In light of recent trends toward many more authors, I think it is worth revisiting scientific analysis of Ouija boards to look at how many participant processes arrive at a conclusion they find satisfactory without being aware of their own

It sounds quite possible that you have a lot of experience and if you have a better way to do some things it may cause them to have to change or threaten their authority.. You could try pre-investigating companies with very different method

It is time intensive but not particularly hard to collect data from job postings and types of exits start-ups eventually make. I find it hard to get a good quick estimation since it is hard not to think of key examples that fit my personal

I'm not sure the article captures the danger of forward risk well given the argument that Boeing and cost management practices have hijacked the approval process and design strategy, respectively, and the current inventory includes pla

It probably could be expressed in a more resource representative way, but being in their top 1% and therefore needing to negotiate a custom plan apparently only requires 2TB of monthly bandwidth.

IMO losing a project from an inexperienced developer that isn't yet integrated is a lesser problem than getting that project with no history and whole lot of random debugging experiments that went on long enough that they couldn't

Um, this is discussing a systematic recreation of the system of nepotism that plagues smaller communities where size is insufficient to have anonymity and therefore "accidents" like ticketing the sheriff's wife.

Keeping an OS private is virtually impossible, for the most part every engineer has access to every piece, so any intrusion is also likely access to current OS source. Rumors out of Google were a bit different about their search algorithm w

There's nothing wrong with a consulting model yet I wouldn't use code under their direct/complete control. Plenty of Apache Projects have members that are in consultant companies, their willingness to make changes for cash is

Elementary OS as a business was the two initial maintainers and that fell apart pretty spectacularly, plus a lot of the work was really not theirs they were just a distribution. Apache's model is the traditional one which isn't ag

The recent elementary OS melt down shows the problem with this path. Creating a business to act as a middle man creates a situation where no one can reach the people who want to do maintenance because business interests will develop and wan

You seem to be talking about long term underproduction. In the Irish case, the subsistence farmers would have been devastated by a US overproduction even before a famine, similar to subsistence farmers in Africa and India today. Holodomor i

I don't really get why you are making a distinction between internet scale companies and working for another research lab. There are people in the ACM who work for Oracle Labs, IBM Research, etc, but 2 of 3 of these issues would also b

A lot of places have bizarre over-parenting practices that add social pressures on anyone who has children. I would have been much more inclined to have children in a place that either doesn't freak out about free range children like w

Grain reserves store grain in adequate quality for at least a year so subsidizing massive overproduction doesn't make a lot of sense if a bad year is the only concern. IMO a lot of food security policy around overproduction is related

Signing commits seems like a pointless mess to me. Being able to use a better git hash function and then using signed tags could be an improvement. Using a Fido key for both ssh and 2FA is also a great security improvement.

Great, and the if the project you make for a bit more than six months of lots of dedication succeeds people might realize you are an expert in something and try to hire you into a job that is more than full-time and/or doesn't all

Indeed I couldn't find a brand TLD with an MX, but there does seem to be an MX on ua, so "support@ua" is a valid email with no "."..

Shifts, etc, are all basically negotiated business by business, school system by school system, etc. The night shift, restaurant workers, school kids, etc, are really pushed around by logistics to match rush hours for office workers. A spli

What problem is Debian solving? There was already a poor binary packaging system for GNU/Linux, so why did they create another one? Sure it's easy to switch between similar systems but it is also marginal or useless. NixOS and Gui

There is a housing shortage and a doctor shortage because there are groups enforcing limits. Someone has to bid too low and not get one of these, that this highest unnaccepted bid went up means nothing to NIMBYs or the AMA. There is no shor

If these companies have been accurately summarized in the media, I would consider these very different. The mortgage companies were holding loans on a lot of individual houses, etc with concrete utility that were in actual use, where replac

Yeah, though it's hard to say which parts matter to IBM's bottom line since in terms of cloud DB sales they must be relying more on the trapped audience "not getting fired for choosing IBM" than on upsell to developers w

It's rarely that simple. They each build up portfolios of different pieces and once it is sufficiently unclear which would win, both discount the value of anything additional on the unlikelihood the other will start something they migh

IBM was funding that work and just recently announced that they no longer want to go ahead with the couchdb-fdb implementation and will refocus their support toward V3 related tasks. I'm not sure of their reasons but Apple recently bac

I don't think Putin has anything to fear regarding a traditional invasion by Nato, so matching any build up is meaningless. It is clearly just an explanation of why he needs a lot of troops withdrawn from Ukraine. That can explain givi

I'm not sure how to feel about collectibles, I bought a lot of baseball card packs and didn't open them as an "investment" as a kid. Probably they beat inflation, but the market would be lower if people like me could eve
