I think this is actually exactly right, and applies to agile in general, and is the right way to think about it and the resolution of many tensions.

Agile requires a particular organizational context to work; but it doesn't describe how to get that context, or how to know if you have it, it just assumes it. This is why people arguing about agile often seem to be arguing about different things or have entirely different experiences -- it's about the organizational context that they aren't talking about.

It's just "who doesn't have WeChat?" mindset and laziness to offer a different method of payment that makes it not easy to live without it.

I was in China in Sept 2019 (what good timing..) and without WeChat I did feel if people thought I was from some remote remote village. I saw an old lady who had a rickety old cart with coals and a big pot, inside the pot were warm corn she was selling, and on the cart was a QR code to pay her with WeChat/AliPay.

The same can be said about any subject or skill.

If you go to any class, you'll find some people are interested, others aren't. No matter the subject, be it sport, physics, math, chemistry, art, history, etc. Same teacher, same material, different reaction from students.

There is so much discourse around the fall of the dollar, but in reality, the reserve status of the dollar is a huge gift from the US to the rest of the world.

It’s not free or easy to maintain the stability (and therefore the attractiveness) of the dollar. It costs the US a lot to do so, and it’s not clear what it gets in return anymore. For example, the option of growing exports by weakening the dollar (or more likely, the dollar weakening naturally due to a trade deficit) simply doesn’t exist for the U.S. because it runs counter to maintaining the stability of the dollar.

Essentially, the US has to rely on expensive fiscal policy and trade barriers to grow exports and a domestic production base instead of the much easier monetary policy.

But more generally, US monetary policy is highly driven by global needs more so than national needs. And the USD’s reserve status is a large part of that.

The traditional benefit for the US was always cheaper oil. But considering the U.S. is the largest producer of fossil fuels today, and further, all countries need to reduce their reliance on fossil fuels, this is a benefit that will become increasingly less relevant over the upcoming decades.

If the U.S. is lucky some other country will pick up the slack it’s been picking up all this while.

And buying oil in INR makes a lot of sense for the UAE because so much of its labor costs is paid to Indians. It would be far more efficient to just pay them in INR going forward.

That being said, it remains to be seen how successful the currency of a country which has depreciated significantly over the past decade+ against the dollar, and further, has been subject to multiple rounds of “demonetization” and other capricious govt policies, will be as an alternative reserve currency.
Key difference with huddles is you can join in on one without an invite. Previous calls required you to call in the participants.

Its an attempt at making something an open office / standing room type situation so people can wander in and out of huddles to check in with folks.

The ViewComponent (viewcomponent.org) project brings a lot of the benefits of components to Rails views. It makes data dependencies explicit, it makes them testable, and reusable.

Worth checking out, but it doesn't address unidirectional data flow and hooks, since those are not relevant in a Rails context.

Personally, having state on the server and updating html over the wire is far superior to managing client-side state.

It's not reasonable at all. If someone is trying to learn Docker and they read this misleading article, they will think they can somehow run their Dockerfile as a container, and they will be wholly confused as to why it's not going to work out.

> large scale commercial and entertainment activity

I think you're redefining "social media" (which I think was previously called "social networking" once upon a time) as "broadcasting" and "megaphones" so naturally your definition doesn't fit.

But socializing online is about sharing information, interests, and building a (small, or the size you prefer) network of people you consider online friends.

Discord does seem to work well for chatting about those same things with the people I know, and I can easily see how others use it for the same usage but with online-only friends. But whenever I visit my corner of the fediverse, I see lots of like-minded people sharing content that's relevant to me (the hashtags I follow), and I've engaged and enjoyed the experience.

There was and is no reason why any of that requires "large scale commercial and entertainment activity", and, in fact, those things seem antithetical to building up a community of people you want to communicate with online about your interests.

>still basically bound to an irrational emotional response to Chernobyl.

It's hardly irrational. Nuclear power is effectively still uninsurable by private insurers and the taxpayer clean up bill for Fukushima is around $800 billion.

It wouldn't be irrational to build more power stations if they were cheap but nuclear power is even less economic than using wind and solar power to synthesize gas for storage and burning that to generate electricity:

I don’t think missions are individually billed for DSN time, rather DSN time is allocated according to NASA internal priorities. Which is a classic resourcing problem in bureaucracies.

That also explains the challenge for private investment. If none of the missions are budgeted to buy bandwidth, then you would have no customers for a private DSN service.
I'd say it's more a choice that you need to make: is what you don't want more important than being there?
This reminds me, off topic but I once found a YouTube channel or playlist of this African women teaching how to read. Apparently a lot of African women can't read and she wanted to solve the problem by making a video course to teach them. I can't for the life of me find it, when I search its either kids ABCs videos or TED talks about empowered black woman authors. I wonder if any video course aficionados might know what channel I'm talking about.
There is no regulation proposed, or method proposed, to substantively reduce how much co2 is emitted when you burn fossil fuels for power. That is why this problem is so hard. You can't put a filter in place like you can for heavy metals or particulates. There is no solution other than switching to nuclear/solar/wind/etc

This happens to me basically everywhere. Recently, $300 of crap from Target soaked in laundry detergent. Usually the amounts are small enough that they say not to return the items - I pay the cleaning price and at least most of the stuff doesn't go to waste. But this time they wanted it all sent back, so have fun with that (and they wouldn't even cross-ship). It still boggles my mind how they're able to waste so much stuff and lose so much money seemingly without care.

The only mitigation I've found is to make multiple orders separating out heavy/bulky/liquid/light/fragile items, shipping cutoffs permitting. But of course this is less likely to work with Amazon where they coalesce different orders. (The latest incident was due to forgetting to do this, which should be their job, for them)
> For others, the attitude is more it's just a degree and lots of people have advanced degrees that we don't go around using honorifics for.

Like what? Doesn't that argument work the other way around, that lots of people have equivalent or higher degrees than medicos, but only the latter are called doctors at their place of work?

All I can think is things like EngD, but I'd think those holders are as likely as PhDs to use the 'Doctor' from it, it's really just the term the university happened to use in awarding it.

The article is incorrect. If you don't download or build the Docker image from the Dockerfile, you will not be able to run a container from the Dockerfile alone.

Low barrier to entry. Convenience. Ease of use. Sign-up and now you can talk to your friends from across the world!

Now, you have to be force-fed shit ads along the way.

I don’t think anyone who values their social life would like it if you put it like that, but inertia and the gravity of network effects are a bitch.

The real problem is these private platforms have the power of public utilities, and we treat them like public utilities until they pull the rug from under us, and siphon our data to profit psychopathic overlords.

Furthermore, these companies don’t just throw ads at you, they also aid the surveillance state which can compromise your basic rights to privacy and fair elections. Malicious foreign governments use it to influence elections with false information and propaganda. Malicious domestic government can use it as a easy spying tool by buying or scraping data.

No one will be safe on these things until we get proper government regulation. The EU’s GDPR is a step in the right direction but more work needs to be done.

> an era where e-bikes are a lot more like regular bikes: totally generic, interchangeable parts that don’t require any single manufacturer.

I wouldn’t hold my breath. https://www.lowtechmagazine.com/2023/02/can-we-make-bicycles...:

“Until a few decades ago, component compatibility was a hallmark of bicycle manufacturing. My bicycles are a perfect example of this. Most components – such as wheels, gear set, and brakes – are interchangeable between the different frames, even though every vehicle is from another brand and year of construction.

[…]

Unfortunately, compatibility is hardly a feature of bicycle manufacturing anymore. Manufacturers have introduced an increasing number of proprietary parts and keep changing standards, resulting in compatibility issues even for older bicycles of the same brand. For example, if the shifter of a modern bike breaks after some years of use, a replacement part will probably no longer be available. You need to order a new set from a new generation, which will be incompatible with your front and rear derailleur – which you also need to replace. For road bikes, the change from cassette bodies with ten sprockets (around 2010) to cassette bodies with eleven, twelve, and most recently thirteen sprockets have made many wheelsets obsolete, and the same goes for the rest of the drivetrain including shifters and chains.

Disc brakes, which are now on almost every new bicycle, all have different axle designs, meaning that every vehicle now requires proprietary spare parts. Disc brakes also required new shifters, forks, framesets, cables, and wheels, making such bicycles incompatible with earlier designs.”

> What changed is that people want to make money with the web

People always wanted to make money on the web, but the sites of people that didn't still appeared in search results. Now search result positioning depends on the amount of ads you're prepared to host. So, the people who are optimizing for revenue are listed way above the people who aren't optimizing at all and are just creating.

There are times when I've searched for a tumblr page literally by the exact and totally unique name and still not found it on the 3rd page of results, all of which were unrelated garbage.

They've decided that they'd rather piss you off than lose money sending traffic to sites that won't pay to play. It's toxic.

I'd like to look at some data on people movements before making up hypotheses and theories. What we have seen is that more people are moving out of India than into the country (other than some poor migrants from places like Bangladesh). What do you think that this data is telling - not about the people (it is easy to blame them for not being patriotic etc). but about the judgements these people have made of the situation? In my opinion, people prefer comfort and lesser competition over grinding it out and this is a universal preference. Denying this basic fact will not help you come up with solutions to the problem - just wishing "if all the people would choose to stay and grind it out, then the country will have more progress" is not a viable solution.
And those solutions can be enforced by regulation. But when you get regulation like generation shifting, corporations and the political right wing collude to say that the regulations are unconstitutional.

You need a paid (!) subscription to a provider, potentially a subscription to an indexer, plus client software.

When Usenet was big, you didn't need a paid subscription. Almost every ISP included it for free.

I never heard of an indexer.

Client software came with your operating system, or it was built in to your e-mail client, or you could download for free.

As for today — yes, how awful that you might have to pay for something. Completely terrible. It might even be half the price of a cup of coffee. Completely unacceptable to have to give someone money for something of value. Terrible.

Nah. The book is a big metaphor used to explain the philosophy. Making the characters like that means they're harder to relate (I think to some degree, Rand thought she was Dagny) but easier to understand. Them being physically superior to me is a bridge between the abstract and the concrete of the philosophy, in that the characters embody their beliefs.
As for the presumption that her philosophy is true as a premise for the book, I guess it depends on how you see objectivism, and let's not kid ourselves, where on the political spectrum you consider yourself to be. To me, it's about inspiring to be competent, self-sufficient, reliable, virtuous, and that the pursuit of that is what gives life meaning. To others, from what I've heard, it ranges from being a selfish asshole to a worse 50's version of Twilight.
