We’re about to. Just not for rabies.
Just remembered another consideration. When Ken Livingstone introduced free transport for school age children in order to remove cars from the school run, it simply meant a load more children who would have traditionally walked or cycled didn't need to because the bus was free.

Commuters were angry as anything that they couldn't get on the buses any more that were picked with children.

Societies are very different around the world and I'm not sure how much this is factored into ideas that could work really well in some places and not so much in others.
Quantum Phase Coherence. Sustaining it requires a lot of energy though.
That's kind of sad. We've created, as Kunstler calls it, The Geography of nowhere. So whereas in NYC there are lots of things to walk to, walking in a suburban area of TX is kind of a nightmare because it's scaled for cars not humans which makes walking unpleasant and sometimes dangerous.

I live in a very walkable suburban area (not in TX), but just to the east is a freeway. I'd like to cross that freeway to access some walking trails that go along a creek, but it's just so unpleasant walking over the freeway overpass (and dangerous as drivers don't seem to be expecting people walking there even though there are walk signals) that I find I never walk in that direction anymore.

As mentioned in the article, Kansas City has had free public transit for a bit now. The HN crowd may find it amusing that the transit authority partially made up the budget difference by cutting non-essential management.

>How can Software Engineers call themselves engineers

I always wondered the same thing, even now, az a so-called Lead Software Engineer. Frankly I call myself a programmer and that's it, maybe a "manager of sorts" now that I'm a "lead". I don't want to assume what others are doing, maybe engineering level work, but I'm rather an overpriced jack of all trades myself, who happened to have a nicely paying trade as a hobby, and an agreeable personality to sell it.

Architect is another glorified software position. Millenia of architects pushing the limits of human technology, often bearing huge responsibility for their plans, just so that later I can come in, advise my client to use the AWS vendor lock-in vehicle, and call myself an architect.

I think the author actually nails the primary reason in an aside:

"As though that were not bad enough, in some organizations there's a separate compounding problem: limited resources. For an organization, attention resources are {time, money, staffing}. In that case you get to layer on the negotiation for resources among competing teams within an organization."

While I think the other points are valid, this process of resource allocation alone probably explains most of the problem. As an organization grows, its resources grow proportionally, but the communication required to allocate those resources grows non-linearly. The overhead needed to get $50K from each of two people is more than twice that needed to get $100K from one person. Add in the other issues raised, and this core problem is exacerbated even further.

It's not just novices. Humans are just error prone and make mistakes. Processes to help prevent those mistakes from making material impact on the business are critical to making it sustainable. Honestly though, these processes, if done well can improve velocity of the organization. For example having a comprehensive set of precommit tests may enable your team to continuously ship from head every day. An alternative process to achieve the same effect may only allow shipping once every 3 months. This sort of thing applies to non-technical processes as well.
To put it more simply, one reading implies special heart—to-heart telepathy and the other implies normal physiological responses in a shared space.

We don't disagree on all the factors leading up to Galileo's prosecution. But we should be careful judging why he was rude to the establishment. AFAIK it had all to do with the orthodoxy, not personal ongoing grudge. It's the same visceral rejection we have for obviously wrong/broken processes. The papacy around this time was in the throes of more urgent & existential problems, and so reaching for the huge mallet to kill Galileo once and for all made the most sense. Scientific consensus was that hammer.

That aside, individual priest carried out their experiments, not in the name of the Church. The Church had already leaned towards scholarship by this time (post-Bologna) and being the dominant component of all European cultures, it only made sense that it would attract people with interests in science and experiments. (By the time we had scientist-priests people didn't know why they were Christians, to begin with.) This is discounting roles in Church or its bodies—usually monasteries—that required a vow to dumbness.
Humans don't spread rabies. Because the main aim of vaccination programs is to prevent spread in a population, not necessarily prevent disease in individuals, it's much more effective to vaccinate pets and other animals that can spread the disease through bites. In some places, they've even been able to vaccinate wild animals with vaccine-laced bait[1].

The US completely botched testing: insisted of creating its own test which didn't work, wouldn't test most people and didn't scale testing capacity. I feel very sorry for those which had COVID and have sequelae and no way to prove they were sick. Sweden did something similar.

Verification isn't hard if you don't completely fuck up. There are countries in Europe which don't have the medical capabilities of the US and they were able to get this right.

Mailing dry ice without following proper procedures as you describe can result in you being fined or arrested by the postal service, especially if your unlabeled dry ice injures a postal worker.

As I understand it, ES and CQRS are somewhat orthogonal concepts (although they are indeed often used together). It's perfectly legitimate to implement CQRS without using event sourcing at all.

The only thing CQRS dictates is that a system's read models are separate from its write models.

Everybody I know who has a Bahncard 100 uses it for commuting. While they generally live "close" to a train station they need public transport on both ends of the journey and buy additional tickets, e.g. another ~60€/month for a Berlin ticket.
As a dev who has spent a few years in a product role, Scrum has its place. Mostly to get people used to being in a formal process instead of cowboy coding. But almost all teams mature away from Scrum to Kanban or something else. Scrum is a starting point, not a goal.

As a product owner, I find Scrum to be limiting. It does not empower me, it restricts me. We can't just tell a talented dev to go figure something out, we need to break it up into the right sized pieces and fit it onto a board. That does not give me "something to do", it actually burdens me with micromanagement. I just want to lay out what needs done, then let the engineers do it.

In that, you are correct - Scrum does not fulfill the main goal of product management, of building the right product. It does make the dev process more predictable. But I've never known a good product person who care more about the predictability of the dev team than they do about the quality of the product. Standard cliché here - be careful what you measure, as that it what you will improve.

So yes, Kanban is better. I can lay out details, devs can work it, and it takes the time it takes. Maybe Scrum does give better charts and graphs to our leaders. But we get things done. We research what needs researched with freedom to find the right solution... not just a solution that fit into the timebox on a Jira card.
Good read, the citations are also good. The long story of why we can't have nice things, and why shower thoughts on reforming the system are doomed.

This kind of thing makes me worried about my parents, who have been getting bats in their house for years. Never any known bites, but I've heard you can be bit in your sleep and not notice. Recently my dad hunted down a gap where they might have been getting into their master bathroom from the attic and sealed it, so hopefully they are less likely to have them in their bedroom from now on.

I see a detrimental incentive here. Let me explain, and then someone please show me what I'm not getting.

We're trying to incentivize public over private transit because the former emits less carbon (in general).

However, public transit still costs carbon, so taking less trips total seems to be better for the environment (the "reduce" part of "reduce, reuse, recycle" - kind of). If the marginal cost to a public transit user per trip is zero, then that incentivizes taking small, useless trips (e.g. "I could wait until the weekend to pick up a few small groceries, but transit is free, so why not go now").

Wouldn't it be better to add a *small" fee per trip, e.g. 1 EUR (much smaller than private transit), to incentivize people to make fewer trips in the first place?
Italy does this and I've always wondered how much they must lose over it. Even as a tourist, every time I saw a ticket agent get on the bus/tram, a good number of people would instantly get off.

I do like the system better, it's faster in every way. But lost fares would definitely be a concern.

Also not sure how that has anything to do with making public transit free honestly.
And yet Marketplace has amazingly poor UX and only has traction because it fills a niche of classifieds with RL identity.

Really? That's what you get after reading this?

> "This kind of vertiginous horror in the face of a seemingly cruel and infinite supply chain is reflected on a larger and more academic scale in the recent rise of critical logistics and supply chain studies. “If the corporate goal is to build a supply chain so seamless that its existence barely registers with consumers, such researchers seek to turn this process inside out, exposing the human and environmental costs obscured by slick design and packaging,” writes Jackie Brown in her recent essay surveying the field of supply studies. From mapping projects that follow the chemical, digital, material and labor inputs used in an Amazon Echo device upstream to their points of origin to genealogies of logistics that trace out the links between globalized production to militarization and collective violence, these projects seek to chart out small parts of a system so complex and flexible that it’s impossible for any individual to grasp.

> [...] people are driven to distraction trying to reverse-engineer a system that is purposely obscured, piecing together clues to see who’s behind the curtain and how we’re being screwed. This mode of paranoid reading, the “highly compelling tracing-and-exposure project” as Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick describes in her famous essay, is a “position of terrible alertness,” of trying to uncover hidden connections and cruelty whose existence are assumed, if unseen. Emily Apter describes this paranoid orientation to logistics and globalization as “oneworldness,” referring to “a delirious aesthetics of systematicity; to the match between cognition and globalism that is held in place by the paranoid premise that ‘everything is connected.’”"

In summary: today's obscured global capitalist production system mangles many of the working class' minds and bodies (in the global south especially: hence the focus on supply chains, since they go on past the borders of our daily lives and the communities in which we live; into the horizon), creating an extremely uncomfortable, fear-inducing unavoidable sense of culpability (even though of course as working class people we're all stuck inside this capitalist hellhole) in the minds of global north knowledge workers.

I'm relieved to know that others share this feeling.

If you're looking to work with small businesses, my advice would be to focus on the solution of what a website solves vs just a straight up website. At the end of the day, small business owners ultimately want to grow their business and see you as a potential option to achieve that along with a website made by a site builder.

This isn't an argument in favor of scientific consensus. There's no straight path between expensive, collaborative research/science and scientific consensus. If anything the units of science have moved from individuals to teams acting as a body. But this isn't scientific consensus.

Using the latest (2019) marriage rate of 6.1% along with the historical rates since 1900[0], the rate of marriage per 1000 Americans is the lowest ever measured.

The interesting question in my mind is what, if any, long-term impact could this have on mortality considering the rate of death for adults 25 and older who are married is significantly less (779.6 per 100k) than those never married (1,443.6 per 100k), widowed (1,656.9 per 100k), and divorced (1,363.8 per 100k)[1].

This story was interesting to me because growing up rabies was always something we kind of worried about as kids; it seemed like something that was common and to worry about. I distinctly remember people talking about how fatal it was if you weren't treated, and how horrible the treatment was. I remember people talking about needing multiple injections from large needles to your abdomen.

By the time I was a teen I learned that rabies was rare, but this story helped illustrate how rare it actually is, in my home state nonetheless!
I often speculate that this is associated with the rise of video content. So much information on YouTube is encrusted with the personality and brand of the presenter that I wonder if this verbal, story-oriented mode of presentation hasn't spilled over and become the default for general text channels as well.

I'm not sure if there's anything 95% of developers are on the same page about.

From what I've seen, every company has a different idea of what _best practices_ are. Generally comes down to what some influential developer likes.
It takes some effort, but you can have it (mostly) both ways. I live in a little rural town (Hillsborough, NC) that has farms in the woods and a great tiny downtown with several really good restaurants, pubs, and even a tiny art scene and it's only 15 minutes away from Duke/Durham, NC with tons of great dining, shopping, events and so on.

I'm sure there are plenty of other situations like this, nice semi-rural/rural towns on the edge of a metro and all it's services.

Sucking dick and wearing a mask!

Have you got your second booster shot yet? I let the doctor plow me in the ass and I already have THREE boosters.

Disagreed!

Private individuals are becoming less and less able to afford cars in the first place (not even talking about real estate). If legislation around predatory lending schemes would be tightened, the demand for cars would decrease.

If at the same time you'd invest aggressively in actually making sure that there is enough public transportation in place (as is the case in many European countries already but not the US), then it'd help with displacing them in the background as well.

Couple that with a remote working culture, a few decades of employee pushback and quitting their jobs if they're asked to return to the office in careers where that's not necessary, better postal services and ride sharing apps, food delivery apps or a push for cooking meals at home and you'd see even more significant changes. Even more so if the road networks and infrastructure cannot support rush hour traffic with most of society living in a single shift mode, rather than morning and afternoon shifts.

In contrast, if any initiative comes out today that calls for immediate and drastic change, it will get shot down. Real change takes a lot of patience and dozens if not hundreds of compounding factors over decades.

Either that or going out into the streets with guns in hand, but that has historically worked out horribly time and time again and humanity should be past that savagery. Protests could happen, of course, since that's a bit different.

Regardless, with more initiatives to limit heavy industry, global shipping of goods that could be locally manufactured and an overall push for less consumerist lifestyles, humanity might even have a few hundred years left to kick around on this rock before the long term environmental consequences actually start becoming visible!
