  1. Re:All that matters is how good your engineers are on Apple is Postponing Release of New Features To iOS This Year To Focus on Reliability and Performance: Report (axios.com) · · Score: 2

    That seems doubtful. Why do you need quality people when you have Agile and a certified Scrum Master? They are certified so they must be good.

  2. Yes, since Agile says you test continuously it must mean that the software is working properly. Otherwise it just means you are running the same tests over and over again with the same inputs. That would be meaningless, and we know that Agile isn't meaningless.

  3. Define "quality". They have been hitting all their milestones and releases.

    You are 100% correct, but that is my real Christian name.

  5. That sounds like a bad idea. That is like iterating back and fixing existing code. Kind of like a waterfall model. This isn't going to end well.

  6. This doesn't sound very Agile. Customers need new versions of software every few months. It doesn't matter if the software works, or is secure. The most important thing is to complete the Sprints to get to a release milestone and to a release. Customers really want that more than anything else.

  7. I hear they are 3D printing a spaceship to take us to Mars.

    It is really amazing what AI can do. Is there nothing AI can't do? Every week we hear about another AI breakthrough.

  9. Re: Have we seen Peak Meat? on World's Second Largest Meat Processor Invests In Lab-Grown Meat Startup (foxbusiness.com) · · Score: 1

    More BS from "peak oil" nuts. We never hit "peak oil". Why are you talking about US production only? The US doesn't produce most of the world's oil. You "peak nuts" never learn. Oil is oil. Your re-definition of "peak oil" to mean "conventional oil fields" is more silliness so you can keep bleating about "peak oil" while you prep your bunker.

    Meanwhile we have been swimming in "peak oil" for decades since the "peak oil" nuts arrived.

    I got a $50,000 a year job in IT in Silicon Valley and no one asked me for a high school diploma.

  12. True. I was diagnosed as a Nutter.

  13. AI will take the other two jobs. For example, doctors, lawyers, engineers. They are already been replaced by AI. I saw an AI doctor today for diagnosis.

    Yes. Good time to invest in the mid/large cap US market. It is going through the roof! Big business won.

    You should always be prepared if your business depends on a closed source software company. They could drop a product and you would have no recourse. If you don't have the sourcecode you don't have anything.

    The two largest commercially available closed source operating systems have major security flaws that ship with the OS. Why would you care about a fingerprint scanner?

    Exactly. Another made up malady. "No really, I thought it was YOU."

  20. Maybe they will fix the myriad root exploits at some point too. That would be nice!

  21. Exactly. Amazon Echo and Siri and things like that are novelty items that soon wear off. No one wants to talk to a computer. But thing like Airplay speakers (and equivalents) are great because you can stream music to them.

  22. It is AirPlay compatible, so it will work with any app that supports Airplay (including Android). It also works with iCloud Match. Works great, and sound great! You should buy two.

    No there isn't. Even the mitigations aren't going to help. That is why Intel is having problems. It needs to be fixed in hardware, not software.

  24. Big Federal government is better at providing infrastructure services than private industry. That is why Federal spending has increased every year the GOP has been in control of the Federal government.
