I agree it's bonkers that this is possible. I agree, in an environment where the SEC seems unable to stop him, Elon Musk might well consider 22% return worth doing. None of that is relevant to the point I'm making.

I'm contending the claim that the implicit (and completely pro forma!) threat in his SEC filing places "insane pressure" on the Twitter board. The the possibility of a 20+% stock price change will not play a large part in their calculations. It's just not a big deal in the context of such a volatile stock.
Social networks in essence mirrors the society so its hard to run a company without judging and censoring free speech if comany doesn't want to be something like 4chan. The bigger problem arises when this censoring and controlling starts affecting democratic processes, there are other bad side effects too. Maybe there should not be any Social networks or maybe we should have better democracy which doesn't crumble under these new powers of information age.
Just wait until you see what we've done to awesome.

> I understand GNOME lacks resources, but oh boy, when I see developers’ time and effort spent on endlessly redesigning and rewriting core apps, I wonder: is that really necessary?

Relative to the rest of the desktop development scene? That's bullshit. GNOME has more resources, paid volunteers and users than anyone else in the scene. That's why it's so embarrassing that they can't get extensibility right, and they can't even make defaults that their users will agree on. They're shooting themselves in the foot and complaining when nobody wants to treat their gaping wound.
Maybe you have hit your zenith for that stuff in particular.

Things are exciting while you're getting all the wins of the low-hanging fruit. But then the wins get harder and farther between, and familiarity breeds contempt, and after a while I don't want to put in the effort for the next win. In that field.

So I switched fields. Now I'm an educator. And holy shit, it's something to step out of a decades-long developer career where you have a pretty good handle on it into a field that's radically different and you know nothing.

For me, it was a fresh start. I proudly look back on my time in a megacorp, my time in a dot-com startup, my time working in a AAA game studio, my time as an independent contractor, my time in the business I cofounded... Good times. Worth it. But now, tiresome to think about continuing.

Luckily I've entered the new world of education, with so much to learn, and so much to explore, and so many new ideas that are with pursuing, and so many challenges. I'll probably never write software for hire again, and that's fine with me. I got my own stuff to work on, and it keeps me plenty busy.

Two more things:

For me, 50 was the hard birthday. Can't pretend you're 39 anymore. But on the plus side, some liberation comes with that. You don't need to pretend you're 39 anymore. Let that wisdom show through.

Anecdotally, some people have had success with shrooms for finding their way. Not saying that would be you, and I'm no expert, and everybody's different, but it might be worth some investigation.
I like the part where the camera zooms in but isn't pointed at the spot where things are happening and then slowly pans until it's in frame.

Honestly, looking at the video again, I'm sort of curious as to what exactly is going on with the camera; it seems handheld, but it's also moving in sync with the piece of equipment with the wedge/blade on it. Are they standing on a platform that's fixed to the other equipment?
"Ten years ago you coulda asked about Area 51 conspiracies and gotten the exact same response rates."

And that's a good thing to you? I don't get what you're saying.

Clearly there are people who believe in QAnon. And that's a problem. Not sure what you're trying to argue.
While saying any nationstate might be hyperbole, it's fair to say they surpass all but the richest.

The most recent figures I can find for Amazon's operating budget list it at well over $500B, which puts it within an order of magnitude of the single richest country in the world; it would end up in the top 10 if it were itself a country[1]

Keep in mind also that a large part of the US's wealth is derived from having these nation-state-level corporations within its financial jurisdiction.

I avoid Amazon whenever I can... unless it is the cheapest source (which doesn't happen very often).
It mentions mobile applications. At ~100 Wh/kg, mobile uses are conceivable, but it's still far short of a good battery.
There really isn't.

There is a huge gap between someone who lives frugally and is under employed while the "figure it out" and someone who works two jobs because they must. The former will eventually have the problem solved via inheritance, while the latter must deal with the existential risk that they work two jobs until they die or become homeless.
except that isn't the answer gnome is notorious for being a pain to work with if it doesn't align with their vision.
Yeah, in retrospect, I'm sure what they really wanted was to diagonalize the matrix.
Some of that is just that inflation fundamentally changed when we floated the dollar in 1971. We now purposely try to inflate our currency 2% every year. Before then there was inflation and deflation, but not a single trend. A dollar in 1800 was worth essentially the same as it was in 1933--though there were long periods where it was less and long periods it was more.
The world can't satisfy the human soul. You're having an Ecclesiastes moment. Therapists are secular pseudo-preists and can't solve a problem of meaning when they can only work within an a-teleological paradigm. I'd recommend the book "Nihilism, the Root of the Revolution of the Modern Age" by Fr. Seraphim Rose, an Eastern Orthodox convert who went on to co-found a monastery in California. There are pdfs and epubs available online, as well as an audiobook on YouTube.

If you look for meaning you'll find what you're looking for, and not in an arbitrary intellectually dishonest way either like the evangelicals etc do
React based starter web template for multi-tenant portal
Im looking to create a react based dashboard/portal for a B2B SaaS business.

We're looking for a vendor to supply a full starter project based on React, SQL, TypeScript, Lambda functions etc. This could be in the form of a code generator or a pre-built portal that allows new pages to be added.

We expect to code up all our business specific pages, but don't want to start from zero.

It should
- Generate or provide a basic backend dashboard
- Allow you to add pages using the command-line. Hopefully you could specific a page type.
- Integrated with high-end grid, tree and other UI-components
- Use Auto0, Cognito, etc for user/group management.
- Source code available for a price

I've seen a few similar ideas in the past, but they all have too many limitations.

https://aspnetzero.com/
This is basically what we want but its written in aspnet and is not designed to be modified. and has horrible support

https://retool.com/
Another great tool but its built to replace backend tools. Its too lo-code. We want a source code generator

https://scaffoldhub.io/
This is currently the front runner, but it looks like a lot would need to be added.

Thanks

Re: "Now there is still a lot of golden days, but it will never be like you were 20, for sure.", this is not necessarily a bad thing. 20-somethings move so fast because they don't have the experience to move strategically, to stop, think slowly and methodically, gather perspectives and advice, and make deliberate, powerful moves. Older people don't need to be so hyperactive; we move with more efficiency because we don't need to move as MUCH. Learn to play chess rather than checkers. This worship of youth is disease.
The difference is that harmful actions are harmful, while you engage in imperialistic twitterism without basic understanding of what you insult.
I accidentally discovered how to make pretty great iced tea at home:

1) Boil water. Pour into cup with tea bag.

2) Walk away and totally forget all about the tea for a few hours.

3) Walk back into the kitchen for something else, realize you now have a glass of cold black liquid that is undrinkable.

4) Remove teabag and pour the black ooze into a liter container, fill with cold water and sugar to taste and maybe half a lemon from a nearby tree if you have one.

Made the most smooth, delicious iced tea I've ever had.
Las Vegas hotels are horrible at this. You now have resort fees which sometimes are as much as the stated room rate! Pay attention to those fees when booking resorts!

I’d consider your history to be rather successful, and while I wouldn’t consider myself nearly as successful I do feel like I can relate on many levels.

What got me through the depression that ensues in what I think was also a “mid-life crisis” was the perspective offered by James Hollis in his book: “The Middle Passage: From misery to meaning in midlife”.

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/47849.The_Middle_Passage

These sorts of crises come along at various points in our lives apparently, when something new starts brewing within that finds itself at odds with the outer structures in our lives. Unfortunately we don’t have very good societal structures/processes to assist people through these difficult times, but I feel that an understanding of the underlying psychological dynamics within oneself that give rise to this conflict can ease the suffering induced by these times of transition.

And it is genuine suffering. Make no mistake. Part of you needs to die and be renewed. It’s also not something to numb or shy away from, but to work through. Just as building your life “before” was a project, or series of projects, so is this task of moving through this difficult time, riddled with paradoxes and contradictions.

Sorry to say but $54.20 is the best they will ever get for TWTR. Those days of $70 per share are over unless we enter another period of easy money.

I'm not advocating for Uber and Lyft or a free market or whatever, but isn't the "free market accounting for it already in the ride price" exactly because they adjusted their prices?
Yes. Not only does he get $100M for a few tweets and talks with an accountant, he gets to hurt people he doesn't like, and he builds his reputation as one who plays hardball.

You missing point.
I know about world system of monitoring for nuke explosions, but I don't talk about it.

I mean, threat of use nuke by terrorists is very close by its consequences to real blast.

Imagine, how much panic will happen, if appear plausible claim, that terrorists have nuke, which they planning to use in one of biggest US cities.

So special semi-military agencies, constantly working on eliminating possibility that terrorists will have access even to radioactive waste, not even speaking about enriched materials.

And this is what differ Western system of values from Russian or Asian - in Western system, lost of even one person considered unacceptable, but Russians accept sacrifice 20k of soldiers for crazy escapade, which they see in what now happen in Ukraine.
Elon Musk Talks at TedTalk 2022
> Is it a partisan issue in Australia or is it something both parties agree on?

They've been boiling the frog since 9/11. All anybody has to say is "national security" and the opposition party pretty much folds. Imagine the US without the Bill of Rights - that's the landscape.
Yes, Coral (edge TPU) are just custom designed ASICs mainly for inference (not training). No shared silicon with Real TPUs that Google runs in the data centers. They're just drafting off the marketing.

> for example, in a "free" twitter, i could post some racist tirade, and expect it to gain no traction/retweets from my followers & some random others.

Nah, you'd get a whole bunch of followers who are happy to see someone say the quiet parts out loud and would retweet.

Without social media, overt racists have to meet in private and the effects are local. With social media, they get a microphone that reaches the world and it spreads worldwide.
Absolutely. And even among good therapists, good fit is critical. Just because someone comes highly recommended by others doesn't mean they'll be right for you.
I have to disagree here. iCloud file sharing is atrociously bad. I share a fairly minimal amount of files with another apple account and there's constant sync issues, it's not anywhere near realtime or even "soon". Shared files and folders routinely never show up in iCloud drive even when they appear on the web interface. Restarts seem to be required to fix problems as they arise.
I used to use the elementary file manager and it was great... Then they started adding features that were really bad. Like they would try to calculate the size of a directory and its contents when you would just hover over the directory. For a directory with a lot of files that can be a CPU intensive task. My file manager was literally pegging one of the cores on my poor already overworked pinebook pro. For a feature I didn't ask for and which had no way to be disabled from the ui. Not wanting to poke around dconf, I tried a handful of file managers and settled on nemo. It just works, has a decent number of toggles, is leightweight. The familiar name was a bonus ;)

The one thing I miss from elementary's file manager is the column view.

He's just describing what a normal board would do.

No competent board would accept an offer lower than recent prices. Remember you only get one chance to sell the whole company.

Shareholders have had numerous opportunities to sell at this price and higher, so it makes no sense to recommend the sale at this price for all shareholders.
Since people have been able to choose what tools to use.

It might not be a perfect relationship - there will be lagging effects and other factors, it will vary based on the specific task, and some of it will be subjective - but you can’t pretend that there is no relationship at all.
Of course it would not pass muster, which is my point.

There is a giant 'non market force' at play there a certain kind of regulatory apparatus which most people understand exists for good reason.

This regulatory condition obviously supercedes 'fiduciary responsibility' of the Board.

Communications is a protected industry because powerful foreign interests can take control of narratives, precisely because people in the commons - including you and I - are fairly easily pursuaded.

'Truth' is really hard to do, it's a public good and it's why at the national level we have protections - and - it's why both Twitter, Google etc. as 'sources of information' fall under a different perspective of governance than say, a 'cracker company'.
You're comparing apples to Zanzibar.

You don't have 300 million people (including heads of state) outside your house (that you jointly own with millions of other people) standing on your lawn interacting with each other and the rest of the world.
There are a lot of politicians, activists, fundraisers, etc who communicate primarily through Twitter but send people to Patreon or GoFundMe or somewhere else to donate. That's an existing culture of soliciting donations on Twitter, and Twitter might be able to become the payment processor for some of those donations, if they do it right.
> It is ok for your hobby to be work.

I disagree and I also don't think watching TV qualifies as a hobby. Hobbies are something you set out to actively do and you're OK being mediocre at. Sort of like a pretend-job where there's no real pressure, only the joy of experimenting with it.

Almost by definition, you want to excel at work. You're worried about promotions, being fired, hitting your goals, getting the comp number you wanted at the end of the year, dealing with co-workers you can't avoid, bosses, beating your competitors, etc. Hobbies have none of these things. Not to mention the personal responsibility of bringing home the bacon, even if you're not the sole breadwinner, balancing life and work, dealing with conflicting schedules, etc.

Learning to play the piano or to sail or to skate or to crochet are activities that can be challenging but you don't owe anything to anyone. You do it because it's a nice way to get your mind off the stuff that does stress you.
You.com lets you prefer reddit and see it in your search
No, this happens to me (less replies shown than exist) and it's definitely a caching issue and I am using the app logged in. I have to literally open twitter in my web browser to try and get those tweets to load unless I want to wait until later for whatever caches to be invalidated. I don't block anyone.
That's nothing compared to the "argument list too long" problem in plain vanilla Linux.
What exactly is the argument? That more religion results in greater distinction between the acceptable roles of men and women? That's plausible enough. But if the implication is that men opt out of religious participation if it does offer increased subjugation of women -- that is a stretch for me.
It's true, you can use another file manager as your default in KDE, via the settings application. Don't take my word on this but it's something you can do as early as since the KDE4.x days, when Dolphin was starting out and people were used to Konqueror.
TBH I don't really know how to take this.

I am 31 so my age group is not represented at all by this graph. I am curious why they left out 30 to 64.

At least within my friend group (which I don't think any are younger than 29... not that I really talk about age often) we are universally against the invasion of Ukraine and want them to survive.

I don't feel like even at my age that I have experience or other events that are impacting my opinion. I also don't get most of my news from major news organizations.

So I am very curious why this is the case.
> Lead gas would eventually reach the point of doing so much damage that people wouldn't want to use it anymore, even if it was cheaper. Even if it didn't get to this point, eventually it would be killing/debilitating so many people that it phases itself out.

For that to be the case:

(a) you'd have to be able to make the causal link between societal damage and lead from vehicle fuel, which isn't something most people are capable of doing as individuals

(b) you'd have to have a choice in the matter as an individual consumer, which you didn't have for cars, because automakers produced engines that (they said) required lead gasoline, and the situation is similar for AV fuel
I was shocked recently by the price of the value meals as well, which has skyrocketed into full meal at restaurant prices.

The trick to McDonalds has, for a long time, been that the value meals are any thing but a value and to buy exclusively from the dollar menu. If you do that you will be hard pressed to find anything cheaper.
If I may, my impression is also that the younger generations don't "get" war. Why would I, ever shoot someone just like me because his/her/xyr government has forced them to point a rifle at me?

They've been raised in a post-modernist neo-marxist environment that very clearly marks the Western order as evil. To them, there is no "good vs evil", because they are evil and the West has no redeeming factors.

Why would you fight to defend that? Why fight to spread that?

Add a keen awareness of the Elites (however you define them) as the sole beneficiaries or war. The conscript or recruit on the ground pays the price so some WEF-agenda shareholder gets to see a bigger dividend this quarter? Hard pass fam.

Add in a general anxiety about everything: from talking to a stranger to the impeding collapse of life on Earth due to climate change within X years (where X is always a handful of years away), and war doesn't make sense. There are Bigger Issues than some lines on the map drawn by Evil White Men.

Now obviously this is all a generalization, and all of it goes out the window the minute someone shoots at you, but it's going to be interesting to watch what tactics have to be used to get an unwilling generation in the metaphorical front lines.

Just wanted to point out that there's a pretty interesting project called Geyser[0] (along with a plugin called Floodgate[1]) that allows Java and Bedrock Minecraft users to connect to the same Java server. This might be an avenue the author could take to allow the tailscale auth here to work. In my implementation I'm using PaperMC[2] as well.

There have been periods of negative inflation [1][2].

Though thats not really the point either. Gas prices DO fluctuate and recently have done so drastically (48% or so YoY). They are a contributor to the overall inflationary trend recently. Though aren't the only cause, or even primary IMHO, they are probably one of the biggest that are noticeable to the common person and one that doesn't scale well.

In 2006 after Katrina i was paying well above $3.00/gallon for gas. That got better over the years and really good in the last year or two. Then its bounced back up.

So again, if Amazon sees this as a temporary trend and cost to their service, it makes sense to itemize it off to allow the option of its removal when it stabilizes and/or reverts, rather than lump it in with their standard bottom line service charge and have to explain not one, but two changes to that down the line (an increase and then decrease).

Chronological order doesn't mean unbiased. LIFO is an algorithm. The only way to remove bias from the platform would be to deliver 100% of the available content at equal priority. But practical time and space limitations make that impossible. If a provider is nothing more than a dumb pipe moving bits from an input queue to an output queue, then the control of the moderation moves further away from the end user and into the hands of the content creators. Whoever is better and faster at getting their bits pushed into the pipe will be able to censor by brute force any opposing viewpoints.

Better search won't change that. If the current state of search is trying to find the one independent needle in a pile of commercially produced hay, imagine how it will be when the farmer didn't hire someone to shovel all the manure out of the barn.
The Luddites were a group of people who destroyed machinery that threatened their livelihood. In modern parlance it typically just means someone who is opposed to the adoption of new technology. I think parent's definition is more accurate than yours in either case.
Better accuracy vs time (especially with optimized frameworks).
