Don't forget that Recall was initially on by default. It wasn't until users were like, WTF, did they make it off by default.

That will last for as long as it takes for the value of privacy and ownership erodes further and then it'll get switched back to on by default.

Morally Righteous? I think it's more they don't have to so they don't. It's like the DVR days where you'd just fast forward ads. It wasn't a moral high ground, it was just easy to do and was better than the alternative.

It's really important to know the history of agile and why it came about. I don't think it's the problem. The root problem, which is true for any other methodology is business's unwillingness to accept uncertainty and change.

Standups were co-opted from a people-working-the-sprint touch point to discuss A 24 hour window and address problem, and turned into a status meeting, a jira hygiene meeting, or an number of unrelated things.

The answer to management's question, 'when will you be done' is, "at the end of the sprint." Don't ask me to report a daily, or god forbid, hourly status.

She also talks about the first bug during this one as well as some general lore, history, lessons learned and brings up some good future problems - some of which got solved, some didn't. Def worth watching the whole thing.

They, and anyone else, is welcome to have as much avocado toast as they'd like. Just don't say that XYZ is unaffordable because their money went to other financial choices.

I think the expense aspect doesn't dig deep enough. There are plenty of poor countries (and folks) having children. Additionally, being rich and having lots of kids don't usually go hand in hand (admittedly stereotypical)

Not wanting to be poor, or more likely, trading the yearly trip to $insertPlaceHere, eating out on the weekends, or the daily Starbucks, for a new kid, isn't a bad, but 'too expensive' doesn't really describe that situation accurately.

Maybe it's my lack of being natively fluent in English, but the switching between sarcasm and genuine enthusiasm is confusing.

Of course, I'm assuming the author is being sarcastic about gaining the ability to use calculator on an ipad, which would be on me.

Taxes, utilities, heating costs, construction costs, insurance cost, the cost of a new property (build or buy) are all going up. The title on this article could have easily been '$insertAnythingHere going up faster than wages'

I can speak to the 'mom and pop' landlords. The best you can hope for is that your properties are paid for. If they're leveraged, it's a razor thin margin where are one roof replacement, furnace replacement, or state/local government deciding failure to pay isn't grounds for eviction away from losing money.

As someone who doesn't know much about archeology, I watched the netflix show and thought it was interesting and had a lot of questions. Knowing that it's one perspective and that there has been information has likely been left out and/or there were either answers, or at least commonly accepted explanations, I started looking around for what those were and what the academics had to say.

I found this channel and couldn't get more than 30 minutes. He starts off well saying that he didn't want to dismiss it all as nonsense but that doesn't last long. So yeah, If you want to watch someone ridicule an alternative theory that has been presented, or present commonly accepted theories as matter of fact, then sure, great channel.
