> So you're tarring both sides of the current war in your comment.

Okay? What does this have to do with what I said? The Russians were obviously in charge of the USSR.

> We don't know, but to downplay the player

You're misreading what I wrote. I'm not talking about the importance of their contribution, but about their general competence. Even with US supplies, the USSR took absurdly huge losses against a smaller population invader, while fighting on their own home turf. That speaks to general ineffectiveness, that they could only win through overwhelming numbers.

The most important purpose of a military is to defend their country's populace. The USSR utterly failed here. You can argue that this is because the USSR was also just less economically developed than Germany, but that doesn't exactly paint the country in a flattering light either.

> The Soviet Union (nor the UK) didn't have the luxury to sit back and scale their industry

Bullshit, they could've done it earlier. Germany went back on peace to split Poland with the USSR, any idiot could see the likelihood of eventual backstabbing. Stalin knew it was coming, he was just wrong on exactly when because he didn't believe the intel he got.

> War is hell and shouldn't be romanticised or seen as a solution.

Obviously.
What are the options for Elon Musk if he really wanted to counter this poison pill?

Gets away with what? With being based?

> The message is clear, whether the order to fire him came directly from Elon or whether it came from the culture he set, only positive posts about the product are allowed.

So, ok, he is super-defensive of his products, fires employees who show his company in a bad light. So? I am sure you can dig up much worse on just about any CEO or person in power. It doesn't really say anything about how this will turn out for twitter. The real question is whether one man should be in power of a huge social media platform or not. To me, it doesn't matter if it's one rich fuck or a committee of rich fucks. The latter will tend to mediocrity and common denominator, the former may actually do something fun. He's been delivering so far. You know, fuck twitter, let's see it burn, or let's see it be something different, it's a cesspool no matter how you look at it anyway. I don't understand why people are so upset.
Isn't Flask a web framework for python, and at that, a quite small one? Not sure how that compares to a game framework, especially one that "forces" you to one architecture (ECS in this case). Games will always be more complicated to create and maintain than web services.
I don’t understand how any board can implement a “poison pill”, not just Twitter but Netflix and others, and not be found working against the interest of shareholders. Can anyone help me understand?

You’re categorically changing the profile of the stock. This has a chilling effect on large investors, including but not limited just to Musk, right?

Vanguard, for example, has just had its range of further investment limited arbitrarily. Isn’t that bad for all stockholders, to know that large stakeholders will not drive the price up if they somehow gain substantial belief in the company?

The risk portfolio of Vanguard just went up considerably because in the case that they fully lose faith in the board, they no longer have the option of installing a friendly board, they must simply liquidate their holdings. This, in turn, makes them more skeptical of further smaller (non-takeover) investment because it’s more to liquidate and more risk.

Who does this benefit besides the board? I guess I understand that the board is not beholden to the interests of all shareholders equally, and I’m not suggesting that this doesn’t benefit some shareholders, but where does the line start?
Wasn't there some blurb making the rounds that that's exactly why Amazon stopped listing WHAT has shipped to you? i.e. they used to send you an e-mail, itemizing all your stuff you have coming. Now they just send you a "your order has been delivered" e-mail with a link for more info.
Are you claiming that this common kind of poison pill provision is illegal?
I think the most famous counter-example would be Netflix in 2012

I’m not a huge fan of right-turn-on-red but one thing I don’t often seen brought up is that right-turn-on-green is problematic as well, for this very reason. When your light (to go forward) turns green, the pedestrian crossing on your right often also turns green, which means there are now pedestrians trying to cross your path. It’s definitely better because you’re only have to focus on pedestrians and not traffic, but “green=go” is a thing that has led several cars to almost hit me at street crossings.
This article is incredibly light on specific details about what exactly about the JVM is problematic and just vaguely hints at it not being open-source enough (despite OpenJDK having been a thing for ages), something that I consider to be more ideological in nature than pragmatic.

As someone who has written Ruby for years and more recently switched over to the JVM, I don't see the big deal. Both ecosystems have their advantages and disadvantages. The fact that so much of Ruby's ecosystem is built on C has its downsides too, e.g. compilation errors on "bundle install" because your version of nokogiri doesn't work with whatever C libraries are installed on your system anymore, or a frequent need to install new ruby versions which can be rather slow when you have to compile them from scratch.
I agree on the open office plans (excuse to cram more people in a space) but a decent cube setup isnt all that bad (assuming decently high walls).

I guess it depends on what level of conspiracy we're talking about. The parent comment referred to the Mandela effect, so that's what I was thinking about. Mandela effect, flat earth, anti-vax, Q-anon, reptilians, bigfoot, there's a reason these groups tend to cross over.
No, that’s only for shares trading at the moment. Otherwise buyouts would not have the premium they normally do.
s7 Scheme is as easy to embed as Lua, you might like it. I used it for Scheme for Max and Scheme for Pd and it's been wonderful - it was the easiest to embed of a bunch of lisps I tried. It's not well known because it came out of the computer music world, but it has also been used in games and other media tools.

Janet is surprisingly similar to s7 in many ways. I've been keeping my eyes on it as well, I sure hope it continues! Schemes are so flexible that moving from one to another is just not that hard.
This would make a lot of sense, since as mentioned elsewhere, it can cause accidents when people don't drive predictably. Great summary as well.

Yeah you could just as well say "oh crap I didn't mean to do that" after finishing a non-interactive command. However, at least knowing my own lazy tendencies, I could imagine feeling comfortable hitting <enter> on this command without a final careful review, because part of me thinks that I can still back out, since the interactive part isn't finished yet.

But maybe not. I haven't tried it yet (and it does seem really useful).

They reduce car crashes with other cars. I don't know off the top of my head if they reduce car-pedestrian crashes but I suspect not.

I used to live off of a busy roundabout in a place that makes heavy heavy use of roundabouts (almost no four-way stops). It felt dangerous as fuck honestly. The crosswalks are a little "downstream" of the true circle, where cars have already begun to exit. Frequently (saw this a few times myself) a car would stop for a pedestrian and then get rear-ended by another car focused on exiting the roundabout.

This was not the US so unfamiliarity with roundabouts can't be blamed. They were the norm there.
I mean, it's kind of farcical to complain about Java build systems and compare that to C, which has literally the worst build system/dependency management tooling. Even with vcpkg and conan (which are infinitely better than what existed before), building projects with 4-5 dependencies (abseil, boost, folly, and range-v3, say) requires understanding why builds break complaining about iterator traits under C++20 on Clang 13. It's insane. How can Java possibly be worse than that? It may not be as nice as rust or python (even python can be pretty insane for dependency management, actually), but with Maven I could add 3/4 lines to my project, and in my IDE the dependency would "just work" and I could even navigate to the source code of the dependency.

And it's not like this is a slow language, Java is like 80-90% as fast as C if you know what you're doing, and for most use-cases, and isn't brain-dead in its handling of threads.

I'm a C++/Python developer, by the way, although I've had day jobs writing Java too. I honestly think this is way off base; it's a great language which has constantly evolved, and the JVM is a fantastic piece of technology. Rich Hickey was super smart in targeting the JVM, it was a great decision, and to my mind OP hasn't a clue of what he's talking about.
Hah, I feel pretty much the opposite. For me, Java is simple and logical, and its IDEs help tremendously.

C (and C++), on the other hand, is a trash fire of macros obfuscating code, header files (WTF they're still here in 2022?), libraries which are hard to import, barely working IDEs (IntelliSense in latest Visual Studio takes 30+ seconds to update itself after every change in my small C++20 pet project), people redefining primitive data types in a hundred different ways, unusable compiler error messages etc. Every time I have to work with C++, I'm getting angrier by the hour - and my codebase is only a simple personal project!

I used Franz Lisp on our student VAX 11/750 at university, maybe in 1985. I have no idea what kind of license the university had and how much they had paid for it. That wasn't a question you would ask yourself those days, all computers were worth millions.

Around those days the university also bought a Symbolics. But its capacity was well below the VAX so students didn't get to use it without working on any very specific project in just that Lisp group.

It's not a race. I have conditions that are considered worst than tinnitus.

Having a lawnmower in my head at all time is not the end of the world. But it's certainly exhausting and sometimes disabilitating.

It's meaningless to compare health conditions. What's the worst between something that kills you, something that paralyzes you, something that gives you constant pain and something that triggers constant fear in you?

All of them. All of them are the worst to people who suffers from them.

Tinnitus is brought up in the article, this is why people are talking about it. Not because it's a condition that is worst than others.

Reading about a possible cure is one of the are form of hope someone with tinnitus will ever have.

I'm the author of the post and just want to say: I think it's awesome that you work at a remote company and am glad that you found a role that fits your personality. It sounds like you're happier there and I'm glad that the option exists.

I think that the fact that there's more variety now in whether you can work remotely or in an office is awesome, and I hope that's not going away. (And don't think it will.) And no job should ever give you hell for staying home one or two days per week if your job is totally doable at home.

With that being said, there are a lot of people in the world that genuinely enjoy having in-person interactions with their colleagues every day and I'm one of them. I've been lucky enough to work in jobs with awesome colleagues and I don't want to be put up digital barriers between me and them. I also like the fact that I have some forcing function for getting more than 2,000 steps a day.

The main thing that I'm worried about is that companies are going to see dollar signs in remote work because they can cut office space expenses, only for employees to not be able to backtrack.
None of that is "behind the scenes" -- a lot of Americans support those efforts and vote for candidates that will carry them out.

Very possibly.

If your carrier can do anything near 55 knots away from the torpedo, it's safe.

>To Putin, Ukrainians are Russians who have been corrupted by anti-Russian influences into believing themselves to be a different people, and the Ukrainian language is a corrupted form of Russian (Russian with some Polish mixed in)

That sounds almost benign, like just a minor difference of opinions, when taken that way out of the context. The context though is the declaration that anybody resisting that conversion back to Russian and insisting on being Ukrainian is to be killed. Another, wider context, is the deep contempt (which Russians in theie Great Russia chauvinism fail to notice as well as to acknowledge when pointed out to) Russians have for Ukrainians in general which is well illustrated by usage of "hohly" with various level of offensiveness for example, as well as pretty deep mutual anymosity between Russians and Western Ukrainians.
(Note: i grew up in USSR as a Russian by mentality, and i'm half-Ukrainian by blood, so i have some idea what i'm talking about here)

Anyway, Nazism isn't about why some are deemed inferior. Nazism is about deeming some inferior and acting violently upon that belief.

> What exactly ticked you off?

Can't pinpoint to an exact thing, because good propaganda is always diffuse, it kind of encircles you. Were it to be more "straightforward" it would be way easier for the target subject to just reject it, thus denying the propagandist's objective. It is easier for said target subject to say "no" (let's say) to one big thing that is presented to him than to say "no" to lots of smaller things addressed/presented to him, but which smaller things, taken together, have the same "effect" as the one big thing.

Back to The Economist, and after that long digression, the signs were in a sort always there. For example when it comes to the China section that it's included in every issue there was always that feeling that nothing that the Chinese government/authorities did was right. If something good was happening in China it was because of individual people, if something bad was happening, it was, of course, the government's fault. And maybe the "government" is the wrong word, because there are lots of people in the West itself who think that the Government is always wrong, too, it was more like "it was the fault of the Chinese regime taken as a whole, of the way it was set up, of its ideological system".

But when it came to the US the bad things were never the fault of the government, or if some government-related person was doing something wrong (think the previous US president) then it was the fault of that particular person, not of the entire system per se. Also, said US system, even with its minor faults, was always presented as being capable of self-correction, there was always an intrinsic belief that "things will get better, by definition". No such hope was attached to the Chinese-based system, which was always presented as an ideological dead-end (maybe not in this direct words, but that was the idea).

And then there are even smaller things. One that stood up to me was when the previous president was accused of lying, a thing that lots of other US president had done in the past (and will probably do in the future, too) but which I hadn't seen presented as such by this magazine, I mean, not with those words. And not only that, but that lye accusation was written down in one of their columns with a capital L, something like "the big Lye", which is a basic propaganda technique: one is not a mere "traitor", but a big, dangerous, "Traitor", one just cannot think and reason about a nondescript "people", one instead dreams big nationalistic things while thinking about the "People" etc.

The war/Russia issue I was talking about had all of the above dialed up to 100.
Read some Matt Levine, he's way more articulate and makes finance quite fun. But if I were to take a stab at it:

The market has been so weird recently that stock splits - which according to previous theoretical belief do not create shareholder value - have in fact increased the share price for extended periods. So issuing stock for whatever reason (high price, poison pill) could be seen as shareholder maximizing.

One could say diluting the stock so that a particular personality cannot buy the whole company could be shareholder maximizing as it would entrench ESG held values -- emboldening new shareholders to purchase the stock (saving the stock price).

And point of information, by diluting rather than selling already owned shares, control is not ceded to the potential acquirer -- unless the potential acquirer doesn't care about the poison pill and will pay the premium for the new issue as well.

This is quite fun to watch.
> it doesn’t justify blindly following whatever Elon wants to do.

Actually, it does. When someone starts multiple impossible companies, and makes big successes out of them, it's not random chance anymore. I'm willing to bet on the man.

Bill Gates pivoted Microsoft 3 times, each time led to orders of magnitude increases in the company's value. 3 times is no longer chance, it's the man.

Ditto for Steve Jobs.
You may not own a Pentium 2, but someone might. This is only hard if you make it hard. My that an old Linux kernel, by design, can be built today. This is a feature it has for free, a consequence of not relying on flimsy network based dependency managers.

Yes, but I think people sometimes confuse the criteria for 'good reasoning' in the moment.

It's easier to paint a prophet as a crackpot if everyone else is putting time and energy into finding fault with them. You can vilify anyone, especially those that look different.

They changed some obscure and offensive words initially, but there have been recent news articles around days where people had 2 different solutions to the same puzzle.

Initially I suspected that this was NYT watching for how unusually difficult words play out and then changing the answer on the fly to be a simpler word. But I think in reality these were the same changes they made shortly after the acquisition and somehow people have the old JS file cached locally.

Sure, I imagined as much. My point was that your experience (and others like yours) seems to differ significantly from the experience of, for example, the people penning these studies.

I personally have no experience with psychedelics (and no desire to get any), so I am just looking with a bit of wonder at the differences from the sidelines.
Regarding the sentiment of needing to control disinformation: isn't this only necessary if the people on the medium are ignorant of the facts of reality and cannot think for themselves?
Yes, I suppose, but I can never remember those flags.
