If you want a really wacky use of scrum, try The Rhesus Chart [0] by Charles Stross, in which (mild spoiler) ...

a bunch of newly transformed vampires use scrum to quickly figure out how to acquire lots of fresh human blood without alerting the authorities by a trail of suspicious murders.

You walk in to a home expecting to meet your friend, when you enter there is a man from the TV network there. You didn't expect him, his intention is just to watch you and your friend talk about television shows.

Maybe the analogy should be: you go to meet a local contractor, and a representative from the cable company is there to help advise on the work. Neither of you are aware that he is recording the whole conversation, and that will use that information to send you targeted junk mail.

You left out exercise. With exercise it's the best combination because you're able to choose what kind of stress to put on your body, in what quantities and you can do so safely in a controlled environment. That's a huge luxury that many people who do manual labour don't have.

My experience is puzzlingly contrary to the unanimously-shared frustration above.

I tried this with a bunch of products ripe for spamming: instapot review, nvidia 3070 review, and Apple Watch review, and the first page results were almost entirely reputable.

I also tried “huggies vs pampers pull ups” and the result is quite a good variety of forum threads, blogs, and reputable articles. “Quasar formation” leads to Wikipedia, but also academic articles and astronomy.com. “How beer is made” is even better quality.

Is most of the web junk? Have I gotten astronomically lucky in not finding it? Are these somehow the exceptions that prove the rule?

(Ironically I think my search terms caused this comment to be flagged as spam..!)
Even the examples seem hand picked.

Ő takarít is translated as he cleans.

Ő takarító is translated as she is cleaning (the correct translation here would be she's a cleaner, also ő egy takarító would be the most used way...the original sentence was clearly modified to invoke controversy).

Guess which one the Reddit example contains from the two..also it was modified on purpuse, you can see from the sentences.
It depends on what you mean by mainstream and by large company but Clojure, Elixir, and Elm are all languages that are frequently on HN and they were either personal projects or backed by small companies (<40 employees). I think Julia too.
That is so similar to what happened to me, only I had graduated December 2006. So I had 1.5 years until it went south and got laid off. Luckily I had acquired a condo in that time at the market peak, so I had a place to lay awake at night and worry about how I'd pay the mortgage.
I saw that in your article a bit :) But Yahoo Pipes for me was about relatively effortless web infrastructure for me. A self-hosted solution would only be close enough to that if it was a one-click heroku image probably, and even then that would be problematic, since my account uses their free plan already for something else. That's a big part of why I went the SaaS route with my Pipes adaption and added self-hostability only later.
We're looking to invert this equation at Transcend. All client side network emissions can be regulated in accordance with tracking consent following a block/quarantine-by-default model.

This means that any network emissions you add to your site would have to be categorized by URL or domain instead of relying on shaky special-cased integrations that can fail as soon as an API changes.
I made an account to ask this.

1. Why is there no Thunderbird for Android? It's the only project that I trust with my emails on my phone.

2. What do Android users use as an email client on their phones?

I current cannot access email on my phone. Maybe it is better this way, security wise. But if Thunderbird was available for Android I might consider using it.

I really need to give Crystal another try. It was a very good language 2-3 years ago, but it was not "production ready" and had a lot of breaking changes. I'm glad to see it reaching such a nice milestone, I'll definitely give it another try and hopefully fall in love with it again :)
I get it.

It's all explained by one simple fact: the average IQ is 100. In today's society, how many activities are there for 100 IQ people to engage in?

Are there animals to take care of? Is there land? Is there community to partake in? Are there things that need to be done by 100 IQ people?

When you build society optimizing for young people to work 8 hour days or giant factories and supply chains doing everything else, what is there for somebody at 65 to do but watch tv and wait until they die?

Young people barely even have children anymore and when they do, chances are their parents are still working, so by the time they retire, the children are 5-10 years old and playing on their own.

It's easy to blame the individuals for not joining a knitting club or whatever, but people are not built to do pointless activities, they are built to do activities that have purpose and those are not available in modern society unless you have high IQ or a talent in a specific domain.

Also one last point: moaning about other people is what people have always done, especially when you're older and you're almost certainly experiencing chronic pain of some sort. Younger people moan just as much, they just have youth and belief that things will be looking up on their side - old people have neither.
- Any health problems for anyone concerned in the first couple months (which is when it's most likely, for the mother and baby in particular, obviously) will be really, really bad, as far as making those weeks much worse than they'd otherwise be.

- If you get very unlucky (sometimes) or suck at sleep training (way, way more often) get ready for years of bad sleep, yourself. If you're good at this the dreaded "sleep zombie" stage of parenting is only ~2-3 months long, though, so no big deal in the scheme of things, and even better if you've got a spouse who isn't the kind of person to "punish" their partner any time they have to be awake by making them also be awake (lots of people truly are like this, and I think it's nuts, if you do some good trading-off with one another, then the first couple months are actually really easy and you'll only be sleep-deprived like half the time, at worst)

- If your kid is sick, at all, then sleep in those early weeks will be exceptionally terrible, as kid illnesses tend to manifest in frequent waking & crying that can't always be assuaged with milk or rocking or whatever. Even a mild illness can make those early nights damn dark, and you may have trouble figuring out what's wrong (may take shopping for a doctor to find one who won't just rudely brush you off as a newbie parent with a "colicky" baby and actually listen to you and try to figure it out)

- They can be incredibly expensive, for all kinds of reasons, including but not limited to healthcare expenses (in the US), damage (ours have done over a thousand dollars of damage to stuff around our house in some years, more if we counted the rate of wear on e.g. flooring or the cost to pay for repairs on all kinds of things that we were able to do ourselves very cheaply), education (paid directly or, more commonly, in much higher housing expenses than you'd otherwise have). Oh and as they get older, food. (clothes and toys are negligible expenses compared to the rest, unless you don't want them to be)

Basically if no-one gets sick and you take sleep training seriously, they're just expensive and everything else is barely a problem... until they get old enough to start going places on their own, and then you get a whole new set of worries :-)
This is as well my strongly held belief, and the most likely cause.

And people making the really odd responses below. They're, not saying it, but insinuating that the lab would be where there is lots of bat coronavirus? The lab is in the city of Wuhan. A city with a population of 11 million people. This isn't some rural town.

There was a lab that studied this type of coronavirus, had published papers on it. And in a country the size of the USA had an outbreak within just a few miles from that lab. Then the govt came and refused to let anyone outside investigate.

To me that leads pretty strongly that it was an accidental lab leak. And they weren't able to control the spread.

My hopeful opinion is that this leads to more stringent worldwide rules for reporting leaks, and checking of safety practices to avoid this happening again

I think it probably is their right, yes. I was responding to "nobody's forcing you to use an agent" which is technically true, but functionally you're operating at a substantial disadvantage if you do (don't).
> Overall it's a wash and you don't gain/lose for buying in a low/high interest rate environment.

You can't paint with such a broad stroke without crunching numbers - I think the better, but less satisfying answer is "it depends". It depends on the specific market and pricing dynamics (past and future), as well as on the length of the mortgage term and how high interest will go in the future - which is hard to know beforehand. Further complicating this are objective factors such as flexibility (of renting), and how much you're willing to pay for it. Buying a house is huge time-sink: expect to screen hundreds of houses and actually viewing dozens of them. Then you have to put together an offer quickly. If you're unlucky, your offer may be tied to some other buyer and the seller may ask you to write a motivating essay on why they should sell you their house - which I find insulting and time-wasting.

To GP: you need to write down actual figures and work it all out for best & worst cases - estimates are fine. When you are done, pick a path you are comfortable with.
Serious cornaviruses jumped into people probably dozens of times in the last 20 years, and caused 3 epidemics, not two.
GDPR may require active online systems to delete data in response to a stream of realtime requests, so while the availability solution is to make deletion a hard, manual process or a process controlled only by an isolated infrastructure team, as you automate GDPR deletion requests you will need to start exposing deletion APIs accessible to end users. This is why a lot of the comments about making read-only backups or offline backups are very challenging for firms to do if they are taking GDPR seriously.

Facebook tracks users across websites. This is of course still happening. I thought this is common knowledge. This is happening because both Facebook and other websites benefit from this kind of tracking.

The USA mints alone use roughly 4,400 tonnes of nickel to produce coins every year (one specific industry with one type of output in one country). Around 133 tonnes of platinum and 1,800 tonnes of gold are mined per year in total for all use globally.
New coronavirus pandemics like this are novel. Not because it's a coronavirus, but because of how highly adapted and highly transmissible it has been since it was first "discovered". Other such viral outbreaks in recent decades were not nearly as transmissible

The virus acquired the traits that made it infectious to humans either through natural selection or bio-engineering.

If it was through natural selection, then it was likely such virus was going to cause a pandemic whether it was leaked by the lab or not, since presumably there's a natural reservoir of the virus.
There were apparently already people with COVID symptoms in Italy back in December 2019. That said, China was already aware of the virus in late 2019. It's all well known.

Yea it sounds like he just didn't really beta test his FI ideas with his wife before launching, and then found out later that they have an irreconcilably different view of what life should be all about. She wanted to keep up with mythical Joneses and he didn't. Things were fine while their interests were aligned (accumulating wealth), but went south when the appearance of "falling behind" started in. I don't think anyone was wrong here (besides the infidelity)--just different world views that ended up being incompatible.

If I wasn't married with a kid, I'd be retired right now.

Substack is just a place to post writing and let people subscribe for money so it can be used to post chapters of fiction just as well as an article. I only know of one person who was posting a novel on there, and not sure if they were making a lot of money from it.

There's also tons of subreddits like r/WritingPrompts to practice or r/NoSleep to post short horror fiction. There are huge audiences on both of those. A post from NoSleep is getting made into a Steven Speilberg movie: https://variety.com/2019/film/news/spire-in-the-woods-steven...

RoyalRoad is huge though. Here's the top story from it: https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/21220/mother-of-learning authors usually get a following on RoyalRoad and then they can start a Patreon where people who donate get early chapters. Other authors go the Kindle Unlimited route where they self publish their novel on Kindle Unlimited after they've got a fanbase and plenty of people make a decent living from it.

This is all the modern version of how older authors got started: by submitting short stories to be published in anthology magazines. You have to love writing and be willing to do it for a long time before you pop off though. The way he was describing it didn't resemble that to me.

Most material they're scraping is copyrighted, and reproducing it without permissions would be prohibited save for the various "fair use" provisions.

Google would probably make a "de minimis" defense of the practice. A previous case (Kelly v. Arriba Soft Corporation 2002) allowed thumbnails in search engines as fair use, but that's not quite the same. And current interpretation seems to be pretty restrictive on what's insignificant enough (witness various music sampling cases). And while any individual result may be small, doing so on an industrial scale is probably not "a trifle" and harm can probably be demonstrated. Ultimately, it would have to be tried to tell.

They might also argue implied license. In cases like meta tags, that's probably reasonable. For straight-up scraping, it's more questionable.
Many rich people still earn a paycheck. YOu can be on payroll making 500k and have a stock portfolio worth 10mill, this is common for boomers who started investing in the 70s and 80s. A portfolio of that size will easily throw off 500k in dividends a year.

My point is that a large paycheck does not mean you are not paid wages. I get your point though, billionaires probably are not taking a salary.

> Maybe he took those FI blogs seriously and dedicated himself to reaching that goal, and he did. And then people who never tried say "he got lucky".

My problem with most of the advice from FI and FIRE blogosphere is that it essentially boils down to "be the 1% (where you live) and live frugally". It's not wrong, per se, but it isn't actionable advice for 99% of the population[1].

In particular, while anyone could be MMM, not everyone can be MMM: There simply aren't enough people who read financial advice blogs to support a significant population of such bloggers living in rural LCOL-ville. Even if there were, someone has to stock the shelves at Walmart. Shelf-stockers simply don't earn enough to retire early, unless shelf-stocker wages rise to a level that makes blog-FIRE unsustainable.

It's sort of like asking why everyone doesn't buy a rental and become landlord. Who rents the apartment then? Or do all the landlords rent apartments from each other?

[1] Perhaps it isn't a 99/1 split. Maybe it's 90/10. But it sure isn't 50/50.

> CDC and other US government officials, on the other hand, must ratchet up their criticism of China as well as WHO. I agree with you there. It's alarming that there are so few PR ramifications for China.

The US relies on Chinese manufacturing. If trade ends, the West will suffer. Consumer and industrial goods can't be built, which could incredibly damage the economy.

Manufacturing is shifting to other countries - Vietnam, India, etc. It's been driven by rising costs in China, but we're seeing an acceleration to de-risk the supply chain. TSM is being asked to build fabs in the US. Slowly, the most strategic pieces are being maneuvered.

China is building up its navy to protect itself. If they lose the South China Sea, they could be blockaded and starved of energy, resources, and food. They're building to reach parity with the US Navy or even outgun it, and they're trying to stall long enough that they can win should there be an encounter.

The US and its allies are ramping up criticism of China, and you can see it in diplomatic activity, news, and social media. The rhetoric will grow until they're ready to shift from soft negotiations to taking a hard line.

The game is being played right now.
