The only thing you need for a humanoid robot is for it to be human shaped and have some electronics inside of it. Doesn't mean it has to even remotely be human in interaction.
Perhaps because that form factor has heavily informed civilization's current challenges?
I think there's a chance that there's some amount of intrinsic tension here; i.e. that if you want to hold people to account for spreading lies; then you'll be similarly enabling dunking on minorities. But dis+misinformation are so problematic that I don't think we should immediately disregard an idea merely because it has some potential collateral damage - especially if a pragmatic approach might exist that at least tries to minimize that collateral damage.

However, while accountability might have worked 50 years ago it sure looks like it wouldn't anymore - it's not as if people, including prominent people actually go to the effort to hide their identity before spouting nonsense - some of it fairly vile, some of it so idiotic it surely would have caused reputational harm a few decades ago.

Real names won't work where there's no sense of shared reproach; no sense by the speaker that their friends will be disappointed or even outraged. Worse, they revel in it; being crazy is a point of pride; as is harassing others (made even easier should a real-name policy be adopted).

So whether or not anonymity for the oppressed is worthy enough aim to accept also supporting yet more disinformation campaigns is probably a moot point; real names will no longer discourage extremists from spreading their special brand of insanity.
I found the "type" of joke made all the difference. "A man walks into a bar..." or "Three engineers went to a party..." type of jokes often shut down the natural flow of conversation and focused attention on an individual.

But, when someone tells a "funny story" like "Last night one of my kids did..." or "Did anyone else notice that crazy thing the other day?" then everyone is involved and easily invited to adding to the conversation even if what they say is not a joke or funny.
Twitter accepts Elon Musk’s buyout deal
Twitter accepts buyout, giving Elon Musk total control of the company
For stockholders I believe it would happen as a “corporate action” like a stock split but instead overnight the shares in your account would be exchanged for cash. Not exactly the same workflow as a sell.

If you're learning in order to build something just pick something and get on with it. You'll make more progress starting with the 'wrong' language than waiting to find the right one.

If you're learning to find a job in the future, read adverts from the sort of companies you want to work for.
Or you could spend your energy doing your job rather than figuring out which jokes are safe.

When didn’t he?
Yes, I'm all for adding layers of social friction, or frankly, reducing the emotional distance. I remember reading a book, I think called On Killing, talking about the psychology of war and violence. In it, he mentioned how it gets easier to kill from a larger emotional distance. Or in other words, it can be harder and harder to harm someone the closer we feel to them. Being able to put on a digital mask and act as a persona can lead to this (it can also lead to opening up more, too), but I at least want to know if someone is wearing a mask or not.
What if I think Tesla is a great company, but also that its stock is overpriced (its P/E ratio is > 200, so that's not a stretch). Am I allowed to short TSLA or does that automatically mean I'm "trying to cash in on the failure of Tesla"?

This kind of thing doesn't give me confidence that Musk will respect differing opinions as the owner of Twitter.
If the deal goes through, ever share of Twitter will be sold to Elon Musk for $54.20. It's like eminent domain, you don't get a choice, you just get cash instead of your property.

I don't know how it impacts RSUs. I'd imagine RSUs already committed to are bought out, and future contacts need to compensate people some other way.
Elon Musk to Acquire Twitter
No problem, glad to help!
Agreed. It's completely dependant on context. Give credit where credit is due. One of my reports had a great idea a few weeks ago and I had him implement it on his own. Knocked it out of the park. When speaking with him I refer to it as "his" improvement. It fires him up that it's his.

People need to be able to take credit for things. If they can't, they can feel like they are just a cog and what they do doesn't matter.

Define news. Is it anything new? Is it factual information? Is it any information by anyone?

News, as its meant in the lexicon, is factual based reporting. Twitter is the opposite. Its a hodgepodge of everything. You have to mine the data to find the gems.

Very few people (percentage of the pop) are on Twitter. People hear about Twitter via other media's amplification. So on its own, its a small platform with oversized influence.
Yeah, it has confused me that it's easier to verify one's humanity on dating apps than it is on Twitter.
Wowza. The engagement in this post might beat Stephen Hawking's death announcement.
I would personally like us to overturn zoning entirely. However, no one has meaningfully unrestricted development once it’s been restricted - anywhere. If you really did allow growth, you’d fuck up so many people’s long term financial plans that they’d riot. Homeowners hold pretty much all the cards, so they only allow upzoning in drips and drabs to keep it from outstripping demand.
that's not funny!
>> I bet 5 dogecoins that we won't get anything of this.

I bet you get Donald Trump back on Twitter.
That's true, but its a deeper problem with that. The moderation is a sort of "in protest" form, with lots of deliberate "blind eyes" and slow action so they don't get deplatformed by the app stores etc.

Beyond the moderation, these sites have the problem that they are inherently set up as a sort of opposition haven -- "we're twitter for people banned from twitter!"

This results in a phenomenon Hank Green calls the "worst people problem"[0]. I'm not a huge fan of the judgemental term, but the core idea is similar to pointing out the inherent contradiction of, say, an anarchists' society. You end up with a userbase that is defined by its desire to flaunt rules and reject any normative standards.

The counter to this is that with a moving, generational collector, the GC mainly touches memory in the young generation which then gets moved out of the young generation. This means that GC languages can have better locality since manually managed languages since all your new objects get allocated together better.
I thought as a private company Twitter (and SpaceX) would be limited to 999 shareholders. Is that not then case?
I wasn't even considering the people who threatened to leave in response to Elon's takeover - the true number would be inconsequential.

> Notable people were using Twitter long before blue checks were a thing

True. Now that I think about it, I most definitely oversold it. Blue-check is a nice to have benefit but notable accounts are still today religiously using Twitter despite not being verified. I think I was focusing too much on the journalist clique on Twitter and their excessive desire for a blue-check.
a) There are several load balancers that allow sharing the state tables. So if you control the network, you share/transfer state tables ahead of removing the LB node from routing. Can even be the same IP with ECMP. I don't know how you would do this on something like an AWS network.

b) In general your right, but this is already a fairly niche use case. But I do wonder if reprogramming the conntrack entry in linux would work, or for lvs which already has a userspace daemon for state synchronization, how it would behave if reprogramming an existing state. It's at least not implausible to do that rewrite somewhere real time... if you control the edge system.

Also, again in a you control the network scenario, OpenFlow switches might allow you to reprogram the state tables while they're live.
>You see, God is love, this is a simple truth found in scripture

I have read my fair share of traditional religious scripture and I haven't concluded this at all from the text. I've found what they call "God" to be at times a very spiteful, cruel, and unloving entity. If this is what "love" means in these texts, I don't want to have anything to do with it.
FAANG staff in 5-6 years out of school is not impossible. I know a couple. They are significant outliers in terms of focus, dedication (i.e. hours worked), and raw intelligence. If I had to guess, I'd say 1 in 30 from the population of Google-level engineers.
Much more important than the font, to me, is font size and line width. Plus, for anything of article length, ability to take and export highlights. That’s why I import all longer form text into Voice Dream Reader. Browser just isn’t the place for reading imo.

> If someone offers to buy all the stock and it doesn’t shift up to at least close to the offering price, then something is wrong with either public perception of the company or the entire stock market.

No, it's a reflection of uncertainty over whether it will happen. Present value is not the offer price, since it's not guaranteed, and also accounts for the time for the deal to close - $54 in a year isn't worth $54 today. Regulatory risk isn't a big deal here, but is elsewhere, like ATVI trading at a significant discount to MSFT's offer.

TWTR is up significantly today since there's a binding deal now.

Not quite the same - pre-pill, Musk did not have funding lined up. Post pill, he produced written documents about how he was going to fund the buyout, and had to promise to buy all the shares, not just the first 51%.

Close. The term originates from payments the War Department (now DoD) made to families after someone died in combat. In some cases the payment was enough for the family to pay off the mortgage, so the dead person was said to have "bought the farm."
It's a sliver over a hundred years ago now, but Germany was also under a military dictatorship lead by Hindenburg and Ludendorff from 1916 through 1918.
Changes to zoning won’t affect buyer preferences though. If your prototypical homebuyers are a family with kids, why are they suddenly going to want a 2/3 bedroom apartment instead of a 1800sqft house with a yard?
Twitter and Elon Musk Strike Deal for Takeover

The HN guidelines have a good one too: Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith.
I'm not well versed enough on their influences to really comment on their relative moral compasses. I'm more focused on the monetization side of things. My understanding is that the bot-fury we've got going on on Twitter right now is largely a result of a monetization goal being misaligned with a usability goal. Removing the question of monetization and having it sustained purely and openly as a money burning pit seems like a better state.

I definitely don't embrace Elon Musk's politics as he is vehemently anti-union, but I don't know how much he'd force Twitter to become an echo chamber for himself.
We cant even agree on which water is best
Well, if you're doing a good job of treating the person...y'know, as a person, then you can ask them to change their behavior. And generally they'll be amenable to reciprocate.

Also: Why doesn't the other person know you've "moved forward"? Try communicating that you have.
0. You visit a webpage with expectation to see a magic trick.

1. When you click on a card, there is no copying involved. But it knows on what card you clicked.

2. Pages asks you to paste the card you think you have in clipboard. You press Ctrl+V, page receives content of your clipboard and instantly replaces textarea content with card you clicked on. This makes you think that you have that card in your clipboard. Your real clipboard with your bank password you used 10 minutes ago is sent to the server.

3. Your clipboard is replaced with different card (adding text to clipboard is allowed and easy in javascript, it's reading clipboard what is forbidden).

4. Pages asks you to open some text editor (e.g. google doc) where you paste the card, seeing new card. This makes you thing that your card was replaced with joker card and it is some kind of lame magic trick.
It's almost guaranteed they're tesla shareholders, and/or passengers on whatever derpcoin pump & dump Elon is fancying at this time. If you believe the value of any of those ventures is linked to Musk's star power then shill seems an apt label.

Unless you take it as a premise that right wing content is bad, then what is wrong with letting it flourish just as much as left wing content?

Depending on where you stand, either will be bad to you and should be stopped. If you are building a company that moderates content, then you have to choose to be neutral, left leaning, or right leaning. Twitter started as neutral, arguably started to lean left, and under Musk many assume will start leaning right, or at least move more back towards neutral. We will have to wait and see.

IIRC when conservatives were complaining that twitter was reducing their reach, the refrain from the left was that twitter is a private company and can do what it wants. With Musk taking it over and taking it private, it is an even more private company, and if it becomes less obviously supportive of left-leaning thought and more tolerant of right-leaning thought, then the same argument applies, its a private company and it can do what it wants.

Maybe this will be the opportunity for a twitter competitor to pop up and vacuum up all of the disgruntled left. It would be interesting to see how an explicitly left-wing version of twitter would faire compared to the right-wing versions that have not been able to land.
To be honest I've never seen a single project on sr.ht :)

But I think it's a plus for using something off the beaten path, provided that the other conditions are met.
The company has a fiduciary duty to treat minority shareholders to the owning block and the major stock exchanges have rules protecting their interests.

This is one area of the the law that works well.
> and you don't even have a device that could be considered a daily driver

I do use it as a daily driver.

It's the only device used by my non-technical relative. But even if it wasn't, the device would serve a purpose and not be another piece of e-waste.

> And which has future potential to be just as free

You can't upgrade Linux on your phone due to the proprietary drivers. You're stuck with the ancient version. When it's not supported, your device effectively becomes a brick, unless you are going to recompile everything yourself or fine with being hacked.

Those ties protect people from life’s discontents, help to delay mental and physical decline, and are better predictors of long and happy lives than social class, IQ, or even genes.

If you have good relationships, you have people taking care of you in important ways probably every single day, whether you interact with them that day or not. Over time, this adds up.

If you don't have that, the cost may be invisible but will inevitably add up over time.
I was looking into this some years back when I was considering building a high-availability IRC bouncer that can pass the TLS IRC connections around with this.

There isn't anything out of the box that I could find, but there was some discussion/prototyping around adding an API for exporting all the necessary key material and metadata to the mbedtls API. With that it would have been "relatively" "easy" to do the TLS bits :)

See https://github.com/Mbed-TLS/mbedtls/issues/3141 and linked ML posts.
I personally think Twitter's long-term prospects looked grim. I think realistically this is one of the better outcomes for Twitter's ability to remain viable well into the future. All the recent feature releases seemed like half effort attempts to keep the water from seeping in.

I think it's absolutely fair to ask whether Musk is the right person to improve discourse on Twitter given his behaviour on the topic in the past, and I don't think this has anything to do with not enjoying works made by flawed people. The latter is a much broader argument, the former is specifically on Musk's behaviour on a specific topic (whether you think he did shitty things on that topic or not).
> how would you write a piece of code? using images in your head? are those images of code?

You think about what you want to write, then you write it. No, not images, thoughts doesn't need to be images, its just thoughts. No, they aren't code, the thoughts are just representations of programming concepts and abstractions that I can't name or visualize. It is like, when you think about a person and their personality, how does those thoughts work? Do you get words that represents everything about that persons personality? No, of course not, you can't fully capture a person in words or images. Yet you can still think and reason about their personality. That is the pure way your thoughts works. You can think about everything using abstract thoughts like that, including math, programming etc.

The fact that some people can't think about math or programming without translating that to language is very fascinating to me.

If you need the expressiveness and power of Postgres then sure, it has also way better JSON support for example, there is generally better tooling for it as well and so on. But in this case, your database becomes it's own _thing_, has much more value outside of being just durability for an application. Like for example Supabase is doing things. That's a very fundamental design decision IMO. I explored this and it is very attractive and robust, but serves different use-cases.
That seems reasonable. But as a user, that seems to make sense. I don’t understand Twitter’s staffing given their profitability and while downsizing may be rough on the downsized, it might help out the org.
The poison pill was intended to prevent a takeover without the board’s approval (buying 51% on the open market)

> entirety

I never said entirety. If you want to disagree with me, fine, but please don't add extra words that change the meaning.

The Langar was proposed as a model for society. Shall we visit the numbers? 50,000 meals served per day, 1,380,000,000 people. 4,140,000,000 meals needed per day if it was a societal model. I estimate 2,000 volunteers are needed to do the 50,000 meals.

Langar has been around for 400 years. Out of 1,380,000,000 they can only muster 2,000 volunteers. Does that sound workable as a model for society? It doesn't to me.

The Langar relies on donations, too. I.e. whether it is a commune or not, it is not able to support itself.

As for some American examples, there's Woodstock, which subsisted on donated food, medical attention, etc. That lasted for three days, then the people left the field completely carpeted in trash, left it for others to clean up.

There was the summer of love in San Francisco, in 1969, which operated on give what you can, take what you need. It collapsed after 3 months, as too many people took and too few gave.
