It's a certain type of pun. Not all puns are dad jokes. Dad jokes are viewed negatively because they tend to be one-beat, shallow puns. Ones that could be understood by a six-year-old, so when your dad is still telling them when you're ten years old (or twenty), you roll your eyes.
Definitely! There's a fun YA trilogy by Kenneth Oppel called Airborne that takes place in an alternate-history midcentury where heavier-than-air flight has never been invented and people cross the ocean in giant airships.

He also invents some other stuff like the gas "hydrium" (non-flammable, much more bouyant than hydrogen) as a plot element, and that also helps sell the overall practicality of airship travel. But yeah, it's a good read-aloud to kids or even just a quick one for yourself, similar to something like the Hunger Games.
From my understanding, the board has no (direct) say in this. He's asking the shareholders - i.e. anyone who owns Twitter stock - to sell to him for that price until he has the required majority. All the board can do is put up measures to make this hard (like the poison pill thing).
Right. Some of that is for CPU cost, but for sure a big chunk of that is power/heat.
Any idea why it is a separate package when its in the release notes?
>Just in my experience using it and noticing how the packaging is done and applied to the system, I have more trust in rpm/dnf to do things properly compared to deb/apt.

Like I've kind of looked into packaging an app into a .deb before and it's rather convoluted. I never did understand why nobody has worked toward fixing these.

>Many times I've had apt repos stop working or deb installs doing weird things and leaving the system in some weird state. I've had none of these issues with rpm/dnf.

I have on both sides. Apt repos often break in annoying ways.

I still to this day don't know the difference between Centos baseos, universe, extra, elrepo, and epel. Now there's streams and next. I just don't seem to care to learn.

Anyway, I thought maybe you meant dnf had some sort of new advantage and why it's better than yum for example.
For the project/mission: No specific comment. Good luck with whatever you are trying to do.

For the site: I get the design choice to try and draw inspiration/influence from apple.com but this instead comes across as almost like a phishing site. I recommend finding a healthier balance.

Twitter devs - dumb and lazy

Elon musk - smart and crazy

This is all you or Morgan Stanley need to know, besides Elon claiming he doesn't care if the venture makes money.
That is a serious amount of debt financing and going into margin. This is significant risk for an asset that is unlikely to get significantly better in value. I wonder how much a collapse in Tesla stock would trigger a margin call.
I'm certainly open for suprises.

There may be subjective value, but there is also fraud and exploitation. Calling it out is not wrong. I would be very interested in a16z honestly writing about the actual problems in this industry, how are they combatting them, but hype is the only language they know. They pretend that NFTs or games with token economies are utopias, because an utopia is easy to sell. They are very far from an utopia, in fact a lot of nasty things are going on with them.
You are intentionally being obtuse and abrasive, please reconsider.
What used to happen before there were poison pills, was a corporate raider would say "I want to buy this company, and I offer 100$ per share. If not everybody agrees to sell to me, but I get more the 50% of shares I will replace the board and then offer a merger in which 30$ per share are offered. The board (which I just instituted) will agree to my offer." That means after a raider has the majority of shares he can stiff the remaining minority shareholders. Of course people knew this on the initial offer and were therefore pressured to accept it or risk losing a lot of money later. I assume you agree that making this possible is not in the interest of sharedholders (or companies), although it made some people very wealthy back in the days. The Delaware Supreme Court considered, that such an extreme threat to shareholders justified extreme countermeasures such as the poison pill.
(All of the above just tries to paraphrase Matt Levine, which I can really recommend if one wants to understand such things.)
Precisely, that's the whole point of my original reply. That enforcement is not practical, and eBikes make the problem even worse by adding motorized things to the equation.
A fleet of xserves?

Those beasts were a weird one. I’d like to get ones and pull its guts out and make it a bit more useful. The roar, the heat, the size and the age make them a little home-unfriendly.
GDB support inside Gramine's SGX enclaves
Related to Listerine: I have a memory of reading a study that had people use mouthwash (possibly Listerine) the night before taking a cognitive test. The mouthwash group did worse than the control group for some reason.

I'd really love to find the study again if anyone else knows where it is (my googling is apparently not good enough)
As a shareholder, Musk multiplied my money by 20x

Even though I'm obviously so much smarter than him on matter of acquiring public companies, I'll graciously allow him to do whatever he pleases as long as he continues growing Tesla at 50% compounded rate.

Which he did this quarter, and the one before that and the one before that.

I'll be concerned when that stops happening. Until then I give him my blessing to do whatever he pleases with HIS money.
Newer chips are also more energy efficient (at least, at the same level of performance).
> Oh, and a simple similarity search versus the entire web, to mark patents as invalid due to prior art or obviousness.

Former USPTO patent examiner here. Patent similarity search doesn't work that well at present. Even when there is a perfect 102 reference (the best sort of prior art reference; the reference shows exactly what is claimed) in the patent literature [0], frequently none of the 3 similarity-based search engines I'd try [1] would return that reference. There are many reasons for this. In my previous area (water heaters and ventilation, mostly), a lot of the issue was because the software would only look at the text (and citations) and the drawings really did provide a lot of critical details that aren't easy to express in text. (I already would check the provided citations so the AI checking the citations is not a value-add in my opinion.)

Patent searching is not anywhere near as easy as many people here seem to think! That's particularly true when the examiner has a very limited amount of time to search, which is every time.

[0] Yes, searching the entire web in addition to patents would be better. But it's already clear that the software often doesn't return the best references from the patent databases it does search, so I'm skeptical that moving to the entire web would make that much of a difference.

[1] IP.com (can work on unpublished applications), Dialog Foreign Patent Finder (can work on unpublished applications), Google Patents (if the application was already published). Each of these seem to be roughly as good as each other. For a while I'd also try the USPTO's home-grown PLUS system from the early 00s, which returned mostly irrelevant documents.
"I believe only one was lost in combat."

I think that means that we lost more to weather than combat, which was their downfall.
> My fear is that Musk’s endgame is to reinstate a specific account that was banned after some specific events around a specific election.

Why would he pay 50 billion for that? What does he gain from it? Goodwill? Leverage on Trump in case the latter becomes President again?
>They often lack any form of sRGB clamp

And the ones that don't almost universally lock you out of all other color settings when enabling it, often even including brightness. It's ridiculous.

Also, thanks for the shoutout :)
I don’t know why you feel an urge to be dismissive or insulting about the government issuing securities. Or why some money up front is necessarily better than more money later, which surely is the whole point of equity in the private sector.

I’ll grant you that dusty old war bonds are unlikely to get strapping young devs very excited, but I’m sure that they can come up with a higher risk, higher reward financial instrument with some imagination.
The pandemic and its effects showed that the cost benefits of globalization are beaten by the national security benefits of onshoring.

That doesn't seem like the way to put it. What you seem to mean is "the pandemic showed serious downsides to globalization and I imagine onshoring would work better".

The thing is, the pandemic indeed showed downsides to globalization, financialization and extreme capitalization of industries (though with chip manufacture, that's hard to avoid). But a significant part of this involves companies having no interest in abandoning or modifying their approaches even when it had horrible consequences - because usually it didn't having horrible consequences for the company in particular. Hospitals still only entered into multi-year supply contracts with factories even if, in the case of PPEs, it their workers and patients were dying of covid, 'cause emergency acquisition sets a bad precedent. Etc.

States could ameliorate some of these problems with simple regulations but that didn't happen and seems unlikely now 'cause profits matter.

I can imagine some gestures to onshoring 'cause that's extra money that can thrown at companies but it seems pretty certain the mechanisms of "globalization" will continue.
Virtually identical story of the scam with ApplePay was here 3 weeks ago. The victim was a scam prevention expert:

This is a misleading and, frankly, rather disgusting analogy.

The sovereignty of an individual, especially over one’s own body, and the sovereignty of a nation are not even near equivalents.

And yes, I know that at this time the sovereignty of individual Ukrainians, men and women, is being horribly violated. But this did not need to happen even if the sovereignty of the nation itself was violated. It’s a separate matter for which Russians, especially individual soldiers and their commanders, bear direct blame for. They could have chosen another, less disgusting, far less inhumane means to gain control of Ukraine.

As well, despite the clear propaganda behind it, Russia can at least claim that they felt threatened by Ukraine’s chummy relationship with the narcissistic and occasionally-aggressive Uncle Sam. This entirely breaks your analogy as rape is never a defensive maneuver no matter how one might twist it.

Correct, but journalists, politicians and companies do, which is all it needs. Twitter has been way more influential than it deserves to be for a while now.
Using it several years ago, to me it sure seemed like a reference implementation of an MDM. It just lacked the robustness and flexibility that'd be required pretty quickly once you scale beyond a dozen or two devices.
It's a bit tangential, but the role of small disposable drones in warfare will only increase in the coming years. They're one of the more terrifying (non-WMD) weapons in terms of capabilities in my mind.
This is the future nationally. We have a nationwide shortage of police officers that will only get worse. Surveillance is the only way that we can mitigate this problem.
Just ran into an issue today that could have been solved elegantly with more granular access controls. Had I been able to selectively unmask a portion of a given data element I would already be on my way to issue resolution instead of sourcing an already overburdened dev resource with permissions to work with unmasked data.
Oh ya right on. I was looking at tiling stuff gave a few of these a try.

I actually ended up with POP OS which has a much much easier tiling manager.
They don't really have to recant it, just delete it. It's a pretty mean tweet anyway, not sure why its worth defending
My memory of the hosted Outlook/Exchange landscape of that time is much more negative. It was expensive, had inconsistent or costly support for ActiveSync devices, had no integration or federation with existing on-premise Active Directory solutions, management consoles of shared/hosted Exchange providers were difficult to administer. Broadband was much more limited, so remotely-hosted mailboxes were a hassle.
Thanks, I assumed that's what it meant. It's not terribly common, but there are a few packages using this naming convention: aircrack-ng, bwm-ng, crosstool-ng, libcap-ng, lincity-ng, minizip-ng, proxychains-ng, raxml-ng, recon-ng, stress-ng, zlib-ng, macfusion-ng, shadowsocksx-ng
> this happening in any mainstream OS would be unacceptable, since many simply wouldn't know how to change the setting, or wouldn't even be aware that there's a setting to change in the first place.

Last year I tried to run FreeBSD on a HP DL380 G7 (old-ish enterprise server). After install, all the fans were spinning at ludicrous speeds. Funny thing about these HP servers; the fans will spin like this if you put non-HP hardware components in them. I don't have non-HP components, so I never had the fan issue prior to FreeBSD. But because the issue was so common, searching the web kept turning up crazy solutions using resistors and such. I gave up and put Alpine Linux on there instead. Alpine worked great.

Months later, I went back and tried FreeBSD again. This time I had stumbled across a FreeBSD specific fix for the fan: sysctl hw.acpi.cpu.cx_lowest=C3

That was it; a C state setting. I had to learn about C states, powerd and Intel SpeedStep before I could do anything with FreeBSD on that server. No power management. But... we get a mail server?

Yeah, I would say defaults do matter.
They aren’t negligibly slow. Hindenburg had a cruise speed of 120kph, certainly a speed where you optimise the aero design for going forwards.

Some new designs of airships shape the hull as an airfoil, so it generates lift, supplementing the lighter-than-air-ness.
Well, he's just following the American model. Leave, displace and colonize, rebel, and declare sovereignty.

To those who would follow him on such a mission? Sayonara. He's spoken about how it would be mostly work for those living there, and I wouldn't be surprised if he tried to implement a 9/9/6 schedule.

I would trust Weyland Yutani with a Mars colony before I would trust EM.
Another disappointment is giving the definitions of “endonym” and “exonym” and then using them incorrectly in the same paragraph.
But the Solo is also nowhere near this in terms of functionality, so I'm not sure this is a great comparison.

I think jokes ground us to reality by interrupting the logic of ideas. The effects of people spinning and iterating on ideas without having them reconciled to humor or truth are pretty obvious. A great example is emo/goth kids (I was one) who construct and live-by the rules of a narrative fantasy governed by how well it reinforces an (aesthetic) filter on our reflection of self. We were pretty much the poster children for absent and unfunny fathers.

Also, laughter is involuntary. I take humor very seriously because all humor implies the necessary existence of truth, where every joke is a kind of figure/ground relationship against it. Dad jokes are an essential education that uses paradox and collisions in language to demonstrate to kids there is a self and experience moored to truth that is separate from the artifacts of language and narrative. Our self and ego also speak in language, and if there's one thing dads do, it's moderate your ego.

The link between humor and aggression in the article is interesting, especially because a father who lacks a certain level of natual masculine aggression is going to be percieved as insufficiently powerful, competent, or trustworthy, or lacking in the credibility to help ground a kids personality and identity to fixtures of truth and reality. An inability to make Dad jokes could be an example of that.

Personally, my pet theory is language begins mainly as a tool for mothers to keep their children safe, so the axioms of it are almost all necessarily negative, as it's initially used to warn of danger or disgust and shame, whereas love and affection are expressed physically. However, it means the self that is an artifact of language is also rooted in those things unless some dad shows you the limits of them and of how seriously you should take your narrative self.

When we think of a toxic male, it usually means is he is a shameless bro who doesn't respond to expressions of disgust or threats of witholding approval, and he usually learned it from another man, usually his father, who was probably pretty funny as well. If you pay attention, Dad jokes diffuse neuroticism, anxiety, shame, and the remnants of the levers for those necessary warnings we got as toddlers and are arguably necessary to us develop as men and women.
I commend you for finding a use-case for this because I'm scratching my head over if this is a toy project or filling some necessity.

Still a very awesome project!
Genocide, Eugenics, liberty, xenophobia, racism, civil war
Amen. However people are always going to try and game systems so that they can get in a better position than their competitors. I see no way out sadly.
The lines are clearer than ever for the 21st century. This century has been kicked off with the world struggle between democracy and totalitarianism.

People have a choice. Choose the US/Europe/Japan/South Korea/Taiwan, or, the mideast/Russia/China. Many people voted with their feet, migrating to the former nations. Those people have no room to speak as they already voted.

I'm missing some players of course, but generally speaking we in the Free World are definitely at a disadvantage and outnumbered by the hordes of people who desire strongmen and dictators. Most of the world actually does not want or trust themselves with self-determination through representative government. Russia is one of the few examples in Europe where the people want freedom, but don't really know what it is and are scared of the idea that they'll have to become active players in a non-farcical representative democracy.

The middle east similarly never asked for democracy. They largely see no use for it. Most of Asia is the same. The typical Chinese person prefers the greatness of China as a nationalistic power, rather than the greatness of their institutions progressing the freedom of mankind. Which is how most of us in Europe and North America view our true strengths as.

Of course, overt nationalism will lead to servitude, especially for Russia. They'll be losing Chechnya soon, and become a vassal state to China. Far lower than their previous state in the world. This is a nation that once slammed their foreheads on the ground in honor of their Turkish masters, now they are taking off their shoes for the Chinese. Their alternative choice was to ditch Putin, and join with the American, European and Asian democracies. Contrary to popular belief, we welcomed them. But Putin looks at old maps of the Russian Empire and honestly thought it was possible again. Being a farce democracy, there was no institutional resistance to stop him. He's only destroying Russia.

The Russian people are also ultimately responsible here. They chose to cower to Putin. I'm sympathetic to them to a degree, these are a people that haven't and don't dare to speak their views outside of their kitchen table. Yet inaction is an action. They can still stop this. But they have to storm the Kremlin and take him out ASAP. It won't happen. We have a newly confirmed genocidal state in the world to contend with.
If a dad joke isn't funny, a dad will keep telling the joke until it becomes funny. This will eventually happen. In the limit, the act of telling the joke becomes the actual source of humor.

This type of meta-humor takes some age and maturity to understand. A dedicated dad will tell the same joke for years, waiting for the child to become old enough to appreciate it.

Bahamas to Allow Citizens to Pay Taxes with Digital Assets
I was just trying to mention the most widespread method. Sure you can use AES-CBC or AES-CTR, and combine it with HMAC or keyed BLAKE2…

but as tptaceck pointed out, all authentication methods are going to increase your message size. It's unavoidable: to get authentication you need some redundancy, and the only general way to get that redundancy is to have a message bigger than the plaintext. We do have attempts at length preserving authenticated encryption, but as far as I know they're not as well studied as the classical "encrypt-then-mac" methods such as AES-CBC + HMAC or AES-GCM. https://security.googleblog.com/2019/02/introducing-adiantum...
> as if that wasnt a factor (by proxy via NATO) initiating Russian aggression.

This is basically the "she wore a short dress" defense...

The only country that initiated Russian aggression is Russia.
I am not sure I follow this reasoning. I have two questions first what bonds would tax payers be on the hook for? Second exactly where would Disney pull up and go to if they left Orlando? I ask as it was challenging for them to buy up all that land way back in the 60's, they had to be very circumspect about doing it to avoid making the land prices sky rocket. As of today where can they buy that much land now and then rebuild the entire infrastructure of a Disney world? Keeping in mind that it would have to be somewhere warm and sunny most of the year so you are looking at CA, TX, and FL as the most likely contenders.
Yea this seems like a significant amount of unnecessary risk for an asset that is unlikely to get better. I wonder how much of a recession/downturn would trigger a margin call for that amount.
I have never heard such a complaint about his videos. Most? There are enough musicians in the world, on YouTube, and in my family that they would have called it out. I call shenanigans and say it is you, sir, who are wrong or misleading

Fair but the parent comment referenced Facebook as an example and I think it's fair to say Facebook is rather dependant on content recommendation to the point where they wouldn't use the technology at all.
