While a sedentary lifestyle causing obesity may be true on an individual basis (and exercise is really really good for you regardless of your weight), it fails to explain why people who do manual labor tend to be as fat or fatter than people who have office jobs and why sedentary people of the past were not that fat compared to people today. There are a lot of reasons detailed in the series about why personal choice cannot adequately explain how it is we are getting fatter as a society. I think there are many good arguments for a non-chemical cause, like more and more appetizing highly processed foods.

But to say "people will blame anything instead of taking action" makes no sense. We have had decades of action trying to get people to eat healthy and exercise. It hasn't done anything. We have to accept that just telling people to lose weight doesn't work and start pursuing other options.

And there are so many good options! In Spain, for example, "staple foods" such as vegetables, meat, and bread are taxed at a lower rate while highly processed foods are taxed at the normal rate. In most developed countries, universal healthcare helps people prevent and manage the worst diseases associated with obesity such as heart disease and diabetes. And yes, we should investigate alternate explanations outside of the exercise/diet nexus such as chemical contamination! It may not be the reason but it is a testable hypothesis that would be "big if true."
Revenue neutrality of the taxes isn't going to stop people from losing their homes, unless you happen to live in a hypothetical state where everyone holds values of land exactly in proportion to something else that's currently taxed
(In which case there would be no point to switching to LVT from that tax anyway...)

Just to be clear: I'm asking for LDAP to be one possible choice. If an installation wants to use LDAP BIND they can use that, or if the want to use SAML they could use that, or OATH. But not at the same time: you get to choose one.

Django Authentication system for example has a User object that allows different backends to feed into it:

We are looking at switching vendors, but the fact that they EOL'ed the server version makes JIRA a non-starter for us.

Legit review sites are pretty much dead. Most of them look and say exacy the same thing. Almost none of them have any objective measurements beyond what's stated already from marketing spec sheets.

I've still had strong suspicion that even with the ones that do "objective" measurements are somehow misleading and that secretly, there are kickbacks for the top rated products.

I have hope that Linus will bring legitimacy to the review space.
This comes up every few years and it is important to note that the opposite is true. Most unhappy families have drug abuse or interpersonal abuse at play. Most happy families are happy and fulfilled for a variety of interesting reasons.
Homeless people can already go camp on BLM or other public lands, but generally they don't because living in the middle of nowhere isn't going to get you out of that situation.
I’m not sure why LVT would be assessed this way? I’m pretty sure the idea would be to keep the same assessment mechanisms, but tax only land, not improvements.
>The problem I have with the incessant Jira bitching is that I rarely feel that bitchers have a true understanding for the extreme difficulty of the organization-wide problem Jira is trying to solve.

I think the core problem with Jira is organizations trying to use it to solve complex organization-wide problems. It is an enormous time sink, and using Jira to rule the workdays of employees is the problem.

Anything much more complicated than a checklist is wrong. Jira is an attractor for middle management growth that gives people who don't need to be doing anything something to do, and adding complexity gives more opportunities for more people to not do very much and generally get in the way of execution. It is also a way to give people who aren't very necessary or very good at understanding the big picture something that they can do to do.

Take away Jira and tools that you can order other people to use and you end up with middle management that literally doesn't know what to do because they couldn't organize or ease productivity to save their lives. Jira becomes the thing being managed instead of whatever is actually to be done.
Jira is as good or bad as you configure it to be. It's a tool. We long ago learned how to use JavaScript effectively despite its numerous flaws. If you're at an organization where you have to use Jira, surely you can find a way to make it work.

That said, it's certainly not the Right Answer for everyone. But unilaterally hating on it is just kinda childish.
Maybe the web is/was shit for this kind of application which has caused it to become the beast it is.

This is not what LVT is. This is one potential mechanism to find the price of assets so they can be taxed.
Measuring psychological well-being is not easy.

With emotional dysregulation or trauma, which comes in many varieties and is more common than people realize, the path towards healing often involves someone feeling "worse" at first as they begin to face pain and emotions that have been suppressed

Someone who hasn't yet overcome their biggest difficulties won't have deep insight into their various psychological states and frames of mind. Without proper guidance, attempts to measure what's going on and assess progress can cause confusion and frustration. Especially if they aren't receiving helpful treatment, which is unfortunately far too common.

I think there is potential for measurement to help, but it's a difficult thing to do well.

This is all simply an aspect of the more general issue of how psychology and psychiatry are not well-developed areas of practice. Humanity is still learning how to effectively approach these problems.
In the past often the ones that didn't pay would at least fly you over to headquarters and wine/dine you and put you up at a hotel for a night or two, which was a nice "off the books" payment.
I wouldn't use Reddit for anything but general product usage information. You can get some honest reviews from Reddit users, but I find a lot of it is people justifying their purchase instead of honest feedback.
You don't understand correctly. LVT is basically just property tax that doesn't assess the structure that's built on the land. So, land near a subway stop or bus terminal or downtown offices would be taxed higher as compared to land in the outskirts of town or in suburbs.

You are thinking more of something like Glen Weyl's Radical Markets proposals.
The main problem with Jira is that it echoes the people who manage it almost perfectly. Crappy Management = Jira Hate, but it's really Manager Hate. I figured this out at my last job. Then I left.

Isn't the idea that a LVT would improve the use of land? If that premise is correct, it could cause the city to flourish and grow ahead of its neighbors.

Implementing the change more narrowly would allow you to test that assumption.

Better to just offer a 10% reduction in LVT per person (including children) living there, if at least one of the people was the owner.

The upper middle class is largely defined by having a large amount of their wealth in their single family home. They would absolutely be crushed by a LVT, since discouraging single family homes on expensive land is pretty much the whole point.

Jira doesn't just reflect, it drives convoluted unhelpful bureaucracy. The tool drives the organization to look like the tool wants it to, which is disorganized half broken "organization" with silly overcomplicated rules that give people something to discuss enthusiastically instead of the actual work that needs doing.

Jira is organization poison, not just a reflection of what an organization is.

Mainly to know when to open windows (CO2 monitor?) and to vacuum and its effect (PM2.5?) and maybe some generic stuff because why not (temperature, humidity, pressure). I probably want something more precise, that just a traffic light system, but don't plan to plot readings in Grafana either.
I fucking hate JIRA because it encourages people to create and abandon tickets for years, creating an alternate dimension of irrelevant trash that gets in the way of doing things.

If your team has an append-only doctrine to information, like most tech debt mills in the industry have, JIRA will become an extension of that ever increasing pile of unmaintained, disgusting, revolting monolith of excrement that captures every activity in software development.

Nothing can be done about the gigantic monolith of soul crushing chaos therefore we need to embrace it, at the expense of our sanity. Nothing can be done about the hopeless hoarding of irrelevant, duplicate tickets that distract people from work.

JIRA makes it very easy to create new tickets, and much harder to close them. So naturally it becomes a virtual sewer. JIRA is about being able to present a large amount of information to easily impressionable people so that so some people can justify their job.

There are already many incentives for sprawl. It's not clear to me how encouraging more of it solves these problems.
I think where the disconnect is occurring is that leetcoding on whiteboards, and home assignments are not the norm for many of us who are Senior.

I have 20y+ experience in startups, unicorn, large companies, big data analytics, full stack applications, and system design.

I am not asked to interview with whiteboard coding when someone wants to hire me from a referral. They are glorified meet and greets.

This is what having a network of people who have worked with you before, and have seen your productivity does. You don't interview the same way other people do, people want you for you, because they know that it doesn't matter what the technology is, you're going to provide a crazy level of value, and they want that level of value in their situation.

> It's always taken on from the position of "well, it didn't make my specific use case easy"

For customers, their own specific use cases are the only ones they should care about.

I don't know why there isn't a good solution to the problems Jira attempts to tackle, but that's no reason to get philosophical. It's OK to hate every existing option.
I only use Jira for defect tracking and not project planning. In that regard it seems to be only slightly worse than Github/Gitlab's issue tracking. It'd be kinda nice if it supported Markdown but it's not a big deal.

The only things I need it to do are: (1) record an archive of comments describing the progress on the issue's resolution, (2) be able to store attachments, (3) be able to cross-reference other issues. Maybe I have a really low bar? But it seems to do those without much problem and in my case it doesn't seem to be slow.

No offense taken. You do have a site you trust, so you're all good.

I find that if I read a whole lot of stuff, I start to get the gist.
Who said anything about a very high LVT? Where LVTs have been implemented, they phase them in and can make the taxes about the same as before. It will certainly increase taxes on people that are holding an empty lot in the center of town though.

I'm sorry, but if you can't see the numerous problems with this high school level idea about solving homelessness, maybe housing policy isn't something you should opine about.
I love KDE connect and it uses sshfs in the background. I hope it gets a new owner soon. Hmmm, maybe I should volunteer...
You're presuming that the homeless you see on the streets already "don't have somewhere to go." For the majority of them, this is not true. They choose to live where they can easily get drugs or avoid their mental health issues. Most of them have homes or families that they could otherwise return to.

From ground level, access to property does not seem to be any part of the problem here. Plus, you'd want that property to be somewhere close to jobs and services or you're just going to be pushing problems from the downtown core to wherever you manage to build these homes.
You mean legislation? :)
>So yeah, aesthetics do matter.

I'm not even sure what your point was. I never said aesthetics didn't matter, nor did I say it is the only factor. You seemed to feel inspired enough by the ugliness of a product to speak out against it, without recognizing why it exists.

This is pretty much the core of it. I use Jira daily, but my exposure to it is the tip of the iceberg in terms of what it can do.

I think what most people forget is that this Jira is basically an ERM but for development-focused organizations. (Where the resources are time and people instead of processes and inventory.) If you've ever seen the complexity (or price tag!) of a real ERM, Jira actually looks very reasonable.

That said, smaller companies and teams should definitely use simpler tools that are more appropriate for their scale. Hire a Jira consultant and make the switch only when you're big enough to justify it.
Communication here is key. If the process is described well and reasons explained, I believe it could work just fine.

It's still perfectly functional. There's just some pilling and lack of color homogeneity and certainly doesn't look new. I'll still wear it so long as I don't really need to be dressed up which I rarely am these days. (Like almost never.)

You're right that it wouldn't need to be dry cleaned after each use under minimally sweaty conditions. That said, while I have occasionally had laundry done in the middle of an extended trip, by and large I don't want to be dealing with laundry and dry cleaning if I don't need to.
You're thinking of Glen Weyl's wealth tax proposal.
Space is at a premium on things like that. Having it makes some computers not boot ipxe.
I upvoted your comment because I believe it's a perfect example of what I was trying to point out: it is impossible to please everyone with a company-wide project management tool, but the fact remains that it is a necessity.

For all the people bitching about how Jira makes it hard to work like they want to work, their are folks like you who will complain that Jira makes it to easy to get around a company-wide standard.

To emphasize, I'm not saying either side is right or wrong, I'm just saying it's impossible to build a project management tool where large subsets of people won't complain about the exact same set of features that another subset of stakeholders likes.
The SEC seem to be heading in that direction, but they have been slow to react and haven't yet exercised reasonable regulation.

I get paid for developing plugins for Jira since 2014. One can complain about UX and speed of this software, but I saw it being the hearth of businesses of all kinds and sizes.

Just like you won't get fired for using React in your project, you won't get fired for using Jira. It will support whatever your workflow is (and I don't mean only software development, but things like hiring or office management). If the built-in features are not enough, you will find a plugin that meets your needs.

I think long-term it's important to use a tool that give you this flexibility.
In general, when a company gets bought out, quality tends to drop. Maybe not immediately, but definitely with time. The new owners have to make back their money and they'll start to cut corners wherever they can. These cuts, even if small, eventually have a negative impact.

Japan has 18% smokers vs. 12.5% in the US. They have a five year longer life expectancy but they also have universal healthcare, so it's not really a fair comparison. Plus, Japan has good air quality and robust elder care.

On top of that, they may have chemical factors (such as no lithium mines) that differentiate them from other developed countries.

The value of a piece of land is determined much more by the things around it than by the things that are on it.

A land value tax is punishing people for squandering valuable land. If you're not making a sufficiently productive use of your valuable land for it to be worth paying the tax, you should sell it to someone who will, and you should move somewhere cheaper.

Ok, so a computer with a water sprinkler attachment. Sorry, I'm not trying to be flippant, the point is any such system would be more than just a CPU, it would need interfaces with the outside world. It could have whatever peripheral systems you like. It could have quantum computational elements, even ones correlating to ones in the brain. I've just no idea what non-computational elements it might have that couldn't be substituted by computational ones or just peripheral components.
