Agile is ADHD coping mechanisms application to groups. Small steps, frequent measurements, body doubling, regular reminders about the actual goal, etc.
It wasn’t even a project management tooling originally, but a way to ensure bidirectional information flow and continuous course correction. When goals start deceptively simple and get adjusted as data emerges and feedback gets collected, you can either sit in paralysis or start checking off tasks you know about. Applies to cleaning and developing a payment system alike.
For a public infrastructure, unattended remote updates are a vulnerability. This is clearly and openly explained in the article.
Especially for countries where vast majority of workforce commutes using said infrastructure. A single uncontrolled update could cripple not just transportation, but every other public service.
The Chinese model featured a SIM card that allowed the manufacturer to remotely install software updates that made it vulnerable, whereas the Dutch model did not.
Everything you needed to know was openly stated in the article. But you love riding that imaginary tall horse of yours.
First, Omarchy doesn’t need funding or partners. It’s backed by a Nazi multimillionaire.
Second, the whole apolitical argument is bullshit. Everything is political. Support for a distro that doesn’t really need support by nature of being a child of a Nazi multimillionaire is a support for that Nazi multimillionaire.
“We didn’t support them because of that” means nothing. The support still sends a message. Just like artist loses control over interpretation of their art the moment they release it, people lose control over interpretation of their actions the moment they act. Does it sound fair? Maybe not, but it’s how reality works.
Reality is, outside of speciation events, vast majority of traits are neutral. And humanity hasn’t really faced a speciation event yet. We’re isolated as a species on our branch because everything else either died out or merged with us, not because we got forced through an evolutionary bottleneck.
It’s compelling to try and attribute inquisitiveness and borderline suicidal drive to explore to ADHD, but such attribution can be made to a number of traits with the same level of credibility - namely, “we don’t know but it sounds nice”.
That’s a nice story, but it reeks of trying to set a narrative to evolution.
Meanwhile, for the actual evolutionary process ADHD doesn’t have to be beneficial at all. As long as it’s a not-too-crippling side-effect of beneficial mutations, it gets a pass.
But then why are we bringing evolution into this story? ADHD is highlighting a problem with a way faster process than that one. Specifically, how the hell are we modifying our societies that a significant percentage of population whose behaviour you can find enshrined in anecdotes suddenly finds themselves constantly overwhelmed by normalcy?
PS: Dopamine starvation hypothesis doesn’t seem to have evidence backing it and looks to originate from influencers, not scientific process.
PS: When you read „country A is renting prisons in country B”, your first reaction should be „what the fuck is going on in country A”, not „what’s wrong with prisons in country B”. The fact that it wasn’t tells a lot about your character.
