Stay classy, Twitter.
I was with you until the last sentence.

When has housing ever not been an asset class?

Real estate is and was the original asset class.
Computers are already exponentially more intelligent than humans in constrained domains, like executing mathematics. Presumably we'll just keep expanding this category until they're better at everything than us, all the while reaping industrial benefits from each iterative improvement.
Kidneys are a "filter" organ, liver really isn't. The liver contains p450 enzymes which chemically modify toxins from the blood as they flow through so that they can easily be filtered by the kidneys... I don't see any reason to expect toxins to be concentrated in the liver.

Those configurations aren't "impossible" due to fundamental well tested physics like general relativity. They're "impossible" from the perspective of our understanding of the formation of planetary systems, which is understandably less well developed given how much more difficult it is to study since as a science, exoplanet detection is just 30 years old, with the majority of detections being less than 15 years old.

In comparison, general relativity is one of the most well tested theories in physics, having been undergoing rigorous testing for over a century, and regardless, the point stands that the results were close to the model, thus providing evidence for the model's validity.
The other way to view this is that america is a prosperous country, most americans recognize where that prosperity comes from, and instead are divided mainly be cultural issues.

I suspect immigration actually has a lot to do with it. I have a theory that, in the long run, immigration prevents the development of a meaningful left-wing party in the U.S. The left of center party ends up getting co-opted by immigrants who are open to same change, but not that much.

You can see this happening in the U.S. in real-time. Eroding support among hispanics may well cost Democrats the election in 2022. A notable fact about Hispanics is that they enjoy strong income mobility--typically moving up from the bottom to the middle within a couple of generations: https://academic.oup.com/qje/article/135/2/711/5687353. If you're vastly better off than your grandfather who came here from Mexico, you may well be skeptical of efforts to change things too much.
I'm sorry that people have lost a lot of their money but I'm glad there is a reckoning now rather than later when it might have roped in even more people.
LFG!
Why wouldn't it be? The sale hasn't finalized, so unless there's evidence that they're intentionally harming the company they can continue to operate as usual.
I don't really understand your comment so I'm not sure how to respond.

Normally, money you store in a bank is not subject to forfeiture if the bank shuts down. The FDIC insures about $250k (per accountholder per institution, not per account), and the account is sold to other banks to take over. (Meaning, they become the new bank managing the account.) Theoretically, the excess of $250k is not guaranteed but in the history of the FDIC accountholders have not lost money in an insured account when a bank has failed.

Money stored in an uninsured account is subject to forfeiture in the event of a bankruptcy, and all crypto accounts are uninsured accounts. The issue is that Coinbase has been advertising itself as a bank for crypto, and it turns out it really isn't.

So both sides share the blame here: Coinbase for lying, and its users for not making sure that it's actually the kind of financial institution where their assets would be secure.
I don't understand. How can a decentralized currency be unilaterally shut down?
I use the regular app and website as a casual user and am only aware of Topics.

My experience with Topics was really bad, I followed the "web development" topic and it just surfaces tweets of people who took a coding bootcamp and posting the thread emoji a lot. I tried for a while marking tweets in the Topic as not relevant but it didn't change anything.

(I work at Render) You don't need to use Docker to run your app on Render. Just a build command or script which can do anything (e.g. `npm build`) unlike buildpacks which force you into a specific way of doing things.

If you've tried Render without Docker and it still took you forever, that's a bug we'd love to fix if you can email me (in profile).
So many possibilities. Top people with favorable clauses might be finagling their own golden parachutes.
Lol nah. Met mike doing a project for them a few years ago when BitGo was young. Always thought it was kinda neat :)
I got hit with this wall halfway down the thread, really resonated with this comment.
Is he the one who gave final approval of the anonymous login-wall

From the second Tweet in the thread:

Twitter’s DAU has grown by over 87% since Q2 2018 and our team has shipped bold and exciting new evolutions to the product

You can't measure DAU precisely without logged-in users! So... yeah, that's probably a big part of how they got their DAU metric to grow 87%...
I misread your comment, thinking "2 million views" is not that much, how can it be 0.2% of the entire platform? Then I realized you said "videos" not "views"... That's insane.
Another view : Curiosity is profitable. If you spent some time digging into the technologies and trying them out, you ended up buying a bunch of tokens/coins to play with, and sometimes they just handed out early users money. It isn’t all jpegs and cheaters- lots of interesting technology problems.. read some of the white papers you will find skill and mathematics in loads.

"SEC is investigating Elon Musk over his late disclosure that he had purchased Twitter stock"

https://www.businessinsider.com/sec-investigates-elon-musks-...
> No, but it helps corporate create an image of a fun, playful workplace

Nah, all of these corporate 'pet names' are applied unilaterally, by the executives to the workers. Condescension is the point. The application of such a nickname is a show of power, meant to remind workers of their place in the system.
CEOs of large companies that are forced out during acquisitions often fail upward. It really depends on how they behave right before the close. Effectively, the CEO has to advocate for the company and get the most out of the acquisition, and if they do, they are often rewarded (with seats on board or choice of next job). realistically, he will be able to retire for life after this if he chooses, and will be able to select a job offer that works well for him.
Interesting to think how many 10^6 faster gates would be needed to do the work of 10^9 at the same speed. Say take the 8086 and make it a million times faster. At about 30K transistors and 5MHz. A photonic 8086 apparently would run blindingly fast around anything available now.

Serial speed is always a gain up, no questions asked I guess.

Obviously all of that is over simplified, and not considering other components to any system that would be built (but hey, it's not like any of this is happening tomorrow anyway).
Yes but the thing is that you know that this "asset class" is unregulated - in fact it's one of its strongest selling points and one of the traits people tout as a benefit - it should be abundantly clear that "non-scams" are the exception not the norm.

If I write "i owe you a billion dollars for your 64 diamonds" on a minecraft sign you shouldn't be surprised if I don't hold up my end of that.
No, why would you think that?

His wealth is mostly owning 20% of Tesla, plus some extra few billions from owning significant fractions of SpaceX, The Boring Company, and Neuralink. Presumably there’s some cash in there as well, but on his scale a hundred million is a rounding error.
Vampires are unbecoming.

This is why the SV billionaires need to create the metaverse. The matrix had a the right idea, just keep the young plugged in to VR and use machines to do the dirty work.
The only positive change I can remember in the last 5 or so years (besides maybe extending the character count which I'm neutral about) is the toggle to go back to chronological tweets. You used to have to use lists of Tweetdeck, then they added an option but was hidden away or didn't stay default.

For all the hype AI/recommendations algorithms get I don't think it works well on a platform where you already choose who to follow.

Otherwise I've always wondered what the thousand Twitter employees do besides keeping the site running and advertising sales/development. Although I've never worked at a giant tech company before.
Yeah, liver is really high in a lot of nutrients hard to get elsewhere... it's hard to say what is causing the effect I notice.
The millions of people that joined crypto joined many years after Mt Gox, no they haven't heard of it.

A peg broke = a stable coin people thought was anchored to USD (ie= a safe place to park your money) suddenly lost 70% of its value overnight.
I find this to be the most hugely under-rated comment in this entire thread. Crypto is a diversification tactic in 2022 - that's it.
Everyone should have some sense of self-preservation and protect themselves from a market downturn. And the way you do this is to not put all your eggs in the same basket.

Americanising is building a language an accent bubble around the US.

I am a non native speaker with an accent and I am often surprised to see that some US citizens have a very hard time with my accent while non native speakers have no problem understanding me. I suspect it is due to some US citizen not being used to dealing with a variety of sounds and inflexions.
Mania or bubble. I don't consider crypto market overall to be any type of scam or scheme. Just like I don't consider stock, or housing market to be one. Even if there is insanity, scams, schemes and fraud inside all of them.
I hope you’re right. I hope Elon takes over and turns into a cesspit . Burn it to the ground once and for all, let the public stare into the abyss that their fellow humans.
> Can you point me to a case ... took

I think the idea is that of the risk posed by automation within inadequate workflows.

Which, incidentally, is a case-relevant reality in areas you yourself mentioned. And similarly, following there have been case-relevant realities of «repetitional damage, stress, potential job loss» - in other areas that still have caused troubles to citizens after inadequate workflows, and sometimes even owing to imperfect automation.
That's apparently how the human psyche works. You attribute to skill what was dumb luck. Very common in the stock market too.
The OS will actually copy both the raw text and text with formatting. It's up to the client app to let you choose which one to paste. Most of them offer both ("paste without formatting").
I think there's also the possibility that Parag is vying to keep his job as CEO, and so he's trying to guess what he thinks will impress Musk, and executing on it while he's still in charge.
>'Zuckerberg was right about his “clown car” comment.'

I was curious what this was because I don't think I've ever heard Zuckerberg say anything that was either remotely or intentionally funny:

Mark Zuckerberg: "Twitter is such as mess — it’s as if they drove a clown car into a gold mine and fell in."[1]

It's seems to be largely anecdotal but a funny comment none the less.

Crypto is highly volatile in general - we have seen this before.
I might be already there. Why do you want to move in and spoil it for us, who are already there? Find some other place, where building human hives is more welcome.
I mean you could also say the same about 13 virgins at the end of someone’s life.

Not every value is as other value.
I get reminded of the crypto.com commercial with Matt Damon that pretends as though buying Bitcoin is some grand adventure for those brave enough and looking to prove their masculinity.
Personally, I don’t have any shred of empathy for people who bet their hard earned money on silly coins.

If they had won (in the greater fool game), most of them would have celebrated all the way and deluded themselves that they were savvy investors.

Play stupid games, don’t be surprised when you get stupid prizes (e.g, losing your life savings).

I think it's based on the assumption that USDT was entering a death spiral, which looks to have been premature.
>Current bathroom bills

Is that government/public bathrooms or private businesses bathrooms? Aren't LGBT++ people extremely fond of saying "It's a private business, it can do whatever it wants", or does that only work when people critical of them are banned off the internet ?

>bans on transgender medical care

I'm highly, highly skeptical that a western country really did ban transgender "medical" care. Most likely it's an obscure law that just made it a private expense not paid for by tax money.

You can prove me wrong though.

>efforts to equate LGBTQ+ acceptance and care with grooming

I have a feeling that people who are reacting to pre-12-years-olds being shown pornographic imagery of 2 boys doing a sexual activity by defending it as "Queer sex education", I have just the slightest feeling, that those people are, indeed, defending what amounts to pedophilic tendencies. When those people are the most visible parts of a community and they're shouting their rather unusual opinions without the slightest pushback or dissent from others in the same community, I have a feeling, again just a very slight feeling, that this community does, in fact, present a very attractive affiliation for pedophiles.

In other words, if some people want to be treated as equal, maybe they should start acting as equals, respecting the things that everybody else respect. Maybe they should stop being the spoilt children of corporate giants who call for banning/firing anyone who looks at them funnily, maybe they should disavow clearly criminal tendencies within their own. Maybe they should stop treating a joke as a genocide.

Maybe then, just maybe, other people would start seeing them as ordinry humans with the same duties, and consequently the same rights and respect, as the rest of us.
Are Spaces, Fleets, or Topics considered successes?
I agree. Words matter and have specific meanings. I'm tired of words being subverted for other purposes. Like "chemical free". So, you're telling me it contains...nothing? Or organic foods which has absolutely nothing to do with the meaning of organic from a chemistry standpoint. Conflating terms like this is purposeful misinformation with the intent to confuse and mislead (usually so you can charge more because the consumer thinks they're getting something different than what they're actually being peddled). The most charitable I could call it would be anti-consumer.

From a cursory look at WorkOS, it's not an OS. It's at best an app framework.
Yes, I agree. That's probably why hintymad shared the context of not being raised in the US.
For many/most, a stable coin was the exact opposite of a bet. It's not mean to grow in value, it's not meant to lose value, it's just meant to follow USD. They didn't think they were taking a bet, they thought they were storing their assets in something equals to US dollar. That's what the whole industry has been telling them, that's why they are called STABLEcoin.
Looks really cool! The verification email went to spam – I used my Gmail email. Also, I refreshed the page when I finished setting up and the "Generating Recommendations" message disappeared. I can't tell if it finished and didn't come up with anything, or if it's still crunching the numbers.

Well, you rely on a bunch of intermediaries, but the profit incentive outweighs the power of any large (but still minority) intermediary blocking specific transactions at will.

In reality, instead of trolling this guy... I just left the team so I didn't have to work with him anymore. Which is the correct, mature, professional thing to do.

There is a different interpretation: Crypto enabled tax dodgers and black markets.

If the market was highly/certainly confident the deal was going to go through it would be at ~54.20$ or higher (technically, although not likely much higher).

If you're 100% sure the deal goes through then that's essentially a free 6$ per share guaranteed right now.
There is a moral imperative to stop crypto/NFTs/etc, especially from those most vulnerable to it, the young.

We are putting the planet in peril already without the existence of this pointless technology, which represents the first net-negative invention of Computer Science. As a discipline we must evolve to apply an ethical lens to what we do, just as other sciences have had to do with time.

When there is a global surplus of clean energy then we can look to burn it on a distributed global casino.

Until then there are countless better ways to use it. And yes, Crypto isn't the only wasteful use of energy, but it sure is the most obnoxious.
>If you are copying over, for example, a paragraph or a list for a paper, you'd want the formatting, right?

Not really. For lists it may make some sense, but then if it brings the bullet style/spacing/etc from the source it still wouldn't work for me.
Wow this was definitely a pessimistic click for me, I was thinking "trying to replace SQL? How stupid!" But it just looks like SQL with all the stuff you wish SQL had, and some more stuff you didn't even know you wanted.
Always is a strong word. I know someone who had a caring family and friend group, yet it was a stranger that tried to assault them. This was during that idealized era before all the modern safety practices. Thankfully they were smart enough to escape to a neighbor's house.

Statistics may indicate greatest risk is people you know, but that's an average. Ultimately it's best to take reasonable precautions and teach kids what behavior to watch for, healthy boundaries, and how to react.

> What difference does it make whether the control and output have the same form of energy when the real thing that matters is the information it captures?

A logic gate itself doesn't do much useful computation, you have to chain them together.

But how do you chain them, if they use a laser beam as input and an electrical charge as output? You have to use the electrical charge to drive a laser... which is much slower and more energy intensive than a classical logic gate in a modern integrated circuit.
You have it all backwards. The PoW is useful work because it helps secure my hard-earned savings against very high inflation my country is dealing with (I store my savings in Bitcoin). While many other (non-PoW) energy uses you have in mind are useless for me.
Twittalowda is the non-colonial term, I think.
It's kind of interesting how all this damage was done in the name of "protecting" "vulnerable persons", and yet here we are, where the most vulnerable will get screwed.

Some demand can be cut with breast feeding, if that's still an option for some mother's. Some demand can be cut by weaning off formula earlier.

But for the most part, this will be negated by overstocking.

Then the fighting for scarce resources wins. And it's the people with money that can afford to stock up when the most expensive place in town has formula in stock.

I figure the government itself is the prime amplifier of vulnerable persons getting screwed. Picking winners and losers might seem like a good idea until you realize this very act creates more losers, even if successfully reducing iniquities.
