Nope. Politicians, celebrities aka „public figures“ do not have the same rights to privacy. (due widely judicially established consensus in human rights/constitutional „continetal european law“). Therefore private person has judicially enforceable right for protect his private life to higher extend than public figures.

More often many European countries would not prohibit public display of “personal data” such as name, home address etc. Not only concerning all crime victims and children, but often also court rulings while being public, are published in such way, that names and other personal data is removed.
So when you’d google a name of a person, public court ruling proclaiming foreclosure of his property would not appear in the search result, while some blog/news outlet could. The ruling only reacts to reality of modern day, that information doesn’t disappear. So while 50 years ago (or as today) the article about someone’s foreclosure would still be reachable in newspaper archives, library etc., but not via two seconds by googling. So if the right to privacy ought to be a real “human right” it needs to be effectively pursuable, so court seeks an approach when there is no reason to delete the newspaper article (it’s not fraudulent or slanderous”) but it’s digital trace via search engine interferes with one’s right to privacy.

I anticipate that EU, or individual countries will react by enacting/changing laws how to procedurally enforce that newly established right. How and when to file such request for removal of search result.
I think more and more people realize this. The four original value statements from the Agile Manifesto are mentioned far too infrequently compared to all the processes and tools peddled by various agile salespeople.

A friend of mine recently asked me to give a short presentation to a few developers working at his small software company. He suggested that Agile may be a good subject and we spent an hour discussing how his developers analyse, design, code and test their projects so that I could give a relevant talk. It turned out that what they were doing was naturally very close to agile development and the whole talk would have been a waste of everyone's time. I just gave him the link http://agilemanifesto.org and ended up talking about XSS.
Services: Introducing a New Role into the Ember Programming Model
And the pull request: https://github.com/emberjs/ember.js/pull/4861
React with a simple router and perhaps some help with your models (Flux or Backbone) might be enough for your needs. Any user behavior that requires new data could be an ajax call that passes back the entire state of the current 'page', which could then replace the state of top-level component (since you want most of your state to reside there anyways). React takes over from there. You'd be relying mostly on your server-side framework for the logic.

You could then incrementally add logic client-side to improve performance, if that's necessary (if the state object becomes too large, for example).
> Pair programming - free training for junior developers, a waste of time for senior developers.

I disagree. That's not how you build a team. Also, senior developers who can't pair program, aren't senior developers. That means you can't communicate, or at least you don't want to, even if it's talking about code you don't want to. That's not how you become a lead/architect.

For patients contemplating cosmetic surgery, researching procedures is essential. Viewing before and after plastic surgery photos is also helpful in determining what to expect following cosmetic eye surgery. To understand the full recovery process, surgeons discuss with patients the need to wait to start participating in sports for a few weeks. Additionally, vision changes stabilize after the first week or two. However, vision issues can continue over the first couple of months following surgery. Understanding that before and after plastic surgery photos do not depict immediate results is critical to the healing process. Ultimately the procedure results in a rested, refreshed and alert appearance for many patients. Taking precautions to choose a licensed, board-certified plastic surgeon is vital to assure a positive outcome and the safety of the patient. That said the best recommendation for a starting point comes from previous patients offering guidance and suggestions that come from experience.
> You mean religion of "tolerance", or "multiculturalism" ?

You might want to read up on modern scientific theories on the subject. There is no need to outlaw that, as it cannot survive, except for very brief periods. Human minds are copy machines. This will cause different religions/ideologies, where they converge to clash and only a single one can survive (because they don't mix, at all, google "Island species" for why this doesn't happen), except through artificial barriers. Racism is but one such barrier. Geography is another.

As anyone who's travelled around a bit and talked a bit with youths in 2 remote parts of the world knows perfectly well, all cultures are converging into a single one. It may not be entirely clear which one is to win, but the variety of half a century ago is dead and done for.

What's depressing is that none of the realistic candidates are the least bit tolerant. Even the "liberal" candidate ideology has much, much less tolerance for alternative opinions (never mind actual differences) than the environment I grew up in. The other alternatives are much, much worse, and will directly attack you if you're so much as suspected of having different opinions, as any blogger e.g. in the middle east can testify (my favorite "the big pharaoh").

So no, I mean another religion that needs to be destroyed. If you think that the constant terror acts will actually turn people away from this religion, you urgently need to open up the history books.

If you think the future of the religion looks anything different from constant war, genocide, terror and misery for the people following the religion, you need to answer one very, very hard question : given that it has constantly caused these things for 1300+ years now, why would it be different this time round ? Please note that the environment where this faith was created was very, very advanced and tolerant, like our society. Example : Egypt, Africa (which was a province of the Roman Empire back then, not the entire continent). It was eaten alive and turned into the repressive hell-hole in ~150 years, and remained a repressive hell-hole right up to today. The only liberating influence was colonialism, and we all know how exactly the liberation happened : lots of guns.

Preventing this from happening again is something that justifies almost any amount of violence.

As a European I wouldn't blame the unions there; the right to an arbitration hearing when you're accused of misconduct does not seem unreasonable. What else would you do, allow anyone to just be fired on the principal's say-so?

The real problem seems to be that the arbitration proceedings in NYC take years - partly because NYC isn't paying the arbitrators (in contrast to the union, which is paying its half of the arbitrator wages). How is that the union's fault?

It's not a viable product people would pay for, but I think it would be interesting as an education/academic language. There is a niche I would like to see filled for a language with data storage built-into it, but at a lower level than your SQL database's query planner. WINRPG is too expensive for a hobbiest.

I appreciate what I learned from RPG-IV (never had to deal with "the cycle") and the "i" environment. If upcoming programmers had to learn to deal with their data using only loops, READ, and CHAIN commands, we'd see much better designed and optimized databases. This could fill a missing link in some CS education between building a file based index and designing a database in a RDBMS.

I gave thought to starting something similar. My starting point would have been trying to hook into the Sqlite Virtual Databse Engine (http://www.sqlite.org/vdbe.html) or the Postgres equivalent since those seemed the closest open source equivalents to an RPG program running on LUW systems.
>The problem is a failed economy and no rule of law.

You obviously have no clue about the real happenings of Somalia. The standards of living, core metrics like life expectancy, all of them really except school enrollment, have increased despite being anarchic for the last 20+ years. In comparison to neighbors like Ethiopia, Somalia is doing well. If you look at mobile adoption and access to tech, the improvement in Somalia outshadows most other African countries.

There is the rule of law where Xeer is used. Xeer is suppressed only in the area of the south where war is being waged between UN insurgents and al-Shabaab fighters. The rest of the country beyond Galkayo (Puntland and Somaliland) is not a "failed economy" by any measure besides the faulty assumption that an economy requires strict intervention in a western-progressive style.

The problem with schools in a place like Newark is that they serve as a rare source of economic opportunity in an otherwise shithole neighborhood. Schools are a font of money in a place where almost every other economic activity is illegal.

That's why reforming a school is a shit show. Its the place where everyone is feeding at the teat.

Here is one possible solution for a billionaire to try. It won't work for anything but a tiny minority of students at the moment, but it will shine a light on how our education problems are a problem of the education bureaucracy, and not of the students.

Set up a magnate boarding school, outside of the city (perhaps even outside the state). Run it EXACTLY the way you want to run it. Let anyone apply. Give admission based on a lottery ... not on the basis of an examination ... so no one can accuse you of taking only the best kids.

Offer free room/board/education.

Start only with first graders. Then add a grade, every year, as your first class ages. In 12 years you will graduate your first class of students.

Hire the best teachers. Spend a lot on infrastructure. Teach programming/science/technology. Make partnerships with the best universities. Get internships for your students in start ups and companies, using your connections. Maybe your own company can hire some of them.

Show the world what kids from an inner city failed neighborhood can do, without the interference of these teachers and their unions.

When your kids succeed, however spectacularly, or modestly, that will be a beacon.

Encourage your graduates to give back to the school. You will still hemorrhage cash every year, it may never be sustainable without your continued involvement ... but it would be the kind of experiment that would leave an impact for decades ... and if you succeeded in making it sustainable, maybe for centuries.

I think the important thing to keep in mind is that while Agile principles may sometimes be commonly well served by certain sets of practices or processes, the practices/processes themselves are usually not Agile (except for the high-level process of evaluating and selecting processes -- Agile is about choosing the process that works for the actual set of people you have, not about choosing process based on considerations outside of the work groups ability to produce quality software.)

The ossification of Agile into a set of cargo cult practices divorced from the particular teams and their needs flips Agile into exactly what it was a reaction against.

Why would one need a conference to discuss a process that should be explainable in 5 minutes. If you can't reasonably explain your development process (agile or not) in 5 minutes, it's broken. If it takes you hours to explain your process, how many days does it take to implement and how much time is left over for actual development? I think most developers see through the bullshit of certified scrum masters and other such nonsense and its detrimental effect on productivity and don't want to waste even more time on this.

So very true, and that's what makes it so depressing. I believe many of the problems with schools are structurally unfixable because there's a powerful network effect with - for lack of a better phrase - "good people". The good ones want to be with other good ones, naturally. So they all move to certain suburbs and neighborhoods, and the result is a segregation of good and bad folks. And of course, breaking the cycle of bad parenting often times seems nearly impossible...
Lean, applied to software, would mean that the software team can see opportunities to improve their process and/or tools, and would have the power to do so.

I've actually been on a team that did this. "For the next two-week iteration, we're going to change the process in this way, and we'll see how that works."

Process doesn't have to be a static thing handed down from on high. Hack it. Make it work for you. (One of the agile approaches to software is "pay attention to pain". That is, when it's hard to change the software in some way, that's telling you that it should be refactored so that it quits being hard to change it in that way. Well, the same thing works for process. If the process is painful, pay attention. It's telling you that you need to change the process.)

> I don't like how unions have co-opted the narrative to "Just pay us more and we'll finally do our jobs right"

They're probably even less happy about the right-wing has co-opted the narrative that the problems in education are caused by the teachers.

Teaching is a challenging job which requires an advanced degree, very long hours with no flexibility, low pay even before you adjust for true hours worked, and you are given very little professional discretion. Do you really think you're going to get better results by putting even more pressure on things which teachers have only marginal control over[1] rather than simply encouraging more teachers to leave?

To put some facts into the discussion: this assessment by the American Statistical Association found that teachers are responsible for 1 to 14% of student's test score variance:

http://www.amstat.org/policy/pdfs/ASA_VAM_Statement.pdf

Follow Amdahl's law: even if you could load the school up with the best teachers on the planet, lavish pay, fully merit-based, etc. you're not going to see the kind of improvements you're claiming.

The problems start outside of the classroom and need to be fixed there.

"There's no reason to be in callback hell if you use an asynchronous control flow library"

There's no good reason to pile flawed layers on top of eachother. If you have a fully yieldable/resumable VM (e.g. Lua), you can just solve the problem properly in the first place, in a way that doesn't then require a second or third layer of workarounds to be usable.
Amen. I'd add that while JS is great for form validation, trying to make it into a first class language is a bit laughable. For example, if you want to define a function in a namespace, it's up to you which half dozen "patterns" you use to emulate namespaces in the language that lacks them. Same goes for private method/variables, continuations, classes... or more features of other common language. Add to that the type coercion cluster and the ability for attackers to redefine core language types (make 1 evaluate to false) and JS is still a bit of a anything goes wild west of a language (first class functions are fun).

FWIW, I've written a few 100KLoC of production JS code, but man, I'd really rather use Java/C#/PHP as everyone in JS land has to bend over backwards to try to have the features that are standard out of the box in other languages.
