Just because he spends 38% over market price for Twitter doesn't mean that the realizable value of Twitter to anyone but the people who have already sold to him goes up by that 38%, nor, even if it did, does it mean it retains that value once he takes control.
> As an all-cash offer, this generates for the shareholders a substantial return with NO RISK, and so the board has a serious legal obligation to carefully review this offer and make a decision.

What a gut check. I'm sure this is an obvious comment by now, but seeing the board's response to turning down something like this is going to be an olympic level display of mental gymnastics. Exciting times.
Thanks! That'd be a lot more reasonable, it just isn't how the article reads. Is the official announcement somewhere?

(I.e. what you're saying seems to be that for a $100 item that they charged $5 to ship previously, they will now be charging $5.25. Hard to complain about that.)
Why didn't the free market solve this particular problem?

Because consumers don't give a shit. As long as they can still go to Walmart and buy their feed, they don't care.
Seems like an amazing move by Elon. Buy a sizable portion of the business to hold hostage, and then make the company an offer that they essentially can’t refuse because of fiduciary responsibility. If they reject Elon’s offer the stock price will sink like a rock. They pretty much have to take it.
That’s what every corporate raider hostile takeover attempt does. If the board won’t do what the pursuer thinks is best, why would they continue to hold the company?

Cool that tiny models have better performance on some Julia frameworks then on pytorch but till Julia get some framework that allows for seamless multi-gpu training a lot of DL people just wont use it sadly. Its for sure easier to just optimize your small model on device exporting it from pytorch then write your own multi-gpu bridge using Nvidia software to train it :/

China has recently had a lot of really similar rulings. The issue is that filter of western media wouldn't let you hear about those as often as you hear about CCTVs. Did you know their equivalent of the supreme court recently ruled that people can't be filmed in shopping malls (and other public spaces) without their consent?
Yeah, also for small networks that perform well in Julia, there's XNNPACK with AVX2, so I wonder how those 2 compare. But as soon as your network is large enough that execution time exceeds PCIe transfer time, GPUs win in any case.

The Fed's covid policies in terms of interest rates and money printing had a very high impact on the stock market and stocks. Why else would the market have increased to the degree it did during covid?

That is a fundamental reason why it may not see $70 again any time soon.

I think it's just a matter of opinion. I've used both O365 and GSuite extensively at different jobs, and after the initial switch, they are not too different, each has their annoyances, but I don't see a major change in productivity or quality of output between the two.

In my business I like the option of sharing a .docx or .pptx and not having to ask a client to use google docs to view stuff. But when I had google docs, I made it work. I agree with the root comment that MS is much more business oriented though. At the end of the day, Google's "products" are still just a ruse to sell ads, so they don't have the institutional focus on solving business problems that MS has (not that MS is in any way perfect)

More importantly, "defund" is a fringe idea among Black people. This is the important aspect of the point I'm trying to make. Through BLM, progressive activists hijacked the broader call among Black people for police reform to push a fringe idea that Black people themselves didn't support. To do that, they weaponized accusations of racism. The New York Times fired an editor for publishing an Op-Ed by Tom Cotton that advocated doing basically the same thing Larry Hogan did in Baltimore in 2015, which caused his approval rating to skyrocket to over 70% in the majority Black city.

Faced with that, Democrats in 2020 did not treat the idea as "fringe." The put up the BLM signs on their yards and didn't say a word against the activists promoting defund. Aside from Joe Biden, prominent Democrats equivocated when confronted directly: Elizabeth Warren responded to a question about "defund" by saying "it's not the term I would use." That's not how you describe what you think is a "fringe" idea.

It's not the users choosing to share something that's the problem, it's the corporations choosing to collect every bit of data on their users they can without the consent of the users. From the article:

> "But it gets worse. These social media giants are collecting data about every single internet user at an alarming rate, housing it in enormous data storage facilities around the world. Once collected, this information is analyzed, compiled, and sold to any interested parties willing to pay for it. It’s not only your activities in a web browser that are gathered; many smart devices including televisions, smart phones, home automation equipment, and more will passively listen to casual conversation looking for key words and phrases. This data will be correlated with the online profile of the speaker with speech recognition and anything you talk about will be added to a database of your interests. Once complied, this data becomes impossible to track down and remove. A user’s personal data will never disappear from the internet. It will be continually be added to, recompiled, reanalyzed, and sold over and over in order to sell ads in the hope of selling a product. If you sign up for a free service on the web, then you are what is being sold."

I don't think that the argument is that no platforms should be able to moderate. Moderation is a high value activity that is hard to do well.

The argument is that moderation should be done by publishing companies and who face liability for their content. It should not be done poorly, en-mass by platform companies who do it at scale using automation and don't face legal liability when they mess up.

The only exception I see to this is to allow community organized and run moderation for noncommercial communities.
>Value for money, it's probably the most effective $43B anyone has spent in the US.

That seems unlikely. USD$43 billion could buy ~1,150,000 homes[0], which is double the number of homeless people in the US[1].

Getting a 1/2 million people into stable living situations could boost the economy by adding a couple hundred thousand to the work force (it's really hard to hold a decent job if you have no place to store your stuff or take a shower), with the median income for all workers over the age of 15 at ~USD40,000 [2] would add ~US$8,000,000,000 to the economy, as well as reducing dependence on public programs to help support them.

Of course, buying whole houses for half a million people isn't actually necessary. A reasonably sized apartment (based on household size) for each set of homeless folks would cost significantly less than that.

What's more, the children who could be helped by something like this are more likely to have good school experiences and improve their education -- boosting their lifetime earnings potential as well. Not to mention the economic boosts to local communities hit hard by homelessness.

So, no. Buying Twitter isn't anywhere close to the best use of US$43B. In fact, I suspect we could end homelessness in the US for significantly less than that. That seems a lot more useful than a payout to TWTR shareholders and making it one of Musk's vanity hobbies.

My dad did well for himself working in the trades, and being thrifty and saving a lot. He certain out could have, but his philosophy was generally “you cherish what you work hard to buy or build”, and instead of providing money he provided guidance on how to budget, how to save, etc. I received no help with college or house purchase, and I am grateful for it.

As an example, at around 10 years old or so, he sat me down every month to go through budgeting, paying the mortgage, etc. He showed me how to make basic models that showed the benefit of various length mortgages assuming certain house appreciation percentages per year, and showed me the danger and the benefit of leverage.

As an aside, he never finished high school and worked a skilled manual labor job that combined hands on mechanical and basic electrical engineering, and still can’t spell for shit.

Through him I met many people with similar backgrounds, which formed the basis for my worldview of “the trades” being a great option for smart people, college not being the only route, etc.
I would think the copyright holder to the source code (could be the original writer, the NYT, …) would win any case on that.

True, but I'm not too concerned whether Musk loses $43 billion or makes a 9% return on his money. While I don't imagine most people would be happy "losing" ~16% of their net wealth, when you have a quarter of a trillion dollars, I don't know that it makes any difference. Wealth and money mean something different at Musk's scale.

> Define "add value", because otherwise I'm laughing hard at this notion.

I have a NLP/linguistics hobby,and Twitter has been a fantastic gold mine for generating corpora for "low-resource[1]" languages. No other social network is as open as Twitter is to scraping such information, and I have no confidence this will be the case if it's taken private to "unlock value". Hell, I even planned to use a Twitter bot to generate parallel corpora (for translations) since Twitter provides easy and free access to native speakers of almost every language that is currently spoken on this planet.

I'm just a filthy casual, I bet there are hundreds (or thousands) of PhDs and papers that would not have been possible without Twitter; I have no doubt that Twitter adds value to society by virtue of its breadth and openness. Sadly, Twitter is also is detrimental to society, by virtue of its breadth and openness; but I know which side is easier to monetized.

> People don't want mcmansions and flash, they want to publish to the internet quickly and efficiently. The web is a tool for them, a means to an end.

I think for many and probably most people, the web is an entertainment much more so than a tool.

What I said is only condescending if you add a judgment to it, rather than it just being an observation. I think I did that when I said that the architects are "right" about mcmansions and that we're "right" about simplicity. But those are just my own preferences and I really don't begrudge people for having different ones. I think it is more condescending (or perhaps patronizing is a better word) to claim that we know what's better for people, that they'd see that they really prefer simple brutalist software design if only that's what we would give them.

I've just been around long enough to see this evolution from web applications that were very barebones to the current state, and my interpretation of what has happened during this period of time is that we've been following the preferences of most people who use software, as we should.
> Significance is the probability of seeing an effect where no effect exists.

In my experience, the term significance level is more common and clearer.

From Wikipedia:

> More precisely, a study's defined significance level, denoted by α (alpha), is the probability of the study rejecting the null hypothesis, given that the null hypothesis is true; and the p-value of a result, p, is the probability of obtaining a result at least as extreme, given that the null hypothesis is true. The result is statistically significant, by the standards of the study, when p ≤ α.
I think it is fair to assert that if maybe one day it will solve big problems, that it should have solved a little problem already.

Quantum mechanics rapidly gained credibility because once its formalism became established, it was easy to show how classical mechanics came out of it in a limit.
Yes... sorry to imply any particular viewpoint on your part.

Musk's particular talent, in my view, is his ability to manage exponential growth where there's an extremely narrow set of possibly successful outcomes given a set of constraints.

Maybe he sees a way to get twitter back to exponential growth? I don't.

I appreciate your nuance, patience, and civility.
While other comments have discussed the technical utility of symbols, I believe symbols can also be seen as useful syntactic sugar that helps communicate intent. Strings used for indexes. named args, and other structural purposes can be represented in a way that is visually distinct from strings used as text.

The technical benefits are nice, but this type of ergonomic feature is why ruby has remained my favorite language for over a decade.
Is the first or the second the issue?

If it's the first, I can find a TON of lying and misinformation on 'mainstream' sites and institutions. Off the top of my head, I can think of examples in the past year where the NYT and ACLU lied or misrepresented information, for example. There's also a shit ton of information flying around respectable Dem Twitter and Reddit whenever news events happen. Remember how many people thought that the people Kyle Rittenhouse shot were black and tried to stoke racial tensions using that talking point?

So obviously it's not the lying.

So let's talk about 'inciting rebellion.'

Everybody involved in the January 6th riot is a braindead moron. Trump is a braindead moron. And, frankly, if Trump were arrested, I wouldn't lose any sleep over it. That doesn't mean we crack down on speech. It'd be like ordering the USPS to open letters and report people if they plotted their stupid Dollar Store peasant rebellion using paper letters, or tapping everybody's phones.

I'm also exceptionally uncomfortable with the idea that inciting rebellion is inherently bad, as somebody who does believe we should resist tyranny and people have the right to rebel.

They should have been able to talk about how much the government sucks all they want, they crossed the line when they showed up to break into Congress.

> It's only the most extreme views that result in deplatforming; "your view on taxes is different than mine" will never rise to that level, so there's no slippery slope.

Taxes, probably not, but it'll be really interesting to see how union discussions, for example, are handled. Also I could definitely come up with some tax policies that would get me deplatformed from the big spaces. We just haven't dragged taxes into the culture war yet.

It's a matter of principles. If you give people javascript and css they will use it, full stop. The reason why the web has evolved this way is because the people back then were responsible for it.

Shameless plug, but we built EnvKey[1] for exactly this purpose.

Instead of providing secrets directly to a server, you generate an ENVKEY token which is used to fetch and decrypt the app’s secrets/config and supply them as environment variables to the process.

The ENVKEY still needs to be protected, but you can limit which IPs can access it and if access is cut off, the process will be killed and secrets cleared immediately, so you do get some additional protection. All access attempts are also logged.

Free speech doesn't mean being able to say anything one wants on every platform one wants to say it on. There are real free speech issues out there but I don't see how this is one of them.

I see nothing good about some billionaire buying a communication medium millions of people use every day but I'm happy to be told why this is better than Twitter being a public company.

They actually removed the statement that you're quoting from the current version of the Google Drive terms of service. (The old version you're quoting is still available online, but it's under an "/archive" URL.)

That being said, I've read through all the Google Terms of Service online, and I can't actually figure out whether they still use Google Drive content for customized search results.
Prices are sticky and they're betting that their costs will come back down in the future. They don't want to hike prices, ruin their brand and market positioning, just to see things like aluminum prices come back to normal in 6 months and for customers to have moved on.

While other drinks may have hiked prices over the years, I haven't noticed spikes in the price of other soft-drinks over the past few months. Their costs are rising too. I think most companies don't want to alienate their fans over what they're hoping will be transitory cost increases. If Coke hikes prices and people start trying Pepsi, will they come back? If Arizona hikes prices, do they lose the "just a buck" cliff that makes them seem a lot cheaper than anything more than a dollar? Does $1.50 look a lot closer to $2.50 than $1 does to $2? Do people buy a $1.79 Snapple or $1.99 Gold Leaf if Arizona is $1.29 (even if it is still both cheaper and larger)?

Given that they're a private company and the owners are multi-billionaires, it seems reasonably wise to eat some margin over the short-term. It's not like they're struggling and it's not like they have lots of shareholders to appease on a quarter-by-quarter basis. I don't think people expect the cost of aluminum to stay at double long-term and if the Ukraine/Russia war ends, it seems like fuel prices will likely ease (and long-term it seems likely that Europe now has very strong incentive to reduce its dependence on Russian fuel). If costs remain high, they can re-evaluate this decision in 6-18 months while potentially missing out on a small amount of profits.

$43M in increased aluminum costs over a year doesn't seem that much compared to a $4B net worth - especially if you're still making money, just $43M less. If I were them, I'd weigh it out: raise prices and potentially damage the brand long-term and risk a good bit of what the family has built over decades; or keep prices steady, potentially lose out on profits that would make us 1-2% richer, and still be able to re-evaluate this decision in a year. If I had $4B, I'd much rather keep consumer sentiment thinking that I'm the small quirky outsider offering them great value.
Also, I prefer to use the term statistical significance over just significance because it is clearer to a broad audience across fields. From Wikipedia:

> The term significance does not imply importance here, and the term statistical significance is not the same as research significance, theoretical significance, or practical significance. For example, the term clinical significance refers to the practical importance of a treatment effect.
