> This is not why we "know" GR must be wrong.

I don't at all dispute that GR is very well confirmed in many regimes, but it's still an indisputable fact is that GR is definitely wrong because of its singularities. Whether it's wrong in other regimes remains to be seen.

Some like to reframe its breakdown as GR being "incomplete", but that's just a cute euphemism for "wrong". This point couldn't be more obvious so I'm not even sure why you would dispute it.

You can of course argue that GR may only be wrong on small scales or very high energies where quantum effects become relevant, but that's just conjecture. A conjecture with good reasons given GR's empirical success so far, but still not established fact.

How GR fails may or may not impact the argument for DM, but we should acknowledge that the fact that GR is wrong actually might impact the justification for DM, which should already make us more skeptical of the core case for DM.

> So I find myself wondering: do you genuinely not know that MOND "is a thing" already (and has been for decades) in the relevant academic and professional circles?

Of course it's a thing. I'm not sure how I can be more clear on what arguing, so I'll try one last time: while I appreciate the interesting details you've put into your replies, nothing you've said changes the fact that DM's highly regarded status in this field is just undeserved, and that MOND still gets less attention than it deserves given its unexpected predictive successes [3,4].

DM was very plausible early on, but it has repeatedly failed to provide clear predictions and failed to match observations without post-hoc adjustments, where MOND has had some very surprising predictions that matched observations in ways it had no right to if DM were true. I don't believe I ever disputed that MOND also required tuning to match some results, so clearly neither theory is adequate to explain all of our observations in their current forms. At the very least we should be able to agree on that.

Other specific points:

TeVeS is one relativistic generalization of MOND, but hardly the only one possible is it? How much attention has been paid to MOND and relativistic generalizations when compared to tweaking DM theories to match results, would you say? Wouldn't you agree that all of the attention to DM, and the dogma that DM must simply exist [1], detracts from exploring other possible avenues, like questioning assumptions that underlie our theories, as in [2]?

On a final point on tone, I have no idea what you mean by me being enjoying being rude. I haven't said a single rude thing that I can see, I've only disagreed with some interpretations of the data and claimed that DM enjoys an undeserved status as preferred model, and that MOND deserves more attention, all positions with ample evidence.

The standard playbook for arresting specific criminals overlaps with the more extreme playbook you described.

Whether it’s the former or the latter cannot be determined from this arrest alone.
All industries and professions have the same problem - how do you know your new hire is right for you?

So you think that a 6 hour unpaid assignment is unfair. What do you think the alternative should be?

Many of the posts here point out that 'take-home-tests' aren't common in other professions, but completely miss how many free hours other professionals have to do to prove their suitability for potential employers.

Here are some examples:

- Designers, photographers and writers spent countless hours putting together and updating portfolios.

- Anyone part of a professional association (doctors, nurses, pharmacists, engineers, architects, pilots, etc...) spend many hours studying for and writing exams (for free), and then every other year spend hours documenting all of the professional development they have done to maintain their credentials (also for free).

- Many higher responsibility jobs, especially in public institutions and government, require months-long application processes complete with multiple interviews, essay questions, and personality tests.

- Consultants can spend 40 hours or more crafting proposals for every new contract they go after.

- Academics and researchers require regular publications and often do regular peer reviews for free.

I doubt anyone gets a job of any importance based on a resume and a quick coffee unless of course there's nepotism or greek letters involved.

So how should programmers prove themselves to a potential employer? Would you rather have a professional association? or standardize on coding portfolios? Or perhaps you want to go back to the days of three essay questions and a personality test?
tbf, throwing things and little or no crowd control have been around ever since pop concerts became a thing, e.g. shee the Stones at Altamont, or even the Blues Brothers "Rawhide" scene. And people getting shots during public appearances, again, was a thing even before Lincoln.

Mass shootings are definitely a new phenomenon though.
Well, most extensions seem to work great already. But that requires using either Nightly Firefox (and some hacks) or using a fork (like Iceraven) that loads a different extension list.

So, it's easier to switch to browsers like Kiwi Browser (privacy concerns aside so be cautious!) if you want a better extension support experience. Bromite and Vivaldi also have great built-in adblockers but sadly no full extension support.

So, I dropped Firefox on all my devices and moved to Vivaldi + Kiwi Browser and that works like a charm.
> Not a human right

The UN disagrees.
Article 12 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights:
"No one shall be subjected to arbitrary interference with his privacy, family, home or correspondence, nor to attacks upon his honour and reputation. Everyone has the right to the protection of the law against such interference or attacks". [0]

You can argue what the right to privacy means and the limitations of that freedom in respect of non-arbitrary interference are acceptable, but to claim privacy is not a human right is simply incorrect.

Do you have a link to back that up, that European stock brokers cannot lend out shares?
That's not how our constitution works. Roe v Wade is binding for any actions a person carries out before it got overturned in Dobbs.

Even if a court ruling or legal interpretation gets overturned later, that doesn't allow you to prosecute people who were relying on that legal interpretation.

Judges aren't mindless machines and they realize the importance of avoiding postfacto prosecutions.
Most importantly, anything that increases the minimum power production from a wind farm (on “bad days”) reduces the need for base load power.

I found this article gives some context:

"The authors used a cancerous liver cell line. This is important for two reasons; both of which were acknowledged by the authors. First, cancerous cell lines replicate, whereas our liver cells typically are not replicating. As such, even if DNA representing the viral RNA was integrated into the cell, no other cells with the altered DNA would be produced."

> A bounty of over $3 million has also been offered for anyone who kills Rushdie.

> might not be aware of

Maybe they are aware of it but they prioritize things differently and are unwilling to occasionally indulge themselves in a luxury expense. I know people who literally sent their parents on vacation as a gift because they would never do it themselves. Not that they weren't aware they needed/wanted a vacation but that given the choice it is not something they would rather spend their money on.

I think there's a triple point of quality-time-cost for products like that. Coffee, wine, and chocolate especially are subject to diminishing returns. Price is ~usually~ an indicator of quality, but there's an element of your time (research) in finding the best for the price stuff.
I know what short-selling is, and I understand the stock-lend business, but what the poster is describing doesn't have any resemblance to it; particularly this part:

>So now both, you and the other shareholder think they own the same share in Tesla.

If I have an account with a stock-loan feature, and my broker lends a short-seller my share then I no longer own the share. We can tell that because, for example, I no longer have the voting rights associated to the share, and, if a dividend were declared (forget we're talking about TSLA obviously) then I wouldn't receive it from the issuer; but from my broker (who gets it from the short-seller).

The short-seller then sells the share to someone else. They own that share then as the holder of record.
Ask HN: Should Vice Presidents still be coding/in the weeds?
I work for a company that has an Engineering department with about 100 folks total. I am a team lead and am 3 levels below the CTO (CTO -> VP -> me -> my reports). My team is starting a new project next week and my boss (the VP) just announced he will be a developer on the project. He has been involved in the project since the beginning approving all the stories, architectural diagrams, designs, etc (he expects everything to be ran through him first). I haven't work for many other companies so I don't know if this is normal VP function to be this into the weeds. He is like this in other teams at the company, inserting himself into their projects. Is this normal at other companies?

I think they hired people from TSMC and Samsung to copy their processes, and these new plants are the intended results. Can't really keep being ahead against a much richer competitor, and Intel still got tons of money especially since they are backed by the US state. So really there is probably not a lot of risk here, they just bring in enough foreign talent and let them do the same thing there.

You're hiring, you should have a decent idea of how much you're expecting to pay the hire. That's the amount you should expect the interviewee's time to be worth, since if you hire them that's how much you're expecting to pay them.

Well in the case of Rushdie this probably doesn't have anything to do with the trends you are referring to - the Damocles Sword has been hanging over his head for over 30 years now. I'm just surprised attendants of his lectures didn't have to pass through metal detectors before this incident. And I'm glad he seems to be relatively Ok...
Yeah at the start of the pandemic I was itching to get back to these kind of public events... but with the way things have been going since, I don't think I will.

I think the pandemic combined with the current political climate has pushed mental health to a tipping point that I'm not comfortable with. Maybe it's confirmation bias, but I even feel like people are driving more recklessly.

Seems like this specific attack is more likely religiously motivated though. As others pointed out Rushdie has had a bounty on his head for years.

About 100-300 million years, and they only formed sometime in the last 100 million. A blink of an eye from a cosmic standpoint.

It's a question I can't answer. But I guess like most things it's a mix of nature and nurture.

My son's favorite t-shirt right now has a print of Sonic the hedgehog, because that's what he's playing on my Dreamcast.

But other that he prefer's toned down and restricted color combinations. And I often get compliments for well our children are dressed, although it's purely my wife's work.

It's sad that peer pressure starts as early as three years old. My oldest son used to like wearing light pink and dresses at that age, but only at home. Never at kindergarten.

My youngest son, now 2, says he wants to be a girl. Turns out he's envious of his sister wearing dresses. He also paints his nails when my wife forgets to hide her nail color well enough.

We mostly let them decide themselves as long as it's fit for the weather, and they usually do well.

No.

Probably because you disagree with tech/gov right now. It's really a case of "the leopard ate my face." HN has a long history of supporting "Big Tech." The issue is, you don't like how big tech is using it's power now, but were fine with it using that power years ago.

It's always been that way. You just refused to see it because it aligned with your views.

There is nothing wrong with using the STL in a medical device. Its certainly preferable to worrying about malloc and free. If you can get away with it stick with std::array for buffers. If you need resizable buffers you can create std::vectors with reserved capacity.

All the algorithm stuff in the STL is nice to use. You have do thorough testing anyhow, its better to use something that has a lot of eyes on it like the STL vs rolling your own.

Sometimes operators interfere with what you're trying to do, as the article points out the Prometheus operator. Pro tip: Scale down the operator, make your changes, put everything back the way the operator expects it, scale operator back up.
> In the past 100 years it has not happened that a borrower of stock has gone bankrupt?

No. This has happened. What hasn't is the lender of the stock not getting their securities back. Those stacked layers of covenant and collateral absorbed the damage.

> I wouldn't expect that there is no risk that a certain thing will happen just because it has not happened for 100 years

The risk isn't zero. But someone worrying about their lent Tesla stock never coming home is in the same category as a freestyle mountain climber becoming paranoid about meteors hitting them.
I think the point is they're not working for free - they're doing an assessment. If they're asking you to do real production work for free, that's one thing. But giving you an exercise to assess you is something entirely different.

True, but I didn't want to complicate it any further than it already was.

Exactly.

To put it simply, in that old-school thinking, the bare domain should have only SOA and NS (these two being required for the domain to work), MX and SRV (these two being protocol-specific), things like TXT for SPF, and the DNSSEC stuff, but not A or AAAA or CNAME (and AFAIK using CNAME in a bare domain can cause problems, since it's not supposed to be used together with anything else, and a bare domain always has at least SOA and NS).
I work from home, ~20 hours a week on average, though I never tried to contain my work activities to a certain time window, e.g. yesterday I worked 1-4pm with breaks, and then 10pm-midnight. Honestly I can’t even imagine having to haul my ass to a “building” every day and spend all day there, that sounds like a pretty bad life - though I used to do that many years ago.
That's more in line with how I think about it. All systems are distributed (okay not all), even my nice easy to reason about monoliths have to deal with outside events from various webhooks, or sync records with a customer's ERP, etc, etc.

That's the paradox of open societies. Popper wrote a bunch about it.

Generally speaking, you just draw a line somewhere, and the open society ends there. Nazi apologist in Germany? You won't get the same privileges as the rest of the population.

How much of this is actually criticism of actual science vs politics justified as "science?" I have seen very little of the former and a lot of the latter. And the massive jump in 2020 due to covid makes sense. Many decisions made by the government, and publicly justified as "science" were clearly politically motivated, and could not even be said to be scientifically supported. e.g. covid checks crossing borders when covid was rampant on both sides. And political leaders not only justified their decisions as scientific, but also implied that this made them unassailable by the public and even called for censorship of opposing views under the guise of "misinformation." e.g. the whole lab leak controversy. If our leaders continue to act like this, they can expect the "obsessive" criticism to continue.
No, not without changing microprocessors.

Essentially these chips are locked by setting certain flags in memory. Various flags control various peripherals, including a flag to disable read/write access to the firmware. Obviously once you disable access, it’s permanent because you don’t have access to reenable it.

This side channel attack takes advantage of a flaw in the actual silicon, where branches can be skipped if the power is altered momentarily. So if you skip that first check, the attacker has low level firmware control.

(This was also how the firmware was dumped on the Apple AirTags)

The only mitigation is to use a chip that doesn’t suffer from this flaw or change the software to prevent “root” access even if an adversary has access to the entire firmware (ie do things server side)
