There is also the case of "liability". An average driver can drive the car into a tree with no problems at all. No one except the driver is responsible there.

But if a company sells a product with the name "Autonomous Driver", than that company is liable if the product mulfunctions (ie. drives a car into a tree).

Behavior Is the Product of Incentives
But wait, that is today! fakes shocked expression
Let’s say you have a stand up that is developer only and has only 5 developers. Well within the 2 pizza box limit and really how much smaller can a team get.

A standup where developers are sharing what they are working on and people are actually paying attention means that as a developer I have to pay attention to 4 different technical discussions in the span of 15 mins.

The context switching and mental energy required to do that is tremendous especially when you may already be in the midst of working on your own complicated and mentally taxing project.

And this is the best case scenario. Throw in larger teams, throw in non devs, etc and it only gets exponentially more complicated from there.

The whole idea behind daily stand ups is broken.

What you want, at most, is a 1-2 per week regular status update, at the end of the day, when you’re already mentally tired so the time wouldn’t be better spent elsewhere, and good enough team relation building that you can approach each other directly when you need something.

Agile/scrum tries to replace team building with status updates. When in reality, what one needs is team members to get familiar enough with each other so they know that Jack really gets the post lunch slowdown, so after lunch is probably the best time to approach him because he may not be actively working on anything, while Jill likes to sort out all her emails and communications first thing in the morning and then focus on her work in long uninterrupted stretches, so that’s when I should reach out to her for questions/discussions.

And you need to build the ability in your teammates to be able to think about the bigger picture, and decide whether the question they need answered by Jill right now while she is in the middle of her deep work is really urgent and important enough that it warrants breaking her flow or not, or if it can wait till the next day or if it’s short and simple enough, till you guys get lunch together today.

The Big Lie is that team building can be replaced by process. And the Big Lie is pushed (with the best intentions) because team building cannot be packaged and sold as a 3 day workshop (well, it is, but that comes across as inauthentic and doesn’t usually work well, and team retreats have lost the majority of their flavor because honestly I don’t want to get to know the vast majority of my colleagues outside of our work lives). What it comes down to is good leadership to build a strong team culture, and that’s harder to find and develop.

So instead of making the effort and learning to accept that you will have failures where the wrong person is made team leader, or they were made team leader too early and building feedback mechanisms to identify such mistakes and hopefully correct them ASAP, we resort tom3 day workshops that teach agile and that you can replace culture with regular stand up meetings.
Context is important, as outlined from the article:

> However, the key lies in an earlier agreement that AstraZeneca made back in May with the U.K., which was a binding deal establishing “the development of a dedicated supply chain for the U.K.,” an AstraZeneca spokesperson said.

One official close to the U.K. contract said the agreement began as an email in April from the U.K. government saying it would provide £65 million to help the University of Oxford execute its production plan. It later evolved into a fully-fledged contract between the government and the British-Swedish company, which also might explain why it took until August for the contract to be signed.

Most important, however, is that it meant that the British government was “effectively a major shareholder” in the jab’s development as early as April. After Oxford and AstraZeneca agreed to team up at the end of April, for example, the British government filled seats on Oxford-AstraZeneca joint liaison committees.

“Protecting the U.K.‘s supply was a central objective ... as that was being negotiated from April onwards,” the official said. Even though this isn't explicitly stated in the contract, the official said that the government’s role in the early stages of the vaccine meant “there is absolutely no way that AstraZeneca would have been able to enter a contract which gave away equal priority of access to the U.K. doses.”

This British supply was therefore already secured by the time four EU countries — Germany, the Netherlands, France and Italy — signed an agreement in June to obtain up to 300 million doses of the vaccines. The countries’ deal at the time was a fairly bare-bones agreement, and it’s unclear whether it established a European supply chain, but over the summer it was transferred into the formal purchasing agreement managed by the Commission.
> Good if you ask me.

Why, exactly? I wouldn't buy any such a thing, but I know several institutions that have good reasons to.

People in general have some obsession with the Nazi and the last war. As if WWI never happened, and great wars before it. Because of this obsession, many people seem to think that the cause of a future war would be a kind of Nazism, completely disregarding the fact that it wasn't the cause of WWI and other earlier wars. Paradoxically, they also seem to forget what were the actual reasons of the rise of Nazism in post-WWI Germany (huge WWI retributions, enormous inflation and omnipresent poverty - basically people were very unhappy, and this very unhappiness was abused by Hitler; the ideology came afterwards).
Many millions have poor internet connections: https://blogs.microsoft.com/on-the-issues/2019/04/08/its-tim...

If you drive out of a populated area across the US, nearly all of it is very sparsely populated, and therefore has terrible internet. 18% of Americans live in these areas, and that’s 54 million people. That’s a lot of frustrated individuals! Even in more populated rural areas like Ohio, you might get cable (but not fiber) to the nearest village, but even a half mile out of town, it’s only DSL (6mbps down on a good day).
Ooh that's better.
Have you heard about DarkScrum?

The Agile manifesto doesn't talk about roles or how the process should be, but Scrum does it.

Agile itself was introduced by bunch of software engineers came up with the Agile manifesto. It's simple, abstract, and effective. There are many successful tech companies that already have something more extensive than Agile. Agile manifesto is just a good starting point if you don't have anything in place.

But somehow Scrum became the recipe to implement Agile and we ended up with a job title called Scrum Master which has been increasingly taken by non technical people inside traditional organizations.

I've seen teams that implement Scrum by the book. They have a person called Scrum Master that facilitates all team meetings. It basically turns other team members into reactive players instead of proactive. But, do we really need a person to facilitate team meetings and ceremonies?

I talked with a few Scrum Masters, their job satisfaction is actually very low and even though they don't admit it to their own team, they don't believe they are adding real value. What they all have in common is that they all want to switch to a different role and they are looking for an opportunity.

I couldn’t find anything similar in other industries, and it's hard to find a successful development team that implements Scrum by the book. What you find most of the time is what is called "other Scrum flavors" and I think that's a problem in our industry. What many teams are doing isn't Scrum, but anything that has a short release cycle, a daily update in any form, and a retrospective is called Scrum.

The irony is that most of the Silicon Valley and successful tech companies don't use Scrum at all. In fact many of them don't even label what they have as Agile.

What is happening right now is many companies wasting lots of time trying to implement Scrum by the book until they fail and move on to something that they call a Scrum flavor. I think we should stop calling it Scrum so others don't have to repeat the same mistake again and again.

If a team fails, Scrum compares it to its book and says the team failed because they didn't implement Scrum properly. And when a team with one of those so-called "Scrum flavors" is successful, Scrum takes all the credit.

I personally think we should kill Scrum. We shouldn't advocate it and we shouldn't call any team with a daily update a Scrum team. Many successful tech companies don't use Scrum, but they aren't vocal about it.

Sorry, should have mentioned "if you have access to Shenzhen" in my post :)

What I have in mind is something like RK3399Pro, it has a proprietary NPU at roughly 3Tops / 1.5W (on paper). But its toolchain is rather hard to use. Hisilicon had similar offerings. There are also Kendryte K210 which claims 1Tops @ 0.3W but I haven't get any chance to try it.

I was already playing with RK3399Pro When Edge TPU was announced, life is tough when you had to feed your model into a blackbox "model converter" from the vendor. That's the part I hope Edge TPU excels at. But months later I was greeted by... "to use Edge TPU, you have to upload your TFLite model to our online model optimizer", which is worse!
It is a good counter-argument. I will admit that I still marvel at the way it is structured. I do not think I can match that. It is a compliment.

I will open by saying that, from my perspective, in accordance with Sturgeon's law, 80% of books on Ebay and Amazon ARE spam and should be delisted for the well-being of general populace and positive feeling of accomplishment for busy-bodies, who seem to be running those operations. If we start removing spam, we better get the proper authorities ready to remove the superfluous, pointless and downright dangerous material that spam produces.

Still, is your standard 'did enough people complain'? If so, that is a bad standard, and most certainly not how internet was devised, or was intended to work.

I think the issue I have with 'casual rasism' in this book is that I do not see it, and yet my access to the book is limited, because sufficient amount of people whined. In short, I do not buy this argument.

But lets say I do, and we want to talk spreading bad ideas. US is ok with allowing Mein Kampf. How is it different? Why are those ideas ok to spread, but not that one? How is attempting to destroy an entire population less offensive than 'casual racism'? Do we have some sort of diagram that shows how victimhood is rated?

The answer is really simple. It is not better or worse. It is just an idea. And if 'casual racism' is an idea, then its spread is absofuckinglutely a freedom of speech issue. Just not one one can easily get behind, because it is, well, bad. But that does not mean you can just pretend it does not exist.

Peoria has a 50%+ homeownership rate. Most of the people voting locally are not facing rising rents, let alone rents at all.

> I don't put people mobilizing into the ideological framework of "the market".

Ah, I see, you don’t actually care about whether people act in their own self-interest, you just don’t like capital-E Economics and are using this as an excuse to throw out all of our understanding that people respond to incentives.

“The market” is not the only ideological framework that assumes rational actors. Do you have an alternate model of non-rational humans that you are assuming when you’re talking about making things happen by “people mobilizing”? Are they somehow not considering their own self-interest?

> Importantly, I'm not talking about what will happen by virtue of some outside force or guarantee of history

Of course. But those who ignore history are condemned to repeat it.

The most accessible introduction (in my opinion) is 'Laws of Chaos - Invariant Measures and Dynamical Systems in One Dimension' by Boyarsky and Gora. For a short survey on just stability of the invariant measure you could look at 'Linear Response, Or Else' by Baladi. I also like the lecture notes 'Statistical properties of uniformly hyperbolic maps and transfer operators' spectrum' by Carlangelo Liverani.
I agree. I think both the elected government and these monopolies are actively harming people. However, eBay's refusal to sell children's books with racist caricatures is not the vanguard of some effort by those power structures to consolidate power; after all, racist imagery has been used for centuries to consolidate power in America.

These companies don't operate on the same kind of logic as the courts do - this sets no precedent. Amazon and eBay could block the sale of any book tomorrow if they wanted to; they could have done it yesterday, as well. The real power these structures espouse is to get us bickering over children's books, rather than devoting our energies towards things that actually matter.
> Instead, we talk about how sexism is the biggest problem. Sure, sexism might be annoying, but in the west, it is hardly something that creates a genuine barrier for women.

This is something I've heard a lot of talented young women say at the beginning of their careers. With all due respect... give it a few years.

Sexism plays out in really subtle ways, often unconsciously. After a while though you start to notice patterns: who is hired and promoted, who is mentored and fast-tracked, which people are given high-profile projects and which aren't, who is noticed by leadership and who isn't.

You'll also become more aware of aggregate effects. I.e., "because boss at company X mentored me, I was able to get a senior position at company Y, which paved the way to my current job at fast-growing company Z."

That said, as an individual woman in the industry, devoting much energy to thinking about sexism is a losing game. In fact I think it's better to pretend it doesn't exist and focus on what you can control: the quality of your work, your skills, relationships with coworkers, and so on.

A more realistic take is: They think Tesla is massively overvalued and should be held accountable for fraudulent corporate behaviour.

We made extensive use of Postgres notify for our app https://hanami.run

We have a Rails app and a mail server. The mail server has to be able to refresh its configuration from the Rails UI(new domain, new inbox, DKIM etc). so every change in Rails notify the mail server(which is listen on postgres) it works great for us. We process about 8000 emails per days just fine now.

Overcommitting means providing more virtual memory to be mapped than is available in physical memory. It works by mapping memory as readonly, mapped to a zero page, and "committing" a real physical page when a write occurs to a page for the first time. The act of asking for virtual memory and mapping it is considered allocation. Linux overcommits virtual memory. Some OS, like Windows, actually commit physical pages to back virtual memory when you ask try to map new virtual memory.

I think you know these things and it's mostly just a semantics argument, but this is the widely agreed definition.

> completely innocent patterns of speech are now being policed

No one is perfect but if someone’s telling you that a word pair like “master/slave” sucks for them to have to type, why is our response anger and resentment at the “word police” rather than compassion and understanding?

If we consider the worst fates for a race or ethnicity we often think about genocide or slavery.

Just like we could “genocide” a DB by deleting everything, it would probably suck for many to see that word normalized in a new context. It’s probably good for some words to maintain their strong visceral reactions. I’d say the fact that “slave” feels like an innocent speech pattern is actually a good reason why we should want to move away from using it outside of it’s original historical context. The word “slave” should hopefully elicit fear, sadness and contemplation. Instead it seems it generates confusion as to why anyone would feel negative emotions in response to that word. Just like swear words, they carry weight largely because they’re seldom used and are often attached to emotions. To dilute their potency seems like a mistake to me.

In any event you’re not a bad person by any stretch if you use those words innocently. But I personally would rather use a different, less charged word to describe a DB if others were so inclined to indulge me.
I support eBay's right to decide what is sold on their platform, and this is not a first amendment issue, but I feel like eBay should have a more hands-off policy, like "if you are legally allowed to buy/sell this product in your jurisdiction then we will list it". eBay should be a neutral platform.
