If MOND completely described observable phenomenon it would supplant dark matter, but it doesn't. MOND still requires dark matter, just less of it. Or, to quote Milgrom, "some standard matter in some form that has not been detected"[1]. Which, IMHO, is nearly isomorphic to DM as far as statements go.

So until we figure out what the missing mass is, MOND is widely viewed as an unnecessary complication. There is missing mass, if we figure out the nature of DM or discover this hitherto unknown "standard matter" then we can talk about modifying universal gravitation.

Admin tools, particularly federating admin actions in a distributed team - will never not happen. Their shape may change, but devoting time to building the first version will give you the harness you need.

I have a PhD. In fact it took me close to a decade. I was an immigrant and knew no one in the entire country. In fact my first year I didn’t even know the language! No one in my family was super educated though my father was an incredibly thoughtful smart person. I don’t think he helped me with anything academically since maybe 7th grade though.

Over the journey I made most of my friends so almost all of my friends have a PhD or quit one midway (coincidentally the smart ones quit if you ask me). My experience is that people who complain about quals like this should not be doing a PhD. Failing them at Quals is at least somewhat forgiving compared to wasting half a decade of their life.

> Certainly there are all kinds of complexities about how that energy will be distributed and what the effects will be, but just in terms of a simple energy balance model based on well understood physics, it would be difficult to make the case that warming won't happen.

There are lots more effects. When lots of volcanoes erupt, we also see more CO2, but we see the climate cool down.

That's because the effect of the CO2 is outweighed by other factors. But exactly that there are lots of factors is my point.

Is it only me (I am in MSFT) or does it force some people into board-game resources mindset instead? I have a bunch of accumulated vacation that will now be paid out, cause I would let it accumulate before when I didn't need it - it just sits there after all. I don't really need a little more money, but I do value extra time.

WotC’s next move should be to go the way of TSR and the dodo.

In a way, I always knew this was coming. When lots of the people behind 3e left, I assumed that the OGL wouldn’t last forever, once there was enough money on the table. It took a decade longer than I thought, and I wasn’t expecting them to revoke the previous license, but instead remove the OGL from new versions. Either way, rent seekers gotta rent seek.
It can now, but that's not the default. The defaults for submodule suck, because they match the behavior of old versions of git for backwards compatibility.

> Platform conventions are important, and it's the job of individual programs to adapt to them – not the other way round. Vim fails big time in this regard. Can you make Firefox's form inputs use Vim keybindings? If not, there's your inconsistency already.

I disagree with that. And the world doesn't have to be perfect.

If you use Vim and you like it (it takes LOT of effort), you will adapt the platform to the Vim ways whenever possible. Everytime I encounter something I cannot vim-ize, I'm pissed but I have to put up with it. It's like working with Windows.

For the browser, you can use Vim binding for navigation, and edit with Vim. But again, this is not mandatory per se to benefit from Vim as a developer.
Ask HN: There much less tuna in the samgakgimbap

The problem is that in microservice environments, a lot of complexity and source of bugs are (hidden) in the complex interactions between different components.

I also believe that this mentality of siloing/compartmentalization and habit of throwing things over the fence leads to ineffective organization.

After close to a decade of working in various microservice based organizations, I came to a big-ish monolith project (~100 devs). Analyzing bugs is now fun, being able to just step through the code for the whole business transaction serially in a debugger is an underrated boost. I still need to consult the code owners of a given module sometimes, but the amount of information I'm able to extract on my own is much higher than in microservice deployments. As a result, I'm much more autonomous too.

> Maybe code changed. Maybe someone kubectl edit'ed something manually. Not everything is represented in code.

That's honestly one of the big problems in microservices as well.
How do migrants decimate the workforce? Wouldn't they add to the workforce? (Though I do agree that eg the German policy to ban asylum seekers from working while at the same time enrolling them in welfare is asinine. The devil finds work for bored young man.)

Enrolling migrants in the welfare system is a choice. It's easy to restrict the welfare system to citizens only.

Social order is a bit too nebulous to make a comment.
1. Google strangles Firefox through advertising for Chrome as a better browser on their web properties, breaking Firefox on their web properties (the famous oopsies) and bundling the Chrome installer with installers for other software.

2. Google enjoys a browser monopoly and can dictate features as standards to support their data collection and advertising business.

3. Google thanks Mozilla from the bottom of their heart for developing Rust, so all is forgotten :-)

The part you would like to skip over - the static typing benefits - is exactly where it provides the most value and that makes it worth it for /me./ Warts and all. I'm new to TypeScript so take it with a grain of salt. I agree with some of your thoughts but I see a lot of these same issues in a lot of languages and frameworks. I'm really enjoying typescript. I'll probably be a little more jaded here in a few more thousand hours of working in it.

The article wasn't decrying the existence of excess wind power, it was trying to describe the best solutions for using that power.

Why does the government worry about Apple encryption but not Signal et al.?
Whenever Apple upgrades it's privacy scheme it seems the government becomes quite concerned requesting backdoors and such. However we have had apps like Signal and WhatsApp and a plethora of others with e2e for years.

Is it because our phones are compromised enough that they can access data before any user-space encryption ever takes place?

Am I simply experiencing media bias because Apple is so interesting to write about?

Are the apps themselves compromised somehow rendering the problem moot?

Perhaps some other reason?
It said she was an accountant, so I don't know, but I assumed most people who fill out timesheets are employees of consulting companies. This is not some niche, this is millions or tens of millions of Americans (I know she's Canadian but it's very similar there). We don't make "independent consultant" money, we just make regular employee money, but if I slack off for an hour, who am I going to charge that to? It's fraud to charge that time.
What is the alternative? If it' javascript, then no it is not worth it.

Delaying self driving cars does not come at the cost of human lives, if those cars are not safer then human driver. If they are less safe with current tech, delaying then saves lives.

If they tighten regulation, they are saving lives. Also, mandating companies to put in more testing would force companies to test. Without that, they are economically motivated to make big claims, but to to not invest into reproducible quality.

I disagree, the day he took over twitter people were saying "it wont be up this weekend" "it will be down in a week" "it will be offline in 2 weeks"... yet the reality is, its up and running well.

The system is running as good as before. The only thing I've noticed is theres more ad's than usual.

Edit: Currently there isn't any outage of Twitter as far as anyone knows. It looks like 3rd party apps have been kicked to the curb.

A ~16hr regional outage in AU/NZ is not indicitive of anything. In 2021 Facebook had a global ~7hr outage.

Since Musk took over we haven't had all the downtime and disruption everyone kept claiming we would have. Big companies haven outages too, but so far the death of Twitter isn't in sight.

Also: I hate Musk since his comments on Ukraine and Taiwan. So don't take my comments as trying to stick up with Musk. I'm not, I hope he loses all his money and becomes broke.
I'm still not convinced that the expansion of the universe is accelerating based on current evidence.

That argument largely comes from supernovae appearing dimmer than we think they should, and more distant things appear more red and it looks that way in any direction we look. But the thing is, we sometimes calculate how distant things are based on redness, so it's kind of circular reasoning.

Sure we have other things which help gauge distance, like brightness and periods of Cepheids, but if you look into history on Cepheids, the association that brightness is directly related to periods was built upon an assumption that the Cepheids in a galaxy were roughly all the same distance away. That may seem probable, but it isn't a given, as galaxies can be at various angles to our perspective, as well as being different size in various dimensions. It also assumes that it is impossible for fake Cepheids to exist, which might even confer a reverse association. How could we know if we're looking at false Cepheids vs real Cepheids, and that there's not multiple types of Cepheids with different causes for pulsations at various brightnesses?

Next you have to consider movement is relative. It's entirely possible a brighter galaxy is moving 2x faster away from us, than a dimmer galaxy that is actually closer to us. Yet this is hardly considered from distance calculations.

Lastly, people also say the Big Bang is not an explosion of matter moving outward to fill an empty universe, but rather an expansion of space between things. IMO, this is mostly just a model, a way of viewing things. The thing is, you can still look at things from normal intuition (of say an explosion), and it still conforms that definition (ie it's objects moving in space over time, vs it's space filling in between objects over time). And so, if looking further into the galaxy, means looking further in time, the dynamics of an explosion suggests that those galaxies will be moving faster away from us. As the outmost debris of an explosion, is the fastest moving debris of an explosion, and speed between two pieces of debris, is highly associated to their relative positions and tends to increase as distance between them increases, even regardless of where they are in an explosion. So even if further galaxies are indeed moving faster away from us, and it is faster the further we look, and looks that way every which way, I don't see why this would necessarily mean the expansion of the universe is accelerating. As it appears to me, it can be predicted by conventional (non-accelerating) explosion dynamics.

Figma is banning selling paid resources in its community using 3rd party payment, and charges a 15% tax on all transaction.

1. Do you think it's the right timing now?
I mean, Figma has a decent user community, and building a marketplace upon a community is usually easier than the other way around. However, the timing is everything.

2. What should Figma do to justify the 15% fee?
As long as Figma provides additional service to engage with the community, this is overall a good decision I guess. for example

a. Review all paid resources submission to make sure they're all quality content with no plagiarism and spam

b. Establish a threshold of content, all while giving out clear and useful advice to contributors who want to sell paid resources in the community

c. Engage with the community overall and make everyone earns more.
d. Come up with more curation of resources

In fiat terms, yes. The loss is only realised once you convert the Bitcoin back to fiat.

The reason it is "unrealised" until that point, is that you could instead simply hold until/if the price of Bitcoin (priced in fiat) rises past the level you bought it at, and still sell at a profit (in real terms if you account for inflation, or in nominal terms if you don't).

Then that would be a realised profit.

Hence the distinction between unrealised and realised.
It means that anything labour unions achieved in their capacity as unions they could also have achieved in other means. Eg, in the linked article talks about a tussle between a National Labor Relations Board, struggles to get footholds in warehouses, elections by workers.

None of those activities are particularly useful for achieving the things you listed as wins for unions. In fact, they are all distractions from achieving those outcomes.

Seriously, you've got workers trying to organise against an entity that is more influential than they are, has more resource and controls their life for a fair chunk of their waking hours. And the most willing entity to give them money that the workers can find. The more they struggle against that the more they will lose, it is strategically untenable.

Humans, as an advanced form of monkey, have an instinct when they get stressed that makes them band together and fight stuff. It feels really good. It also usually makes the people fighting worse off - the long term winners are usually the ones that best avoid fighting (particularly fighting more powerful and better organised companies). We've got about a century of experience in this field, the people who spent their time figuring out how to unionise aren't the ones who are seeing their living standards rapidly improve.

Yeah I understand that, I do shop there often. It took me a few re-reads to understand how relatively similar pricing for 15 dozen and 5 dozen eggs in 2019 at the same store helps to compare inflation measurements.
