Sounds more like autocracy to me. Whether or not you want to have a vaccine or not is irrelevant to the fact that wanting a government to coerce people into a medical treatment is a Pandora's box I'm not sure we should really be s

Why? What makes you believe there is any advantage in these particular individuals? Frankly, is it coming to the point where we have to say it's too dangerous for men and women to work together? Dangerous for individuals and companies

I don't think it started with Atatürk at all. The Ottomans were trying to follow a more European model for quite some time before WW1. Hence their close relation with Germany and folly of entering WW1.

Yikes, I've liked some of Alan's talks but I think he's gone a little of the deep end with this one. For me responsibility is a key component of getting shit done. You do need an environment where fear is driven or so that if

I've been giving this some thought recently. Ultimately I blame Scrum, it is so poorly aligned with sustainable software engineering and so widely open to interpretation that its no wonder that every project seems to inevitably end in

The size of the fine illustrates a sort of perversity here. If paid who's actually getting the money the state or the victims (family of the deceased). I'm quite sure many will think blood money abhorrent but why should the state

For me the story was amazing. At the time it added so much depth to the Empire it was really a stand out game experience for on the same level as Half Life. Interesting contrast between the antagonists in this era of star wars compared to D

This is such a moronic statement. If you really really want to limit population then limiting the number of children is a absolutely terrible and potentially catastrophic way of doing it. Who is going to replace and look after that rapidly

I think that to say developers should not be interest or responsible for quality is most certainly a cop out, there can and should be a level of pride of workmanship that is focused on the customer. The main challenge with software is the p

Because it's more to do with weak typing as opposed to dynamic typing. Many dynamic languages are strongly typed.

I can pretty much guarantee Valve has hierarchy it just maybe more implicit than an overt org chart. There will be leaders and there will be followers, almost guaranteed. Hierarchy will naturally appear in some form as we try to achieve som

Of course we'll survive there is no scientific basis for apocalyptic alarmist nonsense that says "heed thee the end is nigh because you drive a car". There may be other reasons to switch to different energy sources but some e

Statistically next to nobody goes from anywhere to billionaire. There are 2,755 billionaires in the world and 7.6 billion individuals, thats around 2.7 million to one. Not great odds for anyone to be frank. Also is it any wonder people beli

I recently got turned down from a team lead role at AWS and the only feedback i got was that I seemed technically strong and understood performance management in theory but had not performance managed enough members of my team. The problem

What valid points, mass murder or some space station from a movie? It was the same old nonsense with no actual solutions.

In the west it's common to take an overly reductive view and start throwing labels around as if they actually mean anything. Wahhabist is not really actually something anyone would refer to themselves as. It seems to refer to really an

Yes, though this also is my point. That Nazi government had a lot of individuals that were experienced in governance. I'm not talking about rallying people to cause but rather ensuring municipal activity is happening regularly and that

Which was always the reason I thought there was more to ISIS than the western portrait of a group of extremist ideologues. State construction and maintenance is not a trivial thing and their are not the sort of skills you stumble upon with

But the point is that recall based examination may be discriminatory against males, it's an institutional requirement as a form on entrance requirements and therefore would require affirmative action. I don't necessarily agree wit

This very much echoes Dr. Edward Deming's thoughts on incentives and measurements. Deming emphasized unlocking peoples intrinsic desire to do a good job rather than fixating on extrinsic motivators such as bonuses and salaries. He also

People will pay, just indirectly. Pricing is a great signal for economic optimisation but if there is really nothing to be optimised as these services essentially run as monopolies then maybe this approach on balance comes out better for al

And what will likely happen is that as with now Recycle will be the choice. It's the less efficient of the 3 Rs; Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. There was actually an order to those but we've tended to skip past the two meaningful acti

Even so, some one has to pay, and the government wouldn't be keen on just handing out free fuel either.

Men and women just on average look for different things. The reality is that young women are more attractive to men, with youthful looks, an innocence and potentially more submissive. Conversely older men tend to be more emotionally mature

Of course political terrorists can be negotiated with, they have an agenda and stated goals. You might not like it but they're not actually mad they just use means you are not comfortable being brought to bear so close to home.

Astra is hard sell to people under 50, and is looking less effective against variants. The cost of Pfizer is a lot more than the per shot cost, you need highly specialised storage and distribution due to the low temperature requirements.

But it's such a nonsense strategy, there is no way that this will provide eradication, covid is just too virulent and not deadly enough, it will remain in small pockets, remember there will be many countries that won't be able to
