One of the young people on the team quickly thought out loud, "Sounds like Stone Henge!"

You'll also see that lots of districts are getting millions of dollars and creating ZERO jobs. Look at Ohio as an example.

I suspect the obvious explanation is: data entry error, however, any rationally developed system should have input constraints and integrity checks to prevent these kinds of errors. I would like to know what the mistake is. Is it corruption? I don't know. Probably a bit of it is, yeah.

I personally like making predictions. That's what our industry is all about. That's what science is all about. Predicting the future.

That said, I don't see anything particularly insightful in the predictions made in the linked article.

We need to reward saving, not spending. I know we have a consumer economy and everyone loves everyone to spend, but we must change that economy for the sake of ourselves and the world, and definitely if we wish to preserve our position in the global hierarchy.

Take it as an opportunity to build a legal defense information system, then sell it and make a bundle off the experience you gain.

So then the young bucks come in and say, "I can do this for less!"

It's uncalled for, even if they are on the school's site. This person who should be acting like an adult is being quite childish.

That's all I'm saying.

as diversity approaches 100%, performance approaches market returns.

The question is, how long can extreme wealth remain extreme wealth? Considering the wealth gap is increasing, I would suggest forever unless there is a "market correction" like socialism or something.

I said, "I like to add sugar to my rice crispies" and she said, "You couldn't add enough sugar to your rice crispies to equal the amount in the frosted kind."

And now, it's hard to buy even adult cereals without sugar in them. They are all so sweet. It can't be good.

There countless paradigms that prove my point. The web won out over the desktop. Relational won out over flat files. XML over other formats.

If the paradigm of NoSQL will succeed, customers will want some belief that they can ultimately escape the clutches of a particular vendor's product.

If you factor in the costs, time to market, and other factors, I can easily see the automated version winning out in the long run.

I'm sure similar comparisons were made between robots on factory lines and people as well, but the cost differentials really push toward automation. Perhaps robots will write the initial article and then hand it off to a person for the flair.

If a trustee loses everything then the next year, they have access to another annuity distribution.

You don't know for sure that you haven't had any security problems. All you know is that you haven't noticed the results of any security compromise.

I am no lawyer, but that's what the lawyers told me.

As an owner of code, I would never put the code in the cloud. I don't even put binaries in the cloud without obfuscating them. Every little bit helps.

And I also disagree that the code is worthless. Imagine the value of your company if all the code suddenly disappears! Not only do you have to rewrite everything from scratch, but you can't support your existing customers while you are doing it.

Final point, doing what is easy for everyone else is exactly the kind of thing that limits your competitive advantage. If all your competitors are using Github and github loses all their data, you win!

Sure, yes, there may be a programmer deficit in the woods, but there's no programmer deficit around here. I work with people all over the country via phone, email, and internet.

To be honest with you, I would work with you, whether you were in the woods or not, if I trusted you. I don't trust you because I feel like you blame things for your problems without really trying to figure out how to overcome them. I read a lot of the stuff you write and it feels very angry to me.

Sometimes I agree with what you say and sometimes I don't. That's not the point. I work with a lot of people I disagree with all the time, but it feels to me like there is something missing in your awareness of reality. There's a gap there. I'm not sure where it comes from. Most people I work with, everyone I work with, myself included have these gaps. The problem with you is that you are hiding yours, even from yourself. You portray an image, here and on your blog of great understanding, but I don't know if that's true, because you seem to lack an understanding of free will and internal motivation.

You're picking it up a little better in this post. You own your ideas. You are responsible for their execution. In the past, it was almost as if you wanted to convince everyone that you are great and therefore your idea must be great and therefore, it's difficult for you to understand why no one would want to work with you. But what are you working on? Where is your work? That bit seems to be missing.

Anyway, I sense some pain in you. Some frustration. Some loneliness. That's not everyone else's fault though. There's a reason you choose to live in the woods. Right?
