Are you guys getting downpayment contributions? I had to buy my house on my own, my parents make way less than me, it will actually break my heart to take money from my parents.
I used to be part of a volunteer organization that is a loose confederation of local chapters that are all kept in line with a bit of copyright law by the original chapter. The central council that meets nationally on a monthly basis is organized almost entirely through Google Drive.

The problem with the Business side of Drive is how Google conflates Groups, the message board/mailing list product with Groups that you apply permissions to. The chapter I belonged to had our own Google Apps domain. My account on that domain was added to one of the mothership's Groups so I would get announcements and participate in discussions.

Unknown to them, that Group inherited a lot of default permissions from their Shared Drives. I couldn't get to the drives by browsing, but if I searched for terms that matched documents in those shared drives, I could open the documents AND open the containing folder. At which point I could browse up to the root of the shared drive.

I reported it on the sly, one Mistress of Webs to another. We had a good "holy sh** what?!" laugh about it.

It got fixed but as I've spoken to people at other NPO orgs that use Google apps, I've found that most have had the same mess happen: A group with external members was created as a convenient mailing list. Then, later they discovered that if the external member was also a Google for Business account they "inherited" some interesting access to things in Drive.
Many were skeptical and they were right to be skeptical. We're now experiencing inflation the likes of which we've not seen for decades. And it isn't over. It's not unlikely we'll enter a period of hyperinflation soon that breaks all historical records for the US.

> If the person making your work life toxic is also a union member (and denies it), it puts the union in an awkward position.

No, it doesn't because the rules are agreed to before the events, just like the rule of law in society in general. They don't negotiate rules during a conflict...

In Sweden, everything you're saying is irrelevant because it's neither the company nor the union which evaluates the contract and the specific case in question. There are special courts and authorities to handle this which are independent of both parties. The only way that unions and companies are involved are negotiating the contracts that are evaluated.

Even if what you said applied, which it doesn't, my response would be "perfect is the enemy of good." That system would be better for most people than one of total subjugation.
> I would add that if Elon buys twitter and deletes it, I would be fine with it.

This is completely off topic and not at all your fault, but even though we are actively talking about Elon Musk and he should have been the primary person in my head, and even though the spelling is different -- for some reason my brain still interpreted "Elon" in the above sentence as Ellen DeGeneres, and I got really confused for about 10 seconds about why you felt the need to add that you would also be OK with her specifically buying Twitter.

Given the audience, the numbers may be skewed, but how many people really look at a heatsink like that? Aren't most people just too damn excited to get the new system up and running, and just install as quickly as possible after unboxing?

But now that you've mentioned it, I've stared at heatsinks a lot without once considering how it was actually made.
I did not mean minor cosmetic things.

I mean broken lights, broken parking sensors, broken washer jets, damaged number plates etc. Modern bumpers are designed to prevent injuries to pedestrians - it may "look fine" from the outside but internal mounting brackets etc may be bent out of alignment or otherwise damaged. These are all expensive to put right.
I bet we're still paying fuel surcharges added back during the last gas price spike 15 years ago.

Me too I was at the edge of my seat waiting for the heatsink to be thrown out of a plane.
You also have less control over the application. It can spy on you and change out from under you.

Information, media, and entertainment were always available, but in a form where you actually own it, not pay for N subscription services before their license runs out.

That said: best of both worlds imo is fat client, traditional applications that run in a web runtime (e.g., Electron) since you can run 'em on any OS. ;p

In the literal sense, it would be banning zero content. Not even gory, adult-themed/non-family-friendly content. Personally, I'm all for that. You can't have good without bad. Giving more freedom means giving it to bad actors just as much as good actors. That's just something people can't seem to come to terms with.

Ha! Came to post this...I assumed I was the only one to remember it. I got it working when it was part of NCDWare for the NCD X terminals (mostly on the later 700-series terms). Worked, though the audio hardware on the terminals was basic, so it wasn't exactly an audiophile experience. Very clever work, tho.

Big social media companies, just like all other companies, desire regulations that solidify their market share and make it more difficult to create a new competitor. What generally happens in the US is a new regulation is drafted that theoretically achieves some good end, but whose true purpose is to make it more difficult for competitors to enter the space. That's why companies pay lobbyists.
That was before there was an invasion to blame it on.
I mean, if we got every internet company to agree and had some kind of public standards and the ability to vote or otherwise talk through borderline issues, I'd be fine with that as a solution, even as somebody who does hold the US view of free speech.

The problem is that there's no way companies are going to leave money on the table or authoritarian governments are going to agree to that, so then you're right back to the two different set of standards where companies proclaim in the EU/US/etc. that they follow content moderation according to the DHR while letting some countries erase gay people and women, and if that happens, their claim to any kind of moral stand or objectivity can't be taken seriously.

Frankly, I think this issue is going to require some VERY large changes to our systems to deal with, but first we have to go through the panic period where the people in power realized they fucked up and try to save the system that serves them well. I'm of the opinion our information expansion over the last 15 or so years is as monumental as the invention of writing or possibly even just the printing press. Social upheaval is going to follow, and until we establish new systems, it's hard to know how to use those systems to combat this problem.

For example, I think the Constitution is outdated and we should rewrite it.
Unfortunately the newsletter is on break until Monday, although he did end up writing a column about Musk on one of his days off a week ago[1].

TikTok is only as big as it is because of its efficient and useful algorithm/'for you' page. It's a testament to the fact that even the small amount of friction introduced in signing up and managing a friends list is too much for most people.
That's fascinating to watch. I am curious why this would be a faster & more robust production process compared to extrusion. I would have guessed it's easier to build it some conventional way.
Twitter holds a massive amount of soft power. And the sooner we acknowledge it, the better. It seems a matter of national security that a foreign power could accumulate the centralized reigns of Twitter as well. (not that decentralized solutions will solve this. It will actually be even riskier that they will be abused similarly)

Jack could have maneuvered so it stays in the hands of the board, but as expected he has pooched that.
Doing std::mem::forget is not unsafe as you cannot get any sort of undefined behavior which is what Rust protects you from [0].

Leaking is pretty safe, not always desired but definitely not dangerous like random pointers derefs.

But as OP says, leaking accidentally is uncommon.

> There's no reason to assume Twitter shares can't reach the same levels ever again

but it depends on how far that "again" is.

If you bought at $33 a month ago, you'll be now getting a 60% return. You can put that in another less risky investment and still have a very healthy return over the next 5 years, say 5% , less than the historical sp500 rate, you'd get to ~$69.

So if Twitter gets back to $70 in five years Musk's offer is still an ok investment, but its growth has been almost zero for the last 8 years, it's not trivial that it would become a powerhouse in the next 5.
Yes! These things should all be user-controllable preferences, NOT overridable by web site designers. Browsers have ceded way too much control over look and feel to web designers! Ideally, a site like HN would just serve structured text content, and I would get to decide font typeface, text size, margins, color scheme, background image, and so on, from my configured preferences. This should be the browser’s built-in default: I should not have to turn on extensions and plugins just to wrest control back from website designers. At most, website designers should be able to offer a default style for the case where the user did not set preferences, but the user’s preference should always override!
What I don't understand is why power would be so relevant. I want to know if going from A to B would increase my revenue. I run an A/B test and see statistical significance, even if a minor one. I now know that B is better than A.

I suppose the need for a power calculation comes in when considering effort. If I need 10 engineers for a month to build out a feature that won't get the power it needs for a year, it may not be worth it.
>Can I bend cutlery and coins? Sure, but I heed Cassidy’s advice, and I don’t. If I step onstage and bend a fork with my brain, it makes everything too unbelievable.

No, you cannot bend metal with your brain.

That would actually be worthy of our attention instead of this drivel.
I'm not complaining - I'm pointing out that leaking memory is considered "safe" in the rust memory model to the point where there is a safe method in the stdlib to do so.
Yes, and Sony has been really impressive with their cameras lately. It looks like finally Canon and Nikon woke up and start trying to match their (unfortunately for me, Olympus decided to sell their camera business? Did somebody buy them yet?).

The thing about larger sensors, for those that aren't aware, is that they produce much better quality images because each pixel is larger, and can gather more light. More light equals a stronger signal, in a noisy ambient.

I sometimes try astrophotography because it lets me combine my photography hobby with my programming passion, and I end up writing my own processing pipelines. With a compact camera, I could get the ghost of one of the brightest galaxies in the sky (Centaurus A in the southern hemisphere). With the MFT camera, using the included kit lens I got a little bit of detail, but it was just a few pixels wide. Switch on to a vintage lens I got for ~15 dollars, and I managed to get the galaxy and quite some detail. Not the same as a telescope image, but very impressive for a 1970's lens on a small camera!

And the noise levels aren't even comparable. My old compact camera was Noisy with a capital N. Of course I didn't realize it when I bought it, but it was[0]. I see the same on phone cameras (the sensors are about the same size now). The MFT even on ISO 25600 (highest it goes to) isn't as noisy as the compact camera was at 3200.

Most phones will cover that with a lot of computation, and that's fine for a small screen. But load your pictures on a large monitor and you'll start seeing the details and differences. However (and it has been said everywhere in the comments) phones are usually way more convenient because you always have it with you.

[0] For reference, some 12 years ago I bought a Canon G12, then a G16, and then moved on to a Olympus OMD E10. On every change I got far better quality at about the same camera size, though the olympus is slightly more bulky, and you have to factor in the lens too.
Title is hyperbole. The internet wasn't broken by an NPM package because most of the internet and most of the web doesn't use NPM packages.
Combined cycle power plants take heat at 2000°C using a combination of gas and steam turbines. Their conversion efficiency to electric power is 52%, see Wikipedia. This is proven technology, at least 30 years old, and quite a few of those exist out there.

Steam turbines alone can be operated at higher temperatures by using mercury instead of water. Some plants using this approach were built in the 1920/30s.
His tweeting patterns reflect free speech ideals. I'm surprised you don't see that. He's also one of the ACLU's biggest donors.
Yeah, in the media landscape that is certainly showing. Sadly that comes with a set of naivete that fails to hold colleagues to account. Sorry for being so negative about certain professions, but it has reached a level that is hard to entertain and I am not really lacking money myself.

But if the upbringing was that good it should maybe net a better education.
I think they were referring to the "end-buyer" price.

I think what GP missed is that this price is likely going to get baked into the end-buyer price, but not by Amazon.

The reason it's likely not baked by Amazon is because Amazon's fulfillment has costs that don't get recouped until an item is sold. If Amazon moves seller goods back and forth through its warehouses, Amazon might never make the money back on the fulfillment service if the item never sells.

Sellers will wind up conveying this additional charge back into their item's price.
Don't most of the more popular aircraft have STCs that allow them to run on automotive gas?
There's unusable for production (easy; just deleting software or configs would do that for a while!). There's "unusable for extracting information to re-create the tech" which is a bit harder.
No, this is just greed.

Amazon's business model is "skimming off the top." Essentially take x% of whatever. If prices rise due to external factors and Amazon's x% remains identical then their real-term income increase inline with inflation.

This is double-dipping. Prices rise, Amazon makes more, now they want "and 5% more" on top because reasons.

PS - Although this argument only applies to inflation adjustments, not fuel.
Anyone else curious how Musk would handle that Twitter account tweeting about his private jet flights if he owned Twitter? Strange to think that might be the real litmus test of how much he cares about free speech.
The point is that they could have found the issue and seen that it was about to be released. That would be good engineering, bad engineering is when you don't find the root cause of your problem and see if its being worked on
> The situation is even more depressing at lower conversion rates.

Depressing? That is an unnecessary and unfortunate word choice. I would suggest 'pronounced'.

The degree to which interventions can be distinguished is not inherently good or bad. To make such an assessment, context is required.
Thanks. I've heard good things about them, but they were sold out for a long time.

I actually did many days of research into assembling my own KVM. HDMI is surprisingly straightforward but DP is a nightmare of nested standards. Just one example: There is support for running i2c tunneled through another protocol. The biggest issue is the link speeds that a DP1.4 cable runs at. The chips needed to do the switching are expensive and pretty much need to be machine assembled. When you get to those frequencies the trace design and board composition even become a factor.

After all that I don't find the $299+ for a good KVM to actually be that excessive. It's surprising how difficult it is to electronically do "I unplug cable and plug another one in".

I don't even need stuff like display spoofing, etc, since I only use one machine at a time and don't constantly switch, but it was just way too much work to put together. If you only need slower link speeds it's doable.
Turns out, "transitory" actually meant transit costs. Who knew?
Propaganda works, Rupert Murdoch has known it for decades. Keep the people scared and they won't question what you are doing.
The only three things that matter:

- situational thinking / problem analysis (what do you assume, why do you assume it, how do you clarify extremely vague questions)

- culture fit (are you going to get along with everyone else on the team)

- curiosity / willingness to learn / change tracks as the group/company's needs change through time

Everything else is tertiary at best
I think we agree on Twitter generally but I don't really get your examples. I also have the "Minimal Twitter" extension installed, and use Twitter exclusively on desktop so that certainly may color my opinions.

1. Seeing the context is as easy as clicking on the tweet. Tracking multiple threads off the same initial tweet would be nice if it were easier, but I'm not sure the UX would work for something like that (it's not an easy problem).

2. 100% agreed that the bot policing is garbage.

3. I think this is part of the chronological aspect of threads and replies, I'm not sure how you fix this without having an algorithm decide which tweets to show, which has its own host of problems.

4. I only see these when someone I follow retweets it, which is almost always something political. I honestly don't remember the last time I've seen a celebrity tweet, but that might be because of the extension I've installed.
I'm but sure people care enough to add support for segmented architectures to rust.

I mean as far as I can tell you mainly find segmentation in very very old x86 servers.

I'm sure there are still legacy systems like that running, but this is unlikely to have anything to do with rust.

I mean even most Linux distros do no longer support being run on 32 bit arch (through they still tend to support running 32 bit applications on 64 bit arch).
Even if you managed to get it to plan a smarter path, steep terrain usually requires bigger motors, aggressive tires, all-wheel drive, and better suspension. Even my big riding mower becomes useless on a hillsides or small depressions when even the slightest dew or rain slicks up the grass, and I still manage to get it stuck occasionally on the dry days.
Most dash cams have a "parking mode" that records a clip if someone hits your car while it is parked.
It is transitory if you skew the scale out long enough to manipulate the data :)
Oh yeah, Facebook. I think my grandpa used that once.

Don't get me wrong, Facebook can be bad, but I think Facebook was primarily bad at the personal level. It performed adverse psychological experiments on its users and it leaked data. Twitter is I think bad at a large scale because it's created a global shouting match while implementing ridiculous and often unspoken rules for the sake of protecting the establishment.

At least you can sign off of Facebook and never use it again. Twitter, on the other hand, is given such undue power over the flow of information and intercultural sentiment, and news from both the mainstream and the digital outskirts reference it all the time. Whether I have a Twitter account or not, I can't avoid it, because mere tweets make the news constantly. I'd say that Twitter is far more influential than Facebook at this point.

In simple terms, Australia is a relatively young country that formed its own government in 1901. It was also isolated from the rest of the world and has a harsh environment with a lot of things that can kill you. This produced an overall culture of helping each other when you can (what gets called “mateship”), and trust in the government to help when it is needed. Australians generally like an orderly society, that translates to a publically-approved police state.

That's one way of stating the problem, sure.

It's more accurate to say that Ruby has mutable strings as part of its semantics, and that can't be changed, and would interact disastrously with immutability.

Languages with immutable strings simply architect a web server around that semantic, the problem you're describing doesn't happen. A mutable string is replaced with (in Lua) a mutable array containing immutable string fragments, which are made into a string using the builtin table.concat.
