These mergers never are almost never at parity months before closing. This one isn't even so far a spread, 15% rebate on proposed takeout price. Activision, with an offer from Microsoft for which even Buffett is partaking in the arbitrage, sits at 20%. Even back at the announcement in January, before this market turmoil which can threaten these deals, it traded at a like 14% discount.

With that in mind, special situations are clearly still a valid strategy.
I understand the users perspective but this will definitely add a lot of cost because it will require maintaining different data processing pipelines.

Suddenly, Twitter will have backward compatibility issues at hand. I think, "if you don't like our new ToS we will delete your account, here is your data have a nice day" is a fair approach because at no point Twitter signed SLA with their users.
Yes, it does, at least if you go by how much money the sketchy vulnerability brokers are offering to pay. On https://zerodium.com/program.html a Chrome RCE+LPE is "Up to $500k", while the other browsers are all less.
Yeah right. If you just want the obvious basic functionality, you just need to do extra steps!

When people ask me why I like my CLI and TUI apps so much this is the example I give. It's much less likely that some UI/UX person has been involved and this means the the workflow will be logical and oriented to the task at hand.

I just imagined trying to explain to my non-techy colleagues how to get the pasted "stuff" to look like the copied "stuff" and that pretty much answered the question...

Everything about Windows and Microsoft office is annoying to someone who knows how to use a computer properly; unfortunately, the vast majority of people using them do not. I work with people who use Excel every day and will still do the maths in their head and type into the cells because formulas are too difficult for them to master.
What's odd about it? Why wouldn't he be proud of his team for successfully building stuff he thought was important to build?
I noticed this too when I used steam to stream a game to my laptop over good wifi. Every minute it would stutter for a second. I set up iperf3 tests and noticed the wifi lag increasing every minute between my macbook and my server and between my windows desktop pc and my server (when connected over wifi). Of course no lag when using cables, so I reasoned it was wifi related, and had noting to do with my setup (I used different clients, and different AP's). I then took my macbook (only portable computer I had) it too a nearby coffee shop with good wifi and I could still measure lag spikes every minute. So then I was really puzzled, was there some rogue device interfering with wifi all over the neighborhood? Finally I found a suggestion to turn off location services (or whatever it is called), and the spikes disappeared. And I learnt that even when it is not used (not sure it the lid was closed) a macbook can cause significant interference to the wifi for all other nearby devices.
Does that mean that you leak it out over DNS / Google search for autocomplete?

Counter example: I grew up using 12-hour time and still do to this day, with plenty of analog clocks all around, and yet I find it much easier and faster to convert between 24-hour and 12-hour time (just remove the leading 1 and subtract 2, if the hour is more than 12) than to parse an analog clock (identify which hand is which, convert the minutes to get an approximation, even more work if it's a stylized clock that might use roman numerals or not have any labels at all).

The American version is more accurate and arguably better - I like to think the title was changed for our heightened intelligence and not the opposite.
> The left-wing conservatives who had traditionally voted communists...

As a person with US-oriented political definitions, I find that phrase almost impossible to parse. I can put "left-wing" and "traditionally voted communist" together, but in what sense are they "conservatives"?

I'm not saying that you're wrong. I'm just saying that I don't understand how the terms are used over there.
> Might be better to let go of the hate…

So that more blockchain opportunists, web3 wanderers and crypto trojan horses blossom in the next cycle, chant the same 'this time is different' screed and cause another crash?

No. This blockchain cycle needs to stop, now that we know that they have no solutions or usecases other than gambling.

Are we all going to pretend Twitter's consumer product is not in desperate need of reworking?

It's failing hard to users and on the business side.

The decision makes sense...

This is extremely personal matter, beyond the Elon hate, I can't imagine why anyone would think its a good idea to make a public show about all this.

Good luck to him though. Would be awesome if he can prove Twitter (and the world) wrong and not be a one-hit wonder with Periscope. Or, not..

Time will tell.
166% collateral doesn't seem so safe in a market where swings of 20%+ are not uncommon and 50%+ are not unheard of. Plus the value of many cryptocurrencies seem to be correlated and they will shed value together in a bad market. I think the thing that would give me the most confidence is the large portion of USDC collateral - but why not just use USDC then?
Boom & bust cycles seem to be a built in “feature” of market economies. The architects are not trying to create booms and busts per se, but they are trying to manage them so they aren’t as devastating as 1929.
Unfortunately if you do so it will break Cmd-V paste on applications that don't have that feature.
> The problem with the awk example here specifically is that you're mixing two different languages (shell and awk)

Two languages, but three environments altogether. I'm running an awk script, in a remote shell script, in a local shell script. So a string with a meta-character or keyword within the awk script needs to be triply escaped. And there's no shell_escape(shell_escape(awk_escape(a literal dollar one $1))) available to make it less painful.
> I'm skeptical because we are building black boxes.

Just want to point out that you are also a blackbox.
And if you are going to say that you are not a blackbox because you can explain your reasoning, just know that some AIs already do that too.
Worth mentioning how sites thwart spammers by including 'hidden fields'. Typically a bot would try to fill out every field, including hidden ones. All a program has to do is check for the population of hidden fields, and bang: they're a bot.
The screenshots are from a version before the Big Sur visual refresh, so at least 2 major versions behind the current release.

But it's clear he's already 0wn3d it.
The title is editorialized and different from the title in the article, specifically the addition of "unconstitutional"

The article said a lower court found it unconstitutional, but that was struck down. Unfortunately it didn't explain why the court struck it down (presumably because that would have spoiled the narrative) so I don't know if it was a technicality or if the higher court found it was constitutional.
I don't think Elon particularly wants to be in the actual driver's seat of Twitter. That's a job and a half, especially when he already has SpaceX and Tesla to manage. I rather assume he will have someone competent at the helm to which he can give incredibly broad orders like 'figure out how to make free speech work'. Though that doesn't mean Parag won't be out - the competent person is likely to be someone who is not soft on free speech like Parag is, and there's a good chance it'll even be Jack.

Yeah, but it's the rank and file employees who will now think "I'm not there to defend myself against being fired if I take maternity/paternity leave" who will suffer most. The ones who won't be getting a severance larger than you can ever imagine.
Im in the same boat. Started with bitcoin in 2013, bought ethereum in the presale, did freelance app development for all sorts of crypto startups (including coinbase). Was a true believer in the technique. But over the years it became clear it was never going to have a big impact. We went from people armiring the tech, to people with no knowledge about the tech, but with big dollar signs in their eyes. Then in 2016 I decided to sell all my crypto coins and move on to a different field. In hindsight, I lost out on millions. But ah well, cant forsee the future. Those crypto bros who think they can are just deluded. What theyre doing was never any better than gambling.
This is also true!

I just can't replicate it, and another user ( leodriesch ) pointed out they may be a few versions behind. That's not something I can replicate right now.

My own guess is that this is doubtful that Musk drove this.

That said, he is a very large shareholder already, and so if he, as a large shareholder, communicated something to the board, and they acted, then the claim that isn't kosher rings a bit hollow - large shareholders communicate with boards and some activist ones go further.

Internally I suspect there is some concern about Musk. The head of legal was reportedly crying regarding this buyout. They've got their misinformation management efforts around the biden laptop story and other issues (vaccines etc etc) that musk may not back as fully as Gadde did. So they could be moving some deck chairs in advance of Musks arrival. Be interesting to see how it shakes out, may not be smooth - Twitter is HQ'ed in San Francisco.
Obviously not an emacs user... (wink)
I too believe that he'd be crazy not to renegotiate.

As far as I recall, they agreed on a break fee of ~$1bn if Musk walks away. But if he can lower the price to $40 a share (which is still far higher than market would probably be, at least in this market), he gets Twitter at $31bn instead of $42bn.
> So there's two options right

There are far more possibilities than those two. Here's just one off the top of my head (I assign no probabilities here, just pointing out this false binary): This person is being fired as a result of some investigation or process that began prior to the acquisition process and whose results have only just been reached. There are a whole range of process driving, "my hands are tied" scenarios that could explain this.

I'm glad that it's crashing in spite of a large chunk of my portfolio being in crypto. The degree of complacency in the space had gotten absurd and completely detached from any economic or even technological reality. Current top projects seemed to intentionally squander all the money which was invested. It was so bad, it looked as though the biggest investors wanted them to waste the money.

I'm also glad that the stock market crashed too. I hope it all goes to 0 and new, better projects and companies can grow out of the ashes. It's scams all around.
Curious why anyone would see this as "awful"

The sheer amount of equity, cash and packaging going into Kayvon's severance is going to be princely. Additionally, he's a founder of periscopeco, so he's not without direction.
xsv does similar stuff for CSV, and very rapidly: https://github.com/BurntSushi/xsv

https://miller.readthedocs.io/en/latest/why/ has a nice section on "why miller":

> First: there are tools like xsv which handles CSV marvelously and jq which handles JSON marvelously, and so on -- but I over the years of my career in the software industry I've found myself, and others, doing a lot of ad-hoc things which really were fundamentally the same except for format. So the number one thing about Miller is doing common things while supporting multiple formats: (a) ingest a list of records where a record is a list of key-value pairs (however represented in the input files); (b) transform that stream of records; (c) emit the transformed stream -- either in the same format as input, or in a different format.

You are comparing the worst of crypto markets to the best of traditional markets.
NFTs are like the equivalent of Peloton in the the traditional world. A nonsense concept made to raise capital from people who like a shiny narrative but can't be bothered to think through the details.

Yeah a lot of dumb hype settled in crypto, crypto is naturally suited to that and that's never going to change. But there's plenty of dumb hype in markets that should know better.

Anyway crypto doesn't seem to be that different than the world around it and it has performed drastically better than traditional markets since the bottom of march 2020
I did not realize this / check this. I had made the assumption of latest macOS and-what-have-you.

I however, cannot setup that environment right now.
there are isolated cases of useful things done with some of the top names in crypto.

El Salvador helped break the backs of the international money transfer companies charging usurious prices for a simple ledger entry.[2]

Cardano is helping to build projects that are corruption and coercion resistant[1]

I'm sure others could come up with examples.

What has been unreal is the bubble though. People have tried to get rich quick off these things, meaning the use and utility value is much less than the speculative. Some of these projects have brought millions and maybe billions of value, but collectively maybe even now they seem to be over priced.

> Spaces, Communities, Topics, Creator tools, Safety controls

Interesting: as a casual Twitter user since 2008, I am completely unaware of Spaces, Communities, Topics, and Creator tools. Probably because I use Tweetdeck (desktop) and Tweetbot (mobile). I never see trending posts or ads, either.
Very much so, as I sold mine a few last year, and this could create a buying opportunity.

I've seen this question asked again and again. Once, i saw an answer from someone who was a product manager on a big office tool, i think at Microsoft. Their answer was that according to their user research, the vast majority of users want to paste with formatting.

Given how often this comes up, and how irritating all programmers evidently find this, i would really love to read a detailed writeup of this feature; its history, how popular it really is, how people use it, etc. It seems likely there's a big story here we're all completely missing.

Going to be very interesting to see how they glue together R2, edge workers and sqllite. They can manage replication using R2 and make the sqllite process aware of this for eventual consistency. Having edge compute with edge data on a globally consistent data model is the dream.

Yes, and also I was thinking more of how executives think about it rather than audiences. Sometimes the reason for popular Japanese films not making it to the West (or not making it until many years later) is because the Japanese rightsholders are holding out for funding to make an alternative cut for overseas audiences and get a wider theatrical release.
Have a look online, but here is one plucked from a search engine (

I would put Jacques Cousteau and Felix Rodríguez de la Fuente in the same league. If we take in mind the risks that they suffered to film nature I would say that they score higher in the epic factor.

I'm not denying that Attenborough is a category in himself and a wonderful narrator of course.

Freeman and Sigourney are in a different category. Both are excellent actors and narrators in films directed by another people. Freeman is "the" voice in the anglosphere, but Rodriguez de la Fuente was "the" voice in the latinosphere. Everybody was trying to imitate their style and accent decades after their death. He was the leader in a wolf pack when nobody was doing that, and don't hesitate to escalate a clift to take a good shot of a vulture nest. He was not an actor that just arrives to a set, say their lines and go.

It seems you perhaps haven't been to Tokyo, or haven't been to America. The typical Tokyo apartment today is larger, newer, and cheaper than the typical apartment in New York. That's the result of decades of housing construction policy, in both places, but in opposite directions.
First of all. It very much sounds like you need to get some professional help.

I was an extremely good student who had all kinds of accolades but I'm also seriously handicapped. I've wanted to learn how to code for more than a decade and I've had people tell me I'm simply not really interested (because I'm not succeeding).

That's not true.

I would suggest replit.com. No setup involved, it (and all your code) is always available on any computer or phone.

Once you log in, it's one click to choose python (or another language), one click to 'Create repl', and you can start typing code. One click to run it.

There's also tutorials, various templates to start from and other people's code to learn from.
It didn’t the last n times
People with this kind of "risk tolerance" usually dont take a risk even tho it would probably be totally "sane".

If you think about it, many people make several million dollars over their life time but see it as to high of a risk to put 10k into something that could go to zero but it also could go to 100k or even more.
That does not make much sense. The question should not be "should I risk the 10k? The question should be "am I in a financial position that allows me to lose 10k?"
If the answer is "Yes" then consider doing it, you will not miss the 10k at the end of you life but you will remember what you did with the 100k if it happens.
I wonder why they keep rescanning the wifi environment even though the fact that it remains connected to the same BSSID and the RSSI doesn’t fluctuate too much should suggest that it’s very unlikely the device moved far enough to warrant another scan.

I am glad that crypto market is crashing and the utility is going down. In my POV, it is just a leeching virtual asset without a governing body behind it that makes crime easier to conduct.
