Did you look into how much work it would take to allow Cisco to accept email addresses longer than 8 chars? That is kind of my point. Like, the work to change the internal systems at Cisco does not get easier depending on who owns the company.

The idea that a problem "looks easy to solve" and therefor the problem is that the people in charge are dumb is a childish way of looking at the world. All of large companies I've worked in / with have dumb restrictions. Everyone knows they are dumb. In my experience they are sometimes right and sometimes wrong but it's true that implementing "obvious" fixes is much, much harder than you might imagine.
Fast paced cuts to wherever the most action happens this second would certainly ruin it, but somehow I doubt that a true representation of how little happens in a single camera angle would be the answer. Setting the parameters for sighting rarity would still be a form of, well, creativity?

Not everybody expects their partner to share their political beliefs. There is a reason we let married men and women vote independently for themselves.
It's much too reductive a framing, IMO. Public sector spending is not, majorly, an "outgoing" of "the UK" in any reasonably comparable way to an individual's spend - rather, public sector money generally funds services within the UK which employ individuals who a) pay income taxes directly b) spend their income in other parts of the economy, where VAT/corporation tax/etc feed back to HMRC, and companies profit and grow.

It's really nothing like an "I've spent £5 on a beer and now that fiver is gone forever" outgoing, in scale or effect.
He is doing this because it's his main communication channel and it's of extreme importance that it remains under his control.
How can it be worse? If all Elon did was buy it, fire everyone and liquidate the assets it would be an improvement. Twitter as it stands today is a tool that is being used by nefarious actors to shape the narrative in the US. This is a fact. It's a massive gaslighting and astroturfing operation.

Musk, Twitter Deal to Be Valued at $44 Billion, Sources Say --WSJ

Deal to Be Announced After Market Close Monday if Not Sooner, Sources Say --WSJ

I have been in a similar position with NLP - either you already have a lot of experience (maybe even a PhD) or you're a mathematician or statistician. Otherwise you're left out.
Identity validation doesn't mean public real name. It means that Twitter has my real name so I want to create 1,000 spam accounts, it can internally see they're all one person. They could then trivially enforce a per-identity account limit, prevent trolls from re-signing up a thousand times, etc.
I think they should do a podcast together and have Cool Bear on as a guest.
It wasn't just the Reader itself (there were arguably many better RSS readers), but the fact that it was a mainstream product from a high-profile well-respected company. There being a Google Reader elevated credibility of RSS from a nerdy XML protocol into a fashionable feature you could recommend to "normal" users.

Similar thing happened with XMPP and Google Talk. There was a brief moment in time when you could use any instant messenger with any client of your choice (talk to both Facebook Messenger and Google Talk users via your own server). That also been killed off in favor of proprietary apps.

I'm trying to think of a current-day equivalent of what a shock and disappointment that was, but I'm afraid proprietary protocols and non-interoperable app silos became such a norm that nobody even expects things to work together. I expect GMail to drop IMAP support any day now.
It seems that of those, the only one that had anything to do with suspensions / bans was the Occupy accounts and those (according to the article) seem to have been tripping the "might be a bot" thresholds because of how they don't post for a long time and then all of a sudden all blast the same content from the same protests.

While they shouldn't be banned (and I'm assuming that was fixed after that article came out if in fact they were not bots), I haven't seen any examples of specific left wing accounts getting banned for posting content as many on the right have (examples: Hunter Biden stories and the NYP, anyone posting Wuhan Lab leak theory in 2020-2021, The Babylon Bee for the Rachel Levine satire posts, etc).
It's good for quippy slogans and volume-based demonstrations. One of my favorite accounts @TheWarOnCars, a pro-cycling and transit urbanist podcast, spends most of its timeline retweeting famous people complaining about traffic or parking with the phrase "@Person, welcome to the war on cars". The idea is to point out that, even people who say they love cars and promote suburban-style development, pretty clearly hate the everyday reality of living in a car-centric city when they're not talking in a political context.
One thing about Kermit- it used to be the gold standard for CLI usability: editing, history, ESC-completion and context sensitive ?-help. I think it was directly inspired by the TOPS-20 operating system.

I agree, my twitter view is very nice. Computer graphics, few authors, some dry political analysts, space stuff. If someone posts something irascible I just unfollow them (but might later refollow).
About 3000 were forcibly returned between June 2020 and June 2021, although the vast majority of those (2,809) are people convicted of a crime. Few non-criminals are forcibly returned to their point of origin once they are in the country, regardless of their immigration status. Three-quarters of people who enter immigration detention after illegally entering the country are released into the population without being returned.

It's cheaper and safer using co2 pellets propelled with ordinary air than liquid nitrogen. It gets sufficiently cold, and sufficiently abrasive to freeze, shatter, and disperse the sap and plant fats and other sticky stuff. Co2 cleaners are used in high end auto cleaning and detailing, so there's established use, safety, and equipment out there.

The use is novel, the tech is decades old.
There are different incentives and dynamics at play for a public vs. private company.

A privately owned twitter will behave very different from a public one.

Great example is that the bot problem contributes to MAU's, which impact Twitter's quarterly earnings. This means that they *can* solve the bot problem, but don't want to solve it right away lest it impact their metrics.

So ultimately the decision to take the company private will help execs stop focusing on short-term earnings and focus on long term values
Every time I've been under general anesthesia it's been a horrible experience. I usually have a severe asthma attack during recovery and have uncontrollable nausea for 3-5 days afterwards. I have certainly noticed that there are mental effects as well, but I believe they subside within 30 days. This does concern me though, because I have chronic health issues and likely will need more work as I get older.
That is the "ignore everything new" choice. You are pointing out its lack of downside. On many days I would agree. (But you didn't. You spent enough time on it for this.)

If in fact the language would have turned out to be interesting, helping out early might make the difference between its fizzling out or getting traction. And, helping out might be a chance to learn a lot, or to ensure it will scratch your itch.

In this case, for me, none of that seems likely. As usual.
Re: mid-career, no papers -- does this effectively result in ageism inside the academia? Widespread, but poorly hidden?
This is effectively the "No True Scotsman" fallacy. From a detached perspective it was quite clear that "web 2.0", with its reliance on centralized servers and centralized naming, was inevitably going to devolve into this corporate surveillance hellhole. The incentives and power holders made for a poor foundation, despite the temporary flourishing of a vibrant grassroots community that ignored this while the investors hadn't yet called in their chips.

Having said that, "web 3.0" as recently coined is the same type of middlemen-led openwashing. The real revolutionary technologies won't be hyped as some unified trend, because actual elimination of middlemen leaves no outsized investment money to pay for such hype. As always, the revolution will not be televised.

Breaking news: as people get older they seek more high paying jobs.

Honestly, I think this article should have waited a few decades more before being written so there were proper stats, or at least stuck to discussing only games where there's been pros fore more than the measly two years that's apparently the bar for getting included.
My first reaction: Say good bye to Twitter's famous WLB.

Second reaction: I think Twitter has a lot of potential still. The platform is currently stuck in the past and having a power user being in-charge would help Twitter grow again.
“Am I the only person here that finds Twitter a nice place? I'm careful about who I follow, most of whom are tech people or educators. My feed is a really nice place to go, and I can't remember the last time I read or saw anything that triggered me in the slightest.”

you sound completely braindead

“I'm seeing loads of comments about how toxic Twitter is, but isn't that on you?”

no, it isn’t

“Don't follow or engage and the algorithm will skip you over.”

no, it won’t
> The lack of upper limits on wealth accumulation ... But the power of Elon (and Zuck, and the other modern mega-billionaires) is effectively unstoppable

You're conflating two relatively unrelated things - when systems are put in place to limit wealth accumulation, there are not only still people whose power is effectively unstoppable, they're far, far more dangerous than Elon Musk or Mark Zuckerberg ever will be.

You need to be really brutal with muting anyone who creeps into your timeline and posts something you dislike, and turning off the retweets or just unfollowing people who bring the people you find yourself muting into your timeline.

Like straight away see something you don't like then hit mute.

> In 1999, after watching the rocketry biopic film October Sky, Bezos discussed forming a space company with science-fiction author Neal Stephenson.[23][24] Blue Origin was founded in 2000 in Kent, Washington, and began developing both rocket propulsion systems and launch vehicles.[25] Since the founding, the company was quite secretive about its plans[26][27] and emerged from its "self-imposed silence" only after 2015.[25]
....
As early as 2005, Bezos had discussed plans to create a vertical-takeoff and landing spaceship called New Shepard. Plans for New Shepard were initially kept quiet, but Blue Origin's website indicated Bezos' desire to, "lower the cost of spaceflight so that we humans can better continue exploring the solar system.

I had no idea. I always assumed he was inspired by SpaceX. October Sky is a great movie btw.

It wasn't like that in the early days. It felt a lot more friendly, collaborative, and that was even with manual copy/paste retweets. Feeding off of outrage machine is awful, and I'm hopeful the ideas for open algos or customizable algos is the answer to that.
a while ago i juggled 2 contracting gigs. they each paid X per hour which is a quarter to half of what you need as a full time self employed person in CA. employees in companies hiring contractors do not understand the math of self employment and thus expect unrealisticly low hourly rates. so we end up with this situation. i found that the max hourly rate for software development in general is about double of western europe. however, the cost of living there is a quarter of what it is in CA. TL;DR companies in CA in general are unaware of the enormous cost of living in CA partly driven by FAANGs. so anyone not working in FAANG ends up juggling multiple jobs. sort of like baristas but not yet as bad.
Musk wants to own social media just like Buffet wants to own newspapers. It's critical to have a say in what people read and think about you and your interests.
My initial thought was that I didn't like that prescription. But I'd like to know _why_ the author thinks "joke less, laugh less" would help with divisiveness.
This is a store open 11am-6pm Monday through Friday, located in a middle of nowhere office park. No random walk-ins will be happening since this isn’t at all near an established retail district where people wander around.

It’s a “tech demo/test” for future stores that may be built but the only “customers” will be Facebook employees.

Works perfectly well. Mind you, I would use Postgresql if the site were important, just to be on the safe side.

The commitment is notable, even if he came in later in the game.

I also think it's worth noting that he brought the best of current "good enough" manufacturing practices to luxury automobiles. I think this is the fairest examination of that, since it includes Elon himself: https://jalopnik.com/best-of-2021-in-epically-nerdy-intervie...

Our expectation around cars is that the build quality will be good from day one; this kind of incremental improvement approach is not common. IMHO it's also sub-par and somewhat dangerous for something as deadly as a car, but that's probably a side point for the current discussion.

We also see this with the Hyperloop. Big optimism, and the first actual implementation in Vegas kind of sucks. Maybe it'll improve over time, maybe not, but there's certainly an initial quality gap.

The question I'd ask is what does the equivalent look like for Twitter? I sort of think the "do it crappy, see how to improve it later" policy is more typical for social media.

Minor nitpick: when asked to press Enter, only the main enter key is accepted ("Enter"), not the enter key from the numeric pad ("NumpadEnter"). Both keys share the same key code 13.
Nobody that defended him could even cite something. Somebody mentioned a show about teenage girls from a few years ago is all. But why would that affect subscriber counts in Q122?

Netflix produces a lot of content. I would venture a guess that 99% of it isn't woke or anti-woke.
I agree. I couldn’t help wondering while reading the article if older users are faster with serifed fonts and younger users are faster with sans-serif fonts, however they never touched on it.
Tagged unions look simple and useful, but not very compact. As someone who has dabbled in scripting language interpreters, it be would nice to see built-in support for something like NaN-boxing if you're doing a union between pointer types, smaller integer types, and doubles. But I suppose you could it yourself like in C.
This is something like a "culture" article, answering not "what does a Reactor Operator do?" (operate the reactor, duh), but "what is a Reactor Operator like?".

Describing them in this joking, colorful way give readers more of a feel of the Reactor Operator archetype than a bland "they were the people who scored highest on the standardized test for the navy". It's trying to convey the feeling that "these are the nerdiest people on boat full of nerdy people".
Elon Musk's sole political opinion is to further the clout, the cult and the wallet of Elon Musk.

> He exudes libertarian, progressive and conservative values depending on the context

The context is whatever fits his self interest, wallet or ego in that specific moment in time.

People on this board like to proud themselves of how smart they are, it turns out IQ doesn't matter that much in such situations. You just can't measure street smarts and the ability to call out cults and snake-oil salesmen.
Privacy isn't a right because it can't be enforced. Should I be able to sue someone for taking photos of me walking to the grocery store? Should other people be able to sue me for reading a newspaper over their shoulder? No, that kind of litigation is insane. There is no such idea as a "reasonable expectation of privacy" when you own a multimillion dollar private jet. You're being taxied through airports on one of the largest vehicles mankind can make, of course you're not going to be private. There's no basis for enforcing that kind of right, it would quickly devolve into a game of "who can buy the better lawyer", which certainly doesn't balance the scales of justice.

The whole "privacy is a human right" shtick is a virtue-signally scam. Privacy is your duty, nobody will give it to you for free. Complaining that the rest of the world won't ignore you after writing a Tweet that 500 thousand people liked is absurd. Musk had his chance to live a private life. He threw it away, and now he lives the consequences. Defending some multi-billionaire because he can't have his cake and eat it too is just ridiculous. I say that as someone with neutral feelings towards Musk overall.
Is there any technical reason for not making it work with user / authentication when people download, configure and run their own instances?
He attempted a coup. I think that qualifies him as an extremist.

I hope Elon succeeds in his plans here, and that Twitter can once again become a place with functioning freedom of speech for all sides of the political spectrum once again. Considering the most recent trajectory of the west regarding censorship online, this is a breath of fresh air. And dare I hope, maybe it even sets a new trend?

I do but one of them does know, basically I got a job offer, but my previous(and current employer) really needed me since they have a legacy backend written in a relative niche language and I was the only one left to maintain it while they migrate it to python, so they offer me to switch from full time to part-time with the same salary. so half of the day with my old employer and the rest with the new one.

Evidence suggests he may have bought the plane explicitly for this stunt. He's an experienced sky diver, so I imagine he knows what kind of plane is good for a pilot looking to bail.

While TikTok is eating Meta, YouTube and Twitter together for lunch? Twitter's problem with making money are not just internal anymore, There's an established competitor to which young people are flocking to just like we did with Twitter when we were younger and advertisers go behind the young.
A 20-page resume bespeaks someone inexperienced in job applications.

One of the important skills I would be looking for in a recruit would be the ability to express themselves clearly, concisely, and persuasively. Clarity and conciseness are marks of the ability to think. Persuasiveness is actually something that makes me suspicious, but in many jobs the ability to persuade others is an asset (leadership positions, for example). So YMMV.

I've always struggled with conciseness; I'm in love with the sound of my own voice.
Our model of a unit of effort typically originates from a commit. Deployments are declared through an API: because we already know the commits, and most importantly their intents, this tells us what a given release aims to achieve. The next link is to connect that to observable impact.
This is why it's hard to take the media or experts seriously. They have been predicting a housing crash since 2013, experts like Robert Shiller. The market may crash, but every year that passes in which the market rises, means having to buy at a high price if you delayed because of concerns of a housing market crash.
None really, but we have a fairly simple design where all the shared databases we attach are read-only (think big static lookup tables that a separate process takes care of updating.) I would probably avoid having databases attach contextually -- seems complicated and error-prone.
