> worst moment

It was not just a "moment"; he could have said that he misspoke and that he was sorry. But he persisted, and put up a nonsensical defense where he said "pedo" was a kind of nice nickname in his home country in his youth (which nobody corroborated).

He showed that what he wants is eradicate opponents and will stop at nothing. That's probably what has brought him where he is. But we don't have to respect it.
> It's a bit different though

No, it's not. If you want corporations to be beholden to the first amendment then pass laws saying that private companies can no longer moderate their platforms, full stop.
He already has a personal shitpsoting platform.
But wouldn’t a better solution be to get out of the place altogether, if you suspect that a drink might have been spiked?
Same here. Its funny that you get accused of being a paid shill, yet the people who so loudly complain get taken seriously. I dont know anyone who's had an issue and I would say 90% of my friends have monzo.
Multiple books and first-party reports. Hundreds of interviews.
I use nix on my personal machines, and I think I agree, but the nix tooling has a lot to be desired. A well-implemented language server would be enough to drive things forward: I’m constantly unsure as to what types various variables are, or what kind of flags or options I can set in derivations.
Russia already shares multiple borders with NATO and that border is likely going to get much bigger when Finland joins. All due to the war in Ukraine.
I don’t care about speeders. Realistically, they are not making me less safe. What I do care about are these things instead:

1. People on their phones not paying attention while driving.

2. Cops in effectively unmarked cars doing traffic duty and causing ripple effects when they suddenly enter the highway.

3. Slow drivers in the left lane toodling along and impeding traffic, forcing people to make dangerous lane changes

4. People who lift their vehicle to the point it both blinds everyone at night with its light and exceeds bumper height restrictions so would decapitate me in a crash with my normal car.

5. Motorcyclists with no gear whipping between lanes, lane splitting, and on the shoulders doing 20+ over the speed of traffic (although lets be honest, this problem will eventually take care of itself).

Cars speeding (which is mostly a steady rate of 80 on most interstates which inexplicably have a speed limit of 65) is not something I am even remotely concerned with on the road.
> I wonder why advanced militaries don't appear to use them:

Because modern advanced militaries don't usually have the problems that are solved by tunneling, either for pre-modern militaries (static fortifications highly resistant to direct attack by the most powerful weapons available) or modern less-advanced ones fighting asymmetrical warfare (covert movement against an enemy that controls the air.)
They explicitly tell you that Cypto is banned tbf.

> then free speech takes on a the second meaning about corporate or private censorship

Then the government should pass laws stating that these private corporations are no longer able to moderate their own platforms as they see fit. There is no "second meaning" without concrete legal precedent.
Apple Makes It Easy to Work Remotely (Unless You Work for Apple)
I find Elon Musk to be a fascinating person.

I cannot pretend that I understand his motives for any of his actions, be it buying a 9.2% of Twitter, or tweeting something strange. No more than I can understand the motives of my next door neighbor who mows her lawn twice a week in the summer.

I think the premises which many people hold about Musk are based on their own personal experiences, which are undoubtedly far different than those of Musk. Given that, I suspect the conclusion which they draw about him are likely incorrect.

But, I too enjoy the pastime of trying to imagine what Musk is up to. So far I work from these premises:

* He doesn't do anything unintentionally.

* Most of his Twitter behavior is a ruse.

* He likes to skirt the rules.
I am totally with you on this. Catastrophizing when things get difficult makes it so much harder.

I make it a point to count my many blessings (most of which you enumerate there) every day.
Yes - I don’t believe there is a requirement to be born inside US territory (Ted Cruz was born in Canada and clearly desperately wants to be president!) - just to be a US citizen at birth.
I've made use of those even recently. Even if they're not used much now, it's potential future-proofing. And I've written tools that manage content and read these values to organise pages in a series.
Where is that? I don't see it in the Android app.
> They cost money, but there's ways around that

I checked out what one well-known torrent tracker has to say about these extended updates, and sure enough, I found a torrent called "Windows 7 Ult + KB3125574 by killer110289 (х64) (Ru) [10/04/2020] + авторский загрузчик + Office 2019 (2020.03) RePack by KpoJIuK + ESU Update март 2022" and several others which apparently have those updates applied.

I also wonder what would happen if you build a windows image out of 7's shell/explorer but 10's everything else.
To catch you in a bit of pedantry, "Air Force 1" is the designation of any aircraft the president is on, so technically, yes? If the vice-president is flying I think it's called "Air Force 2".

> Assuming you are a US citizen, you likely have no need to worry about FVEY [1] targeting you unless a judge has been convinced you are a very bad person and issues a warrant.

IIRC part of the snowden leaks was that US intelligence agencies used data gathered about US citizens by GCHQ (and the other five eyes members) and occasionally asked for more targeted gathering. I don't think it's as easy or straightforward as you make it out to be.
Given Google’s enthusiasm for getting rid of them that problem may solve itself, no?
FWIW, "feel" and "good" as used in this article is not about emotions; it's more of a shortcut that means "Do I trust that this is doing what I expect it to regarding (safety | stability | understandability)?"

"Feel": "I trust."

"Good": "Does what I expect it to."
But there are plenty of examples of changes, involving both changes in economic incentives and changes in technology, that greatly reduced pollution. To pretend there's some iron law connecting industry and pollution is simply dishonest.
It's interesting that it's easy to spot nonsense by how it's written before you get to something that's wrong.

Rich/knowledgeable people can benefit from fission but poorer people are still dependant on simpler resources such as rain fall and fertile soil. We're he correct, we wouldn't see increased poverty right now. But we do.
Knowledge itself is not equally distributed, just as resources aren't.
Be good if countries relied on their own resources, protected shared resources, and shared knowledge. It's impirically incorrect to presume that some people having knowledge of how to effectively use resources is sufficient to end poverty for others.

People are still looking after themselves at the expense of shared (or imported) resources.

We see basic resources depleted.

We are in a boom of misinformation vs knowledge expansion.

It's odd that people think "we understand/we have the knowledge" when they themselves don't.
That link didn't seem very conclusive. What license is Synology distributed under? Only one I found was the GPL3.
If everyone is driving X, and some jerk who's driving X+20 is weaving around dangerously just to try to get 1 car ahead of the pack, that's the behavior I'd like to be able to report. I don't care what X is.
With Ukraine under the hood, it wouldn't have been that difficult. I know that NATO is a defensive alliance but it can go an offensive if members agree. Not saying that this is a valid argument for Russia invading Ukraine.
Cheering someone’s death is sick, regardless of. You may want to rethink your statement
I would think flying RC devices is the place to start if you want to scale up quickly. Passenger aircraft is going to require years of testing with no guarantee the plane goes into production.
So they turned it into the knapsack problem.
4 bil households (8 bil people) with each household living on a detached 500 sq m lot (20m x 25m or apx 1/8th acre) => 4,000,000,000 hh * 500 sq m => 2mil sq km.

The earth has 149mil sq km of land area so those suburbs would take up about 1.7% of the land. If you subtract out antarctica (14 mil sq km), siberia (13 mil sq km) and 3/4 of canada (7 mil sq km), the sahara desert (9mil sq km)... you're still left with about 106 mil sq km so we're using about 1.8% of the land.

Density isn't evenly distributed you say? Well, let's look at only china then... Some 1.4 bil people in 9.6mil sq km. Everyone living on in 500 sq m lots means 350,000 sq km, or about 5% of the land. Lots of western china is too inhospitable you say? Fine, subtract out Xinjiang, Tibet, Inner Mongolia and Xining (forget the fact that 60mil+ people live there). That's half of china's land area! You're still left with around 4.860 mil sq km. So everyone's suburban lots would fit in about 7% of the land.

My point here is that the earth is not really as crowded as many people seem to believe. It only seems crowded if you spend the majority of your life in or near dense urban areas. Which most people do these days. So most see it that way. There are still vast tracts of nearly uninhabited land and even vaster expanses of sparsely inhabited land. Sure, these are typically not the really nice bits of the earth (from a human perspective), but we do have central heating and A/C now, right? :-)
This was my case as well. Several years ago I was returning to my home country and while looking for a job I applied to Gameloft, IBM , and other companies, including a small startup.

Excepting the one startup, every ody sent me a canned response with a code challenge.

The startup replied to me with a human asking me to talk. That's the place where I ended up going , and was the best decision for my career (gameloft closed doors some years later)
That's very easy for you to say in your current situation. I think you would not find it acceptable if you were one of the sweatshop workers. This is the exact logic that has been used to justify slavery/exploitation throughout history.
If your bank account statement was publicly available would it be though? Because that's where they are getting the flight records they are rebroadcasting.
We shouldn't be transparent because there would be insane SEO if we were. Social media needs to be a black box or the only thing you'd see if propaganda and ads.
Content seems interesting but the generic corporate image at the top, crap font and off-black low contrast text colour is getting on my nerves.
Guess there's lots of Cons and Libertarians reading NH as every time I point out nasty issues with things SV I get an instant downvote that occasionally trickles back up to 0 or 1. Pointing out that the sheer explosion of housing and salary in SV and environs really puts the screws to the normal people/staff that make society work isn't politics - it's the nasty reality of SV. It was that way in 2000, and the trend was going that way beforehand.

You can bemoan the lack of nurses/teachers/..., go a distance for services, truck in services or pony up and pay them. Your call.
You’re not going to get in trouble on Twitter for stating a general fact. However, you will sometimes get in trouble if you’re using thinly veiled talking points that are intended to deny the claimed identity of millions of people. It’s mean spirited and hurts others. Hopefully this helps you understand why it’s a contentious thing to post.
Agreed, I was on anti-depressants for years.

Their most noticeable effect on me was a dramatic decrease in anxiety, and an accompanying increase in comfort in social contexts and far less catastrophizing about challenging life situations.
me: Hi, I know how to fix the problems I see in your software and increase the performance. I have years of experience with this and successful products.

interviewer: um, ok, I'm not interested in that, we will spend the next 20 minutes talking about linked lists and arrays followed by random leet code live coding. Also, be sure to spend a large amount of the limited time talking about various solutions to random questions and come up with the optimal solution. I will make sure there is no time at the end for your questions.

I blame the EU cookie banners for other forms of intrusive pop-ups that have proliferated since then.

There has always been a contingent of people on every project who speak for the end user, who fought every proposal for an intrusive pop-up.

When the cookie pop-ups came it was "the law" and we had no choice. It set a precedent for "it's OK to have a pop-up to ask people if they want notifications" (why not ask them if they want a hole in their head?) and for various forms of ads that cover the content and can be impossible to close on mobile without "accidentally" clicking on the ad.
If anyone has a summary of what was involved in doing this, I'd be very interested. I assume it's very complex both from a technological and regulatory perspective, but have no idea what must actually have had to happen
Yeah there's been a noticeable uptick in Google Drive spam on Android. Sexy lady stuff, junk like work PowerPoint attachment, all kinds of spam.
Third-party cookies, not first party.
In NYC we have the Reported App [1] that lets anyone report driving violations for TLC vehicles (cabs & ubers mostly) which is the first time I've ever seen a public smartphone app actually have an impact.

Reports go to the TLC commission who actually do process an enforcement (it takes a while) and they issue decently steep fines and points. It's basically the only way bike lane violations are ever enforced.

Not sure how I'd feel about something like this rolling out officially where we're making citizens take over the role of enforcement agent in general. I'd much prefer the city implement more aggressive automated enforcement. As it stands we turn the bloody speed cameras OFF at night... as if speeding stops being illegal after 10pm!

It's also military and they don't broadcast ADS-B unless they want to. They have their own encrypted transponder for other stuff.
I put together a markdown outline for new features to implement and new marketing ideas. I also put together an outline for my current project.

Before starting a current project, I spend a couple of weeks really thinking through the value that will be created for humanity if the project is completed. Each time a new idea comes up, I put it in the outlines above, but I make it a point to COMPLETE the current project by telling myself about all of the end value that will be created.
Most careers have career development done outside of the job except certain apprenticeship programs, but if you want to get your master license, you are going to work outside of your job. That said, many licensed professions have Continuous Education requirements that you can incorporate into the job.

From my personal experience, I honestly can't think of any high-paying jobs that have career development built-into the job.
Yes, their "denazification of Ukraine" propaganda, expanding from the presence of some far-right militia activity in some places to justifying the mass murder of civilians.

That and its excessive use on social media renders "Nazi" mostly useless as a descriptor, outside of those groups that explicitly and deliberately reference Nazi symbology and ideology.
Corporations do not have "common sense", they have a budget that they allocate to moderation, and it's as low as they can get away with.

And if stupid decisions get made, welp, more engagement, so more ad revenue.

The entire system that twitter is embedded into is a cancer, and twitter is just one more tumour.
That's because it uses as only input the description of the company, which is 80% non-informative common words, and 20% buzzwords.
It's basically a buzzword detector.

I reckon you could reach the same results with TF-IDF and kmeans.
If I wrote off every genius who is also unstable or acts like an ass I would have to delete a lot of my music collection.

If you are idolizing someone, it's because the veil hasn't fallen off yet. Everyone is crazy. The question for me is: does the good outweigh the bad?

I'd say it does for Elon. Reusable rockets and helping push EVs over the adoption hump are far more important than trolling like a thirteen year old boy on Twitter or playing Dukes of Hazard with the SEC.
I would say in the US, our road design means our speed limits are way too high for safe travel. Speed limits are set high with no attempt at reducing points of conflict.

It's a meme at this point, but Not Just Bikes does a great job covering the terrible "stroad".

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ORzNZUeUHAM

Most places in the US are filled with wide, multi-lane roads posted for speed limits of 35-45 mph. But those roads will be packed with unsignaled driveways, where drivers entering the road needed to make unprotected and right left turns with and against traffic that's likely going 45-55mph, and drivers on the road need to predict the behavior of cars coming from almost any direction.

Meanwhile, a thin stripe of white paint gets added to the gutter and is somehow called a bike lane - like anyone wants to ride their bike at the same grade as 2+ ton trucks flying by within a foot of your handlebars. Those same lanes will frequently disappear or reappear within a shoulder, and at intersections will suddenly cross or dump you out into a right turn lane. Better hope that driver turning right noticed you before you get hooked.

It's even worse for pedestrians, where even in dense cities, a walk signal is by no means a safe time to walk. Unsignaled left and right-on-red means a car will likely fly through their path at any given moment. On your way to this intersection, you'll continuously cross driveways and slip lanes with curve radii to encourage speeding, sidewalks that dump you into parking lots (if they exist at all!).
They can do it now, they just have to harass you first.
In that case, that means they have entirely failed.
The very few people I've met who actually bothered with the books only made fun of how horrible they were to read and understand. I never even did open one myself!
I always admired the principle though, because you can reduce everything to pure logic (and even in some cases you can "brute-force" formalism to obtain new results).
Which makes me think category theory kind of fills this role in a better way?
> I's a bit of a hard question in my opinion, because so much of our economy is interlinked with the world and even with history… Probably, some richness of the west is a legacy of colonial times, during which a transfer of richness occurred, and the west would still be indebted in that sense?

Exactly this. Stealing from someone for generations and then going “okay fine here’s your freedom look how virtuous we are for doing this” conveniently right when the costs of extracting those resources rise to the point unviability isn’t remotely fair. Within the bounds of the systems we’re operating in though, the most realistic and least unethical approach is probably to find ways to work with them to mutual enrichment. The world isn’t fair, and IMO the least harmful long term option probably isn’t to just send resources back to former colonies unless your goal is to enrich and entrench the extant power structures there (which ironically aren’t necessarily more likely to operate more ethically than you). In reflection on this response… damnit, it seems I’m a neoliberal.

Addressing the rest of your message, I really don’t think there is a life austere enough within the bounds of continued participation in society (see the loosely-connected phrase ”there is no ethical consumption under capitalism“). And of course, I also really don’t see an alternative which reduces exploitation to zero given empirical observations of human behavioral dynamics.

The best you can do (for some definitions of the words best and you) is to just take a utilitarian harm-minimization approach: don’t buy things from companies you know are unethical, don’t work for companies that you know are unethical, focus your efforts on balancing your needs (not wants, actual needs) with the actions most likely to lead to your desired outcome for the world.

It won’t make a marginal quantifiable difference, but it does feel better than just accepting the world for what it is.
People should, but making people care without strong familial bonds is impossible, and even then it's not guaranteed. When people's behavior could kill others, stronger guarantees than the emotional or moral state of people are probably needed.

not super big aha, it's a fairly specific niche: people who got dissatisfied with e.g. Max, etc. and needed some form of timeline.
You need a radio that can receive the ACARS frequencies, VHF around 130 MHz in the aviation band. It's a simple FSK over AM, like an old-school modem, so you just pipe your radio's audio into a software decoder. There are direct SDR approaches these days too. e.g. ADSB Exchange has a ready-to-go SD card image for Raspberry Pi if you have an SDR which can receive the relevant frequencies. https://www.adsbexchange.com/how-to-feed/
What part of the tweet is disingenuous?

After buying but before announcing seems like a good time to see what your fans think.

People seem to forget that the absolutist free speech approach is something we tried for about a decade and it hard absolutely terrible results. If Musk comes in and starts throwing around more of that it'll simply be a matter of letting Musk relearn the mistakes that industry already made (which to be fair, is something he's done in plenty of other industries - the failure of the solar roofs, the boring company etc)
Even better, searching works well. I can generally find whatever person, thing or place I’m looking for in my collection.

I did grow up with the original Doom, and to me this mod actually restores some of the sense of overwhelming darkness that came from playing it on old, dying, poorly calibrated low-resolution CRT's from the late 80's. No game has ever had so much of an impact as when I first saw the beginning of E1M1, with fireballs coming out of the darkness filled with the sounds of unseen horrors.

I thought it was interesting that the linked article said it became reminiscent of Doom 3 in terms of the darkness and horror, but I think Doom 3 was chasing that same darkness from the original that somehow became less dark over the years with the emergence of better display technology.
> With Ukraine under the hood, it wouldn't have been that difficult.

Yes, it would have.

Ukraine joining NATO doesn't neutralize Russia’s nuclear arsenal.

> I know that NATO is a defensive alliance but it can go an offensive if members agree.

Sure, and it has, twice; it's also participated in an reactive invasion based on its defensive mission.

NATO’s official defensive purpose isn’t why a NATO design on invading Russia is implausible, but it remains implausible.
