Whether one thinks that Rupert Murdoch is a supervillain who manipulates politics in the UK and Australia as easily as a dog's owner gives orders to his pet, or merely an influential billionaire media mogul who gets the ear of world leaders like other billionaire media moguls, my point stands: There is no "there" in the EU for him to talk to.
I find this attitude to be the same as kids not telling on the bully because it’ll make things worse. The guy lost a four figure bonus for no sane reason. Keeping quiet isn’t going to make anything better. You either speak with HR or firstly maybe your boss’s boss. Maybe things are a bit different if you work in one of the places where you can be fired at will but generally you have employment rights that will protect you.
Indeed, I still have one backend in production built back then with Drumbeat. Its UI was very new and rebuilt/consulted with Alan Cooper of Thunder/Visual Basic/About Face fame.
worst: I have in two companies before being exposed to "Toxic Culture". Before working in my 3rd company, I didn't imagine that there are "engineers" who would go behind my back and just talk sh*t about the whole team. I left after few months, but to this day, I still couldn't process it. Culture does matter.
I don't like Jira that much, but this is just blatantly false.

> A cache-less refresh for me on a blazing fast dev machine takes between 3-10 minutes on a normal day, though it might only take 1m if the internet gods are feeling particularly merciful

I use Jira daily, it's nowhere near this bad. It's not fast, but pages load in about 5 seconds.

> changing ticket status can't be done without opening separate pages

You select the new state from the drop-down and set it. This is available through a few different routes/views.

Their search looks through title and description, what else do you want?

If you let them, of course. If you don't close the tickets, what did you expect to happen?
You know, that's not too different from how HN works.
Most Taiwanese fear that they have to re-unite with China. I personally don't think that China will invade Taiwan. If mainland Chinese people will see, that their government is bombarding other Chinese I'm not sure if they approve of that and realize that they don't want to belong to China. The biggest goal of the Communist government is to stay in power. It will probably be too dangerous for them to risk. And by the way, young Taiwanese and Taiwanese that live for many generations in Taiwan don't think they are mainland Chinese. They are Chinese heritage but I haven't heard one say we want to re-unite with China. There are many newer generations from mainland China in Taiwan that probably don't mind as much but people from old families in Taiwan for sure don't associate themselves with mainland China.
> So if we want to answer the question, how much uncertainty is there in where the missile will be in X seconds, the correct metric is actually lateral G force, not turning radius.

I'm sure that if you draw the situation for yourself on a paper, it will be more readily apparent to you how the two are basically the same thing.

> So if we want to answer the question, how much uncertainty is there in where the missile will be in X seconds, the correct metric is actually lateral G force, not turning radius. The interceptor missile cannot simply have a higher lateral G than the target and be assured it will hit it. Indeed, the Python 5 missile you mentioned wouldn't be able to hit the hypersonic missile. Why? It's too slow. The Python 5 will hit Mach 4 shortly after launch and impact around Mach 2 or so. Meanwhile the hypersonic missile will maintain Mach 7+ throughout.

I don't see how what you wrote makes sense. You've limited yourself to the transverse plane. For point defense, that makes perfect sense. But it also makes the longitudinal Mach 7 meaningless, except for the dynamics of the encounter and impact, since that movement doesn't happen in the transverse plane.

> So if the missile, 150km away, increases pitch by 4 degrees, the Python 5 might have to immediately pitch up almost 30 degrees, bleeding of a lot of energy.

You wouldn't be hitting it in this phase of flight. I was speaking solely of terminal defense. Therein might lie your confusion.
Well webpages themselves including links, the embedding would need to be recursive.
I mean it doesn’t require ASICS, it’s just inefficient not to, right? Shouldn’t it be theoretically possible to mount a 51% attack with conventional CPUs (or GPUs), just a lot more of them? I have no idea what kind of computing resources various major states have, but I wouldn’t completely write off the possibility that they have enough CPUs to throw at the problem.
> Additionally, until pretty recently you'd be stuck with the nasty hinge-based touch pad on Mac laptops

I don’t remember that being the case for at least half a decade, while my 2019 Thinkpad still has such an awful trackpad.

I would agree that trackpads are good enough on Linux, but not great like on a MacBook. Things like gesture support are unquestionably better on macOS.

is TSMC doing anything innovative themselves? I thought they just purchase the machines or at least specs from ASML, a Dutch company. So the "best tech" is designed in EU anyway.
I wonder if there was some arm twisting involved here.

For anyone with experience in clinical research, it very literally means: "we don't know what we're doing".
You have three options.

Optimise for user experience (go native)

Optimise for cost (whatever the cheapest developers, or a cross platform solution, like phonegap/pwa/react native)

Optimise for developer experience (use whatever your developers know, maybe native, maybe react native)

In my personal opinion, always optimise for user experience.
Shared code should be in the backend, not in your mobile app. Your mobile app (ignoring camera filters & games, as they should use an engine; unity etc) should just be a JSON viewer, with a small bit of data entry.
80-90% of your efforts should be on UI and user experience, but obviously architecture requirements scales up with the team size.
Anything else is over-engineering, generally.

The amount of leads I get in for mobile apps, that eventually transpire to the client not knowing the app was built in react native, because they heard “native” and assumed Swift/Kotlin, is increasing by the day.
They can’t find enough good developers that know react native, and they don’t have the funds to rewrite.
They’re stuck.
Obviously I, as a native developer, only hear the horror stories from these experiences and not the times it works out.

But in the last 2-3 years, it has killed 2 startups that I know of, and cost 3 a lot of money to rewrite (two of them made that decision before they contacted me, one after they spoke to me, and they were shocked to find out that they didn’t have a Swift app).
I am now having to rescue more clients from react native, than from clients that outsourced to the cheapest agency on Fiverr. Wild!

Side note: why has every app got to expand until it adds messaging? Let a calculator be a calculator, it doesn’t need venture capital and network effects to sell.

Is there a generic name for interfaces that use this paradigm, something that would encompass Mac OS X Quicksilver/Alfred/Launchbar/Spotlight search, Chrome's Omnibox, FZF on the command line, Ctrl T/P in IDEs, etc.

I really like it and would like to adopt more things that use it. "Fuzzy finders" maybe? That doesn't really capture the autocomplete, hotkey to launch part of it which makes up the full flow in my mind.
Cloud JIRA itself is slow, for what it’s worth. Seconds long RTTs — which make using a CLI to bypass the web UI pointless in my experience
People looking for paying customers. Iphone users are much more lucrative. An iPhone is also a status marker which is why most apps start as ios exclusives. It’s much easier to develop for since there are fewer devices and you can expect a certain performance. I would love to see this flipped for the simple reason that I think Apple is complacent and anti-innovation but in the meantime this is the reality we have to deal with.
Well, the EUV lithography equipment that everyone currently uses (and Intel can't figure out how to adapt, apparently) is made in Europe.

Elon isn't an unbiased actor, he strongly optimizes for his companies' success
He is not a bad guy, actually an amazing in how he made electric cars a reality. But he does optimize for his companies success at times, pushing the bounds of morality/ethics. So don't take everything he says as a unbiased, some are strongly biased and some not at all too (otherwise we wouldn't listen to him in the first place).

1. LiDAR: Though use of LiDAR would have provided extra modality to reduce probability of accidents, he kept vehemently opposing it. Practically speaking, back in 2016-2017, Tesla couldn't afford to put a LiDAR in their cars. Most other autonomous companies are not selling those cars but Tesla has to.
2. Bitcoin: He invested $1.2B, trumped it up, sold off 10% of it, made a profit to help show that TESLA is profitable and dissed it after that. Why did he keep the rest, we will know in sometime (or may be never, Hi Elon, if he is reading this).
3. He knew that CA lockdown would have made it extremely difficult for his company and thus kept using fake/on-the-edge news to promote his objectives.
4. Now he needs to show a new story to buy the investors and not spook them, so he will probably release badly-named (and/or half-baked) and potentially[a] dangerous FSD in Beta version.

a. Dangerous in that, some people who either take too much risk or get unlucky would die. This probably won't kill 1000's of people but it could kill a few people.
I understand your point of view, and I respect it. I can't find the motivation to ruthlessly min/max my efficiency like that though. Most people are bound to X hours of work in a day, regardless of raw output. I just think it's worth sacrificing some amount of efficiency to be able to enjoy those hours. I also think that sacrifice is less than it first appears, since you gain a lot of intangible benefits like mindshare, motivation and team cohesion. I don't want to "power through" my work, I want to look forward to it.
does TSMC own any valuable tech? I thought they just purchase the machines from ASML, a dutch company. if there is market for chips, why doesn't some EU company set up a foundry in EU? I'm sure there are many capable companies and the lithography tech is already made in EU.

This is anecdotal of course, but I've addressed people as Sir and have been addressed that way it's always in a friendly way. Usually it's just a sign of respect, you may think they're mocking you but they might just see you as one of the "old crew". It may even be a cultural thing, I've noticed that a lot of my Indian colleagues tend to use it as well. Anyway, when in doubt I'd just ask, otherwise next time someone does it just joke back that if they're calling you Sir, you should probably call them Mr. President, if the response is casual enough it's all good.

At least JPL can certainly update the code in its rovers (at least the main programs, probably not various firmware).

I doubt they incorporated the knowledge of another rover in their code but I believe JPL rovers are “driven” by humans and do not explore autonomously. Due to the delay, the commands are slightly higher level (short term setpoints) but the point is that a human would have to command the rover to drive into another; it wouldn’t happen automatically.
Right, Chinese killing Chinese and approving of that is unheard of :/

Remember that PRC is transitioning from being committee run to a personalistic dictatorship. If the calculus shifts only so slightly that one Xi would find advantages of an attack overweigh the risks, it will happen.

There is much lower decision threshold now with one person in charge. It's only a combination of objective factors: .tw defence potential, America's reading to defend it and criticality of certain Taiwan assets that keep it from happening.
when my missus goes to bed. i can still game without a backlit keyboard. you can't.
Politically it would be ideal to keep everything in Taiwan as this greatly increases the stakes for a potential war.

However there is a pressing shortage of electricity in Taiwan. Just yesterday there had been a major blackout as one of the coal fired power stations suddenly went off the grid. I'm sure TSMC has been given priority supply but they are cutting it extremely close. Taiwan is just not a good place to have more fabs right now.

The shortage is unlikely to get better in the long term, with existing nuclear power stations nearing the end of their service life and the replacement stuck in political limbo. And there are already plans to move all 28nm+ process to China so they could better utilize the resources in Taiwan for the more profitable products.

>You really don't even considered once that injecting spike protein on a regular basis might not be the best thing for you body? This is a harmful protein after all.

We're talking about small amounts here, that aren't replicating. If you have the virus coursing around you get a lot of contact with the real spike protein, which can replicate inside your body.

The body is used to fighting off a lot of viruses and bacteria at the same time. Why would this spike protein, without the attached virus, be different?

After all we can't compare the vaccine to a world without the virus, since we won't get that back. Instead we need to compare the vaccine to the world with the virus.
There is quite a bit of whataboutism when Chinese espionage comes up, however the key difference is that the government has a financial interest in most companies and often shares loot from foreign competitors with local businesses.

Yes, the US, Russia, France, etc. do this too. The big difference is when the government gives Lockheed the design plans for a new Chinese fighter jet the goal is to develop countermeasures and defeats for its technology, not to clone it outright.
Personally I found a very simple approach that works great for me.

In the beginning of the pandemic I tried to reduce social media exposure, to maintain some degree of mental health and reduce distractions.

The way I did it was first to remove all the apps from my phone. This had the added benefit of improving the battery life. This meant that if I wanted to go on fb or Twitter, then I had to use the browser versions which are generally slower, not so optimized for phone usage, and overall the UX is much worse.

Even this though was not enough. Firefox would gladly save my session and despite the subpar UX, I still found myself going back to it more often than I would like.

The solution to this was simple:

Incognito.

Coupled together with a 2FA and disabling the password manager autocomplete by removing the URL from the relevant entries, it made such a huge difference.

Then I started using incognito for more things, like HN, where I would open 6-7 tabs "to read them later" and I never did, so they kept piling up.

For me this works great, especially on the phone. If I really want to read something I read it there and then. If for whatever reason I don't, and android decides to terminate my Firefox then so be it. If I really want to I can search for it again, but then I ask myself whether it is worth it.
This comment section is really funny, because it's really HN incarnate. A bunch of people with enough hubris to want to live forever and implicitly think they can make the world more interesting by staying around a few centuries.
Org mode is easy to get started with if you’re an emacs user. I am one. But before I used emacs, there was no org mode in my life. And let’s face it, while emacs and vim allow you to craft your flow, most people are gonna use something like VSCode. Emacs and Vim have not been able to escape their old school image, even with all their awesomeness.

I’d argue that ease-of-starting also includes how visible something is, since you can quickly find it and find resources for it. Most text editors don’t have org mode or have a small, half baked subset of it at best.

A lot of amazing adjectives apply to org mode. Ease of use isn’t it until it climbs over the emacs wall.

Not trying to be combative. I’d love if more people used org. Would love to be educated here if something I said isn’t accurate.

We are currently talking with a few potential buyers for our SaaS, and had talks in the past as well... Here's my lessons learned:

One didn't proceed at the very last step, without any explanation or feedback, so I have become very careful when engaging into these kinds of conversations.

All of our serious negotiations are small and medium sized organizations,
both customers and competitors where we can extend their offering or have an important tool that generates a lot of their leads, so we usually don't reply to exotic candidates.

We had a few chats with large organisations, but this was mostly a bullying kind of relation, so we did not proceed... I think this is a bit like a poker game: to maximize your odds of winning you need to play in your own league...

The advantage is that, in this "little league”, discussions tend to take anywhere from 3 to 5 meetings and some emails, nothing more; that's the advantage of talking with the company owners directly and not with a big-corp M & A cell...

IME you can be blunt and open, and I strongly suggest to avoid a technical due diligence until the latest phase.

No need to exaggerate numbers, just be open and explain your valuation model; this might be anything, but it needs to buy them good ROI, time, a competitive advantage or a decrease in risk. IME it works the best if they have the capacity to scale up your product, so it's a win-win.

I haven't considered a 10% deposit, but I think this might be a bit too aggressive for European standards in the early talks. However, I think it is a good idea to go through with it once you have an LOI.

It is a challenging process that's not over until the fat lady sings, so try to manage your expectations and be prepared to walk away if it is not a win-win. If you fail to see what their motivating factors are in the deal, just walk away...
> furry JSON arrays with lots of context

Speaking of context, sincere question: what does "furry" indicate in this one? Because I'm guessing it's not about people who like to dress up as animals, but I'm also not sure what the metaphor of "hairy" data represents. Noise? Roughness?
> There is a reason why Atlassian is getting rid of Enterprise Jira, because it’s really hard to build a good hardware solution for running Jira properly.

This has been done wrong by Atlassian.

There sure has been a change in attitude towards tiktok here on hn. Just go back a year or so when Trump tried to ban it (or force a cheap sale to oracle) and tiktok was accused of being an extension of ccp - read the comments from back then.
I can't defend confluence for various reasons, but JIRA? HELL YEAH.

The problem is that JIRA is a powerful tool that is often misconfigured or otherwise made to suck more than it should.

For example on one of my current projects, both JIRA and confluence are put behind malfunctioning SSO meaning you have extra annoying steps that sap your energy and will every time you open them. And then you have to face that someone made a royal mess in it and we have to deal with it - without access to settings to fix IT. And the final nail is that effectively we can't use any external integration, because it's all blocked, including just using the API on your own.

Now, if I had the power of administrator there...

We would have better work flow, with automation supporting human overrides.

We could link issues with our Github Enterprise and use local clients (org-jira, gojira, etc) as well as a bit integration in MS Teams.

And I would fix login so that accessing JIRA or Confluence didn't feel me with annoyance of "where is that fucking RSAID" and "goddamn fix MFA already"
Great writeup! I don't use Coinbase or any cryptocurrencies, but I'm tempted to sign up just to see this React Native application in action. Are there any other great React Native applications you have used on Android? From what I've seen it's mostly Facebook, Instagram, shopping apps, etc... which I don't use.

It doesn't matter if exports are restricted because of "America first" or because of an outright ban. The result is exactly the same.

The UK is also arguing that they don't restrict exports but when asked how many doses were exported, they cite national security concerns and refuse to answer. Whatever that means.
