I don’t think you could easily prove Twitter is materially misrepresenting the number of bot/spam accounts. Presumably, it is just an estimate based on some combination of assumptions and statistical analysis. You might be able to create a significantly higher estimate, but that seems different than proving material misrepresentation.
This is really neat! Also, please don't hijack the back button if you're not going to do anything useful with it!
>Regarding efficiency, I think this is a smaller issue than it seems. Let's say a chain is 95% efficient and their system is 85% efficient (they claim 5% less efficient than a chain, apparently, but I'm sure that's a stretch).

Would be interesting to see proof of their efficiency claims, having looked into this before series hybrid drivetrains are in the 80% efficiency range, you have generator->charge controller->motor controller->motor losses.

There are no production series hybrids I am of aware of in automobiles, all hybrid seem to have a parallel component connecting engine to wheels at highways speeds because its much more efficient.

Trains and large boats do diesel electric drivetrains but its not for running efficiency but other factors like traction /throttle control and power routing.

Its very difficult to out perform a mechanical drivetrain in both weight and efficiency if your power source is mechanical (ICE / human body).
But it's the tone with which it was said, and the expressiveness of Chair Powell's eyebrows when he said it that was unanticipated.

Aren't you just suggesting a very simple CAPTCHA challenge? This is an area that has seen an arms race for over a decade of platforms coming up with increasingly complex "human-intelligence" challenges, and botmasters coming up with increasingly ingenious ways to bypass them (including, sometimes, using real human intelligence)
Presumably higher average ratios correlate with lower interest rates though.
If you cannot come up with evidence that would convince you that you are wrong, then you are not making a scientific claim.
Well, mostly that it was a union for peace and cooperation and now there are digital ID initiatives along with bills like the one in the article, operational military forces, and regulations galore.

My view (although very limited and I'm here to expand it) is that every time a larger governmental body takes some power with some promise of prosperity, it's nice for a short while, but governments only grow till they crash.

Much of the promise of the EU (again a feeling that I'm researching so I can back up or disprove) is being lost to the trend of governments that grow until they no longer represent their people and then fall.
What about a recession would cause FB or Google to leave the advertising business, and not have some the largest advertising revenue whenever the recession is over? It is more of a choice can your money be invested somewhere better in the short-term and then hop back on to FB and Google before they get too expensive.

It is probably the same for all large tech companies. I don't see any titans falling in the next few years.

Yeah, Musk, Ford, Jobs, and Edison are all a big deal regardless of their role in actually inventing technology. I think Jobs is the most appropriate analog because he also has a public perception as being the person who created the tech which isn't really accurate. I'm not sure Ford had that reputation and Edison was more hands on.

It is also probably worth nothing that they all had another trait in common. They were all notorious assholes for various reasons.

I'm dying to know how they're defining "bots" for this purpose and whether it's specifically defined in the agreement. I suspect a (perhaps feigned) argument over the scope of the definition will be the deal's undoing.
If you're going to be paid in equity and not asking those questions, unless it's a publicly traded company (where you have these answers ahead of time) or you are getting compensated well above average in cash equivalents, it would be just plain irresponsible to not ask those questions.

Even if you are getting paid an extremely good salary, who wants to start working for a company that's potentially months or a year from becoming insolvent? The fact that this might not be standard due diligence as suggested by your comment is mind boggling to me.
That isn’t how acquisitions works. What Elon and Twitter have done is effectively sign an LOI. Now they do actual diligence to close the deal, or walk away and pay the breakup fee.
Probably because it's ambiguous and opens them up to legal headaches when there's disagreement over how much was made or saved.
Thanks, I wish people could speak clearly.
I don't understand why the programs are the same. The partial render store program has to write out both the color and the depth buffer, while the final render store should only write out color and throw away depth.
Theaded code always interests me, but there definitely is a price to it. Should be noted though that a lot of newer Forths diverge from the classic threaded code model. Because it is a concatenative language, it is possible to have one that compiles native code by copying inlined subroutines (https://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.56...).

For example to compile : SQUARE DUP + ; all the compiler has to do is copy the machine code of DUP to the place where SQUARE is being compiled, remove the ret instruction at the end of it, and copy the machine code of + after it. It can also do some small optimizations to remove redundant instructions.

You can do this with other languages, but concatenative languages can make it as simple as literally concatenating bits of code.
Ask HN: TypeScript config confusion
I've been using typescript (ts) for various projects for two years. I've been pleased with the type safety and various other features of ts and I think it represents a better way to use node/js.

That being said, I've read the microsoft [documentation for the tsconfig](https://www.typescriptlang.org/tsconfig) more times than I can count. In that time I have read through dozens (hundreds???) of blog posts, stack threads, github issues and the like for knowledge or hints about how to properly understand and use the `tsconfig.json` options to no avail.

Issues in the github repo for microsoft/typescript are a great entrypoint for those seeking some background:
- https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript/issues/39965
- https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript/issues/27481
- https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript/issues/38546

Every thread like these is the same: years of people showing up to the same forums and repeating the same questions. How can `require` vs `import` still be consuming man-millenia of time and frustration? How is `async` still bringing career and psyche to ruin?

In-the-know folks will point out, that the _real_ issue is no longer `require` vs `import` but

```
import * as bs from 'bs'
// VS
import bs from 'bs'
```

But there are actually 2 or 3 other mutually exclusive ways of importing packages, depending on which incantations of "module", "target", and "compilerOptions" you cobble together.

typescript provides no overview for installation and setup process and provides no guidance on how to migrate from any particular syntax to any other. I understand the matrix of overlapping inputs and possible outputs makes tsc's job difficult but this is an absurd amount of confusion given that every single person in these threads is just trying to import a package and can't seem to figure out anywhere how to do that.

Suggestions welcome.

I went to high school in the Bronx, and spent most of my adolescence walking around it (including the "scary" part, which is the South Bronx). It's not a hellhole either, "rich multicultural" dogwhistling aside.

The underpinning issue is existing water rights and the Fifth Amendment. California has already issued rights to use that water, and the Fifth Amendment says:

"nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation."

So we can't just remove access to the water without the state paying for it. That's going to be expensive. Especially since a lot of these rights are for perpetuity (i.e. the water rights are conferred by owning land next to the river, without a contract/permit that expires). How do you "justly" price an eternal supply of a scarce resource? Especially of a resource that could be priceless in the not-too-distant future.

It'll either take a constitutional amendment (with potentially wide-reaching consequences), or a lot of money and probably a decade or two of court cases. No businesses will willingly hand over their water rights when water is scarce enough the state is trying to claw it back.

The IDE's I've seen are mostly used for the debugging magic, and the toolchain used for building is some customized thing. I work in automotive.
One other way this trail can be made is simply by installing the drivers. For example I noticed that when you complete the driver installation for a Brother color laser printer, the installer opens the default browser and navigates to brother.com/something/SERIAL_NO_OF_PRINTER. I am assuming that on the other end they're capturing the IP, fingerprinting the browser, and logging it all forever.
Everyone I've known that has them dispenses with the hose and uses it only as a - sort of - magic trash can for small objects.
Until very recently it was a thing in all browsers, with a variety of lower bounds depending on which browser. It was meant to prevent accidental busy-loops when developers forgot the set the time parameter IIRC.
How many car startups in the last 50 years have made half as many cars as Tesla? Cars are an extremely competitive space. In my life in the last few years, Musk has gone from just a name on the internet to maker of a car I see on the streets at least once per day. That kind of progress is frankly undeniable. The same can be said of SpaceX - love Elon or hate him, there's no other company on earth doing what SpaceX does in the volume it does. I roll my eyes a lot at Musk on i.e. his Twitter takes, but I find the current zeitgeist of blind hate against him to be really reductive and boring. I feel like it's possible to be worried about his power, disagree with his politics, but also be impressed at the same time.

When I studied Hungarian, my impression was that it is more consistent relative to other languages - things like the noun cases and vowel harmony seem complex at first, but are really straightforward to use once you grok them. English, on the other hand, is more of an analytic language, so you have to rely more on chaining together phrasal patterns that "just sound right" and there are very few consistent rules. So I think a lot of the perceived difficulty of learning Hungarian is really the difficulty of unlearning the ambiguity and inconsistency you might be used to in English or a similar language.
In support of what hypothesis? Musk is in diligence. To walk away without any cause he would have to pay $1,000,000,000. He doesn’t have to say why he’s decided to walk away, but he has a billion reasons not to walk without cause.

> I think I'd disagree with that - you state it fairly strongly, but I think that each of the items you mention is possible to delegate and distribute successfully, to varying degrees. Much of that is aided by referring to existing patterns that have succeeded elsewhere.

I think we're getting a lot closer to the meat of the issue here. I agree with you that it is possible to delegate and distribute /most/ of what I mentioned successfully to varying degrees. But that leaves the "incompressible" part of the CEO, which is fundraising/investor relations and hiring/org building.

Fundraising is completely impossible to delegate (if you delegate that to someone else, you'll alienate investors) and even with hiring/org building, you have to at least do the recruiting/candidate selection of top lieutenants yourself as a CEO in order to make sure that you are putting the right team of divisional heads in place to execute. You have to be a better coach than the vast majority of coaches out there to succeed in this endeavor, and to even attract and accurately assess the kind of talent that will set up the org for success. It is very easy to mess this up.

On the whole, a lot of what I'm talking about is high stakes high rewards strategic dealmaking. This isn't a common skill for most people to have. It's a blend of analytical (determining leverage points, BATNA in negotiations) and creative (figuring out how to grow the pie) that is hard to practice unless you've done it before.

Most decisions you make here are irreversible. The other challenge with this kind of dealmaking is that the stakes are so high and the counterparties so formidable that if you put anyone except an equally formidable party in place to negotiate with them, you'd end up in a bloodbath that ended up unfavorably for the company and favorably for the counterparty.

In my opinion, that's why we end up at the steady state of executive compensation across most of the world that we see today. It's a miserable job unless you really enjoy it because everyone will (and should) blame you when things go wrong. That is made more challenging by the fact that by the time one becomes a successful CEO, one can generally retire off earnings and/or become an investor with much better WLB and risk adjusted returns.

PS: I'm also realizing another interesting petri dish where we could see parts of what you're suggesting play out are DAOs in crypto. Theoretically, if we can arrive at a DAO that works efficiently, it would serve as proof that for certain kinds of commercial organizations, the chief executive role may be able to be diminished or even eliminated. I am very curious about whether these experiments pan out (and inside my heart hope they do) although I remain skeptical.
It's hard to say. For any project there is a mixture of planning and doing. I think the person you're responding to is planning too much, but a certain amount of research is necessary.

In the case of my blog project I did try a 'spike implementation' with hugo and got so far to get a test instance online. It wasn't love at first site so I'm probably going to try another static site generator, probably one written in Python so I'll be able to incorporate a lot of code I've already written.

Wider than that I need to school myself more on CSS and particularly how to make layouts that scale across desktop and mobile (and don't make me want to puke!) That's a project of its own that is kindof the opposite of a spike implementation because i want to cover the ground thoroughly.

The difference is that a storage facility is holding property which belongs to its customers, while Coinbase merely owes its customers a service—there is no property involved, as the assets are all virtual.

Banks are somewhere in between; they owe their depositors property (cash) upon request, not merely a service, but unlike a storage facility until that withdrawal is made the money belongs to the bank (more-or-less like a loan). They are also subject to regulations specific to banks which place those withdrawal claims in a special category.

>I was making about 200k at the first company and almost double that now.

That's absolutely insane to me. In EU I make 55K (considered a great mid-senior wage in my area) and could make up to 75K for senior, if I move to an expensive city in Germany and work at a top company but that's the top end of the market. There's no amount of interviewing or job hopping that could get you further as an embedded dev IC here. Higher pay is reserved for management positions which are tough to get. Even making six figures as an embedded IC here is impossible, let alone 200k+
> Obviously, a rational CEO would see $1m cost savings the same as a $1m gain in profits

This is generally incorrect, especially at SaaS companies where revenue is recurring. It's very likely that you'll see much of that $1m gain again in future years, possibly even growing, while cost savings are hard to repeat consistently without impacting future growth.
