Despite what Agile wants to be what matters most is how Agile is in practical application. Speaking from more than 15 years of doing this at many employers it's an administrative tool to bind effort to project management... and nothing more.

I am not saying whether Agile is good or not, but there are better approaches that can yield faster trajectory with lower defects. Its a trade off between automation/autonomy versus administrative oversight.

There is no comparison between starship and Boeing. The comparission would be a Crew Dragon and Boeing.

When Crew Dragon first launched back in 2020 it was news -- i.e. it was literally NEW. They were the first people to launch into space from the US since the shuttle retired.

Crew Dragon last launched in March, and I certainly didn't see anything about it, it's business as usual.

Cathedrals were erected by the townships and were indeed a major economic investment. They generally payed off well, giving raise to tourism (then known as pilgrimage) and elevating the status of the city, both with considerable effects on commerce. If you were a major town or city, or aspired to become one, you definitively wanted to build a cathedral. (And, as already pointed out by several other comments, none of these locations were cathedrals.)
RealPage's formula is largely the opposite of that.

Before RealPage, most large landlords would aim for 97-98% occupancy and set their rents accordingly.

RealPage would encourage landlords to instead aim for 90-95% occupancy by setting higher rents. Most of the time, this turned out to be a more profitable strategy, even though it makes property managers nervous because they feel like empty apartments = lost money.
Git-pile: scripts for using a stacked-diff workflow with Git and GitHub
In the Mediterranean like in any resort area a lot of people live from housing, which requires not only owning, but also keeping it attractive, complying with local regulations, looks and the culture. It's nothing like rental company in NYC owning a garage full of rats, and charging a arm and a leg.

Middle class is a family from Zaragoza having a vacation house in Maresme or some extra property in Alicante which were sold for like 20-30K a few years ago, and then occupied, which took them a few months to evict.

The collaboration between scary deoccupying folks and okupas should be common, even if hard to prove, and it's mostly directed on people like this. Many people don't go to police and prefer to pay off just not to see their property ruined.
Project planning started in the early 2010s, a few years before SpaceX had come close to demonstrating reusability -- at the time, it was regarded as a fairly risky and dubious experiment.
At the time Ariane 6 was getting started (publicly), SpaceX was still attempting to land Falcon 9 successfully for the first time. So it was not at all a sure bet that Ariane 6 would end up coming of age in a world where individual rocket boosters have 10+ flights under their belt.

Still, SpaceX was making progress at that time, so ArianeSpace pointedly ignoring the possibility of reuse was, in my opinion, shortsighted.

Edit: SpaceX first booster landing was December 2015.

Per wikipedia:

Selection of the [Ariane 6] design concept was made by ESA in December 2014, favouring it over an alternative all-solid-fuel rocket option. Further design was completed in 2015 and it entered the detailed design phase in 2016. In 2017, the ESA set 16 July 2020 as the deadline for the first flight.
They are just very late to this game, as the organization did not believe it was a good direction.

They are planning some form of reusability in the future, just because they have to, if they want to drastically reduce costs [0].

A thing that is not happening is letting private companies innovate in this space in Europe, as Ariane is still mostly government funded in the EU.

How important do you think would a grid hookup be on European freight trains for reefers?

It should be straight forward to include full wagon power with the upcoming DAC4EU coupling (UIC 552 says that normal coaches are to have an 800A through connection that's regularly fed with 1000V 16.7Hz or 1500V 50Hz; this is single-wire earth(/track)-return).

Keep in mind that unlike North American freight trains, Europe mainline service is almost fully electrified. Thus the reefer would be grid-fed.

I'm asking because I'm looking to propose a change to the current plans for the electric coupler (use near-field RF instead of the currently-preferred single-pair Ethernet or it's fallback powerline; I think 802.11 has suitable PHY options, especially among the OFDM codes if the near-field chamber is dispersive and/or has problematic resonances in the channel), and throwing in "grid power for reefers" with actual numbers from the reefer container industry would be easy (a change to the coupler is a change, and the additional cable through the wagon shouldn't be that extensive either if it's an economical aluminum type; also this would allow passenger coaches that are currently using the pre-DAC4EU hook and chain coupling to be used with DAC4EU rolling stock).
If you own a second property and decide to rent it out and your tenant decides to stop paying rent you're fucked. Until they get an eviction notice from a court, which can take more than a year, you have to keep paying utilities for them. Nor can you change the locks. If the okupa has children you're even more fucked.

Considering how many desokupa services exist I'd say it's a real problem.

If that is true it does not exonerate Musk at all, it means the lying is systemic. If the CEO creates a culture where people are too scared to tell him the truth, that falls squarely on the CEO. And it inspires no confidence if a $500B company can't predict the performance of their own product when the YouTuber above could predict it with nothing but a whiteboard.
Yeah, that's a good point as well. We would certainly be much worse off in an Anarcho-Capitalist/Libertarian world.

He managed to get my attention starting with the cathedrals' polygons and exact bell tower positions, only to pull a "50 kilometers off, nevermind".
In the US, I knew someone who owned a second house in the same city that they had never lived in and planned to rent out in the future. When someone broke in and squatted there early in covid, they reacted as though the squatters were in the house they actually currently lived in - describing their fear and trauma in a way such that people who didn't know the story sometimes literally thought someone had broken into their own residence.

So I wouldn't be at all surprised if a lot of those empty homes being squatted in are felt as personal attacks and violations by the absentee owner, which would make it feel like a much bigger problem for individuals if you move in circles where people own empty properties.

> What's "outrageous" about Musk's wealth?

Aside from everything?!

I’ll bite.

1) He’s an individual yet his wealth surpasses the GDP of entire nations.

2) The market caps of his companies that informs that wealth are wildly and recklessly speculative. The company that innovated in its space is worth 1/3 of the company that has consistently oversold or completely failed to make good on promises(which frankly they all do regardless of their innovative effect).

3) And still, he’s currently holding one of his companies for ransom for even more.

> He built companies that provide breakthrough goods and services.

I must have misunderstood why his companies hired all of those employees.

Were they all just there cheering him on as he built it all himself?
In a recent press release [1] the USDT said "According to the Department of Justice, LockBit has targeted over 2,500 victims worldwide".

The fact that St Michael's Mount is on this line is enough to show that it is nonsense. It's an unbelievably lovely place and it was a site for pilgrims, but its ecclesiastical connection to St Michael is relatively weedy; a brief period of time.

> Isn't the US a colonialist project from its beginning? Isn't Canada? Isn't all of South and Central America? Australia? New Zealand? Jordan? Saudi Arabia? and the list go on.

I mean, yes? And while in a better world we'd have proper solutions to that that would render unto these various peoples the land that was unjustly stolen from them, that is neither practical nor realistically achievable (undoing everything done to America and sending all Americans back to the various places they came from is quite a logistical undertaking, and we've decimated the various native populations to a degree where re-settlement would take quite a long time). Fortunately the vast majority of exploited peoples, Palestinian and otherwise, share a commonality with the vast majority of the rest of humanity; they don't want revenge or domination, they simply want to exist free of oppression, which is quite a bit easier to do (though not easy thanks to entrenched settler supremacist ideas worldwide).

So, stop spreading propaganda that they're inferior, stop excluding them from the halls of power, let them participate in determining the destiny of their societies, give reparations, etc. etc. I don't know if these things will be enough for all of these groups, they were harmed in different ways and the wounds are in different states, but it certainly beats what we've done so far, which is status quo while endlessly debating it.

Yup... actually the linked Wikipedia page doesn't use the word "cathedrals", but they are remarkable in other ways (long history, pilgrimage sites etc.). Ok, Skellig Michael is now remembered mainly for being Luke Skywalker's island in Star Wars VII/VIII, but still...
Maybe my question was not right then. But my question was how likely is it that 7 randomly chosen points fall within a given 50 km band across europe. Because I want to test the hypotheses that the 7 cathedrals fall randomly in line that we see. And that one random point falls in that band is not 1.
In theory, they've been working on one for 7+ years:

Same here. Not a fair move from Musk, but I guess he needs to use all tricks to bring some users back to X (did someone say porn?). I'll watch it later on other channels.
Their ARM boxes are still a bit cheaper, but with the Intel prices being that close now it's probably worth the small premium just to not have to juggle two different architectures for container images.

Unless you're an all-Mac shop I suppose, then ARM servers would be the path of least resistance.

I'm not sure how true that is. I was part of an ESA project around ~2009, and some of my friends are in the space industry. It seems to be mostly private sector companies working together with ESA. You're right that it's not the same as SpaceX, but I don't think it's the case that ESA isn't "letting" private companies innovate.
It's a type of apophenia.
Yes and no. DXVK didn't happen on top of opengl as the impendence mismatch between OpenGL and DX is too large. Wine had working but slow DX9 to OGL; incomplete, buggy and slow DX11 to OGL; and no hope for DX12 to OGL. DX9, DX11 and DX12 are all much easier (but not easy, mind) to map to Vulkan.

As Steam Deck is running AMD, a conversion layer on top of Mesa Gallium would have been possible, but again DX12 support never materialized.
Urban area crime reduction starting around the 90s led to most movement back. The dual income job requirements just make it stickier and create a feedback system of higher housing prices. (which require more dual incomes...)

As soon as that dual income want kids and can afford it on a signal income in suburbia, they'll take it most of the time.

Sure both projects have their own potentials and use cases.

My comment is more about how Twitter is misused.
Believe me. It has felt like years.
Sure, the comment I replied to said it would barely affect sales. If you are saying that it is just one feature among many, I agree.

I mean, no successful computer system is sold based on just one single feature. So, I suppose skimping on this particular feature out wouldn’t kill Apple. But I think they’ve identified somewhere where they have a fundamental advantage where their main competition, Google, an ad company, has trouble responding.

> The most important thing in their ads isn't exactly what they're touting (privacy features), but that they're keeping themselves in peoples' minds and making them feel good somehow.

I don’t really see the difference… I mean, making people feel good about their products and buy them is the intended outcome of most companies’ moves. The features are how they so that. They can’t be ranked in terms of importance, one is the goal, the other is the means.
I’m also handling the interviewing process at a small company and I’m completely confused as to what you are having a problem with. How else would you do your first round of filtering without something like a CV? Is there a format you think would be better?

Honestly I care very little about how the CV is laid out/formatted. As long as I can parse (with my eyeballs) your work history, dates, and the tech you used then I have enough to make my decision.

The only CV that almost made me reject the candidate outright was a pdf that was not searchable. I’ll read the full CV of everyone I actually interview but if you don’t have at least some tech overlap with the stack I’m hiring for (or equivalent, such as I’m looking for Vue but if you have recent Angular/React then we will be fine) then I’m not going to waste my or your time.

If I can’t ctrl+f in your resume then you’ve failed.
> Supply and demand don't exactly work on an inelastic market like rent.

I used to set my properties rent to be competitive with the other rentals in the area. In would vary a lot - sometimes more sometimes less. At this point there are so many companies setting price with subscription services that prices always go up.

> Landlords, on the other hand, can accumulate, and leave properties empty,

In a healthy market this strategy will leave small landlords bankrupt. The problem right now is that the small landlords can play along with big property management companies on price collusion.
It reminded me too of Star Trek's "A Taste of Armageddon". Not the same, but a computer simulated "civilized" war.
And much more importantly for ooencl's success, poor compatibility of OpenCL implementations on Nvidia hardware by Nvidia + Microsoft platform-level software

Eg, opencl on Nvidia GPUs for windows is/was missing (I have a many-year GitHub issue with them + Microsoft), which matters for individuals, and Nvidia does not support OpenCL for its core convenience analytics libraries like the RAPIDS Python ecosystem, which is core to its massive data center market. We initially built for compatibility/distribution, but it didn't matter: That gap closed a lot of doors for us as a small ISV choosing what & how to build, and in turn, ultimately prevents our customers from buying AMD, Intel, etc

I'm not up to snuff on whether that qualifies as using its position anti-competitively anywhere, but it's a real market issue
