> In my opinion, based on my needs on every project I've worked on, I've yet to use a project management software that did anything better than a simple Trello board or the like.

Author here, I totally agree with you! I love using trello but every org I've worked at eventually outgrows it and moves onto something more akin to Trello. Why do you think that is?

> My issue with project management software that's more complicated than a set of to-do lists is that they seem to be designed to make you invest in that specific product.

Definitely. As a team lead there's this natural inclination to make your sprint "perfect." I've gone down the rabbit hole of creating a strict workflow where cards have to move from status to status in a specific order. People end up overriding it and doing what they want. And at least for startups, most of the tickets we thought were important, in a few months, are totally irrelevant, thus negating all the work that was done to get those cards properly written.

I'm hoping that I can keep what makes Trello great but add just a touch more team collaboration and project managemenemt-like features to make it so teams don't eventually jump ship to something like JIRA.
no, it's not "settled science" like that. the virus must traverse a gauntlet of death before reaching your juicy mucus membranes, including dessication and all manner of external forces that will inactivate it in the meantime. it falls apart in droves outside the body. you need constant exposure to warm, moist, infected exhaust so that the virus has trillions of chances of taking hold in your respiratory system, and it likely takes millions of virus particles making it across for enough to survive the immune response gauntlet inside the body. that a few virus particles in controlled tests miraculously manage to exist for a few minutes in the air has no bearing on real-world transmission rates.

that's why a mask can work (better than distancing) in that one particular situation, but distancing is a better general mitigation.

by the way, those early "studies" on long indoor spread were conjecture-based (e.g., using models), not rigorous science, and have failed to replicate.
Wouldn't it be fragile, like diamond?
> they demoralise developers and make them want to change jobs

I kind of get what you mean but not because you made a good point.

People are demoralised because they are lazy/unmotivated and cannot perform, once they slack off, they cannot communicate out of shame. So even though it seems that they fear the status update, the culprit is the fact that they are not motivated at work or have poor work ethic.

In oder to fix this, sometimes getting a new job where you do what they like works.

Another comment mentioned things like geekbot which is text-based async stand up, you might want to try that. The key thing here is recording progress so that people can coordinate, it has nothing to do with you reporting to the manager.
I didn't come up to the number 10 because 10 * 11% is about 100%. its just a random guess about small impact measure

We know that R of covid in a naive environment is probably more than 4. So any group of measure that dont reduce it 1 is not going to be enough. There is no 1.05 in reality for covid. When you are at 1.05 it is already because of group of measures are in place
"They" and "these people" can be a reference to some shadowy unnamed cabal.

But it can just as easily be a clumsy shorthand for a disorganized preponderance of authoritative institutions and individual actors whose interests are aligned and mutually reinforcing in such a manner as to move society along a particular trajectory which is considered undesirable by the interlocutor.

There's no good ready-made term for that which can't also be taken to imply deliberate centrally managed coordination, unfortunately.
> Piracy is a kind of progressive taxation, which may shave a few percentage points off the sales of well-known artists (...), in exchange for massive benefits to the far greater number for whom exposure may lead to increased revenues.

The well-known artists didn't agree to this "exchange", so it's invalid to characterize it as such (an "exchange").

Taxation is a function of a governing body. Absent that, you do not have the appropriate kind of entity that can effect or validate a "tax".
Ivermectin Covid Study Questioned over Data Concerns
I mean, basically every trend of the past 20 years got a lot better while the military were present in Afghanistan, by definition. Internet use and smartphone use exploded during the Afghanistan war, Netflix use got much higher, social division got much worse, and asset prices got much higher. I doubt many of those had much to do with the Afghan war (except possibly the last, with low interest rates to finance government war spending inflating asset prices).
There's a hint in there that maybe "indigo" is not really a word people use.
> It's not perfectly valid if the purpose is to have a discussion that's meaningful to other people who don't have your exact set of preferences and pecadilloes.

I don't see how what other people find meaningful has any bearing at all on whether or not I want to run Linux. Remember, before everyone crawled out of the woodwork to talk about Linux in this 'fuck Windows 11' thread I only said this:

> Don't get me wrong, I have plenty to complain about in Linux too which is why I'm still on Windows

An offhand remark about not liking Linux is apparently an open invitation for every evangelical Linux desktop asshole to berate me until I give them arguments to attack.

> Saying you don't like a logo isn't a useful piece of information because for 99% of people that's not going to be a reason to use or not use a piece of software.

By that reasoning everyone talking about privacy and security in regards to their choice of Linux should shut the hell up too because the market is pretty clear it doesn't care.

This whole "blah blah blah other people blah blah blah 99% blah blah" is what I mean by performative argumentation. It isn't about my preferences, which are really all that matters when it comes to what I should choose to run, it's about putting on a show for other people, evangelising and advertising your favorite OS.
S21 ultra. Out of one place into another I know. But it's also the principle of the thing. I don't share my location data with the bare minimum, and sideload stuff. I don't see hardware good enough to go completely off-grid from Google yet so this was my compromise.

You can pirate GPL software, but not in the way the article describes: If you copy&paste or otherwise link GPL code to your commercial project and then sell that under a commercial non-GPL license, that is pirating GPL software. E.g. what Nvidia and compiler vendors like Tasking selling expensive GCC ports do.
> On the other, a tool that's too open-ended may overwhelm users with options when they should really be focusing on dev.

Author here. I agree. A big concern is I build this flexible system and a user jumps in to use it and sees a blank screen. No story section, no sprint section, no epic section. They get bewildered and end up not using it. Do you have any other thoughts on how to combat users being overwhelmed by a blank screen? I could have templates that people could "load" that would set a project up like a traditional project mgmt solution would?
Conjecture with me for a moment, friend: if given fruit X yields 100% nutrient fruits, is then selected for volume, and in the increase of size, the proportion of nutrients declines it follows, to me, that the increased volume is creating a diluting effect. To me it seems as if any increase of proportion in volume had ought to scale right alongside the proportion of nutrient values, unless that compromises the organism. This is the framework I'll be working from.

Several factors come immediately to mind, is the plant reaching a threshold wherein micronutrients are at "unity" and so uptake is reduced and thus reaches a plateau (or saturation), and so distribution into fruit is proportionally diminished as volume increases? Is there some natural law that is prohibitive, something like the square-cube law? Or are the plants locally depleting the nutrients, and then relying on natural diffusion? Is there a "long-range dependency" that is opaque? All else failing, I would suggest that it's highly probable that the nutrient disparities that are evident in these studies could reflect that maintenance of the proportion of nutrients to that of volume might leave the plants fated to death, and so our selection process is predetermined to either volume or nutrient content. Which begs the question, at what intersection do we find the highest degree of efficacy in selecting foodstuffs?

Given a plant that could expand both volume and nutrient proportionally, what would the result be? I'd conjecture rapid depletion of locally available nutrients, up to the point where diffusion and natural deposition becomes an ineffectual mode of conveyance and demands manual upkeep else the organism would be given to death.

Perhaps I'm presumptuous, I don't mind being so, I'll have to ask you to forgive me for my ignorance. I only ask for your participation in this discussion as it seems you're privileged to have a mind much more discerning and honed in this craft than mine own.
And imagine if Brock had settled for $925,000 worth of MSFT instead of cash. MSFT was $0.10 at IPO in 1986 (accounting for splits, actual price was $21 pre-split) , so he'd have had about 9.5 million shares (after all splits). If he'd kept the stock, it'd be worth $2.9 billion now. Not including any dividends.

EDIT: Also, clearly the "$60M" was not a number conjured out of thin air. That's basically Microsoft's market cap at IPO. Suppose Brock was fundamentally trying to make the point that MS's entire financial success had been built off of this deal.
And I don't think anyone would blame you as a person for making that choice, but I also wouldn't call you a highly competent developer.
The consequences for drug crimes do not matter to the people who sell them, the potential profits are too big. You can make hundreds of thousands of dollars a year selling cocaine or heroin to addicts. The consequences do not deter drug sales, the evidence being that drugs are widely available.

The profit margins are too big. Fentanyl probably has a 95-99% net profit margin, that’s why people kill each other over drugs.
Working in legacy code

Legacy code (ie any code users actually use ;) ) is the life and blood of actual value delivery. Warts and all... your life in legacy code is truly navigating the dance between paying off technical debt and delivering new features in a codebase currently serving a userbase. Doing that dance is hard, but fun and rewarding.

I think the limited specificity of their definition of COVID-19 means it is easier to detect effects for populations that have higher incidence.
I'm just a young healthy person that already beat covid, and has come into contact with confirmed positive covid cases, with no adverse effects. Also, just a young healthy person concerned about taking these vaccines becoming a condition for employment, when I have one young healthy friend experience a long term drastic adverse effect following her second shot. I also now have four people in my friends-of-friends circle, all aged 20s and 30s that are now dead following their second shots.

I already take risks in my life that are far more likely to kill me than covid, including riding motorcycles and engaging in dangerous sports. According to my own personal risk assessment for me, the vaccines are an unnecessary risk with zero upside.

I do not want other young, healthy people to be compelled into taking the vaccine risk, when the vaccines do not prevent transmission. I especially don't want children, who have no consent to these vaccines to be compelled into taking them.

I believe that the widespread vaccination of children with these specific vaccines will be considered a tragic mistake in the future. The recent FDA resignations do not inspire confidence.

Generally commercial/industrial grade equipment has an uptime measured in 9s, the only time it goes down is during scheduled maintenance. When was the last time you ordered french fries and they told you "our french frier is out" or "sorry we're not serving burgers today, the grill is down". The main failure mode for this device is in the automated nightly sterilization process.

Granted, this ice cream machine is pretty complex, it basically autoclaves itself at medium/high pressure nightly to sterilize any residual dairy mix, but it's well documented that the failures caused by the autoclaving process could be fixed with a couple of small changes. Even without these improvements, the machines could be user serviceable with better error codes. It's not completely air tight case against the manufacturer wanting more maintenance revenue, but the FTC certainly has enough evidence to go investigate further.
Private companies can discriminate against non-protected classes and you are correct political reasons or position on abortion is not a protected class. The problem is in allowing this behavior to continue by companies unchecked eventually the law will come in and start assigning new protected classes.

People have forgotten their history and why certain attributes have become protected classes for which discrimination is not allowed. This was not done due to some moral altruism by the laws and courts. These were assigned protective class status because private companies began to exclude people and eventually all or most private companies in an area started excluding people of a certain race or gender etc... This results in people not being able to participate in society. While they remain free people and the businesses have their freedom to choose it is not real freedom when you cannot participate in the society that you are part of. This is why we now have enforced protected classes.

When we do not stand up as reasonable people and participate in the process to indicate the companies we do not want them to be the moral arbiters of our lives we are effectively letting them determine who can participate in the online society and who cannot. The idea that just because of company can do something does not mean it should and does not mean that we should allow it. If we get to the point that we have to make laws to protect someone's race or sex or now what's coming is political affiliation or opinion then we as a society have failed in our duty to each other. Creating a new law and codifying the fact that people should be allowed to participate in society even with opinions that we do not like should cause everyone to take a hard look in the mirror and realize they are the problem. Whatever happened to the idea that I do not agree with what you say but I will defend your right to say it.
> So musicians shouldn’t get value when people play their music?

People will pay $$$$$ to hear the original Beatles give a live performance. They will pay $ to hear a cover band play the same music, even if the cover band is better.

Reframe the issue as recorded music being advertising for the live concert performance, where the money will be made. Many bands have already figured that out that's where the real money is these days.

HN doesn't show emojis but in his email he puts a heart after the word "love." Which seems redundant and breaks up the sentence awkwardly

I think the more salient problem is the corruptibility of the representative. If the representative's incentives are not aligned with their constituents, it matters not one whit what the constituents want or what the representative might think is actually best for that constituency.

The U.S. election system, campaign finance laws, and lobbying effectively result in a corruption machine for representatives.

Servo was never supposed to be a browser. It was a testbed for new browser tech/components, some of which got ported into Firefox. I had hopes that Servo would also be an embeddable browser engine, but not sure if that was ever a serious goal.

Servo still exists and has been spun out of Mozilla's org (https://github.com/servo/servo/). Certainly development will be slower without a dedicated, paid team behind it, but it's still alive (last merge to master was 9 days ago). And perhaps without Mozilla's direct control, it will actually end up becoming the browser you hoped it would be.
100% is impossible and was not the point I was making. The only things that is import is R is below or equal 1.

The relation between transmission and cases is not exponential as :

1. Cases can't go to infinity

2. R is variable, and actually changes a lot for plenty of reasons
