I find it fairly amusing that people who believe in the "lableak-hypothesis" seem to usually also be in the camp of people who don't think the virus is too bad. If the virus really came from the lab, then presumably the Chinese know more about its (long term) effects than the rest of us. And looking at the fact, that they have this zero COVID policy, that should absolutely terrify anyone believing in the aforementioned hypothesis.

Vote with your dollars: buy shares at a price higher than Elon's. Borrow if you must. If you are not ready to take that risk, then maybe your expectations are more wishful thinking than anything real.
I absolutely do not trust Brave. I tried their browser on my iPhone for a few months. Always chose the most private settings, don't save history, etc, so whenever I opened the app there was no evidence it had even been used before. After one particular update, I started the app and it opened up literally dozens of tabs. Going through them I realized each tab was a site I had visited in the past. Left a nasty review on the App store that they never responded to, but they pushed out another update almost immediately. Never again. I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if years from now we find out the CIA was behind Brave, like they were with Crypto AG

Wait, you were offered an equity package years ago but are only now receiving the certificates, and there is still a remaining vesting schedule? This sounds extremely fishy.

I think a fixed-time vesting over 4 years is pretty standard, starting from the moment of employment, with no additional terms. If they're not happy with your performance, they should fire you, rather than withholding shares. I think 0.6% of shares is quite low, and the tax reasons sound dubious.

> How do I make sure what I vest, I really do vest and they don't change the rules again?

The position of non-voting shares is quite precarious I think, because a voting majority in the company can simply dilute shares and render the STAK-owned shares less valuable. Besides that: just read the contracts, the STAK bylaws, and once you sign the certificate holder agreement it's relatively ironclad. I'd recommend getting some legal advice.

Yup.

I'm not the OP but Twitter has at various times suppressed information about covid and covid vaccines. They are well intentioned but they occasionally overreach.

As a quick example, [1] lists some categories of tweets which they will delete. Twitter seems to have overreached with category 2:

> Claims that specific groups or people (or other demographically-identifiable identity) are more or less prone to be infected or to develop adverse symptoms on the basis of their membership in that group;

This is nonsense. Your risk increases with your age. Your risk increases with your BMI. Men are at higher risk than women. Those working in customer-facing roles are at higher risk than those who can work from home. Each of those statements are apparently banned on twitter.

Also they have a vaccine that may not work.
> Elon has seen the same balance sheet and he thinks the true value of the company is higher than what it is now as well. So obviously he thinks Twitter has the potential to achieve much higher value through implementing XYZ. The board agrees too but just disagree on what that XYZ is.

Yes, but one version of XYZ (the board's) has been tried while the other (Elon's) has not. Elon's plan might lead to even worse results than the board's, but he doesn't think it would, hence his optimism if they adopt his plan.

Electric motors don't like operating all out (or close to it) at low rotational speeds for more than a very short time.

I see "Custom" allowing you to choose which elements (frame, fonts, etc.) to allow/block for the domain you're configuring.

Anything other than pro-rata with MFN will have a tax liability for you.

If the company was valued at $1M when you joined and you got 1% (simple numbers), and then the company raises $2M at a $10M pre-money valuation, your share goes down to 1%*(10/12)=0.83%. To keep you from dilution without you buying new stock, then company would "gift" you new shares, about 0.17% (a bit less but it doesn't matter). You'd then have to pay regular income tax on those $20k worth of stocks, likely at the highest tax bracket. It gets worse with higher valuations, and if it's your first startup you'll likely go bankrupt from the taxes before you get to a liquidation event.

(Having pro-rata rights doesn't make this cheaper: you'd need to pay the company the whole $20k to exercise your rights. My goal was to demonstrate that there isn't a way to get no dilution for free.)
I say this as a console guy since the 1980s: There’s also a huge chunk of PC games that have not and will not find their way across to console. Classic games, indie titles, niche tastes, etc. If I want to play Stalker, CDDA, Cogmind, Caves of Qud, DCS World or even the (extremely popular) Escape from Tarkov, I can’t do any of that on Xbox.

PC gaming is a weird and wonderful ocean; console gaming more like a highly curated pond.

A story from Rota's classic Ten Lessons I Wish I Had Been Taught:

I remembered an MIT colloquium that took place in the late fifties; it was one of the first I attended at MIT. The speaker was Eugenio Calabi. Sitting in the front row of the audience were Norbert Wiener, asleep as usual until the time came to applaud, and Dirk Struik, who had been one of Calabi’s teachers when Calabi was an under-graduate at MIT in the forties. The subject of the lecture was beyond my competence. After the first five minutes I was completely lost. At the end of the lecture an arcane dialogue took place between the speaker and some members of the audience—Ambrose and Singer if I remember correctly. There followed a period of tense silence. Professor Struik broke the ice. He raised his hand and said, “Give us something to take home!” Calabi obliged, and in the next five minutes he explained in beautiful simple terms the gist of his lecture. Everybody filed out with a feeling of satisfaction.

> The logic gates simply don't make mistakes, even after trillions of operations.

The error rates are not zero. Low, but not zero. Trillions of operations is what, a split-second of runtime on a five-year-old GPU?

"High-reliability" systems invariably use some form of error correction or error detection. You can do this at different levels of abstraction. At a low level, you can build redundant gates. At a company I used to work for, this was a product we sold--it would synthesize ICs from an HDL and incorporate error correction. (This particular feature forced the company to get ITAR export licenses.) At a different company I worked for, we did our error correction at a high level using software. We encountered hardware errors on a regular basis. I'm not even talking about ECC--I'm talking about CPU errors.

The only reason why you can think that imperfections and noise don't matter is because there isn't much noise in your environment and you aren't dealing with enough data that you'll notice any errors.

Deal with a large enough amount of data, enough CPUs, enough RAM, and error becomes a certainty.

The "quantum computers are analog" line is at best profoundly misleading. If your definition of "analog" extends to quantum computers, then I'd say that digital computers are also analog. Which is not an incorrect thing to say.
> Elon isn't perfect, but at least he doesn't have a demonstrated history of driving his companies' value into the basement

How are SolarCity and Boring doing these days ?
I can kinda see why Nintendo did this - rip off levels were a problem in Mario Maker, much harder to do that if you can't copy the level. Notice how many poor quality MM2 levels are the built-in demo levels (which you can freely start from) with a minor tweak? That would have happened to everything.

But you're right that it's frustrating if you're starting out. Many Troll makers provide a "behind the scenes" version where you can inspect how the contraptions work e.g. adding a vine you can climb to see mechanisms "above" the level, or making something transparent or whatever.

I think trolls are the category where off-screen mechanisms are most important. In a puzzle level they're mostly an unnecessary confusion (where did that key come from? Well, off screen a Thwomp hit an ON/OFF switch and...) and in Kaizo who has time to look at everything on the screen, let alone think about things that aren't on the screen.

Of course once you're actually "Into" it there are private discords and so on for discussing stuff where people upload video, provide codes for their "Uno mas" demos (ie very short courses that show off a single new idea) and explain insights into the underlying mechanisms. I never got that deeply into MM2 but it's clear that people writing trolls for Carl or Geek are co-operating.
Ok I'll set it up sometime soon and give it a try. Thanks.

I just want to point out that I have the exact opposite perception, that the majority viewpoint on HN is very pro-authoritarian measures (though I think whether they work or not is immaterial, its a silly side discussion to avoid talking about whether a government should be able to impose them or not)

Anyway, I think the way you and I perceive HN is shaped by our initial bias. Knowing the "reality" is a lot tougher
note that i have not carefully been through the claimed analysis here (and specifically have doubts about the data v. error plot) but if the claim that the analysis produces the effect with random inputs is assumed, then the whole thing can be rejected at step 0, right?

> In a March 2020 interview, Ai Fen, the director of Wuhan Central Hospital's emergency department, stated in an interview that “she was told by superiors ... that Wuhan's health commission had issued a directive that medical workers were not to disclose anything about the virus, or the disease it caused, to avoid sparking a panic.

> In the early stages of the outbreak, the Chinese National Health Commission stated it had no "clear evidence" of human-to-human transmissions. However, at this time the high prevalence of human-to-human transmission was evident to doctors and other health workers, but they were forbidden to express their concerns in public.

In seriousness, I’m in my mid 40’s and a literal gray beard, and I haven’t yet encountered anything I could recognize as age discrimination. I seem to be in more demand for higher-profile IC jobs than ever.

I could only wish I was being approached in this way in my 20s.
I have a Pentel (0.5) that I purchased 12 years ago. I treat it with equal ritual and reverence as I do, say, my Korean crossbow, or Leica optics - it has its own altar of sorts. I may have appendages of my own form that are guarded less. I modified it though, using a glue to permanently fix the pocket clip into a particular position.

I was hesitant to post a trivial comment, but I discovered an ancient container of 0.5 pencil inserts this morning, and... I worship high quality Pentels. Built to last!
The “they” you speak of in your quote is of governments. We are talking about Twitter. Calm down.

If he buys 100% of the shares the company can still be traded and shares will have a price. Shares can traded over the counter or via private deals. Just not through the Nasdaq.

The point here is that he does not own the company yet, and directors are the managers of the company and free to run it as they see fit.
Holding down shift to constrain an object scaling has been the defacto standard since before the dawn of man (or something like that). However, Adobe has seen fit to make a change in some of its applications so that using the modifier key releases the constraint making it the opposite of everything else. My brain still gets confused.
According to the Link NYK article: “The person who was responsible for the birthday parties who he talked to flat out forgot about his request,” Bucher said. “She didn’t do it to be mean. She said she would accommodate it and she just forgot.”

I see no reason to disbelieve this; mistakes happen.

I do think the subsequent actions such as "reading him the riot act and accused him of stealing other coworkers’ joy" and firing him were completely bonkers and devoid of empathy though. It's weird that this escalated like this and didn't just end with an apology and "are you okay?"
My response to this is always the same..

Which one of your friends do you nominate to tell you what you can and cannot read? Which one of your family members do you nominate to tell you what you can and cannot say?

If a person cannot nominate one for each then you can't say you agree with moderation.
Yes, but like always this is dependent on hardware and drivers. Which is a reason I'm excited about the Steam Deck and potential future devices. Hardware built by Valve has most likely the best compatibility.
I could be mistaken, but I believe that DDG sources data from Bing and other large search engines... If their sources, such as bing decide to remove a site, DDG gets affected by this as well.
Well, Twitter is 16 years old with $5 billions in revenue. Their maximum was ~$70 per share and that was 1 or 2 times. I don't think 92.40 is even reasonable since you have incumbents ranging from IG to tiktok.

Heck, Tiktok could add a timeline just like twitter and decimate them since Gen Z and millenials (26 and younger) are basically there. Facebook is old school and will start slowing down going forward. IG is for business since the appeal (sharing photos with friends) has been lost. Snap has its niche and Gab, Gettir, etc... are catering to the right.

People like controversy and that's the main reason twitter is relevant. Left and Right like to expose each other. That's the main reason alt-tech is not mainstream.
> If Duck really collects user data, the moment this is found out, they’re dead

It'd take a whistleblower for anyone to ever find out. What are the odds of that happening? I don't think we can count on someone who is being paid by a company to tell us about their actions when their livelihood/gravy train depends on it and they may be opening themselves up to legal problems for coming forward.

Not may people have the sort of integrity that folks like Snowden, Klein, or Tice demonstrated and even those that do can be pressured into keeping silent.
I got an old PC on eBay threw in a dual port Intel nic and put PFSense on it. Boom done.

His description of "old internet" and freedom is wrong. The "old internet" was predominantly american ( 90%+ ) and we didn't just want to protect free speech from conservatives attacking porn, but from everyone ( soccer moms, woke leftist, europeans, ADL, canadians, etc ).

> it means you're standing up against EVERYONE, because every side is trying to take away the speech rights of the other side.

Exactly. That's why the old internet defaulted to free speech. Because everyone understood that taking their free speech meant my free speech was vulnerable and it was impossible to just censor one and not everyone else.

> It's also where Russia is fighting a real war against us

This nonsense. Just the russians? What about the british, israelis, canadians, australians, saudis, chinese, iranians, etc. Not to mention the biggest threat - our own government. What percentage of foreign propaganda is russian? 1%? Just like all the russian money spent on facebook gave trump the presidency? All $40K was it?

> I want you to pause for a minute and think about your political alignment and whether you're on the left or right of this issue, because you probably think one of those things.

I'm neither and social media clearly leans towards one side.

> Elon is one of those, because he doesn't understand what has happened to internet culture since 2004. Or as I call it, just culture.

The culture was formed by censorship. The social media companies are trying to change culture. Get rid of censorship and we'll see about the culture. If yishan is right, how come real world culture is so different from social media culture? Perhaps because censorship allows a tiny minority to have the most influence/say?

> Facebook's userbase has at various times been left-leaning, then right-leaning, then bifurcated. So has Reddit's. Twitter's also. The social platforms don't care.

Is that why they collectively banned trump. Because they don't care?

> It is because we brought all of our old horrible collective dysfunctions onto the internet

The horrible collective dysfunctions were on the old internet long before social media.

> They are censoring because they are large social platforms, and ideas are POWERFUL and DANGEROUS.

That must be why we censor libraries...

Instead of wasting pages of text and much of our time, he could have been honest and answered in less than 140 characters - "We censor because of money".

The only difference between old internet and new internet is money and shareholders and centralization. The guy talks about everything - culture, russians, old internet, etc but ignores the elephant int the room. Money makes the world go round and money makes social media censor. If you are dependent on ads, you probably will have to conform to money's demands. I do wonder how elon will deal with the problem of money/ads. Though taking the company private and owning it outright should give him more leeway, I doubt he's willing to lose money year after year on twitter.
That was fun. I don't use anything except mechanical pencils but none of those really grabbed me and I generally love gadgets. For some reason I don't like the bouncy feel of the spring-protected tips and the only time I break leads is when I drop the pencil on the floor.
> We are in a downturn affecting the entire tech industry, and it’s likely that prices will return to previous levels at some point.

So why not take the offer (which is 20% higher than the current market price for the stock) and put the received cashed into other tech stocks? Is Twitter uniquely/excessively down compared to other tech stocks, and due for a bigger rebound?
Because it's been working, both from an economics and health perspective, and the locals seem to be in support of it, except for in Shanghai

Here's a well known person in Shenzhen discussing it. Obviously be aware that any source in China can't speak too directly against the government, especially the central government. However I feel rather confident that this thread is a pretty good representation of her actual opinion having read a lot of her tweets on the topic.

Even then, the Twitter board has staggered terms, so it is impossible to do a wholesale replacement of the board and thereby gain control of Twitter. The board voted unanimously to invoke the poison pill provisions in the bylaws so it isn't a matter of swaying a small number of board members.
No, right now it is an unsolicited offer. That doesn’t mean hostile, in financial terms.
