Agile may have started with good intentions,but was repurposed by nontechnical managers looking for a chunk of money which really belongs to the developers. Agile theory and practice does not address any concrete technical issues, but it is a hand-waving about meetings, demos, hierarchy, convoluted bureaucracy related to the tickets (cf. the Law of Triviality). I do hope that the advent of remote work and networking as opposed to corporatocracy will wipe the Agile grifters out of existence.
This is a really good question!

Basically a lot of properties that you probably can think of that could be checked for but aren't expressible in Java types system can still be expressed using types in another system. Therefore if you want something more powerful than the types your using, use more powerful types!
It turns out that we do not really need more to reach the limits of what we can check for automatically.
Presumably GP is worried that (with the company's inside information about itself) there is a strong growth opportunity, as it will turn out, and that the company might decide to reissue once it's realised that growth.

Not saying I really agree, they typically offer a premium (which is just like rolling a dividend into it) and it would seem highly unusual to have a company that seemed growth/non-growth according to whether you had inside information.

I suppose there might be examples like AMC or GameStop (not that, inside information wouldn't have helped you there!) that seemed on the outside to be dying, they absolutely should return or value to shareholders and cease operations; but actually they had ambitious plans to revitalise etc...
I guess expectations are (were) higher for written words :/
We're on the 15 minute schedule since some of my team's work is billable hours.

At this point I've automated most of the time tracking into Excel. (CTRL-SHIFT-semicolon injects the current time into the current cell)

Timecard still takes an hour of work a week because I have to fill out both Jira time and HR time separately, because they want it at different granularities... Ah well.
For static images like this Tikz is a whole lot more powerful and about as simple. Possibly slower to build, but people making mathematical images probably use Latex/Tikz already. The thing about JSXGraph is it makes dynamic interaction really easy.

I think your licensing makes Vector Graph a non-starter for many purposes, including mine (education). AGPL just isn't usable for us, and any commercially licensed thing makes it too complicated.

> I would suggest that if something is so hard to get right, then maybe it's not such a great methodology after all.

Here is the thing, though: Agile is not a methodology. That's why, whenever people get sold a methodology and complain about it, they get the answer:

> "but that wasn't real agile."

As for why it's so common for people to buy "agile" from consultancies and end up with bad results, I would argue that "agile transformation" is a market for lemons [1]. It has been so for a decade now. For the interested people, I would suggest to learn about it by yourself from non-commercial sources, and to learn what you're talking about before contracting consultants.

This is a pretty gross generalization of an entire country filled with diverse people, a significant number of whom do not match this description at all, now or before social media.

On what are you basing this? This sounds like the kind of conclusion you might draw by using social media as a measuring stick.

Not familiar with European politics but wasn’t a carbon tax one of the principal reasons for the yellow vest protests?

In the US, the vast majority are unwilling to do pretty much anything to fight climate change. ~70% oppose a $0.25/gallon gasoline tax; note that a true Pigouvian tax would be something like 20x higher than that based on the current cost of carbon removal. https://noahpinion.substack.com/p/climate-optimism-of-the-wi...

And "Reddit" is probably added to most searches on Google.
But how can you tell the difference between people following dumb advice on the internet and people intentionally manipulating the market? It isn't illegal to be an idiot.

It is pretty obvious that lots of people try to post on reddit to make their assets more valuable, but I am pretty sure that many of them are conventional investors. There is no reason for any of the old big players to not post these things on reddit, I don't see how having the power of reddit could trump having the power of reddit + the power of controlling the marketplaces. When unwanted things happens based on reddit manipulation they shut down the market, when things go as they want the market stays open, so it seems like they can't lose under the current rules.

No, it isn't. Cars can't spawn clones as they travel down a branching set of roads.

But IP Multicast can do this, which is how IPTV works on the ISP level. And multicast is basically emulated by edge distribution boxes so that the traffic moving into the ISP can be multiplied to multiple customers.

So I do wonder whether the NFT divide (between people who get it and people who don’t) might be a generational split, related to a larger societal shift away from ‘owning things’. We’ve definitely passed ‘peak thing ownership’.

For those of us old enough to have grown up with the idea of ‘buying a book’, ‘buying a toy’, ‘buying a CD’ or ‘buying a magazine’ we have a particular mental framework for ‘owning’ stuff.

But people stopped buying those things a while ago (people stopped buying toys? Not completely, but certainly some of that spend now goes on apps right?).

So for people who have grown up in a digital-subscription world, they might just have a fundamentally different mental model of ownership - one which is more compatible with NFTs as a reasonable idea than the paradigm us old ‘thing owners’ have.

Like, consider some of the things you likely have bought recently: a ‘twelve month Netflix subscription’, a ‘Steam library game’, an ‘app’… you bought those things with no expectation you could resell them later because you don’t think of those as ‘things’. And because you haven’t yet adjusted your mental model to the reality that this is what you spend your wealth on now - ephemeral digital rights you won’t be able to pass on to your kids when you’re gone.

But if you grew up digital native and the only things you’ve ever been able to buy are non transferable digital pointers to rights to use something, maybe the idea of a transferable digital rights pointer seems like a crazy innovative new idea that changes everything?

I don’t understand why anyone, even an enthusiast, would dare to touch cryptocurrency lending with a forty-nine-and-a-half-foot pole. There’s no technical measure that can force me to pay back the coins I borrowed if I don’t have them. If you wanted to enforce being paid back in the real world legal system you’d be much better served with normal lending systems, know your customers, and report them to credit authorities. And if it’s not one of those “stablecoins” you’re borrowing something that could conceivably be worth 10x more in a year; that sounds like financial suicide. What do you possibly gain from engaging with all this?

Maybe if I built a defi lending platform myself so I could take a lot of loans from my customers and then default. That’d work just fine. Otherwise, run for the hills.
In ‘95, Universal Access* offered a web fax service: you could send a fax requesting a URL and get the result by fax. Each link had an index so you could fax back a request to follow a link. Some people actually used it!

That has strong implications the company is not reporting properly to begin with.

Good question! I believe I have the solution for this, actually. I am just working out the foundations properly (I call it "Abstraction Logic"), but the basic direction of it is described at https://practal.com
This seems like a really popular technique in politics. Frame the problem in a way that makes it seem unjust regardless what the wider implications are.

Online ads and data vacuuming is often presented in a similar fashion. Your browser goes to the advertiser and requests the ad. The advertiser asks for your data. Your browser sends the data to the advertiser. And the way we frame this is that advertisers are stealing our data.

Once a system is opaque and automated enough it doesn't seem to matter how it really works. Netflix is a big entity, therefore we blame Netflix. If Netflix didn't exist then the traffic surge wouldn't exist, therefore Netflix should pay.
My two cents, over the last decade I’ve observed a hype cycle where DS type roles become more prominent than software in organizations followed by a decline.

Businesses pay for results, applying 1000 slightly different variations of the same techniques on the same dataset produces very little return. Businesses take note, don’t give raises etc and the DS team fades.

Eventually someone tries the new hot thing like Deep Nets and sees a large gain in a core business metric with relatively little effort. As every team is going through the same hype cycle DS salaries spike.

I think placing the value of baseball cards on the fact that they are made out of cardboard is mostly trying to rationalize a preconceived notion that baseball cards make sense whereas NFTs don't. But even then, similar dynamics to the one you mention also apply in the NFT world: people lose the keys to their wallets. In that sense, the NFT completely degraded. This will probably happen to many NFTs as has happened to a significant amount of bitcoins.

I've seen this dynamic play out in my small city with breweries. The wealthy class opened breweries in order to revitalize neighborhoods they had bought large amounts of property in, and they ended up making profits on the scale off $100 million. The breweries were never intended to be profitable on their own, they were only intended to be window dressing on an industrial area. It's no coincidence that the owners of the breweries have the same last names as many of the wealthiest and most influential families in the area, and it's no coincidence that some of those same names show up on a number of plantations that were here 200 years ago.

I had similar experience. Went to an art installation run by group of young lefties, and upon entering they say: “if you see any racism or sexism, you should come to us and report it”.

I was taken aback and immediately felt uncomfortable. Why did they need to say this? Do they have a problem with racism and sexism? Which would have been unusual because it was a lefty place.

The real question is does any of this stuff need to actually be said?

My view is it just provides cover for powerful people to take out their enemies based on rule interpretations and technicalities.

There is a lot of scope creep in how this has evolved over the past five years. Early in 2016 when "fake news" first started being widely worried about, the Washington Post did an expose interview of two guys in Long Beach, CA who had created a series of fake newspapers, not staffed by any real reporters or writers, where they wrote all the articles themselves under fake names, and just completely made up both the headlines and the content based on what was generating the most clicks. It largely ended up as political content because it happened to be an election year and that sold, but it was strictly made up. They made no attempt at all to even care about real events. This was very unambiguously fake news, and it wasn't uncommon for sites like this to pop up out of nowhere because it was cheap money for unscrupulous types to just feed the outrage machine and profit.

But two things happened. First, something that explicitly fake is actually pretty easy to identify in an automated fashion and thus easy to root out once you know you're looking for it. Two, Trump himself took the word after it became apparent that much of the suckers being suckered into clicking on this crap were his strongest supporters, and completely poisoned the well by calling anything and everything he didn't like "fake news" as if an actual professional reporting operation at least attempting to do real investigations and interviewing real people was equivalent to two guys in an apartment making up headlines completely from their own imaginations.

Disinformation campaigns are somewhat orthogonal to that and a thornier issue. We're conflating many things. Some are just larger troll farms that are exactly equivalent to the two guys in an apartment, but operating with professional backing and financing in a more sophisticated manner. But they're just trying to make money. Some of what they say might actually be true. They don't care and aren't trying to push any particular agenda. But they're also not trying to produce true information and do so only incidentally if they do at all. At least some of it is actual foreign intelligence services conducting psyop campaigns, which definitely do care and are trying to push a particular agenda, but it's just to sow internal discord. They don't really care about one side or another of a contentious debate and will gladly inflame the worst actors of both sides. But these are being conflated with likely sincere people and organizations who are doing some level of real investigation and actually believe what they're writing, whether or not it's accurate. These are all umbrella'd under the "disinformation" term, but they're not the same thing.

Having Covid happen destroyed all hope of cleaning this up, too. We're now in the middle of an important global event affecting nearly everyone, but about which there are little in the way of facts, and we certainly can't know with certainty what an optimal course of action as a response was or should have been. We'll never be able to observe counterfactual worlds. Many important facts will only become known years in the future, and some will never become known at all.
This is a disengenous comparison.

The overwhelming majority of people who fall from 30ft do not attempt to decelerate in the last second or so.

People who text their way into stopped traffic notwithstanding, 30mph is the kind of collision speed you see on roads where traffic moves low highway speeds. Edge cases notwithstanding (i.e. someone barreling through a red or whatever) collisions on roads where traffic moves 30-40 typically happen at speeds 10-20mph below that because people generally brake but too late to prevent a crash.
I think Scrum has sometimes its place for web agencies or the like, with external clients with deadlines and budgets.

>> Without VC funding and personal connections to insiders, no corporation will ever work with you no matter how good your product is and no matter what the price tag is.

That may be your experience, but it's not mine. Then again I said "companies" and you are referring to "corporations". I am selling to lots and lots of companies.

I'm also no longer a one-man-band - the larger the company the more they care about a lot more than just this moment - they want some assurance about support etc.

Open source used to be one of the very few ways to get a foot in the door if you didn't have personal connections to insiders. Doesn't work anymore. It's a red mark.

Exactly, you own a ledger entry. Stop saying that is like baseball cards. I can frame and hang a real baseball card on my wall because I own it and it is real. I can hang a digital frame on the wall and point it at your NFT and have the "real" thing even though I don't own it. It is simply a pyramid scheme. Some people will make a lot of money and some will lose a lot. I do see people who are so convinced that NFTs will be around 20 years from putting their entire net worth into NFTs and planning to HODL.

What store bought mustard contains sugar? I'm not aware of any, and if there are, they aren't common.

Also a little bit of sugar in mayonnaise is fine - in the US it usually relatively trace amounts to the most commonly sold ones in the Commonwealth.
You are correct, but if the service is self funded via operational fees it is better able to stand for longer - which gives a chance that whoever is harming them will be voted out and someone else will do better. Though we have ample experience in the US of long term neglect from both parties, the more you are self funded the harder it is to do that. If you are not self funded as soon as someone cuts your budget you have to cut service, but if you are self funded you can ride out those winds better. (though COVID like things will harm you no matter what)

There is no great answer here, but I still believe that self funding of operating costs is the best answer.
