I don't think that's particularly puzzling. While many of them are likely simple hypocrites, there is the position that the government's job in the market is to enforce the minimum amount of regulation needed to maintain a 'free' (as in competitive) market, in which framework a push for government to step in and regulate social media is understandable due to network effects being particularly relevant for it.

Personally I would agree with the argument that Twitter (and Facebook, Reddit and Youtube) are too big to not be regulated into behaving more responsibly at minimum. They're microcosms compared to the real world, but they're big parts of the internet world and thus influence many people's lives heavily, especially young people and especially over the past 2 years.

Currently it's standard practice for social media platforms to have content policies that intentionally avoid providing specifics on unacceptable content, many of them also avoid telling users exactly what the offending content is and don't offer any way to seriously appeal decisions. I think this is responsible for the vast majority of these free speech complaints, people are effectively left to assume the worst, which is extremely irresponsible for companies so large.

We see these frequently on HN too, where someone had their twitter or youtube account banned, are assuming they've been censored for saying something about the company and can't get in touch with a responsible human to find out. Usually they're just forced to start over with a new account.

Thus, I think the fix would be regulations on content policies of sufficiently large social networks that require the policies to be more well-defined, require the specific offending content to be shown along with the exact policy violated and requiring the availability of an appeals process which at least eventually reaches a human.

It might also be worth requiring some amount of disclosure on the automated moderation system's performance (ie how many automated takedowns happened and how many had to be reinstated upon appeal).

More information. It takes the usually remote possibility of a generous takeover offer off the table. Musk turned down a position on the board, signaling he thinks the company would be better off private. It arguably shows questionable judgement of the board.

Tell HN: Turned 44 today and I'm lost
Been professionally developing since my teens. Was the first person in the history of my university who was both a fulltime student and full time employee. Exceeded in all expectations at every job. Became the founding CTO of a start-up, put my heart and soul into it, and we sold for low 8 figures. Started a second company with some of the same people but directions started to diverge and I left. I moved to a different state for another job. Became a freelancer for a while. One of the guys who was at both start-ups recruited me into his current company with a total comp far exceeding what I asked for. All mortgages, car notes, and credit cards are paid off and our investments are enough for our day-to-day. I’m really only working for the health insurance.

But I've never been more unhappy and lost.

I used to joke that I would be dead by the time I was 40 though stopped because The Wife hated hearing it but I do feel like I have no plan past this point. Being in pandemic lock down during this time hasn't helped. I told my therapist that I feel like I've hit my mid-life crisis, though not your typical one as I'm not going out and buying a muscle car to cruise high schools. I know I'm depressed and have been for the majority of my life. Been in therapy for a while and tried various pills (didn't help), TMS (somewhat helped), and thinking about trying Ketamine.

I feel like I've hit my zenith already and it's just a slow decline from here on out. I’ve been dreading this day because it’s a sad reminder of that.

Oprah is pretty remarkable to me (and Illouz) because she is uplifting and sleazy at the same time. She’s uplifting enough to evade many of the attacks on the talk TV genre she is in.

It is also remarkable that a black woman would become such a heroine as she is to older white women like my mother in law.
but there isn't one retailer or one social media service so why should I imagine fictional scenarios when considering your question?
You may actually be able to get more mcdonald's with the same amount of money now. Their app has all these deals like "free cheeseburger on orders of $1 or more", meaning if you spend $1, you get a free cheeseburger. I guess that requires a smart phone which isn't free, and of course the app will be taking as much data as it can access. But if you enjoy mcdonald's food, it seems to be cheaper than ever.
The saddest thing of all (for me at least) has been the rise of the "tech celebrity" on Twitter and the other social media outlets.

Copper doesn’t extrude well for small parts for reasons note, as well as it’s overall strength is quite high - yield strength of 20k psi, tensile strength of 32k psi. and it has a pretty high melting and annealing point.

Extruding non-trivially sized parts starts to require some rather extreme equipment quickly, but is done for larger bulk electrical components, pipes, and tubes.

Aluminum heat sinks are extruded regularly. Aluminum tends to be used where heat sinking requirements are less severe, as it has less ideal thermal properties. A lot cheaper though.

If someone is paying the premium for copper, they probably want maximum thermal performance - which also means maximum surface area hence more and thinner fins (as long as the material is thermally conductive enough to keep them ‘fed’ with heat anyway).

To me, the main message is that he wasn't really serious about Mars at all, or even about SpaceX, or Tesla -- never mind global climate catastrophe.

It's a hostile take over.
>It's a bit funny that there are already a bunch of comments that are stating "There already is, it's called 'X'", each with a different value for X.

It's because the replies are interpreting the op's question differently from the intent.

When op asks: "why there isn't a standard protocol?" -- he's asking "why isn't there a SingleDominantThatWorksOnOnEveryDevice audio protocol that lets me connect devices seamlessly?"

The op's word of "standard" is just doing a lot of heavy lifting to convey a frustration with stuff not working intuitively.

The analogy is TCP/IP being a standard (SingleDominantThatWorksOnOnEveryDevice) network protocol that won over Apple AppleTalk, Novell SPX/IPX, and Microsoft LANMAN NETBIOS.

But many replies interpreted "standard" as "any available existing specification regardless of marketshare or device availability" -- so that's where you get various examples of audio protocols that are idiosyncratic to particular domains which are not analogous to the ubiquity and reliability of TCP/IP. E.g. the Dante audio protocol which doesn't seem relevant to op's use case.

And what's the scope of an "audio protocol"? Is it a "media query of music files" protocol like DLNA? Or is it a "virtual hardware audio device endpoint" like Bluetooth Audio?

I have a 1Password family account for my immediate family, and I let my mother have the fifth license.

My kids get locked down OS's and games, in addition to communications limits and screen time restrictions. But they're elementary age, so this is okay. The rules relax bit by bit as they get older.

For my extended family? Nothin. They're grown ups. I do host the family e-mail domain but there aren't any rules around that (well, they do have to pay for it...). We've had discussions about best practices, but the non-technical folks don't care ("so what if Google tracks me, I don't care") and the other half are technical and more than capable of managing their own digital lives.
I certainly can't address all your points as we're quickly spiraling into incomprehensibility, but I don't think it's unfair to say that for the majority of those points as "there's at least a small chance they are possible". That doesn't warrant a victory lap as any sort of triumph of the skeptical viewpoint. You've shifted your argument from your doubts have been proven true to your doubts still existing, which is incredibly fitting for the your initial argument and vaccine skepticism in general.
I had a similar reaction. As luxury goods go, their quote of ~$30 per bottle natural wine isn’t all that expensive. But then I read:

It’s not the item, it’s the culture around it. I understand the Australian predilection for shortening words but this makes my skin crawl. But responding to your statement:

> Many people also believe that capitalism inherently leads to wealth inequality unless efforts are taken to stop that.

Because there’s a lot of evidence to support that. I can grab you some references if you like.
China's total deaths from covid are likely in the tens of thousands. These "extremely harsh" zero covid policies have saved countless lives in the most populous country in the world (and lives in other countries). This is a pretty bizarre thing to criticize China about. In terms of the total amount of people they've had to lockdown and for the total length each person had to be locked down for, they've done way less than any other major country including the US

I really think this whole "everything Elon does is for Mars" is yet another story/myth he's perpetuated.

He's a businessman. He wants money; he wants respect; he wants power. Like most businessmen/politicians/people of stature of that caliber, he's just couching it all within a story that's much more palatable to the general public than saying that.

Also, I personally have always found how Tesla fits into this Mars equation laughable: why are we building sprawling infrastructure that needs cars on Mars? Is his imagination limited to Atherton, but on Mars? A much better use of limited resources (and oxygen) to build infrastructure would be to build denser, walkable colonies with major corridors served by public transit. Electric light rail or self-guided people movers are not new or novel, but we all know how Elon feels about public transit.

I think this is a great opportunity - actually being able to show real-world (though small) nets in an educational context is great. This means students can try & tweak the net without requiring access to a big cluster or tons of beefy GPUs.

> The Cold War also messed up things, and caused the reactors that were deployed to be the ones better suited for weapons first, energy second.

Sure, but those were Gen 1 reactors. We're overwhelmingly using (pressurized water) Gen 2 reactors these days, which, while being downstream of the same processing as the one required for nuclear weapons, and also theoretically capable to be used to make nuclear weapons themselves, are definitely NOT better suited for weapons first !

Interesting. My experience with the Sonos app has been a revelation in GOOD audio networking experiences. It just works. I download the app - connect to a play 1/3/5 near me and stream music. All in the space of about 2 minutes. Nothing else I've tried comes close to this experience.
I'm using Amazon Alexa Echo Dots. I really wish they had a line-in connection, as it, too, would make life much easier when I want to play audio from a device.

There is a threat about Elon dumping his shares if he doesn't get his way.[0]

Elon has been known to pump and dump various things. Look at what happened to Bitcoin when Tesla announced they would no longer be accepting it. He is essentially saying take this offer or I am going to tank your share price.

“If the deal doesn’t work, given that I don’t have confidence in management nor do I believe I can drive the necessary change in the public market, I would need to reconsider my position as a shareholder,” said Musk.
Lol well yeah that's the elephant in the room, why you'd pay to have the privilege of figuring this all out.
Quite the opposite - I don't think anyone should get into crypto at this point. I made my riches long before CNBC posted a bitcoin ticker. Now it's all about NFT scams and other get rich quick schemes. Bitcoin may double from here but the risk is far greater than the reward.

I've been drinking Arizona tea since the 90s. Something they aren't saying they do, but I'm certain they are, is watering down the product. It's the beverage equivalent of shrinkflation. Their green tea in particular lacks flavor.

I think you're right, but you almost nailed it. Musk low-balled because he wants the offer to be rejected, so the stock price dips, so he can buy up enough stock at discount for a hostile takeover.

We don’t show you personalized ads based on your content from Drive, Gmail, or Photos.

No, they don't show ads *from Drive, GMail or Photos* --- these services are ad free. They do show ads *from the web* --- based on your personal profile and data collected from multiple sources. Nothing here rules out using data from Drive, Gmail and Photos to profile you.

It's been proven that they scan, collect and save purchase receipts and access/scan web links contained in Gmail documents. Why do you suppose they do this?

> These were instructions aimed at the rich nobility. Among serfs out in the villages, standards were even less refined.

Now that needs a citation, and embeds a whole bundle of assumptions in itself. It's necessarily true, because the rich decided what "refined" meant and defined it as what they did.

But primary record from many times and places show this sort of disgust going both ways. A lot of "uncivilized" behavior has been direct response to material conditions, and "civilized" or "refined" behavior was defined in opposition to those needs. The classic example is bathing: if you spend your time up to your waist in clay forming bricks, you're gonna need to wash it off every day. A clear way to signal that you don't do that is to not bathe.

From the perspective of wealthy city dwellers, I'm sure the habits of rural serfs were disgusting. On some specific habits I'm sure I would agree. But that they were generally, across time and place, more disgusting than the wealthy? mmm idk.
The article meanders, but I think it does land on a point. There are tons of 'self made' people out there that have had unending support from their parents, every step of the way. That support gets you a huge leg-up when you're competing against peers raised without it. Failure is of no consequence when your safety net is a trampoline.

A full-thickness burn is going to cause a lot of problems; an increased risk of cancer down the road is likely to be the least of your problems.

That said, inflammation and tumors are surprisingly tightly linked: many tumors co-opt inflammatory pathways, or use them to establish favorable "micro-environments" that allow the cancer to proliferate.

And governments ( local, state, federal ). Security software ( network, dbs, servers, etc ) along with support can be quite expensive. Niche software to meet regulations ( especially in finance but I'm sure in other industries as well ) can be quite lucrative. Not everything has to be bulk or ads.

I tend to notice when people write 'the only choice' or 'the only real choice' when they probably mean something more like
(1) an option that, when examined, seems best; or (2) an unexamined (sometimes dogmatic) choice.
In some cases, a person may have a third intent: by linguistically limiting a choice set, they can frame or limit a discussion (for good or ill).
Wait, I thought every Tesla employees has to ability to buy the stock at a discount?

https://www.moneycontrol.com/news/automobile/do-tesla-employ...

Also, your solution is now how risk/reward works. The employees starting at Tesla today are not entitled to large amounts of the company because they are coming in on a sure thing. The early employees did get a lot of stock. I personally know someone that worked for tesla in sales in 2008 who walked way from 200K shares because he thought they were worthless.
The article addresses that:

> This problem is far too small to saturate the GPU, even with such a large batch size. Time is dominated by moving batches from the CPU to the GPU. Unfortunately, as the batch sizes get larger, we need more epochs to reach the same accuracy, so we can hit a limit in terms of maximizing accuracy/time.

The batch size in their example is 2048.

Or it may. We have no idea however what we know is that twitter is a valuable business and in the rights hands it will be worth much more.
To preface this comment, I generally really like Evan Miller's writing on statistics, but this statement:

> anyone who lacks a firm understanding of statistical power should not be designing or interpreting A/B tests.

Completely ignores that you can approach A/B testing from an entirely Bayesian perspective (which Miller has written about fairly well in the past).

I might be a bit biased in favor of Bayesian methods, but I'm honestly a bit surprised that many people still run A/B tests using a frequentist frameworks such as this.

The biggest reason I would argue to dismiss the NHST (Null-hypothesis significance test) approaching is because A/B Tests are not really controlled experiments, at least not in the same way clinical trials are. User behavior is always observational even if you have a control group. Whether you go NHST or Bayesian is a coin toss in a controlled environment, but when looking at user behavior on a web site it's much better to think in Bayesian terms.

Other reasons why a Bayesian frame work should be used:

- Marketers care about "Probability A is better than B", not "failure to reject null hypothesis".

- If you've been running A/B tests for years, you most certainly have a very good prior over the distribution of conversion rates. It's literally wasting your time and money not to make use of these.

- If you're measuring human behavior on a website, there are absolutely confounding variables at play and you want to model these explicitly. It's much easier to do this when thinking in a Bayesian framework.

I've been designing and running A/B test of all sorts of complexity at all sorts of companies for a very long time, and my experience has been that approaching the problem from a Bayesian perspective is by far the superior way to run your tests.
Publicizing the movements of people in real time is not a good faith example of free speech. Banning such accounts is reasonable under any framework of ownership, public or private. There is no good faith need for anyone to know private information like this.

Blocking people from interacting with you on twitter is an exercise of free association, also a right embodied in the first amendment of the US constitution.

Freedom of speech is not the right to an audience, nor is it a right to stalk.
