I hear what you're saying, but on the other hand, it's because of people like Elon Musk, the Saudi Royalty, and dozens of other wealthy individuals and funds that many of us even have high paying jobs at a number of high profile tech companies.
"Transparent and consistent" moderation has nothing to do with freeing it from "political ideology".

Twitter's moderation is fairly transparent, and mostly consistentish (as it can be, moderating on the scale that twitter does, which i guess is not very consistent at all...). Just because you don't agree with their moderation doesn't make it untransparent, or inconsistent.
Have you ever worked at a large corporation or organization?

Here is a real world example: A technology company I was at was acquired by Cisco Systems. During onboarding Cisco said that usernames on e-mail addresses couldn't be longer than 8 characters. Someone raised their hand and said "What do you mean? E-mail addresses can be longer than 8 chars. Cisco responded well that may be true technically, it isn't possible at Cisco"

Allowing 20 char e-mail addresses is a very simple action, but that organization couldn't do it.
elimination diets are productive and useful, if you do them with a dietician or other licensed doctor (though ones with a diet specialty tend to be better).

eliminating everything but meat is a genuinely dumb tik tok trend.
I was expecting something along the lines of how AI/ML was considered a sexy career path, but there are very few jobs available and high competition for those jobs. So, as a result, you end up with the only available jobs as data engineering/ML ops/backend that supports ML teams. I am happy for this author and their success, but they clearly are not representative of the majority of the people in the ML job market.
It's exactly the amount of nuance twitter was designed for tbqh.
We have never been successful showing that internal maintainers of the legacy were the ones really paying the bills and delivering the current value of the company. Fame and payroll was mostly towards the cool engineers working on new tech not yet in production serving real customers. I hope Echoes helps giving merit to the one contributing to the economic value of the company
I don't totally disagree with you but that is a pretty purely monetary investment point of view. From Musk's position it seems unlikely he's viewing it as an investment; there are plenty of better investments in the world and he also has plenty of room to grow in his own companies already. It seems much more likely he has things in mind he wants to do about Twitter with regards to it being the de facto town square.
Sure. I'll accept your speech as soon as you reply with a scanned copy of your government issued identification.

Right now you're just an anonymous account, and by your own rules, part of the problem.

Hey I actually do the same in a mobile app. I dump everything into a local database, when they are connected to the internet it syncs, lets it work offline.
Agree with all your points and I share your concerns. If this deal goes through, I'll cancel my (almost completely unused) Twitter account. It's not much, but it's more than nothing.
Or just continue raising interest rates. At least where I live, the majority of the excess demand during the pandemic came from investors. It was easy to leverage up and buy more houses using home equity loans while interest rates were low and home prices were appreciating rapidly. Higher interest rates should in theory pop all of these asset bubbles we're seeing.
Very much agreed. Something I found of great interest, especially given my cultural heritage, are alternate forms of musical theory and notation.

I've seen some rather niche notation types that focus on emotion and relative energy while describing notes instead of the usual Italian volume notations alongside the bar notations.

But more interestingly (to me) are things like Indian classical music that doesn't have explicit notation, and instead has a taught relative theory, or other countries like Indonesia that have non octave based scales who's music can only be expressed in western notation by microtones.

Anyway I very much agree that music is a communication language at its core, with music notation existing to aid the spread/consistency of its playback, but it shouldn't stiffle the intention.
There are risks either way, and this is one of those processes where you just want a single good hit. So I guess the optimal course here is to maximize your risks (unless they are biased into not-hire), not to minimize them.

There are other processes where you must never fail. For those you want to minimize risks. If you want a job at X and nowhere else, this is your situation. But that's not very common.

FWIW, I'm pretty introverted too, but my internal monologue is pretty active. So that's one data point that's the opposite of the correlation you suggest.

Not only that, my internal voice has become much quieter with age. And I have learned more and more extroverted behaviors during the same time.
I wish this article included some discussion of serifs on "I" and generally of distinguishing "I" and "l". It's a shame that Clear Sans and Verdana were not included, because they do have a serif "I".
At least in US markets, the salmon are flash frozen on the fishing vessels which kills the parasites. By the time we see the fish in the market or at the restaurant, there are no live parasites. You can store frozen salmon in your home refrigerator even though its temperature is not so low.

We do have the ability to enact laws to reduce power though. E.g. the antitrust laws that limited JP Morgan at a certain point.
Over twenty years ago. Veritably ancient.

Perhaps the reason why people are more troubled by the Waltons (family net worth: $238B) than Gates ($132B) is that the Walton wealth is multi-generational and Gates' is not (so far). Though I think that as long as the Waltons keep spreading their money out among an every increasing number of descendants, it mostly takes care of itself.

I know a current submariner, she's 5 years into a 6-year minimum commitment and hates it. Unfortunately, once you're at the point where you can experience whether it will suit you or not, it's too late to change your mind: the Navy owns you.
There's a lot of 1960s SciFi where future people are planning out interstellar travel routes with slide-rules. Even "The Foundation" series posits that basically all cool technology in the future is going to be based on mastery of nuclear power.

We do a bad job of extrapolating where the future will be from current trends. The frequent breakthroughs in physics and industrial, precision manufacturing of heavy machinery around the mid 20th century eventually slowed down. The remaining problems got too hard to make major leaps and bounds improvements on at the same pace, and the desire/value to keep pushing on it slowly faded. It' still there, but a computing revolution happened instead.

There's no reason to think the future revolving around improvements in networked computing is going to go on forever, we just don't know what the next "thing" is going to be. I'd argue most of the benefits of having the internet readily available at all times in all places are basically already realized by smartphones and anything else is mostly just going to be a refinement or intensification of stuff we already know. It will not be transformational in the way smartphones were. It's on a similar arc where the leaps-and-bounds improvements are harder to come by and it's not clear what we'd do with them when they happen. Gone are the days when anyone would notice a performance improvement in their day-to-day computing tasks from having a cutting edge CPU or GPU. Advancements are increasingly only useful for more niche use cases that refine and improve what we already have rather than dramatically altering the way we work. Faster mobile data is cool, but it doesn't change the way you use your phone and neither will a more immersive computing interface markedly change how you do the tasks you use a networked computer to do.

I don't know what the next field that undergoes such revolutionary change will be. If I were a betting man I'd put my money on major breakthroughs in biomechanics and life sciences, but who can say for sure?
Anything that doesn’t fit the OP’s worldview, apparently.

Update: Sorry I've reverted back to DDG. MetaGer searches are too random and change (right in front of my eyes) even after the initial results are shown.

For example, if I search for "esd windows" in https://metager.org, the first result "Should I delete ESD Windows..." changes to "ESD West Windows". In reality, I actually wanted the former but the result changed and the latter became the first result even after not displaying it after first time querying. For me, this is unacceptable and indicates manipulation (for whatever motive).

So, back to DDG. Search results are comparable to meta search engines (I've now realized). I'll put up with whatever problems it has for now. And man I miss the keybindings, made my life less painful.
> Women who ride seriously are usually superior leaders as well

Always good to wake up one day and find out I'm a superior leader.
Something similar already exists and is in use for example in Zürich Switzerland. Some light rails (specifically the Forchbahn built by Stadler rail) have compressed air jets which clean/dry the track on wet days to help when the track is slippery. You can hear them going off when the train leaves on wet days especially on a hill and the wheels are spinning on the track.

The jets may also mix in some chemical solution to help with adhesion but I don't know.
I suppose one problem is that we don't know precisely how conscious experience arises from neurons firing, which makes the question of simulation fidelity unanswerable at this point. If brains are simple enough that they model N discrete binary functions from simple stimuli domains to simple response ranges implemented in a manner that a physical interaction in a region of the brain is directly mapped to a single function and small subset of relations then perhaps a BIV wouldn't have to perform physics simulations to be accurate enough, but my guess is that an "accurate enough" BIV would be slightly more complex than a physical simulation of a brain; part to do the brain stuff and another part to interpret the necessary effects of physical changes on a brain in the same state as the BIV and map them to the appropriate stimuli for the BIV. In that case the BIV is extraneous, but would exist.

As an aside, there's a related thought experiment about gradually replacing the neurons in a person's brain with artificial neurons that behave identically. The question is "at what threshold is the brain a different person" and my answer is never. If the artificial neurons behave identically then the person doesn't change, but their substrate does. That would be a method to construct a BIV, but the artificial neurons would need to respond to their local biochemical environment in the same way as original neurons. It would certainly be possible to make these artificial neurons immune to physical shock or cosmic rays but this would change the internal experience of the person; they would stop being vulnerable to some forms of physical trauma, some drugs, and some physiological states. The person would notice the change of becoming a BIV, because their experience would be changing at the extremes where it matters that they are physically embedded in a dangerous environment. If the BIV was constructed "outside the simulation" with an artificial biochemical environment they would notice an even bigger shift in perception, e.g. caffeine and other drugs no longer working as expected.
You can get that today if you use a third party client.
That people use the native twitter interface still boggles my mind.
I tried to find a few more or less reputable sources for you:

Don't get me wrong: I'm sure more right-wing/conservatives users are getting blocked than their counterparts, but only because they are more extreme (right now) on those platforms.
This doesn't sound quite right to me; Coinbase pays well, but looking at levels.fyi it's not FAANG money; is there someone else you have in mind?

> Using it for hours a week sounds to me like he’s a fairly normal person, at least with regard to social media use.

What does that have to do with my comment? I was just saying that he won't be hands-off as CEO of Twitter because he isn't hands-off even as a user.

Also, if using Twitter that much were "normal" then Twitter wouldn't be struggling as much as it is.

Even if it were normal, Musk is not a "normal" user (he gets armies of worshippers responding to every tweet) and he is the CEO of at least two other large companies, in addition to being a father of 7 children. He shouldn't even have time to eat or sleep, let alone troll people on Twitter on a regular basis.
I'm still pretty new to it. But that hasn't happened yet
The claim about how Kermit can be just as fast as it's contemporaries like zmodem if it is configured correctly is absolutely true.

It's also a statement about the power of defaults. By the time you research out how to make kermit as fast as zmodem, you may as well have switched to zmodem which does it for you.

Configuring it was easy (I did it myself plenty of times), but "switch to zmodem" is a much easier set of instructions.

I wish they would include these types of studies in Harvard's curriculum and community life, where there is an outsized emphasis on pedigree, test scores, and unlocking career achievements.

There used to a dating website that advertised heavily on Boston-area public radio stations called "GoodGenes" that specifically restricted participation to Ivy League graduates. Facebook followed a similar pattern (at first) limiting participation to elite schools.
Are we sure that is "blindingly obvious"? I think the whole point of studies like this to try to tease out hints at what parts of it are genetic vs circumstance vs choices.

FWIW I think that the genetic component of 'innately happy' is quite small, as I've known relatively few dirt poor people who were happy anyway, and relatively more carefree upper class folks. Though of course it's possible it's still genetic and just caused economic sorting higher up the tree, I suppose.
You should go through at least one to be properly able to judgr free speech and its limitations and risks.
i'm just going to repeat what you said back to you, because it also applies to you.

Maybe you're brainwashed to the point where everything Twitter bans falls into categories of "hate speech" or "extreme disinformation". That doesn't mean the majority of people out there share your views. Of course, you don't have to deal with those people, because you probably hang out only on websites that reinforce your biases via censorship.

The person that wrote this won’t hire anyone unless they are better than themselves. So only experienced and top notch candidates will be hired. I find the criteria stated to be more about an ideal hire rather than a typical hire. Pie in the sky expectations that do not really provide much insight into general hiring in my opinion.
I’m fine with Twitter knowing my identity if I can keep my account publicly anonymous … for the reasons stated in the linked article. Seems like a good balance.

The MathLabs competition reminds me a lot of speedrunning progressions in video games. The routes and techniques used to complete a video game as fast as possible evolve as the speedrunning community shares videos of their record-setting runs. It's a really cool environment for developing the "technology" behind each speedrunning category, and I'd be fascinated to read analysis similar to this article.

I'm not even sure it's higher so much as orthogonal.

Like, I have close friends who I still wouldn't necessarily give a special recommendation about simply because I have no idea what it would be like to work with them on a work project. Or even in some cases, I suspect it wouldn't be all that great because they're obvious slackers about work-type stuff; like when we plan things together, I know I'll need to double check their part of it.

Whereas there are work-colleagues I am absolutely not "friends" with but would recommend for almost any role in a heartbeat.

And there are a very small number that are both: a hard-working colleague who has also become a friend. Those are the people I'd consider quitting my job to start a company with.
The idea is that they have control over how and where they invest their money. If they make stupid decisions, they lose that wealth. So you still have some checks and balances there.
Can you highlight the part that isn’t true?
Does anyone else feel like he's going to start doing petty shit like banning people he doesn't like (e.g. that musk flight tracker account)? He talks a lot about free speech but he has a track record of limiting speech on the platform (blocking multiple people) and off (making the founders of Tesla sign a hush contract).
Petitparser: Parse build framework (DSL/doc/examples)
You would be amazed at the number of managers that largely ignore the "feel-good" part of the job, or even contribute to the workplace being a crappy place to work.

Like the author said, actively improving the working environment when possible earns you "currency" and trust into making unpopular decisions easier to swallow.
Human beings need to be less lazy in switching communication platforms. It used to cost money to change cable subscriptions. It costs nothing to switch to a new platform, except for small businesses who rely on their presence online. For individual conversations, just switch. Not a big deal. It's fairly easy. The problem is lazy competitors who don't do what they need to make their services as easy to access as Twitter. Invest up front, offer a free, low barrier way for people to share the content they want to share and in the format they prefer. Boom.
I found that once underway after the first week passes staying out for 6 more months or 6 more days doesn't matter, it feels the same. Normal time stops and is now measured in watch rotations, preventive maintenance schedules and off time. The hardest thing for me was the complete lack of privacy. You are never alone.
Disclaimer: I love everything about submarines, aside from actually living in one, as I haven't experienced that.

What I HAVE experienced is working under an engineering manager/CTO/CIO that WAS a submariner and experienced first hand how a submariner manages a clouod-scale engineering team...

+ & -

-=-=-=-=-

He was reall sound, technically, and a good person. But an overbearing asshole when he was convinced he was correct, even when he wasn't.

Which was OK, because he would admit when he was wrong, but when he was in the moment of being wrong, was an asshole.

The funny thing was, this was my manager at two different companies, spaced abut ~10 years apart between when we had worked together.

He is a great guy and a great manager - (he's an EVP at Cisco now (again)) -- but you can REALLY see the submariner attitude come across in tense stand-ups in the morning if we have an issue...

Imagine a submariner engineering manager yell at a (not me) - blue/green-dyed-mohawk, gay steampunk engineer who wears vibram five fingers and a top hat and vest and sits on an inflatable ball during standup in sanfrancisco's mission district about scaling AWS spot instances...

Yeah... that was a time.

I love submarines, but submariners are weird.

The Fortune 500 one is a bit disconcerting. I know there are a lot of Fortune 500 developers that would not fit well in a startup, but there are plenty of interesting projects within many Fortune 500s where you would find great developers who would be great startup employees. You do say that you look for something else that catches your eye... but its hard to know what that may be and is probably a lot of chance.

You also state that you want to see "passion" for the technology they have used. I don't really know how to put that in a resume. I have a lot of passion for most of the tech I use- I think that would show within minutes during a conversation or interview. But I'm not confidant my resume really communicates it. Putting "I Love Python!!!" in my resume seems a bit over the top...
