This is a proven method of market discovery used by companies like Sony. If you watch Sony in early market entry they make a lot of different models. Then they let the market tell them which features sell. Then they collapse the models. Yes, it's expensive. It's also incredibly effective.
The system has actual complexity. Actual complexity can't be abstracted away without reducing functionality. I think git has a poor/opaque command semantics outside the basic functions and the API could use some work. I think that a new review or "most used/useful commands" and an evaluation of whether the API to accomplish them can be simplified.
I've run every one of my companies with some form of everyone participating at a user level regularly. Either through support or using the product. Each type of role gets something out of it. A k8s engineer can achieve more understanding of their mission and connection to how their seemingly siloed activity has a real world impact while more directly product focused roles might gain actual product insight. In my experience employees who genuinely care about what the company is seeking to achieve do gain something from the experience.
Did they call it that? There were IDEs of sort long before Delphi (staying with the Pascal family, even pre-Delphi Turbo Pascal sort of fits - letting you compile and run straight from the editor well back into the 80s), but most were not called an IDE.
It might be even more jarring when a population two years from now is hit by a flu they didn't get almost any exposure to this year. There is a complexity here that is hard to wrap your head fully around.
It's possible that lockdown didn't reduce deaths. Excess deaths is a tricky stat because it contains so much underlying confounding inputs that all you know is that more people died than what you expected based on historical averages and that is --all-- you can get from it reliably.
Yeah I would look for “medical” deaths (as opposed to crime, suicides and accidents) as the metric to compare to covid deaths. Not sure if that data is widely available.
The other thing to add to the mix of ups and downs is that the demographic of covid deaths is overly people with a short life expectancy so I would expect 2021 excess deaths to be reduced by the 2020 covid deaths that would have died in 2021 otherwise.
I agree with this. I think that would be a measure of the direct impact and as long as it also factors in all types of medical deaths. I personally know people who died waiting for a hospital bed for completely unrelated stuff.
These 3x calculations for cloud almost always ignore a real TCO calculation for a real organization and real app deployment and rarely compare capability, flexibility and recovery which have real value, but have tough calculations.
The "along" the spectrum part that most latch on to subconsciously is related to spectrums being a visual measure of energy level. That part does increase along the spectrum. That being said I think her interpretation is much more useful for the actual subject matter and important for people to keep in mind. People with actual diversity will often appear high and low functioning in various ways. It's important to understand that dynamic.
