>The whole idea that you can be agile while having delivery dates for things several months in advance is a nonsense

If Agile truly rejects even the possibility of an estimation (something I'm sure many proponents will disagree with), that would be a problem with Agile and not a problem with the idea of estimation. Companies will de facto pivot away to methods that will give an estimation, even if they're 'bad Agile' and even if software engineers are unhappy about it.

Because there are more useful things to optimize for than efficiency of software delivery or what software engineers like. People really need to know when the works on their street will be done, companies and countries need to plan ahead, and so on.

Looks like the only problems you have in Gorleben are a handful of medical-grade wastes badly conditioned and a very vocal populace.

> She told me she was just buying stuff so we could eat if the shelves went empty

In my opinion the best solution to this in uncertain times is to have a decent supply of shelf-stable foods and good recipes with them before things get crazy. I try and keep at least a couple weeks of food on hand with a decent supply of shelf-stable stuff that'll last a while in emergencies. Its not a bad idea to be familiar with recipes that use mostly dry and canned foods that may only require water and a hot pot to cook. Most of the time it means we slowly cycle though meh-level canned meals once a month to keep the canned foods fresh(er), but when grocery stores go empty or you don't feel safe to go outside its pretty nice. That said, there's plenty of nice recipes where you can substitute canned chicken, canned veggies, or evaporated milk without taking too much of a hit on overall quality of the meal. On the plus side a lot of those dry food recipes often work pretty well on camping trips.
> that it's not simply an issue of pay, and there aren't enough Brits willing to do those jobs.

From what I've read (and take this with a pinch of salt) there are a lot of licensed HGV drivers in the UK who don't drive anymore, with common reasons being long, unsociable working hours, management that treat you like dirt, shitty rules around where they can park to take rest stops with substandard (typical everywhere in the UK...) facilities, and pay that hasn't risen in decades.

This, combined with not enough younger folk taking up the job, along with Brexit, has led to a shortage
The only popular social app that claims to do this is Hinge.
I think you are correct, but I also hope people still have good detectors for such underhanded tactics. I could be wrong, though.

But even if they do it, and it turns out the product is not good, customers won't come back. That's why the kolaches thing worked.

I love those kolaches, by the way, and I never got a free one. My wife introduced me to them.
Renewables are the only energy source we can afford to use in the next few years, there is no alternative to that.

We tried to make nuclear energy a thing for over 50 years, it only shows we aren't able to a) make safe use of it and b) get a solution for the waste.
Not really. The ones who are angry about this are lobbyists representing haulers.

Most people in the UK are very supportive of HGV drivers finally being paid a fair wage. It is unfortunate that political leaders side so quickly with large corporations (although not surprising in Germany, it isn't usual in the UK, the public won't take it).
Everything can be serialised as something else with various degress of difficulty, but one of the beauties of JSON was that it had support for most of the native types of javascript. It's nice not to have to write special logic to serialise / deserialise the way you want. In particular, the ability to round trip all the standard types would be really useful.
3.8B Users’ Combined Clubhouse, Facebook Data Up for Sale
SourceHut maintains actual package repositories based on standard package managers, most of which are overseen by independent contributors. The Debian packages are maintained by Denis Laxalde, who is a volunteer with no relationship to SourceHut. This approach enjoys most of the same benefits as using upstream packages does - contrast this with, for example, shipping a bunch of Docker images.

SourceHut is under heavy development and shipping multiple releases per day during busy weeks, and the workload of keeping up with it downstream is quite large. NixOS is working on it, but few other distros are brave enough to try. Once we ship 1.0 then it will make a lot more sense for distros to start maintaining their own packages for it, and their job will be made easier given that they can start by copy/pasting the interim package manifests maintained by these SourceHut-specific teams.

On the whole I would argue that I'm walking the walk here.
That's for Facebook broadly, which is a beast of a corporation that encompasses dozens of services and properties. I'm talking about instagram specifically.

those will be the first users willing to pay to opt out of ads.

The service would have to be built from the ground-up to not have a free option, it would have to be equalized across all users. Again, this is where the difficulty lies in an economy that already offers so much for free.

IF someone could pull it off, they would benefit from the gym membership effect of people keeping the subscription while barely using the service (and it's resources).

There would also be considerable savings on the engineering and sales side if you cut all adtech out of the equation and provide a simple time-series feed.

I subscribe to Netflix from my mobile ISP in India, and they've implemented it from day one. I get a message a few days ahead of the renewal every month, when the service can be cancelled before billing.

Example -

Enjoying Netflix with airtelThanks? You will be charged Rs. 499.0 for the period 31-08-2021 to 29-09-2021 in your next bill. To unsubscribe from Netflix, SMS STOP NETFLIX to 56111 within 4 day(s).

Really like this legislation simply because the cancellation ability is available pretty much every month!
It seems to me that the problem is that Haiti is in a crisis all the time. I guess that would end if everybody left, but that’s not a good answer.
>To suppose a situation in which a potential parent will exercise a perfect and unencumbered liberal choice lends unwarranted impartiality to the scientific facts. In reality, economics or politics might force that parent’s hand. A more extreme example makes the case clear: if a scientist explains nuclear technology to a bellicose despot, but leaves the ethical choice of deployment to the despot, we wouldn’t say that the scientist had acted responsibly.

Odd smells preceded this passage and I was unsure of their origin. This is where the article went fully off the rails in my reading. The author conflates the individual economic actions of parents with the collective coercion of a despot.

Next, she labels Hayek as neoliberal. It is hard to take an article seriously if it cannot distinguish between laissez-faire capitalism and neoliberalism. This is a surprisingly common inaccurate generalization. I cannot help but wonder if the author is sincere.

>Popper’s appointment to a fellowship at the Royal Society marked the demise of a powerful strand of socialist leadership in British science...

Having played her cards, one can expect to read the rest of the article as a lamentation of a lack of socialism. She delivers by pivoting immediately to climate change and identity politics.

>Many of the same scientists went on to work for fossil fuel lobbyists, casting doubt on the science of anthropogenic climate change. It doesn’t take much time on a search engine to find examples of Popperianism wielded by deniers.

Here we touch on one of my favorites. Yes, incentives matter. Are there no incentives for the climate change agenda? What is a carbon credit, if not monetized debt? Putting aside the veracity of the climate apocalypse, we should be able to agree that the climate agenda involves centralizing control over energy consumption. We are supposed to believe that incentives of petroleum companies exist, but those who would establish a new paradigm for international currency have no ulterior motives? Simply put, who exactly will be printing these carbon credits, what is their historical background and why should we trust them?

Pure nonsense. Academic socialist declares that the sciences are not yet socialist enough, while the mainstream narrative is dominated by green socialism. If critiques of lockdowns, mass vaccinations, climate apocalypse or other political goals utilize falsifiability, she concludes falsifiability is the problem. Her favored political agendas remain infallible.
Neat! Thanks for the pointer.

When set in that basic language, I guess my observation was that companies unnecessarily increase internal transaction costs by overly distancing internal buyers and sellers (which I guess in turn forwards into Managerial and Behavioural critiques and explanations, as to "why").
This Week in Security: Somebody’s Watching, Microsoft and Linux, DDoS
I think "bricked" as a term originated from flashing the firmware on mobile phones. If the firmware ended up in a non-recoverable state, the phone became as useful as a brick. It was theoretically possible to take physical intervention to pull the firmware chip out and flash it with an fpga programmer tool, but most people wouldn't have the equipment for that.
Intel ME and cellular baseband are particularly worrisome. They are essentially separate and inaccessible (outside of very restricted APIs) systems with their own CPU, running their own OS and applications with the lowest level access to all hardware.

IMO, public school should be mandatory for the children of anyone who has authority over how public schools are run (e.g., I object to Newsom, who closed the public schools, sending his children to private school), but I have no problem with anyone else choosing private school or homeschooling for their children.

I don't see how this could ever work on evolving languages, different GIT versions would produce different commits and read commits differently based on the latest C++ standard. This would potentially lead to version control bugs where different GIT versions creates different results from the same commit, that is horrible, version control needs to be 100% bug free in that regard.

The only reasonable application would be to use a language AST parser to better identify relevant text diffs, but the commits still needs to be stored as text.
Sounds like a credit card chargeback to me.

It would be more practical in many places now to use leftover "hardline" phone plugs, especially because when they are disconnected from service they are sometimes quite literally disconnected and you have much fewer concerns about bleedover into neighbors.

Speeds won't be great for that sort of ethernet-over-phone wire, especially because most landlines used awful, cheeap wires, but in some cases it is faster than powerline adaptors.

Unfortunately all the companies that produce such equipment for "phone line adaptors" sell only to the phone companies and never directly to consumers.

So many houses today have vestigial phone wires that no one is using for anything.

It does exist and could be produced. But it requires discussions, contract(s), signatures, obligations, CAPEX (and quite a lot of it), bank loans, development in the field etc.

The related question is how long the UK will survive with an SNP/SNP-Green government in Scotland and customs restrictions at the NI-GB border. For the same reason that time make an EU re-entry more likely (pro-EU sentiment skews inversely with age), the likelihood there won’t be a UK to rejoin also goes up.

> To give some context, we indeed make these "side projects" hoping to drive signups and engagements to our core projects (Mailbrew and Typefully), but we always do them with the same care of main project, focusing on utility and user experience.

Doesn't seem like it's done with the same level of care though. I checked the other projects, and although Typefully for example follows almost the exact same aggressive flyover popup thing that obstructs interaction with the background before getting that number counter to flip one more time via a sign up, it still has the "try instead" link.

FeedMage still does not. For a service that was built in 2 weeks, adding a tiny hide button shouldn't take more than 3 days.

While you're free to do whatever you see fit for your business and brand, I'm just letting you know that people pick up on this. IMO tactics and darkpatterns like this are the root of a lot of awfulness on the web (but that's another matter). To me this is really disrespectful to your company's user base and the fact that it's still (checked as I'm typing this comment) doesn't have a close option sort of proves it. Even those aggressive ads have a tiny albeit hidden "x".

I am talking about the US allowing vaccine shots to be exported to Canada, which should have been a million doses per week. Your link is about Canadians lining up at the border to be vaccinated in the US, which at best would have been in the order of a few hundred doses per week. Even if that plan went ahead, the number of American doses getting into Canadian arms would have been, approximately, a million doses a week short of expectation. If the expectation is 1 million doses and you get a thousand doses, you would be the same amount of disappointed as getting 0 doses.

Also, the decision to bar people from getting vaccinated on the other side of the border was not solely a Canadian decision. US disallowed Canadians going there to get vaccinated too. There was a very short period of time between the time Canadians started going to the US for vaccines and the time US banned this practice.

Also, your link is from July. That was right around the time vaccines became abundant in Canada and vaccination was opened to all regardless of age and health status. The disappointment was in early 2021, when Canada was still vaccinating 80+ people and US decided to vaccinate all 16+ people before allowing vaccine exports here so we can at least vaccinate people in elderly care homes.

> Canadians hoping to cross the border for the sole purpose of getting a COVID-19 vaccine will be turned away, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

Bitfinex Pays $23M ETH Fee on $100k USDt Transfer
I generally find these sort of diatribes against the market leading project management tools a little pointless. Another popular topic that also has numerous "we deserve better" articles is email.

The fact of the matter is solving those problems, while solving all the incredible long tail of corner cases, is incredibly difficult. You can theorize how things should be done and try to "rationalize" your way into some sort of ideal product, but as we've seen plenty of times, they eventually end up with a product that looks like an existing product (see Asana's evolution for example). It doesn't mean you shouldn't try, because my hunch is there's probably some sort of thing that just hasn't "clicked" yet, and the moment a product is able to do that, suddenly it'll become the most obvious way to do things. Until then companies will keep trying because it's an incredibly lucrative space, and there'll always be a new trendy system out there (Monday.com for example). But most of them end up being inferior in most ways, and superior in just 1 or 2 ways which forces the hand of larger companies to just to choose the larger one anyway.

Good luck to Dokkument in trying to get there. In this space you either die a hero or live long enough to become the villain.
I take your point and I sort of agree, but I'm really excited for how the transition to clean energy will reduce the Kremlin's influence. Even without exporting so much energy, I suspect/hope Russia's remaining economy will still be too dependent on exports to risk attacking anyone (especially considering that China et al would probably strongly oppose an attack on its most lucrative clientelle, however much it might otherwise detest them).
If the money laundering theories in this thread are correct, then could be related to that.

But also Biftinex/Tether benefit if people lock up their USDT into earning schemes rather than trying to redeem them for fiat. It reduces withdrawal pressure and allows Tether to keep the game going.

(This is assuming the common theories that Tether is unbacked/poorly backed are true. In a ponzi, managing withdrawals is paramount, and all the crypto high yield earning on stablecoins provides a way to discourage withdrawals)

I haven’t thought through the trading aspect though or why that would be subsidized. I guess it does soak up USDT as well.

Edit: a couple other facts came forward.
