I agree it seems weird. I see two things diluting response:

1. A malicious actor is abusing the scenario, but everyone thinks "If it was set up properly in the first place that wouldn't have been possible." Victim blaming in a sense.

2. Attribution is hard.

There is likely more.
You're using a definition that nobody who identifies as a left wing "woke", inclusive or kind, person uses. This is demonstrating my point.

I think you need to follow your own advice! You and those like you don't have a monopoly on what this term means either. In fact I'd argue the people who created the term have the right to define it.

To your point, right leaning people can also be woke! I.e. concerned with inclusion, kindness and equity.

Perhaps it's time to retire the word. It's become some off the cuff, ad hominem insult by right wing leaning people rather than retaining any of the original meaning.

What I gather is that you actually have a problem with something specific that isn't related to "wokeness" but to the tribalism and "othering" that is going on among some left leaning people. This can be talked about specifically without abusing definitions or changing the meaning of words.

I'd go further and argue using woke the way it is used currently by right leaning people is a form of othering in and of itself.
Netflix is a media company that was valued like a software business. Software businesses have near-zero marginal costs. Media businesses have very high marginal costs; making just one more show is not the same as adding one more feature to your ERP SaaS offering.

Media business is also a hit business. It should not have that valuation. They have the best tech stack amongst their competitors, but it is irrelevant if the offerings are not there.
This is utter nonsense. The "social contagion" hypothesis is one researcher (Littman) pushing an agenda, using unrepresentative samples of people recruited from transphobic websites.

As a trans person, I'm not confused about anything. I experienced severe gender incongruence since the moment puberty began. And no one's dictating anything to trans people either -- gender identity is remarkably resistant to external pressure, as seen in all the sexologist reports on trans kids from the 70s through the 90s. That's just not how gender works in our species.
If a person does not revise their core beliefs based on acute events, then, given time, their chronic happiness level will revert to what it was (speaking very generally).

I don't agree with the implication that genetics are to blame, but rather I believe it is incredibly difficult for a person to change their core beliefs, even when reality is at odds with those beliefs.
> when you're shipping weapons for free to one side in a war, plus providing a ton of intel to them from military assets you're operating expressly because of the war, also for free, you're a legitimate target, especially anything related to industrial production (so, including your energy infrastructure)

Proportionality. Weapons are being shipped to Ukraine for use on Ukrainian territory. Not Russia. I don't know if explicit red lines have been drawn. But the Moskva was sunk by Ukranian missiles [1]. And I believe the cross-border raids were done with Mi-8s, not the Mi-17s Kyiv’s been provided by the West [2].

If Russia wants to open its territory to retaliation, that's its choice. But it would be one more blunder in a series of idiot moves. (To be clear, this story looks like Russian criminals being Russian criminals more than anything state directed. If we didn't have the backdrop of the war, the headline would probably mention Bitcoin.)

The key quote from the paper is — "We do not attempt to automatically refactor code."

"A very large Smalltalk application was developed at Cargill to support the operation of grain elevators and the associated commodity trading activities. The Smalltalk client application has 385 windows and over 5,000 classes. About 2,000 classes in this application interacted with an early (circa 1993) data access framework. The framework dynamically performed a mapping of object attributes to data table columns.

Analysis showed that although dynamic look up consumed 40% of the client execution time, it was unnecessary.

A new data layer interface was developed that required the business class to provide the object attribute to column mapping in an explicitly coded method. Testing showed that this interface was orders of magnitude faster. The issue was how to change the 2,100 business class users of the data layer.

A large application under development cannot freeze code while a transformation of an interface is constructed and tested. We had to construct and test the transformations in a parallel branch of the code repository from the main development stream. When the transformation was fully tested, then it was applied to the main code stream in a single operation.

Less than 35 bugs were found in the 17,100 changes. All of the bugs were quickly resolved in a three-week period.

If the changes were done manually we estimate that it would have taken 8,500 hours, compared with 235 hours to develop the transformation rules.

The task was completed in 3% of the expected time by using Rewrite Rules. This is an improvement by a factor of 36."

Can someone explain to my why proving random graphing can produce known shapes is important? Because this seems absurdly obvious to any layman. Why is this a complex proof? I’m guessing it’s more that they proved the thresholds for these shapes being formed more than why?
Anonymity goes directly against Twitter's advertising revenue model that requires targeted advertising. Platforms want to know who you are so they can collate data from disparate sources and appease their partners.

Twitter could verify that you're a human in order to let you use the platform, but they don't, they instead verify your identity. Google does the same thing, and Facebook, too. They want a phone number tied to real accounts with cell providers or photo IDs.

It's not just about bot prevention, it's about monetizing their user base.
yeah, it was the same back when i was on a fast attack sub in the 1970s...and here's the fun part--2 other dudes shared my bed/cot...it's called hot racking...I sleep for 6 hours, then get up and go aft to stand watch or do maintenance, and dude #2 gets in the same cot and sleeps for 6 hrs...he then gets up and dude #3 gets in for 6 hrs...you get 6 hrs in bed per day...FTN...

We run prettier through eslint, and run eslint through jest which provides parallelism. eslint also has a cache... So I'm not sure what dprint gets you over that?

_Everything_ is evolutionary, if you think hard enough. But I think you're discounting the step between "reusable rocket research by NASA in the 70s" and actually building a production system.

"SpaceX's research is almost entirely funded by government sources"

I don't believe this is true. Do you have sources for this claim? The USG has purchased services from SpaceX, the income from which SpaceX has then used to develop reusability. But that's not the same thing as "the USG funding SpaceX's reusability development." In fact, the government missions initially specifically disallowed using reused boosters or Dragons.
If the weather forecasting for the windmills is as inaccurate as my daily local forecast, then I could see the systems just shutting down from inaccurate information! Seems like a centralized system looking at forecasts to predict energy needs that could then privately connect to the remote generating stations would be better than having them be internet connected.
If you run prettier through jest (ex. By way of eslint) you get parallelism.
GOLDWAVE. I remember using it and Cool Edit in the 90s. Well, with Audacity now compromised, we need competition in that open source space (I don't necessarily want a full DAW).

Being trans has very little to do with trucks or dolls or whatever. A trans girl can wear boys' clothes and play with trucks just as well, and a trans woman can be really butch too.

I was never into either dolls or trucks as a kid, nor did I wear girls' clothes. I still experienced gender incongruence.
Do you mean held up or upheld?
If that guideline is meant to cover the words “utter nonsense” it is not intuitive to anyone
Yes, there is lots of ageism. If you don't have a Professorship in your 40s you're out, you'll rarely get a position. I've seen rare cases, but then you'd have to be really successful in your non-academic job - for example, upper levels of NGOs get recruited for highly visible professorships around NGOs, or business people get recruited for 'start up' professorships. These positions are usually 'handcrafted' for the business-person. But there's nothing below that, people won't jump into a mid-level academic career, those positions are full of 'regular' academics.

Not just publications, but other reasons too - someone in their 40s has family and is not willing to work brutal hours and weekends required in many research labs, which someone in their 20s is more likely to accept. Of course it's worse if you're a mother.
Yes, this is all about knowing precisely when the properties are going to emerge. How many edges are needed for the Hamiltonian cycle to be present (with high probability).
If you drill down, you'll find out that those 7-figures for positions lower than principle engineer are lopsided towards stocks, and are likely a reflection of luck-of-the-draw stock-appreciation relating to when RSU grants were issued.
David Shor wasn't fired by a Twitter mob - wouldn't his manager have to be on Twitter for that? He was fired via backchannel complaints or a very emotionally sensitive email list.
What "name-calling" would that be exactly?
The whole point of the poison pill is that the hostile shareholder is not treated equally. He would not have the opportunity to buy the discounted/newly created shares that would be triggered by him purchasing stock. In essence upon hitting the trigger he would be diluted differently to other stockholders.
I'm not sure. The company pays gas fees to mint an NFT and loses the ability to make any more money from that NFT.
No you're not wrong, it's the constant churn of "our current isolation between users/processes/apps isn't as good as we hoped, so lets just run virtualise the whole OS" that has been driving multiprocessing since the 70s.
You just went from answering someone that asked you for a source with "I’m not interested in being an unpaid research assistant" to asking someone else "please link to a metabolic ward study showing..." in the same thread. Maybe people would feel a bit more generous with their time if you were willing to do the same?
>You didn’t answer my question, which suggests your argument is not in good faith.

Well isn't that ironic, considering you didn't answer mine in the GP. I'll tell you what is bad faith though, your shallow accusation as a substitute for an argument. What exactly are you implying with this accusation anyway?

>Seems weird the parents would push it on one child and not the other

It's not necessarily being "pushed" onto them, but excessive encouragement and failure to intervene - and I'm not implying that they've done anything out of selfish reasons (though transgenderism absolutely confers clout in certain circles these days).
Agreed. Still a big fan of Bootstrap, but take a look at DaisyUI, it's built on Tailwind.

From article, “The conjecture pertains to far more than random graphs. If true, it holds for random sequences of numbers, for generalizations of graphs called hypergraphs, and for even broader types of systems.”

“Obvious to a layman” is also frequently not at all related to proof, particularly in a mathematical sense.

Your summary of what they’ve proven is off, as well.
The poison pill dilutes everyone’s shares. The hostile actor could / would dump their shares after the hostile take over attempt. That would crash the price.

Alternatively, the board would keep creating shares as the hostile actor attempted to buy more. Keeping the price the same or higher. Eventually the hostile actor would still take the company but at a much higher initial cost. Once purchased they could still do a merger (51%).

At the end of the day it simply forces the hostile actor (in the sense of buying shares) to pay more.

In this case, the board basically had to sell. Else they’d open themselves to lawsuits anyway. If Musk had a failing bid. He’d dump 10% and instantly the price would be down 40-60%, plus people would lose confidence and drop further. Then the board would be open to failing to do their job as representatives of the share holders.

It's because Facebook is for old people, who remember phonebooks and letters to the editor and are impressed when they see a real name and think it's authentic.

> He would swing between being eager to please and virtually unreachable. We didn't have many meetings or phone calls, but he had more scheduling conflicts than anyone else. On the rare occasion that we had high urgency tasks, there was about a 50% chance that he would obviously be not working on it at all until the evening, despite being online all day.

I think a few periods in my career could be accurately described like this. It was actually just a flareup of some severe mental illness but you can (and my employers certainly did) fire for it anyway, obviously. But I'm not sure your confidence in your understanding of the situation is truly warranted here.
New experiment demonstrates that reality might be real
The other option is reducing number of humans. Whichever way we want to cut it, less mass needs to be moved less distance to meaningfully reduce consumption of fossil fuels, and that is proportional to number of humans and the distances between them.

Or the miraculous discovery of an energy / locomotion mechanism that does not have the negative side effects of current known sources.
Saudi investors with 5% share is pretty far from "complete control" though?
This is misleading because everything you compare it to does compound.

When people talk about an interest rate, a growth rate, an inflation rate .. everything compounds.

If you're saying 5% of some special non compounding thing thats misleading to people without financial literacy to compare to every other rate they read.

So it's more correct to say 3.53%.
Notably still no web standards for end to end encryption. We can crytopgraphically authenticate our identity with cloudservers, but the web has no way to cryptographically secure our data.

I’m unsure of HNs stance on piracy so I’m hesitant to post any specifics. For a single account, key words to search for are “plex shares” or “emby shares” and if you want to run your own server instance to be able to invite others and change the metadata (fix mismatches and choose specific artwork , basically) the keywords are “plex appbox” and “emby appbox”

You’ll find that the majority are on Discord, so you’ll have to get in on that platform, but it kind of works better as it’s easier to keep track of the different offerings, switch if needed, etc.

If you get really stuck, let me know a way to PM you and I’ll give specifics

Given the context of this discussion is a question about why the poison pill didn’t prevent this bid from succeeding, I think it doesn’t matter whether the board accepted because of negotiations with Musk (willingly) or because of shareholder pressure (through gritted teeth). The point is, the board approved the deal so the poison pill didn’t trigger. If they rejected the deal, the poison pill would still be a factor.

At least that’s my understanding.
The Hummer EV is a halo car, meant to catch the attention of a segment of the market and will sell in very limited quantities.

BTW The Ford F-350 starts at around 2.5 tons curb weight so this Hummer is not without precedent. This kind of vehicle is meant to look big and imposing to project a certain image.

(Edit:as Kobe-systems mentioned, I mangled the conversion on the F-350 weight. Corrected)
Reference counts don't need to be a full size_t. Particularly when you're using a mark-sweep or mark-sweep-compact collector to collect reference cycles, you can use a saturating counter, and just give up on reference counting that object if the reference count ever hits its maximum value.

There are tons of applications where lots of objects only ever have one reference, so in addition to the single mark bit in your object header, you can have a single bit reference count that keeps track of if there are "one" or "more than one" references to the object. If a reference passes out of scope and it refers to an object with the reference count bit unset, then it can be immediately collected. Otherwise, you need to leave the object for the tracing collector to handle. This is useful in cases where you have a function that allocates a buffer, passes it to a function that populates the buffer (without storing a reference to the buffer into any objects), passes that buffer to a function that reads out the data (again, without storing the reference into any objects), and then returns.

In the common case of objects where a C++ unique_ptr would do, this single bit reference count never gets modified. There is more overhead in checking the bit when the reference goes out of scope, but there is never a decrement of the reference count, and the common case doesn't have an increment.

An open question to those advocating for poison pills as a mechanism for existing shareholders to exercise control - why don't companies have permanent poison pills?

The fact that they are enacted only in certain scenarios to me is the indicator that they are hostile and discriminatory.

Perhaps I shouldn't have used the word "script". That's it's a script is an implementation detail, it's not automated like a bot. In the same way, if we focus on the mechanism of a call then a robocall is not much different to a human.

> I would argue that it's fundamentally very different than you choosing to call everyone to know

Okay, one is a broadcast to subscribers and the other is single calls to subscribers. The end result is the same, again, the difference is in implementation and convenience.

Having used both Ruby and Elixir, this is exact opposite of my experience. I would say Elixir/Erlang is one of the best language from observability/debugging perspective. Immutability, per process heap, ability to trace any module/function call in production (recon), remote shell etc make it trivial to debug most of the issues. I have found memory leak in production from 3rd party library in less than 30 minutes. Just looking at the process list sorted by memory will tell which library is leaking (in majority of the cases), as most of the processes has single purpose.
I didn't say _sit_ and chill, I just said chill and don't want politics to be the cornerstone of the friendship or something that comes up often. Partisan politics is extremely prominent here and I have no end of places to discuss them if I wanted. I don't think it's outrageous to want a hobby other than discussing politics being the main thing I connect to people on.
For a lot of people it's the syntax that makes Ruby pleasant. As evidence of this, I refer to other comments claiming languages like Crystal or Elixir are alternative (or better?) versions of Ruby, even though the only thing they have in common is their syntax.
None of that makes the US (or any other Ukrainian supplier) a legitimate target in terms of international law. Especially as they're nearly all defensive systems being used inside Ukrainian territory.

We've established this precedent over decades in earlier proxy wars like Vietnam and Afghanistan where the US and USSR armed each others opponents. It certainly doesn't make the supplier an 'effective war participant' as you stated.

This was even true when the US and USSR sent actual personnel in as 'advisors' or combat pilots, even though that is direct involvement. It's not a casus belli.
