There is no "democratic process of adoption", because switching currency without a managed, centralised process is likely to be catastrophic.

Preventing money-laundering is not an authoritarian intervention, it's the application of well established law. If your imagined process of adoption relies on it there's something very wrong.

I mean... clearly not. 'criminal' is not some sort of moral status that can be waved away by saying "but they mean well", or applied to people doing things you can draw vague parallels with.
Correct. In addition to the proposed solution, there should be a global setting on the phone that lets users decide that all web links in apps should open in browser; ask every time; or open in app every time. In addition, a per app setting that overrides the global setting should be available too.

I’m no expert in this area, but my understanding is that weakly-interacting particles aren’t “something we’ve never seen before”, and in fact the neutrino is an excellent example of such a particle. However the neutrino isn’t a candidate for the specific particle causing the observed effect because the distribution of observed effects on normal matter would look different, hence the search for more massive particles: a search that is very much at its early stages.
> We can only ever _know_ when we are wrong about them.

I think this is what the OP is saying though: There are many ideas about what dark matter is or could be, but astrophysicists model the early universe using only baryonic matter, the results _are wrong_.

As a theory, it's quite simple: in its absence, the physics doesn't work. If you add matter that behaves in a particular way, simulations align to observation.

What is dark matter? shrug I don't think we can call any answer to that question a theory yet, we don't have any way to falsify it. We have many hypotheses, but those aren't theories.
Yeah I'm with you .. even with double buffering these numbers don't hold water
The problem with this line of reasoning is you’re assuming everything required to keep a company going can be reduced to a job description, but there’s millions of small, impactful ways employees can contribute that fall through the cracks. Being pleasant to your coworkers is rarely part of the job description, but it can make or break that coworker’s productivity for a whole day.

If you aren’t willing to do these extra tasks, that’s fine, but you’re doing nothing to keep the company surviving and someone else will have to pick up your slack. It’s in everyone’s best interests to keep the company surviving as long as possible so it can keep paying salaries.

Of course the C level has a lot more to gain, but everyone has to work somewhere so why not do your reasonable best to make a positive impact.

This comment isn't adding anything to the discussion. SpaceX has stated they meet a certain standard of service. They have not according to speed test results. They were never going to be able to meet it given the amount of customers they intend to have, but the original rdof was won entirely due to promises and not having data. Now that they have data, it's clear that what everyone already knew happened -- they cannot provide the service they advertise and be profitable.

The theories you mention (other than Dark Matter) actually have experimental evidence to support them. They are in a completely different league.
Disclaimer: I'm not a game dev.

The technical problem is probably the smaller issue. The larger issue is that the publishers of the respective games have to allow this type of cross-usage, and they do not have an incentive to make their games interoperable with other games.

Even in business software, where there are practical incentives to interop, compatibility at the level of asset sharing remains very rare.

Ask HN: Google Maps alternatives that uses OSM and has a review feature
Several months ago, there is a similar question here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29774603. But, what I am looking for is a Google Maps alternative that :

- is based on OSM

- has a review feature like Google Maps

- is not tied to a company

- is open source (optional)
If that's what the manager wanted, they could have clarified as much in response to the author's first answer, or at least recognized there was a disconnect, and worked backwards from that to the point that their expectations were aligned. If they can't do that, then it's not clear their goals are well-defined enough to have a productive conversation on the matter in the first place, or that they are capable of correcting a misconception in the first place. That's a pretty low level of communication skill.

I can definitely imagine a manager who might (unhelpfully) say "Should we rewrite in React?" to mean "I want the team to move to React for reasons I can't [or don't feel I have to] rigorously justify, I expect you to defer to me here, and now is your chance to alert me of big gotchas that we'll have to handle in the process".

Such a manager has failed to communicate what they actually want, and unless they can "correct" the listener to the desired interpretation, they're going to be frustrated when said listener takes their surface level meaning seriously. It sounds like that's what the OP was doing here (as the listener).

Only SFSafariViewController prevents that. Devs still can inject javascript through WKWebView.
but I think the questions you ask may be wrong

Exactly this. You asked one question that you summarized dismissively as "...because they had read a blog post about another company doing it."

You could have stroked their ego a little by saying that you don't have the breadth of perspective that they do, before asking questions about what they perceive as the advantages of switching to React. Would it help get the team more visibility or credibility? Would it help advance their work goals?

What they should have asked you is: How long will it take to switch? What is your technical opinion of making a switch? They are not asking for push back about what concrete problems need to be solved. There are infinite ways to implement a solution, for some reason a manager focused on this way to create a solution, they want to know how long it will take and if you are interested in doing it, or would hate doing it.

All this talk of Taco Bell and you reminding me of the '$5 box' got me to go there today -- there is no more (or wasn't currently) the "$5 cravings box" there used to be (like even a year ago?) that had a truly ridiculous amount of food in it, including fancy items like chalupas or whatever, and more than I actually want to eat in a meal.

There IS a $5 "classic combo" that's large drink, one crispy taco, one beef burrito, chips, and a drink. Which is still way more than you can get anywhere else for $5 these days, if that's what you want to eat. While the rest of the menu is going to result in a more expensive meal than you'd get most other fast food. Although maybe I'm wrong about that, I think maybe my local McDonald's has some "combo meals" at like $13 even?!
That looks like a copy of the list of supported devices of lineage. I highly doubt that the e foundation can test their installer on so many devices. They (or their own developer community) would need to get access to these devices at least. I guess the only way to broaden support for the installer a lot would be to work on upstreaming it to the lineage project so that the broader community does the work for them.
But surely that makes it even more compelling; it's incredibly good and they still got breached. The promise of hardware tokens is that you can survive even that happening, because humans are and always will be the weak link in the chain and this is an actual mitigation against even that.
no, it's not. it's not capable of meeting those speeds with the number of users they need to be profitable. if what you say is true they simply could have grown the network slower and kept the speeds higher. but they can't, because they need the money, and they need it fast. they're ramping as fast as they can and have decided to provide poor service to many users during peak hour (just like other satellite ISPs do that HN seems to think starlink is immune to).

How much actual information needs to go to all employees in a synchronous fashion? If you're broadcasting information, then it doesn't need to happen synchronously.

Yeah, but starlink can just cycle in newer generation satellites with tighter beams as well, could they not? Is there a technical reason I'm not aware of that they can't? Would Dishys even need to be changed?

Kuiper needs Blue Origin to get cost competitive with SpaceX, which doesn't look likely because a) they don't even have commercial operations and b) uhoh, here comes Starship.

Sure SpaceX might launch Kuiper satellites ... at a premium over Starlink.
> ...if all countries decide to degrowth, ...

Countries don't decide to degrowth -- people are certainly not willing, right now, to make such decisions. Other people make those decisions and force them on people.

> but one doesn't play ball.

And why wouldn't some country play ball, if not because it's better for it to keep growing and take advantage of other countries' partial suicides?

All of this is premised on there being a current, extreme urgency for degrowth. The debates on that are hardly settled.
> * The current best theory of the structure formation and galaxy evolution involves dark matter and critically depend on it to reproduce observations.

Dark matter models are fine-tuned to reproduce certain observations. These don't really count as evidence in favour of DM.

> * It is possible there is some theory that somehow explains everything without the need of dark matter, but it doesn't exist (now), and very likely it would work effectively like dark matter. Without such theory, claiming DM doesn't exist is simply stupid IMO.

MOND has more points in favour for it as a preferred theory than DM models. See [1].

> Even Modified Newtonian Dynamics theories require DM, because without it you cannot form enough structure early in the universe (as dark matter start to collapse earlier) and is essential to reproduce the amount of structure we see in the cosmic microwave background.

I'm not sure why I should find your claim that DM is "essential" as persuasive given MOND has received orders of magnitude less attention and less development than DM models. I would certainly not bet any money on MOND being incapable of reproducing these observations.

Dark Matter in totality is hard to disprove (as it's really not one theory, but a rather large set). But large parts of that parameter space is testable, and is tested. See WIMPs for example, where we searched extensively. Have we ruled out everything? No. But we have ruled out many variants, mass and coupling ranges.
That's horrific.

> Does/would `pip audit` also lookup CVE vulns for extension modules written in other programming languages like C, Go, and Rust

For the time being, the plan is to focus `pip-audit` on vulnerabilities in Python packages themselves, not native dependencies of packages that happen to contain binary extensions. The line is, however, blurry: if a Python package is written in C or Rust and has a vulnerability therein, that would be considered a Python ecosystem vulnerability for the purposes of the PYSEC DB. A vulnerability in libssl that happens to be exposed via a Python extension, however, would not be.

As someone who is working in a very large tech company, I see one of the strong reasons as why employees are not motivated is because the returns for working hard and delivering results is not there. Things like promotions, pay rises are always not explained and the expectations for promotion is never clearly communicated, intentionally kept vague and consequently the individual is not clear what more to do and is frustrated. Once these large companies find out you are good in one thing, they really want you to keep doing that one thing day in and day out.

If efficiency was what he was after, he could have just said, "hey you look bored, would you feel more engaged if you were working on a migration to react?" Failing that, he could have clarified what he was going for after noticing the author missed it. Either way, it seems like the communication failures are more on the manager, for not having the awareness to appropriately direct the conversation and understand his needs, rather than the author, for failing to appropriate guess what the manager was obscuring.

This remains true even if allistics are generally better at such guessing.

This isn't an irrational reaction, but it also isn't always as clever as it seems. Working this way can suck the soul out of your life in the same way that failing to exercise yourself mentally or physically will eventually eat away at your fitness. Is it terminal? Of course not. But it does take a toll on you. And it eats away at your sense of fulfillment and happiness.

Could it be something like diabetes, where it won't kill you today but it will kill you tomorrow? Maybe. Only you can figure out the answer for that for yourself. I know the answer for myself by now, which is yes. I'd much rather work for a company that gives me the opportunities to stretch myself, do work in a space I actually find interesting, and mostly get rewarded and advance even if they extract an absolute larger percentage of my surplus labor than other companies, than vice versa. And that is because I am getting a worse deal in today terms, and a better deal in tomorrow terms. I've been burned by this attitude before, but I've also had exceptional outcomes I'd never take back or redo any other way. YMMV.
The Mediatek platforms, at least in their early days, were relatively open. The flash utility, which ran off a ROM in the SoC, meant that you could backup and restore the complete state of the device, effectively making them unbrickable. They didn't even seem to have any form of secure boot. Plenty of documentation (only available as leaked, but they didn't care much about stopping that) available if you knew where to look. Huge numbers of devices made with the same platform/reference design, and a correspondingly large (but unfortunately Chinese only) community around them. They were probably the closest to being a "standard Android device" for a while; of course, in the Western world they were mainly shunned due to their low cost and performance, while the lack of (user-hostile) security features was used as a further means of discouraging others away from them.

I work at one of the two mentioned companies. 20% of the employees do 80% of the work, and another 60% do maybe 50%. the last 20% account for -30%. It's demoralizing how incapable management seems to be at jettisoning the chaf, however it was explained to me once thusly: good engineers are hard to find and also very valuable. An unmotivated/lazy engineer is one step away from being a valuable engineer. It's worthwhile spending a lot of effort trying to find what motivates them.

Also, if you look at revenue and divide by employees, you will see that the strategy of "employee 5 engineers and hope at least one is good" is still profitable.

This is kind of a wild take. Estimates should be reviewed like anything else on a team, and if the estimate doesn’t fit the timeline, the team should try to either split up / parallelize the work, drop scope, or look for a creative solution (usually involving taking on some strategic tech debt).
