Agreed save for the last line - the character limit means nothing complex can ever be successfully discussed there. Which excludes basically every important subject, leaving quick news and jokes as the only viable uses of the platform for anyone of sense.

Both of which I enjoy, but that's hardly cause for lavish praise.
Well, they fucked up their implementation of USB-PD with a rookie-level mistake, it took ages for them to support booting off USB, the 5V rail is noisy...

Raspberry Pis were initially just a way for the Pi foundation to help Broadcom sell SoCs nobody wants anymore but they still had lots of stock/tooling for. Sort of like "hybrid" bicycles are how bike manufacturers milk more money out of hardtail (non-suspension) MTB frames.
Remember when Harvard was considered to be intellectually peerless. Yeah, the only thing going for it is its endowment. Like others growing up, I assumed that Harvard was only for the best and the brightest in the world. If you applied for Harvard and didn't get in, this is what you're missing. Even the most prestigious of institutions are not immune to the replication crisis and hand-waving research overall.

Just another attempt to downplay the roles of money, social status as it pertains to happiness. I am sure someone who is smart, wealthy and has high social status, like Bezos or Musk, is happier than the average person of their age group who has neither. Being happy at 80 or 90 does not matter. I want to be happy now. For for most people, that means having money and professional/career status and success. Yeah, the midlife crisis is a real thing, but for unsuccessful people who make no money, life is a daily crisis if you're poor.
I had an interview where this was the case. I had a bit of code I was very proud of and had fun writing. It wasn't more than 75 or so lines. This was the best interview since it allowed me to share a related interest of mine through the code sample I brought.
Moderators on forums had to handle maybe 100 messages per day. They knew the context of each discussion thread and could make pretty well-considered and nuanced moderating decisions.

Twitter receives something like 500 million tweets per day. So if you had a million paid moderators, maybe they would be able to keep up with the sheer volume. And then you'd still get people arguing either side, too much or too little moderation/censorship. Corporate bias would be attributed, rightly or wrongly, just as it is now.
Get rid of the mandatory account please. I have no need for a twitter account because I have no need to follow people or tweet myself. Why do I need an account.
How to grow a B2B SaaS startup
To provide a little more info. It is possible to request a freeze on your info, but of course they make it annoying. They appear to be sourcing the data from payroll management systems like ADP. Your organization might not even be aware that they're sharing and selling your paycheck information.

Libertarianism is about letting the free market decide and the government not putting its thumb on one industries over the other.
I wonder if that's why I tend to do better at job interviews with a mild bit of entheogens in me.

> Sketchy pornographic websites do have advertisers, just extremely low value ones.

Somehow other websites with copious amounts of pornographic content, like twitter and reddit, get a pass on this "sketchy" characterization.
That you can write code. That's a positive signal. There's a reason FizzBuzz exists.
This right here is the juice. Generic management advice is like relationship advice. Be honest, care about the other person, respect the other person and so on. But anyone that's been in a relationship knows it's way more about breathing deep twice when you see the dishes not clean or whatever annoys you than the rest of it. Obviously you need to try and be honest, but good outcomes are created first and foremost from adequately dealing with daily situations in a balanced manner.

There's no playbook for being a good manager the same way there's no playbook for being a good partner or a good parent. The playbook would have to be too generic or too specific and end up being mostly useless.

Best you can get is someone who genuinely tries to improve and listens to you because they seem to care about you. If that takes the form of "how was your weekend" in the beginning of a 1-1 or having your back in a compensation review, that all depends on the situations.
The drivetrain is basically a commodity too, a much simpler component than an engine. Unlike with legacy vehicles people will be hard pressed to feel the difference.

Based on teardowns Tesla is innovating here but even if they have an edge it is a tiny one (single digit percentage) because of diminishing returns.
Well, as the parent commenter noted, Stark and Musk aren't sufficiently similar to be indistinguishable. Even if Stark was modeled after Musk... one of the latter's key elements is that he is quite charismatic and likable.
The slide rule cartel is using our site to push it's propaganda
I had no problem getting my colonoscopy without drugs, and I recommend considering this route. It's very cool to see what's going on—how often do you get to see your appendix? Discomfort was minimal; I get more pain from my abdominal workout at the gym. (Although I suspect my doctor was unusually good.) For the most part, it was kind of like watching a procedure on TV, with occasional reminders that I was the subject: "You're watching in Cramp-O-Vision!" It was nice to have zero recovery time and drive home.

If your only rule for how to moderate your platform is "what is legal", how do you scale that out internationally where there are significantly varying standard for what legal speech is?

It's easy to point to 'oppressive' countries like China (where twitter is banned), or Turkey[1], or India[2] as examples of where speech can be severely limited, but there are many limitations to speech in other countries like Germany, Canada, France, Australia, UK.

When you make a globally available website, how do you "follow the law" when the laws of various countries are not compatible with each other? Do you geolock all tweets - Canada twitter is vastly different to US twitter? That doesn't sound scalable good!

I could, but this really isn't the place for it. Please just imagine that the constant emotional conditioning you have experienced from one-sided news and opinion pieces may not be the best way to understand half of the country.
It's currently the same, but inverse audience in the majority. Whether or not one sees it as favorable depends on individual bias.

Outside of publicly traded crypto companies you need to talk to a third party recruiter in that space

Solana Labs, for example, one of many, was paying engineers $650,000 back in 2019-2020 (and still is) to mostly write in Rust. Compensation was ~$200k cash and $1.6-$2 million in Solana tokens vesting 3-4 years with 1 year cliff. Solana tokens were $.10 cents back then, so those engineers are sitting on like $100 million+ as Solana trades at $100/sol now, down from $250/sol.

For more typical results, companies that pay in crypto only have a few employees so giving them all a few million dollars in their much smaller less successful crypto still results in being able to liquidate close to the notional value they started with, derisking your time and coming out ahead in general. A “tiny” crypto is still like a $30 million marketcap. Even the $300 million marketcap ones are considered tiny. Market depth / liquidity is usually enough to support a few million dollars of periodic employee sell pressure.
But Elon has stated numerous times his reason for the takeover is not for economic reasons. He's not doing this for money, he has zero desire to turn this into a very profitable company (watch his TED talk interview). He's doing this to protect free speech.
Twitter workers are busy applying band aids when Musk proposes a chemo.
Easy—you recognize that there is no fundamental distinction, for purposes of government, between belief systems that are based on asserted moral axioms, whether or not they’re traditionally classified as “religion.”

To use abortion as an archetypal example: a fetus’s right to life is traditionally coded as “religious” and a woman’s right to autonomy is traditionally coded as “secular” but they’re both just assertions in competing belief systems. Neither of those things are scientific truths that will turn up in an autopsy—much less any conclusions you draw about how to strike a balance between the two. Thus there is no necessarily libertarian take on abortion. In a free society that recognizes that morality may be the basis for law, there is no real way to keep the government out of abortion; only to ensure that competing moral views are reconciled democratically: https://reason.com/2015/08/14/sorry-rand-paul-haters-pro-lif....

Likewise many contemporary conservative debates have to do with what public schools (the State) teach kids against the wishes of parents. These teachings, for the most part, are not scientific truths like evolution or climate change, but rather unfalsifiable moral assertions. The true libertarian solution here would be something like school vouchers, but taking public schools as a given, it’s wholly consistent for libertarians to side with religious parents against State schools that want to teach their kids a particular moral framework.

Conservatives and libertarians are different. But it’s 2022, and the alignment of contemporary conservative political causes is different than in 1992.
> If you see toxic Tweets, that's because you follow people who post toxic Tweets or engage with toxic Tweets

Or you follow people who post (relatively innocuous) things that enrage the sorts of people who post angry comments in response to opinion points.

Ah. The red pill argument. I’m surprised I didn’t connect these dots more clearly until now.

You worship a false god.
Nobody can be an example of tolerance that has a problem with formal or informal modes of communication. It will never be true or believable.
It worked, and I thought this was cool. To save people time, it would be great if you gave an explainer on how it works xD
Amen.

But.. Bittorrent is actually about 20 years old. Maybe getting on for 25.
VTVL rockets existed before SpaceX. In fact SpaceX started by hiring engineers which had been working on the same thing at Blue Origin. SpaceX also got a bunch of funding from NASA to develop exactly this thing.

I think if it wasn’t for SpaceX this technology would still exist today, just developed by a different company (or even NASA them selfs if they were so inclined). SpaceX just happened to be the right company at the right time with the right engineers onboard to reap the benefits afterwards.
It's one of the reasons that sub duty is a double volunteer system. You volunteer to be in the Navy, then you volunteer to be a submariner. You really need to want to do it.
> To what extent should one allow suboptimal solutions

100% of the time. After all you can't count yourself being there to 'save the day' every single time, so whats the point of interfering here and there randomly.
Similar feeling. These principles somehow do not help me make decisions or build mechanisms for my teams. On the other hand, the principles in the book Turn the Ship Around, the book No Rules Rule, and Amazon's 14 leadership principles helped me a lot because they give clear guidelines on how to make trade-offs. In particular, Turn the Ship Around advocates pursuing excellence instead of minimizing errors. Netflix advocates Freedom and Responsibility. Amazon advocates working backwards (customer obsession) and making two-way door decisions. More importantly, they prescribe a system to balance trade-offs especially when there's conflicting choices. For instance, Turn the Ship Around explores how to make sure everyone delivers yet the leader can fully delegate responsibilities -- it's not surprising that it requires a system.

I like how every time US has absolutely nothing to do with regime change and somehow the wiki page on that is mile-long. I guess this ok, because there are obviously "civilized" countries with proper morals and other countries that are eager to do a transition to democracy, just in need of a little push. With Yanukovich, it was already a democracy, almost a right one but not exactly

Whataboutism is about dropping the subject in favor of an unrelated topic, which is different from calling out double standards. I have a convenient example of the latter - the events that are unfolding right now on Solomon islands. Would you think threatening a sovereign nation for entering a military alliance while talking about Ukraine's freedom of association is hypocrisy? Please note that this not an attempt to justify the war, just questioning moral integrity

>the not-very-well-concealed assassinations

Wholly agree here, their incompetence is staggering

>Russia is one of the most ethnically segregated countries

What are you talking about? I lived most of my life in Russia and this is a ridiculous statement. Have you been to Moscow?

>You don't have to aggressively "sway" public opinion like that when the truth is on your side.

I am sorry to say that, but if you find your media tells truth and only truth that you can't question, it's time to get suspicious. I am saying that as someone who watched freedom of press deteriorating over the last 20 years

>I really hope you're kidding

I am. That was a phrase from a meme and I couldn't resist using it, sorry :)
Isn't the tax exemption for separation of church and state reasons? Remove them and religion will require political representation? (Source: vague memory of something from the West Wing.)
But Elon has stated numerous times his reason for the takeover is not for economic reasons. He's not doing this for money, he has zero desire to turn this into a very profitable company (watch his TED talk interview). He's doing this to protect free speech (from his point of view).
Though I haven't tried it, I understand that some people do development inside a Docker container, so maybe you don't need to run Linux on your desktop?

It seems like a trick that's worth learning.
Only somewhat related, but when reading docs/comments that mention some method `class.method`, it's annoying when that's ambiguous and could mean either a static method or an instance method.

In the Ruby world, I think they have the convention of writing `class#method` in docs/comments when mentioning an instance method, and `class.method` when mentioning a static method.
he said boring tunnel fair would be 1$..

boring company would make tunnels faster then anyone else..
This doesn’t seem right. I would think that the SEC would be more interested in his Twitter account if he actually owned the company. If anything it leads to more scrutiny right?
Oh man, this is so confusing, and affects any American citizen/PR living abroad. In China, there are a bunch of weird kickbacks on your paycheck (e.g. public medical insurance cash benefit) that you have to be careful to document as income on your American tax return. And the whole mess of dealing with social security taxes.

Nope, doesn't work. Then you have to trust that the programmer who wrote the assembler didn't make any mistakes. Real programmers program in octal.
Do you happen to not receive Twitter's "recommendations"? I follow your steps religiously and I still get constantly bombarded by terrible "we think you'll like this" notifications that cannot be turned off.
I believe everything billionaires say
I don’t know why this is such a meme. According to elon basically him, jb and martin eberhard founded tesla which was a holding company that acquired AC propulsion and the basic IP.

Regardless, of how you label it Elon created Tesla and there is no Tesla without elon.

You don't need the concept of "time value of money" to value a perpetual stream of payments.

Intuitively, only a sucker would pay $1,000,000,000,000 for the promise of $1 per year in perpetuity, even in the absence of discounted cash flows.
I was at expo 2010; in one day you saw more people than you usually see in a year amongst architecture rivaled only by Dubai.
Whatever the case, if I worked at twitter I'd be very worried about downsizing, his ambitions are not what the board was likely put in place to accomplish (growth growth growth).

People often say this, and it's frequently based on a false assumption that people don't like Elon for valid reasons. Who told you I don't respect him for his technical acumen?
If you follow more than 100 people the signal to noise ratio becomes unbearable.

I think Yishan wrong, at least in the case of Reddit.

> They would like you to stop squabbling over stupid shit and causing drama so that they can spend their time writing more features and having to adjudicate your stupid little fights.

There is a community on Reddit that is currently at risk of being banned according to the admins. The community is a heavily moderated location to respectfully discuss controversial topics, one that is fairly insular and doesn’t advertise itself, and takes pride in respectful and nuanced discussion.

They regularly have innocuous posts removed, while nearly all posts with truly dangerous ideas stay up — we can attribute that to one-off moderation errors, but repeated threats from the admins cannot be.

The admin threats seem related to a specific issue which is not even in the top five most controversial things discussed on the subreddit. They’ve made it clear that any discussion on the topic is unacceptable, no matter how civil.

I literally can’t tell if this is a joke. I’m going to treat it as earnest, because even if you’re trolling this is HN and every mention of cryptocurrency will get _someone_ nodding along in support.

Censorship resistance is only meaningful if there are actual people exchanging ideas and building community. Cryptocoin and 100% free speech is a perfect recipe to create an online space even more dominated by trolls, bots, and conspiracy theorists than Twitter is today.

Unfortunately, between Musk’s obvious enjoyment of manipulating markets however he can and Dorsey’s increasing focus on dWeb/Web3/“magic crypto sprinkles” I imagine they will run full speed towards more or less exactly the model you describe.

“Every tweet is an NFT now! Popular accounts charge Twitcoin to follow them! Advertisers can pay people Twitcoin to follow and retweet!” Etc. Etc.
> I remember when I tried the first iPhone in 2007. Sure, it wasn't super fast, the screen was small and pixelated by today's standards, but I remember going "Holy shit, this is amazing." It was easy to see its utility on the first use of it.

For the dumpster fire that it was (mostly imo due to hardware decisions / public perception), I had that same reaction with Google Glass.

It was super nice being able to see messages as they came in doing various tasks. Being able to ask random questions and get visual responses, rather than an assistant reading you a random snippet from the result that it thinks is appropriate. Or being able to almost-instantly snap a pic or record a quick video.

All of it felt like a game changer due to me not having to take my hands away from whatever I was doing or try to crane my neck and wrist to get my watch to display.

I think that in the coming years Apple/Google will come out with another similar device. I don't think phones as we know them now will go away overnight in favor of these devices though. But instead they will be essentially a different smartwatch form factor for a while.
My approach so far is to be very very allowing —- until any failure becomes apparent and it can “naturally be discussed” (or it causes problems with colleagues in the group).

This can be quite stressful though — I do not think the people reporting to me understands how much energy is spent as a manager negotiating with others in order to give the team and team members the most space/maneuverability that is possible.
This is a good point. I bet a lot of people who assume that since they process their thoughts verbally in their head that all of their thoughts are word based, but there had to be some function under that stringing the words together to express the thoughts verbally.

It would be like your Operating System thinking that it performed the computations it needed to show this web browser on your screen without the help of the CPU.
