Indeed, there's a couple of data points suggesting that when users are asked for informed consent for tracking, only around 9% agree. That was true across both the UK information commissioner's website, as well as a small commercial shop website (from memory).

It strikes me that, as you say, even "normies" don't like tracking.

I think the problem is when sleek services obfuscate how they work and users don't understand what happens.

The average "normie" doesn't realise that, by default, a cloud service provider sees all their data in the clear. They assume it's somehow private, but haven't seen behind the veil to understand how services work. And the increasing complexity of the tech stack means understanding it becomes harder and harder every day that goes by.

Define Agile/Scrum.

Oh, a few months passed?

Define Agile/Scrum again, because one of the key decision makers has moved to a different role, so we’re changing things. So what’s the new definition?

Oh, some more time passed?

More org changes! Time to change the definition of Agile/Scrum again.

Now, what was the question?

“Well if you’re doing it right, it should survive though changes of management.”

Oh ok, but tell me... when did that assumption ever hold?

This is pure capitalism: they believe that the various benefits accruing to the organisation due to the flat compensation outweighs the various costs.

This thesis could easily be correct in a VC funded company that relies upon the minds on the team, and aims to be a unicorn. It couldn’t work in a low-margin business that relies on employee body count.

It is intriguing to look at high-margin software businesses and look at revenue per employee (or profit per employee when they become mature businesses). Employee costs are often the biggest expense in tech companies (and tech startups: oxide = 23 employees at $180250 with 20MM VC invested).

Marginal profit growth of tech companies often requires little marginal increase in employee headcount/costs. The economic consequences of this are often under appreciated by many people.
Despite the description on its website, at core, there's nothing particularly geospatial about pgRouting. You don't need PostGIS, or even Postgres's built-in geo types (point, line, etc.), in order to use pgRouting.

Rather, pgRouting is a set of general graph- and path-search algorithms, exposed as procedures, that operate upon rowsets (most efficiently, upon indexed tables) of vertices and edges. You can use pgRouting to do SPARQL-like graph queries, or even full-blown network analysis, if you like.

In a previous job, I did just that: I loaded up social-network data into vertex and edge tables, and then I used pgRouting's implementation of Floyd-Warshall and Driving Distance to discover high-value potential social connections within a given relationship-weighted distance of a given user. Not as a one-time data-science thing, but as the backend of our service's matching engine, that ran every time a user refreshed their "candidate matches" page. It was pretty instantaneous.

You cannot sell Nazi memorabilia on eBay: https://www.ebay.com/help/policies/prohibited-restricted-ite...

While there is a grey area around general German WW2 artifacts, including those associated with the Nazi government, eBay explicitly disallows Nazi propaganda. It has a blanket ban on any item with a swastika that was made after 1933.

While some are going around to “point out” Mein Kampf can be bought on eBay, eBay only allows critically-annotated copies designed for scholars.
> It is one thing for libraries and bookstores to decide not to offer for borrowing or sale things that they disagree with.

Ebay is a private merchant. They can choose what to list too. Maybe this presents a copyright problem with clones, we don't know.

AT&T fiber in San Jose was GPON which is a 2.5 G down/1.25G up, split to several households (where I was, it was sixish lots per pole, but some lots had several units, and I'm not sure if the fiber to the pole was split earlier). They sell 1g/1g service on that, and it's clearly oversubscribed heavier on upload than download. 2:1 down:up is way better than most DSL ratios, and I usually saw better up than down speeds.

I'm curious how bigs were your teams? and if you were all local in the same office?

There was one place were we did daily check-in and it was okay. It wasn't formals stand-ups but an informal check-in in the morning, asking each other what's up, when we got to our shared office, right after breakfast. We were just three in the team and it was quite informal. The majority of the time there weren't the three of us in office so this really wasn't a meeting at all.
I'm just so offended that you would economically harm all the good people working at EBay due to political stances they might not even agree with. People are so reactionary these days. This is the real cancel culture.

Not that I don’t like agile or scrum, just the certification thing kind of gets in my craw since it’s so little effort and used as if it’s a big deal.
This is not a very good idea for several reasons. Naval reactors require fuel that is much more enriched than normal reactors. They also produce significantly lower electricity. The Palo Verde facility produces 3GW of electricity and cost $11B in 2019 dollars. Each of the A1B reactors generates 125 MW. Life span of the reactor is not specified, but it's predecessor the A4W had a 23 year life span. By comparison, new nuclear plants are slated to last 50-80 years.

The net cost per GWh of electricity of the naval reactor is significantly worse than commercial plants. This is to be expected, because naval reactors are built to be compact and withstand the rocking of a ship at sea. Commercial reactors can leverage the efficiency of larger scale, and are built to be much more long lasting.
I think your definition of the availability is excessively imprecise. A quick look shows lots of libraries that have the one I checked.

I'll admit I like some aspects of the internet of 20 years ago more than today's. I don't like our current world of targeted ads, SEO, overlays, scripts, autoplay videos, and a thousand trackers. But I don't think this makes me that different from today's average internet user - just different from today's average marketer. Indeed, noxious marketing-friendly/user-hostile devices existed in some form 20 years ago as well (intrusive banner ads, popups etc).
I think nearly every reasonable person agrees:

- Particular illustrations have not aged well

- The content itself nor Dr. Seuss can be accused of malice

- The offending content is not really a high risk of perpetrating future malice

- It's completely within the right of the publisher to not want to profit from these books anymore

But at no point did it seem like anyone made the point that you can't read or enjoy the book with your kids!

I think the mistake was the publisher should have just slapped a statement in the beginning, or better yet, just released them all into the public domain. Instead, it seems like they unwittingly triggered an unwritten social infrastructure we have created called "cancellation".
Modern nuclear plants (with 50+ years of safety lessons) for baseload and a mix of other sources (wind, solar, etc) sounds ideal.
Outside/above it, but he's present in Refinement meetings of multiple scrum teams (as per SAFe Agile).
I understand your desire for employees meeting more-than-basic needs, while the company equity is currently monopoly money.

Is "commitment to excellence" not a value? If one were to join Oxide but was mediocre, they would surely get fired. But on flip side, if they use their unique combination of skills & discipline, potentially at the expense of some personal sacrifice to bring a ton of value to the company, while still being full of honesty, integrity and decency, then no upside? Or is variable equity refresh the answer to this scenario?

Otherwise "Measuring people impact is hard, so nobody gets paid more" seems a bit crab mentality.

What hyperbole. The publisher decided to stop publishing a book. Ebay decided to enforce their TOS that has been in place all over. It's hardly book burning.

Edit: Also, you know there are Americans out there actually burning books like the Quran, right? No need to be outraged over slippery slope fallacious "book burning" when you could spend that energy on cases where real actual book burning has taken place.
This hypersensitivity all started at universities. Eventually those bubble-wrapped students will enter the workforce and eventually will end up in higher positions in HR or PR departments driving those decisions. No surprise there.

> Games that ask for money also have an incentive to keep that process as interesting as possible, otherwise people will also stop playing. Just because you're asking for people to spend money it doesn't mean that you can magically make a shit game.

They have an incentive to make the path where you're paying as interesting as possible, and make the path where you're not as painful/boring as possible (while dangling the idea of the interesting bits in front of you)
>But I don't believe corporations ought to be the ones making a space for that.

Something of a chicken and egg problem there.

If you want companies to stop talking about gender, you need to get the NYT to stop writing articles about how a gender ratio any lower than 50:50 in any role at a company is proof positive that the company is evil and must be destroyed.

This would require that culture, broadly, stop believing women need to have a formal job. Such cultures exist, but I feel there would be a certain amount of resistance in moving the West to such a model.

If you’re paying salary based on financial needs of the employee rather than value added, then this is also something that varies massively - the debt-free happy-go-lucky 24 year old who lives in a house share, who had college paid for by her parents has wildly different income needs to the 35 year old still paying off college debts, whilst supporting a mortgage and a family of 6.

I have been working on Exomind (https://github.com/appaquet/exomind), a personal knowledge management tool that takes the form of a unified inbox in which you can have your emails, tasks, notes and bookmarks organized into collections. I have an iOS and a web/electron client at the moment, and a simple Chrome extension for bookmarking.

Its backend, Exocore (https://github.com/appaquet/exocore), is built on top of a personal / private blockchain and is made from the ground up to be hosted in a semi-decentralized fashion on your own personal devices (your computer, raspberry pi, a cloud instance, etc.). It is written in Rust and has iOS, C and Web (WASM) clients.

It has very rough edges, but I'm using it daily to organize my life. It has also been my learning playground to improve my Rust skills over the last two years. If all goes well, I'm a few months away from some kind of tech preview.

>> what are the pros and cons of sprints

> From the company's POV, being able to change the development priorities every 2 weeks based on the new business priorities.

Or rather, from the team's PoV — to NOT change priorities for 2 weeks, to not have side channel communications, or random diversions from email or chats, and being able to focus for 2 weeks without getting carried away.

I've been in too many companies with an "inverted" org structure, dozens of managers trying to push stuff into a lone programmer (inverted pyramid). Being able to lock down the backlog, focus for 2 weeks, close the door on background requests (perfect reason "we're in the middle of the sprint"), and leave those managers to fight between themselves in the background on how to prioritize the next 2 weeks — it's a good thing.
If this were true, fission plants would be insurable in the private market. Lives lost is not the only measure of safety. Or to put it another way, if something is safe, it does not have an uninsurable liability attached to it.

All kinds of big risky endeavors are insurable. Oil rigs are insured. Other power plants are insured.

Accident liability is not the only liability: Nuclear power plants uniformly cost a multiple of their estimated decommissioning costs. This leads to pressure to keep old plants running, just to put off that particular day of reckoning. And then there is a cost of waste storage.

When there is a normal market for nuclear power, like there is for a gas turbine plant, privately insured, with future costs bonded, then let's build some nukes.

I am optimistic it will happen, but not based on current technology. Nuclear power startups are a very good thing in part because relying on the old liability shifting approach probably will not fly. These have to have really sustainable TCO.

You are not the first to think about this.

You need to consider how freaking gigantic this thing is. It literally like a huge building falling out of the sky. That scale alone makes most of these solutions silly.

Here for example NASA idea for the Saturn V: https://thespacereview.com/archive/3741a.jpg

The problem with ideas like this is that you have to develop another huge difficult large scale engineering project. That you need to maintain, update operate and so on.

And even if you do that, is this gigantic device actually more stable then just relaying on your well tested well engineered rocket engine?

On smaller vehicles you can do air capture because you can use commercial helicopters.

See RocketLab doing this currently: https://cdn4.dogonews.com/images/e97aac75-0e4b-442e-b484-a71...

Now, parachutes simply don't scale that large. It simply doesn't work.

> I just wouldn't trust my family on a rocket like this, feels very pre-mature. Like there's something missing to ensure it doesn't do a back flip at the end...per se.

Well it is pre-mature. Nobody denies this. This is the first vehicle ever to fly a Full-Flow Stage Combustion engine. Its one of the single biggest flying devices ever made by humans. It uses a re-entry procedure that has never been done before. With a combination of structure and heat shield that has never been done before. With a landing maneuver that has never been done before.

This will likely fly 100 times before humans get on it, and then only astronauts.

All that said however, there is no inherent reason why relaying on your engine and thrusters should be unstable. You can have redundancy in those systems.
Language isn't prescriptive right up until the anointed need it to change, then you'll be told what to say.
It didn't say anything about a copyright violation. Removing all the extraneous material seems like exactly why it wouldn't be a copyright violation.

For recipes, courts instead have looked at part (b) of the Copyright Act, stating, "In no case does copyright protection for an original work of authorship extend to any idea, procedure, process, system, method of operation, concept, principle, or discovery, regardless of the form in which it is described, explained, illustrated, or embodied in such work."

I don't get up and leave. Usually in most interviews at the end companies ask if you have any questions. I usually try to understand their processes and ways of working.

Usually after this, I take some time just to 'calm down' and think about it, and I usually shoot them an email saying that I appreciate the time and opportunity, but I don't think it will be a good match and wish them luck finding a better suited candidate. I had a few replies thanking me, most just don't reply and I had one (only one) insulting me and my experience and saying they only interviewed me out of pity as my experience wasn't good enough (I had more years (8) of experience in the tech stack they used than the number of years the company existed!:)) Was from a Who's Hiring thread here actually :)
Yes to both (at least for user mode code, or "problem mode" in IBM parlance. Kernel and hypervisor code is 64-bit only on newer chips). There's something like a 30% average memory savings for 32-bit code, so if your program its in 2GB, it's a win on these massive machines that'll be running 1000s of VMs at close to100% load. Nice for your caches too.
Yep. I err on the side of not censoring. However, if they're gonna stop printing a couple of books because of severe racist overtones then whatever.

But if they're banning the sale, which then leads to ownership, that's too far.
