So ok, honestly trying to understand this. You are saying a massive country-wide vote was decided based on a couple of bizarre myths ("Romanians and bureaucrats") propagated for some reason by some vaguely motivated groups, and majority (slim, but nonetheless) of the country made a decision on some ridiculous myths that have no basis in reality.

What was the motivation for these lie-spreading groups to propagate those myths?

How could a majority of a Western, best-educated probably in the whole world, about as democratic and core-value-believing country, be in a single moment swayed by a bunch of scammers like that? Was there any other basis for that, perhaps? Again, honest question, I know almost nothing about British politics, but dismissing a major vote in a very rich and educated country as lunacy seems ... not a great explanation?
You need the right customers. We were really lucky the lady in charge of the business team learnt enough of how the development worked to sit in that middle ground between her team of experts and ours to guide the direction well. I would say she and our engineering principle were what made things work well. If you are working with generic customers out there in the world then its much harder to utilise customer focussed requirements.
Well there are lof or other diseases that employers could require test for and that can harm productivity. But fortunately this is forbidden by law in most countries. So I don't think it's more an issue that it already is.
I am ok with Reddit choosing what content is publicly available on their platform. It should go without saying Reddit should also be responsible for the content it chooses to serve.

Relative to universal suffrage with elected representatives (be it party or individual-based). Read about the current system and why the law, which has caused the previous protests, got accepted, while being vastly unpopular among citizens.
I read the books as a child, too, and I appreciate when those quotes come up. They demonstrate something about the books that never became clear to child-me, something I only dimly started to grasp when I was older and only fully realized a lot later: Those books go far far beyond an entertaining story. They are a pointed critique of society and politics. They have an opinion. They're not mere books for children.

And the point Samuel Vimes is making goes far beyond a simple "If you buy cheap, you buy twice." It extends that basic knowledge by realizing that some people have no other option than to buy cheap, forcing them to spend resources over and over and over again and still get a worse result in the end, and how this is a fundamental and systemic social unfairness.
The idea is that this is a board retrofit into the existing housing / control setup. The BEKANT only has two buttons available, so this controller has two buttons to play with.

Of course, you could build a new controller and housing with whatever input buttons you want, but the cost then would go up considerably.

That's the beauty of it being open source. If someone really needs it, they can do it.
> "If you buy cheap you buy twice."

And for the kinds of goods I buy, in most cases it doesn't hold up. Cheap shoes might be only 25% of the price of good shoes, but in my experience last 50% as long, costing less overall. Compound that with other chances of loss (getting dusty in the back of a cupboard and eventually being thrown out in a declutter), and cheap works out far cheaper

https://www.scmp.com/article/48108/thatcher-reveals-dengs-th...

> DENG Xiaoping threatened China could seize Hong Kong in a day, former British prime minister Lady Thatcher has revealed.
The threat by the Chinese patriarch was contained in his famous warning that Beijing might take back the territory before 1997 at their September 1982 meeting in the Great Hall of the People, Lady Thatcher says in her memoirs, The Downing Street Years, to be published tomorrow.
The threat is being used to try to block Governor Chris Patten's moves towards greater democracy in Hong Kong.
''He said that the Chinese could walk in and take Hong Kong back later today if they wanted to,'' says Lady Thatcher. ''I retorted that they could indeed do so; I could not stop them. But this would bring about Hong Kong's collapse. The world would then see what followed a change from British to Chinese rule.''
> China spent a big chunk of their history under foreign occupation

Not true. Most of Chinese history is under a unified regime. The years between 1850-1950 is an outlier in Chinese history.

I don't see China's actions here as insecure. HK never really has a chance to be separate from China, that is just its geopolitical destiny. It is more like Xi or CCP's assertion than vulnerability that leads to this legislation. It is the classical Asian parenting techniques, just manifest at a much larger scale.

BTW: I do read Chinese history books, and in Chinese. :)
It was way worse when I had to implement it a few months back.

It's still incomplete, their implementation deviates from the standard or use some lesser used mechanism like the form_post response_type, requiring custom code.

Implementing this was not a pleasant experience.

If free speech doesn't protect a person's right to say negative, bad, or even wrong things, it's not free speech. Even the strictest authoritarian regimes don't restrict people from saying approved or positive things--that simply wouldn't make sense unless their goal is to have zero speech whatsoever.
The thing I personally see that corrupts Scrum the most are external stakeholders. They're usually applying time pressures and defining work items to be worked on. The team then has no ownership and no control, resulting in an unhappy and unmotivated team that's constantly disappointed with itself for not delivering and often isn't really invested in what's being asked of them.

If you want teams to care, they need to own it. When teams care, things happen faster. The catch is that you can't make them care about what you want done. You need to treat the team like the "10x rogue developer" giving them freedom to pursue what they want to pursue, steered by the product owner, shielded from external stakeholders. A product owner that mandates as _part_ of a team "we need to do X by y because Bob from marketing wants it" has a losing battle on their hands.

I really think the best person to be prioritising is the leader of the moment. Sometimes it's the strongest Dev, sometimes it'll be the product owner, sometimes it'll be the scrum master, sometimes it'll be a UX designer. It could be anyone, that everyone believes in. The next week/month/quarter it'll naturally be someone different, or maybe it's still that same person, if everyone is on board then there's no issue, right? That's not to say there's should be bitter infighting either, only that everyone should follow the herd. This way, the majority of people believe they're working on the right thing, and social pressures get others pushing in the same direction too.
Something I've never understood is why anesthesia was ever something that needed to be invented or discovered in the first place. Haven't people been aware of opium for hundreds, maybe thousands of years? Seems like every surgeon in town would have had his own garden for raising opium poppies.

I'm sure there are other plants with soporific or dissociative effects that would make surgery less painful. (Coca leaves, maybe?) But Papaver somniferum is the one that mostly comes to mind.

Curious where you found these numbers?

Also these numbers certainly don't account for preventative-proactive, non-medication treatment options that may allow for better neurotransmitter production - as the field of psychiatry, not being multi-disciplinary, doesn't care about such approaches.

And whether that's true or not that the origin is "too low of certain neurotransmitters" or that is a secondary effect of different origins isn't concluded in your statement or statistics.
Absolutly agree, if you don't know where you are going, how can you possibly move towards it. At the end of every milestone its super important to take a step back and ask, are you on the write track.

If nobody can clearly tell you the end goal, your project management process is not the problem.

> We have quite a lot of them, around 300 for our 10.000 employees, and from a buyers perspective things like Scrum and agile rarely makes a lot of sense

> No one is going to give you an unlimited amount of money of time for an uncertain amount of features

In a customer project I worked on recently, the consultancy I work at had a contract based on the number of story points - something like, "we will deliver 200 story points in phase 1". Now, because a story point is a relatively nebulous thing, there is of course a lot of room on both sides to fiddle things, but actually the customer was pretty happy with it.

The actual scrum teams were completely miserable, but that's a separate point altogether :)
Its "language-enabling" feature set sucks. Reified generics for reference types force C#'s variance model on any CLR language that wants good code and data interop, and there is no portable good lightweight concurrency primitive. Sure Java is missing some important stuff like value types and tail call elimination (I don't think the CLR has the latter, either), both being addressed, but the CLR suffers from some early decisions that are nearly impossible to fix even if MS did show it had the inclination to fix them. Overall, Java is a more compelling compilation target than .NET, and Truffle is making it so much more so.

You're right but an injection is not an infusion.

"Such things" are the foundation of symbolic math libraries, deep learning libraries, most optimizing compilers and Wolfram Alpha. I.e it is not true that they would be incredibly inefficient or mathematically unsound.

I don't understand your point about the Tablemaker's dilemma because it is a dilemma only if precision is fixed. With the correct numeric type (rationals) precision is not fixed.

An outspoken racist falsely attacks one of the great legal defenders of Blacks in America and your argument is, "it's entirely possible for racists to say things that aren't racist."

I'm doubtful you will convince anyone with that argument: perhaps not even yourself.
Of course the technology isn't going to solve most cases.

But what this is saying is that they have a 5 % "hit rate" using the technology.

That's way better than mugbooks and has little added personnel time for the search process. That 5% catch rate is "free" except for what they pay the contractor.

So as long as it's properly seen as identifying candidate suspects rather than definitive suspects, it can be a big win. It's a tool. Any tool can be misused.
A lot of hype is there for tailwind. I will check it out in near future.

At least people who disagree with the government don't get shot randomly here in Europe.

And obviously, aligned troops stationed somewhere can't make conflict more likely. The only thing it might do is create a conflict in a situation where you'd just lose otherwise. I'll take a conflict over occupation. Oh and get the fuck out of Ukraine already, will you?

It was obviously a weird idea, so they were posing it as a question, which is not a strange thing to do if you've never encountered it. Meanwhile, you keep making assumptions based on your own experience which is different from that of others, and stating obvious things from which you then manage to draw wrong conclusions by interpreting them in an obviously incorrect time or context. (I didn't downvote you btw.)
> Friedrich Hayek put the Austrian in Austrian Economics

No he didn't. The concept of 'Austrian Economics' was applied to Carl Menger a central part of the marginal revolution of the late 1800s. His books 1871 – 'Principles of Economics' and 'Investigations into the Method of the Social Sciences with Special Reference to Economics'. Are the foundation stone of Austrian economics.
I recommend the book The Emperor of All Maladies that goes into detail of this discovery.
I think the value of Agile is that everybody is different, and every problem posses unique challenges. You don't want to just follow some process in a book and expect it to work with your unique group of developers and designers, or for the unique problem you are trying to solve.

You could start with something suggested in a book. But you need to be ready to adjust your process when you identify when something is not working.

We've implemented a bunch of third-party login solutions on our platform, but in retrospect I think it was not worth it for us. I think integrating third-party logins makes sense if you know that most of your target users come from a given platform or your application wants to interact with a specific platform (e.g. a Github integration).

Otherwise the points the author makes seem painfully correct from our experience. Adding third-party sign-in immediately complicates the frontend as you need to support OAuth/OpenID-Connect workflows that are much more complicated than sending a password & e-mail combination (and possibly an OTP token) to a backend and reading the result. In addition, even though OAuth/OpenID-Connect are standardized it seems that almost every provider has decided to add its own quirks to it, so you can almost never just reuse the same code for integrating e.g. Github and Gitlab sign-ins.

What we currently do is to always add an e-mail using the third-party provider and use that to allow a password reset or password creation. You have to be quite careful with this as well though unless you want to open new security isues. Incorrectly implemented sign-in workflows via third-party providers can open avenues for account takeovers if you implement e-mail validation or account reconciliation incorrectly (e.g. an adversary might register an account with the victim's e-mail on a third-party platform and try to use that to sign into the victim's account; if the sign-in flow is configured incorrectly [happens a lot] the system will recognize the e-mail and sign the attacker into the victim's account).

Also, don't trust any validated information from third-party providers (especially e-mail addresses), as this can provide another attack vector. Always do your own validation.
This is a detailed analysis. I was thinking to start Patreon but I tried Buymeacoffee page and turns out, it is slowly becoming like Patreon only. But better.

Ask any Chinese person whether the quality of life is better now than 5 years ago, and they'll say yes. Ask them if it's better than 10 years ago and they'll say of course. Ask a grandma if it's better than 50 years ago, and she'll think you're insane for even doubting that it's better. People have trains, food, houses, and smartphones as a baseline with many taking international trips. A couple decades ago, China was incredibly poor. Their modern lifestyle was unimaginable, which is why the CCP has no trouble maintaining stability.

And China is chipping away at its various cultures and pushing for one Mandarin-speaking Han identity and achieving that goal quite quickly.

I have no clue what point you're trying to make.
