The term "4th world" hasn't even caught on yet now That is silly, 4th world was a term in the late 1970s early 1980s. As I said: there are no 4th world countries anymore and arguable no 3rd world countries except Somalia, well, we could look now on WHO or UN web page and find two or three more...
Look at the recent GDPR laws in Europe as an example and ask yourself how much of a pain that would be to deal with if you're a small one or two person company. Close to zero. While the GDPR is a big chunk of paper, it is for 99% of all companies irrelevant. You simply only store as much information you need to perform the business with your customer, like billing address, and never share any information with anyone else. And that is the default for small companies. With whom for what purpose would I share any private data of any of my customers?
In the EU such a "code of conduct" would be in most cases illegal, not sure if there are exceptions like a CEO having a relationship with one directly under his command.
If you stop visiting they send you special "please come back, look at what you are missing!" messages Never got such a message, and most other notifications I have switched off.
Assuming 33% thermal efficiency of the steam turbines in coal power plants, Why do you assume stuff that can easy be googled and easy be remembered... efficiency for memory sake is 42%, if you want to be a pro, it is around 44%.
We had that, it is called HIV. Thanks to modern medicine (which means since roughly 1995) it does not kill quickly anymore, or people can actually live long with it. It did not kill as rapidly as Ebola, though.
Other viruses like SARS or chicken influenza spread really rapidly, can kill quickly, depending on strand, but have a relatively short incubation time.
It will suck for the first few patients who get sick, but the bugs will have a hard time taking over the world. Depends how infecting they are and how they get deployed, and then again we have this thing called air planes...
Traversing the 200 miles of space to get to air below isn't terribly difficult. Of course not. But you still have 3 problems: a) hitting something b) preventing the projectile from melting up c) keeping your "satellite" 'somewhere' at the same orbit
Thank you for the long post, but hint: I'm a physicist my self. Rods from sky are nice in SciFy, but no were close to reality.
You can not simply "drop" a rod from an orbit. You have to accelerate it to absurd speeds to get it down, or decelerate it below orbital speed so that it drops by itself. In both cases you need a power source, probably a fuel source and an apparatus for the de/acceleration. And you have to keep in mind that most ways to "fire" a rod from a satellite will change the orbit of it.
Scrum is a meta process. It basically does not describe any thing relevant for software development, except that a sprint result should be a tested "installable" release. So: being able to install it and have it tested (somehow) is the only connection to software development. In other words: it does not say, that you need a version control system, use a CI server, write automated tests etc.
OTOH, Extreme Programming (XP) is all focused around software development.
As Joel Spolsky once said, get the people that can "just get stuff done". They'll figure their own way of doing things, and it doesn't need a "Process". And that exactly is what agile is about...
I guess the main fault of the study is to focus on a strange way of meditation. Never heard about a mediation discipline that focuses on "mindfulness"...

Why is that modded flaimbait?

Except that you don't need 100% uptime from a nuclear plant when you already are 50% renewable ... what would you do with the extra power?
Sell it to your neighbours like Germany ... ooops, you don't have the grid for that in your backyard country.
A "Whale Oil Initiative" from a "High Roller"?
and energy requirements are at their highest when sunny periods are at their lowest.
It is usually opposite around. Unless you heat with electricity.
Because your stand ups don't work for you but mine work for me :D
But in my current team the stand ups are a bit to long, too. It should be less than a minute per person, but alas ...
Chemical weapons usually only work under perfect conditions.
Of course against civilians they work much better than against prepared soldiers.

They all get treatment. And next year the rate is increased to cover for the "extra spendings".

Thats the problem when you live in a society where health insurances are supposed to make a profit instead of being a contribution to society.
At the moment we don't mine asteroids for it.
My point is simple: the plastic in the oceans is a problem right now. But plastic is still to cheap to mine it from the ocean, so the problem remains.
And then there are all those treaties prohibiting militarization of space ...
If plastic is so cheap that mankind is throwing it into the ocean, how do you think it will be profitable to harvest it from there?

... the whole supply-chain exists to satisfy that desire. ...
I have heard there are countries where the food chain only exists to make money
A dollar every 10 seconds means 6 dollars per minute means 36 dollars per hour.
Or do I miscalculate?
What exactly is lucrative in that?
However, the hoops in this study were meaningless hoops ...
