This is almost certainly due to poor facilitation. That is to say, whoever is facilitating this meeting is either afraid to push back or else thinks that this is how it should be.

Convince the 6 developers that they don't need more than 30s each during the "tech only" standup. Get the facilitator to aggressively chop long discussions (clarifying questions can be fine; discussions and debates are not). At least, move long discussions to the end of the standup so that people who aren't relevant and who don't care can leave.

Initially, my team's standups (I think 4 devs at the time) would be 15-20 minutes; we're now (6 devs) down to 10-15 minutes, probably 10s more than 15s.

I can't imagine there being much value from a daily, 30-minute, whole-team meeting with multiple stakeholders. Developers should perhaps talk to specific stakeholders... but those conversations should be focused on specific stories and probably should be done in much smaller groups. Heck, it would be fine to have 30 minutes of scheduled "office hours" time where specific developers can talk to specific stakeholders about specific stories.

Bring this up in retrospective. Point out that (nominally) 12.5% of every day (and likely more than that) is being spent on these meetings. Ask about what value people see in these long meetings and if there's a better way to achieve that value. Brainstorm other approaches and get the team to commit to experimentation.

Try, you know, actually standing up. On your feet. That's where the name comes from and it's to encourage people to be brief.

Or, would they rather return to a normal appearance after surgery?

After all, the conventional implant sizes are all dual-use for both cosmetic, and cancer reconstruction.

Many women from childbirth and aging, go from having larger breasts, to small breasts, after they discontinue breast feeding. So, you could go from being a "C" to an "A", and maybe you'll have breast drooping (ptosis) or maybe not, and being very happy with your appearance, to very unhappy. And suddenly you have to buy all new bras. In a severe case of ptosis, your breasts will now be down to your belly button.

These are some of the less glamorous downsides to having children.

Apple's Snow Leopard was mainly an under-the-hood redesign and re-architecture with very few features. It's considered by many to be one of if not the best OS they've ever released.

So I understand your point and it's valid, but it's stakeholders are really a force to be managed properly, not capitulated to.

The capitulation, I suspect, comes from the imposter syndrome many managers have, who are just happy to be in that position. They haven't yet grown the spine to do what's best for the project. I don't care how many features an OS has (Windows 8). If it's buggy and unusable, it will be perceived as a bomb.
Agreed! I'm active on several SE sites and every quality answer takes me time to research, write, and edit.
The rule is not meant to attack people who make good-faith mistakes/unintended consequences. It instead is intended to stop defending people who make ill-intentioned comments and attempt to hide them as mistakes; or who refuse to back down from a mistake even after being told it was a mistake.

For example, if someone from Eastern Europe says something like "it's alright 'cause it's all white", someone from the USA who knows the history of this phrase may take offense. If the person from the USA feels that this may have been an attack, they should be free to raise this issue, and the person from Eastern Europe should apologize for making them uncomfortable, even if it was unintentional. As long as they do this, no further harm should happen to either person.

However, if the person who made the comment refuses to apologize/explain, or keeps repeating this comment since "to me it's not offensive, it's just a joke/reference" etc, then this should be considered a problem and someone with authority should intervene.

Similarly, if the person who took offense refuses to accept the mistake after an apology or explanation was given, then once again someone with authority should intervene and correct this error on this other side, as it unnecessarily creates a hostile working environment.

This is the intended reading of that line. Of course, that line can also be mis-applied by immediately punishing the person from Eastern Europe in my initial example.

Note: I used "person from Eastern Europe" in my example because that is where I am from, and because I have personally seen others around me using references to US culture without knowing the full context in just this way, without ill intent but in ways which would probably shock someone who assumes that the context is well known (for example, casually addressing peers using rap lyrics containing the infamous N-word).

Society changes and evolves. With it, we start recognising and understanding ever-smaller demographic groups.

It's just society developing empathy. Think most people understand that how we see other groups of people is not a fixed thing.

> There is also the fact that in this modern social climate, victimhood has become a valuable currency. There is incentive for people take offense where none could reasonably be presumed to have been given, and to blow minor transgressions out of proportion.

People are getting "called out" and "cancelled" more than ever, for sure. But I don't think it's necessarily victimhood. Given the original topic, it's interesting that this is how you're attributing intent. Do you feel that there might be genuine reasons for acting the way they do? Could the grievances be genuine?
yes its basically the same thing with DRM on-top.
Please tell me that this Code of Conducts are all jokes? I've developed a fragile and basic rule which I try to follow:

Don't be an asshole.

I fail sometimes following that rule and I don't deny it. I struggle to become better but keep going. Of course you could extend this by "Help others, when appropriate", "Be nice to each other", "Use common sense", "Pardon others", "Don't be a d***", "Don't be a b*****" but that follows logical and would be itself a CoC. Anyway, Captain Picard said everything:

I’ve got two step kids who play roblox/Minecraft obsessively. The network effect in playing what their friends play is super strong. That combined with as busy parent there is a reluctance to switch to anything else. They don’t want to do it because their friends don’t play it. I don’t want them to do it because I know roblox/Minecraft are reasonably safe. The idea of having to understand another platform seems exhausting.

Plus them playing Minecraft gives me an excuse to play. :)
Because the only way to get a loan is to put up collateral that is locked into a contract. And that collateral can only be extracted if you pay back the loan. So, if you value the collateral less then your debt, then, sure, walk away. But if the value of that collateral falls to less then the liquidation threshold (an amount some percentage greater then the value of your debt), your debt will be paid back by a liquidation bot and the the liquidator will take your collateral for themselves.
I'm all for being gender-neutral for the sake of neutrality, but the idea that the use of "he" somehow hurts people's safety or well-being sounds a bit absurd to me.

As financial holdings or blockchain assets they also seem speculative at best to me. I participate, however, because some digital artists are truly truly good; and they are finally seeing success/sales.

Without getting too far into it, the Mona Lisa is of undeniably high quality. But its (is saying “her” gauche?) value is certainly not just a function of quality. Cultural relevance, scarcity, etc. I like that digital artists found a way to participate in the culture and make money. This is why I buy NFTs.

It’s also the most transparent “shill” pump and dump scheme ever. :) The article is not wrong, but there ARE other motivations. Especially on PoS low-electricity blockchain technologies.

Anyway, between the two, you get the point.

(I'm not especially expert here, but figured I'd mention this because nobody else had yet.)

To me, many of these words sound like almost childish terms of endearment -- a little charming.

Anyway, this is not at all academic for someone who wants to participate in the culture, because everyone around you is going to be identified and addressed in this way, and you're going to have to know who everybody is! Even if, in your head, "chacha" is not some abstract relation, but a particular person.

This CoC just makes me feel that the Ruby community is no longer a safe space to contribute to. As a minority whose membership in one of these "protected classes" is unclear, and who can no longer be granted the benefit of the doubt / assumption of good intentions, I now find that it is safer simply to shut up and not contribute, rather than draw the ire of the community or accusations of abuse.

Scrum is a tool. It even has a tool built in to take care of these things, the retro. If you have someone on the team who is counting every point and dogmatically sitting on every metric that should be brought up in the retro as 'something that is not going well'. These tools are a way for devs to say 'here is how I am going to break this up and you have a limited amount of time so pick what you want'. The metrics are to help you realize you are doing an anti pattern. But if you force everyone to be good at them they will hide what is wrong.

One group I was in everything was a #1 priority. I had to sit the manager down in his office for a couple of hours and make him pick the priorities. It turns out he did not know what he really wanted, yet he wanted to micromanage everything. I had to show him that you have 4 devs and they can not work on 15 things at the same time 200% of the time. They have lives outside of work and you will get nothing done if they are jumping around at every whim you come up with. After that the team worked much better. I would at the start of each sprint make him pick what order he wants things in then the devs could come in and fix it up correctly.

Team management is totally on the table of 'things to work on' in scrum yet many PM's seem to forget that.

My new team has 3 15-30 min calls a day. I just joined this team so I am watching for now for a couple of sprints. But you can bet money on the fact I am bringing that up in a retro. You are distracting everyone at regular intervals and they can not get into anything because they are always prepping for your status meetings. You are leaving them basically 30% of their day to actually do anything related to the things you want status on.

A good PM who 'gets it' is great. One who strictly follows the metrics... yeah
The sample bias is social media itself. What is Facebook filled with? It changed the focus exponentially, wealthy countries tend to have more virtue signaling and programs that are luxuries, and broadcasting it.

In my team, we have a fairly strict process, it's been refined over time by the team. We change little things every sprint.

We have checklists/agendas for what to discuss and we go through them fast. We update the agendas when we need to. We don't tolerate diversions from the meeting topic for more than a couple of exchanges and anyone can ask to move the meeting on/back on-topic at any time with a funny "safe word". Our stand-ups focus on "what needs to be organised, who needs to talk to whom, what work/bugs have come in from other teams?" not "what has everyone done". Our planning is split into two or three (so it's more meetings, but they're shorter - one focuses just on bugs and is only for a subset of the team). Our sprint review is open to the entire product and engineering teams and we go to theirs. They're actual demos; the last one we did was interactive.

In my opinion, Scrum can work. It takes time to find the combination of people, agenda items and venues to get the best work done in each "ritual". If you didn't have Scrum, you'd still have to create _some_ proces to follow; you'd do most if not all the meeting functions, but perhaps at a different rhythm. The scrum system is pretty minimal and under-describe exactly because you can mould its it to fit your team. If your Scrum implementation isn't working for your team, make your Scrum master change it or take on that role. Any other mindset will cause the process to fail.

It's probably not the right process for systems which include hardware or other long-lifecycle subsystems. It's best when the whole team can focus on specific goals, and a small number of goals.

If you have multiple concurrent work streams (e.g. "epics", and you try to give chunks of work from each epic to individual developers, you'll fall into the trap of "feature farming". It's much more effective and interesting when the team is focused on a single feature and works together on it.

The backlog needs to be about the _product_ not "work to be done by the team". If you have multiple work streams/epics consider making specific, short-lived, smaller teams and splitting their stand-ups and retros out.

Keep changing it to suit your product needs and fit the teams around that.
>suing ISPs every time they don't get the expected bandwidt

this is beyond flawed, unless you consider all possible bandwidth, not just Netflix being slow. The latter can be entirely an issue on Netflix side.
That, though, is exactly how it works. Netflix pays for their traffic and infrastructure, the SK clients pay for access to internet for a given bandwidth and SK pays for the infrastructure and interconnections needed to give their clients what they paid for.

Netflix doesn't get free interconnections.
Tor Network is also encrypted and still there are ways to get the people behind. If the feature is there it will be exploited.

This isn't actually true at all. Climate problems are caused by competition between governments and their pursue for growth, which forces everyone to consume and produce more than is necessary. Under the current economic system, natural catastrophe is inevitable. Bitcoin actually fixes this, because it makes it impossible for governments to enforce growth through money supply manipulation, which they have to do to compete with each other.
This form of lifestyle pornography is not remotely new, just moved online like everything else.

I've read a lot of very well meaning, starry-eyed opinions of NFTs and to be honest, most of what is claimed is true. But it belies the pragmatic reason that NFTs are popular: mass speculation.

People have been collecting things for years, often at prices that make outsiders scratch their heads. The difference is that the current mainstream hype around NFTs has nothing to do with the true fandom of collectibles of yesteryear, where speculation is a side-effect of scarcity. Current NFT hype is rooted solely in the fact that some people are (seemingly) making money flipping NFTs.

If there was a huge market for buying digital collectibles from artists, athletes, etc pre-NFT then we would see large markets for that. It's not as if there was anything stopping A-list celebs from dropping limited availability collectibles...there just must not have been much demand for it. Gaming has seen healthy digital asset economies because there is utility to use these items in-game. But prices have remained moderated because there is (usually) no secondary market, so people are paying roughly whatever utility they gain from using the items in-game.

So whilst NFTs have potential, and I'm sure we will see some successes, the current popularity is simply down to speculation, as with pretty much everything else crypto.

It is a small leap. The balance in your bank account is also a number without a physical presence. It has value because you can convert it to physical goods. The same is true of a Bitcoin balance.

Web3 – A Vision for a Decentralized Web
There is something deeply ironic about this author's righteous indignation over "intellectual dishonesty."

Looking at the first chart offered, comparing Kentucky and Tennessee, the chart interestingly begins in December of 2020. Both states have a drop in cases beginning around January 2021, and as the cases seem to bottom out, both roll back mask mandates—albeit with Tennessee doing so first. Here's what's wildly dishonest about this:

1. Extend that chart back a year, and you'll see that Tennessee—whose governor was opposed to any statewide mandate—spent most of July/August with a 7 day average hovering around 2,000 new cases. Kentucky, where the "cowardly" governor did mandate masks, was hovering around 600. Tennessee's population is 50% larger, and yet, they were experiencing more than 3x the case count.

2. In January, when all of these graphs seem to drop, the vaccine was rolling out. These charts, if anything, do a better job of demonstrating the efficacy of vaccinations than they do of showing the ineffectiveness of masks.
