Acceptance testing involves testing the newly built functionality in the entire system. A product owner should signal any integration issues. Test and review is also a bit broader than just testing the code in question; if a problem is spotted with adjacent functionality, fix it.
That said, full-on systems testing is lacking, and we don't do any regression checks at the moment. We'll get to regression sprints before long, with this project, I think.
My agile workflow involves development work until Dev Done, then I hang up a rest-and-review task. Once another developer has checked my work for functionality and improvements, it goes into acceptance. Once there, the Product Owner has to test it for functionality and accept it or reject it (if it doesn't conform to the specs). Only then is the task considered 'done' for the sprint. So five stages a task will go through.
How does that skimp on testing? It's leaps and bounds more useful testing than any waterfall project. Waterfall skips the test-and-review, and once you do get to testing, you're doing the entire system, meaning you miss huge chunks of it.
The hell? My daily standup is 2-4 minutes. Restrospective takes 15-30 minutes, subsequent planning takes another 30-45. We do weekly sprints, so you're looking at an average worst-case of averaging 19 minutes a day. Boo-fucking-hoo.
If your standups take 2 hours, then screw that. Tell them what you did, what you're going to do, and what's blocking you. If someone wants to have a long discussion, sit back down and go to work, because the standup is apparently over. If anyone complains, tell them to take a course in scrum.
Unarmed lone black youths who viciously attack groups of armed police officers. In repeated situations. If you really think your police force is justified in executing unarmed young people. Liberal as Slashdot may be, this is a civil rights issue. If it does not get resolved, you *will* get lynching of cops, only it won't be unarmed lone black youths at that point.
From what I read in American media, the liberal stance is "Too much income inequality is bad". ie, if enough people have too little to live on, because too much wealth accumulates to the wealthy, that's bad. You get revolutions that way, and no one wants that. Liberals tend to believe wealth gap is too large, and needs to be shrunk. Not obliterated in some communist's wet dream, but shrunk. The only straw man I see is what you just wrote about the liberal stance.
Disclaimer: I'm Dutch. Our liberals are our right-wingers, and our left-wingers are actual socialists, the Socialist Party.

You must be new here.
Good luck trying to check your app's dashboard and tweak some settings while out of the office on your 'fucking' desktop.
By the battery controller he means the bit of electronics that actually controls the battery. If built correctly, it will not be able to harm the battery, regardless of the commands sent to it.
The control software telling the electronics to switch to battery power in the middle of the night, though, could happen.
I do believe you missed the entirely appropriate Futurama reference, good sir.
Prisoners are also still citizens, and judges can take away their constitutional rights just fine.
Stop in vitro fertilization and medical treatment for everything except accidents too, then. After all, if you get a heart attack and we help you, we're just encouraging people with genes that provide medical risk factors to continue. In fact, we should probably take out your kids.
Depression is an illness, not a choice, and you're arguing letting people die from a disease where it's possibly preventable.
I fail to see it as anything other than blue and gold (well, brown/yellow that might be called gold)
I said solar power plants, not solar photovoltaic power plants. If your 'fuel source' becomes solar panels, it's not exactly renewable. There's a 300+ MW solar power towers in the Mojave desert for example. It uses heliostats, not solar panels.
Well, at least the pollution they caused wasn't being ejected into city centers where people would immediately breathe it in, but instead at a centralized location where big bucks could be spent to achieve big gains of pollution reduction.
The main benefit of electric vehicles is the ability to move to an electricity-based society, at which point the problem that would remain is getting clean electricity. Filling a desert with solar power plants would probably do it.
