Being at the office is work. Being around, being available to inquiries, questions, support, anything, is work. Even taking a coffee break and a nap in between two active coding sessions is work - if only because those two sessions are rela

That begs the interesting question that is: what are the worthwhile alternative/competition to Wikipedia today? In the past, we had competing dictionaries, encyclopedias, where the multiparties existence was a concrete reminder of chec

It does not matter in the sense that it does create fertile ground for disruption by enabling bubbles of people to form and ostracize each other. It does matter in the sense that what is built on lies, besides being immoral, is unproductive

Correlated only, the race to space (& moon) was essentially called off? - feasability (putting a human in space, and on the moon) was demonstrated - equivalence between Russia and America was set - there was no big price left within rea

Oh yes they do. And were very happy with it until they understood the nature of social media is not to connect people, but to socialize them into bubbles that become antagonists to each other. In corrupt places as well as democratic, peacef

It's a complement not an opposite. It's exactly like properly/cleverly documenting your code/project: not only for others now or in a few year, but also for yourself later on. It's having common rules across teams t

And what happens when they (or the most competent elements of them) leave? You will need to do in a rush what could have been prepared before. A whole business takes that into account as importantly as their disaster recovery processes (whi

Plus, building a custom solution can be a necessary first step for your team to research and better understand the problem, and then be able to identify off-the-shelf solutions they can use instead.

Yes, and in the long term, it's always better/more scalable/efficient to be disciplined enough to be able to have someone on call who has not designed/written the thing running.

Acquiring the assets without the liabilities makes no sense. Does it legally?

Interesting but seemingly absurd discussion that starts from the point where utilitarianism would be a consistent, valid, foolproof theory without limitations or critiques (which it is not - see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki

It nowhere implies a "liberation", but more an "encounter" (as a matter of fact, not of ethics).

Hmmm it might be morally right not to deliver. It all depends on the impact and finality of what your delivery will serve to (and that you know of).

YMMV but on our side, at some point in our life, we resorted to decide on at least one mandatory full minute (60 secs) hug every morning and possibly anytime the other asks for it. Just this, as small and simple as a one minute hug made a h

Yes in principle. And then you need to have the means to efficiently defend it against any contestant. Having provable timestamped prior usage/publication/sale/distribution can be enough. Having a public registration office s

It's massively inefficient, but it's also still massively safe in comparison, regarding soveignerity. Like, today, given the political uncertainty in the USA, any large company would be nuts to bet on hosting their critical servic

The good thing with theorizing with it are the conversations that this triggers. :)

What the article seems to notice is that some parts of a civilization succeed to institutionalize themselves (and gain momentum over others thanks to it) and some don't. In a very sketchy way: - you may have excellent scientists and pr

Or "People with access to more information but with less education how to discriminate and make something of it become less likely to trust anyone." The issue is not that people get manipulated into believing this or that side. It

How? Work with them. Pay them enough as they don't have to think about it. Objective metrics are good if you think you can measure accurately for all individuals at the macro level. You may not need that (I mean, really _need_ it for y

Actually, they should be judged by what they can and do contribute to the team, whatever that is. Skills is a subset of that.
