> The right focuses on the second trimester issue because Roe mandates the availability of elective second trimester abortions, which people oppose.

Casey tossed out Roe and with it the trimester framework. The right focuses on the 2nd trimester because it polls in their favor.

> "social progressives"

I don't really think this term is super useful (is it pro-reproductive rights, pro-trans rights, what?), but stipulating that it is, I get what you're saying. There's a diversity of political views in the US, practically none are coherent and many are surprising (some Black Americans think things were better under slavery, if you can believe it). I believe they're all valid though, hard as they are to reconcile.

> Warren

My main argument here is that votes for the Warren campaign aren't a good measure of support, for all the reasons the Democratic primary process is a dumpster fire. You can dig into polls and I can throw process at you, but if you want to look at support for progressive issues across demographics, that's what polls are for. Dunno why you have an axe to grind w/ her.

> There’s other data points too, such as Eric Adams winning Blacks and Latinos in the NYC primaries, and Yang winning Asians, while white progressives decried both.

Descriptive representation matters a lot, especially in down ballot races.

---

My point with all the social progressive stuff is that it's poorly defined, and support is hard to poll across demos and issues. Which is why I reached for broad, inarguable measures like people who supported Biden/Harris, and also dug into specific questions in the Gallup poll. But you can be more granular, like how can you look at Sanders' support amongst Latinos and non-college White men and not think support for social progressivism is anything but diverse?

> "ideological rigidity"

This one drives me nuts. When the 40 people in the extremely online wing of the Democratic party display ideological rigidity, someone's Twitter mentions blow up. When the State legislature of Texas displays ideological rigidity, they effectively ban abortion and curb reproductive health access for millions of women. Are there probably weird cases of some super progressive losing it and crossing the line? Sure. None of it measures up to what State legislatures are doing.
He profited from that? That happened in 2018... the share price looks like a kind of flat line compared with the mountain of growth in 2020-2022?

He lost $20 million personally for that. Also isn't he suing the SEC over that, claiming he did have funding secured, and claiming he only settled because he was worried about the court cases given he wanted to raise more money?
Before, they believed it was for the best. Now, after certain events, some of which are spelled out in the tweet, they believe the other.

Both are completely valid and do not contradict one another. And it's quite normal and acceptable to change your mind after you get more information.

You will need to explain the difference.
He did file a 13D as a follow up.
His reason for not joining sounds pretty clear.

"he, like all board members, has to act in the best interests of the company and all our shareholders, was the best path forward."

Obviously Elon Musk continually openly criticizing Twitter, from the perspective of some of the board members, is not in the best interest of Twitter. He would have to join under some obligations that would prevent him from speaking openly about his criticisms, and he'd probably be kicked from the board at some future point. This is why they say it's in the best interest of Twitter that he doesn't join. Musk joining would only result in some kind of scandal months down the line.

For me it's about the moral responsibility. If people are trusting your site with their data, you have an obligation to keep it running, and to keep it secure. This is a big responsibility! Especially since over the long-term the vast majority of projects eventually cease to exist.
It might be a simple as: background check that the potential board member has no current or recent SEC matters. That seems like the kind of thing a company might reasonably not want in a board member.
A friend of mine succeeded just over 6 months ago and I regret not joining her every day. I live in a gun-free country so no easy way out. I’m currently in a rural area and considering bashing a policeman’s head in to get his gun and get it over with. The alternative is synthesizing Nembutal myself. All the other techniques are riddled with risks of failure.

Right, the currencies that are built on "trust-less networks" and are resistant to government interferences. But a single person can manipulate the entire currency with some tweets and a bit of capital. cool cool cool.

Did Elon profit from that? i.e. He bought at the bottom and sold at the top? Or did he lose along with everyone else in the "dump" phase?

Bitcoin: You don't have to trust anyone... except Elon.
To finally solve for this, I installed a set of 2.1 computer speakers under my bed, and I have my phone run a 10 hour recording I found of an air conditioner. The noise this generates sounds just like the real thing, and I keep it juuuust loud enough to drown out the road noise and upstairs neighbor's heavy footsteps. A click or two louder if their dog starts going nuts at 3am. I'd prefer actual quiet, but a low steady rumble is second best. Recommended highly.

So you smoke pot on video and you can't be on Twitter's board? Visible run-ins with the SEC is cause for rejecting a board candidate? For none of these claims you provide references. If there is a company foolish enough to adopt these policies it'd be sued out of existence. Or maybe we're about to witness the first occurrence of it.
Is it safe to assume that you’ve never met him before? I don’t understand why people say stuff like this about people they don’t know.
Yes, it probably would, he did file the correct form as he was joining the board.
He's also been charged with securities fraud by the SEC and has a massive black mark on his record. Specifically related to content that he posted on Twitter. I guess that doesn't disqualify someone from joining the board though.

My bet would be something like:

"haha, yeah it's ridiculous, right?"

IME it's sadly common for an organisation to have a Problem, for everyone to acknowledge there is a Problem, for someone to even come up with a roadmap to solve the Problem...and yet nothing will change because there is some ineffable disconnect between knowing and doing.

Really it seems to come down something like "well, if we're going to go to all the effort to change something, we better do it right. If you can't prove the change you're going to make is going to solve this issue perfectly forever it's better to leave it as it is right now. rather than waste all that effort"

or, "good idea, let's add a weekly meeting to monitor fixing this issue"

None of that matters compared to the fact that he is the largest shareholder.
Same for me. I wanted a simple app like Google notes however a bit more suited for long form texts. Simplenote works brilliantly for me. I gave Evernote a try, however that seems to be more suited towards power users who take a lot of notes and want to capture notes in mixed medium - text, photos etc.

Also, since Simplenote is from Automatic, I am less worried about shown any advertisements or product changing radically.

Elon is a massive troll, to the point that I bet he has accounts on random networks dedicated to trolling people anonymously.
This made me think about what you could potentially do to get a similar sort of thing using the type system instead of the built-in effect of unsafe.

Seems like you could create a sort of userland-unsafe by using a closed trait[1] and requiring its use on a 'dangerous' method or struct or whatever:

mod my_unsafe {
pub trait MyUnsafe {}
}
pub struct MyUnsafe;
impl my_unsafe::MyUnsafe for MyUnsafe;

pub fn dangerous_function<U: my_unsafe::MyUnsafe>() {}

fn main() {
dangerous_function::<MyUnsafe>()
}

Obviously this doesn't let you do a block of unsafe without having to repeat it like `unsafe {}` does, but it doesn't leave you much room to do the dangerous things without the shrinkwrap agreement either (and turbofish are so ugly at least for me they'd be a deterrent).

That said I find the named use-case kind of weird. The whole point of the library is to do these unsafe things, so it's kind of silly to be like "don't forget it's dangerous!"

He also says in the previous paragraph that they [had?] believed that having Musk on the board would "be the best path forward." It's sort of a Rorschach test. You could divine either opinion you wanted from the post.
I hear partner often to describe this sort of relationship. Sure that work?
You don't "fail" a background check at that level. They get whatever info is in it and decide on what to do about it, I guess. But the decision as to whether to put a 9% shareholder on the board or not is clearly not going to be left to random bureaucratic process.

And let's be honest: if the world's richest man had dirt in his past that a mere "background check" would turn up, we'd clearly already know about it.
Perhaps if you and others who feel the same way would form your own communities around these common values, you could experience the lifestyle you prefer without it being forced on others.

(Alternatively, you may enjoy living in Europe, most cities here you don't even need a car. I get along fine with a bicycle!)
In this example maybe, but in practice the for loop looks cleaner (imo obviously.)
To be clear, the French Revolution is exactly in line with the example, and part of the definition of it; bloody revolutions are often how the middle class takes power to enact democracy.

Note, though, that the means by which overthrow occurs is mostly orthogonal to its consequences; the important thing is instead who's doing the overthrowing. Most coups are done by a small group, who become a new aristocracy after the coup succeeds. Democratization occurs when, instead, 1. the overthrow is populist in nature, but 2. no power vacuum is created for new aristocrats to step into, as the populace (esp. the borgeoisie) have managed to install a new governmental structure that doesn't require dynasty-driven statesmanship and foreign diplomacy policy.

Note that assertions or compiler segfaults or other similar issues can be automagically reduced to the critical input using tools like c-reduce/cvise. Sure, they're designed for C and C-like languages, but they're tolerable for rust, assembly languages, etc. Probably anything that has text with line separators would work reasonably well.

Also for LLVM IR, there's llvm-reduce and -opt-bisect-limit.

Not sure if they'd have helped here but they're generally useful tools for tracking down similar issues.

I found his opinion enlightening and pointed, unlike your own, rather barbed, post.

I feel like the proliferation of cheap and loud bluetooth speakers has contributed to the scourge of noise pollution significantly in the last two years. The parks are filled with them. People also seem to walk and bike around cities confident that everyone around them really wants to hear their music above all else. It's a truly bizarre and recent-ish phenomenon, and it's full-grown adults. I'm guessing the prices maybe hit a tipping point or the personal public soundtrack is now a statement? I'm at a loss for how to explain it.

How to Look for Partners
Hey all, I'm looking to partner with someone to help update a revenue making saas website written in php so that we can pull in more subscribers. The revenue is not much, (~$2K/month, 100 paying users, 100k free users), but we think there's potential to grow the revenue quite a bit by updating the site and adding more features/content. What is the best way to find a partner who can work with us and carry this forward? Both of us got very busy with our jobs and couldn't put as much effort into updating the site; but we think we can get more revenue by updating the site. We're very open to letting the partner make the changes as they want to and in-turn share revenue. If this is not the best way to ask this, please pardon me and suggest a more correct way to do this.

I don't see the point in spending any effort helping out people who don't click the main link in an HN post.

You could equally say "It's not hard to click on the link at the top, to get context if there's a comment on HN you don't understand." It's a really low bar. Honestly, making HN a better place for people who aren't willing to click the link is just making HN a worse place for everyone else.

If I'm gonna burn time writing something clearly so anyone can understand it, it's gonna be on my blog, or answering questions on Stack Overflow, where that effort pays off. I know there are people on HN who dive straight into the comments without reading the article---I do that often enough---and it's not usually a big deal. However, if I don't understand a comment and haven't read the article, I'm not gonna blame the comment for that.
> or, "good idea, let's add a weekly meeting to monitor fixing this issue"

At one company, we started having daily "show and tell" meetings at the end of every day in addition to daily morning standups. I said during a retro that these were causing extra stress for the team, and felt unnecessary.

The team lead responded to that by making them 15 minutes longer, because he claimed the stress was just coming from team members not having enough time for their demos.
Nurses will do it, too.

My Mother worked in the palliative unit and shared stories about how the staff regularly collectively decided to inform the patient that the button to administer morphine was in their control, and that they controlled enough dosage to peacefully end a person's life and so to be careful with it. Patients routinely ended their lives. This would have been in the late 80s, in Canada.

Since then Canada has legalized medically assisted dying; and I wonder if the increased regulation has made it _more difficult_ for patients to access it. No longer can a ward of palliative nurses simply opt to inform patients of their ability to die, but now those patients need the approval of doctors to do so.
Enforcement is what discourages manipulation. The SEC could make a case that Elon intentionally manipulated the stock, (particularly with his late and then mis-filing of the 13G and 13D), that he then announced he was going to join the board only to then reverse only a few days later. The final key piece of evidence will be any further trading activity; has he already begun to sell his stake? If so it doesn't look good. They can see his trading activity without any public disclosures. Given his history of manipulating Tesla stock via Twitter, and violation of the settlement, and then the recent shenanigans around his selling stock to pay for taxes, I'm sure they're already taking a close look at him.
I think the same thing has happened to me. I’ve lived in the same apartment for a few years. Pre Covid I did notice noise, but it never rose to the level of a problem. Now, I cannot stand the noise from the refrigerator, the baseboards heaters, or some loud neighbours, and am moving in large part to get a quieter place.

Something about being stuck in a place for however long lockdown lasted has changed what were minor annoyances into major stress inducers.

My pet theory is that we have a certain level of tolerance that is worn down and replenished in normal, free-movement circumstances. Forced subjection to annoyances simply wears down any tolerance that exists, and once that is gone it is hard to get it back.

That, or simply the mental categorization of the noises changed from something we voluntarily endure to a kind of punishment.

I wonder whether he's really thought about the technical ramifications, though. Even an edit button would have pretty major consequences and things could get into the weeds pretty fast if you had to start diffing edits to see who retweeted what at which point. This might be the kind of thing that would be a major distraction for Musk if he started to put his engineering mind to it, rather than just making a few snarky quips and letting people make of them what they will.
