As a shareholder, either you are happy with the price Musk is offering you, or you think the company can do even better long term. Twitter is clearly a very valuable asset, considering this fight is happening in the first place, so it is not inconceivable that >50% of shareholders will want a larger buyout. Heck even if you are completely happy with the terms, pushing back and asking for more is a standard negotiation tactic. They'd be foolish not to try.

> what happens when Elon starts his own platform

He wouldn't bother because it'd be a failure. Twitter's tech stack isn't worth 40 billion, Musk could clone twitter for less than $500m, but just having a platform doesn't accomplish much, the overwhelming majority of twitter users have no reason to leave twitter.
Ah, fair enough. I guess it would come down to the particular circumstance in which you were made aware?, i.e: https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/371

Either way, I wouldn't be comfortable touching either situation with a 20 foot pole.
Yeah I made 10% getting in after the disclosure was made. I’d actually invest in a twitter owned by Elon and likely ditch all my other profiles too.

A platform that makes money and has free speech would be wonderful. Maybe he can steal Rogan from Spotify too.

How is this helpful? You won't know whether someone is "overestimating" their ability until you learn both their estimated and actual performance, at which point you don't need to guess whether they're "likely" to have poor actual performance.

Same here though mine was probably due to an undiagnosed ear infection as an infant.

One weird instance happened about 25 years ago. I suffered a severe blow to the back of my head. My hearing in my bad ear actually came back for a while but it was like listening to a poorly tuned radio. Proper volume but full of static. After a week or so, my hearing returned back to its normal deficient state. No idea what exactly happened or why.

These days I care less about how the language looks and more about the development/deployment experience, and how much memory it’s going to take on a VPS, since that’s the primary thing driving VPS costs.

Ruby (and rails) for web applications is very hard to beat ergonomically.

Go also feels this way to me, the development experience is very simple, deployment is even easier than ruby/rack (assuming no docker), and you get the added bonus of using a lot less memory on the server.
The reason is that defaults are powerful. Languages tend to have an owner in a position to declare a default for a language. No one is in a position to declare a default for polygot environments.

That's the Fake Internet. Information pollution will continue flooding the web, that will cause "islands of trust", with highly curated/moderated content.

Classic search engines like Goggle will become irrelevant. People will be able to "build" their own search engines, not just the queries. Actually they won't need queries, search will be predicted and automated to user actions. Full trust.

I'm developing one of those islands with collective curation.
> Can you give an example of a Rust project where you have had this experience?

Trying to make a better experience I just randomly picked "Weylus" from Github's rust/trending list and wasted more than 1 hour building it on Windows 10 and Debian Bullseye, ultimately quitting both. Yes, it was a lot of C library related issues, but also other executables missing, like tsc, or in case of Windows, make. On both systems, the number of transitive dependencies was about 300, and so I guess it was inevitable that there were going to be some problems.

I've had similar problems before that trying to build other, less ambitious programs than Weylus using cargo.

> it's hard to claim this as a weakness of Rust relative to C when it's no worse than what you'd get in a pure C project.

It seems to me that making it more reliable to depend on other modules (like cargo does) does not lead to easier to use projects, since it doesn't change the amount of bullshit that most developers and users are willing to endure. This is an instance of Parkinson's law and I think it was already a learning from the node.js ecosystem.

As a consequence, with a system like cargo programs end up having far more dependencies (which is empirically true), but the programs aren't easier to build by a random user. For developers, the situation is changed compared to e.g. C, in that it is easier to add more dependencies before the software becomes unmaintainable. This might shift the development situation to a place where the average developer in this ecosystem is more competent in plumbing things than understanding the problems and coming up with reliable solutions that are easy to maintain without a system like cargo.

I'm not sure if this is good or bad - probably it's an evolution that can't be stopped, and which creates new types of developers. What I'm saying is I'm not positive that this attitude is compatible with a central piece of infrastructure, like the Linux kernel is.

> Can you be more specific about which of these crates provides functionality which you do not think qualifies as generally foundational?

I'm not a Rust developer and I don't know any of these, but looking at those names I'm wondering: which is not some arbitrary helper thing, where it would be easy to maintain an alternative in-tree? At least that's better than each developer bringing their own slightly different preference, resulting in more bloat and maintainability problems.
> I think he thought he would actually do it in the time he predicted but he overestimated his own abilities and domain knowledge.

If he truly believed that a Tesla would recuperate its value in one year by the profit it would make as a robotaxi, he wouldn't have sold any Teslas, as they would make MUCH more money by running a robotaxi fleet than by selling cars.

> Tesla is an unusually unsuccessful company when compared to other public companies that have existed for the same amount of time.

I think you're packing a lot into the definition of successful there. Tesla has been an excellent investment. The value of the company as determined by the market is high. Your definition of "success" is not dissuading investors. Investors believe in the future of Tesla.

> Musk is wealthy because of his incessant promises/lies about Tesla, not because the business is making so much money.

Lots of things that people consider unethical still make you money. That doesn't change the objective fact that he's made a ton of money through business ventures.

> But even if we accept the analogy, Musk's "team" has not scored the most points.

But Musk has.

You can attribute all you want to luck if you'd like but I think that makes you look like a fool when you consider that he didn't just do it once, he did it twice and changed both markets he entered drastically.

His businesses are worth a ton of money.

He is personally worth a ton of money.

Your earlier comment

> That track record seems... pretty random.

is absurd. Most people can't start one successful business. You think he got lucky twice? Three times if you count Starlink which likely gets spun out into it's own business eventually.

And those business aren't just successful in that they aren't out of business, they're massive successes and have made him the richest person in the world (minus some saudi's who probably hold more non-public wealth).
A 20% bump with zero risk? Yes please!

Even if you think Twitter stock will go up 20% next year, you'd want to take this offer. If you think it will go up 50% next year, you might still take the offer because of the risk:reward ratio.

Anyone who believes that Rust will quickly replace C in the kernel clearly knows very little about Rust or the kernel, and definitely should not be taken as a spokesperson for either.

Russia is not controlling 40% of the world grain production. Many countries produce most of their grain on their own. I think you mixed your figures up with the share of the export market.
Why not Lisp on the BEAM - https://lfe.io/.
Weird! So many things cost less, if caught early. A lot less.
But the "insignficant" gas usage for electricity is more than total Russian imports. So, ramping up alternative electricity production would avoid the GDP hit and the dependency on Russia.
Somewhere between 50% to 100% is the standard premium in all such acquisitions. As it stands Musk is offering 17% extra. Of course that takes the existing bump that the stock got from his initial purchase into consideration, but investors already have the ability to cash out at the current price so that lessens the attractiveness of the offer.
First off, I should say I think Elon is the man. What he's been doing at "engineering" companies is of course absolutely incredible (go Starship!). But not so sure he should be mucking around with a social-networking/media company, in which messy social and legal rules are even more important than the technologies themselves. Yeah, his idea that free speech should be the overriding principle is at it's heart true, but tell that to Mark Zuckerberg and FB (as many of us here know, he originally was saying something similar years ago, that it wasn't FB responsibility to moderate content, but then it became known that many organizations and states are using bots and companies dedicated to promoting their own agendas. How do you stop something like this??). Free speech is an ideal that must be balanced with other ideals like protecting individual people & groups against defamation and libel amongst other things. Not sure an intense, engineering mind like Elon is the right person to wade into these very murky waters. And, have a feeling Elon wouldn't even enjoy working on a problem like this (as a software engineer myself, don't think I would either!)

For big tasks, I break them down into really small tasks. Crossing things off of a list really motivates me to continue.

I use the Pomodoro technique. I work for 25 minutes and then take a 5 minute break. My 25 minute stretch of work is actual work - no looking at my phone, the NY Times, or Twitter. Then my break is an actual break. I'll leave my office, sit on TikTok or walk around my yard.

I use noise canceling headphones and listen to electronic music or make a nice blend of white noise on Noisli.com

I block off my calendar for 4 hours at a time so I'm not disrupted by meetings. I close my Slack/Teams/Email apps. I put my phone in a different room.

These all work for me, but I found them through trial and error. Keep trying stuff until you find something that works for you. Good luck! And remember to not be so hard on yourself.

Ask HN: Am I being fooled at a Dutch startup?
A couple years ago I started working for a Dutch startup. I was offered an equity package, but didn't think much of it at that time. After going through a couple of funding rounds, well, I started looking into it. The Dutch structure is called STAK and is basically a company-in-a-company without any voting rights. Currently it is about 6% of company stock divided among 10 employees. I'm still very well aware that it could be worth 0 EUR in the end. I also very well aware of tricks being played by investors and engineers being squeezed out of their faire share. Since money came, it all about scaling up and getting a good exit.

A month ago I (and the other engineers) were finally able to sign the original STAK equity contract. It was apparently an additonal contract. This might be negligence on my side, but I simply didn't know. The equity package and vesting scheme is briefly mentioned in my initial contract. In this new contract the vesting scheme changed and included a lot of additional company and personal goals to be achieved. So it is not only time-based now. (it was said this was for tax reasons). Due to this it makes it a lot harder to vest any additional stock (about half would probably impossible to vest).

I'm on good terms with the founders and I think it is possible to renogatiate this. But I don't know where to start. I read a lot about equity packages at American startups, but this probably doesn't apply for my situation. Can anyone offer me advice
- What to do best?
- How do I make sure what I vest, I really do vest and they don't change the rules again?
- Is it worth anything (even after an exit).
- The additional goals were set because of tax authority rules (is this a straight out lie)?

You can't complain about the complexities of the JVM and then propose containers, which are incredibly complex themselves, as a solution.

I mean sure, most modern JVM apps deploy to containers, but developing in container images is quite another thing and requires you to understand and debug a lot of issues (e.g. mounting, caching, networking) that you'd like not to care about (especially if you're not particularly an infrastructure/ops person).

Trying to avoid being overly political, but how about banning a former US president? Trump has not yet (maybe he will one day?) been found guilty of any crime regarding the whole Jan 6 debacle. Yet we saw the accounts of Taliban members (who without a doubt took over a democratically elected government) and other nefarious folks still have their accounts up and active.

Musk's bid was significantly over market value ($54.20) and above Goldman Sach's price target of $30.

From my external viewpoint Twitter has a heavy political bias. As said by the current CEO:

>“Where our role is particularly emphasized is who can be heard,” he went on. “And so increasingly our role is moving towards how we recommend content … how we direct people’s attention.”

Dorsey I felt at times always tried to do the right thing. Not so sure about the current leadership. One has to assume if Musk was able to take over the company Parag Agrawal would be out very quickly.

Twitter is not a neutral platform. It's funny how you never hear a Twitter insider ever defend or explain why the site appears to be so heavily internally manipulated. If the "wrong" thing hits the trending section it quickly drops off.

Was it always just luck that the same 2-3 accounts were always the same top replies to anything Trump posted. Is this organic? Would love to know.

Accounts like "Brooklyn Dad Defiant" was shown to have taken money from one particular political party. I recall seeing that guy almost always as the first reply to Trump's ramblings. How was his account boosted to such an extent? Seems fishy.

Twitter's annoying dark patterns when it comes to viewing the site without logging in is the main reason why I avoid it more so than some political issue.

I use DDG as my default search engine, along with NoScript in the browser. Often when I visit a new website, I peruse the (long) list of domains that the site is trying to pull javascripts from.

I keep most of those source sites in UNTRUSTED status (including some of the big names in search/ads/etc). But I've always had DDG in the TRUSTED category because I had only seen its javascript before on the main DDG website.

(Unfortunately NoScript has a limitation that you can't tell it to "only TRUST javascript from example.com when I'm visiting example.com").

But recently I started noticing some websites pulling javascript from DDG (I don't remember which sites).

So now I was wondering if DDG is getting into the tracking business, since they're now having their javascripts load from third party sites.

Obviously this is anecdotal. But does anyone know if they are indeed beginning to track?
