And yet it's incredibly common. I would guess 95% of users of services like Firebase, Supabase, Algolia, Sentry, Segment, Cloudinary, Auth0... do this, because it's the point and officially endorsed. They are intended to be "frontend safe" to an extent. Not against service abuse/scraping maybe, but against actual RCE, unauthorized actions or unauthorized data access.

I guess you can proxy all that, but then what do you that the third party couldn't be doing for you? Can the user not accomplish the same thing through your proxy that they could through the key? It'll be easier to drop some requests than it is to revoke an API key I guess. You could use client-certificates, stuff along the lines of Cloudflare's API Shield etc but I would guess that only the top 5% of applications do this.

I've certainly done it/am doing it right now, which is likely why I'm writing such a defensive comment.

Honestly if an enterprising user/developer wants to do something like dump all data that is already accessible to them, more power to them.
That's why I said it has utility when both parties to a disagreement appreciate it and use it.
On the other hand - the stock was flat over the time that he bought... So not in total agreement with you on the stock impact of his selling. It seems like the only impact is the headline risk - and not so much actual selling pressure.
And any moderation that twitter does is between a corporation and a person, it doesn't involve the government so it's not about free speech.
Why are you deifying him? He's not anymore special than the rest of us, he just has a lot of money.
I think that is a very narrow view on events.

First, I really do not think twitter is a anticapitalist forum and second, controlling twitter communication yields quite some power.

Single tweets made furor on the stock market.

It is probably way more about money, than anti activism, or pro free speech activism. (plus the personal vendetta of the twitter bot, who published Elons flights).
There's a pretty stark difference between 'golden age' capitalism and whatever this is now we're moving towards. The author is right to point out that the old social contract, which consisted of mass employment and labour as the primary input is largely being replaced by more and more bizarre ownership and asset speculation schemes.

Natural wine is one example, a more topical one is the entire 'crypto-industry'. Which isn't really an industry because nothing industrial is going on. There's not really any employment, productive work or goods produced as much as it is one big desperate attempt to get your foot into ownership schemes of various sorts.

'Economic activity' in that realm primarily consists of shoveling symbolic value from one purse into the other without producing or consuming anything of actual use value.
A company like Tailscale has multiple audiences, your company being only one of them.
I don't know how to ask this question without it sounding charged, but please take it as literal as possible and coming with absolutely no aggression:

Do you think removing Trump was pro-democracy? I stand very firmly against being removed on principle of him being an ex-president of the US, this comes from someone who probably thinks he should be prosecuted for (likely) falsely claiming election fraud, or IMHO stretching the definition in his favour.

I think this should be regulated, if not for everyone, at least for highly important accounts, and it should NOT be a private country that has so much power over the next US election.
Good engineering is when you solve the problems you have. Sometimes there are multiple ways to solve a problem. Just because they did not choose the solution (which again, we're only speculating would actually solve the issue here, we don't have proof of that) you prefer does not make it poor engineering.
Can Twitter block malicious actors and still be a proponent of free speech?
It will hit back at 40$ is as if the Elon pump never happened, is that so bad? However, it does create pressure from “activitists” to sell to Elon. The main thing is: Is Elon a good leader for Twitter. There is a lot of positives because Elon has already proven himself in multiple companies, plus he understands Twitter as much as anyone from his use of it
They are probably going to desperately try to find a white knight, and fail because Twitter lost the mass market years ago and at this point is a platform for rich people to post incredibly vapid, narcissistic takes about politics and society that say nothing.

They could actually make a phenomenal amount off of subscription revenue tho off of that model, doesn't really make sense for any of the FAANG's strategies but I could see it making a lot of money with competent management. Twitter Blue is one of their best ideas in a long time, but should be more expensive and have more features.
Exactly what I was thinking of!

To catch folks up MS offered Yahoo $44B in their CHOICE of cash or stock (58B inflation adjusted). Yahoo said no, then imploded.
That is not legally correct. Hate speech is not explicitly exempt from US free speech protections. There is no such law, you're just making things up. Unless it contains an explicit incitement to violence, hate speech is completely legal. The link you cited doesn't support your point.

The internal ACLU policy is apparently now to consider politics when deciding which speech to defend. As a private organization they're free to make those choices but it's disappointing to see them retreat from the values that I and other liberals hold dear.

I think the same is true for most drinks that you can buy ready-to-consume in small packaging. For me at least, the value is mostly in the production and supply chain that ensures the drink is created, bottled, and distributed to a phalanx of locations such that I can walk into any grocery or convenience store and be reasonably sure I can buy the drink I want in a single-serving container for a price I find acceptable.

So I don't think the product cost of the liquid itself really factors into the equation. Or at least it shouldn't. I usually assume most of what I'm paying for the logistics that lead to the drink being available and ready to drink where and when I want it.

I don't think the original comment was offensive, just that "it should probably be cheaper" misses the mark because for most drinks in this category, the price of ingredients shouldn't be a significant factor in determining its value to the consumer.

> Apple's implementation isn't perfect, but from experience I can tell you it's 10X better than the nightmare that is Android Bluetooth

Seem like I have different experience with them. I don't have issues with Android Bluetooth, I do have issues with Apple bluetooth.

Half of the time, my iPad couldn't detect my bluetooth devices (keyboard and audio accessory) are trying to connect to it (already paired). When that occurred, I have to go to the Command Center to force connect my bluetooth devices and half of the time iPad will obligate and connect. Other time it just give up and said couldn't connect or cannot find it (while my bluetooth device is poking iPad to connect). It is a hassle to use my bluetooth devices with the iPad daily.

On the Android side, it instantly connects, even my phone is sleeping.
The performance advantage was still in the ballpark of 4-8x faster for training MNIST on the CPU, which while smaller than most networks people are training on their GPUs, still has more than 40 thousand parameters.

For someone with a statistical background, this is a lot of parameters. John von Neumann could wiggle a lot of elephant trucks.

A lot of practical/useful models fill the range from the tiny ones we may use in UDEs and SciML to this MNIST convnet.
This is standard operating procedure for takeovers, but I think you're massively overestimating the amount of pressure someone selling 9% of the company places on the stock price. Someone buying 9% (with an expecation that they would buy more) moved the stock $10. The same person selling 9% stock (with no possibility that can sell more) is unlikely to move the stock more than that.
Or the SEC could finally go after Elon for market manipulation. There's always options.
Ah. I've read a number of articles. Words like, "adding 5% to the fees" wasnt clear to me... I tbought they were charging a blanket 5% of the purchase price!!
>current major investors will probably want to unlock that value themselves.

There's no evidence they're capable of unlocking that value. If they can, why haven't they?
Growing up in Australia, yes, though unknown in the USA where I am at the moment,
That’s because they only hire staff who have the opinions that the people who own the organization want them to have. There’s nothing left-leaning about corporate censorship, which Twitter embodies. It’s all neoconservative war propaganda.
I wonder if Alice In Wonderland along with Disney helped make the queen of hearts a memorable card face enabling people who are not as familiar with cards to recall the character.
That would mean that management effectively wins, the stock would go down but they wouldn't have to worry about the threat of Elon Musk looming over them and the crisis would be solved. It doesn't make any sense from a takeover perspective, if I was Parag that would make me feel more comfortable rejecting the offer.
I think he can. I see twitter to be a much better platform than FB and based on my observation engagement in the platform is only getting better. With politics, tech, markets as hot topics as ever TWTR could be worth much more under Elon.
My new personal pet peeve has been the torturing of the word oligarch. It’s now come to mean “rich person I don’t like.”

From my vantage point, it’s hard to see how Elon Musk is making any governmental policy decisions - and thus isn’t an oligarch. But maybe you have some examples?

Musk is extremely rich and can buy a lot of stuff. That’s entirely different than determining agricultural policy, or putting people in jail, or conducting the census, or maintaining the border, or doing anything else that a ruler does.
I left out the "spam" from my comment, because I agree, automated spam detracts from conversation. That's something I think 99% of people can agree on. But banning someone for mentioning firearms, or their skepticism of <insert-latest-corporate-media-push-here> is crazy to me. Same with people talking about their sexuality or whatever liberals do these days. Nobody gets banned for saying what's on their mind. And it's not the platform's job to prevent people from getting their feelings hurt.
Oh I know, this is like twitter account number 5 since twitters introduction. I tried Mastadon, Diaspora, and many others over the years. The only platform I've managed to leave for good (5 years and counting) is anything associated with facebook because that's the easiest set of platforms drop.
Yea for sure, it's totally awesome when individuals hold absurd wealth because they never abuse it and we definitely don't have countless examples throughout history of this phenomenon causing harm to society.
I liked this line near the end that helps bring together the article “But what if the question isn’t who are you, but what socioeconomic structures contain who you are?”.
Amazon is so gigantic at this point that the surcharge is like a tax. Amazon's market cap has fluctuated between the GDP of canada and south korea. Might as well view it as a country.

> is it not against the SEC's rules for market manipulation?

Maybe, but he's also being sued over a violation of market manipulation rules with regard to non-disclosure of his recent Twitter purchase, and that's not the first problem he’s had with those rules.

“Elon Musk” and “securities rules” don't really go together.
In high school in the 90s I worked at a place that hired lifeguards and then staffed things like condo and hotel pools etc so they didn’t have to. Sometimes we would get stuff like birthday parties and such.

I was a lifeguard at a party for the ceo of Arizona iced tea. Never seen a house like that. Crazy how much money you can make selling sugar and water. From that experience they aren’t lacking.
That’s a reasonable opinion.

I guess I’m judging him based on his moments of “unwise” behaviour on Twitter, but perhaps that’s focussing on the wrong thing when compared to the progress of the likes of SpaceX and Tesla.
The only thing stopping them from meeting the monopoly definition and being required to break up, is the low prices to consumers. That's it, that's the only thing protecting them and this has been being questioned in the last few years.
I suspect the answer to this question lives deep in the supply chain in the form of sugar subsidies. Your taxes work to subsidize the production of overwhelming quantities of corn syrup. other flavours of iced tea like watermelon are sourced from GRAS (generally regarded as safe by the fda) aroma chemicals, similar to the ones in air fresheners. these are cheap to source and efficient to use.
Increase water to tea ratio
How many people on twitter think they're important? That's the more pertinent question.

Would prefer not to reveal my identity - it could be searched. I can paraphrase though. It was a thread a couple years ago on how nazis can be punched, but it was spreading to anyone who was perceived as right wing, such as Andy Ngo, with the excuse that they are all nazis. Being a pacifist, I replied with something sarcastic along the lines of "As long as we are punching nazis, why don't we also punch the taliban, ISIS, MS13, Zionists, north koreans, evangelicals, trump supporters, and puppies?" Obviously not serious, but I was banned for promoting violence. Ironic considering the thread I was replying to was all about unironic support of real world violence. My joke wasn't a good one, but it was a joke.
Anybody who's ever worked with houseless folks will laugh at the idea that cops can't just pick people up and hold them without any repercussions. In the US you need to be of the right social standing to actually be afforded those "rights".

Due process has always been a myth in US history for people who aren't of a certain privileged status. For example, the whole concept of "citizen's arrest" was created in order to let non-cop white people detain black people

I thought the whole thing with soft drinks is that they cost basically nothing to make but we're all used to paying 1000x their value.
Even if the stock was at $70, do you think they could sell? It would tank the price.

This is a good offer.
> USA doesn’t have rule of law

Total nonsense. The US doesn't have perfect rule of law but then nothing is ever perfect. Failures like the ones you are presenting have been widely reported, are largely controversial, and nobody who has criticized those arguably undesirable outcomes has been silenced or disappeared by the US government.

I would a thousand times rather be indicted in the US or most European countries than in China or in Russia where the arbitrary and corruption of the judicial system reign.

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

Or alternatively, capitalism is gamed by legislation passed by the government, written by lobbyists, to ensure corporate cash cows are never troubled. Medical, pharmaceutical, insurance, banking industries are good examples. That's not really capitalism.
Whatever.

We've talked about compliance and advertising revenue, which I think are good points for discussion.

The motivations of Elon are unclear. What is clear is that he hates feeling like his behavior is being controlled or monitored. He loves attention. He's petty. For someone who wants to advance the world and get to Mars, he obsesses over small slights and squabbles far too much. Twitter is far from being some technological marvel. They have a decent application with lots of reach. Doesn't really match the rest of Elon's assets. Doesn't seem to align with his goals.

But let's imagine Elon's Twitter. Let's say he isn't bound by laws and contracts preventing it and he says "anything goes" on the platform. What happens to advertisers? I assume they leave. What happens to staff? I assume they get fired when the revenue dries up. We know what "free speech twitter" looks like; an uber-conservative site devoid of real life and full of misinformation.

Does allowing medical (and other) misinformation and promotion of violence to spread on Twitter serve Elon's ends? Perhaps, if he wishes to make an attempt to become an autocrat (which wouldn't be surprising; it's every geek and billionaire's dream) or support one. It doesn't seem like he'd fight the spread of that misinformation with corrective speech, as he has what's (at best) a loose relationship with the truth.
I agree with you, certainly, but you must see that a shareholder could believe that Twitter has this potential under current management but wouldn't under Musk, or under a different management but still not with Musk. Whether they are mistaken can only be determined by playing out the future.
He's not going to be able to sell his 9% stake at the current price without the market reacting negatively. The share price would drop because of the immense selling pressure it would cause. Unless there is another billionaire wanting to eat up all those shares, the supply would simply overwhelm the demand which in turn causes the price to drop until the market was able to meet the supply.
Well, it's valid for security too. Any kind of engineering (science and arts too) has those qualities that come from competence and simplicity. Those are always rare.
Indeed because a snapshot loses the shared editing, which is only sometimes what you want.
That's pretty brilliant. He's in a win-win situation, it seems like.
Elon Musk is The genius for manufacturing, super deep research, and science as evident with success he has.

He has no experience, or at least none that I read about. Social media is complex simply because of human element involvement and immense regulatory push and pull.

Given that, I cannot see how he can replicate the success for science, manufacturing, tech in the social scene.
I’m not sure if there’s a formal name for this fallacy, but it’s pervasive in almost all financial reporting: the sticker price has nothing to do with the cost of materials; it’s driven only by how much people are willing to pay.

As a manufacturer, if the cost to produce something is higher than what customers are willing to pay, then you simply don’t sell it.

There are commodities where this doesn’t apply as much because there’s enough competition keeping downward pressure on the price so it floats just above the actual raw materials price, but other than that, this concept applies to most products.
It reveals that everything he ever said about Mars, or about global climate catastrophe, was just so much posturing.
That's where the market manipulation comes into play. Acknowledging/threatening a possible pump and dump if he doesn't get his way could clear the SEC's bar of "Intentional or willful conduct designed to deceive or defraud investors by controlling or artificially affecting the price of securities, or ... designed to drive a stock’s price up or down"

Someone much smarter than I could likely argue that the "threat" of Elon possibly pulling out his investment in a company is affecting the stock price, and now suddenly Elon is in control of the direction of the stock, even though the underlying fundamentals have not been changed.

Right, which is fine. I don’t watch Fox because I don’t like the content Fox produces. You seem to be interested in turning Twitter into some sort of firehose wherein I’m forced to consume Fox content anyway.
