Two excellent resources on this. [1] A memo written by analysts at Boeing who were clearly pissed off about the outsourcing situation and how counterproductive it all was, and [2] an article about the cultural changes that took place at Boeing after the executives from McDonnell Douglas took over.

That second article contains this incredible line from their CEO circa 2006

"When people say I changed the culture of Boeing, that was the intent, so that it’s run like a business rather than a great engineering firm.”
Reminds me of TransitScreen (rebranded to Actionfigure). I remember seeing one at friend's building in NYC, showing time to the next subway, train, Uber, citibike availability, etc. I loved the look of it and always thought about building something similar for my home.

Ukrainian forces are taking up defensive positions. It’s the Russians that need to stay on the move. Ukrainian forces are currently blocking roads and blowing up bridges. Russians need to establish supply lines.
Why did you bring it up if it was irrelevant? Suspicious and very deranged behavior.
Quite a few of those are completely done with Russia and their 'protection'.

If you leave your enemy no way to retreat, you force them to keep fighting. It may feel satisfying to prosecute Putin. It would be justice, but it may not be wise. (I hate that it is so, but... leave him an out.)
Interesting, this doesn't seem to work on Android Chrome, at least not on HN. Although you got me poking through the settings, I discovered you can enable text-scaling in the Accessibility settings, and that works! Thanks
"The cutthroat internal politics of Apple under Steve Jobs — strong personalities with large egos — amidst tumultuous technical drama (see timeline below) sounds like the makings for a damn good show like Succession)"

Halt and Catch Fire and Silicon Valley (leaving aside Jobs) have arguably already successfully covered this ground from a reasonably safe biographical distance.
In Russia they've been preparing for this and were slowly moving to use their inside systems at least for the transactions inside the country. As well as they've been preparing for the moment their internet infrastructure might be cut off from the rest of the world (Cheburnet). It's only delaying the inevitable, Russia was clearly heading for isolating itself from the influence of the west.
Redundancy is often viewed as a waste. This is a nice take that runs counter to that conventional wisdom.
Author here: I want to note that I am trying my best to resurrect the /r/cybiko subreddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/cybiko/). I recently managed to convince the Reddit Admins to allow me to moderate the subreddit, since the moderator who previously had it had set it to "approved posters only" mode. Finally, people can post there. If you're interested at all in preserving this short lived strange piece of early 2000s weirdness, I'd love to see you there!

>I don't even know what the implication they're trying to make is. Are they saying that the airplanes crashed because some incompetent Indians wrote the software?

The implication is that Boeing cares so little about the quality of the product that they are willing to pay $9 an hour for it.

Anyway, regardless of the merits of the offshore team, Boeing is still responsible for any flaws in their work product. You can't just point fingers at your subcontractors when you're the one who hired them and then signed off on their work.
You realize you are not the intended audience?
> The bitcoin community moved away from accepting '0 conf' transactions pretty much everywhere because of this reason.

They moved away from 0 conf because of the high fees, making payments sometimes get stuck for days or weeks, making 0 conf much less trustworthy.
Russia might be looking into doing it, but they don't have enough fuel to do it so far (hence a bunch of neglected machinery that run out of fuel) . Railroads to russia were blown in last few days and there is a lot of pissed of people hunting down fuel tracks.

Also Kyiv is kinda big city. Encircling and occupying it's two very different things
Read my comment more closely.

> some cryptocurrencies have expected cash flows

Ethereum has cash flow which is expected to go positive after they switch their consensus model from mining to staking this year.

At this point, I wouldn't buy any crypto that doesn't at least have a credible roadmap towards positive cash flow.
> While later proven to be false

They were largely debunked in realtime. The western media (I believe the Guardian specifically) published the receipts on the artillery balloon filling vehicles that Britain sold Iraq that the US/UK were trying to pass of as vehicles of mysterious origin that had to be mobile WMD labs before Powell’s presentation to the UNSC. At which meeting, other US allegations were debunked by UN inspectors. Heck, the British government memos about the way intelligence was being shaped to sell the war were leaked before the war the started.

The American/British public went along with the war because of racist hysteria whipped up after 9/11, not any evidence that was uncontroversial at the time but later debunked.

It's often sold as intelligence or media failure or clever executive deception that brought the public and lawmakers along and was later seen through, but that's largely B.S. The lies were documented in fairly stark terms before the war for the public and lawmakers, and they chose to go to war anyway because they didn't care about the facts. But narrowly focusing the blame on the media and the Bush Administration/Blair government lets everyone else absolve themselves.

128 MB is also the base requirement for 10.2, 10.3, and 10.4 (although at least 10.3 will run with much less than that in practice).
Another big factor is that we lie about capacity when making up the numbers. We assume summer numbers under ideal conditions and not actual daily average capacity or minimum daily capacity. Just going from summer to winter greatly reduces energy production per day not even including weather events.
It's not about the sarcasm, it's about the engineering challenge.
Lots of differences here:

1.American soldiers are hired professionals, paid well to do a job. Most of the Russians are conscripts which are treated like shit and don’t want to be there.

2.US media had hyped up hatred towards Saddam for months. Soldiers got lots of hate training before being deployed . They got trained to dehumanize and hate Iraqis. This was very effective but backfired because it led to trigger happy soldiers shooting and blowing up way too many civilians, thus undermining the war effort.

3. Iraq is a far away country Americans cannot relate to or empathized with. Ukraine is a country many Russians are strongly linked to with family, culture and language. This is like the US attacking Canada. How do you think that would go? Americans would hesitate a lot more to shoot Canadians than Iraqis.
I'm creating a language and transpiling to C. At this point I'm about 80-90% of the way to v1 and transpiling to C is working well so far but I'm aware of the possibility that I may need to change it in the future. However, I absolutely love that a programmer using my language has the ability to write C code when needed, similar to how Python has C extensions.
If internal combustion cars powered by renewable synthetic fuel could be anywhere near half as efficient as BEVs, wouldn't that be a great problem to have?

"Imagine a lossless conversion" is obviously doing a lot of work here, but even if they're only 1% as efficient end-to-end as BEVs, that would still be fine in a world where we had more renewable power than we needed without the capacity to store it all. BEVs would eventually be pushed to dominance by market forces, while in the meantime we would accelerate our transition to net-zero emissions.
I definitely have a lot of opinions about this :D. The main one is that RTK was fantastic (as are the docs!), and createEntityAdapter was definitely better than the equivalent that I wrote before finding it... A few more specific thoughts though:

- createEntityAdapter was great, but one idea for an addition: I dislike having numbers as IDs (Will floating point precision bite me? Will I accidentally treat them as actual numbers? Do I need to cast them back for lookups or equality checks?), but I didn't get around to moving to strings, and preserving the sorting and ID generation with that in mind. Maybe RTK could bundle some utilities for managing this, like sorting functions and/or ascending ID generation to save others from my fate? I'll definitely start with these next time.

- I really liked the Slice API in RTK, but I felt like I wanted to run nested slices quite a lot - breaking up serialisable state (ie. user data) and page state, but then breaking down further into individual data types or pages respectively, so that pages could "own" their own state (and maybe get as far as something like a managed Mixin for a page state, like the recurring transaction table). I spent some time writing a way to compose Slices, but I found that it made things probably more complicated than it needed to be - even if you end up with a load of useAccountsPageState-style duplication which is maintained manually. (I'll admit this was a while ago, so my memory of why I decided against this is a little rusty...).

- I hadn't seen useAppDispatch and useAppSelector - I'll definitely swap over my copy of them in https://github.com/Athenodoros/TopHat/blob/main/src/state/sh... ...

- I definitely got that the expected pattern is createAsyncThunk (or useDispatch more broadly) rather than my separate functions using TopHatDispatch. I spent some time tooling about with migrating over, but I felt like it was an additional abstraction layer that I didn't really need. I eventually went with a fairly strict flow of "Types -> Storage Logic -> Store Definition -> Actions -> Components" which dealt with the circular imports. I'd be interested in other thoughts behind the best practice though - maybe they're more obvious with other people, or a larger project?
> Yes, it's fascinating to watch the West impose its own culture into everything - even warfare.

Gee, I wonder where we learned it from...
When it was Toyotas fictitious problem it came down to a bunch of old people.

Yeah, right. Blame it on "old people". Certainly not the code base with 10,000 global variables:

The design review found things like: Other egregious deviations from standard practice were the number of global variables in the system. (A variable is a location in memory that has a number in it. A global variable is any piece of software anywhere in the system can get to that number and read it or write it.) The academic standard is zero. Toyota had more than 10,000 global variables.

That original link is now broken. I don't think Toyota paid to scrub it, probably just decay.
He's Ukranian, recruited by the Russians to burn buildings for $5K which he was promised. Not the sharpest knife in the drawer.
Why does scale always come up as an excuse in these discussions? If one employee can profitably monitor 10k uploads per day, a thousand employees can profitably monitor 10m.
I can confirm, I'm building a language with all sorts of crazy innovations and did not take the approach that this article does. However, now that I'm 80-90% of the way to v1 with my syntax and features finalized, I'm actually starting to go back through and clean up the code in ways that formalizes it a bit more.
plants are 99.9999% carbon from carbon dioxide, though... what?

edit: i mean of the things in a plant that contain carbon and don't, 99... whatever percent of a plant is atmospheric carbon. all the soil amendments added are to replace stuff like fungus that normally forms a relationship with nearby plants and gives nutrients that plants use to modulate energy production and transpiration (or whatever), similar to how we need all of the "salts" to have a functioning brain. N-P-K lets plants more efficiently turn atmospheric carbon into food than without. Couple this with the fact that humans use nearly all of a plant now, to make cooking oil, fuel oil, and animal feed, there's nothing left after we harvest for the fungus to eat.

I normally would have launched into a diatribe against bayer/monsanto as a reply about stuff like this, but as it stands, i'm fine with careful and scientifically sound application of N-P-K for huge farms. I do, however, have a problem with pesticides and their "inactive" ingredients, not the least of which due to drinking water from an untreated well, myself.

Also i know it's not 99.9999%.
I lived in Shanghai, which is too warm for snow in the winter. But it's still freezing cold; when I wasn't running heat (because I didn't know how), I'd wake up in the morning with my toes suffering from frostbite. I was miserable all the time until I obtained a space heater.
Five minutes or five centuries, Ukraine is internationally recognized as a separate democratic nation (unlike, say, Transnystiria which is a breakaway from Moldova and is NOT recognized as a separate state by anyone who matters).

I’m not sure why you’re downplaying the horrific tragedy occurring in Ukraine right now.
Very few people accurately said he was going to invade. The president of Ukraine said like two days before hand that it was unlikely. Tryin to make specific predictions at this time about what he will or will not do is not a good idea.

Technically it's not something limited to hardware tokens. You can conceivably do something similar with username/password authentication, as long as the credentials are sent to the browser and not the site.
(author here) How does that relate to the article? It's definitely an important principle of network design, but the narrow waist principle is distinct.

The waist isn't the middle of the network as far as connectivity; it's the architectural middle with applications on top and transports on bottom. I think these are mostly separate issues, but I'm interested in any elaboration.
I don't know what I'm looking at or why and I think these combos are incredibly loud. But I love them. I'm not good at anything related to aesthetics.

Show HN: Asyncc Jobs: a job board to accelerate async work culture
2 years of remote work has proved us that this isn't the utopia we imagined we will get. There is something more. And that is async work style.

I believe async work is the future. That's why I built this job board to accelerate the async work style.
Please give me some support and write feedback. Thank you.
Tinder is basically 5/100 guys getting all the matches per 90/100 women.
That's the rub, isn't it? I feel some of the least secure places are the ones which never mention (or realize) that they have a security problem.

I don't have any particular opinion of Gitlab, but it does seem to be that acknowledging fault is more valuable than the alternative. If I were to attack a service, I'd probably tend to avoid the one that actively updates it's security regularly.
I think this is the real answer though you won't ever hear them say it out loud. Gas was the reason they got involved in Syria too. Keeping Assad in power enabled them to stop a gas pipeline from being built from the middle east through Syria to the EU.

No, you mentioned stocks not having future expected cash flows. I just don't see the difference between that and Ponzi schemes, even if there are some real examples of this
I can see the use cases for VR, and I'm interested in the hardware. The circle I can't square is the idea that people love consumerism so much, they just want to transfer the experience into a Facebook marketplace for cosmetic items in some kind of VR walled garden. This is the part that I find uncomfortable and dystopian.

I'd much rather have standalone games of high quality, and hardware capable enough for good desktop computing use cases as an alternative to a monitor.
From early Windows CE memories, Microsoft's mobile hubris always seemed to start from "desktop Windows is the best OS." Ergo, the closer to desktop Windows they could put on mobile devices, the happier people would be.

Blackberry, Palm, and Apple all realized that given hardware and interface limitations, a better solution was to cut the Gordian knot and strike a different balance between desktop and something else.

Honestly, any of the three had a shot at being Apple. Palm had Graffiti and really slick for the time OSs. Blackberry had iMessage of their own. But Apple had a more complete package + Apple fans + iTunes.
I've got a suspicion that Russian military procurement has its own share of grifters. Maybe even as high as the US does. Maybe even higher.

If you will skim through article, it's kinda becomes more clear. Opinion expressed there with regards to Ukraine are shared by many Russians, based on what I observed.
Yes, it's an age-old dilemma, to try to soften the aggressor or to stand up to him. Delaying the confrontation hoping something will change for the best vs standing the ground and fighting back.
Some lessons from the not that recent history might suggest that choosing the former might lead to quite a disaster.
I googled it a bit and that seems to be it and what made sense to me, having obsessively played probably only hundreds of games of Spire.
That’s a weird sentiment. Are you an American? Imagine if Ukrainians said that right now.
Of course, also Tinder's profit is directly dependant on you not finding a partner, so you continue to use their service.
I believe old OkCupid data (which has since been deleted from their blog) found exactly this.

In short, males looking for females are very even in their rating of women along a bell curve. Females looking for males heavily skew towards the top 20% of males, while considering the bottom 80% "below average".

Tinder, and every other dating app, absolutely take advantage of this deep truth of human psychology and milk the bottom echelon of desperate men for every penny they can.
Jobs if I recall correctly had tried to hire Linus to work on Darwin. I don’t believe the Linux on iPhone/iPad project had any meaningful realistic traction beyond engineering proposing it as a path forward and building the prototypes on it. My impression was that it was a nonstarter politically.

But then what? Someone downloads and plays a game for an hour, gets banned, then goes through the whole process of having to do all that again?

Doesn't seem like a good user experience. All to get a free hour of gameplay?

There are easier ways of pirating games. The only possible usecase for this kind of fraud would be if you can buy digital items, transfer and then sell those digital items.

But even then, that might be difficult to do all in 10 minutes.
Disclaimer: I think Tinder is a rent-extracting garbage app, BUT, philosophically speaking, why is dynamic pricing unfair? If the algorithm detects that based on your biography, location and usage patterns, you would keep using this service even if it charged you 5x as much, isn't that just the market becoming more efficient?

This is developing horribly for both Russia and Ukraine and the rest of us. It's pretty obvious that invasion was a mistake for Russia and it's pretty obvious that there is no way back. Putin cannot accept any compromise in this situation for political reasons nor can he accept defeat. Zelensky initially suggested something about neutrality guarantees, but now he has reached the bravery and bravado level of Djohar Dudayev. Not that neutrality guarantees would ever pass Rada in the first place.

Everyone is cheering this nonsensical war on the side lines. Civilians are being encouraged to throw molotovs at Russian invaders and automatic weaponry is being issued indiscriminately. Every country is giving Ukraine weaponry and keeps buying Russian energy.

Both sides have no way back, nobody is going to stop anyone. Ukrainians are extremely proud and suicidal (just look their anthem - "Ukraine hasn't perished YET"). The war will rage on and it will the biggest humanitarian crisis our generation has seen..
You get to see people who have "liked" you, so you can like them back directly. For guys, who generally get *nowhere near* the number of likes as women, this can help them find people that actually want to meet them.

Or, they could use one of those automated finger-swiping things, like some guys tend to do.
Not a Tinder user or investor, but this makes me curious. Why is it okay for insurance companies to sell me products with hyper-personalized pricing (often based on sex, age, and race), but it's not okay for Tinder or other tech companies to do so?
