He's point is that they asked for a minimum number of references not references in general


> available globally at the end of this month

So it's not available yet then?


I'm sorry but how is this relevant? Or did you just recently learn this and thought it's "interesting" to share?


They want to have rigorous well-indexed system for the people in a country, when the system of the country isn't rigorous.

When your constitution is ad hoc, it seems only fair that everything else is. Start with the foundation before formalising everything else.


The graph has this group which includes mostly Eastern car manufacturer:

> No demonstration of alignment (0-22 points)

What does "no demonstration of alignment" mean in this context?

Eastern companies often don't proactively demonstrate compliance beyond what's legally required, especially to Western NGOs. Does this lack of demonstration actually prove they're violating human rights?


Do as the priest says not as the priest does.


There is a single objective truth, it's just, not only unfeasible, but also undesired to determine it.


Most things are wrappers around RDBMSs.


Most true and interesting comment I've read on HN in a while!


Then you have to deal with os compatibility. That's the main selling point of the Web, it works everywhere.


And, I don't have to run a binary to try your product. The web has a lot of flaws, but it's a good way to deliver properly sandboxed applications with low hassle on the part of the user. I've built my fair share of native vs web apps, and I vastly prefer working on web apps. As a user, I vastly prefer web apps for most things. Not all things, but most. No, I don't want to install your crappy app on my computer and risk you doing something irresponsible. I'll keep you sandboxed in a browser tab that I can easily "uninstall" by closing.


I can't think of a single thing where I prefer a web app over a native alternative, unless it's for one-off use.


I will pick a web app over a proprietary "native" app every time. That way, it can stay in a sandbox where it belongs. Discord, Zoom, Meet, Trello, YouTube, and various others, all stay in sandboxed browser tabs.


I have several web apps installed over the native alternatives. Discord is the most prominent one; I've found their native app has been getting shittier by the day over recent months, while the web app remains as snappy as any Safari page. Plus I can run an adblocker and other extensions in the web app which improve the experience.


Most of the “apps” are 200 MB native monstrosities that could be served by 20 kb of JS.


Well worth it. Even the very best web apps struggle to be as good as a decent native app, let alone mediocre web apps. The native operating system blows the web out of the water as an app platform.


Except when it doesn't because of browser or platform differences/incompatibilities.


The portability of the Web is imperfect, but it's not even in the same galaxy as the portability of native app platforms; there's just no comparison.


> I can hand my technologically-handicapped 65-year-old mother an iPad and not have to worry

We don't have to lock an entire ecosystem of devices because your mom's technologically-handicapped


As we dive further and further into them being dependent on said devices to be part of modern society... Yes we do.

It's the niche that wants open and flexible devices and the ability to customize everything.

Let's not ruin iOS by trying to make it Android.

I say that both as an iOS developer and Android user.


Find another ecosystem of devices. There are plenty. And it's not just my family, there's at least one person in most families who is like that.


Is this stable on a multi-monitor mixed resolutions & refresh-rates setups?


Yeah haven't had issues with mine (3090)

3840x2160@59.99700

3840x1080@143.99899

...there is a nvidia bug on some cards where they idle high with multi monitors ~50W. Pretty sure that's OS independent though
