We'll be able to use cryptographic signatures to prove who said what. Once people become less able to mindlessly watch video from whoever they like to believe, and have to actually start paying attention to such signatures and the reputations of the entities signing .. uh, not sure how to finish that sentence but it might be good
I hate to admit it but, In my experience, agile has brought productivity gains.

When practiced correctly what agile seeks to do is, not skip the steps you mentioned from the traditional waterfall model, but to apply them iteratively to individual feature sets in sprints, versus across the entire project.

I have seen many products fail to meet requirements and dramatically slip schedules under the waterfall approach. The project becomes too large and unwieldy, and too many assumptions are made that create dependencies for future features.

The reason I hate to admit agile's success is because it comes at a cost--namely there are frequently externalities such as lack of documentation and developer burnout.

Many agile implementations treat developers as cogs on a production line, responsible for essentially participating in automated CI/CD processes as a piece of software might be expected to do. And the relentless unending sprints can also easily take a toll.
No it does not. I just created an account at matrix.org and it worked fine. Does their client have bugs? Yes, but most chat clients have bugs. The only chat clients which have given me extra headache are WhatsApp (trying to get their web client to work and tryibg to stop them from scraping my address book), weechat (it is good but a bit non-obvious how to configure), Teams and Skype.

Edit: I forgot Google Hangouts which is very buggy and where it is almost impossible to add new contacts.
I see this point made a lot, and I'm sure it's true for a lot of people, but there are also people who did in fact hold their bitcoin for a very long time.

Well,

Haven’t we known about these side effects for a while? I don’t think it’s been a secret.
These side effects have been headline news in most western countries, have caused EU-wide official warnings about them being distributed and a bunch of western countries have made changes to vaccination schedules because of them. But sure, so very suppressed negative knowledge...
Nice plots, they seem to be svg and link directly to the appropriate github commits if to click on a particular point. I wonder if they were coded by hand or if a plotting library was involved.

As far as I know, virtually every serious medical forum, whether it's pharmaceutical companies, health ministries, WHO, groups of hospitals, universities etc are constantly researching, monitoring and reporting on side-effects and taking this very seriously. What makes you say they aren't?

Japan's health ministry just reported a 15 per million, or 0.0015% risk of inflammation when taking Pfizer. This doesn't change their policy position, which is to recommend and urge as many people as possible to get the vaccine, as the risks of contracting covid and its effects far outweigh this 0.0015% sideeffect risk.
They should care, though they probably have more leeway to drop performance for the right trade off since they are not stable yet.

FYI, when I tried to follow your link, Safari on Mac blocked your link with a warning that the certificate is invalid. Oddly, the "details" section (which helpfully cannot be cut-and-pasted) mentioned that "the website's certificate will be valid 0 days from now". I'm guessing this means there is a clock or timezone error, either on your end or my laptop. Ignore or look into at your option.

Jax is just a tool to generate XLA, which produces extremely high performance computational graphs which can map to arbitrarily fast hardware, so I'm very skeptical of the utility of the conclusions of thelink you provided (which seems to be comparing single process CPU linear algebra?)
Beta carotene is useless. Eyelid lifts, eye rolls, «snipping» corners of your monitor, frequent focus shifting (e.g. following of every tick on a ruler attached to your nose), are good for muscles, so they are recommended.
I think this is a major outcome of leasing everything you use. Everything used in the process of developing software can be SaaS based - work tracking, source code repository, deployment tools, code analysis tools, the surrounding tools if you deploy to the cloud, even code editors these days are pushing to be SaaS based.

This is akin to a software based dashboards in a cars with no buttons, dials or knobs to use and just a touch screen. You potentially have to re-acclimate yourself with how to use something much more often.

It would be good to understand what is driving this but maybe its really just an era of change for the sake of change (aka Resume Driven Development also for product mgrs, etc.) I often have to reign in developers that just want to re-write things - its fun to do a wholesale re-write but very rarely necessary and with not much actual business benefit.

I wonder if this means there are opportunities for startups to build installable software and/or build products in a way that "locks" a UI/UX for a period of time as a benefit - it would make their product stand out.

If the price for alternatives goes down in return, sure. Tax meat more heavily, subsidize vegetables and plant-based alternatives with that tax, or come up with some other clever scheme. It'll drive change a lot faster than just depending on the few who (can) care enough.

We eat, on average, too much meat as it is, and with meat the negative externalities such as deforestation are completely ignored in the price.
Whistleblowing isn't a crime though?
Can you cite a source of a US DOJ head saying the actual quote you claim they said .

I work in the industry and follow things like this and I haven't heard the US government saying they would like to charge JPM but they can't due to destabilizing the US financial system.

I'll even let you go back 5 years to find such a quote!! I don't think i've heard of this happening.
> So... do the ubiquity things work again without being tied to their 'cloud'?

Ubiquity works without their "cloud" if you install their management software on your computer (I use a VM on my server). In my experience, you don't even have to run their management software once you have the network configured. If you are paranoid, install their s/w on a VM, set up your network, and then shut down the VM. You should bring up the management VM periodically for software updates, but otherwise it runs fine.
You've suffered some pretty bad deception if you think this is somehow news only Japan is taking serious and everybody else is suppressing, yes.

Yeah. That's called capitalism. No limits on the amount of capital and what the capital owner can do with it.
I don't think I'll visit a large supermarket again more than a handful times in my lifetime. I get my groceries delivered from a company without retail outlets. It seems likely big supermarkets are doomed.

The company I use (Ocado) have started licensing their tech worldwide, and includes mostly robotic warehouses.
Why, what difference would it make? The law is that the crown (potentially) owns it, so assuming you're meaning that it's hypocritical... no not really? (Unless 'they' is 'the British people' who democratically/collectively looted and then later (or whenever it was) wrote laws?)
Yes, the three file formats I have seen used are FIT, TCX and GPX. FIT and TCX are controlled by Garmin but the documentation (and, in the case of TCX, the schema) is publicly available. I'm not sure what licence it is available under.

GPX is described on its website as being an open standard and is very widely used, both for fitness data and other applications. The purpose of GPX is to describe GPS data; by itself it is not as suitable for fitness data as FIT or TCX as things like heart rate and cadence data are not part of the standard. However, GPX can be extended.

From an open web perspective, GPX with standard extensions for other fitness-related data would probably be best, but FIT and TCX are getting ever more popular. For now, the situation is fine because it's fairly easy to convert between them. The risk is that Garmin tries to close off the TCX and FIT standards in the future.

Also interesting in this context: this recent paper [1] analyzed some of the most popular datasets and found numerous label errors in the test sets.

When I bought my then state-of-the-art Pioneer Elite Kuro 1080p non-internet-connected (there was no such thing) 50" plasma in late 2007 — I paid $5,150 — it seemed logical to have it professionally calibrated and I did so, paying $350.

FWIW the TV still works perfectly, never having required service or maintenance; the picture is still as good as what I see on the best 2021 TVs on display at Best Buy, which is why I haven't replaced it.

14 years later, what with all leading-edge TVs loaded with features including self-calibration and built-in internet connections that automatically and silently update, does it make any sense to pay a significant premium for professional adjustment of "expert/advanced" settings?
Have you tried volunteering? Service is an important component in mental health. It shows you that you can make an impact and do good for others, and there are plenty of people out there that need you to help them. It also helps you focus on something outside of yourself, which helps with perspective.

There's a few things that are a bit weird about this article.

- It uses "males" instead of "men" in the image caption. That's very "Reddit-y" and not how journalists write.

- It doesn't mention the name of the Japanese Health Minister at all.

- The only other link on the web about it is a YouTube video of a woman reading out the article verbatim (https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/news/20211204_12/).

- If you search for Moderna with any of the cited numbers Google returns nothing.

I'm reluctant to call bullshit on it, but you'd think an announcement from the health minister of G8 country would make more headlines.
But you've not stated any studies backing this up. You're just passing by like a judgmental parent.
Lack of attention span. It's the Google syndrome.
I don't smoke or drink and wear sunglasses when in bright sunshine. Hopefully it's enough. My grandfather had cataracts but this was probably cause by smoking and sunshine.
I mean synchronous retry during the same request on conflicts with concurrent operations. Async processing is usually not an option, because then you can't return the result in the current request. Also retries can fail, which needs to communicated to the user.
I've been thinking the same thing lately. When YouTube released "YouTube Red" and later YouTube Premium, there was kind of a glimmer of hope. Like finally, we can just pay and not "be the product" anymore!

But then stuff like this happens. You get just as little support as when you were ad food.

Definitely makes one want to try and find non-big-tech solutions to things.
I only wish they had some audio and video output in order to be a self-contained workstation.

Since I'm building a small cluster out of decommissioned x86 thin clients, I guess I could use the same overall blueprint to do one for these as well. In that case, the lack of video output is perfect (except for when someone wants to use the GPU for math).
>> Most of the data about costs is quite limited too. A lot of the numbers that people quote come from the 60s, specifically a project to develop software for a ground–to–air missile.

>Well that makes sense with my belief that WF aims to "deliver the system as a whole or not at all". There's no point in delivering an MVP G2A missile system that is not complete.

True! :)

Plus, the customer knew pretty much what they wanted from the start. Not much chance they watch the demo and then ask if it can be mounted to an airplane…

> To be sure, CI/CD pipelines make the fixing of bugs in the code cheap enough to simply deploy when you can. However, bugs in the specification aren't going to be cheaply fixed after deployment, and these are much more common[1] and hard to get correct than any other type of bug.

Yes, though in the agile model the idea is that the spec is just what the customer asked for two weeks ago (or whatever your sprint length is), after seeing how the program worked at that time. If there’s a misunderstanding and you correctly implemented the wrong thing, then the cost is at most the two weeks you spent on it.
So, I think some of this is the Telegraph's "Britain is best" editorial tone. The UK is actually a little on the low end for Western European countries, with about the same rate as France and Germany (note that Germany is also looking at aggressive measures). Spain, Ireland, most of the Nordics etc are more like 75%+.

But, also, when Austria started looking at aggressive measures on vaccination, their fully vaccinated rate was only about 63%; vaccination rates increased sharply when the government started talking about an unvaccinated lockdown. So there's a bit of a cause and effect thing here.
Ethics. It is routine to terminate a medical trial early when the results are so clear that you know you are harming the participants by continuing; wheather that harm is by negative effects on the treatment group, or depriving the control group of effective treatment.

Further, once you have an effective treatment, placebo controlled trials become unethical. You must compare your new treatment to the current standard of care.
Why should the government intervene? It's called competition, and Amazon is winning. Some day someone will do the same to them. The government should merely enforce a level playing field and prevent market manipulation.
I'm pretty sure peeing standing up isn't one of those things you are supposed to do. In fact, I'm happy about it since I am pretty sure I'd simply have pee down my leg. (I'm female). And I*m not sure who cares if a penis-having human stands or sits so long as they aren't peeing on my leg.

you can somewhat limit the downside just by getting your own domain and setting it up as an email. Even still using this linked to gmail is better than nothing. when things go haywire you still control me@domain.com or whatever so you just take it to another service. I did this, and then a few months felt comfortable enough to move to fastmail. recipients have no idea, it's still me@domain.com, had no problems with deliverability.

Offer a percentage of the proceeds to the finder's team. Rationally then, they would be satisfied to give the drive to their employers, because their employers are more likely (than anyone else they'd be able to find) to recover the data from a drive that is badly damaged, and to pay them a generous bonus, as agreed.

It also incentivizes the workers to keep an eye on each other to prevent the drive being smuggled out of the site.

I think humans have a point where they have to commit to a choice to see what can be added upon. Back in the days everything was a long consequential change, you can't update 1M CDs, 1M cartridges, 1M car unless you bleed.

The intantaneous, differential nature of high bandwidth web gave near full freedom. To the point you didn't even started seeing what you can build with a thing as it's already changed.

ps: another weird thing, all the engineered methodological lead to incoherent changes. They're not progressing, they're jumping from local maxima to another.. Chrome and Google Apps UX regressed wildly multiple times. It's instability as a service.
The article makes a pretty good argument about why Amazon won't replace shipping infrastructure. They are in the business of delivering on short-term consumer demand, where the supply chain can ideally be shortened to weeks or days. Owning container ships is about filling them every day for years, which is a bit of a mismatch. Never say never, though!

Actually it was the SEC rules I had some exposure to but this was a few years ago and was communicated to us via the compliance dept. What I recall is that because of the difficulty in proving intent, the rules allow very broad interpretation on the part of the SEC. The bar for proving spoofing seemed very low as, for example, the SEC does NOT have to demonstrate that you made a profit from it.

> But if the BBO isn’t really moving

That might looks suspicious sure, but there may be other factors (not reflected in the book) influencing a change of desire on my part. For example, what if I only want to buy one of GOOG or APPL and optimistically stick in a low-ball bid on each. If one gets filled, I cancel the other. I never intended for BOTH orders to be filled; is this spoofing? Or half-spoofing? This isn't a real strategy but there are lots of strategies which can look like this.

I agree the state of the order book drives a lot of the behavior of a strategy (but other factors like current position are also critical) but I've never come across a strategy that responds to volume changes far from the BBO. Not to say they don't exist - it's a secretive industry after all - but the changes at or very near the BBO clearly reflect real intent and are weighted accordingly. Quantity change far away from the action is mostly noise.
On the contrary, I see most western media continue to host 'let's hear both sides of the story' type forums on their talkshows and interviewee lists, when one side are medical experts, and the other side are frankly a bunch of idiots.

It's not much different to teaching creationism in biology class next to evolutionary theory.

In this case it's not because of some big conspiracy, but simply because this type of reporting generates clicks and views much more so than inviting a bunch of medical researchers to present tables full of data on-air.
A claim without evidence is simply hand-waving. Do you have anything of substance to add or are you just here to make empty claims?
