Comment Not just hollywood (Score 1) 487

Gone are the days of 'experts' guiding content consumption. Nowadays everybody has a some sort of internet connected device and an opinion. If they can also then tap into social media and create a cause they can summon a quite a force.

Recent non-movie events with airlines, the 'leggings' incident and United fiasco.

We use JIRA but there are many ways to do this. Implement a pipeline that must be followed.

* User creates a ticket in system (bug/issue, etc).
* Developer works on ticket (in new branch)
* Developer get's code review from peer
* Developer pushes changes to staging server
* user who filed ticket tests the change/signs off on fix
* code deployed to QA to test change
* QA signs off on case
* Developer merges code from branch to master (or build release engineer)
* code is released

I'm sure you've found that 6 weeks is long for a "sprint". 4 weeks should be the max length. Over a million lines of code -- in existence for over 10 years -- gets updates in six-week "sprints" using source control and bug-tracking systems. But now an anonymous reader writes: In theory users report bugs,

On the plus side, illegal immigration is at the lowest it's been in 2 decades

Not just illegal immigration, people are avoiding traveling to the US in general (Interest in travel to the US has "fallen off a cliff" since Donald Trump’s election - https://www.theguardian.com/tr...) Good! There are enough people here, we don’t need anymore, we’ll make that tourist money up in other ways. Silicon valley tech companies are avoiding letting employees travel to outside the US for fear they won’t be able to get back in. Good! show them with actions it’s better to only hire US workers. I mean what have immigrants ever done for silicon valley and the US anyway?! https://www.nytimes.com/2017/0...

and we made a strong-but-measured move in Syria which has garnered praise from many world leaders.

Yes, strength! (Trump's Syria Strike Was Unconstitutional and Unwise - https://www.theatlantic.com/po...)

Hey don't forget it's not just Syria, we are showing our strength all over the world! (civilian deaths - more than 1,000 in March alone - that have come directly as the result of the Trump administration’s other reckless military campaigns across the Middle East over the past few weeks. - https://www.theguardian.com/co...) Yes, this is great! The heavy handed tactics accusations thrown at Hillary which would lead us into war, well now Trump has done them so it’s ok, yeah! We’re #1 we’re #1!

positive effect on relations and negotiations with Iran, N. Korea, and China.

Yes, for sure because they respect a useless reckless show of force over keeping their trade deals in tact.

Limiting illegal immigration should eventually bubble up into more jobs

Yup, I’m pretty psyched, I’m preparing for my new job! It’s at a nice outdoor location in sunny fields actually. Purportedly it reaches about 100F so I should get a good tan out of it to boot! The hours will be refreshing, I will be working from 5AM to 6PM and I’m working with nature, picking fruit, I think I can have a radio with me and I’m making $15 per hour! Great, looking forward to it! The other benefit is I'll be able to take some fruit home in my bag since I won't be able to afford it anymore at the supermarket.

Or is it just another example of government waste?

Yeah, i think it was one of those stupid "Obama liberal biased" attempts to help brown people not get railroaded by local law enforcement practices, good riddance I say!

The company, the report claims, created a "Teens Team" to figure out how to grab teenagers back from Snapchat,

In related news, an "Ex's" group is created and meets to figure out how to lure back the person that left them. Reports indicate that candy and presents will play a predominant role.

Let's see, I'm a teen, my parents and relatives are all on Facebook and I'm going to actively use the platform why?

Yes, exactly. I'm not sure how you would 'move to scala', unless you are refusing to take a job where you would have to code in java. If you own your own company and make all the decisions then great, otherwise you will have to learn more languages, sometimes whether you want to or not (learn to want to :)

If you have time and interest work in Scala in your own time, learning a new language is always good, even if there is no direct monetary pay off

I agree there is a real need for an online micropayments system, especially for musicians and content creators. As pointed out above it's not going to work in Bitcoins or paypal or any other existing online payment system I am aware of.
