> They just take what they hear as fact because they believe the source is trustworthy.

No, they take what they hear as fact if they believe the source is trustworthy. So how do we determine which sources are trustworthy? Who decides that? And how are they held accountable when they're wrong?

These are very serious questions which need to be answered before I can support any effort to filter out misinformation.

And to go back to the bomb-on-a-plane comparison, there is one key difference between that and something like election conspiracies. The person who yelled "bomb" is only penalized if they were knowingly wrong - something that's generally pretty easy to prove when it comes to bombs and fires. They aren't prevented from saying "bomb" in the first place and they aren't reprimanded until it's known that they were lying.
(1) So when where there better times in your reality? Again, I maintain that never in the history of mankind did anyone have better access to both material (books, articles), and curricula (e.g. from open courses, MIT courseware, Coursera, Udemy, etc). It's all available, it's up to you to use it.

'nations'.

It very much is, though.

>Capitalist borders only exist for the propertied class to control their capital.

Socialist borders, on the other hand, exist to keep their own people within, with minefields, guard towers, self shooting devices, etc. We tried socialism, it doesn't work, and the outcome is often dehumanizing and horrible. I suggest you visit a border museum of the former East-Germany West-Germany border.
Those are all good points, but it seems at least some of those limits are actually hard. You can have them increased but not removed. And it this case, that probably makes sense: if you could attach 10,000 policies to a user, it could be a pain in the neck for AWS to evaluate them at each action request.
Thank you and best wishes :-)
I don't think there are more than a handful of "heating vs eating" people in the Netherlands. On the contrary; poverty is positively correlated with obesity.

We do have lots of baby boomers in big houses that they heatup just for themselves. My mom has 4 times my heating bill by herself than I have with a family of four. It would solve a lot of problems if the elderly move to smaller houses and leave the bigger houses for families that need them.
Is a randomized interventional study cited in the article? If not, then nothing has been proven. And that’s not accounting for the fact that statins do a hell of a lot more than just lower cholesterol.
How long have you been in the industry?

Agile in 2021 means something different than Agile in 2002. Project Management was a different consideration 20 years ago.

Which of these do you disagree with? https://agilemanifesto.org/principles.html

I disagree with 2. Now, perhaps you disagree with 5. These were written in 2001 for problems in 2001. Now, some of these problems have been solved. Some of them are taken for granted today. However, we take them for granted in large part because a group of people got together and said, "we can do better."

I personally think it's time for another group (not the old agile luminaries but people with new ideas) to take a look at today's problems and take a fresh stab at it. Maybe it looks like "Plan-Build-Ship." But maybe it looks different.

But first, I think we need a clarifying question: What in the principles or manifesto do you disagree with?

Oh god, this perfectly describes the company I just quit. They went from using Trello, allowing us to choose what to work on, loosely setting story points and ... that was it.

Then they decided they needed the metrics on everything, so they switched to JIRA, started doing retros, setting strict points on tasks(reprimanded in retros if you messed up), using burndown charts to reprimand even more, and giving the product manager the power to dictate what I work on and in what order.

It went from being a great company to work at, to a company I ran away from. I have half a mind to send this thread over to them.
The problem is that there is always software in the long-tail distribution of popularity that isn't in the distributions official repositories due to lack of distribution's maintainers time.

I always, 100% of the time end up with software installed outside of the distribution's official repositories on my desktop systems. And right now sometimes installing it means compiling it myself, sometimes it means installing a .deb manually, sometimes it's adding a third-party repository, sometimes extracting a .tar.gz to /opt, and usually with a few lines of bash to get the binaries in PATH and .desktop files to work like any other distribution package. And often with no automatic updates nor signature checks.

I wish distributions could standardize more on their packaging formats, repository formats and filesystem hierachy, to the point where upstreams could ship their "canonical" version of the package (ideally source+binary) which could be used on mainstream distributions. This would not only help users who need software which is not on the distribution's repositories, but it would also make it easier for distributions to package software "up to their standards" for their official repositories since much of the menial work would be gone or already done upstream, once.

Right now it's the wild west. The universal solution for upstreams to ship source packages is putting the build instructions in a README and letting the user figure it out, and the universal solution for upstreams to ship binary packages is shipping a copy of the software with all its dependency tree since the only truly standard the distribution provides is "there's a Linux kernel".
You have to account for:

- all the meat and diary your child is going to consume in those 18 years

- all diapers that are going to be produced and disposed.

- all methane and CO2 you child produced on an a daily basis for those 18 years (exhaling, digesting/pooping/farting)

- concrete used for building this extra room for your child

...

just to name a few.

While also working as hard as possible to automate every task in the system and remove as many of these "stepping stones" as possible.

Semi-relatedly, I don't think a lot of people yet realize how many McDonalds went "dark" and nearly fully automated in the last two years. There are entire McDonald's now that are Delivery Only, the Delivery is outsourced to one of the providers like DoorDash and presumably the number of staff working inside the McDonalds is down to two or three people, tops.
"Renters rule" is more apt if we're talking about elections/influence of local policy; residents can vote regardless of ownership.
That's not a fault of scrum. If you can't sell the value of refactors on to product, then either you're not making your case or they aren't being reasonable. But you'd have the same problem with any process. We run kanban mostly and we get refactors and tech debt into the backlog pretty regularly. We also reject them pretty regularly when they don't see any viable business cases.

Wouldn't you rather have a token (sorry, "Note") that's worth 1.0 of itself that we can make arbitrarily more of and give out to our corporate friends any time we want?
McDonalds DID make for an awesome starting job, in my experience. I worked there as a teen and had a host of positive life experiences in that first role. I made a bunch of new friends with people my age. I got my first paycheck and it put cleanly into focus the value of money and how HARD it can be to make it if you work....at McDonalds.

Was also exposed to the workings of possibly one of the largest business machines on the planet. It's automation incarnate and kind of a beautiful thing.

> I 100% guarantee you there'd have been a significant loss of staff at schools in our area if you announced a policy that all staff & students were to come in unless actually too ill to attend. You'd have had serious problems with sick-outs among the rest. Again: schools would have been crippled due to staffing reasons.
One thing that is absolutely baffling to me is why this is a problem in the US, when there are other places in the world that simply do not have this problem.

I'm Swedish, and none of my friends with school-age kids have mentioned any problems with this. Schools were open, and only older kids (16+) did hybrid or distance learning to keep them out of school and reduce spread, because it was deemed that they were old enough to handle it, while smaller kids weren't.

But there's no hysteria anywhere, everyone just kept chugging along. I have plenty of friends' kids who got infected, but recovered. Their teachers got sick, and recovered. I have teacher friends, I don't know if anyone of them got infected, but absolutely no-one has been afraid or hysterical about the situation or thinking about quitting their job because of the pandemic.

And everyone agrees that distance learning is absolute shit for kids, and those of my friends with high-school aged kids can clearly see that it was bad for their kids.
I think I have to apologize: of course you're not sheep but very much independent thinkers if you blindly follow the right guy (TM). How stupid of me.

Perhaps. To be clear, my complaint isn't directly against you or your advice. But you asked if I heard about this concept, so I commented on what I've heard of it, and what advice I've heard that follow or are adjacent to it.
Seems like it depends on the city and state. I have symmetric gigabit backed by fiber in a suburb, and most of my friends out in the boonies have the same.

Theoretical limit is `freqency * log(energy budget / effective[0] noise floor)`, give or take a small multiplicative constant depending on how efficient your error correction is.

0: For low frequencies or (relatively) high noise, this is the actual noise floor, but for high frequencies/very low noise, the limit is that you can only send a integer number of photons, each costing some non-negligible fraction of your power budget (so the effective noise floor is (half, I think?) the power needed to send one photon per cycle).
> interactions with teachers and other faculty

Interactions, yes, but I wouldn't call those interactions socialising.

In my entire time as a child and teenager at multiple schools, I don't recall spending any time socialising with teachers and other faculty. Not once, and not even with my favourite teachers who made the most lasting impressions through their teaching, and willingness to teach me more advanced things than on the standard curriculum.

It was pretty minimal at university too. Socialising was with other students.
This is the typical response. OK what are you looking to spend? Ok for that price you can buy this one - gee thanks.

Are the worst!
UK Science Minister Launches National Space Strategy
> make retail as a bridge a self fulfilling prophecy

And what if that prophecy is not fulfilled?

What if, because you work 50 hours a week but make poverty-level wages, you can't bridge your way out?

What if, because you're considered "part-time" at three different jobs, you don't have any form of healthcare or savings (because hey, we decided for you that this isn't a "career job")?

What if you spend four years of your life being treated as disposable trash, and for some reason that has an impact on your self-esteem and work ethic?

You are looking at this from a purely individual standpoint. It is irresponsible to acknowledge that there are not systemic factors at play here. Markets are doing what markets do, and that is maximize profit, not optimize for human life.

Edit: if people tell you (as they are telling everyone!) that they're miserable in retail jobs, that they can't pay their rent, that they can't support a family, and your response is, "don't worry -- that's the system working as intended! it's supposed to be a bad job! just bridge your way out!" that is a bad response.
With cherry-picks (and thus rebase), you ask git to turn a commit into a patch, so it does just that.

I would mostly consider auto merges (which I guess are bolted on) as the main area where git itself uses diffs during resolution and even then only as a suggested resolution (you get warned and need to confirm it when validating the merge).

So no, it's blobs all the way down. Darcs and Pijul are patch based though.
My team has a rule that if your Fibonacci point estimates are within one of a given unit, you just accept that estimate with no discussion - so if I think a story is a 3, and others think 5 and 8, we’ll take the 5 and move on. I think it gives a good balance of discouraging hair splitting and surfacing cases where having more discussion is actually valuable.

Wahoo, a framework I had built, became the base for the then, new Oh My Fish.

I, myself, committed[1] it into the Oh My Fish repository, effectively replacing everything but the name. This was a huge change.

Regrettably, I didn't include a migration strategy, and ended up breaking other things down the line because of that. This and poor communication on my part, eventually led to a fallout with the other maintainer and I exited the project. So, I asked them to revert my changes or provide full attribution.

Reverting my changes would've made no sense at that point, and I realize that.

Attribution was left as "Copyright (c) 2015, Oh My Fish!". That didn't do it for me. My name was not anywhere. Ironically, my name is now almost everywhere Oh My Fish is brought up.

Filling a DMCA notice was my careless reaction to the situation. I know that I could've handled it better. I wasn't at my best.

LOL, anyone that has even read the White Paper knows that LN is first, unnecessary and second does not work and never will. Only idiots and scammers push LN as a "solution" to the problems Blockstream introduced after they hijacked the Core GitHub repo.

Putting all your money in an LN channel is the funniest (if not saddest) thing Ive every heard.
Yup. In some cities you can’t even erect a cluster of cell antennas on a roof without a public design review and here we are making the largest public policy decisions of our lifetime with absolutely no involvement from the public. In fact many people will scream at you for “not listening to the experts” if you bring this up.

The bullying, censorship, gaslighting, and straight up authoritarianism over the last year and a half has been unreal.

> I live in a 100 year old, poorly insulated house

Have you investigated if it is feasible to retrofit proper isolation? It has been fairly common here in Sweden, though I'd expect that by now most of the housing stock has good isolation. Stuff like triple layers of glass in the windows also helps a lot.
I agree.

It is interesting to speculate of what will be the end result in terms of learned behaviors. I was born without computers near me so I and I became obsessed with them as I was starting teenage years. Because of this, I can handle excessive boredom and I can find something amusing for myself without relying on someone force feeding me content they deem appropriate for me. I am not sure future adults will be able to sit still without a screen.

To be fair, my parents were about as worried as I am today, but they still purchased Pentium 120, which I promptly OC'ed and let me and my siblings to go nuts for a while until we we overboard ( I forgot the details now, but dad took PC to his shop after that incident and they couldn't just password protect it, because by then we learned how to remove password in BIOS and rely on 'keys pressed marked' trick to guess it ). It is not that different now. The face of it changed though.

Point is.. kids are kids. They don't understand addiction. Best you can do is to attempt to explain it. Even knowing that, I am still planning to severely limit phone use.
Mostly if DDG can't find something, chances are that neither can Google. We've also reached a point where the Google result pages are now ads the first half page. Fair enough that they want/need to make money, but it seems a little excessive.
1) Yes, they did. The competitiveness of minimum wage has been in decline for the better part of the last 70 years.

2) Another piece of it, speaking to your example, is that women in the workplace were much more often "second-earners" 50 years ago. This is much less true today.

(please correct me if there were more recent developments)
Minor side note: My current employer has been pushing SAFe hard (training for everyone, etc.) recently. As a result (and I do mean "as a result") about 3/4ths of the senior technical people have resigned in the last three months. This is at a "Large, non-tech enterprise" (sort of; it's an engineery chunk of the federal government).

Now back to a personal opinion: Most "software engineering" "methodologies" are intended to appear productive without actually requiring productivity. Or, as I sometimes put it, "software engineering is about making people who are fundamentally not very good at writing code look as if they were producing code." Look at the number of managers, leads, coaches, trainers, and consultants required for every methodology and compare that with the number of such "overhead" positions in, say, open-source projects. (Note: I'm not trying to start a "which is better" discussion; open-source is just a convenient example since their development techniques are transparent, unlike everyone else's.)

Further, many medium- and large-scale initiatives in large, non-tech enterprises fail spectacularly, in spite of using the then-popular methodologies. I would go further and suggest that they all fail at some point, even if they eventually deliver a usable product.

The only solid generalization I can see is that good developers can develop good software with any (or no) methodology; poor developers cannot, and most formal methodologies are built around trying to get them to do so.
"...no reward for loyalty, no reward for seniority, and with the only hope for mobility is becoming a manager..."

> Belief that ones circumstances are entirely outside of their control (even if mostly true) is a surefire way to kill the determination and motivation of even the most driven individual.

Wait, so people shouldn't believe something that is mostly true? Genuinely asking. I agree that we we shouldn't absolve people of all personal responsibility, but rhetorically the quoted statement appears to suggest people shouldn't believe things that are true.
Absolutely.

I agree completely that the current economy only serves a smaller and smaller subset of the population. Each decade that passes seems to squeeze the middle class tighter and tighter. It’s emblematic of a totally derailed system.

That said, I don’t think we should be downvoting into oblivion everyone who calls for some notion of personal responsibility and growth. You need to believe that life isn’t stacked against you to have any chance of succeeding in this word. We shouldn’t be ostracizing someone because they propose that another’s position is due to their own lack of work ethic. The truth may be somewhere in the middle between character and circumstance.
I agree with 'Nuance is dead' - it's horrible and I'm not sure how that can be fixed. I started reading Reuters to actually get information. I think CNN did themselves a big disservice by including too many opinion pieces and polemics.
