I think that if a dev think that they will not do whatever without guidance, THEY need to be replaced by better devs. It's just mathematical: the possibility of interpretation of a solution is just very very big. It's not even a m

But I thought the daily scrum is to give an opportunity to communicate and realign. I'm not a developer (I'm a scientist working in R&D that then needs to be implemented by developers), but I've participated to plenty of

From very early in the conversation I've said, quote, "Let's be clear: I'm not saying that your claims are fundamentally incorrect". Since the beginning, I've been clear: it's just bullshit to pretend that

Then explain me then. Either you are pretending that German propaganda has an impact or you are not. If you say it has, then, it means you say that indeed the simple facts around the Heinrich Böll Foundation imply it is propaganda. But enou

And yet, in France, RTE, the grid supervisor, itself subcompany of EDF who owns the nuclear plants, keeps publishing reports saying that if France does not up their solar generation there is no way the grid works in the future with increase

One interesting element is that, while solar needs storage, nuclear needs storage too: the demand is not flat, and become more and more non-flat when decarbonizing the energy sector. For the nuclear, there are two possibilities: 1) over-bui

"Ad nominem" is saying "this argument is wrong because this person is bad". Here, what I'm saying is that the arguments are wrong because they are simplistic, looks unbalanced and don't correspond to what peopl

I keep seeing people saying that kind of things, and at the same time, seeing _professional_ in the sector all agreeing that the way France managed their infrastructure was terrible. It does not mean a nuclear pathway is not good. But it re

The electricity prices argument is very simplistic. What drive electricity prices is very complicated, and sometimes misleading (in France, the low electricity price is a huge mistake, they are not collecting enough money for the medium and

Calm down. For example, a good basis would be statistics: how many past studies have been reproduced and confirmed that they proposed the correct conclusion? If you take 1000 past studies that were later reproduced by an independent team an

I'm not sure you can say if the trust is overestimated or not based on the fact that "yes/no" decision are close to 100% in favor of trusting each study. Let's imagine you distrust a lot: you believe that a study ha

But "not giving beta blockers" is also a decision. In that context, there is no "we can freeze time for the rest of the world while scientists add new studies", you have to choose. Imagine a parallel universe where beta

First, I'm not sure that the 800,000 deaths are due to the medical guidelines themselves. If these guidelines were saying "we don't know, doctors still have to choose themselves", then the practitioners would have looked

So, please, explain to me, then. The first comment is saying that one reason to use that is just because some people think that the other term is misleading and reinforce a representation of the reality that does not correspond well to the

Are you serious? YOU are the one explaining what other have in their mind. I just tell you "maybe it's not so simple". And you get all virtue signaling, explaining that everyone who dares not agreeing with you can only be a b

Not a native speaker, but while I would not have reacted, it is strange to use a term some negatively connoted instead of "Chinese man". I think the Englishman comparison is not very smart. With the same logic, it's fine to u

The comment you reply to does a good job describing one goal of this usage. You can see virtue signaling in this behavior, and there may be a part of it, but that is not the only reason it is used and it's dicey to jump to the conclusi

Not sure how this interview contradicts what I was saying. All good ol' monarchist Scruton is doing is using politically correct language to explain that he likes the traditional balance of power and that he wants to maintain it. (and

Things are obviously not as simplistic. The left was also promoting something new: the renewable and less consumerist society where people are less wasteful with energy and more conscious about not screwing up the environment. Nuclear is an

I think it is acknowledged in the energy sector that France drove itself in a dead-end (and I'm not sure how they are going to get out of it). There was a lot of reasons, including their botched electricity nationalization and the fact

While this study is very interesting, the way the Energiewende itself was applied was also not ideal. Some of the steps in the Energiewende were not applied properly, probably because the German government at the time was center-right and h

You are right, it is more cumbersome, but it is worth doing it if people have played a lot and they start to unconsciously remember the "weird pattern", which is basically ruining the game. I would say the printed card can be used
