I'm not even sure I understand your hypothesis here. In the absence of the organisational units that engage in the mass killing of their citizenry in order to sculpt their polities to the ideology which holds sway within their murderous structure, those people will still die because "reasons". Please expand on "reasons" here.

> But also, in the last 50 years

Nobody ever did anything wrong if you can arbitrarily timeslice it in order to make your case. And even there, if you look at the things done under colour of political authority in the past 50 years, you'd still be hard pressed to find a bigger villain on the planet. It just looks good in comparison to the preceding 50 years.

> Again you only speak in terms of costs and refuse to speak to or quantify benefits.

Because once again, no benefit provided under the banner of political authority has ever failed to be provided absent the banner of political authority. When the apparatus in question reduces to an entity that has a monopoly on force in order to compel people to engage in transactions that they otherwise would not of their own free will, it is hardly surprising that all of the good things that apparatus has ever provided might in fact be easily done by the free will of the participants in question.

> I reject the former premise and the latter isn't a reason to participate in a distributed ledger system.

You can reject it all you like, but you're wrong based on the mean economic output per capita vs their debt calculated at birth plus their lifetime cost. And that is indeed a reason to participate in a distributed ledger system, the former basically guarantees collapse, it is only a matter of time, therefore moving to a system not so afflicted of your own free will is access to an easy yield in the meantime.

> Respectfully disagree. The overwhelming majority of participants are just speculators.

The participants in question is not the reason I say it's clearly what a whole lot of people want, it's because of the amount of times the exact conversation we're having about destroying the state being the exact reason any given participant in the cryptosphere is there, including myself. There is indisputably a great degree of desire to do away with political authority.
A news article is not a peer review.

A link to his own website and his bibliography is not a peer review.

You said his work has been peer-reviewed, but when asked to provide such peer-reviews, you only cited a news article about him, and his self-published bibliography. Interestingly enough, his own bibliography doesn't even link to peer reviews of the Google/election-focused research.
You are right! Luckily that's the definition of a graph property .

I've been using Goldwave for 20 years. I do most of my work in FL Studio (writing, producing, and mixing/mastering songs), but when I need to do a quick edit, seamless loop, fade in/out, I always reach for Goldwave. I've tried many sound editors over the years — both free and paid — but I always came back to Goldwave. Yes; it still looks pretty much like it did in 2003, but I don't care because I find the UX and reliability to be unparalleled. I've gotten many years of value uot of my $50. I wish there was more software like this in 2022.

I hope they can open source it so it lives for a very long time.
That's also the argument for gold. It's really hard to change the chemical composition of the earth's crust.

I'm not familiar with Wheelan's work, but will check into it.

Just wanted to share that the US military spends a whole lot of effort on trying to understand group and leadership dynamics. One of the things that led into Kahneman and Tversky's Nobel winning research was an attempt to predict future leadership capability among new recruits that utterly failed. Whatever leadership is, it's not easy to predict before it emerges by other traits.

There's a gap between how the US military is portrayed in movies, etc, vs its actual nature. It's the US's largest and most diverse employer, where the bulk of the staff are young people from a low income or otherwise marginalized background. They spend a lot of effort on figuring out the best ways to make that work, even if they fail at it a lot as well.
Why Your 'Digital Shabbat' Will Fail

There’s an alternative explanation to why the board did what they did: Musk has played fast and loose with “I have the funding for this deal” and “I am correctly disclosing my share purchases” in the past. The poison pill was a way to get him to slow down and talk to the board and get his lawyers to sit down with their lawyers and make sure this wasn’t going to be another “I’m taking Tesla private” moment.

In the coin flip scenario, the intrinsic properties of a coin result in a threshold of 50% which above a certain scale, is very "sharp" or sudden in the transition. Compare this to a hash table or queuing theory, where a certain amount of capacity works well up to a certain point, then it falls apart. If you can design a random test which will display that property, then you can determine it before the fact without having a way to directly calculate that property, like we do for coin tosses.
What is your solution then? If twitter weren’t available, do you think you’d see more or less people speaking against their gov? You’ll also see some people in this thread asking for identity verification. Which shows the value of anonymous posting. Perhaps we should make twitter much like HN and not require identifiable information that links to a real person?
Hm, they prove the existence of a K, but don't put any explicit bounds on it. Someone's going to have to proof-mine this one...
That doesn't mean it's without downsides or that they'd make the same choice today, with the options we have available now.

For example, they probably spend an absolute fortune on cloud costs, especially CI. Node, Go, Kotlin, Elixir or maybe even async+jit'd Python might all be 2-10x cheaper to run.

But I bet there are other choices that would have been worse. I often enjoyed working with Ruby at Stripe, especially once Sorbet came along.
No. It's not that rare for absurdly obvious things to get published to great fanfare.

I'm still bitter about "De Morgan's Laws". There are two of them:

1. If two things are not both true, then one or more of them is false.

2. If neither of two things is true, then both of them are false.

Of course this is obvious to everyone. Writing it down did not merit having it named after yourself. I guarantee many other people had also written it down earlier.

This isn't really true at all. We have an ungodly amount of operational process and knowledge tied up in bash scripts deployed across our fleet, but we could easily deploy a different shell, and use that. We don't use bash because it's the least common denominator on our systems --- in fact, I think in an era of AMIs and Dockerfiles, few people do. We use it because of path dependance.
I think part of the problem is that we still don't have a standard /bin/sh even though there is a written standard. It feels fair to me to suggest that you can call dash the working standard on Linux, but you can't trust that beyond Linux systems(and I'm ignoring installs that are busybox-based here too).

And that also feels like the problem with extending a script with a few bashisms too, as you're suddenly trying to remember when that feature appeared. Off the top of my head I'm wondering what things won't be available to Mac users because it ships with a pre-GPLv3 bash for example.
I don't distrust them so much and I think an administrator would have better things to do. That said, I'd prefer not giving them the opportunity and if it's at all practical "better safe than sorry" as they say.

Thanks for the suggestion.

It isn't just about being personal (though that's particularly bad). It's about not tossing in pejoratives and putdowns. The HN guidelines are clear about this:

"When disagreeing, please reply to the argument instead of calling names. 'That is idiotic; 1 + 1 is 2, not 3' can be shortened to '1 + 1 is 2, not 3."

We don't want name-calling (in this sense) because it leads to dumber, nastier internet discussion.

It's also particularly easy to avoid. If you take out its first sentence, the GP comment loses nothing but hostility and becomes a far better HN contribution.

FWIW Elon also has a habit of disregarding patents https://www.tesla.com/legal/additional-resources#patent-pled... and sharing battery technology knowledge so I wouldn't say their only into "closed,proprietary things".

Name me one large tech company that is open? Apple? Google? Microsoft? Literally all of them have some closed eco-systems and do aggressive patent enforcement.
So, as a rough, the board determines what happens, and the shareholders can notionally replace the board. The board _can_ listen to the shareholders, but are by no means obligated to and in the case of Twitter in particular, the board elections happen on a staggered rotating basis so even a majority shareholder could not immediately replace enough of the board to obtain a majority.

Sure, I'm not unbiased here and am framing this in the way least favorable to Musk --- that if a board is going to accept a first (=chuckle= no, "final") offer from a bidder, it's because the price is more than the board thinks the company is worth. But it's also true that they may have done that calculation quickly, and that really they were just making sure this wasn't an elaborate joke.

Part of my analysis is based on the rumor that Twitter completed a valuation over the weekend, and it wasn't super favorable. But I've got no reliable reporting that establishes that.

Either way, my real point is just that the board could easily have stopped this deal if they wanted to; in fact, they didn't even have to do anything to do stop it.

He owns the companies. He can call himself whatever he wants - doesn't make it true. He got lucky with Tesla - good timing, a pliant customer base willing to ignore all the things Tesla got wrong but still was willing to spend untold amount of money.

I am entirely skeptical he designed anything and considering the duds he's pretending are revolutionary (Boring, Hyperloop, Mars nonsense, Cybertruck, etc) but instead are failures it seems unlikely he could be so right about one thing and so wrong on others.

> There’s really no story there

That's your opinion and you are entitled to it. But it doesn't turn away from the fact that the story was suppressed. Real or not.

> This was similar to the non-story of Hillary Clinton’s email server, Russian-hacked DNC emails, etc. of 2016 which turned out to be completely anodyne and routine

At least it got proper coverage. There was no suppression of either the email gate or the Russia gate. Whether it was fake, true, hoax doesn't matter. It got the coverage it was due.

> were rightly skeptical of a tabloid fluff story with no details, corroboration, or expert analysis about a mysterious harddrive

Joe Biden said it was based on a "bunch of garbage". That it was "Russian disinformation". All news media outlets, including Washington Post, carried that forward in all their news headlines and editorial posts (except right wing news media outlets of course). What were the details, corroboration or expert analysis that they went through before labelling the Laptop as "Russian disinformation"?

> Their skepticism turned out to be well founded

I missed the part of their skepticism where they called it "Russian disinformation" and it turned out to be true. Can you highlight to me where it was proved that the Laptop was part of a smear campaign against Joe Biden initiated through "Russian disinformation"?

What Washington Post has finally done is admitted that the Laptop and its contents are real. Now when it comes to the meat of the matter, the actual contents of the Laptop, it hasn't gone through sufficient scrutiny yet. It also hasn't taken into account the whistleblower's account of what dealings the Biden family had with the Chinese and Ukrainians. On who the "Big Guy" was who received the payments; which is mentioned in a March 2017 email conversation between James Gilliar (Hunter's associate) and a Chinese energy firm where he says: "10 held by H for the big guy?". Who is the "Big Guy" here? Who is "H" here? I am assuming H is Hunter and "Big Guy" is Joe Biden. It is still an assumption and can only be proved in some Court of law in USA. But if you aren't even going to give this evidence a chance to see the light of the day you'll never be able to get to the bottom of the Truth.

Now I am not saying any of it is 100% true as it is still under scrutiny by a Grand Jury (though a lot of it is coming out to be true now). I am just saying that the media actively suppressed this information from the general public out of "fears" of it being "Russian disinformation" which still hasn't been proved. Or maybe, just maybe, they did not want their favorite candidate to lose.

It doesn’t need to be malevolent. You’re made of atoms and if the AI has uses for those atoms goodbye you. There’s no reason to believe consciousness has any impact on the ability to maximize an objective function, i.e. try for a goal.
Great so if you have the same name as a national leader don't pretend to be that national leader. If you do, expect to be brought to court over that impersonation. I'm sure if i made a <social media account> tonight claiming to be the president of the USA I'd eventually get shutdown; KYC just makes it more straightforward to prosecute or block the offenders.

Or repurpose the misinformation banners to make it clear that this is a person with the same name not a person with the same position/title. Maybe the long-tail gets messy but that's where implicitly or explicitly linking to external sources is valuable. Or just trust twitter to be that external source (maybe with 3rd party alternatives via "open sources").

Every time something like this gets posted and even so much as mentions that they look at your GitHub, people come out of the woodwork with their fists clenched an impotent rage.

In the time that I've worked as a interviewer for some of the companies that I was employed at, if somebody includes a good hub link I always make sure to check it out. I'm not looking for necessarily best practices or the exact way that you code, but sometimes people put their personal projects on there which to me shows passion for software development, as well as the exploration of new ideas.

So sure, if your GitHub is just filled with half finished tutorials and unintentionally miss clicked forks, any interviewer worth their salt is going to notice this and then discard it as a signal.

Fair enough.

The other thing you might consider is a separate VLAN for your work equipment. This won't address the public IP concerns, but will separate your work and personal network traffic.

It would require decent spec switch, router and WiFi though: most likely not what you already have unless you have enterprise-style gear. And given it doesn't address the public IP issue, overall a cheap tethered phone is possibly both better and cheaper.

Thanks for the tip! I used Notes on iOS thanks to your comment!
The board cannot, by itself, decide the value per share. The board can present its opinion that the deal is fair by approving it, and suggest that all shareholders take this course of action by subjecting the deal for shareholder vote. If the majority of shareholders agree by voting in favor, then the company will be sold, even if a significant minority disagrees, because the company is structured to act according to the will of the majority. That's what makes this a "fair deal".

Yes but it’s never been so profitable to be a professional troll. There is no need for basically anyone to ever subject themself to a critical media who might ask, “You tweeted this horrible thing, what did you mean by that!” so they simply don’t. Their twitter / youtube / facebook become largely insulated to the extend that they want so there’s really no debating anything anyway.
