> That must explain why numerous right wing media outlets also chose not to cover it (Fox, WSJ, others). No, it's because every other outlet has a standard, which is that they need to be able to independently confirm a story and not shout every random rumor they hear.

The whole laptop story has hearsay from one random technician. There was very little evidence to backup any of it. The files may have been real, but they very well could have stolen by a foreign entity (Russia), and given to this random technician as a way to make it look not stolen. By spreading it, they would have been helping Russia influence our elections, again.
Code reviews are incredibly valuable, and are a crucial part of software development at all of tech companies. I would argue that if you aren't doing code review, then you're saying that you believe you and all your company's engineers are better than the engineers at Google, Apple, Mozilla, Microsoft, Oracle, ....
That is insane. Was never a holder of $TWTR and never will be given these insane bylaws which allow the board to issue preferred stock without any accountability.
I do agree with the Twitter thread that there is a generation gap. Those who remember the internet from quarter of a century ago weren’t treated like children. Even children.

In the past 25 something years, young adults have regressed to looking for approval by authorities and PTBs because of their infantalisation at school and then college and then at work.

No adult wants to adult anymore. Because their every need is being catered to by some kind of corporate power, they don’t even know that they are free to let go of the teat.

I find all of this horrifying and depressing and infuriating. If one hasn’t had any agency in their adult life, how will
one know when to shut up and when to protest.

The cancel culture is the product of the state run education system…it is the utter helplessness and impotency of entire generations who had never had to make an independent evaluation or decision or judgement call.

There is no redemption for this current generation and I dont see how the future generations can be rescued from this dismal fate. This also seems to be an uniquely American problem…Altho sadly it’s spreading to other parts of the world..mostly because of the internet and social media.

Literally..who can be against free speech with a straight face? America‘s young generation..it looks like. The country has officially self destructed on the very values it stood for..very sad.
I guess you're talking about Faber Castell gripmatic.

Problem is they are plastic and the brand and model fades after using it heavily, which makes hard to guess which @#$! lead size you need (I use Staedler leads because the case has feeding mechanism that feeds the lead into the pencil without having to touch the leads with your hand.

Quantum Hall effect > Photonic quantum Hall effect:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_Hall_effect

> The quantum Hall effect, in addition to being observed in two-dimensional electron systems, can be observed in photons. Photons do not possess inherent electric charge, but through the manipulation of discrete optical resonators and coupling phases or on-site phases, an artificial magnetic field can be created. [17][18][19][20][21] This process can be expressed through a metaphor of photons bouncing between multiple mirrors. By shooting the light across multiple mirrors, the photons are routed and gain additional phase proportional to their angular momentum. This creates an effect like they are in a magnetic field.

The Hall effect article describes how Superposition states can be prepared with the Hall effect.

So, in crystal lattices, is there less noise due to scattering?
My company has an initiative to bring in students for a 3 day event where they attend workshops and talks.

We were brainstorming what type of content would make fun and educational workshops for students. I proposed something along OPs lines. I called them "debugging minichallenges". The idea is to present students with a buggy implementation for a simple problem, and they need to find and fix the bugs. Just as OPs argues, the concept is that reading and understanding code is a fundamental skill.

I have the set of sample implementations in my Github, for example the one in Python [1]. This is our first time running this workshop so I can report how well it did after the event.

I get that there are specific use cases that preclude M1 as a choice, I even noted that by saying "without specific needs in my post.

>so I don't understand why everyone on HN wants to crucify you for using X86 instead of M1.

No one's "crucifying" anyone, nor "insisting you're wrong for choosing X86".

People are just (rightly) impressed & excited by M1's efficiency/performance/battery life - for many that's a highly desirable set of traits in a laptop, so it's easy to recommend. Sorry this seems to offend you.
I don't mind there being some amount of time between hired and eligible to switch jobs without restriction. Investigations take some amount of time.

However, the time delay should be short. 12 months would be pretty close to ideal--24 months at worst. And the company should bear ALL the costs and deadlines of the required background checks and clearances. If they have to hire special investigators to get it all done--so be it--they wanted the candidate, after all.

And, if the proper investigations don't get done, the company CEO goes to jail with a felony. None of this "token business fine" garbage.
I'm on page 4 and I don't know how the target audience doesn't just highlight the whole book
They’re likely downvoting my somewhat dubious claim of being able to singlehandedly make a big dent in crypto spam tweets.

I appreciate your gesture, but I don’t mind the downvotes. Bold claims warrant skepticism. And talking about votes makes the conversation less interesting for the audience.

But you’re right to point out that the problem isn’t nearly as intractable as it seems. There are many ways to deter crypto spammers.

Think of it this way: suppose Twitter’s stock price was inversely proportional to the amount of crypto spam (without accidentally removing genuine tweets). Does anyone believe the stock price would go down?

It’s why I suspect Twitter simply hasn’t made it a priority.
Crap. This topic just reminded me that I haven't done my taxes yet. I wish I was kidding.

Glenn Greenwald believed in the story, and was later proven right. I don't blame other media outlets for waiting for additional confirmation, but I do blame Twitter for inventing a totally new policy for censoring this one story. In a case like this, where some journalists believe in a story and others don't, but neither side has won the debate (yet), the story should be published and discussed. That's the policy they take with literally every other news story, including many dubious ones that are later discredited.

I guess I can't prove this part, but I'm pretty sure Twitter would have taken the opposite stance if, say, CNN had found Trump Jr's laptop.

Regarding your claim that the story is not a big deal, you as a voter are entitled to decide that for yourself. However, a majority of likely voters disagree with you. A Rasmussen poll found that 48% of likely voters consider the story "very important" and another 18% consider it "important."[1] Rasmussen is considered a grade-B pollster by FiveThirtyEight, so their data can be trusted.

I think they all came out of the woodwork after the last article.
I don't know how to specify it, but it would surely be popular:

oops
You don’t.

Restoring a backup is rare. If this happens to restore a deleted data, the deletion request is part of the lost data. Trying to work around this with a separate delete request log doesn’t solve the problem, it just shrinks the loophole. But if you are restoring often enough for this to draw the ire of regulators you probably have much bigger problems.

Of course I’m just giving you the technical truth straight up. The other part of this is you would never say it so directly to a regulator or auditor. Work with your compliance team to get the messaging right.
I suspect you'll find that two of those numbers are decided by committee, one by a human, and the other by the build system.

No one's forcing you to write everything on Twitter in 40 tweets. He could have written a blog post and tweeted it.
Eh...you won't find a nicer guy than Charles Murray, or less of a Stormfront nazi than Curtis Yarvin, but both are basically unmentionable. In both cases no one objects to their presentation, but to their (alleged) material.

I'd challenge the idea it's been morphed or magnified. It's the exact same nonsense.
Repeatedly, with a background of stock manipulation, yes.
Yes, and Youtube and Facebook both have similar problems. There is survivalship bias at play here, you do see the bots that manage to get past the spam protection, but never see the ones that don't. For all you know, Twitter could be blocking 99% of the spam. Of course, as long as there's money in it (and there is), spammers will constantly be coming up with new and unexpected ways to bypass your systems. It's a neverending battle, and if you think it's trivial, you are the one understating how hard the problem is.

I never claimed Tesla self-driving wasn't an achievement, but clearly they underestimated how hard that would be themselves, so I wouldn't be surprised if they'd do the same for content moderation.
No, only the yield and stop signs, and the right of way sign (diamond shaped) have unique shapes. Oh wait, the one way sign too, being a long rectangle. Other signs are shaped according to group: Warning signs are triangular, tip up, signs forbidding or mandating something are round (distinguished by color), and informational signs are rectangular. And one interesting case is the do not enter sign, which is usually curved. That makes it more obvious to someone looking for a turn, but also you can recognize it from behind so you know to go in the far left lane if you plan to make a left turn.
The nice thing about DDG is that if you're willing to sacrifice some functionality it can still be used without JS at all (which is how I use it)
I would not use trunk based development as indicator of mature team.

As you write there is much more to it and one can only see through it after joining company.

For me trunk based development alone would be indicator that company is immature and does not even know they can have a process.

I agree that these pencils are "overengineered" in that they are multiple times more complex and expensive than their simpler counterparts while offering relatively little improvement in function, but if you use a pencil every day I think that increase in cost is more than worth it.

I, for one, have loved my Kuru Toga pencil (the rotating lead one) since the day I got it a few years ago.

This is a solved problem, since many jurisdictions outside the US already have implemented land taxes. For example, in New South Wales (Sydney), Australia, the tax-free threshold is $550k and you pay land tax only for the portion in excess, with a higher tier kicking in at $3.3M.

Yes, it exists. Remember when Trump called for the cancellation of Kaepernick? The treatment that whistleblowers get? Freedom fries? Cancel culture is a deeply embedded component of US society.
6. My favorite prediction. Twitter continues to ignore any of Musk's offers. Musk sells his 9% stake. Price goes down. Continues to go down since Twitter('s mgt) is full of shit. Elon gets in an offer when price is languishing at low $30's. Twitter has no choice but to take Elon's offer.
Popper that formulated the paradox of tolerance was a marxist and invented the paradox of tolerance as an argument based upon victimology (pathos) for why Marxists need to pre-censor people that disagree with them. It’s a dangerous path, especially as Marxists are pathos driven not logos so you don’t need a logical argument before censoring. You just need a pathos statement by a Marxist that they felt victimized by your words, and voila … gulags.

The reason why this is so important for Marxists is that it’s a gnostic end times theology that believe the human collective will manifest Marxist utopia if all alive have gnostic Marxist knowledge, as they believe the Marxists as Gods would create utopia. This is why you hear communists say “communism has not been tried”, as some people alive did not have communist gnostic knowledge

I don't want people living in San Francisco voting on my small Midwestern town's policies or elections just because they might hypothetically choose to live here one day.

Likewise, I don't want non-Americans living in Europe or elsewhere voting in state or federal elections because they might someday choose to become American citizens.

In both cases, those people might vote then end up never following through on their half of the commitment.
Does anyone know why the example went with a macro string “RESPONSE” rather than a char array or pointer?
No, I definitely didn't miss that part.

If there's a wide bikeable shoulder, you could go side by side and still not interfere with traffic.

If there's a narrow bikeable shoulder, you're forced into single file in it, in most cases.

If there's no bikeable shoulder, then you're taking up the lane no matter what, and then those rules say nothing against being side by side except while being passed.

The rule is not "go single file". The rule is "stay out of the lane when you can".
My favorite post I've seen about this whole thing is something like "Elon Musk desperately wants to be Lowtax and also want him to be Lowtax" and that got a good chuckle out of me.

I don't care about Musk or Twitter but I'm glad that somebody made a good joke out of this debacle.

Ok but the argument is that the people who don't need that bit of guidance are probably better hires than those who do need guidance.
“Invested” or “paid contractors exorbitant amounts” to do those things the American public (average person not corporate imperial America) would see no benefit from?
When hiring at scale we value consistency so this wouldn't work well. However in my company we started an initiative called "candidate experience". In one of the interviews we allocate some time for the candidate to "flex" as you put it. We ask open ended questions such as "what is your proudest achievement?" or "is there anything you wanted to tell us but didn't had a chance to?". These questions are not used to evaluate the candidate and often are no even recorded, and gives a chance for the candidate to relax and put forward their best self.

The section on marijuana is particularly interesting. You are apparently allowed to deduct ordinary business expenses, even if the business in question is illegal. However, Congress has explicitly disallowed these deductions in the case of illegal drug trafficking. Since marijuana is illegal federally, the courts have ruled that medical and recreational marijuana businesses that are legal under state law may not deduct any of their ordinary business expenses from their federal taxes.

As long as it's voluntary, it should remain a tool for those who choose to use it.

I don't like the idea of court compelled psychiatric or addiction treatment possibly putting people in situations where they might have to take it or otherwise be considered non-compliant to the courts.

The Marchman Act in Florida is particularly worrying in that aspect, as it doesn't require someone to have committed a crime at all to be involuntarily ordered into rehab, and non-compliance can mean being in contempt of court.

It's cliche, but it reminds me a little too much of the Ludovico technique.

President is a federal election, run by the individual states. Congressional members are likewise state run elections, but only affect the members assigned by each state. It's a nonsensical comparison.
The attacker got _write_ access to all of these repositories as well? That's extremely worrying. I hope github or someone will be able to track down if any code changes were made.

This is the literal point of the LVT: to make it more expensive to hold land unused for speculative purposes, and thus incentivize doing something productive with it instead.
You’re the one suggesting cyclists can safely go the wrong way down a one-way.

Maybe in other countries, but that’s a no-no in the US.

I joined AWS in September. I've heard about problems that some other teams have had, but in the six months I've been on my current team, I haven't seen any such issues.

I keep waiting for that shoe to drop, and so far it hasn't.

We recently had an off-site meeting for everyone in the organization under our L10, and I now feel so much better about where we are going and how we are going to get there. I didn't realize how much pent up angst I had until the end of the first day of the off-site, and I felt like a huge weight had been taken off my shoulders, and that I had finally seen the light.

That said, my history with employers is that everything can be perfect and great up to a certain point, and then there is a sudden change. In the past, that change has usually been because of a change in leadership somewhere, possibly just down at the level of the new manager hired right above me.

After that change, what was one of the best places I've ever worked suddenly becomes one of the worst. I've seen this happen time after time at virtually every single employer I've had since 1989. I can count on one hand the number of times where this didn't happen.

So, I will continue to keep an eye out for that dropping shoe. But I will also continue to enjoy working on this team, with these people, and this leadership.

And with any luck, we will be able to successfully change the world for the better.
Yes, "everything is a reference type" describes better what I was thinking. And also, "functions are classes, not objects".
The fundamental assumption of LVT is that society should be the owner of the land - i.e. that the land is commons. Government can be a manager of that land, but it only has such powers because the shareholders (everyone) vest that power in it.

The basis for this assertion is that land supply is fundamentally very scarce, so this is zero-sum game. If some have too much, others have little, and the former can extract substantial economic rent from the latter.
Economically advantageous sprawl, though---or it would have to be, to meet the owner's goals of not being a financial burden.

I think the idea is that in that situation the owner sells, though.

Don't worry, you see the same thing in ultra liberal areas as well. All the plans for "improvement" turn into gentrification that pushes out the current residents, with a tiny allotment of subsidized units that current residents don't qualify for either.
