If backend services are written in TS (instead of JS) then you'll need to compile to run it. Be that TSC or webpack with ts-loader, you'll need something to perform that step. I don't think anyone is running ts-node outside of local dev environments.

Doxxing isn't only for pseudonymous accounts. There are people with actual profiles that use their real names on Twitter and with a little bit of research you can publish all kinds of personal information about them like their current address which can be a real safety issue and would definitely violate Twitter's TOS.

> You cannot "doxx" an airplane.
I think it's pretty obvious that Elon Musks plane will most likely have Elon Musk inside of it. So by doxxing the plane you're doxxing the person. Just think about the same example with a car of someone who may be receive a lot of negative attention, you can tweet out the location of their car and that may put them in harms way. The car has no rights either but revealing the information is still a safety issue. It's just that for planes the data is public because the idea of a plane identifying an individual location is not a common one since so few people own private planes. Another analogy is a bus vs a car. I think most people would be fine with a bus having live tracking and in fact many people depend on that, but for an individual car it doesn't make sense.

> Increasing the number of bookings by 2% here, 3% there.

I've always felt that there is a dilemma in this space. Any number of small UI features can claim a small increase that are often just noise and curated data (assuming no malicious baking), the cumulative increase isn't even close what the claims stacks up to.

The only fundamental way for a business to make more money is to invent actual, new feature and business models. Shifting a box here and there, enlarging an icon just creates a generation of glorified engineers and PMs who are placing their attention entirely on the wrong thing. Yet the success reporting often rewards this behavior and eventually drown the business in fruitless 'noise' endeavors that favors short term gains over actual innovation.

generally yeah, the masively imbalanced power structure of what elon himself called a public forum being top down dictated & controlled by a private company with zero responsibility to the world is a shitshow mess.

this is like the national usa budget, where 813 billion is spent on military & defense, 40m is spent countering china, and less than 40m is spent on international assistance, domestic relief concerns, basically general do gooding.

if musk had been willing to spend a couple million to support actual public forums, tried supporting ActivityPub or Mastodon or other efforts, this money could have gone a long long long long way. instead of breaking the problem apart & trying to find creative solutions, musk &al are putting all their eggs in owning/controlling/manipulating the one authoritarian semi-public-but-actually-totally-private media system we have. for all Jack's talk about being sorry for leading to centralization, for all everyone's mismay at relying so heavily on a flawed & fickle twitter, there seems to be nearly no one willing to put money to something they cant control & own personally.

>superpower of being resilient against life's wraths.

how?
Exactly. I prefer Emacs–style programs where the number of features grows without end, and everyone customizes the UI and keybindings to make the features they like best easiest to use. Every time someone thinks of a new way that Emacs can make their life easier they can add it to Emacs immediately, without asking for permission or even sending in a pull request. Later, if they think the feature is polished enough and others might find it useful, they can send a pull request either to Emacs or to the Emacs Lisp Package Archive (ELPA), or to MELPA (should they not like the minor licensing restrictions on ELPA), or just post it on EmacsWiki or their blog or Facebook page or whatever for others to copy from.

But for that to work you have to start with something that is both very extensible, and yet is also coherently designed. The extensibility has to be a strong part of that initial design, so that the software is designed to be malleable.

I know other people like you: extremely attuned to subtle signals and they turn out to be bang-on correct. It is a real sign of deep subconscious intelligence that your brain integrates the cues and surfaces the answer. Plenty of people think they are “intuitive” and can “read people”, but actually I think there are few people that are really genius at it. A genius will say it is obvious, because it is to them, and they might even latch onto some rationalisation about how they know. The rationalisations are sometimes not correct, but I suspect the extremely talented can even correctly explain the pattern they have identified.

They make me feel like I have an IQ of about 60 . . . although I also believe you need to have some ability to even be aware of the truly skilled, so maybe I have some latent talent!
So I got a second hand CIEM (64Audio A18T) from my friend last year and sent it elsewhere for a remoulding. 64Audio wouldn't do remoulding for second hand buyers.

The audio was much clearer on the high end compared to any IEMs I used before. Maybe it is for the rigid and direct sound canals compared to foam or silicone tips.

The fit was not very good but that is fixable with some modelling putty.

And a few months later I decided to fix the bad fit for once and all. I bought ear impression supplies and took one myself. Tried to go fancy with 3D printing the shell but I never got the 3D scanning part to work out.

End up losing one side of the CIEM to the depths of my workshop, and now I am back to using my old Shure.

How long can you wear them?

My issue with all these new ear buds which have a rubber membrane which prevents sound from escaping is that it feels like there is no fresh air reaching my ear which would be able to carry out built up humidity. Couldn't this cause infections?

I can only wear them for so long, while the older ones, the small ones which have foam ear pads are wearable all day long.
One of the programs they used to have for new employees was a voluntary CX shadowing rotation. I met some great friends doing these! Some grew to be support leaders as these roles were scaled globally through partners. Most did not. Many of them eventually gave up on customer support but were able to navigate to other parts of the business like business travel or experiences or research.

One of my friends was on the food team. She was an amazing musician and won our talent show. She wound up transitioning to work on music partnerships until the pandemic hit.

I've been thinking about this. To be honest, you're not the first person to tell me that my usage of "freedom of speech" is incoherent. I think, when I say "freedom of speech", what I really mean is perhaps more what you'd call "open mindedness". Specifically: I do not shun or disrespect the progressives with whom I work. I don't try to police the language that they use. I feel unwelcome on company chat channels because everybody is expressing progressive viewpoints, so it hardly seems like it's going to go well to say "Hi, nice to meet you. I'm a liberal but I'm, um, not actually on board with all this woke stuff". But I don't even hold that against them most of the time, I just try to forget that the people I'm working with might also be expressing intolerant woke views on the #general chat channel.

So what I'm looking for is for them to extend the same respect that I extend to them, to people like me who don't share their views. And they don't: they are so certain that theirs is the only correct viewpoint.
Funny enough, I'm in a position to be friends with many small business owners (I've done work for them over the years, and it has involved into friendships)

The folks that are successful don't look at pennies. They produce or sell their products for a healthy price and focus on delivering a quality experience. I went to dinner with the owner of a small business last week that just closed on 30mm in revenue across 15 employees. The company has a profit-sharing plan that pays most of the profit into a pension. It has been in business for well over 15 years. They aren't the cheapest, but they have excellent customer service, sell great products, and ship those products to you in the fastest way possible.

If, as a small business owner, and your primary concern is undercutting the other guy, you are going to go out of business. That has been the rule since capitalism was basically invented. Very few businesses can make their money by undercutting the other guy. Notice the most successful companies such as Starbucks and Apple, and even nonprofit companies such as the YMCA (in the US) don't focus on the bottom dollar. Instead, they focus on standing out.

Even if you look at bottom dollar chains like McDonalds, companies have tried to do it cheaper. Shoot, you can STILL do it cheaper. The reason they don't exist anymore is because, at the end of the day, McDonalds did a better job of providing food of consistent (shit, erm, sorry, not a McDonald's fan) quality, quickly, and at an affordable price.

Commercially? Probably never happened. It is just easier to use more reliable formats like Dolby Digital or DTS (which is shipped with the print on CDs and synchronised using a timecode… some DTS units had HDDs in them you could load the soundtracks in to so you didn’t have to swap the discs over when you changed what movie was showing).

Maybe it was different elsewhere, but SDDS was pretty much a non-starter for us for any kind of effort.

Surely this is a problem of source code organisation not multi-platform support? A better model would be having clearly articulated platform/arch specific files doing all the per-platform/arch defines, which then get included for the target specific build. However, reorganising a code-base this way when it wasn't like that at the outset is can be a fraught (and hard to justify) exercise.

A good example of source code organisation that does a decent job of separating per-platform concerns, is the Nethack code base.

It's just a loss leader for getting together a mailing list of extremely gullible suckers willing to relinquish their personal biometric details and have their privacy violated.

Just like those shady companies in the '70s that sold inexpensive mail order nostril hair clippers in the backs of magazines. Selling nostril hair clippers wasn't the point. They actually made their money by selling the mailing list of stupid people vain and gullible enough to buy nostril hair clippers out of the back of a magazine, which was extremely valuable for marketing other useless junk.

Does an investor who declares himself to be passive lose forever the ability to become active?

Suppose he comes in saying "hey, I'm going to be a passive investor" and the subtext is "funny you didn't notice me amassing so much of your stock", meaning "I could yet become an active investor and do a hostile takeover".

It's not farfetched that management might react to that by saying "we'd rather you become an active investor, and here, you can take a seat on the board if you promise you won't mount a takeover".

His intent could have been "passive for now" and mgmt maybe immediately changed his mind. Would that be a crime, or a violation of any kind, or misleading? Would saying "passive" commit him to being passive even if mgmt preferred him to be active? How would other investors get misled by any of this? Couldn't he just as quickly have decided to get out of TWTR and sold his shares, and if so, wouldn't that possibly have done more harm to other investors? What's the law say about this?
Do you know anything about the rumor that an O2 successor was prototyped that used NVIDIA graphics? (I think I read that on Nekochan long ago).

The slow pace and poor execution of CPU and graphics architectures after ~1997 is crazy to think about. The R10000 kept getting warmed over, same for IR, and VPro, and the O2.

The Onyx4 just being an Origin 350 with ATI FireGL graphics (and running XFree86 on IRIX) was the final sign that they were just milking existing customers rather than delivering anything innovative.
To me, it doesn't seem likely (from the evidence I've seen) that Elon has created a culture of racism at Tesla such that it led to some blue-collar auto workers making racist jokes and comments to each other in the factory.

I am sure that happened, and it is awful, and Tesla should answer for it in court and through the proper channels. But to some degree, this seems like the type of thing that (unfortunately) can happen in an environment like that. It doesn't seem like there is much indication that is a part of Tesla at a high level or happening in Elon's other companies.

> However, those walled gardens are decaying such that there might actually be demand for something better if it existed.

Some walled gardens, like facebook, are decaying. Others, like tiktok, are vibrant, still fresh and new.

Walled gardens are a natural result of the pursuit of capital. If you burn VC money, but create no moat (it turns out the walls of a walled garden are also a moat, weird huh), then as soon as you introduce a clever algorithm that introduces 50% more ads to extract profit, your users will all leave.

As such, a business is incentivized to build these walls and moats.

How do we avoid this?

Well, we do have examples. Mastodon and other open source projects eschew walled gardens in favor of free software ideals. Web3 embraces a certain "decentralized" vibe which lends itself in this direction. Universities, and other public-ish institutes like DARPA, created the original internet and many of its technologies.

Unfortunately, open source projects will struggle to advertise or find users. They do not have the initial capital to get as much momentum as the VC-funded alternatives. Web3 seems surely doomed to end up also building walled gardens for the crypto-anarcho-vibe is only skin-deep, and many a regular business is now highly involved.

This leaves government entities. The government is the one group that is both well funded enough, and has motive to create protocols which prioritize the user's freedom over profit (after all, the users will pay taxes regardless of how high the walls are).

It seems to be out of fashion these days for the government to actually do anything though, so perhaps there is no more chance of that than of a free software project managing the same.
