If you don’t trust your OS, how can you trust it to run an app? Apps can’t hide data from the OS that’s running them.
I haven't yet seen an organization that benefited from OKRs. I'm not saying they don't work, I've just never witnessed them working.

My main gripes with them:

- They focus on output, and I believe most organization (especially startups) should focus on input. In that regard, I'd spend more time figuring out your internal playbook rather than measuring the (invariably too many) goals you've set for yourself and your team at the beginning of the quarter.

- The don't reflect reality. As soon as you set measurable outcomes for anything beyond the hard success metrics (e.g. revenue, profit, churn, CAC...), expect people to try and game the system. This leads to either people hitting the numbers but missing the mark, or simply failing to report accurately.

- They're mostly useful for underperformers. I have the same feeling about 1:1s. Your top performers usually don't need OKRs to know what needs to be done or how well they're performing. This ends up being a lot of busywork, especially for those who want to get sh*t done.

I wouldn't "improve" OKRs. I'd drop them:

- Set high level goals for the company (e.g. revenue, customer acquisition and employee retention).

- Have leadership set TODOs for the company and teams, BUT use this mostly as a way to foster debate and alignment on what needs to be done. Expect them to change often.

- Focus on your inputs. And on that topic, I would invest in building a culture of documenting what you do and how you do it (for example through a playbook). You can't build on quicksand.
I’ve read a few takes on this from smart people. This is the first time I’ve seen anything that sounds like a real winnable case. Thanks for the distillation. It’s good to know this isn’t as boneheaded as I’d thought (though they still need to go after the App Store).
Creationism explains everything very simply: "X is the way it is because God ordained it to be". There is no need to experimentally verify, its existence is the proof. In general, the need for experimental evidence is only present when you've accepted the lack of external intervention as axiomatic. When that very axiom is under debate, experimentalism is entirely irrelevant.

Not to mention, anything I present as being evidence of intelligence being more able to produce functional complexity than randomness you would reinterpret as "randomness-that-produced-something-that-look-like-intelligence producing functional complexity better than randomness-that-doesnt-look-like-intelligence".
And have the cost of recycling/disposal baked into the price.

Then the E-waste would likely halve or better, people would use their current technology for longer, and memory-guzzling and cpu-guzzling websites and applications would be streamlined and made more efficient so they work with the average capable device.

A pipe dream, of course.
If a calorie is a calorie, would you agree that I would be just as well of eating 1800 calories of fat rather than a balanced diet? Could I stick to 1800 calories of gasoline?

We can't simply burn food and deem that an accurate analog to how the body processes and utilizes different food. Ask anyone that live(d) primarily on rabbit meat.

And to be clear, the 80:20 rule is am extremely broad and inaccurate rule of thumb that isn't useful when applied to something specific. You can't claim that calories in equals 80% of calories out because Paredo.
Yes, but don't underestimate the power of convenience. That factor seems to inordinately raise the shittiness toleration threshold these days.

I think it's like one of two criteria:
1. Damaging to your body and highly addictive. This is most opioids, arguably tobacco (which is kind of grandfathered into being legal), meth, cocaine etc.
2. Can cause significant, unpredictable shifts in behavior in otherwise stable people, to the point of endangering themselves or others. This is (also) cocaine and meth, arguably alcohol (also grandfathered in), ecstasy, and why LSD is so highly scheduled. There's probably a world in which there're responsible, safe ways to experiment with LSD, but it's not something you necessarily want your given random guy on the street to be taking, lest he walk or drive into traffic or start swinging a 2x4 at people.
I helped out on "The Right Spin" about the astronaut Michael Foale correcting an uncontrolled roll, after a resupply vessel struck Mir 23. He made calculations on his laptop using Mathematica, including an animation. I converted the animation to broadcast video, exporting the frames and processing them using Photoshop. (Animation starts at 29:53.)

Rainbows End was very prophetic and changed how I view technology.
Like I said, it's all tradeoffs. It's worth noting though that software companies definition of "best experience" and the consumer definition of "best experience" aren't always in sync, and plenty of Apple's restrictions align more with the consumers version of things. The most obvious example is mandating apps ask for tracking permissions, or location permission or access to photos and calendars. I'm sure Facebook and Google and plenty of other vendors would argue the "best experience" is a seamless one where the user doesn't need to be bothered with such minutia. And yet, I for one am quite glad they can't deliver their "best experience" to me.

This one is pretty weird. All the docs about everything talk about privacy and security and Ockam Orchestrator. This last part seems to be a completely proprietary and undocumented cloud service. Why would anyone trust this?

You might be interested in reading up on Fortescue Metals | Futures current plans and projects in action.

I linked to a National Press Club lecture by their CEO above.

They're already addressing your points by buying several large cattle stations (ie bigger than Texas ranches) that are mine adjacent to produce in situ - tackling large electricity demands via mega care solar farms and transport by being local). Raw PV materials are coming from mines they own and processing plants they hold shares in.

The amonnia fuel they use in mining can be supplemented by recovered energy from "lowering" half a billion tonnes per annum 600m from mesa to sea level (see: Infinity train).

This has been in the works for some time and they thought to hire a few talented engineers along the way.
That's because askhistorians only let's other historians ask questions. I've tried asking some serious questions there before and I always got immediately deleted. IIRC it was always something about how the quality of my question was beneath them.

You can! I use my garmin a lot to switch songs on my iPhone, change volume, etc.

But like the other commenter said, you can’t reply to notifications or calls when the watch is paired to an iPhone, but you could when paired to an Android, which is a feature I definitely miss from when I had a Pixel.
It’s also absolutely wrong. All communications are discoverable even communications using private devices and services if it’s at all related to what’s being investigated. I know a lot of people use personal devices for corporate work that might involve litigation or investigation thinking it shields them. In fact it implicates them further and taints all their private communications as potentially relevant and discoverable, as well as those they communicate with. It’s a dumb as a stump thing to do.
>Apple itself offers a "super app" of course, which is the Apple ecosystem of apps.

Isn't this .. not "super apps" then? If it's multiple apps? Said 3rd party super apps could instead be multiple apps people install a la carte. But companies want to do uber apps for funnel purposes etc.
I used the GMT extensively in 2002/2003 or so while doing summer research. Not a low barrier to entry but incredibly useful and versatile, and was my first non-amateur introduction to CLI/pipeline style coding. Great to see it's still around and learn some more about its history.
> Apple doesn't control the featureset of SMS.

Interoperability doesn't have to be through SMS. Apple could allow other developers to implement the iMessage protocol.
I fear you are failing to comprehend how fundamental the axiom in question (is the universal state influenced by actors beyond our comprehension?) really is. There is no experiment that can answer it, any and all observations must be looked at under a lens that is fundamentally influenced by your answer to the question.

We can certainly say that the observations look like they may have progressed at the rate we expect for the past 13 billion years, but that does nothing to exclude the possibility that around 6,000 years ago some actor we do not understand took 1 week to craft everything we observe now to be precisely how it is.

Reading your final paragraph, I believe we are more aligned than I previously thought. :)

It’s pretty standard practice as I understood it to not release evidence in an investigation unless there’s a good reason to. The way I read it while the cause of death was declared there was still an investigation ongoing.

Ask HN: Has anyone else lost access to Instagram?
My wife is trying to login, and can't. The iPhone app logged out suddently in the afternoon.

She tried to use the forgot password link and get a login link sent to her email, but she checked Gmail (inbox, spam, et. al.) and there's nothing.

https://metastatus.com/ shows all status are okay so not really sure what's going on.

Any clue?

ps: I can login just fine.
That’s how I fixed my insomnia also, but this doesn’t work for every case. The cause of my insomnia was that I just couldn’t turn off my brain - I’d lay in bed and think about stuff until like 5 am. With an edible, once THC kicks in, I could turn off my thoughts at will and fall asleep nearly instantly. And the best part is, after about a month and a half of daily consumption I just quit the edibles and was able to sleep normally without any withdrawal or other side effects. I do not take THC now.

I’ve read however that for some people THC can have detrimental effect on sleep. But that wasn’t the case for me, and in any event THC is better than either the typical sleeping pills or sleeping like 4 hours per day.
> All communications are discoverable

Face to face, phone call, and video call are all not recorded, and so not discoverable.
Um, no they’re trained to get in as fast as possible. Life >> cost of any door.
Not sure why you’re being downvoted. Open source doesn’t necessarily fix these issues but a less opaque chain of trust would be helpful. It would be trivial to shove a backdoor into some open source riscv core or onto an open core platform. Open source doesn’t automatically mean secure.

This makes no sense. If Dutch people built ASML in the first place, why do they suddenly need foreigners now? Or maybe it is just because they want to drive down the price of labor?
Peridex nukes your mouth biome. That leaves it temporarily vulnerable to pathogenic bacteria. Normally you would prefer to have a biome consisting of benign bacteria which outcompete the pathogenic ones.

Jason Snell on US vs. Apple Anti-Trust
I had a similar reaction seeing Logans Run as a kid on TV (it must have been edited pretty aggressively as the movie is very racy).

I had no idea what I had watched but I remember this show about these people who are stuck inside a mall and can never go outside ever. It really affected me incredibly deeply and filled me with melancholy whenever I thought about it.

Finally in College I was renting old sci-fi and watching it, and as I was watching Logans Run I suddenly realized that it was the show I had seen as a child about the people who couldn't go outside.

A lot of 70s dystopian sci-fi hits pretty hard to be honest. Two more that come off as incredibly prescient are The Network (about a media company that will do anything for viewership) and THX1138 (about people who take drugs to control all their emotions, confess their sins to chatbots, and masturbate to porn every night).
It may be because it's an ongoing investigation. There's a big difference between "not now" and "never". If it's what you say it is, then it might be very definitive and graphic. Out of respect for the family they might choose not to.

I'm admittedly out of touch with current React best practices, but "sprinkling react" isn't a phrase I'd have expected to hear based on my last contact with it. Sprinkling JavaScript or Alpine.js or HTMX, yes. But React seems to come with baggage, no?
I recently tried to migrate my Grandmothers Galaxy S21 phone to an iPhone and we had to return the iPhone because try as I might I could not get get her 30000 text messages (including 1000s of images and messages from people that are now dead) to transfer over intact.

The built in services transfer failed as did third party software.

Honestly I can’t tell you much about transferring the other way, but interoperability is definitely not seamless in this respect.

At many places phone and videos are absolutely recorded, it depends on the industry. But generally when one says “communications” in the context of discoverability the implication is “humanly possibly to discover communications.”

> Both have evolved gradual type systems that might make it easier to hold a large program in an individual’s head productively.

This… is not the primary benefit of type systems. (Not sure I’d agree that this is even an actual benefit - my mental model of a system is unaffected by the presence of types)

In my view, the primary benefit of type systems is that it makes changing code significantly easier, much in the same way that test cases do. They give you confidence that a code change doesn’t cause a regression. Refactoring a code base without types is nightmare fuel. This is not hype.
In some cases there are easily treatable factors. For example the patient may have a vitamin deficiency. In this case they could feasibly halt their progression towards dementia by taking an inexpensive pill today. Human factors are always the most difficult in medicine. We expect old people to be slow, instead of seeing senility as a slow progression in the presence of modifiable risk factors.
These are all similar things that Gallery (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gallery_Project) promised (not the same features because location for example wasn't a thing). And delivered on for a great number of years, really well. It seemed like the future of image hosting. And then it slowly trailed off, v3 of Gallery did get released but to a lukewarm reception (the old plugins/addons didn't work and the cloud was just starting to take over) and then yea, it just died.

I have my gallery still online these days, with a fork so that PHP8 still works with it, but I've had to hide it behind an IP Access list now because I don't trust it being public facing anymore.

I don't mean to shit on this project, I hope it's massively successful. We need more awesome open source apps like this.
But I've been burnt once already pouring my heart and soul into an open source image gallery so I'm not going to do it again.

In hindsight I wish I'd put all my photos in Flickr (I thought I was being so clever using Gallery) because it's stood the test of time that Gallery didn't. These days I use Google Photos, I can't see it going away anytime soon (though of course it's Google so who knows)

Sorry this rant is probably very offtopic. The product itself looks amazing and I DO hope it achieves the success that Gallery couldn't.

> And what's left is mostly a user class that maximizes the monetary value that can be harvested.

Yes, probably, but the user based changed dramatically before this. Since 2019 MAU more than doubled. I deleted my 11y old account after the last debacle. It was in the ~8th percentile of oldest accounts. That’s mind blowing, because I was by no means an early adopter.

The drop in signal-to-noise ratio has been dramatic over the years. The interesting, nerdy and quirky is drowned completely by memes, political rage bait, staged sob stories, etc. Which is fine for short term business, but also makes it replaceable. Attention brokerage is “daily fix” business, loyalty is near zero, and competition is fierce.

So every time someone argues a decision is good for business, it needs to be qualified by time and risk. If you sell your house to buy Nvidia calls, is that good for your personal finance?
My example was to refute the parent poster who implied, in a seemingly general sense, that stock issuance doesn't impact earnings, which is false.

As to the exact timing of the accounting treatment in this case, I'm not privy to that. The statement above was that the CEO was paid ~$193m in stock, which implies it was issued in that fiscal year. Maybe it was in this case, maybe it wasn't, but that doesn't change the underlying point.

Stock grants absolutely do adversely impact GAAP profitability. A company will dilute existing holders to issue RSUs or otherwise.
