is comaps data updated only when the app updates? - Lemmy.World

I added some data on local shops in OrganicMaps and StreetComplete. My changes are visible in OSM online but my (just downloaded) maps in CoMaps don’t show them. I found this issue [https://github.com/organicmaps/organicmaps/issues/10374] for OrganicMaps that says maps data is updated only when the whole app is updated and I assume CoMaps works the same. Are there any structural reasons why this is the case? Or is there a possibility/plans to have maps data refresh more frequently?

AI is your money becoming sentient - Lemmy.World

Most of our financial decisions are already algorithmically driven. Now with this vision of the near future where e-commerce uses only AI-generated content on apps built by AI developers and AI-agents (soon?) buying it independently, money does not need a human in the middle any longer.

why are companies trying so hard to have employees back in the office?

why are companies trying so hard to have employees back in the office? - Lemmy.world

I have posted this on Reddit (askeconomics) a while back but got no good replies. Copying it here because I don’t want to send traffic to Reddit. What do you think? > > I see a big push to take employees back to the office. I personally don’t mind either working remote or in the office, but I think big companies tend to think rationally in terms of cost/benefit and I haven’t seen a convincing explanation yet of why they are so keen to have everyone back. > > If remote work was just as productive as in-person, a remote-only company could use it to be more efficient than their work-in-office competitors, so I assume there’s no conclusive evidence that this is the case. But I haven’t seen conclusive evidence of the contrary either, and I think employers would have good reason to trumpet any findings at least internally to their employees (“we’ve seen KPI so-and-so drop with everyone working from home” or “project X was severely delayed by lack of in-person coordination” wouldn’t make everyone happy to return in presence, but at least it would make a good argument for a manager to explain to their team) > > Instead, all I keep hearing is inspirational wish-wash like “we value the power of working together”. Which is fine, but why are we valuing it more than the cost of office space? > > On the side of employees, I often see arguments like “these companies made a big investment in offices and now they don’t want to look stupid by leaving them empty”. But all these large companies have spent billions to acquire smaller companies/products and dropped them without a second thought. I can’t believe the same companies would now be so sentimentally attached to office buildings if it made any economic sense to close them.
