> Marjory Taylor Greene is an elected rep too, but many would agree that she’s not someone to cite.

Many people are childish and it is now fashionable to stick your fingers in your ears and try to make the thing you don't like disappear instead of dealing with it. Once upon a time citing did not imply agreement. Sometimes reality is icky.

> You seem to be seeing this through the lens of “two sides”.

I'm seeing it through the lens of "no sides". Try putting politics aside.

> If I fall down some conspiracy rabbit hole, protest by unlawfully shutting down a city for a month, ignore an injunction, and encourage others to do the same while ignoring warnings about the consequences, I sure as hell expect that the government will come after me.

I wonder why you think only people with politics that differ from yours (and therefore are clearly wrong) are susceptible to this behavior and members of your tribe are somehow immune.

> There was no “pandoras box” opened. The legislature authorized the PM to act in a limited way to end an unlawful protest. Those powers have expired, and could have been rescinded at any time.

It seems you are under the impression you need to convince me.

Many people would say otherwise, to use your parlance. Alas, Mark Strahl is still an MP, even if he spreads lies. Marjory Taylor Greene somehow got elected. They have supporters. You need to convince them.

Is it getting easier or harder? What will happen when they regain power? Something to ruminate on.

And not only the "fringe" or conservatives but even people who might agree with your politics directionally might disagree with the heavy handedness and perceived slide into authoritarianism. It is as if your perceptions are not the only ones that matter even if undoubtably you're right of course.

> The dangerous precedent isn’t the seizure of money. It’s using foreign bankrolls to pay for a destabilizing protest movement to use industrial equipment to shut down major infrastructure and cities while ignoring the rule of law.

Presumably it could be both. You could have multiple ongoing problems. And in a heavy handed attempt to solve one exacerbate others. I really hope it sinks in but I'm quite afraid you'll just reply again about how bad the people you don't like are.

How about me trying? "Get your CV up to date, ping your network and listen real hard. Cuz you might have to act before the horde exits from the place."
> All it takes is "caring enough to put in a bit of effort to figure out how to do it."

Which points to the statement "Serious cyberattacks on industrial equipment aren’t common and take significant knowledge to prepare" being true.

The primary reason probably being that there are more profitable and more easily exploitable targets out there. Why go for the anything but the low-hanging fruit first?

Conflict situations (invasion, war, pandemic) change priorities pretty significantly.
Huh, I thought the email list stuff happened before he was fired. Guess not.

The culture didn't last long - people usually fight back at the mobs now, who have died off some. Now it only exists in minor extremist form where leftists (anti-Epstein conspiracists) and rightists (many other kinds of conspiracists) go around calling random people pedophiles. Twitter still doesn't ban them if you report them though.

Also, that research he quoted is from a Black researcher (Omar Wasow) who is still around tweeting himself and seems well respected.
Sure, if you don't want people to look at your code, don't make it public?

I'd argue with you that a GitHub profile could be a useful signal, but it's not a given.

As a hiring manager:

- If they don't have a GH profile, I won't ding them.

- If they add it to the resume, and it's a scrap yard, I won't ding them.

- If they add it to the resume, and it's well maintained, I will ask questions about it.

- If they add it to the resume, and it's clearly deception, I will have a negative perception.

I feel like most hiring managers take this approach.
I wonder what it's like to have absolutely no fear of consequences.
Why would he need to mention freedom of speech?

He is praising the economic growth of China, which is a fact. It did grow a lot.

What would he say?

"The economic prosperity that China has achieved is truly amazing, despite lacking freedom of speech"??
Perhaps the best solution would be to be vaxxed so far that when you do get Omicron or one of its descendants that it's mild. Afterwards, you'll have both vaccine and natural immunity for (wildly?) different versions of Covid. Pending another mutation or three that makes things worse, this is sorta the best-case for turning an epidemic -> endemic (see Flu).
> it's better to have one centibillionaire own it instead

Did I write that? I find it endlessly fascinating when people think in black and white and come back with some kind of false dilemma because I was able to make an entirely legitimate and obvious criticism.

I've a better question: is there anyone worse to own Twitter than the Saudi royal family?

I think so but there aren't many.
LineageOS 19 Released
I mean.. what does russia gain? Even worse political relations? Germany will fix it system in a day or two, and then what? Does anyone actually expect them to ditch wind power and buy russian gas after russia hacking them?

Realistically... by stirring the shit up in europe, the country that gains the most is.. well.. USA. Do something, blame russia, make EU economy worse, worsen the relations, make european countries stop production due to energy crisis, sell them american products, and if things get even worse, sell weapons, maybe even to both sides if things get desparate enough, watch europe destroyed again while their own economy gets a great boost.
There are literal mob calls to get people killed, like that Pakistani woman who was accused of "blasphemy" against Islam a few weeks back. I think twitter would have done something about all those users tweeting she should be hanged if she were American and had the right sort of identity but like this they don't even care.
At the time the poison pill is setup no shareholder has the threshold. If you buy more shares and cross the threshold you did so in full knowledge of the effect.

If the pill were activated and you were diluted out you could sue over the economic harm e.g. that they effectively stole half your position-- and you'd quite possible be reimbursed for the dilution. But you'd be more or less back where you started, minus the mountain paid to lawyers and still without ownership of the company.

Keep in mind, these poison pills aren't really intended to prevent acquisition. They're intended to prevent an inequitable acquisition via takeover where the existing shareholders might have to sue to get a fair treatment. E.g. elon getting enough control that he can pick the board (which takes less than 51% of the shares due to voting power effects)... then the elon controlled board agrees to sell the rest of the company for a less equitable price but not so outrageous that the other shareholders would have an easy time suing over it.

> What if there was some minority shareholder that the other owners disliked for some reason, could they force them out too? Or this power is restricted to particular circumstances?

Diluting out small share holders happens with some regularity in smaller companies. They could sue over it-- but it usually happens when there isn't a lot of value in the company itself and if they failed to push out an old shareholder the company wouldn't continue. So the party being diluted can only really choose between letting it happen or fighting it and getting their fair share of nothing minus legal expenses.
I'm afraid it will likely be the opposite. The downtrodden will escape to the metaverse where they can indulge in luxuries they'll never be able to experience in the real world, meanwhile real, tangible objects and experiences will command a premium pricetag and will be the playthings of the affluent.

People will rent digital objects and transfer real world wealth to the elite in order to do so.

Obviously, unless we manage to somehow get usable sea-water based batteries, any mass-market battery technology will have a tremendous impact on the environment.

The problem is not manganese or lithium, it is the mass production and consumption, unregulated vehicle growth (in size and weight), all of this encouraged by pro-cars regulations, the US being the worst offender.
The way you're using "end to end encryption" is confusing: many applications of TLS are end-to-end, since they involve a user communicating with a server (rather than a server brokering communications between multiple users).

It doesn't make a lot of sense to standardize E2EE outside of a specific use case, since the "end" is subject to semantic squabbling. That being said, there's an IETF working group (do they count as a web standards group?) actively developing a standard E2EE messaging protocol[1].

> he's essentially a Borg with a malfunctioning emotions implant

He was bullied as a child, and your comment is probably true about many autistic people.

I'd say Elon is using free speech for populist reasons and will not deliver a Twitter with true free speech (he is too insecure and besides almost nobody would ever use a platform like that), but no need for personal attacks (it just points at your own insecurities).

It’s a fine idea, but ignores the importance of typesetting and design for print.

I’m sure plenty of people would want something like this regardless, but the product would usually look much less polished than people expect to see in printed and bound materials and that would reflect on the authors/editors.

Authors and editors who take pride in the presentation of their work might be a hard sell.
It seems you don't understand the question. I understand that the board can decide value per share. Basically everyone in this thread said this at least once, which is unnecessary, since that's basically what was stated in the root post, and that's why I asked the question in the first place! The question is how this is supposed to be fair. Because, once again, if you make me to sell my property for anything less than I want to sell it for — yes, it totally does sound like a robbery. Again, kinda by definition (I paid money to own some entity; if you want to become the owner of what I own, you have to pay what I ask for it — this is basically how all trading works).

So, once more, my question is: what is the underlying legal idea, that makes this supposedly "fair deal"?
Spoken like someone who doesn't have the first clue what things are like elsewhere. Housing in Canada is horrendously expensive and prices are going up far faster than anyone could possibly save money. The median house price is now something like ten times the median household income. On top of that, rents have gone up just as quickly and people are left with no additional income once their basic expenses are paid for.
New York State Embraces Community Broadband
From a legal perspective, it will depend on the details of their RSU contracts. It varies widely, but generally speaking these are written in ways that give employers shockingly few rights. The RSUs at the FAANG that I worked for had all sorts of things in their contract, including that the employer could, at vesting time, choose to deliver either more or fewer shares than the number of vesting units at their sole and absolute discretion. (I spent many years employed by that FAANG, and could not find any employee or former-employee who ever received any number of shares other than exactly the number they expected -- but it was called out very clearly in the documents)

From a "Twitter is a going concern" perspective, the company and its technology function today. In a non-functioning state, the assets have materially less value. As in effectively zero value. Therefore, it is in the interests of the new controlling owner to see to it that enough of the current employees remain at least long enough for a decision to be made about which of these employees are wanted long-term.

As a result, I anticipate that efforts will be undertaken to see that employees are made close-enough to whole that there is not a larger mass-exodus than the change in the political party of the senior leadership is likely to generate on its own, more or less regardless of whether the employees have any shareholder rights in their RSU contracts.
Agreed! Just for a fun read, you might enjoy this collection they put out a few years ago...

Make it private like you are doing?

If you don't want someone to perceive something about you, then don't make it public. If you do make it public and add it to a resume then don't be surprised if the person who manages programmers is interested in possibly looking at the programming that person has done.

I proposed that you can tinker in public if you make sure your tinkering won't be confused for your magnum opus. You dismissed that because a one sentence readme isn't needed on a public side project.

It's a pervasive and substantial problem in the US Navy atm. The various collisions, groundings, and sabotage in recent years indicates that. The root of it is the navy is being operated at a tempo that it has insufficient ships and sailors to properly maintain. But congress and leadership keep this mess going.

> I would argue that hate just like love is a choice you make.

And I would argue that's a simplistic way of looking at something massively complicated.

I would say that you have boiled "hate" down to something facile that can be solved with just "being the bigger person" and getting over yourself, when the reality is that's not going to work for a lot of people.

Guess what - I have first-hand experience of people trying to stay together and do the right thing for the children, and to move past it. They were both miserable for most of the time they were doing this, and so was everyone else around them.

> If you have the emotional capacity to choose to love and respect your partner instead of hating them or a way to regain that capacity

Right, and for those that don't, or those that try and fail?
Your solution of "just stop hating each other" is wishful thinking.

And to get back to the whole point of the thread, not a good reason to force people to stay together, and a perfectly valid reason to get divorced. You want the best outcome for the kids, cooping two adults up together in a house who can't stand the sight of each other is not a way to achieve that.

Can some people move past hating each other? Probably. That doesn't mean it's good for the kids if society tries to force everyone to do that.
I have a Twitter account I don’t use much, not sure how this might affect that. I do think the internet is missing a pure communication channel like the emergency broadcast system. If Musk can create a true open or transparent platform could he potentially make it a non-profit? People might balk at the idea he’d spend so much to take it private but that would be iconic. Who’s done something to alter the internet as we know it like this if he goes down the public service non-profit route? If he goes the other direction, I’d love to see how he could make it profitable; but does he have to???
If you don't pay the bill, it doesn't cost you anything either.

Really not trying to be a dick here, but why are we even arguing over Twitters content moderation policies? The companies that run social media can legally censor and remove publicly, and privately, posted content. They can also ban, suspend, or limit users, for pretty much any reason.
You realize those areas are nowhere close to the jobs? If you're looking for a job in Toronto, the closest place with an actual house under $450k is likely Windsor, which is around five hours away. Across southern Ontario right now the average price of a house is roughly a million dollars. Five hours is much too far to commute for work on a regular basis and a lot of jobs still require you to be there in person. Some things simply can't be done remotely.

I know this doesn't answer your question but I believe it's a long-standing tradition on many navy and civilian vessels across the world. I only know mariners on oil-producing vessels in Australia but they have all talked about that 6-hour roster. Others will know more than me, but I don't believe this is unique to US Navy.
Sketchfab is great if you're looking for a more professional solution. They have a great display to view (or embed) anywhere. Otherwise, any file sharing service would do I presume.
I don't think I was and I promise you my intent wasn't to be xenophobic. I make no judgement about how the US governs itself but it's important to point out, and Elon Musk has a track record of not understanding this, following the law and regulations isn't optional.

And if I understood Elon correctly by the way, the reason he took Twitter over in the first place is precisely because he considers it 'the public town square' that everyone is forced to use.

twitter publicly supported it but never reflected in its actual behaviour
The right pretends that they are persecuted on Twitter without evidence that Twitter has been biased in one or the other direction.
No, I think what they're suggesting is preventing actors from creating thousands of accounts and having bots run them. Although it's not as easy as accounts can still be bought or hacked of course.

There are some approaches that suggest something similar as you say, not for every post but an occasional proof that you're human, like once a month. Check out IDENA.
This article is an opinion piece on https://www.theregister.com/2022/04/21/machine_learning_mode... which is actually the more interesting one.

I know things are tough right now but it will get better. Prices won't stay this high forever. They always come down eventually. Be patient and save your money.

The US is currently better off with a weakened Russia.

EU <-> Russia relations are about as bad as they can get short of open war, trying to make them worse is somewhere between meaningless and self-destructive for the US. If the US wanted to escalate they have easier ways.

Russia is better off when the alternatives to their energy are poorly performing or nonexistant.

Don't make it more complicated than it is. You can go round-and-round all day with: it looks like A did it, but oh that's what they _want_ me to think, or maybe _that's_ what they want me to think. Really 9 times out of 10 it's the obvious.
If the Topic suggestions are any indication, I would have 0 faith in Twitter's ability to accurately group together similar replies.
Why not a web extension?

Why use a ENS/Namecoin versus a petname solution like GNS?

I like the idea of such a browser integration, but I don't see this actually being used. Perhaps you could have upstreamed those as experimental features in firefox/Torbrowser.

Edit: I suppose you could upstream it to brave, they are very crypto-friendly. Also, no Linux support?

I don't know why but I always find C/C++ libraries' documentation to be god awful to read compared to say Python or even JS libraries. An auto generated dump of javadoc comments is a terrible introduction.

For example, if I want to open an image [1], it shows what I need to build the plugin but it doesn't have any code samples on how to use it. The constructor requires an manager -- what's that? After importing, how do I get the texture buffer? I'm sure all of this info is somewhere on the docs but I shouldn't have to search for something that should all be on the same page.
