it's clearly impossible for trump to shut down twitter. he doesn't know how his own government works and doesn't care to know, because his goal is entirely self-promotion and personal profit. he's not a hard person to figure out.

it's more concerning that people are taking it seriously enough to create so much chatter. it's not even a free speech issue, insofar as twitter is not a government entity. there's literally no 'there' there.
Here in Japan, sales of computers have gone up because a large number of people don’t actually own computers or have home internet.

> Anyway, are people making lucrative careers out of bug bounties?

I'm pretty sure a reasonable number are doing quite well for themselves after currency conversions. It would be quite challenging to replace a typical Bay Area security architecture salary with bug bounties, though. Few people are equipped to find and claim $10k+ bounties twice a month, every month.
There isn't a simple fix, or likely any "fix," for the issues you want to be knowable. Besides the economic impossibility of it, there are too many places to hide behavior that we cannot foresee due to quantum effects, complexity, etc. So reworking the entire stack is not reasonable or likely very beneficial.

It's better to incrementally address issues as they are found and weighted.
I read Susan Casey’s The Wave[0] about 8-9 years ago, it is told from alternative perspectives of sailors and big wave surfers - Laird Hamilton to be specific. A fascinating read, I highly recommend it. More I read about it less likely that I’m ever going to take a cruise :)

Twitter banning Conservatives from the platform for fair talking points is far more concerning than the government threatening to punish companies for silencing their users.

Clearly competition is not solving this problem. So should the federal government do something about it? Maybe.
On the one hand, I recall that fondly. On the other hand, a modern Linux box might have thousands of commands, and I'm not sure that VMS HELP could handle that well.
This gets to the issue of property rights. It's not unlike the tribal debate over mask requirements in private businesses.

If you are a conservative you believe in property rights. Thus, private companies can make whatever rules they want...with their property...and if I don't agree with them, I go elsewhere.

The same is true with Twitter. So it makes this whole fiasco so hypocritical. If you claim to be a conservative but you don't respect a business' right to set its own rules, you're a charlatan.
Yeah it certainly applies to Apple too.
Report from Republican US Senator Burr "The latest installment examines the sources, tradecraft, and analytic work behind the 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) that determined Russia conducted an unprecedented, multi-faceted campaign to interfere with the 2016 U.S. presidential election.

> The biggest problem with CLI is discoverability [...] there are like a bazillion commands and it takes forever to read through the docs...

I think that’s a design issue - what GUI element (menus, buttons, ...) is going to solve this in a way that couldn’t also be applied to the CLI?
If you do that, you're merely trading one grievance for another: "evil company marked my bug as duplicate to avoid paying" for "evil company claimed to have gotten duplicate reports to weasel out of paying the full amount". More people upset, although individually, maybe to a lesser extent.

The core issue is not the reward division algorithm, it's the inherent lack of visibility. One solution here would be to just open all reports after a while, but this creates problems of its own. One is that it gives ammo to people engaging in dishonest or clueless PR. Another is that some researchers don't actually want visibility, because their employers have murky rules around such engagements, or because they have some far-off disclosure timeline in mind (as a part of a presentation at a conference, or whatnot).
I have found taking notes to be very helpful for a sort of spaced repetition. It helps me retain more from the books / articles I read.

When I first started working at my current company, my manager wanted a highly available SFTP solution that would automatically sync with S3. I designed a relatively straightforward solution on paper involving a network load balancer, autoscaling group [1] with two instances and a SMB share (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/storagegateway/latest/userguide/...) and gave him an estimated cost.

He said okay go for it.

But then I said, or we can just throw some money at AWS and use the more expensive (on paper excluding babysitting time), AWS SFTP service. I gave him both solutions as a test to see where his head was at.

He chose AWS SFTP. We are a small high margin B2B company and sign long term contracts that are worth yearly in the six figures. We are very much focused on outsourcing the “undifferentiated heavy lifting” so we can focus on development and sales.

[1] Autoscaling would not have been used to scale on demand. We set a min/max of two so if one server fails a health check, another instance will be brought up.

Belgian here. We are one of the most highly taxed countries, so you really wonder were all that money is going.

Belgium is as divided as the EU itself. We have 6 distict governments: federal, flemish, walloon, french, german and brussels. That doesn't help in any way.

The things that happen here are sometimes too crazy to mention, like the time a serialkiller escaped because the 2 cops guarding him didn't do their job, and also didn't have any bullets in their guns to stop him. Surreal.
There is no longer an 'Hong Kong economy'. That is all.
Not to mention that GUI designers have a penchant for moving things around in the interface on every release. So even if you knew where that thing was, you don't necessary know now. Consider Microsoft Office, for example. Ugh.
You're not being down-voted because people don't believe you. You're being down-voted because you de-railed a discussion to insert a commonly-known fact as if it were some big revelation. We all know the swastika has a history outside Nazism, just like we know that you are unlikely to encounter an out-of-context swastika in the western world.
To visualize one of the constraints (the orbit inclination) -- imagine holding up a hoop around a globe, with the hoop angled at 51.6 degrees. Now start spinning the globe until Florida intersects with the hoop. That is when it has to launch, to be going in the same direction as that hoop.

Spin the globe a bit further, and now you can see that Florida no longer intersects with that hoop. If you were to try to launch at that point, your trajectory would form another ring that intersects with the ISS's orbit, but at a different angle. So it would take quite a bit more propellant to change direction once in space.

Now, you also have to launch so that you intercept the ISS when it is at the proper position on that hoop. If, when you reach the hoop the ISS is half way around the world, you won't get to it. (Technically, you can spend some time at a lower orbit, then raise your orbit at the right time, or adjust the amount of time it takes to get to the right height, but again that messes with the timing of everything and fuel usage).

Haven't really used Gatsby but vercel is magical. Like once you link up your GitHub repo, the fact that everything works so smoothly is delightful. A lot of other platforms try to compete with vercel on ease of use (heroku) but doesn't even come close. Next.js + vercel seems like cheating honestly

Also worth noting that every election cycle there are professionals hired by party officials and ambitious candidates to tell millions of people how to vote.

They’re called “campaigns.”

And they work especially well on the kind of people who think Trump’s posture of outrage is in response to genuinely outrageous behavior.

it's not a waste of the veggie, however it's not like a huge amount of different resources were not spent from the time the plant sprouted to the time it was determined "compost this ugly thing."

as an far down the line example - we hate DRM being misused, and by composting ugly fruit you are supporting DRM. if you have 1000 acres of crops, you'll need to fix your tractor 10 times (number out of my ass). if you sell a higher% of the food you grow, you now need 700 acres. You now need to repair the tractor 7 times. John Deere now gets 30% less money, and that 30% spent on DRM was the waste.

there are other things. like the time of the guy who has to look at the fruit, which there are less of now. he's in the sun, he gets thirsty, drinks water. if he has to be out in the sun 30% more to look through 30% more fruit, he drinks more water. and that's a waste of water.

I don’t expect voicemail from other human beings, but I do expect it from my bank, my doctor, the government, my landlord, my plumber, my child’s school, the repair shop my car is in, etc. For local in-person-visitsble companies, a phone call is still the #1 way they update you on things. And, as they make most of these update calls while everyone is at work, inevitably these calls all become voice messages.

I have had so many bad experiences with instacart:

* shopper buying yams rather than potatoes (note: this was not a replacement, they seemed to genuinely believe they had bought potatoes.)

* shopper going to checkout before I can suggest a better replacement for an item.

* shopper buys obviously moldy fruit.

* shopper buys five roaster chickens as a replacement for five cornish hens.

* shopper gives up really easily on trivial things like a common chip brand.

It’s frustrating because I can both understand the shopper, but I then need to give instacart more money to actually get the food I’ve verified by phone they have in stock. Furthermore, about 80% of these omissions are most easily fixable if I just drive to the store and buy it. So yea, I just do my own shopping again so I don’t spend $30 on delivery fees and tips and end up spending $5 on furry strawberries.

I don’t understand why instacart can’t work with the store to pack the inventory by people who know where shit is, can identify products, and can inquire about inventory. Other delivery services do just fine with a two-legged approach.

The real raison d'etre with these new wave of commercial NoVPN products like this one and Tailscale is to build a high margin SaaS business without really having the infrastructure liabilities of SaaS businesses. The problem with these kinds of products is that they are, from a security perspective, a disaster. Not only your entire network is compromised if they get hacked or if even they want to get into your network whenever they want which is an unlimited power I've never seen in any SaaS product, also your network becomes prisoner to their services, so if their services go down for any reason, you and everyone in your network will be unable to connect to your network even if it's perfectly working.

At least Twingate doesn't try to do sanke oil advertising like Tailscale and sells itself as an "open source" (go have a look at their Github open issues, it's a complete disaster) while it is not. Also the other thing is, if you have a relatively small company of 50 people you will end up actually paying MORE than those seemingly overpriced yet established products like Zscaler ZPA.

For me, the only serious alternative to expensive products like ZPA are Zerotier and Pritunl. They are as transparent as open source yet still viable as businesses without being greedy or captive to VC money to extract every single dollar out of you.
An amazingly uninsightful truism: people have a shallow understanding of topics that they are not intimately familiar with.

Perhaps this is why accountants and MBA types run businesses and software devs continue to just develop software for their bosses. You know, the ones who understand business more deeply. Because that's what they do. To misappropriate Sorkin: if software devs are so fucking smart, how come they lose so goddamn always?
If I understand correctly, it takes more than the President being charged with incompetence. It takes the Vice President and a majority of the Cabinet agreeing. That didn't happen, not by a long shot.

If anyone else used twitter the way Trump does, twitter would have removed them from the platform long ago.

I thin that their transparently profit motivated move in treating him so differently-- by not banning him-- weakens their moral case against regulation.

Twitter's relationship with Trump isn't about anyone's right to free speech, it's about twitter's income stream.

I'd like to see anxiety and depression rates associated with age and social media usage. In my personal experience, social media gave me a lot more negative feeling than positive. I know a lot of people handle it better than I do, but I'd still like to see.

I'm also curious if this is associated with more diagnoses because we've become more aware of these issues as a society, or if this can be associated with the internet and our modern "always on" lives. My guess is that the former is more of a reason, but I'd love to see some studies in this area.

Not if you want your customers to have a not-miserable enough experience that they will actually buy from you, and continue buying from you in the future.
Tab completion and fuzzy finding are at least pointed in the right direction. Subcommand structure is also relatively easier to discover: you can walk the tree and see what the other options are at each node. Much more discoverable than having a lot of top-level flags.

Finally, I think the architecture of man pages is all wrong: examples should always be primary, exhaustive descriptions of every little option are reference material and a last resort.
I use Fastmail for my important email because I want to be paying a company to take me seriously as a customer. They’re not going to just lock me out of my account because of some random abuse trigger elsewhere in their system.

Mask as Symbol
I wonder how this could be connected to some flash card system. I've been using anki for some months now to help me rememer things better (apps on linux, iOS and OSX and syncing via ankiweb). My notes are not linked so far as I have been looking for a solution that allows me keep all my notes in plain markdown files while linking them.

I'm syncing the md files across all my devices via a self-hosted rpi-nextcloud and I want to be able to add new notes through my mobile. So obsidian.md looks like a good fit for me, I will definitely give it a try. Thanks for putting this together, erica & shida!

However, I want to transfer as much of my second brain into my first brain, by actually memorizing linked notes. So the plugin 'open a random note' (https://youtu.be/cFYaWC_86W0?t=547) goes a bit this way, but to optimize memorization it would need some system that makes use of spaced repetition and active recall like anki.

Anyone, ideas? Or do you actually have plans that go that direction, erica?
In general, trimmed hedges don't inherently convey a meaningful message, but if you asked someone to trim the hedges into a message that violated your sincerely-held religious beliefs then I think the same principle would apply.

> we wouldn't be as conflicted it it was an interracial couple that he was denying services to

I don't believe you would be able to make a "sincere religious conviction" argument against it - I'm not aware of any mainstream religions that prohibit interracial marriage as part of their doctrine (as opposed to an epiphenomenon of the cultural practices of the people who make up the group).
There are a tiny number of big companies in each field now. Usually four or less. Four big banks. Four big cable companies. Last week it became clear that only four big meat companies are left. Still five big movie studios, although ViacomCBS is much smaller than the big four.
is there a way to make CLI "more discoverable"

I've thought about this a lot. The answer, I think, is to have a "reverse index" of tasks that you can do with the tool and their corresponding commands or recipes.

For example, man pages are typically organized alphabetically by option or subcommand. I'm envisioning a section of documentation - maybe a separate man page or just something on a website - that looks like this (e.g. for rsync):

I want to ...

Transfer files within the local filesystem
rsync dir1/ dir2
Transfer files within the local filesystem & create a new directory
rsync dir1 dir2 # Note the lack of trailing slash on dir1
Preserve access times
Use -t/--times
Recurse into directories
Use -r/--recursive
< etc >

You can construct a lot of interesting recipes in this format. Rsync, Make, Find, Git, Docker, and many others all could benefit from this kind of treatment.

Such a document would be:

- Browsable and therefore discoverable

- Easy to search with plain text (can be optimized by making sure key words are inserted in the description text)

- A useful reference if you can't remember this or that specific incantation
A great place to see what lies ahead for a divisive society
What convinced me to give Obsidian a twirl is that there's essentially no danger of sunk costs: I already store my notes as markdown files in a local folder synced via cloud service between browsers and mobile, and accessed via IDEs/plaintext editors. Obsidian merely replaces the IDE as an access/manipulation point.

The only 'cost', so to speak, is adding bidirectional link syntax, which I suspect is soon to become a common standard. I am curious to see what happens when they open up their developer API, as the Obsidian PKM community is quite active.
It's not chilling random Internet commentators. It's chilling actions by large platforms to have or keep any principles.
> But who get's to arbiter the content of one's character?

Only you get to make the decisions that define your character. Others observe your choices and choose to associate with you, or not to.

> And by what metrics are so perfect they won't be abused or change in 5 years?

There are no metrics. The free, global, unfiltered publishing platform is free to decide that they just don't like you. Nobody is entitled to free unfiltered publishing of their content.

I should note that if you're willing to pay, there's basically nothing that you can't get published on the internet. For some reason people get the 'free' in free speech confused with zero-cost. You can publish whatever repugnant material you like, you just don't necessarily get the eyeballs that some believe they're entitled to.

It's not a "requirement" but by policing/editing content (other than what is explicitly illegal) you open yourself to a whole new set of obligations/liabilities that no one really wants to deal with.

IANAL but an example could be:
