I would use a cliche: be yourself. As in be how you would be with any business partner. Be polite. Be open to suggestions and critic. But just as you would not cut an unfair deal with another business partner: do not cut an unfair deal with an investor.

Investors unlikely like pushovers. Also there is shortage of great investment opportunities: especially in growth capital stage. So if you have got there (1-5 mn+ revenue) you are in a sweet spot.
Sorry, this is way too vague to be worth of anything. After all, a lot of the cypherpunks movement was in love with decentralized money, but only one gal, guy or group made something usable out of this.
>> "Under 2.4, can we have more jobs in the jobstore and is the console more optimized?"

I agree with this. You create a plan so you have an idea when the project will finish, when resources will become free, when you deliver to other dependent teams etc. That doesn't mean the plan is cast in stone and once the Gantt Chart is finished, it never changes.

Obviously, you do what you can with scope, resource moving, etc to keep to original dates but if you can't, then the plan should be updated to reflect reality.
The first step is admitting that you have 2^N problems.
Well, you'll have to be more specific than 'being responsive' and 'large amounts of I/O' for anyone to make sense out of your statement :)
16 Online JavaScript Editors for Web Developers
The problem is that there are a lot of people who don't organize themselves, and need some sort of structure. So maybe they're not so suitable for agile development, and maybe you shouldn't hire them, but that really limits the labour pool, and in the end, someone is going to hire those people. We still need a way to make those people productive.

And they should be hired; they're often perfectly competent programmers, testers, etc, just not so good at working effectively with this kind of agility.
Yes I believe you make a valid point. However the point of the tech demo was to show off the LODing, and the fog distance in my opinion was way too close, thus inbiting the work the author had done.

It's not that they've destroyed the essence of the manifesto, it's that the organization is simply inherently not agile, and incapable of dealing with agility. This is pretty common for large organizations (thought there are also a lot where it kind of works). Their real problem isn't so much the introduction of Scrum, it's changing the very nature and culture of their organization. They should focus on that first, and then Scrum will follow naturally.

> Personally I find that this line "Responding to Change over Following a Plan" does much more harm than good. It should read "You should have a plan but should rather be prepared to change it constantly than stick with it dogmatically".

For all the points in the Agile Manifesto, the right hand term isn't bad at all. It's a good and important thing, but the left hand term is even more important. Plans and processes (in a large organization) are definitely important, but they should never trump change and people. Documentation is also important, just not as important as working code. Contract negotiation is unavoidably important in any business environment, but don't let it get in the way of cooperation.
Nice. PI's built in audio processing is extremely crappy and the analog 3.5mm output is almost unusable for music.
An official service can improve on a pirate service in terms of reliability, speed, quality, security and ethical considerations. There is some real value in instant access to guaranteed high definition good quality videos that are free from viruses. I suppose an unscrupulous operator could even spend some effort flooding the pirate service with poor quality, corrupted data, so as to make their own service more valuable.

Funny how this post made me realize I've often been confronted with people wanting to implement 'agile' by imposing us to follow strict processes. I'd never seen it that way, even if the irony is pretty obvious.
Okay, Crake, I've got three questions for you:

1) Have you read the Christian holy text? I don't expect you to have read everything, but if you're going to make the claim that you did, you should have at least read the New Testament and the Pentateuch.

2) Could you please explain, in your own words, what the New Testament says about the laws presented in the Old Testament? Specifically, I'd love to know how you interpret Mark 2, Acts 10, Acts 15, and the book of Galatians, especially Galatians 2. Considering that Jesus himself didn't obey all of the Jewish civil and ritual laws (see Mark 2) yet proclaimed himself to be sinless, on what basis do you claim that Jesus teaches that Christians should obey the civil and ritual laws?

3) Isn't it a little bit arrogant to make a specious claim, thus demonstrating that you don't understand the Christian bible, then immediately accuse Christians of not reading their own holy book?
Easy. It's legalese and much more subtle than this, but the general principle is :

"Either pay this or we instruct any bank with offices in Australia to refund all payments made to netflix at 150% retroactively for 10 years or cease operation in Australia"

This gives the banks themselves an incentive to go after netflix.

Will they go this far for netflix ? No way, I think, but that's one principle behind international enforcement.
Piqued.

FTFY
So simply analyse the situation a little bit. I am not a lawyer, and this is not a legal opinion, but I'm also not completely unaware of the law.

1) you are lying to netflix, which has you agree to a contract stating you will only watch from within the US.

You are violating a contract you've agreed to.

2) Netflix checks this, and you are explicitly using technical measures to successfully lie to netflix about your location, purposefully deceive a party you've contracted with in order to get out from under contract terms.

I believe this is fraud. If netflix can convince the police to take the case, you could go to jail for this. Advantage : only netflix can try to make them take the case, and they're unlikely to do so.

3) the content you're watching is licenced, with a licence stating it's watch within the US only.

This is copyright violation, or it's more popular term : piracy.

I would argue that watching netflix violating and circumventing their access controls is worse than torrenting.
> Actually there have been studies that have shown that while more money doesn't provide happiness, enough money is a pre-requisite. We're not talking a ton, we're talking enough to pay for food, shelter, and some basic form of entertainment.

True, but the amount of money required for this is not much. If you aren't picky where, and you have neough saved up to buy a house, you might be able to get by relatively well on $3000 a year in some parts of the world.

> Have you started a retail business?

I have helped.

Part of what you are talking about though is the cost in a more complex society of doing this. Now a bakery is not necessarily a retail business primarily. The most successful bakeries I know do both retail and wholesale baking. I think it would be impossible to get by really on only one side. People who want to buy your bread will come by, but you do not want to make everyone come to your store just to buy a loaf of bread. You have to get it in other stores.

So I don't think it is fair to call it just a retail business.

> However painting it with the rose-tinted glasses of "You get to interact with more people, get involved in your community, and people can taste the results of your work." belies the actual hard work that building a business is.

I think what you are missing though is that both programming and baking are ultimately about creatively making something. I don't mean just artistically. I mean it is about craft and seeing things come to life in your hands. Part of the question is who you answer to and how deep your hands are in it physically.

So no I don't see it as stupid to open up a bakery. As with any business you need to do your planning first, prepare for an extended period without profit, etc going in (and have capital investment of your own to make it work).
And now we start the social experiment:

What was it about your standups that were hurting your team?

I'm on the fence with daily standup meetings. they definitely can help a team communicate when there are a large number of external forces at play in a larger organization and if there are no underlying asynchronous communication channels available. on the other hand, in a team that communicates regularly with historical communications available to new team members, they aren't as useful.

By 'extensive VAT taxes', do you mean "VAT half that of the UK"? As for tariffs, why is it that some games on steam are the same price as elsewhere and others, usually AAA games, are price-gouging?

In any case, there are zero tariffs on digital goods between the US (where most games are made) and Australia, due to the free trade agreement. [1]

So, you have an environment where there is less tax on the goods than in the UK, yet the prices are higher. The answer is not "government has its finger in the pie". In fact, the GST at 10% isn't that far off sales tax across the US, which is generally 7-9%, so seriously, the answer really, really isn't "taxes".

At a previous client, I was sitting next to a really nice poster that emphasized the difference between "doing agile" and "being agile". You don't "do" agile. That's simply not a thing. You have to be agile.

Working with more agility is totally fine. But if you do that, it means you won't be sticking blindly to your existing process, it means you should consider what you actually need from that process.

Docker newbie here. (Actually, not even a newbie: Docker's on my to-play-with list but I've not got round to it yet.)

> Docker out of the box can now manipulate namespaces, control groups, capabilities, apparmor profiles, network interfaces and firewalling rules – all in a consistent and predictable way, and without depending on LXC or any other userland package. This drastically reduces the number of moving parts, and insulates Docker from the side-effects introduced across versions and distributions of LXC.

Does this mean Docker is no longer tied to Ubuntu, merely to any sufficiently modern Linux kernel? The install instructions still recommend Ubuntu.
I don't agree with a law limiting pricing on luxuries, which most software is. I also don't agree with stopping people from bitching about pain points, getting their message out there. Companies are free to price-gouge for non-essential items, and we're free to roast them for it.

I wish we had this also in the video production department. This might be the step towards the right direction, definitely going to donate to this campaign.

Your excerpt from the manifesto raises an interesting point, about "deadly" consequences of mistaking ambition for greed. At the same time, you call out specific people and imply they killed themselves because of their own greed.

Can you clarify whether you actually know that, or is that just, like, your opinion, man?

I'm not trying to imply that I know who Satoshi is. More that I have a hypothesis, and I'm not really too sure how to test it.

I'm not entirely sure that I would/should/could investigate it further anyway. Satoshi seems to value his or her privacy, and even if anyone had information that could piece that shield I'm not sure they should.

But meh.. like you say. I'm probably wrong anyway. OTOH.. how would someone verify something like this? As far as I can see there is no compelling way to do it, without Satoshi deciding to unmask themselves.

Introducing the new BBC iPlayer
Clojure programming might be more data-oriented than Haskell programming. I've never done any real-world Haskell programming, but I'd guess it'ld have a completely different feel.

The dynamic-typing means Clojure code is usually built around data-flows of maps/vectors/strings (generic information types that are trivial to integrate from different sources), trivial serialization, code-as-data.

I'd guess Haskell code is more likely to be built around abstractions based on the more powerful type system.

clojure.core.logic - a Prolog-like logic language that you can embed in the middle of a Clojure function - is a good example of something that is possible thanks to Clojure's lisp macros.

> Video editing is one of the few things that Linux really can't do well.

That's one of these bullshit blanket statements. Linux doesn't do video editing because it is an operating system. Its job is to provide a base for applications like video editors to run on. And video editors run no worse on linux than on other operating systems. A few seconds with google brings you a lot of articles about how well video editing works on linux: http://www.creativeplanetnetwork.com/dcp/news/linux-hollywoo...

What you meant to say is that the open source, freeware and consumer level video editors are lacking a bit.

But if we do buy the proposition that OO is a good idea for our domain, shouldn’t we ask ourselves why we aren’t using it for our classes?

"If X is a good thing, why aren't we using more X?" No. I've seen horribly convoluted and overly complex code written as a result of following this sort of dogma with things like design patterns. OOP can be incredibly useful when applied correctly, but don't think that it's a panacea or that "OOP-ness" is somehow directly correlated with code quality. Layers of abstraction and encapsulation are very good at hiding bugs too, and IMHO they're overrated.
