That's not really true is it? My understanding is that it's actually the smallest of its immediate peers in social media. And perhaps the same in the field of the broader definition of media.

As a separate issue, my personal sentiment on social media, like a number of others I know, is that it has all become a steaming pile of toxic garbage, not unlike the pile of junk mail I dutifully retrieve from my physical mailbox once a month (and even then only so that the mail person has room to add more). My concern on a deal like this is that if that sentiment takes off in the mainstream a property like Twitter could experience a MySpace style collapse overnight.
What this data shows is G Major truly is the "people's key." For those not familiar with music a 12 bar blues uses 3 chords: the so-called I, IV, and V chords (the first, fourth, and fifth chords in the key). In the key of G that would be G (I), C (IV), and D (V). Look at the most popular chords.

Instead of analyzing by chords I would have analyzed by key - what keys do you need? Convention says G Major is the "people's key" and so it makes sense to learn since so many songs use it. The key of A minor is pretty popular, and so is it's relative C major. Throw in E minor (which is G major's relative minor!) and with those 4 keys you can play the bulk of all rock and popular music written over the past 50 years!

I would not be too surprised if the original source of the (probably partiallly tongue-in-cheek) claim was some supplier of ASML (who obviously at the same time is customer of ASML's customers).
Let me add some detail to your comment.

Twitter is a media weapon, and Musk knows this. This is a platform for Musk to push his agenda.

If you think it's overvalued then you should be short the stock. We've seen how that played out for other shorts.

“It turned out that he had had a single casual conversation with representatives of a Saudi sovereign wealth fund in which they did not discuss the price of the deal or how much money the Saudis were willing to invest; ultimately Musk settled fraud charges with the Securities and Exchange Commission over this tweet.”

In this day and age, how do people still fall for this? This isn't the old days where you would get a physical paper statement in the mail every 30 days and rely on your bank to call you for potentially fraudulent purchases.

You have instant access to your financial information. You can easily see "pending" and "posted" charges on your credit accounts without a third party.
Except that's up to the application to behave that way instead of some mysterious heuristic. If the programmer decides that terminating is the appropriate behavior, or is too lazy to do otherwise, then that is on the program. If programs have broken behavior then fix them, otherwise what is the point of all this open source software anyway? I find it incredible that Linux developers are expected to routinely deal with API breakages on library updates but would rather have random processes be terminated because the OS lies about memory than fix the badly behaving software!
Is the SEC upset about Elon’s tweeting or making public statements that happen to occur on Twitter?
Very cool! Is this powered by Marqeta under the hood?
Oh, I'm sorry if I came across that way. I do agree that our first impulse should be to help rather than harm, and that reality is almost always rather complex. I meant that as a comment upon people calling child protective services and the worry of such an occurrence influencing people's behavior. Sometimes, reasonable behavior can be misconstrued and lead to criminal consequences. I didn't mean to dismiss the issue out of hand.

Yup the "that's not what I thought I was downloading" aspect made SourceForge untrustworthy and I was just done with SourceForge and any links to SourceForge at that point.
We plan on rolling out some corresponding banking services this year to help people with multi-currency accounts and international wires - but it would still be under our US charter. No short term plans to go international - there's a lot of ground we need to cover here. We tend to like to go very deep in an area instead of getting to spread thin.

They are largely irrelevant to the rest of the world as a source of news except to see what the government line is and as a pulse taker of Chinese population tolerance to policy. They are a propoganda news source controlled by the Chinese Government for the Chinese population. Large population for sure, and highly impactful to controlling that population but only viable for the CCP.
I object to the idea that they must be platformed by reddit and the like, but they can go ahead and create their own company to host their hateful content. I am in favor of network neutrality.

I don't really care if the saying will have an impact on them. As far as I'm concerned they're unreachable -- at least I have zero chance of convincing them of anything, especially if I can only talk with them in a hate forum.
we rebase all branches on top of the target branch and only allow fast forward merges, which prevents any untested merge commits to cause issues and is really good for reading history. if there are changes to the target branch since the last rebase, there needs to be another rebase triggering automatic CI/CD. if there is a known bottleneck where this would happen a lot to a number of PRs and all the prs are green we rebase the prs on each other in the desired merge order just have to wait for the youngest PR to run through ci/cd and then can fast forward merge all at once.

Yeah, so, worst case it is exactly like Linux. However, at least with Windows properly behaving software isn't being lied to about its allocations.

My understanding is that they can't really enforce this. You can still hold multiple citizenships even if its against the rules.
>he might be forced to stop using twitter

Just like last time.
Yeah, I think adding users post, comments will add too much of friction to the app. I'm trying to build a social media on Polygon chain but haven't figured out do I store the content on chain or not.
If you can point to a single investigative journalism story / series similar in scope and detail to Top Secret America published in the WaPo since Besos acquired it, then I will recant my opinion.

Your advise came late... WWIII is already started few years ago, only most still haven't noticed. And yes large part of it was born out of corporate interest and their pernicious mix with the public.

You fail to spot the real enemy though: it's not a WWIII between Russia, China and USA/UK. It's a war between a little oligarchy and the rest of the humanity. War between USA/UK +submissive allies and Russia is just a war between two oligarch cohort, war for Taiwan and south Pacific in general (perhaps Solomon and Chagos Islands (see Diego Garcia) just toward the Philippines will probably follow again for more practical purposes like the China desperate need for food vs the USA/UK desperate struggle to keep dominance of the seas. Those wars though are not much WW wars, they are just some big&powerful confronts to remain in power/increase it. The real global war is the classic élites vs the people. Time since first nazi-fascism series against socialism is enough to restart a new nazi-fascist era and that's precisely what happen now.
Agree. But I wonder how much innovation a single company can do. The digital innovation in the UK across banking is massive. From what I see, light years ahead of the US.
>I would spend 15% of my net worth on free speech. Wouldn't you?

I totally believe that you would do that, I don't believe that Musk would do that, a guy so petty he once cancelled someone's Tesla order after he dared to make a 'rude post' on the internet, with an interesting justification about the nature of private businesses' ability to discriminate:

I retract my comment that US gov owns Twitter. It's not that, it's way way worse. I had an incorrect assumption.
Me too. They are aping the Rams look as well as Ive/Apple did at their best, and now Apple doesn't do it any longer.
I think it's all about what features you are using, and how much you want to BYOC (Bring Your Own Code).

Infrastructure as code is something you can do on smaller deployment environments as well, even in air-gapped environments.

The benefit of AWS, for me, is the reliability and all the capabilities that work out of the box that aren't differentiators for my solution (so it's great that I can offload them to someone else, if security, etc. allows).

I agree that it's a good idea to have a layer of abstraction so you can use other service providers, even though you may take a bit of a performance hit for doing so.
Mackie, Zoom, and Allen & Heath have mixers for 300ish buck, with 10ish inputs and are fairly featurefull.

I wouldn't count on the interface doing everything you dream of, even if it seems like it can based on specs. I owned the allen & heath, but traded it for the mackie one. It's okay, but there's a few annoyances.

Keep in mind that the FX send will also require a return (may sound obvious, but it's not to everyone), therefore, it will consume an input; they basically never have a dedicated return (it's pretty much pointless).

The FX send itself might not be really necessary, but I don't know enough to say for sure. I think they could just label it AUX, and that any auxiliary, or monitor send can work for FX... I'm not sure. I've used them before and the FX to monitor / sample.
How would you describe your business to a five year old?
This is more than just the 7.1 release.
I think it's interesting to summarize this thread as:

- Government can't offer competitive pay due to politics.

- Government contracts big projects to 3rd parties who pay competitively, but lack the transparency that government is required to have.

In a way it would seem to be that government contractor organizations are acting as an abstraction, and are in essence a way of government allocating funds without needing to provide the transparency and accountability of doing things in house.

In essence, if you follow this line --> contractors are basically government. (i.e. Working for SpaceX is basically working for government without the page/scale political challenges of getting stuff done, SpaceX is more or less funded by Gov)

Perhaps things are working how they should.
Nope! We're a bank not an issuing processor (its pretty confusing...), we don't wrap any vendors or 3rd parties. However, they're an excellent issuing processor so a bunch of our customers use them and us together.
Well at least if they're in the US they're exercising their constitutional right to bear arms

Untill the hawk population recovers
Ted Stevens had a more accurate view of how the internet works than 95% of the people I talk to. What's the correction? It's not a "series of tubes" it's acshully a "series of pipes"? It's a bunch of mailboxes and parcels being delivered to them?

The attacks on Stephens for this were entirely political and unfair. He certainly was awful, but the ante-twitter mob that converged on him led by late night comedians were computer illiterates parroting what they heard.

The reason he said it that way is because he was an old corrupt coot who had net neutrality explained to him in very simple terms by lobbyists and PR flacks trying (successfully) to stop it. The reason he was taunted over it was because of a strategy come up with by the opposing PR flacks, probably gathered around the same brand of whiteboard.
I suspect Elon wants Twitter data to train an AI/GPT-3. Also if you look at how he uses Twitter, he believes in the tweet resonance idea of being able to signal certain group or individuals with memes. He thinks that may be a key element in the future of human collective consciousness.

Nowhere near as Wired-friendly as this, but as portable mixers go, Zoom's Livetrak series is where it's at IMHO.
Yes, social media has become toxic but a lot of people use it to get their news and information.

Twitter is a great way for Musk to get into social media without having to get users and build the infrastructure. He can compete at a worldwide level with Facebook on day one.
I hesitate to speculate on what Musk will do specifically, but often in a poison pill situation a tender offer will be contingent on the removal of the poison pill. The point of the tender offer is not to buy the shares immediately, but to incentivize shareholders to put pressure on the board to remove the poison pill, then complete the tender offer it's removed.
This is very cool! I have a question, I looked at the source code, and it seems to be based on Sliding Windowed Fourier Transform. Is it able to handle any instruments and chords, what about multiple instruments?

I'm unfamiliar with this area, but I'm very interested in it. Based on my previous readings, it seems to be very challenging to recognize chords. But this demo seems to work very well. I wonder if it has any limitations. Thanks.
The lawyers thought about that the day poison pills were invented. It's in the very first lines of the shareholder rights agreement.

> Sadly, a few of my friends (not Instagram friends, actual people that I see IRL) have been physically assaulted for being gay or trans in Canada for fuck's sake, rural and urban; one is paralyzed below the neck because he got stabbed for being gay.

The people who I follow on Instagram that are openly gay on their profiles are also real people I have met many times in the UAE. These aren’t instagram friends, their profiles were just relevant in response to you bringing up social media profiles.

UAE is probably one of the least likely places in the world where you might be assaulted for being gay or trans. The government cares about optics more than anything, and would come down hard on anyone doing something like that.

> What happens if I stray outside of an unmarked tourist zone, maybe pop over to a random market and a cop doesn't like the look of me?

Nothing, UAE cops are nothing like Western cops. They’re paid very well and would rather avoid creating unnecessary trouble in their lives.

If you’re white, it’s extraordinarily unlikely that you’d end up having a negative interaction with UAE law enforcement unless you go out of your way to make powerful enemies.

I’m not saying UAE is great, I’m not saying it’s not a terribly corrupt place that can turn incredibly nasty sometimes. I’m just saying it’s a perfectly safe place for gay westerners.
I don't think this applies to naturalization. If you're born with the qualifications for citizenship in each, then you are a citizen of both. Apart from being born that way, you may not be able to hold either one or the other, on naturalization.

I tend to agree. There's some value in having a real person to talk to, but it really depends on the person. PC people are generally just going to walking you through whatever the algorithm is implementing anyway, and... I just didn't see enough value in it. That said, I've lost plenty trying 'my own thing' on single stocks, but ... I pretty much knew it was a gamble. Majority of value is in a handful of basic ETFs and mutual funds with low expense ratios (< .10% overall, IIRC), so... there's not too much advantage in having someone else do the same thing for me (or really, for most people, imo).
I have no illusions about how well-managed Twitter has been up to this point, but it is bitterly ironic that the narrow, libertarian-adjacent argument that goes something like "they're a private enterprise, they can ban whoever they want, free speech has nothing to do with it" is being tested. What happens when a giant, unaccountable communication monolith is run by a guy you don't like?

I can't stand the man, and I dislike the idea of him owning Twitter. Who knows what's going to happen, whether he'll succeed or not, Maybe he'll put his money where his mouth is re censorship, I don't know, but that there will be an ideological changing of the guard is inevitable, imo. What then? Do we really want these platforms to have so much unaccountable control over the discourse?
Sure, but don't get hung up on the $100B number. The overall point being made is that FAANG is seen as a rock of stability compared to crypto and yet has experienced massive price change over a relatively short amount of time. The point of mentioning the market cap is that you'd expect volatility to be very low. Just shows you that the stability is not quite as stable as previously assumed.
The problem is that those ideas spread because it’s not in most peoples best interest to challenge them intellectually. It’s in their self interest to promote that material because it feels good emotionally.
No questions. Just wanted to say I got chills when I looked at this at how much potential it had. Very cool.

Does the job pay high six figures? If not, will pass
Yes, and it's a special weapon such that the more successful one operates it, the more revenue ot generates. A lot better than say missiles for a non violent option.
It's also possible that Twitter could easily make money and the company is intentionally avoiding that, for tax purposes or whatever.

If you are holding yourself out as a growth company but also paying dividends, it creates a mixed message, because if you are growing shouldn't the money be better spent on growth than just giving it back to the shareholders?
Actually, if you know what you are talking about, this filing actually shows Elon is about 21 billion dollars short. This is because 21 billion dollars of the commitment is coming from him and not from any financial institution. He is a very rich man but almost his entire wealth is tied up in tesla shares which he cannot sell in such large amounts and ownership of spacex which is even harder to sell.

If he tries to sell 21 billion dollars worth of tesla shares, the share price will collapse.

So no, once again he does not have funding secured. And once again he is trying to bullshit his way around the issue, although this time the bullshitting is a little more sophisticated.

It is still possible that he tries to sell a lot of tesla shares to get the cash to buy twitter, but it is unlikely.
The poison pill is fighting off a hostile takeover, by someone who has offered a first-and-final-offer. It would be screwing the other investors to have zero negotiations for a better deal.
Citizenship is allegiance. Even if the moral doesn't align with the reality anymore, it still is considered to.
You post things outrageous enough, believe me, a significant following will raise up around it.

I think we're all about to witness the tragedy of the commons in real time if Musk buys twitter. Because there are literally thousands of people in college towns alone all across the US who will descend on Twitter and do this. Probably millions outside of college towns who will do the same. it's too bad.

My bet is we'll end up filing this under "This is why we can't have nice things".
Must be nice to be a parasite
I love my yaupon holly trees. They draw so many cool perching birds into my yard to feast on the berries.
It's been settled corporate law for decades, and it serves a clear purpose: without poison pills, hostile buyers can also do blatantly unethical things, like coercive lowball bids that punish shareholders that don't tag along.
Talk to all the engineers who have worked there recently, where possible. Figure out how bad the tech debt is. Chances are it's pretty damn bad.

Then figure out expectations for your role. Chances are it's pretty damn high.

Then check if you can meet it. And from there you can figure out compensation and culture and all.

Welcome to InQTel
An Interview with Keith Preston (2017)
If you recognize something is a weapon, you will want to prevent it being used against you, AND potentially want to use it yourself against someone else. They usually go together but not always. You could want people to not have guns without yourself wanting a gun, for example, but still feel "if there's a gun, I want it to be in my control."
