsibility.

> People have an aversion to public works projects

People have aversion to public works projects because they routinely see public works projects being mismanaged, hugely overbudget, delayed to geological times, used as source to appropriate public money into private pockets, and paraded for political influence while being badly maintained and chronically broken. I am far from being a millionaire, but I would require a lot of convincing to see how it actually benefits me and doesn't turn into another boondoggle for politicians and contractors. Maybe spending serious chunk of my income on a project that would not happen for decades, would be poorly maintained and I probably won't end up using because they'd screw up something like not having proper access to the endpoints is actually not my interests?

Profit center: spending more money on it can make you more money.
Cost center: spending more money will not be able to increase your revenue, hence the only way to improve your bottom line is by reducing costs.

A lot of the confusion on this thread was conflating necessary functions with profit centers. Billing and compliance are both necessary. Done poorly they can cost a lot of money. Done perfectly they can never increase the actual income of t he company. That is why sale and product development are traditionally the only parts of the business identified as profit centers. It doesn’t mean the others aren’t important just that they have different goals. Profit centers look to expand the business while cost centers look to increase efficiency through optimization.

They have different value during the life of a company. During growth, profit centers are the most valuable source of effort while for a mature company that has saturated its market cost centers are most valuable to focus on. The advice to stick to profit centers is somewhat equivalent to sticking to growth which nearly always has a higher return than optimization.

I’m not sure if they’re superior. One thing that iterators can do which clojure lazy-seqs can’t is that with iterators, we have the concept of abrupt termination or return. In javascript, this is analogous to calling break within an iteration block, or calling the return method directly on the iterator. There is no equivalent concept with clojure seqs, meaning you can’t do things which tie down resources, like creating a database cursor and yielding the results. With a generator, you just make sure that you close the cursor by wrapping your yield operators in a `try/finally`. There is no equivalent for a recursive lazy-seq function, even though clojure does have `try/catch/finally` expressions.

As far as why promises are superior to core.async you can refer to the list in my comment above.

Libertarians like UBI because while they don't like large government giving out entitlements, but they know they've lost the battle in trying to repeal entitlements - so if they're going to be stuck with the system they'd prefer one where people can do what they want with a money and a exponentially smaller government bureaucracy administering the handouts. It's not really shackling if you can do what you want with they money.

I think there might be some merit to your idea of UBI just keeping the existing elites at the top, if the foretold future automation taking away all the jobs does come to pass. In the meantime however, I think it's wrong to say that people will just stop working and trying to advance upwards. Most people aren't going to be happy with just a bare minimum income, they like the stuff a high income gets them. Plus work is still something many people derive meaning from, at all incomes. Work and upward mobility won't just go away with a comprehensive social safety net.

The implication I got is the men Billy found himself among men who didn't respect him (saw him as a walking wallet) and murdered him after he was no longer useful to them (they plausibly considered him a liability in combat since he didn't fit the mold of a soldier.) However I don't know if there was combat reported in the vicinity of Dibrivka during that particular time period. It's possible he was killed in combat.

For me, this is just the revealing of the inevitable because of the mentality of:

- The network is reliable

- The bandwidth is cheap

- The hardware is also cheap

All three statements are wrong, because everything is fast when the n is small. We're past that point. Network is not reliable, bandwidth and hardware are not cheap. At least in terms of time, and my time is neither cheap nor free.

Developers don't or can't optimize because it's either too much work, or it's working reasonably fast. Reasonably fast is not fast enough. We're wasting too much resources in cases like this.

Fontconfig on most distros is configured to reject bitmap fonts by default. On Debian, it's /etc/fonts/conf.d/70-no-bitmaps.conf. One way to fix that is enabling all bitmap fonts "dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig-config", which might be too much.

As a previous comment had pointed out before as well:

You wait for handshakes, fake a deauth packet of the handshaking client, spoof an access point with the same SID and wait for the deauth'd client to try a reconnect.

Voila, cleartext PSK without any bruteforcing.

And it's not solveable either. You can't use fingerprinting as this would make mesh lans and quick access point failover impossible.

> For example, my squad completes 85% of stories in 5 days. Given that, the number of stories in the epic, and number of engineers, it's easy math to calculate an approximate completion date.

Until it turns out that the remaining 15% takes half of the total time. In my experience, estimating about 80-90% of a project accurately isn't that difficult; it's the other 10-20% that can end up taking considerably longer than you expected and throwing off the entire estimate.
It is an interesting approach, though I feel like this could introduce some nasty unintended consequences given how dynamic and introspective Python can be (admittedly I haven't studied this particular implementation).

I always treated this a bit like single underscore private functions/methods, i.e., follow a convention that produces code that's easy to reason about, even if it's not strictly enforced by the language/compiler. So in practice this equates to separating out modules that mutate global state, and placing the majority of logic in "strict" modules that only declare a bunch of "pure" classes/routines. So the "non strict" code is really just a thin layer of wiring gluing everything together. For instance my Celery task files tend to be very thin.
