You can’t make the hole for the air to escape with your hands though

I don’t see the two environments as necessarily being at odds in any way.

If implementing feature X is going to take a developer 10 days… It’s going to take a developer 10 days. I can say the deadline is 1 day all I want, it’s going to take 10 days.

If I want to get my Volkswagen golf down a 1/4 mile, it doesn’t matter how hard I push the gas pedal, it’s going to take as long as it takes.

In a corporate environment, if deadlines are what you’re optimizing for, you have options. You can cut scope. You can add resources. You can decrease quality. You can forgo time intensive processes designed to reduce risk. These are still all agile activities. Making deliberate decisions, and continually evaluating those decisions is agile.

Agile doesn’t mean there are no timelines or goals. It’s just that the design and implementation are routinely examined for suitability to your ultimate goals.

So I actually think agile is better suited to corporate environments because of how volatile the definition of delivered value is. Open source projects usually have a less volatile vision

Do you have any idea how many jira states our development workflow has?

I wonder how much appetite there is for project managers and scrum masters in the open source world.

Power costs is a poor tax in the same way skipping the dentist and getting a root canal later is.

Also in the process of power efficiency-izing my lab. It just wasn’t a feasible option before, I didn’t have the means. I just paid interest via electricity.

How is how well known they are relevant? Would that make a leak more or less palletable? Are you familiar with the “five eyes”?

Not in love with the “big boy” from factor but when I believe they’re going to enter “long term support” territory I absolutely would be interested.

I get your point, but intelligence agreements break down if countries start letting their personnel leak information.

Canada has access to sensitive US intelligence. What do you think would happen if someone in CSIS leaked it?

Like, Israel bad, it was probably ethically correct to leak it, but I think your line of reasoning isn’t fantastic from an actual argument perspective. It was a tweet sized, easily consumable expression of disagreement, and I can appreciate that art for what it is.

I don’t really care what they look like. If any truck actually could meet the promises these made, I’d buy the shit out of them:

-All electric

-Sophisticated sensor suite to improve operational safety

-Working performance comparable to F150

-low maintenance

-Can be used as home power backup

-not a Deathtrap

-not a Killing machine

It hits the electric points, but that’s it. It’s a bad truck. It doesn’t fulfill any of the “smart” promises. Death trap killing machines in constant recall that can’t handle rain… Let alone do work.

The aesthetic doesn’t even make my list of complaints. It’s like the whole industry has been trying to make trucks as shitty as possible for like 30 years. Give me a '94 ranger electric conversion kit and it’s game fucking over cyber truck.

He’s already conditioned his base with fake pictures and videos of tons of stuff. He’s already convinced them to reject a reality they can see and hear and touch.

Putin could release that tape, DNA, and have the Pope and Joe Rogan personally attest to it’s authenticity and it wouldn’t matter.

Trump would say “deepfake” , fake news, radical left fabrication. His base would believe him. We’ve been living in a post-truth world for longer than most of us are willing to admit.

There is no kompromat that could shake his base.

“No but see I withheld my vote for Kamala because I don’t feel she earned it”

Any time you’re in caloric deficit your body will start burning fat (and muscle) stores, so yeah.

I don’t know enough about lactation, but I suspect if you stay in a deficit too long you’ll just stop lactating.

Appreciate that excess production of 2000L of breast milk would require the amount of excess caloric intake of 2 years worth of normal adult consumption. With grocery prices being what they are, that’s something.

I think a lot of Americans don’t understand that the USA hedgemony isn’t a divine right, it was a deliberate construction with tacit agreement of convenience from the western world.

Much like an economy, belief makes it so.

Much like the UK’s arrogance has driven them into geopolitical obscurity, so will the USA’s.

In 15 years, Americans are going to wake up and realize that their voices are irrelevant in the world. I don’t know how y’all are going to handle it.

I am on your side, and you are being vicious.

Asking you to treat me with respect isn’t tone policing, it’s basic human decency, and I believe you understand that.

If you have an concrete alternative interpretation I’m all ears. Are numerically fewer votes for Trump in 2024 an indication of growing support, and if so, how do you figure that?

Again, we’re aligned, but you’re lashing out at me out of frustration and anger and I expect you to be better.

If you want to engage in an adult discussion we can do that. I’m empathetic to your pain right now, but take a deep breath before you respond consider carefully if you’re in a place to do so as your best self. Doesn’t have to be today if you’re not. Hit me up in a week. A month. A year. I’m here whenever you want a sober sounding board.

I’m not saying that she desereved the votes.

The comment I was responding to said the electorate swung right. I’m saying that’s not what the numbers say.

The numbers say that the Dems didn’t show up to the polls. It’s absolutely the fault of the democratic party leadership: if you can’t convince people to show up, your offering is insufficient.

So, I actually agree with you, and the point I was making was at a seperate point somebody else made.

I know you’re hurting today but get ahold of yourself. Read and think before you rage at strangers on the internet.

I don’t know if sentiment swung or if Dems just didn’t show up.

Biden had over 80 million votes in '20. Trump had like 74. Trump got less total votes this year than in '20. Only problem was like 15 million Dems didn’t show up.

If there is one thing you can count on from a Democrat “voter”, it’s for them to not actually vote.

The levers which incentives wages closing the gap on the “super inflation” are probably more realistic than the levers that would cause the prices of everything to deflate.
