You see this sort of comment a lot.

It's a non-sequitur that seems the be the answer to any criticism of Musk and his actions.
Well, Twitter is definitely « what's happening and what people are talking about right now. »

The USA sometimes has this on freeways where you’ll see a large 70 and below it TRUCKS 55.

Most other classes aren’t listed.

Likely the German way is better as the real law everywhere is “do not drive faster than is safe for conditions” but that is a number that changes day to day.
How have you experienced bias from the current administration?
In WA, and many other states, and many countries outside of the US, yes it is enforceable.
there's nothing progressive about corporate censorship; twitter is just a tool to manufacture consent for war profiteering

AFAIK the plaintiff didn't get second or third degree burns from sipping the coffee. It spilled on her lap. Might have been a defective cup or maybe her fault, idk I haven't researched it enough to say, but I'm pretty confident it wasn't just from gingerly sipping.
I completely related to most of the points. It was definitely one of the best articles I've ever read on this topic. Thanks, for investing the time in composing this article. https://thestyledare.com/standard-countertop-height/
I wish I could upvote this twice. You’re spot on.
> If they’re going single file, then they have a paved space past the solid lane border.

Incredibly dangerous to drive there with cars zooming past, just inches away.

> What’s happening is weekend cyclists having a conversation. Why is this okay?

Are you jealous, driving alone in a car taking up as much space as multiple cyclists?
Not op, but I want to jump in. I sense that we're building a culture of surveillance and manipulation. Long-term none of us wants to live in such a society or culture, but we're building it anyway, because in the short-term it's incentivized, by economics.

When your long-term goals and short-term actions don't line up, you're in for nasty weather.
Yeah it's truly baffling. I saw a comment the other day (here, on Hacker News) about a hypothetical situation where Musk starts banning accounts that have pronouns (like he/him) in their bio if he gets to run Twitter.

This wouldn't have even crossed my mind, to be honest. In my opinion there's a surprising level of projection and self-awareness here. These thoughts are just that: hypotheticals. We don't know what's going to happen. But it's undeniable Twitter is a bad state right now.

Edit: you're definitely going to get downvoted, but IMO it's the only reasonable take I've seen on here.
My problem is dependencies taking on dependencies taking on hundreds of dependencies, making it more difficult to find a self-contained dependency which solves a problem, compared to C++ (outside of Boost or ffmpeg and such).
A Twitter takeover would be a global headache for Elon Musk
'No-tailgating' is really, really hard to enforce. I work in a shared office building with a keycard door, and people are genuinely surprised and angry if you don't hold the door even ­if you don't personally know them and can't vouch for them (which is most of the time). It is a really strong bit of social conditioning not to shut a door in someone's face!

So during security audits you can now tick the box that access to the premises is secure, while in reality anyone can just follow random people in. Now carry a box that requires two hands, wear a lanyard with a card hinting at being some kind of courier, and not a soul will stop you unless the building has actual security.
> 1. As mentioned in another comment, X and Y can't be independent and correlated at the same time

And as I replied to that comment, "sorry, my bad - Y - X and X will be negatively correlated."

> 2. The point of the article is to show that you can replicate the results of the DK paper starting from purely random data

You (and many others) are using "purely random data" as if it's always the null hypothesis and using it to cast doubt on the results. But assuming as the null model 0 correlation between skill and self-assessment of that skill makes no sense to me, and is in fact more extreme than the claim DK is making. So in other words, sure, if you assume something more extreme than the claim and generate data based on this assumption, you'll get the same effect and more extreme.
As an expat, in modern usage, I have observed this as a US vs. Europe (or maybe vs. ROW) issue. In the US, IT is like networking and helpdesk, and in Europe, it is more the whole hw-sw-networking-development mass.
I’d trade 20% of Elon for 100% of the vast majority of CEOs in an eyeblink.
<15 seconds, yes. Once a day in the morning when my machine boots and I'm brewing my coffee.
Currently an IC at 53. I was same-day terminated at the end of 2020, found a new remote position within a month, left that position for a 25% raise 10 months later. Both were small companies. Haven't seen a job market like this since the dot.com era. Most places I talked to seem more concerned about skills rather than age although I am sure there is a lot of ageism in tech.
Why should anyone call them out for anything? Honking at them is incredibly entitled behavior. Are your use of the road more important than other's?
Twitter is like the 8th largest social network. That's a lot of work to fight over scraps.
You think he didn't build anything? He wrote the code for his first startup and is the Chief designer at SpaceX. Listen to some of his interviews, especially by everyday astronaut. He is indeed the Chief Deigner.

I don't think he is a good marketer - he is more middle of the road. I think people say that to discredit him. Have you watched any of his full length presentations. He is terrible. What he is good at is having a vision he believes in. He sells that well.
And those souls absolutely should congregate at work while they try to plant roots. But don't force the whole company to do it.
Only the most pressing matters...
I’m doing something similar (for sleep apnea originally, but the crossover due to jaw needing to be forward is a thing). Highly recommend.
Someone further down posted a link with more details, but to summarize:

>“They way [the Gravity Diagnostics employees] say it, they believed he was enraged and possibly about to get violent,” [his attorney] Bucher said.

>Berling has never demonstrated any violence, Bucher said, and someone who is suffering a panic attack becomes almost paralyzed with fear; they don’t often lash out.

>“Basically what the argument was is he was fired for having a panic attack,” Bucher said. “They made assumptions that he was dangerous based off of his disability and not off of any evidence that he was violent.”

wouldn't it be dump and dump? surely, this Twitter poison bill going to tank the stock. Twitter stock went up after Elon bought 9%.
The order of events is somewhat hard to follow from the submitted link. The original reporting is much clearer:

HN also has fairly strictly enforced guidelines. Do you think dang et. all 'don't believe in free speech'?
> Why was the McDonald's one not frivolous? Was it just because it was 185 degrees?

The questions read as slanted. This is a warning sign that you're dealing with someone who's already made up their mind and is just looking to argue. That "just" especially is... a red flag.

That on its own might not mean much, but then, there's this entire post:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31042870

Which looks like a continuation of exactly that kind of thing. Asking questions in a one-sided way, demanding others do things for you even when they already pointed you in the right direction, hostile tone, et c. Even if done innocently, this style of posting can't be tolerated because it's a beloved trolling/shitposting tactic.
Twitter adopts 'poison pill' defense in Musk takeover bid
Recently been seeing, uh, changes in some of my relatives. First Covid denial, then antivaccine in general (wtf), now that and war denial (yes, "there's no war").

Otherwise pretty smart people, but somehow they fall for the dumbest shit. Thinking back, I don't think I ever heard them express such views, and especially not be so adamant about it. They get angry when anyone points out why they're wrong. They're always right, everyone else is wrong...

I didn't believe in Fecebook/Twatter making everyone dumber (never used them myself), but maybe there's truth to that. I guess that's one way technology is affecting the masses, and it's scary because you can't stop the masses, the majority will win, as for now they're in a democracy, actively voting to destroy it and probably not even realizing it. All so a few rich assholes can gain more power.

Other than that, the centralization of everything, that just can't be good. Not only software, but hardware, too. I mean, half of the world's chips (and most of the best ones) are made on one tiny island - God forbid something happens to it.

The few big companies making computers will gladly solder everything and break a chip if you try to reuse it elsewhere, just so you throw it away and buy a new computer when the time comes (i.e. it breaks).

Can't even fix your own car anymore because disconnecting the battery means you need your onboard computer reprogrammed - at an authorized price gouge...errr, I mean, service center, of course.

Not to mention surveillance and the ability to charge you with something at any point if they ever so wish (thanks to "social media").

Technology itself is not at fault, but it does give assholes a whole lot of newpower.
We almost had the same in Washington state until the big tech companies lobbied (i.e. bribed) corrupt politicians for the law to only apply to those earning under $100k.

it wen up after the news break about Elon bought 9%.
The most bizarre part of this whole saga has been the legions of online commentators who appear to be persistently outraged, say they will leave Twitter if Elon buys it. It amounts to throwing a childish temper tantrum in my book. Free speech doesn’t mean one side gets to decide what’s speech.

For years liberal billionaires have been buying traditional media (newspapers), but as soon as Elon who slightly offends their political and personality identity attempts to buy what is currently relevant media they lose their minds. Smell that hypocrisy?
No cross traffic is the thinking, so the most dangerous situation - someone blowing through the stop sign at full speed - is less likely to be an issue, because it can only happen in on the road that's the top of the T, and since bottom of the T traffic always needs to stop, they are more likely to notice traffic that may blow through the sign.

If you look at modern American suburban streets, you'll see this idea in action. Most intersections are 3-way vs the grid layout common in older areas.
The fact is, America has way better and stronger democracy then Germany back then. America is not perfect, but Germany back then was way more massively dysfunctional and violent place.

I am not saying America is perfect or can't be destroyed as democracy, but it would be significantly harder.
It just means speed limits are passed by reference rather than by value.
Musk is an engineer. That is just a fact about him. There are repeated comments to this effect from people who have worked with him, including famously well regarded engineers. If you watch his 3-part Starbase tour with Everyday Astronaut it is incredibly obvious. Some quotes to this effect, though certainly not all, have been collated at [1].

There's a difference between what the board believed (we'll probably never know,) and what they communicated. No one would email their workers saying "we're waiting for payday, at the expense of you".

This tactic is called "sealioning", named after this comic.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sealioning

http://wondermark.com/1k62/

HN's rules around faux-politeness make it extremely susceptible to this kind of attack: not everyone is actually acting in good-faith and it makes discussions extremely tedious dealing with sealions who exploit that to drag the discussions of interest to a halt while the bad-faith user demands that we engage in a lengthy discussion of basic underlying points to keep from engaging the actual topic of discussion. Oh, but if you say it then you're the bad guy, because we have this rule!

Again, why are we re-litigating a discussion about mcdonald's coffee on a topic about workplace harassment? Literally the only connection is they're both lawsuits. There's been a ton of words written about something that is entirely off-topic, because of this sealioning from the parent. That is textbook, open-and-shut, exactly what this tactic is designed to do.
I have a remarkable. Know that the device is designed almost exclusively for writing. It is extremely bare bones when it comes to reading. PDF's an eBooks with code can become a formatting nightmare and it lacks many of the tools that most e-readers come with. It is however, fantastic for writing, and decent at reading if you hack in some custom apps like koreader. You have to remove DRM from amazon epubs though, which I haven't yet done. and can't comment on.
> it's very risky to do what everyone else is doing in a winner-take-all market

There's an inflection point before which even the losers will get a decent return and after which the company must utterly dominate for the valuation to make sense. Consolidation doesn't come free for the winner.
We're all watching Severance, right?
I decided not to introduce DuckDB for my org, 6 team members and <10TB of data solely based on lack of full support for Postgres like JSONB. Currently, we are happy using Postgresql JSONB with a small performance penalty . I would be loathe to introduce a tool which requires a new syntax for handling JSONs.

I know this is a big ask, but if DuckDB can be in lock step with Postgres on JSONB handling :french-chef-kiss:

As far as I am aware (haven't researched), the standard way to get logs or metadata out of AWS Cloudwatch is in a JSON lines [1] format. Therefore, even if I were to write a custom JSON output format for my custom service, I would try my best to stick to the JSON lines format since I would have already written parsers and data connectors for AWS Cloudwatch. That's just me though.

This is hard for me to admit, but it's unfortunately true.

in the UK I voted for UKIP to go to the European Parliament in 2008~ and I voted conservative in the general election of that year.

I was completely bought in by the populist talking points that Farage and Cameron were touting, and I was warned not to buy into populism but my mind at the time thought: "Well, if it's popular, what's the problem? They're supposed to work for us right".

The reality is that people will tell you what you want to hear. I started watching a British series called "Hustle" (about a fictitious band of conmen and grifters which we follow as they rip off comically awful people) but I noticed some patterns in the way that the cons were set up and how people like Farage speak. I noticed that it's all deflection, indirection, 10 lies a minute so that when you refute one of the lies (usually the most outrageous) the others kinda fade into the background and are assumed to be true.

I think what made me snap was when I started looking into the things that were claimed much more closely: the EU regulations on "bendy bananas", and I realised it was all fluff. Farage himself being chair on the fisheries committee of the EU but constantly complaining about fishing rights of the UK.

I felt betrayed, like I'd been grifted.

but it's much too late, and the damage is done.

Not at my hand directly perhaps; but by many people being taken in by dangerous confident grifters.

Why is this relevant: because I don't think I stick out particularly, if I can be taken in, anyone can -- we like to think we make our own choices, but usually that is not the case.
This technique requires genetically modifying the neurons to make them sensitive to the beam. Given the way neurons work, it isn't something that would work very well if you tried to apply it as a gene therapy, either.

While I fully expect such a thing would be abused by governments, this is not that thing.

I also suspect in general this would not prove useful even so. In a lab, where the EM environment can be controlled, it may work great. But there's not much utility to a government to a brain switch that is flipped by going outside in strong sunlight.
Yup. THat's what I was going to say. There data suggests that everyone kind of estimates their ability similarly so that more skilled people underestimate there ability (impostor's syndrome) and less skilled people overestimate the their abilities.
Yeah, there's much less burns from hot coffee nowadays, but it's not necessarily from serving coffee colder (as far as I know coffee is usually held at extremely hot temperatures still).

1) The cup design is much, much sturdier. Not just at McDonald's, almost everywhere has sturdier cups.

2) The store usually puts cream and sugar in it rather than handing it to the customer to put it in themselves - that's what Stella was doing at the time she spilled.

3) cup holders are now plentiful and ubiquitous in cars - the car that Stella's grandson was driving didn't have cup holders so she had to grip the cup with her knees to open the cream/sugar.
It's the connect operations I was referring to. For me, depending on the system I'm connecting to, there can be 1s-2s longer connection delay depending on a lot of factors like network latency, bandwidth, and target system computational power
If I read this correctly, basically if someone acquires 15% of the stock, then all of the other shareholders have to option to buy more stock at half-price. Is that correct? Where do these shares come from--are they just considered newly minted shares?

If so, couldn't something like this backfire or otherwise be circumvented? You're Musk and you want Twitter so you've started by buying 10% of the stock. Can't you just setup several shell companies, each of them also buying significant stakes each (say, 10% each). You're still going to eventually get enough to gain control... Heck, you could even then trigger the right outlined here by having Musk go over 15% and exercise your 100% of your rights in shell companies, potentially diluting other shareholder's overall stake in the company since not 100% of them will exercise the right (although I suppose that would be a bad/expensive idea if these share newly-minted shares). (???)
How is that any different from a right turn on green where there may be a walk signal?
Glad to help! :-)
Truth Social appears to be stillborn mostly due to technical incompetence. Otherwise, it might have been at least somewhat successful in crowding out the gabs, gettrs, etc.

I believe Musk would hire the proper talent and wouldn't screw up a launch this badly.

The article itself explicitly mentioning 'cargo vendor' (which, indeed, seems like the only logical choice for the kernel, just like they already do with zstd as also mentioned in the article) leaves me extremely confused as to why people keep jumping to assuming non-vendored crate usage.

i wonder what would happen if you made a site this that looked similar and asked people to upload their private ssh key to "check if it's safe". Sort of like the phishing sites that ask you to type your whole credit card number to "see if it's been compromised".

based on the number of people I've seen that totally don't understand the concept between the public and private portions of their key, I bet you'd collect a lot.
Just look at Russia - a real Nazist regime while most Russians conveniently believe they are fighting world Nazism. The truth is actually available to them, yet it is so scary and inconvenient that they instinctively choose to ignore it.

Their propagandists on state TV even stated recently discussing Ukraine that Nazism = political nationalism + totalitarism. Which obviously doesn't apply to Ukraine, yet absolutely describes Russia.
My favorite variant of this is copyright issuance costs double/multiply by some X>1.0 every year after some N years of a flat rate. If your product is actually amazingly profitable you'll have the money to keep the copyright longer than most people, but eventually the costs will catch up with you. Unless you've invented a product that can double in price every year, guaranteed.

I’ve often thought about this. But, if I would have been raised during the Nazi era, I wouldn’t be me. If you would take back via a time machine now, I definitely wouldn’t become a Nazi. But what if you’d erase my memory and everything I know about history and then transfer me back? I hope that it’s ingrained values and not just knowledge that would let me make the right choices.
Honestly yes that’s the point. The immortal becoming mortal to suffer for the sins of others. Not saying whether that’s all true or not just that … yes that’s the whole point.
This is likely intentional though.

Reddit's engagement model relies on new posts with which to comment on. Being able to easily find previous content means less reposting, and less opportunities to give users a place to engage. A standard, working search function would only hurt reddit's growth metrics.

It's so obvious to the userbase that you have certain users complaining about reposts, or even subreddits that intentionally flag for original content (OC).
> Can you describe what you're worried we are creating?

Not in a casual comment. So I took some time to write a book that
hopefully contains some insights if you're genuinely interested to
know.

So did a bunch of other people;

For a gentle interest to modern tech critique I'd suggest Zuboff,
Rushkoff, Lanier and so on, but to be honest of you want
non-fictional/sci-fi accounts of the "Nineteen Eighty Four" and "Brave
New World" type then I'd recommend starting with Postman, Illich,
Ellul and Mumford as these lay firmer foundations.

IBM and the Holocaust (Edwin Black) is obviously worth a read in this
context.

> Obviously there are unintended negative effects

Those are interesting. But so are the intended ones.

> but I think it's not certain how they'll play out.

I'd put good money it being uncertain too. :)
They’re trying to double dip: they want to be able to use a municipal levy despite Netflix, etc already paying sales tax.

One of the defenses is that if the levy is correct, then they should not owe sales taxes, which they point out with reduce the states income. The goal of the municipality is to circumvent the state government by claiming a municipal tax is owed as well.
