Florida Cops will kill protesters.

I mean, saying this is only going to escalate the situation and increase the tension.

What if the protestors say back in return: “If you point a gun at one of us protestors, your coworkers will be notifying your family where to collect your remains”?

The dude is just asking for a fight.

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange returns to Australia a free man after US legal battle ends

The detail I was interested in:

“The plea deal required Assange to admit guilt to a single felony count but also permitted him to return to Australia without any time in an American prison. The judge sentenced him to the five years he’d already spent behind bars in the U.K. fighting extradition to the U.S. on an Espionage Act indictment that could have carried a lengthy prison sentence in the event of a conviction. He was holed up for seven years before that in the Ecuadorian Embassy in London.

The conclusion enables both sides to claim a degree of satisfaction.”

A Coup Is In Progress In America

Top comment from Mike Brock’s blog (where this diatribe came from):

Right now it feels we have a growing chorus of people raising alarm, but very few people proposing any specific actions that are commensurate with the scale of the crisis? I appreciate your work and I don’t mean this flippantly, but do you have any proposals more specific than “resist” or “do something”?

This comment is my thought exactly. Brock isn’t wrong, but he’s just blowing real hard and hoping the house falls down.

All this blog did was piss me of, but it didn’t point me in a direction.

(But thanks for posting, OP.)

Study finds 268% higher failure rates for Agile software projects

I couldn’t disagree more.

In medical I would end up being apart of endless retirement gathering meetings, then draft up the SOW doc only to have stakeholders change requirements when they were reviewing the doc. Then months later once the doc was finally finished and I could do the development, when UAT time finally came, they’d say the build wasn’t what they wanted (though it matched the written requirements).

Most of the projects I saw executed in the last 4 years either got scrapped altogether or got bogged down in political bs for months trying to get the requirements “just right”.

It was a nightmare. You could blame me, or the company, or bad processes all you want, but I’ve never had fun on a waterfall project, especially not in medical. (Though, in my opinion, we are severely understaffed and need like 4 more BAs.)
