I see unions as one part of a 'bigger state' dialectic. The idea here is not that state supports corporations, but that the state supports the workers. Its all still about the government.

In fact, that 'argument' is already resolved - we are moving forward with what I think is fascism - government + corporations working together.

A state, is called the coldest of all cold monsters. Coldly lieth it also; and this lie creepeth from its mouth: "I, the state, am the people." - Nietzsche.

I prefer this as:

> If a company sets a goal of boosting user engagement, Agile is designed to get developers working single-mindedly toward that goal—not arguing with managers about whether, for example, it’s a good idea to show people content that inflames their prejudices.

Pretty sure the author mixes things up in an attempt to create a narrative.
Why Malta?

Any benefits to being incorporated/hosted there?

Pros/Cons?

Are you planning on including resource intensive media/other apps like Plex, Emby, Jellyfin, Sonarr, Radarr etc as well?

Also, I HIGHLY doubt you're "surprised" to see this posted here and elsewhere (like on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/selfhosted/comments/ulm395/pikapods...) as this all appears engineered / deliberate with your involvement - I mean, your response is literally identical - which is fine and all, but transparency is likely a better approach.

Good hustle though.

I just tried and I could read that whole thread without being logged in. Maybe twitter lets you read the whole thing if you've ever logged in with that browser?

I guess if this is actually a problem, anyone who's bothered by it, who doesn't have a twitter login could look into rewriting twitter.com links to nitter.net instead.
Do you want to support all of Windows, Linux and macOS? If so, maybe QT? If not, you have some other options. E.g. macOS has it’s own proprietary libraries you can target.
I was thinking this very thought when I read that bit. Maybe the point was more about the system of government being one that could force it's citizenry into servitude; either way I'm not so excited about the prospect.
Indeed, but in the industry, I've seen no company that embraced "agile" without embracing some predefined framework (scrum, kanban, xp) to "apply it".

I've yet to find a growing/grown company that still embrace chaos as a start to find and nurture their own agile working methods.

It's very much like how companies implement "innovation strategies", being oblivious to the fact that innovation starts with rebellion against the very structure in which it appears.

Uncertainty is not something people embrace easily.
Formula 1 is quickly getting Americanised which is a bit of a downer. If you ask me, this weekend's Miami show was pretty mad
Agile as per the Agile Manifesto isn't bad. At all.

I saw the transition of the industry from a complete waterfall process to the overhyping of agile, the pushback and now the land where agile as per the manifesto is more-or-less a given. The old ways were so much worse...

The bad sprouts from agile are the multitude of processes and bullshit methodologies that tried to ride the hype and create "The Agile Way". Scrum and others are a side-effect of this and I'm very glad to see Scrum being shunned for the past 4-6 years and instead engineers being attracted towards much more lightweight processes.

The problem with agile is that it only works when people had experiences, bad and good, and a team can tailor how their agile process should look like given their constraints. Throwing a bunch of juniors under an agile methodology and telling them what's right or not only creates friction and useless rituals, you need experienced people (PMs, EMs and at least one engineer) to cut the bullshit and stick to the points that matter: collaboration, communication, re-assessment of priorities, etc.
"bismuth" is an updated fork of Khronkite, which last I checked, was abandoned. (Just checked, and it has had some recent commits, though seemingly just compatibility updates so far).
Ermm, most phones and computers cannot be completely powered down. Either by nit-picking (CMOS clocks) or soft-switches (ACPI, soft button power-on), there's always some voltage in the system unless your PSU comes with an actual hard power switch (and even then, again, CMOS).

They consume a lot less power, but leave an 'off' phone in a drawer for a month starting at 100%, it will not be 100% when you 'turn it on'.
Hi there, kudos the app works really quite well. I wasn't able to delete any of the notes though, maybe I'm missing something?
I find the video you linked awful.

Music genres change, that's nothing new at all. Just look at the type of trance from the early 2000s and compare it to today's trance. It's a completely different sound. Would the author also complain about "progressive trance" taking over "trance"? It's natural that some sub genres might become more popular, while others lose listeners relative to the newcomers.
Same happened in techno, rap etc.

While Spotify might accelerate this process through a positive feedback loop, this video is just another form of gatekeeping and saying "I knew XYZ before it was cool".
Better be thorough with that or maybe such things make people want to bomb a high rise or two. Cynical yes, but a realistic consequence of ideas like that. The career as a lawyer didn't seem to influence Obama on this decision very much.
Yes, the sangha in natively Buddhist countries can be a rather mixed bag but that's just as true of the various churches and other religions in the West. These things are somewhat natural when you have a religion in a "popular" role.

Does this quote from the article:

> They were all working hard, that was clear, but there was a fatal flaw: no one really knew what the project was ultimately supposed to look like, or exactly what purpose it was supposed to serve.

sound like scrum though? No product owner, who would have a vision for what the product's purpose was or what it was supposed to eventually look like. No product backlog outlining a path to get to the vision. No sprint reviews with the product owner and stakeholders to inspect whether the product is on the right track. At least not that I saw in the article while quickly skimming through.

What she is describing is some techniques picked from some agile methodologies; but lacking the proper spirit of the game.

I think I'd prefer it if you were creative with the content of your posts rather than your urls :) I mean, if you think there's no value in the content of the url whatsoever, then just start at /1 and work upwards...
Isn't remembering certain short domains hard ?

I was hearing Instagram influencers say "tap the link" all the time

so bought a domain https://tapthe.link which creates a url which can take viewers directly to the app via deep linking instead of a simple redirect,

super helpful for YouTubers and marketers and it's free for creators.

tapthelink is easy to remember than say a short url which says xlps.com or something
The first model Famicom (Japanese NES) had RF output only, but later toploader and Twin Famicom models had RCA connectors. The first model NES and in the US had RCA connectors, and the Mark III/Master system was the first Sega console to have them (although I think the breakout cable for them was an optional accessory).
> Indeed the spelling fetus is the etymologically correct one as it derives from the Latin term 'fetus' meaning "offspring". The foetus usage is derived from the erroneous belief that the spelling fetus was an Americanism for which an original 'o' had been dropped.

It has happened to friends of mine, a year ago, and was the topic of conversation over some beers. They too just wanted to sell some old or unused computer and electronic "crap", that others might find useful. Instead, banned for life!

A lot of these online companies have become plain whack with the algorithms, policies, and customer service. They just don't care, as long as they are making money. Only when it starts to hurt them financially, will we see them start to care.

People have to "vote with their feet", and simply not use disrespectful and unfriendly companies. When enough people are using eBay alternatives, that's when they will start to "investigate" their policies and treatment of users.
I think the Agile Manifesto is an exercise in subversively asking management for a very reasonable-sounding thing that is completely impossible: autonomy. Every line poses a threat to a well-known corporate best practice, and the natural reaction is to co-opt the message and bring the items in the left column back into the right column.

In the case of Scrum, it's that "individuals and interactions over tools and processes" line. Scrum did start out as a popular Agile methodology among developers, but because it was the most prescriptive and process-oriented of the methodologies, it got adopted and twisted by management and turned into a tool to reassert authority. Now it reasserts that tools and processes are, in fact, more important than individuals and interactions, but this time with the "Agile" label.

I'd love to try working on a Scrum project that doesn't rely on JIRA. Just notes on a corkboard with a quick "need anything?" conversation in the morning.

Ask HN: Can anyone recommend a data quality solution?
We're looking for an inexpensive data quality solution (app/framework) to assist us with the identification of gaps in time-series data as well as the identification of potentially problematic data points using some basic statistics.

Ideally, I'd want to be able to host the solution and automate it to run daily and spit out a report outlining potential issues. The data is all normalized and housed in a single SQL DB. We've written our own bespoke framework for this, but our team is too small to realistically maintain it.

Any suggestions?
Maybe the name doesn't induce a positive feeling in people?
Why do people use plus addresses when minus/hyphen addresses are much less problematic?

Are you referring to BrainQuicken? They sold regular supplements, mainly B vitamins and alpha lipoic acid, marketed as nootropics (which they are). I can't see what's wrong or unethical about that. Unless you think all kinds of resale are unethical?
I partially agree but in Europe (with a mortgage) I am no longer able to judge what's a good job vs "the best job".
I think you should consider OP’s suggestion. Unlimited apps for some X flat rate. I believe this would bring in more users and potentially attract an audience who for instance was considering Cloudron but didn’t want the hassle of even managing/buying the VPS to install it on..
This is my experience as well, I spent a few years complaining that my colleagues didn't know their database well enough, and it was causing unnecessary bugs and poor performance.

I wanted the company to pay for some basic courses on the databases we were using, especially for the more junior Devs.

Instead we switched database like 11 times and now I don't know the database either.

The bugs and poor performance lingers though.

So what? Mindfulness was supposed to be about your _mind_ and not about _minding_ (caring) other peoples issues.
You say remove - I say rollback.

The sentiment should be that we have less government - we should empower individuals, not monolithic state apparatus.

It would ideally be rolled back slowly, keeping a steady focus where governmental power is continuously eroded. However, I also think that things are so wildly out of kilter now, that it is far more likely that things could become even more tumultuous.

I even think the tumult is planned for - we are in a somewhat artificial and managed crisis - the co-ordinated global response to the virus, was calculate to devastate Western economies.

The plan - as I understand it - is for us to be brought to our knees so that we accept/want even global governance as an end to our suffering. At that point, when the deal is done, the crises will disappear as the global technocratic goals will have been achieved.

As for the “apple can’t innovate”, I don’t buy it. Apple of the 90s was full of poorly conceived ideas. I see little difference in the “world changing product development velocity” of Apple then and now.

I do miss the flavor of old apple though, grey has somehow replaced beige as the “boring color every computer uses”
Definitely not. Musk did not ask for anything outrageous in return for the money. It was a PR disaster from the UN's point of view. Perhaps their perception of the risk of calling Elon Musk out like that was broken?
I was a developer and turned into a DBA by necessity. When I was still just a dev, I couldn't get the support I needed from the DBAs, so now I try to be the person I needed help from before.

But, I now understand the problem. At my organisation we have only 2 DBAs, and we can't give all of our time to this task.

To be a DBA is an endless battle against the entropy some devs try to create. The data model should really always be validated by someone with more knowledge and experience. Also, some young devs come up with crazy ideas (for instance, we should not use foreign keys). Others want to load insane amounts of data to process in the database, instead of preprocessing, or using a staging database. There is a continuous stream of bad ideas being implemented.

And when a bad idea gets implemented, it is really hard to undo it and it tends to just create more chaos: you need materialised views to get around bad modelling, or weird views to compensate for duplicate data, etc.

So, yes, a DBA is a really important role. With regards to it being a good job, it depends if your company takes it seriously and puts you in the development process, otherwise you'll be in for a lot of stress.
If you control the drives, what will you do when old drives are cycled out? Will you just dump them in a bin for a letter agency to come and harvest my cat photos?

IMO, FDE is easy enough to do, even if the users never get to do it themselves. It sort of protects the users from leaking their data in the event that a company goes out of business or someone breaks in to steal hardware.
Right now, we have a host of problems, almost all of them manmade, but no, they're not related to the state of nature or even mankind's influence on nature.

We are on the brink of world war three and the UN's only reason for existing is to prevent that from happening again, but instead of doing its job it's playing propaganda games with the word 'disaster' to make you think a global carbon tax is the solution to all of your problems (even though deaths from natural disasters are at all-time lows: https://ourworldindata.org/natural-disasters).

We've got major inflationary pressures triggered from man-made economic policy decisions compounded by the incredibly disastrous decision to attempt to shut down whole economies in the vain attempt to prevent human beings from breathing in the same air space as each other. That was a disaster. We are still living with the chain reaction of that stupidity, and China is still running with it in Shanghai, maybe because power is kinda addictive, even when it's horribly disastrous, I don't know.

The last thing we need is more centralization of power vis-a-vis the UN.
Interesting.

Has anyone done the time lapse video of a cel fading out. I'm imagining against a window in an old warehouse or something.
I was considering this, but in a survey most respondents preferred a prepaid model to avoid surprise charges. The flatrate model does that too, though. Maybe worth trying in the future. Like Spotify for open source apps.

True, but forcing yourself to break that mapping just because you want URLs with less information in them seems like a false economy.
Yes - it's a translation mistake because (as is often the case the words in different languages) the words do not cover exactly the same concepts. Therefore I see little reason to assume that it's "deliberate misdirection" as you wrote in your original comment.
It depends on how far the power of effort can reach. Do the fruits of your effort buy luxury for yourself? That's not a problem to equality of opportunity. But does it buy you political power? Then it might. Does it buy you opportunities for your children? Then that directly violates equality of opportunity.

Perfect equality of opportunity is probably as impossible as any other kind of perfect equality, but I think you can get a lot closer to it than you can get to equality of outcome, by ensuring that at least all the important opportunities are accessible to everybody. If we notice that certain groups of kids from certain environments have less access to certain opportunities that have a big impact on the rest of your life (like education) we should work to fix that.

Now if the kids from successful parents end up waterskiing a bit more while the kids of less successful parents go camping in the woods instead, I don't see that as a very big problem.
You've linked to Channel 4's fact check page but not any specific article and I don't see one about the direct vision standard anywhere on the site.

Secondly, the standard was not an EU initiative, it was London's, though the EU and other places are also coming up with standards. From [1]:

> Significantly, the EU is set to follow London’s DVS for trucks

From [2]:

> The Direct Vision Standard was developed by the Mayor of London (Sadiq Khan) as part of his Vision Zero initiative

Sadiq Khan is very pro-EU and I find it hard to believe he'd miss an opportunity to give credit to the EU and give a snide aside towards Brexit and its supporters, but it seems he's not bothered this time.

From [3]:

> "Our world-first Direct Vision Standard has saved lives

> TfL is also working with the EU and other cities to mandate direct vision in vehicle design and safety regulations.

And from the notes on that page:

> TfL's Direct Vision Standard was developed in conjunction with Loughborough University's School of Design and Creative Arts and through extensive engagement with lorry manufacturers

> The See Me Save Me campaign was founded in 2009 by Kate Cairns following the death of her sister, Eilidh, at Notting Hill Gate, London. See Me Save Me challenges industry, policymakers and the justice system to push for faster adoption of measures to reduce HGV danger

> Kate led the call for direct vision lorries at the European Parliament in Strasbourg in 2010, with the See Me Save Me (seemesaveme.org) campaign lobbying alongside MEP Fiona Hall for mandatory cameras and sensors

> Further lobbying followed in Brussels in 2011 for amendment to Directive 96/53 to improve direct visibility of HGV cabs (seemesaveme.org/policy). The DVS incorporates both of these mitigation measures

So it turns out that the real credit should go to a campaigner who has managed, with the help of a charity called Roadpeace, to turn personal tragedy into something positive, and those with the power to make changes in developing and implementing these standards together and in parallel, and not in opposition to each other.

Finally, I think using words like "propaganda" for situations like this is wholly misplaced and unhelpful.

It's not pseudo-education if you are in the top universities. True still even after graduating from top universities you are not granted to find a job but as I said It's not a country of free academic opportunities but this opportunities are a way to get out of the country itself. I'm not selling it rather implying that a lot of people here (including myself) don't give a damn about academics and just study to get out of here. Also there isn't any free academic opportunities here. People who get accepted to these top universities usually tend to spend a lot of money and effort studying in high school so they can have a great performance on the entrance exam. It's not like anyone who decides can get a free degree.

Another point is that I currently don't have any anonymity. There is only one "mahdi7d1" on the internet as far as I know. And my username everywhere is the same. All my friends and anyone who knows me knows of my username and remembers it (Their curiosity of what 7d1 stand for makes them remember it!) So even a normal person might be able to trace down my activities on the internet and find my real Identity.

Also I haven't said anything to be afraid of lack of freedom of speech here. Moreover there is much more freedom of speech here than people both inside and outside realize and I would like to try to see how much there is!
