I don't... I haven't written any code outside of my 9-5 job since I graduated from college almost 20 years ago.

I am still a really good employee and I always get excellent performance reviews.
Convincing people he’s actually interested in those goals (moving humanity of fossil fuels and earth) is going to get harder and harder to do. Buying twitter might be a good way for Musk to continue to shape the narrative around his businesses as they fail to deliver.
I’d argue FB and Google stopped pretending to be about free speech and such a long time ago with Twitter being the one left that claimed to be a beacon of freedom (while not really being one).
I don't think they did fail just yet, but even if they did Tesla is still well and alive. It's actually doing better than ever I think. The point was that this is not the beginning of the end for Tesla or SpaceX, just like it wasn't when he started doing those other projects too.
Ad hominems (or attacks on the person or source rather than the argument) are only logical fallacies when applied to people on "my team." Please update your "Rational Skepticism Operating System" to the current year version.
1gb of data?
Also make sure you don't chose one of the 100,000 or so that didn't last five minutes
Status quo moderation also ignores spam, and I'd expect that aspect to change in the direction of more moderation under Musk. "0 moderation" was never on the table.
This. Inkjet printer and acid-free cotton paper.
Yes, legally it is perfectly clear. Just not the why. Is there any other language that has taken a similar approach? Has this been discussed in relation to Hare somewhere apart from the brief chunk of text that I linked? I am perfectly accepting that I may be in error here in terms of how I view licensing, but it bothers me that I can not build a mental model of the intentions of the authors.
>> where literally the CEO of VW said that VW was not able to produce vehicles as fast

Source for that? And not the drone footage of one of Tesla's factories please.

>> Tesla had a gigantic amount of negative press

But this is still press, isn't it? And it is Musk that gets the negative press, not Tesla.
He already spends hours a week just posting on Twitter (and reading it, liking posts, etc.)

I think he's obsessed with his growing celebrity and Twitter is his megaphone.
One may also not want to contribute to those leaders on principle, and instead reward the other leaders even though it costs more.

Also, this type of stuff is costly to deal with, in terms of emotional and physical health, and probably even monetary costs:

> She miscarried at a hospital and allegedly confided to hospital staff that she had attempted to induce her own abortion and she was reported to the authorities by hospital administration or staff,”

Here, you have precedent being set that a woman should play it safe and withhold information from their healthcare provider, lest they be put through an ordeal like this.
Isn't anonymous shitposting kinda the point of Twitter?
I'm not well versed in golang generics (at $WORK we use go, but not generics yet)
but if you want type switches you'll need interface{} to do that

Which of course defeats the point of using generics

_edit: clarify that my attempt is a bad practice_
From Thomas Sowell’s Basic Economics:

“When people have more money, they tend to spend more. Without a corresponding increase in the volume of output, the prices of existing goods and services simply rise because the quantity demanded exceeds the quantity supplied at current prices and either people bid against each other during the shortage or sellers realize the increased demand for their products at existing prices and raise their prices accordingly.”
I will become a Musk fanboi if he reverts twitter to allowing unlimited reading without being logged in.
In approx 30 yrs time you might be able to get the data back on Linux.
He'll hire Donald Trump as CEO of Twitter }:-)
This is what I'm worried about. Owning/running Twitter sounds like a huge distraction from SpaceX, which is the most important way he can make an impact in my view. His involvement in Twitter up until now has consisted of relentless culture war shit posting that hasn't added any real value to society, and I hate to see him going farther down that road.
Without relatable content, it would become a meaningless "do this, then do that" bullet point list.

It's the stories and the emotions that are evoked when reading, that trigger profound changes in my mind.

I have no time to waste reading any of the millions of random trivial "do this, do that" lists. They have no relation to me. Why should I follow them?
More than likely it'll be a fine for Red Bull/the pilots involved - and at worst a revocation of the pilot certificates for the pilots involved for continuing ahead despite knowing that an exemption wasn't granted.
Having met Elon, I can tell you that he is not into anything for the fame, fortune, or glory. Those are secondary.

He genuinely wants to make a difference to humanity.

A lot of us who agree with him, do so in alignment, because as individuals we also want to make a difference to humanity, and .. in so doing: we see the problem with the commons.

If we do not fix the commons, it will be weaponised against us all, and that is in fact the situation.

So, from a fanboix perspective, in all honesty, this seems like Elon has added a 3rd option to his list: iii) stop humans from killing each other in the meantime.
Bummer, I should have tried it on an iPad. I one packed away somewhere. If someone doesn't beat me to it, I'll get a fix in for that.
Yeah, I was imagining through some kind of existing organization where you know people personally and have someone trusted enough to handle the money.

Worst case if someone backs out you have to sell the extra, which isn't going to be very hard right now.
Incidentally, I'm guessing this will cause a rise in Trump's popularity again. There's a decent chance he gets unbanned by Musk (who is strongly in favor of unregulated speech on social media), and Twitter was how Trump garnered much of his base.

is it common to need to take the FTC on residence taxes? my understanding is that US federal income taxes are lower than most foreign taxes, and skimming the Japanese personal income tax brackets, it seems to be slightly higher than US federal income taxes (ignoring deductions).
I think it would spur a revolt. Too many users were begging for it. This would confirm their worst fears about what Musk wants for the platform and take it as a sign to leave. Related note, Truth Social (Trump's semi-abandoned competitor) is rumored to be merging with Rumble. Rumble being a more established social network with Trump-friendly content. Trump going back to Twitter would also mean he admits defeat on his attempt to defeat it.
> I've been on twitter since the very beginning and lately it feels like it's a toxic cesspool on all sides.

> I say this as a twitter addict and prolific poster over more than a decade.

It's possible Twitter(and Social media in general) is as not as toxic you feel. I spend more time on LinkedIn than other sites and I feel it's more toxic than others. SM sites do feel less toxic if you tune up your feed, mute people and spend a little less time on them.
Let’s add that likely a significant chunk of those programs are full of memory bugs and/or data races. But with unsafe they are all possible to write. Though the reverse is not true, you can’t generally write SIMD-aware code in C without using inline assembly or some compiler extension.
I'd be delighted to learn that all our laws before 2000 had faded from the statute book.. but you're probably right, it seems durable enough.
Yet I'm constantly doing this on some of the most popular websites (eg. Amazon) to remove tracking portions and other unwanted cruft when sharing or archiving links.
He will change it to let all the toxic people back on. It will become worse and less pleasant and he will likely lose investors money ultimately but maybe not before he exits. We shall see.
Wild guess is that under Musk's ownership, Twitter will be a more open platform but a far less anonymous one. You'll be able to post more than you're allowed to now but it will be attached to your real identity. Should be interesting to see how that pans out. Investing in better filtering tools so users can decide for themselves what they want in their feeds will change the nature of the platform too.
Do you know people who work or have worked for him? I work in the clean tech industry and know several people who work(ed) for solar city or Tesla. Musk is, I hear, a great recruiter, but then overworks his talent and eventually they burn out.
Twitter is what you make it. If you choose to surround yourself in the toxic cesspool parts, perhaps that says more about you than Twitter?

99% of the stuff I see is interesting technical content
I think you are underestimating the legendary level of importance that Gwynne Shotwell has on SpaceX success.
He just wants the user base. Intends to build a protocol to enable free speech.
It's pretty easy to grab some open source project from Gitlab, alter the commit history to pretend it's all you who wrote it and uploading it to Github. You can also grab some inconsequential JS library, change the name, and publish it to NPM.

If you're putting in the effort to take your resumé, you might as well fill out a fake Github. After all, the "hiring experts" only seem to care about the code you've pretended to write.
>How to properly moderate social media to control some of its worst tendencies has been a very visible and very difficult issue for pretty much every social media company for the past 10 years.

Define "worst tendencies", because most people agree that "doxxing" and calls to violence are unacceptable but the left has just labeled all speech that they disagree with as "violence" or "misinformation" and just banned it all. I think musk has a good pulse on the dividing line that is most appropriate and that having the wrong opinion on the definition of a man, who won the last presidential election, and whether or not a vaccine is "safe or effective" have no business being censored by the cretins currently running twitter.
He uses one company to bail out another, in a major conflict of interest (see SolarCity and SpaceX's use of NASA funding to buy junky bonds, then Tesla purchase with song and dance of fake solar shingles that couldn't economically work as designed).
Qanon has been with us for years.
Currently using SQLite3 as the backend db of www.rtljobs.com.

I love it - very robust, lots of documentation, StackOverflow answers, example queries, etc.

On a typical day, I get less than 50 users per day globally, so I don't really have to worry much about concurrency or other issues that SQLite struggles with. I'd wager that many web applications are perfectly well served by it.
npm didn't historically do lock files either, thus is was easier to update npm packages unintentionally.

npm is also a worse designed cli, just executing npm without any arguments and it will start installing regardless of where you are in the filesystem.
Are you saying that restricting the flow of information does not ... checks comment restrict our flow of information?
Looking at the problems Twitter has, why does anyone think Musk can even solve one?

If one believes Twitter has a free speech problem: Musk shouts about free speech but shut down Teslas PR department, lashes out against any criticism against him, canceled a preorder because he didn't like a journalists' article etc.

Musk is great at self-promotion and this often helps his companies in some sense, but what else does he bring to the table?
Twitter is real-time and the voice of the Internet I think Musk just wants to control that. There's no free speech aspect to the purchase it's just pure spite. Trump will be back within a week and I think the overall Twitter experience will degrade even more.
Musk is not the right person for this job. He simply lacks the skill set for it. Running a large social media platform requires nuance and tradeoffs.
If you standard for successful moonshot entrepreneurs is "no failures", it's probably hard to find any.

Yeah it is a weird list. Dartmouth, Brown, and Duke? Good programs, but definitely below a number of public schools (Washington, Michigan, UW-Madison, UT-Austin, UCLA, UCSD, UCSB, UIUC, and probably others that aren't coming to mind right away).
In a world where 99% of software is still written to run on 4-16 core machines and does tasks that any machine from the last 10 years can easily run on a single thread if it was just designed more simple instead of wasting tons of resources...

I'd wager that most of the applications that need to be "complex" in fact only haven't sorted out how to process their payloads in an organized way. If most of your code has to think about concurrent memory accesses, something is likely wrong. (There may be exceptions, like traditional OS kernels).

As hardware gets more multithreaded beyond those 16 core machines, you'll have to be more careful than ever to avoid being "complex": when you appreciate what's happening at the hardware level, you'll start seeing that concurrent memory access (across cores or NUMA zones) is something to be avoided except at very central locations.

> essential complexity can’t be reduced

I suggest looking at accidental complexity first. We should make it explicit instead of using languages and tools that increasingly hide it. While languages have evolved ever more complicated type systems to be (supposedly) safer, the perceived complexity in code written in these languages isn't necessarily connected to hardware-level complexity. Many language constructs (e.g. RAII, async ...) strongly favour less organized, worse code just because they make it quicker to write. Possibly that includes checkers (like Rust's?) because even though they can be used as a measure of "real" complexity, they can also be used to guardrail a safe path to the worst possible complex solution.

Reviewing books aren't part of the FDA's purview, but there are some that doctors frequently recommend. Dr. David Burns' "Feeling Good" is about as close as it gets to an English language bible for addressing early onset anxiety and depression via CBT methods.

However, a doctor or therapist wouldn't just give you the book and ask you to follow its suggestions on your own. They'd work with you to set up homework (worksheets to identify negative thinking patterns for example), set deadlines and assess how you're doing after 2 weeks, 4 weeks, 6 weeks, etc. They act as an accountability partner.

Judging the efficacy of productivity advice can also be properly assessed via a similar scientific method of observation and experimentation and measurement.
Just because you’re rich doesn’t mean you “have” to use your jet. You can charter another jet, fly first class, drive, any number of means of transit.

In fact, once you have a jet you can strategically use it to deceive your movements.

I think the question is that how is it useful if you happen to have two hashes that match - it's very unlikely that they will be

Where the problem comes is when you can generate a matching 128 bit hash with your own content without having to do 2^128 different hashes (or strike ridiculously (lottery winner being struck by lightning) lucky and only need to do 2^100 hashes)
It is available in Turkey.
That information is of public interest, because Musk is a public figure that constantly talks about climate change.
>> In his latest TED interview [0], Musk said that he had the funding secured for that Tesla private offering. He said that he needed to settle with the SEC so that they wouldn't freeze Tesla's bank accounts, and as part of the settlement he needed to publicly say that he hadn't secured funding.

Citing from like three levels of comment up-stream.
I don't think Facebook or Twitter should be the ones who perform the content moderation, except for clearly illegal posts.
But, every company should be able to use the right tools for sensible content moderation.

BrandFort (https://www.brandfort.co) is a company working on such content moderation.
We are using Artificial Intelligence for helping companies to remove/hide unwanted comments on Facebook and Instagram.
The focus is on brand protection. That's why we hide negative comments (sentiment), complaints, spam, comments related to political topics, profanity and offensive comments in general.

If you have any questions about how we set it up, just ask.
I am happy to give an introduction.
I was one of the first users, still have a 3 digit API ID, and made some good money from Twitter over the years. The often cited cesspool is highly exaggerated among certain peer groups. Twitter can be fun and happy and hasn't really changed a lot, provided that you follow the right people — Which can be hard for new users given the non-explorative/gradual onboarding. Back in the days, we built proprietary blocking into the app — all those things, filtering, etc. are now available natively. Twitter only gets frustrating if you let it.

Looking at the problems Twitter has, why does anyone think Musk can even solve one?

He's solved the full self driving problem. He has more time on has hands...

>You can't get postdocs without a PhD

My understanding of a postdoc position is that it's "post" (after) "doc" (doctorate/phd)

I'm not exactly sure what you mean by this, could you explain a bit?
But yet, that other stuff matters much more than some dick measuring contest about going to Mars. Musk has shown time and time again that his ideals of climate change or whatever are not genuine. He wants to get to play with cool toys, make bold but undeliverable promises, and get as much attention as possible. And yet, people look up to him as if he’s some saint bestowed upon us. I truly feel letting a billionaire like him take one of the biggest megaphones in the world private as a personal playground is one of the worst things that could have happened. And it’s all because he wants to say what he wants to say when he wants to say it, even though he has a history of bullying and trying to shut up people who disagree with him.
Having an aloof CEO not running the company absolutely is bad. Case in point: Twitter.

Forwarding will always be unreliable, regardless of which service you use. Gmail has POP3 fetching feature for a reason, so people would forward less.

Disliking the answer does not make it incorrect. =)
>He's the richest person in the world, he's so tremendously successful whatever attributes that you want to apply to him is literally only something to learn from. Hubris? Overconfidence? He's basically the world's first trillionaire. He has had how many doubters along the way and he's right every time?

Is it the goal ? To be the richest ? Amazing perspective for our world ahead, let people amass cash, it's going to go _great_

>he's right every time

Except when he bets on camera only FSD, causes deaths, pushes the Hyperloop, does the Vegas Loop, calls people who reject him pedophiles, pushes Starship, pushes absolutely terrible working conditions for both factory workers and engineers, and an unending list of Elon bullshit. In the same way, is he "right" when Tesla only exists because of credits from the state (which he then complains about when the state asks him to respect the law), when SpaceX only exists because the US has kept it afloat, when he was kicked out of Paypal for being a dumbass, when he threatens our spacefaring possibilities with bullshit pride projects such as Starlink, when his stocks are propped up with his lies and just his personality ? Sure. Must be nice to live in the Musk Reality Distortion Field. Be real. He's not a hero.
Why are we rating seriousness?
I think “collapse” is a bit dramatic. We’re not talking about WeWork here.

Revenue will continue to increase, but at a slowing rate.

Stock price correction != company collapse.
> Musk, the world's richest person according to a tally by Forbes, is negotiating to buy Twitter in a personal capacity and Tesla is not involved in the deal.

Wasn't ~half of the capital coming from margin from equity Musk has in Tesla? I wouldn't count that as "not involved in the deal" although I see how it could be construed that way.
Not admirable, however understandable. They are afraid of getting cancelled in the toxic culture wars and losing their livelihood, career, and everything that depends on it like family and home. Because, 'social justice'.
The Tesla engineers have solved 95% of the self-driving problems, perhaps. The remaining 5% is, of course, much harder to solve
For context, Musk's net worth is the same amount of value that the world produces every 32 hours. So him directing all his wealth towards those goals would be a huge redirection of resources, but not necessarily significant on a global scale.
