It's not really an ESL problem, that's an acronym that seems US specific in it's usage.

I don't think I suggested that someone should wait, just that the opportunity to talk about blockers (ask for help) was important. Each of the loops is about shortening the cycle before you discover problems. These are seen through the

It's disappointing that standups are used in this way. I don't know you and I don't know your team but this kind of approach to standups is probably wrecking your standups. The standup has it's roots in the agile manifes

It would be really great if team members / OP were highlighted in these Launch HN threads. It would really help understand the official nature of responses vs community discussion.

Firstly, congrats on launching. Hard work is hard. I don't want to be negative on your launch day, but at the same time feedback is important. 1. I couldn't see myself or the many agile/lean teams I've been part of using

No, I agree with that. I was more responding to the broader British Museum plundering in general (or receiving plunder). There is some benefit to spreading historical artifacts around to protect them over the long term (i.e. we can't k

While I was thinking the same thing, it's not clear to me that this particular example was stolen. I'm also torn, because one the one hand the plundered items the British Museum and other UK museums hold should be returned. On the

For the most part phone consumers don't really care about this though, at least not at the point of purchase. If you're going to offer a choice between easier repair and the newest feature, say a new camera sensor, and that makes

I've found the Yubikey to be an incredibly easy way to do 2FA. I use a usb-c nano version and it pretty much never leaves my mac (and the mac never leaves me). I've found it faster to do 2FA on a large number of tech websites. Jus

A good example here is 1Password, which stores passwords and also allows storing TOTP. Which means the something I know is stored in the same places as something I have. Granted it is protected by encryption, and another password, but it de

Yeah, I had a trouble with Wise (formerly transferwise), with a rather large payment. The annoying thing was they delayed the payment of the 10% deposit, I sent the contract, approved, and then a month later they held up the balance as well

Sure, and my experience is outside finance (more spam and fraud prevention). Even if it is government under the hood you have to know what you're accused of. Not American so I doubt the US political system is interested in hearing from

The worst part about these type of cases is not being able to get a straight answer. There is a whole subset of big tech that has taken the "you must be a fraudster therefore we can't unfuck the situation" approach to custome

Oh Agreed. A systems problem. A former company that I worked for wanted their customers (Real Estate Agents) to fill out profiles. They wanted the account managers to encourage this behaviour so they tied the bonus/commission to having

The problem with this argument is that it requires a good deal more effort than dropping off a garment. I have to list it somewhere and deal with inquiries and postage. How often to garments get thrown out because people don't have the

There is often a disconnect between management and lower levels. I suspect the store would probably get in trouble for this behaviour. Not least because it opens the company up to fines for false advertising (e.g. Australian Competition and

It does read like that unfortunately. I understand that you're trying to say that money doesn't give happiness in a more verbose way. It's just not true though (it's a popular adage, and has even had some scientific stud

I think my understanding of yak-shaving was more, can't get to the thing you were trying to do because of cascading blockers. Less distraction, and more unknown scope and complexity. I quite like the Malcolm in the Middle[0] example of
