Yes. My partner is working on a sub-topic, removing microplastics from laundry discharge water, and it is a huge and still undefined challenge. There is no magic pill. Even core definitions such as "what are microplastics" are und

Have you looked into price comparisons for homes in Japan vs Europe or the US? Something off-the-napkin such as "an average salary person would need 30 years to pay off an average unit" or the like? One thing that turned me off pr

What we haven't solved in the value creation equation is the people factor, whether in software, construction or medicine. It does get easier to address at scale. When applied to construction, the at-scale approach used to increase pre

Thank you for the kind words! I'm not decided on Spotify yet. I don't like their compensation model for artists, but, in fairness, i reviewed it years ago. Should give it another read at some point.

I don't like Agile when it's sold as such. I absolutely refuse to discuss Agile with certificate peddlers. SAFe is the worst of the bunch, with expiring certificates, they make money on renewal. I'm a developer now managing p

I love how there is an ongoing war between "the old guards" of agile and SAFe. Look up some of the rants, it's a great read. Certificate peddlers flaming each other. SAFe has a great, telling name though - it's designed

Do you have your commit history available in a public repository? I don't. Honestly, i'm paid for being a professional fuck-up. I just fix things quickly and support my team enough for us to bear the mutual guilt in silence.

Yes, but then, really, the fundamental popular software paradigm is not just unsanitized but unsanitary. The models for sanitary-by-design are there. It's just math. The core leadership behind inadequate decisions, often above th

This leaves a bad taste as to what the "forensics" could uncover just due to the open development model. It's nice to be the prophet of evident mistakes when the trail is easy to follow, even if you can't exactly master

Great job! If you are not a developer, what is your motivation for doing the tech side of the project? Are you looking to become one? You appear to have invested time to learn the tech. The reason I ask is HN is a great community that may p

Well, one way to examine the issue would be through systems complexity. The approach that is now out of fashion was cybernetics. Now sociophysics seems to be gaining ground. In a short and vulgar summary, any complex system or systems used
