Reverse psychology.

It's the antidote to people not applying for positions whose job-ad is written by HR and stuffed with unreasonably large lists of "essential technologies". "Hey, this job sounds reasonable, and even if they do not expect me to know GLURAK, I am actually quite proficient in it with 5 years of experience, I will ace this."
Secret launches are not really possible in the sense that you mean.

There are 'secret' launches for the DoD but those usually get announced just a very short time before launch. So it might be a week or so before SpaceX will be like 'next week we are gone launch NRO-balbal and then not provide footage of the second stage'.

However, this was not such a case.

> we need to get beyond such limited thinking. We need to transcend our base natures

Refusing to accept the human nature as-is and always requiring some sort of "evolved new man" is one of the characteristics of the communist/socialist ideology.

Also a handy excuse when the system inevitably fails: it wasn't the system, it was the selfish people who did not implement it correctly.

> 1) separation of duty: you might not be the best department to invest surplus

But with this reasoning there is no surplus, because departments will spend their money at all cost.

> 2) cost effectiveness: if you're operating with a deficit, as is generally the case with governments these days, this money is not free, so it could effectively be cheaper to give it back and re-borrow it when you actually need it

That's totally fine, when GP said “Save the money” they didn't meant “on their own bank account”. It just means: the top management owe them this money when they'll need it later.

Anecdote: I'm currently working on a project started in emergency earlier this month, which must be done before the end of the month (because it's the end of the accounting year at this company) for this exact reason. And this project is overprices by a factor close to two, because this money really had to be spent!

I think the eventual limitations on 3rd party apps are coming. A major part of the community has used/ is using the superior 3rd party alternatives, and they need to figure out how to nullify those advantages. It is inevitable because they want that sweet advertisement money for which 3rd party apps are a barrier.

We still haven't figured out pricing to be honest. (we will release our full pricing details on Monday [0])

We chatted to (a lot of) developers/founders to figure out the right pricing structure, and everyone has a different opinion.

However: the most common thing we heard is that it's extremely unlikely to find the right pricing model on your first attempt. It's better to get something out, and iterate. You can then "grandfather" your existing customers - they continue paying the original price while you change pricing for new customers.

Happy to chat more about this if you want (you can find my email in my profile)

This is doubly ironic and amusing if you think about how Uber/Lyft were "disrupting" the existing markets. Well, market forces are at work: if Uber/Lyft provide no additional value over drivers' work (and treat drivers as disposable assets), they themselves will get "disrupted" and the drivers will get rid of them :-)

Happy to see this happening, and I wonder how this will develop.

> RMS is pretty unambiguously leftist and libertarian

FYI libertarians nowadays, especially in the US, are basically anarcho-capitalists, and considered right on the political spectrum.

> Left-libertarian[14][15][16][17][18] ideologies include anarchist schools of thought, alongside many other anti-paternalist and New Left schools of thought centered around economic egalitarianism as well as geolibertarianism, green politics, market-oriented left-libertarianism and the Steiner–Vallentyne school.[14][17][19][20][21] In the mid-20th century, right-libertarian[15][18][22][23] proponents of anarcho-capitalism and minarchism co-opted[8][24] the term libertarian to advocate laissez-faire capitalism and strong private property rights such as in land, infrastructure and natural resources.[25] The latter is the dominant form of libertarianism in the United States,[23] where it advocates civil liberties,[26] natural law,[27] free-market capitalism[28][29] and a major reversal of the modern welfare state.[30]

I think most interpretations of OOP are too specific. Interpretations are often about classes, inheritance, polymorphism and stuff like that. But the original idea of OOP was more about message passing, so that you tell an abject what you would like it to do, but have no further influence of how it performs the request (if at all).
That's interesting, it seems quite widespread.

And one per minute is wildly optimistic. I guess it would be more like 20 minutes per container, which will result in a year of offloading 24/7, which is also impossible due to low resource time of helicopter engines and airframe in general (and pilot stress too).
I am afraid you underestimate the weight of those TEUs and overestimate the capabilities of the Sikorsky CH-53 (which is what Israel has). That chopper has a max payload of 32000 lbs and a 40ft TEU has a max gross weight of 67500 lbs. Maybe you get lucky... but you'd need a lot of luck.

Also, if they find this is feasible, you don't necessarily need Israel to get a few Sikorsky choppers there, at least the Incirlik air base must have some and the Sikorsky definitely has the operational range to cross over there on its own, Iran certainly has some, the Eisenhower last I checked a few weeks ago was near Italy and surely that group has at least a few Sea Dragons...

Totally agree with you that raising the price won’t solve the problem.

I do have to disagree with you on one point: that there are people who are not corrput themselves who function well within the system. Corruption begins with good intentions. Crime begins with bad intentions. Every single act makes the complicit lose the corrupt because what a non-corrupt person would do is fight it.

Are the complicit less bad? Would they rather have it another way? Yes. Yes. Still, they are corroding every time they choose not to fight (even if it comes at great personal cost)

I wonder how this would influence autonomous taxi services.

Maybe there is a financial possibility to finance retraining of drivers while the industry shifts to autonomous rides in the future. This would ease adoption while not discarding drivers as disposable resources.
After reading the comments, I get the impression we (and by proxy, many people?) don't agree on what OO means. There's a spectrum, including "Using classes / structs", "Not pure functional programming", "inheritance / getters/setters / factories", "everything is a class".
Sounds quite similar. This one also grounded at a high tide but a higher one is coming.
A Letter to Garcia is always good: https://iblp.org/programs/daily-success/command-34-be-servan...

When war broke out between Spain and the United States, it was necessary to communicate quickly with the leader of the insurgence. Garcia was somewhere in the mountain vastness of Cuba—no one knew where. No mail or telegraph message could reach him. The President must secure his cooperation, and quickly. What to do?!

Someone said to the President, “There’s a fellow by the name of Rowan who will find Garcia for you, if anybody can.” Rowan was sent for and given a letter to be delivered to Garcia.

How “the fellow by the name of Rowan” took the letter, sealed it up in an oilskin pouch, strapped it over his heart, in four days landed by night off the coast of Cuba from an open boat, disappeared into the jungle, and in three weeks came out on the other side of the island, having traversed a hostile country on foot and delivered his letter to Garcia—are things I have no special desire now to tell in detail.

The point that I wish to make is this: McKinley gave Rowan a letter to be delivered to Garcia; Rowan took the letter and did not ask, “Where is he at?” There is a man whose form should be cast in bronze and the statue placed in every college of the land.

It is not book-learning young men need, nor instruction about this and that, but a stiffening of the vertebrae which will cause them to be loyal to a trust, to act promptly, to concentrate their energies: do the thing—“carry a message to Garcia.”

This is wrong. The JIT came from Self via Strongtalk, a variant of Smalltalk.

That's Wikipedia, but I also personally know some of the people involved in Strongtalk who later worked at Sun.

DATEV feels like a government apparatus straight from the 80ies though, I don't think that's a good example. It's slow and expensive, feels very bureaucratic.

A good example are housing coops though. They work rather efficiently, have not turned into bureaucratic monsters, and provide housing to their members at sub-market rates (at least in the larger cities), while still being profitable and usually paying ~4% as a dividend.
For an article about big boat being stuck there is sure is a lot about author's politics.
