It is not difficult to fake (e.g. China for the last 20 years). But I agree with you, we should add new metrics (and targets) but keep a GDP as one of them, also for the other indicators to mature (how they are measure, methodologies, trans

May I also suggested City Skylines on the switch? It has a great addiction management feature called high RAM usage, so when your city reaches 200k citizens the game will force close repeatedly on you.

This article takes me back to a time when I worked in Revenue Management for an airline. Amadeus was one of my mains tools. One interesting aspect of the GDS is that they made efforts to have a better GUI, with point and click options, to f

Do people here from outside the US think this is the case everywhere? Because I'm from Latin America (more specifically Brazil) and I don't think ignoring the lower paid staff is the status quo. Actually it is considered pretty ru

Newbie question, how do you know how many nodes are under the same entity, to avoid somebody compromising the distributed system?

I don't have access to the paper but I wonder how they define "Love". Is it sexual attractiveness? Is it the sensation of deep care for the other person? I believe those are different processes (thank god!) in our brain...

I was working for a large (American) integrator in Brazil leading a commerce development practice and had a very hard time finding developers in 2021 mainly because so many of them were working for companies in the US and earning 4x what th

Not very hopeful on this working out without merging institutions (central banks, etc..) and laws, which, of course, are much harder to get agreement to.

I assume you'll have a cryptographic key to state that a DID belongs to you. But what happens if that key get lost/stolen? You lose all you online presence with no way to recover it?

But usually the customer is the one prioritizing the backlog no? At least in all the project I've worked in the PO was always on the customer side.

You said it perfectly. When I read "Agile Model" I could already see it, Accenture signing a Time & Materials contract, giving no shit about the badly detailed scope on the clients side (after all this means more hours), and s

Felt the same way. Some off the shelf algorithms would do wonders here. More sophisticated ML to tag (image and themes) would be awesomely overkill.

The problem is not the AB testing, as it can be a good thing to improve the experience, the problem is poorly set, short sighted, OKRs. The author points that in the text, as he mentions many times that the leadership never asks the right q

The patent thing is just another of the shenanigans of IBM, the company pays you a premium if you get a patent approved and people just patent away whatever shitty thing they invent to get that incentive. It is just a numbers game that they

100% agree with your view. But it is sad to see it happening from inside specially all the politics and shenanigans related to it. As I said in another comment IBM has some good talent inside and it is a shame to see them wasting their time

Sorry, maybe I was not clear enough. My point is that age is not the problem, but company tenure is (not for all, but for most). Specially on those who managed to survive the corporate darwinism (by operating the company's red tape and

Yes exactly. The symptoms are mainly causes by the posse of old timers in the leadership, which BTW remains after Whitehurst, the only hope of change, left. This was one of the motivators of me leaving as well, as I didn't see any chan

Nobody is overpaid. Salaries, live everything else, follow a trend of Supply and Demand. Currently SWEs are on high demand pretty much everywhere in the world and salaries reflect that. What should we do? Educate/Train more SWEs!

Being an ex-IBMer let me say that the old timers are part of why IBM has stalled. But I don't mean that happens because of their age, but because of how long they are in the company and also how comfortable they are with all the non-se

I love this one, sad that it doesn't have any new episodes for some time now. Sort of related: I also do recommend the very excellent Pirate History Podcast.
