I don't agree that Agile requires JIT requirements but benefits from and thus promotes them as the best way to deliver requirements for a feature. Under waterfall, a document is written by an analyst that describes a problem to be fixe

I like them and it's simply because they evoke an intellectual and emotional reaction. That's art.

It's expensive to move to a brand new place and one of the only things many poor people have to rely on is their local network of family and friends.

China can have both, I don't see why having both Afghanistan and the Golden Triangle in your pocket is a bad thing if you're interested in opiate production at the global scale.

I am unsympathetic to the reaction of Swiss banking officials who are apparently deeply emotionally affected by the imposition to report on the financial assets of wealthy people with financial interests in the US. Switzerland's histo

smart contracts are just bits of functional code I don't know that I'd invest in a deployed smart contract but I suppose it depends on the traffic and the situation of the developer it wouldn't be hard for the original develo

There are all sorts of people working in this space with a variety of beliefs like any other industry. They're not all crypto-anarcho-capitalists.

I think that's part of it to be sure. However I can readily account nine items versus ten items depending on how they are organized. We are counting when we are enumerating, however that occurs in man, bird or bee it seems to me.

by wavefunction 5y ago
But then what is counting? Is it what we (humans, birds and bees) use to abstract reality?

I guess the argument then is "technical limitations excuse privacy lapses."

This reads like a straw man argument.

The problem arises when most of them want to attend UT-Austin rather than UT-El Paso or UT-Permian Basin or UT-Rio Grande. And as noted by others the threshold had to be revised downwards from 10%. I personally believe you can receive an ex

I enjoyed the running gag (based on many episodes) of Bourdain going on a local fishing/hunting trip and failing to catch anything, and then having to scramble to some other local place and make up for the lack of a catch which some ti

I think a great way to actually induce that behavior is to make digital copies freely available to encourage education about and appreciation of art and artists.

In early Imperial Rome prestigious families would fund public works as a public symbol of their wealth and power. This shifted over time to a more self-interested display of wealth and power in the family's villas. If the aqueducts an

If the argument is that facebook is too big to be regulated by anyone, even facebook, then it's time to break it down into smaller and more manageable parts.

I wonder what is owed Haiti for the profits extracted from the enslaved peoples forced to work to death there.

They should probably be taking a sub-threshold dose anyways. The effects are the same and there's no risk of strong hallucinations.

This seems like something that could be measured with at least one of the scanning techniques we already employ. It seems like an MRI could provide a rough result that could lead to further and more direct testing.

Mehmed II did declare himself Kayser-i Rum after taking Constantinople so perhaps you're right.

by wavefunction 5y ago
I thought it was the Ottoman conquest of Constantinople? I think it's pretty well understood that the Western Roman Empire towards its end was plagued by pandemics, in-fighting, self-interest and loss of centralized control, and the pr

If those places can suddenly hit 115F then so can the Bay Area. I am not saying it is likely but who would have said it is likely that Portland would hit 115.

You're right, I mis-posted that. I should have mentioned this instead: https://theintercept.com/2018/02/14/julian-assange-wikileaks...

I'm just curious why Assange and Wikileaks have failed to release the GOP emails. Despite the lofty rhetoric about being journalists they seem to have "picked a side" in terms of their stance towards the US Government. That
