Banning alcohol would probably be a good start.

What an incredibly interesting, thought provoking and extremely long way to tell us that the “guilty don’t feel guilty, they learn not to”. Don’t get me wrong, you should absolutely read it.

I love how easy it is for enterprise organisations to make the smart moves once shit the fan. Two good choices for leadership both based on their previous work and the fact that they are new within Blizzard and aren’t tainted by the horribl

I think the scandals are more symptoms of the greater weakness within the company which may have a more permanent long term impact. I remember playing WoW back in the day and how great their European support was. It was groundbreaking reall

The more project management tools I have to work with, the less likely I am to work for or with a company. I have a somewhat similar stance on software architecture. Sure, I’m TOGAF certified but if you actually expect me to work with notat

Well, it’s sort of a hard issue isn’t it? Because as it turns out Mao was sort of right about the importance of controlling the story your society tells. I’d argue that we don’t actually have a problem with deliberate lying, but that we hav

Because they are an industry in their own. Project management is only valuable if it puts out a net positive in terms of time invested/gained. With Atlassian there is a very real risk that it’s going to be a net negative that you can’t

The insane rent increase is a more “modern” thing in European cities. I put modern in quotes because it still goes back more than 20 years, but in many places rent hasn’t increased much for the people with old leases. In some buildings the

If I type 日本女歌手紅蓮華 into google it gets me videos. I’d I type 紅蓮華 into Apple Music it gives me the song you mention as well as the artist LiSA. I’ve never searched for anything like it before, and I’m from Danish.

Scandinavians were in America during the viking period, but there isn’t any evidence that suggest they returned. You have to realise that a lot of the people who went that route weren’t “vikings” as such. Going viking was something you did,

We recently had a guy who spend 10 years infiltrating North Korea as part of making a documentary. He did things that were a lot more in violations of our sanctions against North Korea than giving a speech about things that are freely avail

How is going to jail for 20 years because a better way of fighting authoritarianism than escaping it? Yes, it can work, but in order for it to do that, it sort of requires the world to remember you next week. I’m not sure the world even car

I’m not going to defend the craziness of the American Government, but why would you go and do something that their treasury has specifically told you that you were not allowed to do? Hell, if you’re still dead set on doing what you think is

It’s not that hard is it? There recently was a study on the value of testing and best practices linked here on HN, that I of course can’t find now, where the researchers looked a thousands of projects. Over all there was no scientific proof

There are a lot of studies that show that being poor in western society is extremely mentally taxing. Of course there can be a lot of correlating factors that also impacts the difference between wealthy and poor. But I think that anyone who

Probably something new that’s worse than lootboxes as more and more of the world wises up to them. I get the jest, but hiring a former Zynga and EA executive seems like a pretty smart move to me. EA has sold people the same sports games eve

The standard in building is: “install this type of power outlet here”. Or “install power cables between a and x, capable of carrying a”. We have somewhat similar standards in software development. Like, “build this type of API here, capable

It happens with slow technologies that ought to have standards as well. I do work with OS2.eu (Danish public sector owned open source software organisation) and we recently brought the first project into multiple supplier territory. It’s a

Most engineering projects have standards. Not the cutting edge stuff, but most of it does. Many are from regulations and safety laws setting specifications for this and that, but some are simply there because they won by being the most popu

There are probably a few of us who simply disagree. The fact that there aren’t libraries for SQL is a huge advantage in my book, and I say that as someone who’s overseen his developers move more and more from C# to Python because it has lib

That’s why you use a huge piece of brown paper. That way you can also roll it up and save it for another day. It’s actually a methodology taught at Danish MBA schools called a brown paper exercise. Experience will quickly teach you to tape

I’m not a Trump supporter, but in the most recent Danish election, the platform that saw the most campaigning funds by all Danish political parties (and we elect quite a few) was Facebook. Most campaigning funds by a lot, mind you. This has

I’m not saying the platforms shouldn’t ban people for breaking their rules, I’m saying that they should be consistent and not just apply their rules when it is convenient for them to do so. I use Trump as an example because it’s the example

I remember the internet before social media. I don’t think we would be worse of if Facebook prevented people from commenting on posts, I think we would be better of. What you are describing is the dream scenario for me. It’s not free speech
