Hey boss, I’m logging this ticket as tech debt. We need to take this on to hit our marketing deadline, and as soon as the project is over we need two scrum cycles to resolve it.

Two years later…

This ticket has been open forever, can we just delete it since nobody is ever going to clean this up? It’s messing up our velocity metric.

Can you share more about how you got steam to work that way? Right now I play some games through a VM with horrible performance.

I know that this is supposed to be a family, but it’s a surprised dog face to me.

It’s a separate but adjacent problem.

No school should ever be allowed to take the doors off bathroom stalls.

That just seems to be the alternative that don’t places are doing to deal with kids congregating in the bathroom to vape.

I think your take is too far. It’s just beyond reasonable.

If a teacher were outside the room and heard a loud crash, they’d go investigate. This is doing the same thing.

It isn’t identifying individuals, it doesn’t record any information about a person, it simply flags that somebody is breaking the rules and is worth taking a look.

This is about the least invasive technological solution you could get.

And it’s a heck of a lot better than alternatives like removing the stall doors.

Do kids prefer to not have doors then? Because I’m reading a lot of messed up headlines where the school removes the stall and bathroom doors and kids lose their privacy.

I’d rather have the TV with an alert than have to do competitive pooping.

Fewer than one a month?

I guess a good heuristic is if you don’t watch one or two movies a month on Disney, you should drop Disney makes sense.

I don’t think you need to post your address like the old days, I would never notice nor care about such an omission.

I do always look at job history, and I don’t out a lot of stock in the skills section because most of the time people lie or exaggerate there.

You don’t have to censor what it is, you can tell us what’s on sale here

But I thought we cold have free support in realtime with security updates for free forever?

They can’t swipe your password if it’s wrong

They could of course enter it on the target website and see it’s wrong though, so this only works against the crappiest phishing attempts

I’ve adopted a policy of always ebetering my password wrong the first time.

It started by accident.

Fewer

Are you sure it isn’t the kitty sticker?

I wish the intended had more deranged shit like this or the time cube

Now you’ve done it, you’re in trouble now!

Yes, confounders are variables which influence the outcome in a causal model but can’t be separated out

The linked study is way more interesting

2/3 teen pregnancy end in abortion.

teen pregnancy may be a marker of adverse life experiences preceding and/or during the formative teen years. For example, there is a dose-response association of exposure to adverse childhood experiences (ACEs)—such as sexual and emotional abuse, parental divorce or separation, or income decline9—with subsequent teen pregnancy,10,11 substance use,12 and suicide.13 ACEs are also associated with premature mortality.9,14,15

I do think this is a strong confounder, but very very interesting results

I just hear that they’re so insecure they need to define themselves by someone else’s deeply flawed version of better, instead of just being themselves and acknowledging what they like.

It’s like asking what’s the best colour, and someone answers “black, because it consumes all the other colours”

This one, that I just started.

The commenter after me ties their shoelaces very well, and I’m jealous.
