Oh god, this perfectly describes the company I just quit. They went from using Trello, allowing us to choose what to work on, loosely setting story points and ... that was it.

Then they decided they needed the metrics on everything, so they switched to JIRA, started doing retros, setting strict points on tasks(reprimanded in retros if you messed up), using burndown charts to reprimand even more, and giving the product manager the power to dictate what I work on and in what order.

It went from being a great company to work at, to a company I ran away from. I have half a mind to send this thread over to them.

The more interesting part of the post is in the 'Why I did it' section. I'd be interested to hear what others have to say on the topic considering I was about to invest some money into cryptos.

How does this work?

Is there data out there about infants in a similar situation who didn't receive oxygen therapy? Is it possible that the developing child brain is what almost solely caused the improvements?

Would've been interesting if China adopted or developed an alphabet system to make it better suited for movable type printing earlier on.

If you got a full tutorial on this, I would love to read it ;)

I can't ever imagine using Comcast again after being forced to wait through their customer service.

I make the same mistakes when looking at code from two different but similar projects.

I spin my keys to see if I'm in base reality.

Western nations aren't exactly standing on a moral high ground, either.

I've just told older Chinese that the Taiwanese don't want to be a part of China and they tend to give it another thought.

I'm guessing this serves as marketing for their consultancy business? If it is, it's a pretty fun way to go about it.

Also, because he's human, and they all unfortunately make dumb mistakes.

I would venture that the vast majority of people will benefit from a small amount of income compared to the small amount who will take advantage of the system.

Contrary to what people are saying here. You should try to validate the idea with your target market and maybe even go so far as getting payment before building the product.

You can test if you really have an understanding of the problem you're solving and if it's even worth building in the first place. I've personally gone down so many dead ends following my business ideas without validating first and I won't be caught dead making the same mistake.

Another benefit of talking with your customers is that you can collect information about how to market towards them. You listen to their problems and the solutions they're using and you instantly have ideas about blog posts you can write and other ways you can provide value for your target customer.

An interesting anecdote - My friend who absolutely cannot play or even watch someone play an FPS game had no problems with the samsung gear(arguably a device on the lower end). You should give it a try and see how you fair.

haha yeah, I was surprised by how good it looked back then.

I graduated from Flatiron School(004) and worked at companies of various sizes as a web developer in NYC. I am competent in both frontend and backend technologies.

I would've loved it if I never went to school. Especially as a minority living in a white neighborhood -- it was pretty much hell every day.

Culture plays a large role. It's become a thing in America where 'fat shaming' is looked down upon. Although, shaming someone should obviously be looked down upon, merely pointing out the fact that someone is getting fat should not be deemed as 'fat shaming'. In Korea, people regularly tell each other if they're getting fat, which is not taken as an insult, but is a factual statement and is classified as 'caring' and a 'worry' rather than 'shaming'.

The state of China is what happened to the US and UK when they were going through their industrial revolution.

It just seems like a contentious area to test this on. America would be better considering many people are monolingual.

A lot of people in India speak both English and Hindi, plus a host of other regional languages.

"even after taking into account other factors such as smoking, high blood pressure, diabetes and age"

Did they take into account that people who speak multiple languages are potentially more financially secure and thus would have a healthier/more nutritional diet/lifestyle?

Yeah, let's generalize an entire region after getting screwed over by one company.

Wasn't a scientist able to extract DNA fragments from dinosaur bones by leaving them in an acidic solution?

I believe he said he lives in Australia.

Strange considering that the only reason you're alive today is because of technology.

There is no set end-goal. You create your own end-goal. That's the point of human existence, to create your own meaning.

I'm sure someone here is already making a visualization with the dataset.

How do you define an emergence of a species when these hominids are always in a state of constant change? Wouldn't this mean that there is no concrete way to determine if a fossil is from 'one side' or the 'beginning'(earliest point) of a species?

Might be slightly off-topic.

I wish they had these things for drop-outs like me.
