I fully agree, but I feel you vastly underestimate the difficulty of having a team that more or less adheres to these few principles. In your average Fortune 500 corp, it's next to impossible to have it without prescribing. If scrum is just writing down common sense in a onepager, then that's actually useful stuff.

Yes, American companies also engage in surveillance; we know that to be true. For Americans, and citizens of the Five Eyes, that is a world of difference than being spied on by China. At least those citizens have aligned interests and political recourse with their states; with China, they have no such relationship.
I have no experience whatsoever with warehouses, so this is just speculation, but I suspect a big problem of these systems is they don't degrade gracefully in new situations.

So maybe the system has gives you "bonus time" if an item is out of stock so you can fetch it at a different shelf... except for a special item that needs to be stored in special conditions. So if you need to fetch the item and it's out of stock, you need to wait five minutes for a colleague to fetch more, and the system classifies it as wasted time.

From what I've gleaned in articles and the like, it's the main problem with these systems: if they encounter a problem that was accounted for, things go smoothly. If they encounter a new problem, they default to assuming the employee / contractor is at fault.

Could have returned it for a full refund within 30 days. Any reason you decided to keep it in the dead technology drawer instead?
Right, I misunderstood you and I agree with that. I suspect CSS might always have some cliquey tools like this because although it's fundamentally not too complicated, it doesn't suit all people's ways of solving problems (visually or otherwise) - they'll always reach for something that helps them abstract it some other way or patch holes in their understanding of the language.
Where? Because in my experience, the well-paying jobs are either in cities, or in the areas that are within commuting distances of the cities.

What will those places look like in 30 years? Because my experience is that while there might be one or two well-paying employers in such areas, they're bleeding talent and seem to be on the downturn compared to their heydays and competitors. I don't see a lot of those companies existing in a decade, much less 3.
Presenting scrum metrics to management is definitely not scrum. That's the opposite of scrum.
given another poster's post in this page describing their return experience, I would advice you to not a get a remarkable 2 until you can try one in person no matter what people say.
If you aren't following the Scrum practices, then you aren't doing Scrum. For better or worse.

It's like baking a cake without adding sugar; it's not really a cake anymore.

Sometimes teams don't understand practices and will discard them.

As an example - retrospectives. I've worked on teams where we inspected and adapted our process on demand. We didn't wait till the end of a sprint.

I've managed individuals on teams where they're discarded retrospectives. They've complained to me about certain processes (not scrum ones) and when I've asked, "why didn't you raise this in the retrospective?". "We stopped them, we didn't see any value".

No doubt they weren't getting value out of them, but that doesn't mean they were doing things well and they lost opportunity to improve as a group.

For context, currently, I manage a team of 60ish without Scrum. I see Scrum as a bit dated now.

Why does the article draws parallels to consumer marketplaces? This is about Google Cloud.

20% for billing operations that likely require upfront integration work sounds steep. Will GCP only lower the fees or catch up to other comparable marketplaces that provide much more value in selling listed partners through marketing campaigns and their sales teams?
So, no. But anything can be released to the public domain, or under a liberal license, anytime, and there is no central registry to consult whether this has happened.

> or something like what happened against the Japanese.

By the time the nukes were dropped, the 60 or so largest cities in Japan had been decimated by bombing (Kyoto was famously spared largely because of the sympathies of a single officer). When Tokyo was firebombed over 100k civilians were burned alive in a single night, the overwhelming majority of them women, children, and old men.

Justified as it may have been, we shouldn't promote a mythology that WW2 was a clean and narrowly targeted campaign by the allies.

There's an excellent documentary by Errol Morris named The Fog of War that has McNamara's very frank commentary on these issues. You also can find some letters Churchill wrote where he was engaging with these questions, such as asking himself if the fire bombing was morally much different from the use of chemical agents during WW1.

Any sort of pre-emptive strike by the US vs the USSR would have been similarly ugly, with very real human cost to ordinary people with no agency in the situation.
> The author takes those assertions and suggests that online advertising is not as valuable as we currently believe it to be (and its value may be approaching $0),

This is probably true for ad-networks (pure ad arbitrage) but keywords (Colleges), sponsored products like AMZ/Walmart, and other verticals will always have a market value because the returns are decisively measurable.

And there was no other major event that happened? We don't know if this is home insurance or auto insurance or health insurance or even something like marine vessel insurance. You didn't file a claim at all? Didn't get in an accident? Purchased a new/second home or vehicle? Changed jobs? Are you part of a program like DriveWise that monitors your driving habits? Had a recent medical procedure done? I think it awfully pre-mature to just assume that getting and cancelling a credit card would be the cause of this change.

EDIT: Heck, if 8% is a $400 increase, where do you live? Have you been affected by any recent natural disaster events? Have you added anything or changed your coverage at all?
Strike while the iron is hot I guess, but not sure why you you are being such an ass in your copy, it's kind of a turn off, even if it is super cheap.

Maybe it's a trend where if something is super cheap people tend to write in that style, but it kind of erodes trust, unless this is supposed to be a joke site, but the fact that I don't know really hurts your chance to actually get users to want to give you their email or money.

Nothing against being edgy or sweary or whatever, I like it normally, but not when you are trying to sell something on the Internet when you don't have some trust anchor that makes me ignore it like a big name brand.

- You can have an always-on debugger while still factoring common code out of varying data. Subtext does this.

- You can give things names after you create them instead of before, and it's not clear that argument names are necessarily either necessary or sufficient for code reuse. Subtext makes it easy to change argument names whenever you want.

- It's reasonable to describe Subtext as a programming-by-example environment, and it does support nesting—in fact, it's rather pervasively nested. An alternative approach is to solve your problems without hierarchical, nested structures. SQL and co-dfns are two interesting directions there. I wrote an overview of this kind of thing five years ago: http://canonical.org/~kragen/memory-models/
> That's the gulf the GP was referring to; not from which people happen to use them, but from how they think about coding.

I'm calling out an implicit bias that always comes up in discussions like these and I see lurking behind this sentiment, because these two things are inextricably related, not an accidental correlation.

They think better in this paradigm because its a better suited paradigm to their actual work, and it fits better with things they understand already because of their experiences and knowledge.

When we prioritize the "thought patterns" of professional programmers we forget this, and then we lament the lack of understanding for our field from people outside of it. Our solutions, when we look at it this way (with a stark divide between "programmers" and "non-programmers"), end up demanding that they come to our understanding instead of us to theirs. And that's basically always doomed to fail.

This is important.
Well that's extremely odd, I will look into that right now.

Of course you can get rich by buying dollars. Ever seen a street money changer? It's big business in places like Iraq, Argentina, and other places where dollars are desired. You can make a cut out of every dollar you sell for less desirable local currency, and then another cut when you use the less desirable currency to buy dollars from people who need local currency. Does that mean dollars are an investment?

There are certainly influencers as well influencing you to start FOREX trading changing dollars back and forth to get rich, or leveraging dollar exchanges in a zero sum game attempt to strike it big. This blog boasts a man made $6M trading USD and NZD [1].

You use circular logic that bitcoin is an investment because it is a pyramid scheme which is by your definition an investment. Then you say dollars are not an investment because "everybody knows you can't make money off dollars" (which is patently false.)

Some people may view bitcoin as an investment. Some people may view dollars as an investment. There is no requirement it be treated as one. Again the bitcoin whitepaper, and open implementation of it which you can readily acquire the source code to, makes no promises of returns, stability in exchange rate, or appreciation. Any pyramid scheme is the fault of some swindlers who could create a pyramid scheme in any number of currencies -- not "Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System." You seem bitter at bitcoin because you chose to take the word of swindlers rather than the actual white paper and public implementation which made no such promise of profits.

Speaking of weird things happening on Facebook…
I see a lot of official artist pages (usually artists who have been pretty successful a few years ago but no longer are, mostly rappers for some reason) that post A LOT of random “memes” (mostly just stuff stolen from Reddit) that are completely unrelated to their work, usually with very clickbaity captions (tag a friend etc). When you go on their page it doesn’t show up. Most comments seem to be from 2nd world countries (like my own).

You're going to have to clarify what you're talking about. These claims I've tended to find actually confuse several issues and misconstrue reality, intentionally or unintentionally.

For example, the US has the FISA courts with all that entails (eg National Security Letters, pen registers). There is a legal framework for this whether you like it or not. My personal view is that the whole FISA system is overreach open to abuse that lacks transparency. But at least Federal judges are still involved in the process.

Or are you talking about something else? Something extrajudicial perhaps?

For example, countries (including the US) use allied intelligence agencies as an end run around their own laws. The NSA has certain restrictions on spying on US citizens that, say, Germany or Israel do not. So the NSA can get counterparts to do their dirty work and in turn the NSA does their dirty work.

Is that what you mean? If so, what's the relevance here? If not, then what?

"how much trust can we place"

If we really cared about trust, we would mandate that all national infrustructure be open source and, at a minimum, independantly security reviwed, and written in a safe language.

This comes across just political posturing as usual.
It's not. It shows that, at best, the author has a huge bias. It also shows that he was previously actively malicious, doing something that is considered disgraceful among scientist (misinterpreting the facts to "support" his arguments). Given that knowledge, no editor should print an "opinion" of his without the text of the disclaimer bigger than the opinion itself. Anything else is active misinformation.
Call me crazy but the funny pricing page and copy is what convinces me to throw some money at this site.
I can't speak for Shopify, but in general you want teams that don't need anyone to tell them what to deliver and when because they can be trusted to figure that out for themselves and make a good call. That can't be done without having customer representation on the team (which you should anyway), and having engineers capable of taking a customer viewpoint. That is what "self-organising" should mean, but few organisations are mature enough to transition to it.

If you're in a situation where you need to show you're "spending their budget on high value features" that's a low-trust feature factory being treated as a cost centre by a remote client, not a value-producing unit setting its own terms.
> Since code is a lot more complex than written human language, expressing intent can be very difficult.

Isn’t that the other way around? Natural language remains an unsolved problem, and formal verification of software is pretty much a requirement for compilers. Your example is evidence of that: intent in natural language is easy to distort and hard to prove, thus making it much more complex

The FVEY surveilliance sharing mechanism is designed explicitly to circumvent limits on domestic spying by domestic agencies. It is quite literally an institution designed to undermine the civilian interests of Five Eye countries. AU Prime Minsiter Turnbull literally admitted the reason why Huawei was banned from AU networks was because Huawei hardware made it harder to surveil on AU/FVEY citizens.

I'm not sure there's any definite way to erode trust these days, since the most polished and believable sites can (and often do) completely betray the trust they instill or profess to uphold.

Perhaps the creator is truly tired of the BS and guesses that there's an audience who also is. And for $5/yr, it costs virtually nothing to try.

The bigger question is about limits of what can be posted, policing of content, and privacy.

> The USA imports ~0% of its natural gas from Russia, >98% from Canada, all dwarfed by its exports

I somehow feel something important is not being discussed, and that is competency. Perhaps in Silicon Valley it is normal that engineers take ownership and are smart enough to figure out what is valuable and what is not, but I can assure you that in an average Fortune 500 company this is not the case. In my experience a lot of engineers in these companies don't care about engaging without customers, like to complain about a management and take little responsibility.

You need to have rules (however dumb you might find them), you even need babysitters. There's no going around that. Someone making 1/4h of what a SV engineer makes is highly likely to be less competent.
