This is no different than claiming to be a registered nurse without going through the trouble to become one or baring the responsibility that entails. In this case, "Engineer" is a protected title, like "Registered Nurse", or "Doctor". Although it's typically applied to civil and structural engineers who must accept liability for designs they approve. Think bridges, buildings, etc. Professional Engineers are bound by standards of performance, personal liability and a code of ethics that does not apply to people who simply "graduated from an engineering program." When an engineer designs a bridge and puts their professional seal to it, they're taking personal responsibility for the design's safety. If that bridge fails, they could be held liable for damages.

That this guy didn't understand the difference speaks to his level of knowledge and professionalism.

At this point, I think it has less to do with a belief in a complete gun ban, which seems an absurd thing to even contemplate.

It's more that absolutely nothing is done at all. Not even Sandy Hook produced any change whatsoever. A prominent argument was that the entire thing was a fake for the purpose of banning guns, tacitly admitting that reality did merit some kind of change.

So at this point it's more of an indicator that politics has utterly broken down. We can't meaningfully discuss a limit case such as you bring up, because the answer is predetermined. Between a Supreme Court composed two-thirds of candidates vetted to allow no gun restrictions of any kind ever, and a set of checks and balances in the Congress that requires a super majority for any legislation, the argument is permanently decided in favor of "doing nothing". Not just on this issue but on every issue.

Compared to that worrying about Zombie George III reimposing the Stamp Acts doesn't seem much like worrying about.
>But most of them seem to think they can operate entirely in document-land and just crank out roadmap docs and keep stakeholder alignment via endless check-ins and nagging. They are doing a "project manager" job instead.

Ok, maybe I came to the wrong place to say what I'm gonna say because I guess that a sizable part of the demographics here works in hot, meaningful projects, but as a corp worker for the last 8+ years, it has been my experience that a lot of companies have products that are used either internally by their own employees or by another corporate client that still pays for them out of inertia or because there is just too much custom business logic that now it's too costly to replace them.

In both of these cases we're talking about uncompetitive products that are probably going to remain so before being discontinued. And in both of these cases companies will try nonetheless to create a SCRUM-like arrangement with PMs and POs and behave like they are building a revolutionary product, urgent taks and pressure for results included.

It has also been my experience that in this kind of environment normally PMs and POs will be fully invested in doing politics to try to climb up the corporate ladder without much concern about what makes a good or usable product. They will steer the project in whatever direction makes them look good to the administration or the client at the cost of creating a fragmented product that many times looks like it's doing a random walk in terms of functionality and improvements.

I'm not old enough to know how things were built in the 60's/70's/80's(no SCRUM/PM's/PO's I guess) but the catastrophist discourse that there's a deep slowdown in productivity compared to the previous decades and that today we're mostly relying on things we already did in the past maps pretty well with my perception.
What do you mean by that and what are you basing that on?
> They don't have the push to constantly changing stuff around for the sake of things like systemd and net-tools.

I assume you forgot a word here and intended to write "changing stuff around for the sake of changing things"?

I just want to set the record straight: systemd solves the startup-dependency problem. Yes the old default init scripts worked fine for your system (that probably had very few services installed other than vanilla defaults), but it was insufficient for handling the exploding cascade of dependencies when service1 depends on the network, service2 depends on the graphical subsystem, service3 (the wifi daemon) can restart the network, etc. People tried in vain, hacked nasty rc.init scripts for years, until Poettering took matters into his own hands.

I will stop there because I dont know the whole history behind it, but I just take issue with the attitude that systemd in particular is just kids messing around with the latest-new-thing. Some of that does exist in the Linux sphere, even worse, with some maintainers putting inappropriate images and political messages in their apps[1]. But systemd - as with wayland - solves a problem that had been brewing a long time.I suppose you could almost think of it as a fix for developers instead of end users? I'm not compelling you to use it, just disputing your final point.

Depends, my CFO got a lot of flak for choosing to use PwC when it turned out they couldn't deliver.

PwC was seen by him to be the safe choice because they were so large and essentially industry standard. He got flak because he didn't do appropriate due diligence. That was his job, so...

I was looking for inspiration on requirements engineering practices beyond arc42 & friends that are compatible with (or can be explained to deciders in) larger organisations, and found the Nasa process ideas (expectations - "conops" - requirements) surprisingly flexible
Sadly there have seemed to be a number of rough edges that have stuck around with ZFS native encryption, which is unfortunate given that the cross platform and remote replication advantages are fundamentally very compelling. Honestly it's kind of curious that polishing that experience hasn't been more of a priority, for commercial interests like iXsystems if no one else. Speaking of which, for people running their ZFS off a NAS the idea of just being able to offload all the encryption and FS computation to that is a compelling part of the value equation beyond sheer storage in principle too. Though that in turn (if one does it with iSCSI) runs into another seemingly neglected area of ZFS (zvols). Nothing is perfect.
While it is true that over deep time less and less survives due to subduction not all areas do, and human activity covers vast surfaces now leaving many artifacts and traces. You should also consider that we do have fossils from > 3 billion years ago. Certainly not everything will survive but there’s no question some human traces will persist for hundreds of millions of years.
I mentioned those because key management is the hard part and most people are going to be using platform authenticators for that reason. In some cases there are APIs (this was one of the features in the last macOS / iOS release) but I was also thinking that moving it closer to a browser is interesting because between platform passkeys and SSO, there are a lot of people who have all of their credentials & MFA ready in a browser and would like to reuse that.

Some searching suggests there’s at least one implementation of the SSH agent protocol using Windows Hello, which is great.
This is the only sand way to go. It's surprising how many places just don't have PMs, or have far too many PMs (also applies to QA, junior engineers, senior engineers, architects, HR personnel, Vice Presidents, salespeople, etc.)

"Standards compliant" is a bit of revisionists history. Mid 90s were wild west of browser development. Netscape and later MS were releasing browser every 6-12 months (fast for the time). Standards were defined post-hoc. JS, CSS, ActiveX, Applets were all created along-side or before standards. MS practices were mostly ruthless and some illegal, but as a product it was in later times similar to or little better than Navigator.
> One person claimed a vital role to the whole programme

The whole programme of 400,000 people. Really? I sort of gave up on TFA at that point. It reminds me of some pop-sci report of an experiment conducted on 'monkeys' that claimed to show some aspect of leadership, where an underling came up with a solution. If the monkeys were any sort of chimp, the underling would have got a bad beating if it seriously undermined an alpha.
As a counterpoint, as someone who "single tasks" with one full-screen window at all times to minimize distractions I absolutely hate the fact that it is always there and immediately removed it for that exact reason.

Good luck with it though - the basic idea seems great even if it's not for me.

It’s well worth reading about this. The ways that scientist have determined these things are complex but easily discoverable on the Internet.

Also, while I was using hundreds of millions because that was the timeframe of the original question, the reality is that we actually have fossils that are more than 3 billion years old.
If it wasn't clear, i'm a product manager that started in project management.

The real problem is product management is hot, project management is old.

I've been around the block enough times at different companies to form that opinion and thats OK.
Product management is consistently project management with extra steps. Those steps being business and market analysis to solve customer problems.

It seems businesses are starting to realize that.

There is an alternative view that exists in BFO/OBI for example where you have a 'planned process' which contain a set of processes to execute a 'plan specification' to act on 'material entities' (your parts and the table) and the parthood relations.
Modern devices should be in the 10-15ms range. If yours are not, return them as defective.

The 5ms I referred to was the difference versus a cable - I’d expect a modern keyboard to be under 10ms and Bluetooth to be under 15ms. Since I’ve measured that the latency for a keystroke to render on screen in VSC at 16-24ms, I’m comfortable saying at least Apple has Bluetooth latency under that level.
I don't think we even have any ice samples as old as three million years.

> You and the parent seem to dislike the author sharing their opinions on things on their own blog

At least w.r.t. the original comment, this seems like a misunderstanding. GP was saying that, absent any explanation for why the author came to the opinions they did, the article doesn't say much of value. They don't dislike the author sharing their opinions on the author's own blog.
Boo. Human appreciation is what gives nature and wildlife any significant meaning. The universe doesn't care about a 70 year old albatross. Only we care.
Sorry, I have to politely disagree.

Space exploration could save humanity in so many ways. Nevermind the big "what if" discoveries that would impact the trajectory of our entire species, we also discover valuable science along the way - things that help us in our every day life.

More importantly, the country with the most advanced space agency by default has the most advanced weapons. A hostile nation could pretty easily tow a small asteroid toward Earth and wipe our any country they wanted. Rocket technology, fuel technology, etc.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the space race helped to collapse the Soviet Union to some degree, didn't it?

Regardless of whether my last point stands, I think space is incredibly important to humanity's future.
Certainly, many haven't eaten in days. yet, the need for communication remains crucial. It's regrettable that HN discussions about the war often quickly spiral into another "war". There are some suitable angles, like, the challenge of providing connectivity to 2 million people lacking main electricity and with sporadic internet access for months.

which argues for a probability per exoplanet small enough that it hasn’t happened a second time in the observable universe. On the other hand, one of the self-organizing proposals cited elsewhere in this thread may turn out to be correct and the probability may be much higher.

The point is that, while there are some cool ideas on the table, everything hinges on the particular value of this probability (not just a qualitative story of how life might have arisen) and we don’t know what it is.

> How often do you have a Product Manager who is an expert in regulatory/compliance laws and has contacts with government agencies?

> Usually the Product Manager is Josh, who just finished uni, and a two weeks product manager course. They will have to ask experts, and then translate that to the devs. It's much more efficient to let the devs ask the experts, which will let the devs themselves become well versed in the domain over time.

I have definitely seen this happen, but as a very senior engineer, now PM, I can tell you this is a management/hiring failure much more so than anything else. I have long advocated that PMs /must/ be technical to be successful and, maybe more importantly, useful.

If you’re in an industry that is compliance encumbered, you should absolutely expect that your PMs are experts or at least professionally competent in the compliance standards you need to meet, or at minimum intellectually and contextually capable of getting there rapidly.

Hiring someone just out of college to be a PM is a huge red flag that your organization doesn’t understand the role of a PM, and that your upper level management is likely incompetent also. Without significant prior experience in some related facet to the product, it is not possible to be successful as a PM, and I wouldn’t expect a new grad to be able to do much more than push papers. PMs should always be former practitioners, if possible, but at least technically competent at minimum.

This reminds me of the experiment to get the best chickens for laying; every so often they'd get rid of the chickens that didn't lay as much and swap in for a new set, continually getting rid of the lower X%.

In the end, the overall output was lower because all the "alpha layers" spent more time fighting than laying.

As a software dev, I can't count the number of times HR/hiring managers go for the 10x people, exclusively, and end up with an org that just can't drive in any one direction.

I'm not so sure. Whether this article is good or not is a moot point. Hasbro is publicly traded so there is verifiable information about the company available. As others have pointed out, we can see them rapidly selling off assets and IP and cutting staff. I'm not a professional analyst, but surely one could substantiate an argument for or against this decision.

Edit: Also, this decision isn't a single data point. We can look at the track record and business trajectory to make an informed decision. I am not particularly well informed about Hasbro, but based on historical stock price, industry trends and comments here, it really seems like they are fucking up
