You left out the "within 20-30 minutes of a high paying job" limitation. I looked on Zillow as well, it wasn't uncommon for those houses (if they were within 30 minutes) to be in such disrepair they needed to be leveled and rebuilt. It's disingenuous to look only at a sticker price.

But yeah, within the hour and a half commute zone of a metro area, you can find affordable housing.
> almost never

Just to ground this discussion in some actual data, here are the figures from a 2019 news article[0]:

"It shows how, of the 80,813 applications that were refused or withdrawn between 2010 and 2016, only 29,659 individuals were removed, leaving 51,154 failed asylum seekers in the country from that seven-year period."

So it would be better to say that "only 37% of failed asylum seekers are deported". Also, I don't think that 51,154 people in seven years entering a country of 69 million really represents "unlimited migration".

Good trick, had me fooled and feeling very paranoid! :D

I appreciate that you took the time to explain how it works in another comment in this thread.
On the contrary, Twitter is going to be saddled with some debt that will be used to finance the takeover. But perhaps this doesn't matter to Musk.

That's a very vague comment to make without naming the subreddit and the topics being discussed on it. What are the "controversial topics" and what are the "truly dangerous ideas"?
Twitter's toxicity comes from human being human not twitter being twitter
Both, in person with very good friends that I respect and others online have responded this cliche argument. If you peel the layers of your argument, embedded within it is basically political disagreement. Which is perfectly fine, but I wish people would cut the chase to it.

To distill it further: A bottom-up argument would be that "Because Elon has done X, Y and Z; I dispise him". What's going on here is "I disagree with Elon's fundamental values, but let me pick X, Y and Z to make my case".
The temperature alone - dry ice is only like -109F and sold at most Safeways for a few bucks a pound (and safe enough to ship via all standard postal carriers with nothing more than an optional sticker) while LN2 is -320F. That requires a completely different storage and handling protocol.

So therefore "not controlled". That tweet was funny or at least mildly amusing. We can call any likes that any celebrity gets a "controlled mob", if we go with this line of thinking.

Yeah, you probably can do everything with the "simpler" stack. It might even be nominally faster in many cases. But if there's any chance you're going end up rolling your own type-validation or ORM or admin interface or GIS... Just use the battle-tested kitchen sink from the get go.

Many detransitioners are raising the concerns about the psychological effects of more and more surgery on young people to actualize their true selves. This is counter to the prevailing narrative that every surgery that a young person might have is reversible down the line through more surgery.
Indeed - I have a very good friend who was a reactor operator on a sub - and I still can’t visualize him doing that. He’s pretty much the opposite of descriptions like these which I guess proves the point that generalizations are just that - generalizations and not hard or fast rules.

And nope, I would never make it on a sub either. Two years of ROTC pretty much ruled out any military service for me - let alone on a sub. But I’m grateful for those who are willing and choose to serve in those roles.
The issue with representing them more compactly is that we'd have to make the rules much more complex and we'd also have to depart from the C abi, so while this is something we might look into in the future it's not very likely to happen.
If posting funny (albeit mean-spirited) things to make people laugh constitutes control, then accusations of 'controlling people' seem a lot less serious. Every comedian is in the business of control by that measure.

At that point twitter will get problems with many countries and their laws like the Network Enforcement Act in Germany.

It could get a similar reputation like telegram as a place for conspiracy theorists and extremists.

I don't know if this attracts many ad partners.

The US military actually has various perspectives on this statement by branch:

> But mandating generalist knowledge is actually a norm in other countries. The Brits/Canadians tell a joke about US soldiers: Whereas each member of a british or canadian gun crew is expected to understand and perform all the jobs associated with firing a gun, an American is likely to respond "I pull the rope."

For instance, the Marines encourage a lot of cross-training. First and foremost, it shoots operational cost to the bottom if you have, say, a Corporal that's formally trained in electronics, but also knows their way around MEPDIS gear, HVAC, guns, and troop movement. The reason you'll hear the most touted though: "What if someone dies; who can take their place?" It's like a right of passage in a way. Green Berets, Navy SWIC, and SEAL/S work in under similar lines of thought from what I know. This all aligns to their mission though: seizing forward positions.

The line company Army, however, focuses on specialization. The reasoning is pretty simple: their mandate is to occupy. imo, the way people organize around knowledge is based on the challenges they perceive in the mission ahead. I've yet to figure out how to replicate this in software.
lol...like Twitter was some kind of bastion of information dissemination for the people, rather than a massive narrative filter and amplifier. The irony is that a lot of people are hoping he can return Twitter to a place of a less restricted conversation...

Cathie Wood and ARK are selling too. While putting out a report with a price target of $4,600 for TSLA, they’ve been taking profits and trimming their TSLA position in their flagship ARKK fund from almost 4 million shares to less than 1 million. One of the biggest cheerleaders for Tesla is publicly saying the stock will quadruple, while cutting their holdings by 75%.
Maybe it comes across as tedious.

But -- we write because we hope to communicate, and if you're mistaken as a flaming misogynist then the communication will fail and you won't reach the people who could benefit the most from your perspective.

I think it can be worth it to put on a bit of a dance to make it clear that you're not just looking for reasons to be dismissive towards women, even if in some cosmic fairness sense you shouldn't have to prove you're not a witch.

In my mind a reasonable way to do that is to point out that variance differences often make men worse. Particularly so since someone one extra sd more intelligent on the top end probably has little benefit to their life, while someone being one extra sd more violent on the bottom end makes them much more likely to live a life thats miserable for them and those around them.
What's the argument here? Only people with 100% success rate can fix Twitter?
As someone who experienced Turbo Pascal, For Pro LAN, QuickBasic and Norton Utilities, I'm the complete opposite of your opinion.

Nice. Do you plan to match it with marketing/sales budget per product line or Business unit? To be sure that the effort of "maintaining legacy" is equally measured versus over funded efforts on new features for growth?

> Dart, despite being a from-scratch, relatively modern language, ended up with three implementations (host AOT compiler, host IDE compiler (dart-analyzer), on-device JIT compiler).

We also had an earlier analyzer written in Java that was mostly discarded and rewritten as well as two compilers to JavaScript that share less code than you would expect.

Some of the redundancy is because, as the author correctly states, the needs of an IDE are quite different from the needs of a batch compiler. Likewise, an ahead-of-time whole program compiler has different constraints from a JIT compiler running a program from source.

But a lot of the redundancy in Dart's case is incidental. We have a fairly large, distributed team with a lot of autonomy and sometimes that led to people doing their own thing instead of putting in the effort into coordinating and sharing more code.

Also, the language changed radically from Dart 1.0 to 2.0. 1.0 was a dynamically typed scripting language designed to be run from source in a native VM directly embedded in a browser with a separate optional type system mostly used at dev time. Dart 2.0 is a fully statically-typed language with a more typical compilation process.

That monumental change led to some duplication and technical debt that we are slowly paying down by sharing more and more of the front end over time.

The path I see most new languages take is:

1. Start with a command-line batch mode compiler.

2. Eventually get popular enough that users clamor for real IDE support.

3. Cobble together an IDE plug-in based on the batch-mode compiler's front end.

4. Discover that the latency is horrific and slowly and painfully realize you need to write a new front end architected for IDE use.

5. Now you have two front ends.

I believe the throughput loss of a front-end designed for interactive IDE use is less than people realize. So I suspect that a more efficient path for any new language is to design your front end for interactive IDE use from day one.
> Miscellaneous: joke less, laugh less, stop gossiping.

I can't tell if the last point is satire or not. I think the other points are great, and do agree with "stop gossiping" on the last point. However, "joke less, and laugh less" seem to be bleeding too much into "killing culture." You should be able to laugh and joke with co-workers. Not anyone's expense, though. Of course there is a time and a place, but the last one (if it's not satire) feels a bit mehhhhh. It doesn't feel like good advice in this context.

Those are great examples which are certainly currently higher-ranked. I suppose the argument for Musk would only make sense in a few decades, if climate change was catastrophic and he could be credited with something like advancing electrification by 10 years, and a Mars settlement was bustling. Then maybe he could be up there with the greats.
"let people say what they want"

I actually think this will be the demise of Twitter.

No content moderation makes harassment and abuse rampant and the good users will flee and you're left with a cesspool of hate.
Why would you want to have a bot post for you? Once we have general AI available, there will be much better applications than posting for you on social networks.
And why is that a bad thing? Trending blacklists are a standard moderation tool, basically every social media platform uses them nowadays. Without them, bad actors can game the algorithm to get their spam promoted through the trends system.

The fact that moderation tools exist does not imply that they are being used for political censorship. None of the screenshots of "search blacklisted" accounts from the leak showed any evidence of it being used on actual people, they are all random alphanumeric usernames with more reports than tweets.

In fact, the opposite is true. In 2018, when the feature was first rolled out, it was found to be catching several notable conservative commentators because their tweeting behavior is hard to distinguish from trolls and spambots (wonder why...), so those people were explicitly whitelisted so that they would appear in searches and trends despite their bad behavior.
> and welcomes non-extremists back on

What is this even supposed to mean? Extremist in what sense?

If we are talking about politics, a common context for this kind of language, the United States is the most extreme capitalist nation in human history, so just being a US patriot should reasonably be considered an extremist position.
Out of curiosity, do you plan on having kids?
Is there any evidence that "companies, figures, games, movies, etc" have stopped using Twitter to promote their products and/or use Twitter as a support channel? And doubly so that they did this because of their own political views?

I find it really hard to imagine that there is a significant number of such companies that is just waiting for Milo Yiannopoulos, Steve Bannon, and Alex Jones to be unbanned, so they can finally resume using Twitter for their commercial purposes.
Why does he have to be such a pedantic and cringy person while doing it though?

He's probably going to unban Trump and other awful people. His buying Twitter is literally a risk to the foundation of civilization (if far-right clowns gets into power again and destabilize the US and Europe). Billionaires gained a lot of money and power in the past few years.
Facebook does this no? I thought the issue was you effectively have to be a psychopath to do the job because of how horrific the unmoderated internet get.
My point is that if you made Elon CEO of Cisco, he could make e-mail addresses longer than 8 chars within a week.

liquid nitrogen would require better insulation at the least, since its much colder.

I suspect they're also taking advantage of the fact that dry ice is solid, so they're effectively sand-blasting the track (rather than merely pressure-washing it), but they're using sand that helpfully sublimates into the atmosphere without leaving residue (or poisoning anyone).

I imagine blasting sand or chemicals has the downside of leaving residue that can build up, meaning regular cleanup is required, and care required to use enough but not too much, with this you can spray as much as you can afford to buy/carry on the train and you don't have to worry about over-doing it.

Dry ice blasting is already a thing, so I guess they just realised it was a particularly promising technology for this application.

I did some reading up on this just now. You are of course right in that ECC on-chip will only handle bitflips inside the chip. To ensure the integrity of signals between the memory and the processor traditional ECC will still be required. On DDR5 it will be necessary to have 4 parity chips whereas with DDR4, you only need 2, so true ECC capable memories will be considerably expensive.
> This is especially true at the highest echelons of engineering — it’s a sine qua non to be able to dream and execute.

Nice quote. There's something very ideal about figuring out where opportunities really are, what can be done. While making the machine function well getting there. Knowing that there's got to be synergy rings true, if you want real effecacy.

My biggest counter belief is that execs are often kinda useless because there are often few actually high magnitude directions to head. The success of many products is, in my feelings, as much arbitrary as it is anything a company does. We can add up very small things for or against us, but there's a corporate grandiosity & self-regard that has an immeasurably higher view of itself & it's prowess. But usually the die is already fairly cast, we are what we are, working in incremental modes, & it's more fate & cirumstance affecting us than the lines of power at the top.
