>If things work out, I will have $2M and no debt by the time I turn 60
You need to hit online calculators. You are most likely younger than me or the same age, you will find an unpleasant surprise: you will need more like $7M.
I hope you are hitting the mark, fella, because my retirement plan is to be carried, legs first, from my office.
rule: you can be a member if you are above median age of voters (currently median age, period, is about 42). This age will be fixed at the current value.
Please do not start making jokes about existing parties.
Over the past decades, companies have recognized the economic and social benefits of women, people of color, and LGBT individuals in the workforce
There are no additional benefits of having these categories at work. Zero, nada. It absolutely does not matter for work what you are privately, unless you are giving birth every you, caught AIDS by shagging in bar restrooms of gay clubs or a no-good-for-anything affirmative action byproduct.
Age is different. Age is coming to all of you unless you die young and we dying young is a privilege that becomes more and more rare with progress. It comes to everybody including Afro-American lesbians.
And it contrast to all these celebrated minorities age DOES provide benefits if you read the article.
What's the current median age of fully employed in US?
One of the cons of having old people on payroll is health issues. I work in the organization that is aging very quickly, almost at one year per year rate. In two Agile projects I work on (do not get me started why it's not just one) there are not a single person who is younger than 40 and majority is older than 50.
Health issues are a real problem to Agile development. You can't plan shit if you are only 75% sure people will actually work four days per two-week Agile cycle of their half time on the project. "Whatever you can do, John, whatever you can do" is not a ticket type.
they provide emotional stability, complex problem-solving skills, nuanced thinking, and institutional know-how.
That is very true. Except that young managers do not value that. Heck they do not even value "Technical Debt". All is about short term planning. Half of the code is git-blame-dated by ten years ago, yet "Technical Debt" is never important and is considered a knitting activity at your home while you are waiting for Three's A Company re-run on your CRT television after supper and glass of warm milk. As one of the greatest managers I have ever met said about that type of thing (he did it more than anybody else in his free time) said: "it's therapeutic".
>Agile is usually in contrast to a waterfall model. Agile has quick iterations where things can change whilst waterfall has one large iteration which hopefully ends with a delivered product.
Wrong. Not very wrong, but substantially wrong.
Waterfall model was gone long before Agile. People understood iterative nature ("back to design because only during implementation we discovered this design flaw") long before Agile.
Agile is about communication, about process of collective work on software packages.
You described the world of which I have managed never be a part since I submitted my first program on cards to the punchcard girls. I do believe your horror story, though.
It's pretty safe to assume that every time somebody implies "white supremacist" ideology on the part of any person who opposes the current state of institutionalized racism against white (and Asian) male that somebody is just engaging in a straw-man argument.
There is zero danger from "white supremacist" ideology. It's very limited and their ground base - poverty of worker class - is limited because USA has never been more prosperous in history.
What dangerous here is constant bashing of white (and Asian) males to the ground by modern social justice warriors.

The more I sense that he is not a really bright fella.
People do not bike usually when they can get their faster than car because majority of cyclists are by choice: they can afford the car.
Ergo, all the data comes from the cyclists in the area where by definition the traffic is very bad.
Another note: every cyclist can physicall drive, not every drive can cycle.
People do not get that by promoting and defending cyclists they are taking an elitist approach, not the opposite.
Cyclists are yuppies. Period.
Of course. I am glad it does not affect you, from the Clan of Jeffs.

Google Search "The National Institutes of Health total number of employees" 20,262 (not including contractors and contractors are typically younger)
Shocking

>I could literally retire right now and not run out of things to do for the rest of my life, no matter how old I may get.
Sounds like you have never been old and retired before.
I am retiring legs first from my office
I know you are upvoted for eloquency because I have no idea what exactly you are trying to say

I need to see data showing that they got pretty good. So far, never saw the headlines: "hey we predicted this 20 years ago correctly"
Except for Nostradamus. That guy was a stable genius.
you are insane. I am quite far from retirement age and i already do not want to buy anything beyond what I need dearly.
It's not "consumption" it's back to industrial production age of production of people of 80 will actually NEED.
Is your car 30 years old?

Thank you God for sparing me.
> articulate it sufficiently
That's the key word in Agile.
> Lean IT, which promotes delivering software faster, better and cheaper
This just sounds like marketing bullshit. The other two were described more ... descriptively
That's the stuff that matters.

This must stop.
Agreed with everything, except this:
> Time to create an inverse brain drain.
There is only brain influx to Western world and US, in particular.
That's the largest amount of spoils of war in history that any country ever harvested.
From the other hand, maybe there is a problem with whites spending too much time dating without procreating.

I have not heard stupider shit in ages.
Kaveh Waddell, you are an imbecile and should consider self-imposed vow of silence.
Science is not about evidence, it's about method. Evidence is crucial to the method, but that's not it.
Experiment is a key to science, which goes beyond evidence.
Evidence is a discovery that elephants resembles a rope.
Experiment is about anwering yes or no question.
There are very few experiments in the subject. It's all about modeling.
