Great news. While this whole saga has built a sense of a trainwreck waiting to happen, I think this is the best result that everyone involved could have walked away with.

I have no doubt about Elon's intentions about what he plans to fix about Twitter the product, but I certainly don't expect things to go smoothly with wrangling Twitter the organization to actually achieve those results.

Tesla and SpaceX were built from the ground up with his personal principles in mind, and I think it will be quite the roller coaster for him to bring in the same sense of passion, discipline, and efficiency to Twitter. Twitter's inability to address many of its own longstanding issues is surely caused by a lack of will to do so. Turning around this ship will be no easy feat.
I was going to spend some time justifying my rental portfolio but alas I fear it will fall on deaf ears.

Thank you for your somewhat constructive criticism. I'm sorry to hear that you feel that way. Given your username, I assume you are just as worldly as I am. In that case, I hope your HODLing habits lead to success. Eventually, you will become the same "evil" that you despise... you will eventually become... me. HODL!!
I mean I have a dedicated iPad Mini 2 in my kitchen that I use Paprika [0] on, that feels pretty much in line with what was predicted (I don't do my calendaring or taxes on it but still). I know I'm far from alone in having this setup, multiple friends and family members use the same thing. Even growing up we had an older laptop in the kitchen for looking up recipes and the like (though that was very much so an outlier among my friends and their parents at that time).

No, there are blatantly obvious things about packaging software that you are missing.

- you will need a copy of each platform running in order to build the binary
- it's X-times++ as much work to package for X number of platforms.
- The code you chose might not compile well on all platforms without code changes.
- Dependency conflicts can be a pain.

oh boy, i could go on.
You mean advertisers who would be willing to target consumers who dislike how the incredibly rich have disproportionately large control of the economy?

You also have advertisers willing to target the outrage crowd, so they would also stand to gain from the post.

Not all advertisers care about the things that advertisers from companies like Disney or the NFL care about.

You suppose a lot of things in your reasoning that you don't back up with any data or references and then you use this to discredit the institution based on a popular science article. It doesn't really make much sense.
Yes, "legacy free" Google Workspace. I have two accounts (one closed by now, both for non-commercical, not used by company, more like family/friends).

Due it's just personal stuff.. no important documents etc.. It's not a big loss. But time is ticking against to us - who are trying to get away from "legacy free Google Workspaces"
Which is something I would think someone who assesses people based on how much they know Github.....should probably know

How ironic ;)
Elon Musk and Twitter Reach Deal for Sale
It's worth taking a look at the balance sheet of a bank. Most of them will have credit card receivables. A lot of them. No collateral. They'll also have all kinds of unsecured loans.

Banks were never taking much in the way of risk. It's not what they are there for. They are and always have been there to take depositors money and make low risk loans. It is what it is.

They've had this for years. Press the "swish" (stars) button top right.
I'd recommend taking a look at AWS' serverless offerings - specifically API gateway and python lambda backend fxns. You get exactly what you need, nothing you don't and its extremely quick to get set up.
The headline implies that normal user traffic bypasses the firewall. When in fact, it's only apple system traffic. Still not great, but way less bad than if the VPN was actually bypassed for all traffic:

"It is worth noting that Private Relay (mostly) disables itself as soon as any firewall rule is added to PF (the system firewall on macOS devices). The Mullvad VPN app does add firewall rules. Once you connect the Mullvad app, Private Relay announces that it has disabled itself. We see no correlation between user traffic and the leaking packets. We believe they are just some heartbeat signal calling home to Apple. We do not know what information is transmitted to Apple, but since the destination is Apple servers, it is a strong signal to your local network and ISP that you might be a macOS user."
Honest question : In which ways has Musk given the impression he is pro-Trump?
The rule of law applies to a government as well as any other body, organization, firm or person.

That's the most fundamental difference between a democratic country and authoritarian & tyrannical regimes.

You can sue the US government in US courts and to some extent in international courts.

Not that democratic governments don't abuse their power. They do quite regularly, but still: even their use of force is limited by the law.
I would not say that "we in tech make enough". with the crazy high cost of housing, health care, education, and more, it's no longer clear that people in tech make enough. people in the baby boomer generation could say that with much more confidence than our generation can.
That does not prove anyone nowdays refers to Czechs or gypsies as Bohemians. Bohemia is not even made fun of within czech republic, there are no special negative stereotypes or oppression made to it. They call themselves czechs, they don't tend to refer to themselves as bohemians.

On the contrary, what is happening is the hard reality of MIT based compilers when downstream doesn't care about improving upstream language compliance.

I generally want to find people who have done more than just CRUD UIs, and show some passion about the technology they've built and worked with.

CRUD stands for Create, Read, Update, Delete. Isn't every UI, at some level, a CRUD UI? A wiki is a CRUD UI. A recipe tracker is a CRUD UI. A custom CMS for a community organization is a CRUD UI. A custom web forum is a CRUD UI. Facebook is a CRUD UI.

Someone could reimplement Mediawiki, and you'd reject them because "it's just a CRUD UI?"
And... Twitter accepted the offer.
Yeah the web was much more usable when you could change it with some simple and intuitive edits to .Xresources.

> didn't realise that they can get personally liable for billions of dollars of loss for shareholders and go to court for years if they don't at least consider the offer

It is ludicrous to believe that, even if this were true BEFORE the Musk bid came in, they were not consulting with corporate counsel AFTER and in conjunction with issuing the poison pill.

As others have said, it is frequently used as a negotiating tactic and will usually pop up somewhere along the way in any unsolicited takeover situation. Just like the simple act of saying "no" is often a negotiating tactic and not a true statement of someone's unwavering intent.
> After the past few weeks, can you imagine the public outcry if regulators tried imposing any limits at all?

Au contraire this makes it much harder for him to use it to manipulate the market. It would be like Bloomberg manipulating his other company stock.

Maybe he just wants to use the userbase to turn it to a payments platform
In general, we should indeed try to eat less fish -- just as we should try to eat less farmed meat -- particularly the high-up-the-food-chain species like salmon, and any seafood that is fished with destructive methods like bottom trawling. The effects on the earth's ecosystems of our industrial fishing practices are absolutely devastating.

>Also "incitement to illegal conduct and imminent lawless action" is also illegal in the U.S. it just gets interpreted a little different.

I'd say its more than a little different. The US definition is pretty narrow and immediate. You can't get on a megaphone and tell a crowd to go kill some guy right now.

>Except for nearly all the other countries in Europe, Canada etc.

It's all down to opinion of course but those nations do not have sensible freedom of speech. They pay lip service to the idea but will gladly jail people for saying things the government doesn't like but otherwise harmless or victim less.
The point is that Mississippi and Denmark agree on the core moral question of when a fetus is developed enough that the fetal life outweighs individual autonomy in the ordinary case. Both draw the line at the end of the first trimester, when the fetus has a face, hands, fingers, and begins sucking its thumb. This is a fundamental difference from Roe, which draws the line at the end of the second trimester, at viability.

Moreover, both agree that there are extenuating circumstances that can change the balance in specific cases. And they agree on the particular extenuating circumstances that are most likely to arise: risk of severe deterioration to woman's physical health, and fetal abnormalities.

All you're pointing out is that Denmark recognizes additional extenuating circumstances for special cases. Specifically, the health exception covers the risk of "severe deterioration of woman's physical or mental health." But note that the "risk to a woman's life or to her physical or mental health should be based solely or principally on circumstances of a medical character." The other grounds for second trimester abortions require unanimous approval from a special committee: https://cyber.harvard.edu/population/abortion/Denmark.abo.ht.... They are not an open-ended exception to allow second trimester abortions in ordinary cases.
I have a very cynical take on this. Assume that the board members are acting for the board members, no one else.

If Elon buys Twitter, what happens to the board? Well, he can fire them all. They may prefer to remain board members, with the money and power that comes from that. So the poison pill, while it may be offered in the name of "protecting" the existing shareholders, is really a way for the existing board to remain in power.

But that won't work if the offer is good enough that the existing shareholders want to take it. Then the poison pill becomes something the shareholders don't like, because it prevented them from doing what they want. Depending on how badly the existing shareholders wanted the offer, the board may not remain in power that way either.

Note well: There may be details in the way all this went down that don't fit in my cynical little narrative. But absent knowledge of those details, this is my suspicion of what's really driving the poison pill.
Free speech was all but dead between 1914 and 1918 everywhere. Not saying Luddendorff wasn't defacto military dictator, he was, just pointing out that this had no additional negative impact on free speech during this time.

Why would this be the case? There are tons of tech companies (possibly even most?) that have more than 1000 employees at the time of IPO. As far as I know there are no limits on the number of shareholders for C-corps, private or not.

This explanation just made things so much cooler. I wasn't aware of the clipboard api. (Since I never needed to use it)

In my experiment, I assumed that you did another "copy" at some point which printed the twitter URL. I came to this assumption when I pasted into Sublime Text and still saw my card, but pasting into the Address field changed the output to the twitter URL.

Kudos! This was pretty cool!
Impeding unlimited harassment is anti-free-reach. Trolls won't get banned under Musk — they're his soul mates. They will have free rein to brigade the posts of their enemies and will use massive replying at scale as a megaphone to scream others down.
Similar story for me.
It changed once i moved out of the city with kids to a residential area. Since then 3 years have passed and the quality of my social life increased dramatically. Of course this didn't just came around. I did put a lot of effort in getting new friends. But it's certainly easier in an environment where people live similar lifes.

The idea of going back to commercials makes my skin crawl. I haven't seen a single commercial while watching TV in over 5 years if not longer. Whenever I'm back home and my parents are watching sports I'm reminded of how lucky I am that I don't have to see commercials (and that I don't care for sports which doesn't have a legal OR illegal way to watch that doesn't suck).
This seems like a good reason for IT people to understand OpenBSD better, its motivations and usage patterns, given that it has had only 2 of the worst kind of security holes since ~1996, and therefore seems vastly safer against zero-days, including privilege escalation exploits, etc. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, no? https://www.openbsd.org [openbsd.org] .

(And corporations & others donating ( https://www.openbsd.org/donations.html [openbsd.org] ) to the project could also be wise, since they probably all benefit from things that come from the OpenBSD project, like openssh.

I personally would love to see how many people a person has Blocked, similar to Following/Followers number.

>Am I allowed to short TSLA or does that automatically mean I'm "trying to cash in on the failure of Tesla"?

Anybody is allowed to short TSLA, and yes, if you short them you want the value of the company to drop and you're trying to cash in on that. TSLA should continue growing if it's a successful company. I'm not aware of companies that lose stock value year after year and are considered successful.

>This kind of thing doesn't give me confidence that Musk will respect differing opinions as the owner of Twitter.

I don't think Musk's goal with the Twitter buyout is to respect opinions. He's buying Twitter so disrespectful opinions won't be taken down.

Now if he starts banning things he personally disagrees with, like the famous plane account, I'll turn on him and call him a bad guy. But I'm not going to speculate nefarious reasons he's buying Twitter because I have no reason to believe he'll do anything other than what he said he'll do.
It's 2,000 shareholders, and you are allowed to go above the limit, it's just that if you do, then you have to make public financial statements and in general follow all the disclosure rules and reporting requirements of a public company. Since it can be expensive to follow these requirements, especially for a startup that's not setup to do those sort of disclosures, startups will carefully avoid going over the limit. But since Twitter has already been public up until now, all the processes and institutional know-how to comply with those requirements is already in place, so continuing to comply shouldn't be too hard.
I'm not involved in this stuff and I don't know if the IA uses that particular model, although the underlying principle and math is pretty fundamental.
Their study excluded Courier New, how rude! But I love reading text with an absolute lack of kerning & multi-character sigils. (I mean this non-sarcastically just to be clear)

>“Without immediate radical action, we could be witnessing the most profound collapse of humanity into extreme poverty and suffering in memory,” said Oxfam International executive director Gabriela Bucher. “This terrifying prospect is made more sickening by the fact that trillions of dollars have been captured by a tiny group of powerful men who have no interest in interrupting this trajectory.”

Someone else being a trillionaire doesn't imply or even logically follow that someone else must be in poverty. Economics is not net-zero sum game. For someone to become a trillionaire they in fact worked with countless others and enriched them as well.

>The brief notes that a wave of governments is nearing a debt default and being forced to slash public spending to pay creditors and import food and fuel.

Venezuela, Japan, Sudan, Greece, Lebanon, Cape Verde, Libya... you don't want to be living there for either obvious reasons or upcoming reasons.

>. The world’s poorest countries are due to pay $43 billion in debt repayments in 2022, which could otherwise cover the costs of their food imports. Global food prices hit an all-time high in February, surpassing the peak crisis of 2011. Oil and gas giants are reporting record-breaking profits, with similar trends expected to play out in the food and beverage sector.

The payment on debt will always require the answer to what could have been done otherwise with those debt payments? The proposal is simply buying food. Not a bad solution is it? Who wouldn't agree with that? The problem often with crippling debt is that you end up never escaping it. Not without lots of pain, the problem with delaying the pain is that it becomes worse.

>Oxfam is calling for urgent action to tackle the extreme inequality crisis threatening to undermine the progress made in tackling poverty during the last quarter of a century:

All of their proposals are absolutely terrible. Realistically these will do harm.

How about we fix the problem? Debt. How about we balance the budget? We require by constitutional requirement for our politicians to stop filling their pockets and balance the budget?

The Marines do have a baseline of knowledge you have to obtain. There's actually two phases to it:

1. Bootcamp. You're learning all the basics, from history to troop movement, and basic weapons qualification.

2. Infantry Training Battalion. A primer on top of bootcamp for navigation, shooting, troop movement, and weapons qualification. (These are required of every Marine in order to join "The Fleet")

3. Primary/Secondary school. This is your a-billet training (your primary job).

Where most of the other training occurs is once you're in the fleet, which occurs in your first unit after Step 3. There's a moderately high attrition baseline to get to the fleet, which signifies a minimally deployable Marine.
We have to remember that a lot of people who criticize twitter don't actually use twitter.

This happens so often with so many things.

Facebook: "I haven't used Facebook in 10 years, and never bothered to unfollow things on my feed back then, but it sucks! The feed is just garbage!"

SNL: "I haven't watched SNL since the 90s. It hasn't been funny in years!"

Expensive restaurants: "I went to one Michelin star place in 2007 and it was like 3 bites of food! I don't know why people bother!"

David Sacks' take on this (thread):

„Things that must be true if Twitter’s board is ready to accept @elonmusk’s offer:

3) the pressure campaign worked.“ (cont.)

Windows doesn't come close to Linux in terms of privacy, but Linux doesn't come close to Windows in terms of reliability and professional software support (Photoshop, MS Office, etc.) without hacks and Github scripts.

For the technically-minded Linux is an option, but for everyone else Windows at least allows you to firewall off any domain you choose. Sure, you'll probably break Windows Update in some way, but the Windows kernel doesn't try to bypass your settings (yet).
