Imagine there is a leech stuck on your body sucking blood. You will now have to eat more to replenish the blood. Here is the kicker though, the leech gets bigger as it sucks out more blood out of your body and therefore it will start draining more blood from your body.

You go to your doctor and he says take these pills they will make your body grow bigger. As the leech gets bigger you must get bigger which means you must take more pills. If you stop taking the pills, the leech will outpace your body growth and your body will suffer from anemia despite having more blood in your body than the average healthy human.

Suddenly everyone gets a fetish for being as large as an possible, it is good for your health, nobody ever questions whether they should just get rid of the leech and get their body to a normal height.
Android only?

Um... OK.
> This is the same shtick from from a known anti-DM guy.

Whether it's a "shtick" or not, his basic point seems like one that is worthy of some kind of substantive counter argument, if one exists. His basic point is that small galaxies orbiting larger galaxies should experience Chandrasekhar dynamical friction if dark matter exists, but no such thing is observed. Therefore dark matter cannot exist.

Has any astrophysicist who supports the dark matter hypothesis published a counter argument to this?

Edit: A published paper of Kroupa's that gives much more detail about his point is here:

Bike gears wear out pretty fast too, so you'd want to factor that into the equation (different schools of thought on this; some replace the cassette every time the chain is replaced, some replace it every 2-3 chains, some replace chains much much frequently so that they don't have to replace the cassette as often).

I'm curious how often you'd need to replace other moving parts on the stringbike; at a guess since there's much less exposed metal-on-metal there'd be less wear.
That original use of the phrasal template is still valid, but today’s common use is when X goes though some sort of transition, is “reborn” in a new form, or when people realize that something which has generally been presumed dead is still around.

If you think of “King” as a role, this modern use is not that different than the original use. The capital-K role of King didn’t die, but continues in another form.
100% this. The only people who will leave when things get harder are those who respect themselves enough to not want to waste their time anymore (as they should)
Yeah, well the obvious answer is that $200 < $600, so the line must be somewhere between $200 and $600.
The web is already semantic and machine-readable. The machine reads and interprets the HTML code and displays the semantic meaning of the page to the user.

If you want the machine to read the same meaning out that the human does, you need a smarter machine, not a different format.

It's so obvious to me I'm flabbergasted others here on HN don't think so.

In app browsers that display content unrelated to the app itself (like links from creators) serve zero purpose to the user and offer a horrible user experience. So why is the browser in-app then? I thought the answer was obvious: to track you.

Maybe some people prefer in-app browsers?

Here's a few cases against degrowth:

- https://noahpinion.substack.com/p/people-are-realizing-that-...

- https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2019-10-23/econom...

The TL;DR is "the idea that economic growth requires growth in resource use is false; rich countries have started to grow while using less and less of the planet’s most important resources."
This would seem to be only a temporary local solution. Once world population stabilizes or starts shrinking, you can only increase population by exporting the problem to somebody else.

Everyone on this thread is making a lot of assumptions about my mental state. None of you know whether I am or am not autistic.

It's called a spectrum because there's a range. Some people are further out on the spectrum than others. Some people are autistic in one way but not another. One form of autism might be absolute pitch (distinct from perfect pitch in that you can hear semi-tones; Jacob Collier has this but might not choose to describe it as autism). It is a spectrum.

My point was that we are all somewhere on the spectrum. I don't pretend to be able to identify with anyone else's mental state, all I can narrate are my projections and the projections I receive back from others.
I'll rephrase:

Curiously not listed: xterm, which has close to the lowest latency of any open source TE. But who uses that anymore?
The tiktok thing is so annoying. It's not even possible to get the URL of the page you're viewing so you can open it in another app, and you can't long press any links to copy them either (neither in the in-app browser or in a user's bio). It makes it so frustrating when someone has social media links in their bio, because there's literally no way to open them in a different app short of manually typing out the URL. I understand why they do it (data collection/tracking), but it's a horrible user experience.
The new edge computing fad. These companies need a way to bring the database to the edge too, so they are heavily promoting sqlite as the best thing since slice bread to sell their services as the one solution to all your problems :)
We owned a Toyota Hybrid that someone totaled at ~100k miles, had the factory pads on it. I expect the pads on all of our Teslas to last the life of the vehicles. It’s a minor benefit, but super nice to not need to bother with pad and rotor replacements.
Their success will depend on whether they sell tickets at market price or price gouge like ticketmaster.
I should also add to this comment that I think every individual _should_ review their own consumption and debt, and I have a lot of respect for those that do minimize their footprint.

I also strongly support taxes and regulation that prevents people from consuming more than their fair share, or passing off the true cost of their consumption to others.

I only meant to say that government policies that ask people to consume less across the board will never fly.
> [H]aving a paranoid but blame-free culture is critical for security. The three employees who fell for the phishing scam were not reprimanded. We’re all human and we make mistakes. It’s critically important that when we do, we report them and don’t cover them up.

That sounds to me like a very healthy culture. I wonder how many other organizations are similar?
Apple could solve this problem in Webkit. But Android is more complicated. On Android, third-party browser engines are allowed. Google cannot prevent an app from shipping its own browser engine for in-app browsing experience.

Yes, I think actual browsers should be allowed to do nothing when seeing it. Strongly against anything that would make it harder to use Firefox.

My understanding is that both app stores already have a concept of "this is a web browser" vs "this is an app that includes an in-app browser" and so this is pretty practical?
There's a spare string provided in the seatpost; claims to take 10 minutes to replace and no tools required.

But as with all riding, it depends on use-case. For remote cycling, you'll be carrying more spares than commuting, where worst-case you can walk the bike home.
All theories are stories. All communicated information is stories. Stories is just a word, it has pejorative meaning in context. Bible Stories are not like physics stories. A lot of physics stories are subject to test, null hypothesis, disproof.

The stories which persist are useful. Calling them theorems or theory helps us rei-fy stories into propositions which can be used to do science. Science is about modelling things, understanding things, and testing things. It is a valid proposition to argue DM is defined by stories which remain untestable, but the proposition there are better alternatives ignores that to construct stories without DM which are better will demand addressing the problems DM has to exist, to define the blank spaces in other, testable stories. You think Absolute zero exists? It's just a story. We haven't got there, we got close, we observe what happens, but this mythical zero point.. What good is it, if we can't get there? I love temperature, the whole thing depends on a fantasy...

Do not confuse your projection of "what is reality" with reality. I love HN, where people make asserts which don't mean what they think they mean!
4 per year seems relatively high to me.

They aren't minor plans either - they include carbombings, bombing buildings, targeted assassinations.

There is one where someone was sending money to al-Qaeda in Kashmir. That seems the least serious (as in it wasn't a planned attack on US soil).

The "something" that "is wrong here" though is not merely a mathematical inconsistency in the amount of force or speed you expect. That may have been true when dark matter was first proposed as a solution for the weird spinning behavior of galaxies in 1933, but not so any more.

Dark matter is an actual physical reality that you can see with your normal human eyeballs in a photograph. The light emitting stuff is in one part of the picture, and the gravity causing stuff is in another part of the picture. You can see it with your own eyes. The bulk of the gravity of galaxies is separable from the bulk of its visible matter.

Dark Matter is the class of hypotheses that explains this plain observational reality by supposing some kind of invisible matter, which is the only explanation that fits what the photographs show.

Any attempt to discredit it must be accompanied with an alternative explanation of how the gravitational mass of galaxies seems to be removable from their visible material.

This article is like denying that the sun exists, without positing an alternative for where daylight comes from.
That’s what Spectrum has done with my cable modem. It used to be 200/20 now it’s advertised as 300 with no upload speed advertised. Ookla tells me it is now 320+/10, but sometimes only 9 up. Uploads are reminiscent of my DSL line 20 years ago.

Since when is a software engineer's output measured in "tickets" per month?

That said I agree with the idea that someone that adds value that is some reasonable multiple of their salary gets to keep their job. If they're not adding value because they can't perform their job or don't care they should not keep their job. If they're not adding value because of how they're managed their manager should not keep his job. If this issue is endemic in the company that probably means the CEO shouldn't keep their job... In an ideal world anyways.

If they don't agree with the hole in the other theories which use DM to reconcile observations, thats an issue worth exploring. If they just don't like the DM label on those holes, its a fine point. What do you want to call the emerging shape in theory which is a hole, in otherwise very fine, testable propositions?
Can someone with an actual physics background clarify my understanding:

My interpretation of "dark matter" isn't that it's literally "matter" that is invisible and we are trying to find a way to detect it and interact with it.

Rather it's just a shorthand term that explains our math. We detect gravity. The only thing that we know that makes gravity is matter. We detect more gravity for the amount of matter we see. Therefore we call what we cannot detect "dark matter". But that's it. We have no other semblance that it is somehow "matter". We might as well call it "Unknown Gravity Generator".

Is that right or am I off base?

If I'm right, then could it just be as simple that gravity Works Differently at galactic scales much the same way that everything works differently at quantum scales and relativistic (ie high velocity) scales? And as such, we don't really need to "find" dark matter, but rather we just need to find out exactly under what circumstances the equations change - much as Einstein did for relativity? And it's a super hard problem because while we can make things move at the speed of light in a lab, we can't really give something galactic mass in a lab, and observing galactic-masses in the real world on a human scale is very hard as any relevant measurements would require multiple lifetimes to observe (hypothetically)

If I'm wrong, in what other ways is dark matter "matter-y" that makes it a useful term? And do scientists believe there is a chance we could actually be able to "generate" it an experimental environment?
META was not bribed. Individuals were bribed, that's a monster difference.

Also, if you're not getting 'engagement' it's 99.999% chance that something other than 'bribery' is happening.

Shenanigans are common, but this specific kind is not very common. I'm doubtful people at META are going in on some schemes like this.
I had assumed this with all browsers, otherwise why are they free?

Ive been told by a very destinguished person (Judge) that "if its too good to be true then its not (i.e. something expensive is rediculously cheap, its obviously stolen), and anyone with a highschool education +, could determine that."

why would a judge say that if its not true = must be true

when thats the way the law sees it, then its kind of hard to argue. "nothing in life is free"

I guess we'll find out soon enough. Not sure if you count publicly known stuff like Bitfinex<>Tether, Coinbase<>Circle<>USDC, FTX<>Solana etc. Then we have initiatives like Binance Ventures and others who have gotten themselves involved all over the place as owners.

Maybe some roads somewhere were built for bicyclists, but I don't think you can generally say that when there are literally 6000 year old paved roads leading to Ur. Horse drawn carriages and wagons would benefit from roads and were probably much more common and important to business/transport than bicycles until the 20th century.

This is a good point, but it’s all I can see. It’s not like there are famous NASA and NIST closed source software projects.

It’s hard to judge “great programmers” so I think the best is to proxy using whatever factors you have access to.

I guess it could also be books written and presentations given. Or contributions to other projects using nasa and nist addresses.

Point being, I don’t think there’s any evidence to think that nasa and nist have great progs.
Analogies are great for explaining versions of complex theories, but they rarely prove or disprove the theory because they aren't a 1:1 mapping to the theory, they're analogous. Similar. But similar is not "is the same"
Your article is a Tesla fansite which links to a "study" done by ... Tesla. It's a bit odd to criticize the previous poster on one of several links/sources they included if that's your counter.

I have seen the “floaters” but it’s rare. What is worse are the occasional people (and some companies have lots more of this than others) that are a net negative impact to the productivity. There are different reasons but sometimes they believe that their work adds value but in the end it’s really just creating inefficiencies (like creating processes for process sake, work about work etc). That’s how large companies with everything going for them can easily start loosing their edge - when there’s more “no” people than “yes” people!

I was in college in 2008, got my first job doing support for a local ISP for ~$11/hr. I loved the work but hated the pay, which lead me to pursue starting a company (Which didn’t take off) so I relocated and started a pretty good career.

At the time did I feel anything? With nobody to support and living with my parents that would be a resounding no. But I do remember the vibe was pretty gloomy as I worked side by side with much older, more experienced people somewhere between the ends of their careers and retirement, who had to settle for an hourly paycheck.

IMHO we aren’t anywhere close to that situation. But even if it were, it might be a blessing in disguise. I guess it just depends.
Apologies for late reply, busy day - I'm happy to throw in with the dot points made by roessland on this.
You yourself recognize porn is an "easy option". Then no wonder people for whom it is hard to successfully form relationship that would lead to sex use it. It's like saying "cars are bad because it's too easy to just drive 100km instead of walking the same distance", ignoring the fact that for many people walking 100 km is either completely impossible or massively harder. That doesn't mean cars make you unable to walk (though in some very extreme cases it could happen). It means some people that previously had no options, now at least have this inferior one.
Yeah at least several years ago I had an explanation for this (though I’m not sure if it still applies). Basically, I think one reason for this weird type of interview is that it was an indirect way to bias towards young hires.

Young people have that energy and naïveté to do a lot of the grunt work. And most work at any established company is kind’ve grunt work. Anyways, just a random theory but nowadays it may be backfiring.
Eventually these ladders have a top. The 20th century is a mere aberration in growth in human timescales. It's easy to say this is the best - but we're simply biased - it was the best, for us, for a time, largely due to hegemony. The cracks are rapidly showing. Eventually knew value can't be created out of massive scientific advancements (low hanging fruit) we've had. New value will come from others (labor cost reductions to the far east, for example.)
Just a note that neither Pichai nor Zuckerberg actually said the words: "Too many employees, but few work". This is just recycled from another news site [1] which chose to summarize their comments that way.

It's a bit suspicious both tech companies started complaining about productivity around the time the market started to turn. Management is happy to collect their bonuses when things are going well but seem quick the blame the workers when they aren't. Also, it's not like these these companies aren't still outrageously profitable.

Just because an employee is content 'meeting expectations' doesn't mean that they are dead weight. The managers set the expectations and if they're meeting them then the engineer is more than pulling their weight (i.e the company benefits exceeds their compensation, which for these companies is something like $1.6 million per employee). Like any large human organization, these companies are lumbering schizophrenic bureaucratic beasts with innumerable layers of management pulling in different directions so yeah there isn't great productivity but the workers aren't to blame for that nor has the situation been any different for the last decade.
