Keep every piece small, too many problems are created by attempting to build a solution out of too complex modules. Some people may complain about too many source files and similar, but if each component is small and distinct it's a lot easier to rearrange them.
And even seasoned programmers makes mistakes, but they are often not in a single module but rather in a system-wide perspective caused by misunderstanding of the larger picture. This just highlights that to make a good system you need to know the need of the customer.
Agile is a method, but too many people tries to formalize it into a tool instead of seeing it as a high level method that shouldn't be formalized.
As soon as you formalize Agile it stops being agile. It's like you are now thinking of how you breathe - as soon as you think about it you waste energy thinking about it.
Segmentation of networks is what's needed, I hope that companies and other organizations starts to learn that having a single internal net is a hazard.
This is standard in the military - segmented nets, "washing" computers for USB drives etc.
By this action Stein puts the green party on the map of possible parties outside the big two. Make a lot of noise and news - and if the recount actually changes the election people will remember that in the coming election.
It's a strategic choice. Stein can't win the battle this time since it's already lost but by making a heck of a racket she will have one strategical piece in place for the next election. Her plan is probably to be one of the top candidates for the 2020 election.
Green party makes news this time by driving the re-count. Next time they will be up in the election again and then they may attract the same kind of people Bernie attracted this time - but in the final election.
With experience from what the green party here have done I can just see that it's not going to end well.
I can think of a few:
- Someone has inserted an alternate crop in your harvest.
- The soil/ground is not suitable for the processing you intend to do.
- Animals in the field - wild or domesticated doesn't matter, it can cause problems.
- Campers in your field.
- Equipment failure - ranging from puncture on a support wheel to broken parts or roots stuck in your plow.
- Garbage or other foreign objects present in the field.
Been there, done that in many of the above cases. There's often something unexpected that comes up and so far machinery isn't able to figure out all the small pesky special cases.
Entirely automated farming also poses a risk, and if you have worked on a farm you realize that there are always things that are unpredictable that will require manual handling. Nature is unpredictable, and equipment have a tendency to break or malfunction in new interesting ways each time.
In your area the numbers may be low, in other areas you may encounter only dead trees and a few struggling survivors. Average numbers don't look as bad as what you can see locally.
One reason for dead trees is not only the drought but also the side effect that the ground water table has fallen. Even more worrying is that the ground water table in many places in California has fallen for a century now and there's no end in sight.
That's something that would do great as a TV series. The book may not be that long but it contains a lot that can be played out quite a bit.
But even Stranger in a strange land is something that can be quite entertaining if it's done right.
Most people seem to underestimate Heinlein - he did write not just to please the readers but also to try out new sociological ideas as well as providing more or less subtle criticism of the current society.
First Trump came and messed up the Primaries for the Republicans and collected a lot of enemies, and now he bashed Clinton and probably gained more enemies.
This will be fun.
But I think that Trump will have a tough time with the congress - and it will be a sour awakening for both parties that now there's a president that none of the sides likes and they have to revisit what they have to do to control him - and gain support in the long run.
In many political issues Trump is leaning to the center but the news has bashed him for his sometimes outrageous claims of building a wall and so on.

And what about "The Onion"???
When is it parody, when is it fake news and what about cases when the channel contains some truth and some lies, where do we draw the line?
It probably ran away for a greener pasture somewhere.

Two incompetents this time hasn't helped anything.
Looking into other areas of the world the enemy of my enemy may also be my enemy, so in such cases it's better to avoid drawing attention.
All computers and operating systems have vulnerabilities, but most of the vulnerabilities are on application level not on the OS level.
But OS level vulnerabilities makes the news.

Centauri Prime - well, that's worrying me if they have dealings with the Shadows already. Watch out for Lord Refa.
If Hillary is from Centauri Prime, then Trump is a Ferengi. (Sorry for the different universes)
Meanwhile in the background we have the ones in control.
But I'd worry more about the congress than the president.

In a few years - Godzilla.
I have a service through http://www.enom.com/hosting/dn... which seems to work fine for me.

TMI was a joke compared to Chernobyl and Fukushima.

Max Headroom got it right on the spot already in the 80's.

OK, what would you like to present as a good production then?
Depends on how daring the makers are.
I fear no evil.

Facebook is dead, move on.
Try marketing sunblock to a black man. "You need the level 20 sunblock for your skin".
