Not correct. And misleading. I know not just bikes well. Infrastructure is way more than one bike lane. It is also about how traffic crosses a bike lane. The crossing is slowed down by speedbumps (?) or the bike path is elevated by a curb, etc. and a wide area of visibility is provided, so they are visible before crossing. And most importantly, the car drivers are taught about it. What i mean is, that like in this foto, might work well in the Netherlands, but not so much in other countries.

you trade one danger for the other

i disagree. There are good and bad separate bike lanes.

In this one, cyclists will be overlooked a lot when crossing the lane. They are hidden behind parked cars.

edit: apologies in advance. I am glad you built this one, which is already a good step in the right direction.

in communism, ‘class is abolished. The ability to earn more than other workers is almost nonexistent.’ Therefore i’d argue that a rank or housing and pay by rank, are very counterproductive.

Stalinist just means authoritarian to me. There was no equality

Do any of you guys know what communism or socialism really are?

This thread sounds like if they offer subsidies for goods, housing, school system and so on, then we can ignore you can only get in if they like you and they use the entire countries tax payer money to subsidize goods for themselves only. Must be socialism. We can ignore its about war.

If Socialism means collective ownership and social welfare, then where is the collective ownership in your examples? Many can’t get in the US military, but pay for it.

And it’s all free (if you’re doing your part).

🤔

what has telling someone what to wear to do with socialism?

sounds very exclusive, though. Is it really ‘complete’?

the best US school system

what a flex 😐

Housing is assigned by rank

Pay is rated by rank

Is there really a rank in communism? Who decides the details of a rank?

only the top is in the burning chamber. The paint will cause friction when the piston should roll veeeery smoothly over the crank and when moving upside down in the cylinder. There are plenty of engine failures in these areas even without paint.

When Hitler was choosing his cabinet, he made Göhring Minister of the interior, which was head of the police. Then they put their SS inside of the Reichstag, when they cast the vote if Hitler should have absolute power (for a limited time, to solve a fake issue). The police, now under Göhring, didn’t stop them. The SS stood everywhere, shouting Nazi paroles and threatening the Reichstag-members to apply violence if the vote does not come out their way. Back then in the Reichstag, voting wasn’t anonymous. The deed was done. Some brave leftists still openly said they cannot vote yes, many were later captured and killed. Hitler obviously just cancelled the limited time part and kept the absolute power.

Many Germans later regretted, not having fought more, when they saw it all coming.

Guys, everything was alarming so far. Announcing to have ICE at the polls is even more alarming. You cannot have the Shitler get that far, where it is too late. You must act now!

Good luck over there, regards from Germany.

sorry! And… you’re welcome i guess?

just a reminder that survivorship bias is a huge thing. There have been shitty products from back then too. Many. We just don’t see them now, because only the few good products have survived. The same happens today.

Its not all planned obsolescence and not all obsolescence is bad. Imagine having a 40 year old fridge that doesn’t cool shit and burn 3 times the energy.

2 tips for good quality products now: end capitalism and spend money on the right products (not just convenience) and the right people to repair them.

i feel like this rule accomplishes nothing. Do you just hate LG?

Soon we can call them both Antarctica

Munich went open source / Linux a couple of years ago, ditching Microsoft. Using a big budget to convert everything and support employees etc. It was a huge act.

…Then they went back to Microsoft in yet another huge act, using a big budget. And then never revealed the budget for the last one. Which is really weird, considering its public money.

edit: just wanted to say that when idiots get power, there is always a way back. No matter how obviously stupid that would be

How does this benefit me?

…and how would it have benefited you, if the seller had to pay it? They would either increase the price for you or never have made the deal.

Even the thing you expected would have been stupid for you 🤣

to keep everyone busy all the time doesn’t work

I agree but that has nothing to do with scrum. It does not say how busy everyone has to be. Things like these are left for the team to decide. If you felt like you had to be more busy, then someone among you probably pushed it.

In fact i prefer a bit of slack time so people can react to incidents better. Imagine a 100% busy highway. Not nice. And then you need to spontaneously deliver something from A to B, using that highway -> there will be a traffic jam and everything works terribly. Have a bit of slack here and there so the spontaneous delivery does not mess up the flow -> much more effective and everyone is happier too.

thanks for your words.

I always wonder what the point is of time-boxing in the first place

When all work is done inside of sprints (including merging, testing, delivery, troubleshooting) etc., as it originally is meant, this becomes a really convenient thing. Sales people, the customers or the manager, know at 1pm every other Friday they can come to the review, check out a new iteration, with contiguous items, without interrupting anyone or having to make changes in their full calendar to get in touch. In kanban, i wouldn’t be so sure when a good moment is to review with others, in advance.

I like kanban too, by the way.
