SV hubris is its own thing.
Well some other people already posted that it has actually happened.

> There are two reasons I guess. One is that pedophilia is the epitome of evil in our society and even career criminals would find handling CSAM off putting and risky.

Every time I see this argument I find it hopelessly naive.

If I was sitting on a few million in cocaine or heroin I'd be sweating bullets, but other people deal in more than that all the time.

There are people out there willing to do murder for hire, which seems like total insanity to me (huge legal risks and you have to get up close and messy and be actually willing to kill someone). Yet sociopaths out there look at their skill set and decide the fact that they're completely okay with killing people is a profitable skill they can market. Sitting on a pile of CSAM and hacking into phones to frame other people seems relatively tame by comparison, and certainly prone to attracting people who are overly-smart technically and have the weakness that they think they're so smart they'll never get caught. Far from seeming implausible, it seems highly plausible.
Seconded, this is definitely a thing.
No, houses aren't next in line. Crypto has no value but houses serve a purpose and there is real demand and need for it.

Housing market might correct a little but you won't see a $1M Los Angeles house going down to $300k. Maybe $925k but no further than that. There is no time in human history housing crashed and never came back. It moves down a little, then goes up again. Remember 2008.
Regulation can’t come soon enough. These are risky assets at best. People are getting hurt.

Just think how much real tech talent has been wasted on this pointless experiment. This could have gone into fintech, greentech, healthtech, proptech etc anything else really that creates real value.
The two execs fired were:

- Kayvon Beykpour, Head of Consumer Product (3 years, 11 months) [1]; and

- Bruce Falck, Revenue Product Lead (5 years at Twitter, 3 years and 11 months in this position) [2]

Kinda weird that both people were just shy of serving 4 years in their current roles. When I see moves like this my immediate thought is always, it's to save or make money. For example, there could be an options pool in the event of a change of control. Well, you've just fired a couple of people right before a huge vest (probably; I have no concrete information) and increased your share of that options pool.

It just reminds me of Skype firing executives at the Microsoft buyout to avoid payouts [3].

Otherwise making these moves before an acquisition has closed doesn't make a lot of sense. My money is on this having everything to do with money.

EDIT: Updated comment as the link was updated from the original Twitter thread by Kayvon Beykpour about his firing.

> Trust me, you're being judged (fairly, imo) a lot more harshly for living somewhere for a decade and not even bothering to learn the local language.

I had 2 years in Goethe institute. And had lessons 2 times a week at work. Kept a handbook at all times with vocabulary to repeat it in the subway. And mingled with German people to escape the expat bubble.

I'm in B1 in German standards.

But that's precisely the same judgement of "not even bothering" I normally get. After so much of that, after 3 years I just gave up.
There is no block 2 created if block 1 is not final. Once consensus is reached on what is in B1 it doesn't matter anymore if someone comes around with a different idea what should be in B1. So by the time the nodes "debate" over B2, Alice has the money and its final. There can not be a double spend with time delay in between because the second transaction ties to move already moved funds so its objectively invalid.

A double spend would need to happen in the same block but all transaction are ordered sequentially so the second one will fail anyway as it still tries to moved funds that are already moved.
The nodes just have to agree on one, it doesn't matter which one. If someone internationally tries to send the same funds to Bob an Alice he's just flipping a coin as to who will get it. Alice doesn't care and Bob doesn't care either. They only care about it being final if they see the funds in their account. And the rest of the network doesn't care that Eve is being a bit silly and wants a "decentral coin flip" to decide where the money goes.

Agreed. The USA government lost all of its legitimacy when it did that.
At a size on the order of 1um, it's going to be a long, long while before this becomes a commercially viable competitor to bulk cmos. Doesn't matter much for a CPU if your transistor can switch 1000000X faster if you can only have 1/1000th of them on a die. Your speed would ultimately be limited by the physical wire delays anyways.
Not to mention that it's using "exotic" process steps which means capacity is, at minimum, decades away from being meaningful.

Don't get me wrong, the research is cool, but it's not going to make "computers a million times faster".
Yeah, but they still deserve it.

What about the possibility guy was going to be asked to leave regardless of recent events, but the executive team decided the least they could do after he put in good time is allow him to collect some PTO on parental leave before handing him the official pink slip? I don't know what Twitter's benefits are but I imagine they have an, "unlimited leave" policy. Could be they've disagreed for a while and an argument came to an affront similar to, "Look man, I'm going to take leave to spend time with my new child, then we'll decide if it's the right move for me to return." Frankly this is a pretty boring conspiracy regardless, people leave jobs all the time. All I have to say is I hope dude enjoys a nice Summer with his family without worrying about this dumb product that for the most part narcissists use to trick themselves into thinking anybody gives a shit about what they have to say.
The best scientific explanation for why Musk is rich is our social system requires we implicitly believe and repeat that idea due to political training which is hand me down gossip from parents.

You are being annoyed with people when they’re not reciting the right semantics? Some form of just stick to the script?

The entire internet is full of insufferable bullshit brigading of opinions because that’s what it’s for.

I’ve been online since the 80s for the weird. Now it’s full of insufferable normies.

Maybe it’s outlived it’s usefulness as a social engagement tool.
Anyone know how this compares to Auth0? I like Auth0 because it's free for up to 7K active users. WorkOS seems much more expensive out of the gate ($49 per "connection"?).

I'm not sure I'd take a billionaire's view on envy. It always comes off as "Let them eat cake" to me.

I have a B2C app with a prepaid model as well since 2011. It works like a charm. Very easy to understand, no confusion. Refunds are maybe 1 per month. I haven't had a single credit card chargeback ever and I think only 2-3 PayPal "conflicts" in more than 10 years. (But this, of course, also depends on the kind of customers you have).

Ask HN: How much do you study in order to do/make something?
I find myself studying too much in order to make something that I want. For example, I want to make a dashboard of some sort. So I start learning about the history of dashboards, state of the art dashboard components, best information to show on dashboards, whether to implement them as a native, mobile, web application, and it keeps on getting deeper and deeper. I just need to build a dashboard! I sort of don't know when to stop because I like studying too much. Feels like I'm in a never ending recursive rabbit hole of rabbit holes.

I do tell myself to just "study enough to produce" but I just can't get the right criteria for "enough".

I wonder whether this type of behavior is called anything so I could study about it.
I think how the SV techbros in this thread view cryptobros is probably fairly similar to how most of society views SV techbros.
You see what most of us Americans can't.

We get too caught up in two-party partisanship to focus on the larger picture.

It's a sort of prisoner's dilemma, actually. We could collaborate on solving mutual problems but we know the other party isn't trustworthy. Or we could focus on just getting our own way and making sure the other party doesn't take advantage of us.
Does making the background in Word white and not just "default" fix this?

There will always be people trying to scam people, and always people who get scammed. It's hard to feel bad about an inevitability.

Oh, I see. Yes, that's true, although it would take a rather lot of resources; for a decade of support, you basically need devs who can support each package in the distro independently of upstream. Still, if you're willing to pay for it I expect there are companies who will offer that support.
Btw we can significantly increase blood production via Epo.
The question is wether blood from cows/pigs rejuvenate. It could get an industrial scale.
I wonder how those $ amounts are arrived at, I don't see in FAQ. Maybe a third party study of potential factors and prices (quick search I'm not finding anything promising)? Surely market share/adoption is very significant, but something else must explain e.g., 2.5x more for Apache RCE than Nginx RCE?
Good point, I meant financial institutions, which is actually the term used in the whitepaper, not intermediaries.
Learning helps you pay your rent in the long run though, as it lifts your overall qualification level.
Yeah I tend to use "select *" in interactive queries when I'm working out what I want, but then write explicit column names in anything going into production. This helps with the column-being-removed case, as the query will fail immediately selecting a nonexistent column, whereas "select *" will not fail and the error will happen somewhere else.
I have been running a few WordPress sites for like 10 years now and never had any of them randomly break, I just use a few core plugins and two premium themes and update them once in a while.

People seem to confuse freedom of speech with antitrust issues when it comes to social media curating content. They’re private companies, they can curate content as they see fit. If someone doesn’t like it, use a different platform. If one platform is too dominant then it’s an antitrust issue.
While I agree, an SSO login wall is really the most trivial of these enterprise features to implement. Even the most basic SaaS app out there supports it already, and there are enough libraries in every language you can use. So while WorkOS might make things easier in that area, it won't be a game changer, at least not with its current feature set.

Start talking about compliance with a hundred different standards (ISO/IEC, SOC, CSA, GDPR, APEC, HIPAA, FINRA, FedRAMP), data residency, eDiscovery, audit logging, RBAC, invoicing, uptime SLAs, analytics, MDM, disabling features and your customers will be a LOT more interested.
The "crash" in MT FAANG (that's a thing?) (-25%,-40%,-45%,-23%,-38%,-72% (whoa),-24%) is very likely people moving money out of stocks that they put into stocks because they could not get any return on bonds and other assets. It's a financial crash; none of the fundamentals have markedly changed.

Of course, the fundamentals have been horrible because the economy has been in a bad way for several years (certainly, after March 2020, but it wasn't great before then) but the stock market has been divorced from the actual economy longer than that.

Here's some pretty charts:

Wilshire 5000 / GDP Ratio https://www.longtermtrends.net/market-cap-to-gdp-the-buffett...

Dow / GDP Ratio https://www.macrotrends.net/2574/dow-to-gdp-ratio-chart (Yeah, the Dow is a horrible index, but check out that period from 1966 to 1982. The 1970s were not a happy time, either economically or financially.

Even that never really happened, did it? Madoff was never not able to make a payment.

His kids reported him to the police before they could be found out by anyone else. Of course, as part of the reporting, they also got immunity from the consequences of the company they worked for being an elaborate ponzi scheme.

I suspect it's highly likely that this was a scheme they came up with to ensure that no one in the family, other than Madoff himself, would have to suffer the consequences of their crime.
I think you overestimate the majority of users' ability to make good UX decisions.

WTF are you talking about?

If any, science today it's made thanks to FLOSS software, propietary software it's the exception.
And the trend it looking worse for propietary environments.

Money will come from support and integration, not for the software.

A complex, scientific related reproducible ad-hoc environment for Guix may cost a little more on a single PC than a a propietary OS license and setting up the rest for yourself, but you will be able to replicate that setup everywhere and forever and on a guaranteed basis that once your paper/experiment it's replicated, yo get the same environment no matter where and how.
That's the difference.
I will grant that the grounding is important.

The worst intellectual trend of the 20th century was the idea that language might give you some insight into behavior (Sapir–Whorf hypothesis, structuralism, post-structuralism, ...) whereas language is really like the evidence left after a crime.

For instance, language maximalists see mental models as a fulcrum point for behavior, and they are, but they have nothing to do with language.

I have two birds that come to my window. One of them has no idea of what the window is and attacks her own reflection hundreds of times a day. She can afford to do it because her nest is right near the bird feeder and doesn't need to work to eat, in fact it probably seems meaningful to her that another bird is after her nest. This female cardinal flies away if I am in the room where she is banging.

There is a rose-breasted grosbeak, on the other hand, that comes to the same window. She doesn't mind if I come close to the window, instead I see her catch the eye of her reflection and then catch my eye. She basically understands the window.

Here you have two animals with two different acquired mental models... But no language.

What I like about the language-image models is how the image grounds reality outside language, and that's important because the "language instinct" is really a peripheral that attaches to an animal brain. Without the rest of the animal it's useless.

I will preface this statement by stating that I know nothing about the stock market and let my retirement account be handled by an investor...

What real math is involved in predicting the stock market? I understand there is a lot of theory behind TRYING to predict it, just as there is a lot of study in trying to predict trends in the stock market, which is why you are better off investing in groups of stocks as opposed to a singled stock (there you go, that's the grand total of what I know about the stock market). But so far as shorting stocks (betting that they'll fall) and buying stocks (betting that they'll rise), there isn't much real math, is there? Isn't it all just a gamble? Not even a statistical gamble, like dice or cards, but a public market analysis with the uncertainty of public trading and public sentiment thrown in, not to mention the hope of government bailouts on occasion?

I don't see a huge amount of difference in crypto except for physical assets, which don't cover the stock price for public companies, generally.

Now, how horribly wrong am I? I'm willing to admit I missed the mark, entirely as I don't understand trading. That's what my broker does.

> I also think the proposal to have Twitter allow all content that is "legal under US law" is a dangerous idea for the platform being a healthy community that most people actually want to participate in.

This is key. If @dang suddenly threw up his hands and said "anything goes on HN within U.S. law" this wonderful virtual discussion forum would die and most of us would sign off forever. I say that as someone whose been here for ~15 years.

I've used Twitter for the same amount of time. Despite Twitter's many faults and loopholes, the things that keep me going back day after day is there is enough good discussion, news tidbits, and photos (for me, mostly local nostalgia, birds, and retro computing) that it's a worthwhile place for me to hang out. I won't stick around if it gets too negative and my people start to leave, as they surely will under such a policy.

I haven't found GCP to be particularly expensive (besides for some subservices) - for indie projects, Firebase is top notch and, depending on your use case free or almost free -

I've always held the opinion that the markup on GCP, AWS, etc, is more than remediated by the savings in manpower requirement and cost of maintaining your own infrastructure.

Don't get me wrong, I love playing with self-hosted k8s for non-production, but when it comes to production, there's no real room for mistakes, downtime, constant maintenance and whatsoever.

If I had the time, or we had a dedicated SRE, sure - that might be a good path forward - but only if there is the chance of outgrowing the cost/profit ratio at some point. Unfortunately, what we provide at work is not a public offering, yet at the same time its being used by institutional money and has to have phenomenal availability and stability - I'd be hard pressed to sign off on a move to anything else in that case..
