The other poster is saying that what’s happening is there are MORE vehicles so carbon production continues to rise.

That the real deal is figuring how to reduce the number of vehicles in total.

Is the F150 Lightning better than commuting to work in a deuce and half? Sure. But it is not carbon neutral or negative except when compared to something worse - and there’s always something worse that could be compared.

@Max I loved watching your livestream of building Feedback Fish! Congrats on this product, I basically handrolled something like this using Cloudflare Workers. Would have been amazing to have this out the box. Good luck for the future
I used to admire him until probably a year ago and always liked him for saying what it is but recently I've had enough of him. I feel like he has no empathy for people and he has no class anymore. Just look at the 10% layoff email he sent to Tesla employees and see if you can find any empathy in this email.
You can see it in other media, too. Same tired tropes most of the time.

You can even see it in social media, you can make out the common tropes shaped by the society/culture/subculture/mainstream media and while original thoughts and non-us/them|black/white comments are there, they get downvoted. Which is pretty sad. All the while, everyone thinks they're right and better than everyone else.

Japan's entertainment is not that different imo, most of it uses the same tropes, maybe with a small difference (that they later forget about). But yeah, some actually original content shows up more often.
My preferred speculation is simply that faster-than-light travel is impossible, so all the tool-using aliens out there are not visiting us because they can't, and we can't hear their signals because it gets lost against the background noise.

I mean, would we be able to detect our own civilization from a few lightyears out? Apparently, unless you're pointing a radio telescope right at something, you woudn't be able to pick up human civilization levels of radio from more than a lightyear out. Say there's one smart tool-using civilization per 5000 lightyear volume, then they're unlikely to meet.
> Would it be fair to buy a company that 20% of its "customers" are fake?

Yes. for a number of reasons.

1) You carry the investigation BEFORE filling to buy (he waived the investigation).

2) Twitter never said 5% are bots, they said 5% of monetasible daily users are bots. Thats a very important distinction, and one Musk is well aware off. Because he has used bots to affect tesla stock price before.

3) No one forced him to put a 40 billion offer on the table, but once its on, it affects the market so you cannot back away willie nilly. Thousands of people made choices based on him filling that offer, he has to deal with the responsability and the consequences.

> He is forcing twitter to be honest or to at least audit it.

No, he is trying to use public sentiment. Like your comment, to not have to pay the 1,000,000,000 fine if he doesn't buy it. And he will have to pay it because he company is now worth much less and he is trying to find a way to weasel away.
> Signal has a push token for the vast majority of accounts otherwise they wouldn't be able to send out push notifications on iOS

It's technically possible for them to not know which phone numbers correspond to which devices and tokens.
We are not only indirectly subsidizing cars, we are directly subsidizing it in several ways.

It can be in the form of direct support of various activities of the petroleum industry, such as drilling, refinement and pipelines in the name of creating new jobs, but also in giant infrastructure projects reserved for cars, and legal requirements of square meter prices for car parking many orders of magnitude below market cost.

It was the way post-war society was built up and will take a very long time to change. It's so entrenched that once you start seeing it, it is really everywhere.
It's interesting how conservative icons in America nowadays are men who flaunt the law in the most visible ways.

I guess it comes down to this Frank Wilhoit quote:

"Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect."
I'm sorry it took this long ;-)
I never used Clubhouse, but most Twitter Spaces aren't really like that. The reason is because unlike normal Twitter only a limited number of people are speakers, and you have to be selected by the host to speak. It's more like niche panel shows with a live audience, and sometimes Q+A with people being selected from the audience to ask a question.
Morrowind's combat is likened to dice rolls, until you get to a high enough skill to reliably hit. Ranged combat is the worst, since you can see an arrow physically connect but not have effect.

Once I got my axe skill boosted to high hell and used a Bound Battleaxe (+10 Axe skill while holding), it felt like I could bring almost anything to its knees. Even better, the axe was tied to a constant-effect enchant on a piece of jewelry, so I could resummon in 0.1s by taking the ring off/on if I needed to.

There's also https://opentimestamps.org/ for timestamping into the bitcoin blockchain using a 'calendar aggregation' concept. Clients get back a merkle tree of hashes that can be used to show inclusion in a published hash on the blockchain.

I've been using opentimestamps/ots for a few years now. It can be used to show a specific version of a file existed as early as the proof date. Unfortunately the only other value seems to be showing that if you had doctored a file then that happened at least as early as the timestamp and not later.
This is a really fantastic point, especially considering Slack lets you just get pulled in to something without accepting the invite or consenting to join. I prefer properly run chat channels over DMs (knowledge silos are bad), but the fact that Slack would let someone create a room, invite you to it, and start `@channel` blasting at any time is wild. At least we get the ability to snooze notifications based on time, I guess.
> Would the wiki part of fossil be a good static site generator?

Not in the general case, no. Fossil-generated wiki/markdown output expect to be browsed within the context of a fossil repository, and will generate links accordingly. There might be very limited use cases where it would work reasonably well, but not generically. e.g. adding a link to a local file or another wiki page will not work if the output is browsed from outside of a fossil repo instance.
I believe that, in the long run, any Open Source variant of "WunderGraph" will outperform closed-source variants. It's just so much harder to get people to adopt closed-source products these days.
1. Well, present me your personal definition of morality and I will explain why proprietary software is immoral from your personal definition (or why is it moral - which would mean that your moral axioms are different than mine, which could shine light to the core of our disagreement).

2. You are being shortsighted. What if your washing machine misbehaves, and the company that manufactured it went out of business years ago and cannot provide support? What if you have a programmer buddy that could fix your washing machine for a bottle of beer, yet you're forced to spend hundreds on a new one? What if a dictator implements a surveillance device inside a washing machine, using it to spy on whistleblowers and lock them up? There are countless scenarios where free software matters. Just because you don't personally care, doesn't mean you won't care some day, if the situation arises. Just because you have nothing to say right now, doesn't mean you don't need free speech.

3. Sex has nothing in common with software distribution.

4. I am now convinced that you are trolling. When format is open, there are usually quite a few free implementations, and you can easily (pay someone to) implement your own, if none of the free implementations are satisfactory. You are not forced to run a proprietary program that may or may not be bundled with malware, depending on the developer's mood.
For a crowd sourced dataset, a strict ontology anyway wouldn't work. Instead of messy tag definitions you'd have tag use that didn't align with the definitions.

I don't mean that as an argument against improving the tagging!

The biggest friction point is probably that people resist rationalization of tagging schemes that have demonstrated themselves to be problematic.

The tagging system in the iD editor tries to address the issue, supporting search terms and suggesting related tags and so on.

The article is more about the underlying storage of the geometries (I don't think there is the same level of interest in changing the basic approach to tagging/categorization).
Do you work for Twitter or any large company that handles massive amounts of user data? You seem to know a lot about how this works.
He may not be particularly leveraged, but one could argue that a significant portion of his net worth in the form of Tesla's sky-high valuation is more or less "faith-based". To what extent his Twitter excursion would erode that faith and precipitate a steep drop in Tesla's stock price is still not completely known. So in that sense, it's possible to debate about whether he really "has the money" to do this deal.
> If your justification is (say) that you have a God-given right to sexually exploit children with impunity, then yes, I'd say that qualifies you as an extremist.

Nobody took advantage of the opportunity! I will now.

I am somewhat involved in a restoration project of a building in Italy (pet project, not my job, I'm a tech guy).

There is a water canal nearby, and therefore there's a plan B that involves exchanging heat with the water in the canal.

I love a good out of left field comment! People are so quick to assume and paint everyone with an extremely blunt brush. We'd all be better to not do that and engage in meaningful conversations with each other rather than rely on what we think we know about everyone's political associations.
Also the larger vehicles are taxed lower so there’s perverse incentives on all sides.

A scaled tax based on vehicle weight compared to number of seats or something would make the smaller cars more attractive.
As someone who has configured a number of products like this I have to say I find it all to be "nerd candy". As in it's a lot of fun to setup but not very fulfilling and I can never change my habits to actually use the dashboard (even ones that can show relevant info about the apps they link to, like up/down speed or other stats).

I'd be interested in hearing from people who have set this (or an alternative) up and use it daily/regularly. For me I just always go to myservice.mydomain.com directly. I normally only have to type 2-3 letters before it pops up for me and it's way faster than going to first to a dashboard/launch page, finding my service, and clicking on it.
I call him with a first name basis because he's probably the person I know best outside my very best friends and my own family. I've been following and listening to him for a decade now and I know his personality well.

Twitter is where he plays around, but his thoughtful personality comes through face to face in talks and interviews. That's what shows how Elon got to where he is. No other CEO talks with the clarity like he does (ironically in a stuttering fashion).

It's not because of a "cult". It's because of his insight into things I had never put that much thought into. He's broken a lot of my own assumptions about how things are supposed to work. He's literally changed how I think as an engineer.
This isn't about whether you would, it is about whether I should be able to compel you.
I think many (including myself) find this Twitter purchase symbolic of his general demeanour — rather than a careful and calculated decision it appears to be an impulse purchase.

The value of Twitter may have decreased since he made his offer, and he may want to back out, but he (impulsively) made an agreement to purchase it, so backing out comes with the responsibility of $1 billion.
When I was a kid and took programming lessons in high school, they taught us about linked lists,using Pascal or C.

Back then, there weren't any list like data structures backed by arrays, like List from C# and Vector from C++.

But learning linked lists was a good thing, we also had to learn about pointers and how memory is layed out, so we also knew that sequential access to memory is faster. Also, learning about stack vs heap, CPU caches, made a big difference in how we wrote programs and how we continued to write programs 25 years later.

So I think I was lucky starting with Pascal and C, continuing with C++ instead of starting with Python or Javascript.
You might as well be asking them to argue that the moon landing was real.

It was released in a “talking indictment” of some GRU hackers.

You’d very rarely want to release this as it would compromise sources and methods. Due to the extreme public interest we do actually know the info came from the Dutch intelligence agency, who among other things were tapping the GRU’s security cameras.
It was reported on by several news outlets. As I mentioned, it was my understanding based upon these reports.

I did some research and found this statement from Twitter’s Schedule 14A proxy statement filed on May, 17, 2022:

> Mr. Musk also disclosed that his acquisition proposal was no longer subject to the completion of financing and business due diligence.

He waived due diligence. If I offer to buy a house and waive contingencies, I can’t subsequently use an inspection report to back out of the sale claiming the house was misrepresented to me.
Cool. I’m looking forward to seeing Elon and his “now-non-managers” in their snazzy uniform and ball cap joining in for morning calisthenics and singing.

My understanding is that land plants are probably doing better. However, the acidification of the oceans is the real problem. Despite what most people think, at least half of our oxygen comes from marine plants. The main concerns it that continued acidification will continue to decrease plankton growth and have drastic effects on the entire ocean ecosystems.

Surprised to see this take from you. We could also have your parents, grandparents, siblings, kids, grandkids not get sick and suffer terribly before being discarded like garbage. And we can keep all the amazing people who fight for good. Oh wait, that would mean we can’t stick it to some bad people, never mind.
Read section 7.2 - obligations of company state that all of the public information of Twitter shall be true and correct. Elon is only trying to verify that the public filing is correct

Could it be that buying Twitter was just a pretext for unloading billions of dollars' worth of overvalued Tesla stocks without causing the stock to tank?

> Misleading a buyer about user count is material, even if musk is acting in bad faith

Materiality with respect to MAE/MAC clauses is way more demanding.

The first (and to my understanding, only) time Delaware found an MAE was in 2017. That was after a material fall in revenue alongside ignored (and hidden) whistleblower complaints and the company scaling back basically all QA spending right after signing the merger agreement [1]. So 33%+ drop in revenue and 300% drop in operating income + fraud + negligence rivaling sabotage.

One of the ways to stay rich is to use leverage. Using 100% of your own funds is unheard of. Musk obviously is not going to risk $44b of his personal fortune on Twitter.
As an agency we've built several projects with GraphQL, with either Hasura or GraphQL Nexus powered APIs. We love the declarative syntax of GraphQL, and Hasura is very approachable, but I had some underlying architecture concerns for more serious projects (that Jens did a great job of summarising in one of his blog posts: https://wundergraph.com/blog/the_complete_graphql_security_g...). WunderGraph basically gives you the best of both worlds, a more secure way of using GraphQL without losing the convenience & DX.

WunderGraph also has an interesting take on GraphQL subscriptions, as described here: https://wundergraph.com/blog/deprecate_graphql_subscriptions...

At a glance WunderGraph and Hasura seem to be solving some of the same problems - i.e. aggregating external GraphQL & REST APIs, generating an API for you over your own database...

BUT - WunderGraph generates your own custom SDK (fully typesafe) for use in your frontend code. This super tight coupling makes for a really great developer experience. Hasura is less opinionated in that way, you can use any GraphQL client library and codegen/introspection tooling - but you have to wire it all together yourself. The Hasura console UI also feels frustrating to use at times (e.g. bulk editing permissions), and testing your schema programatically is cumbersome.

You can do advanced RBAC with WunderGraph, writing queries/mutations ("operations") for each role, and custom logic is possible via hooks that you can write in typescript.

It all just feels very well thought out and extensible. As an agency you want to use consistent tooling across different client projects to minimise technical debt and maintenance effort, but that tooling also has to be super flexible to deal with different client requirements. It's early days for us with WunderGraph but the maintainers are very approachable and it is already feeling like a safe 'bet' to me
I believe he waived his right to due diligence, which is why the deal went through so quickly.

If he now regrets that, it’s his own fault.
There are MANY couples for whom a balanced approach is financially and emotionally suboptimal.

If spouse A has earning potential of $300k/yr, and spouse B has earning potential of $50k/yr, and child care costs $40k/yr, it's absolute batshit insanity to take a "balanced approach" and A. lose money on a net-of-taxes basis whilst B. seeing your children less.
The 5% number has been there for ages. https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2022/05/13/twitter...

> The number is hardly new: Twitter has been giving the same estimate for years, even though critics and experts have said they believe the company is lowballing the actual number of such accounts.

If Musk wanted the deal contingent on this very specific data point, he should've said so before he committed to the $1B cancellation fee and made it part of that agreement.
I had previously failed to find the Notification settings under Privacy that another commenter pointed me to--I think these solve my problem. If you found even more granular settings, please let me know where you're setting them.

A few months ago, I swear I went through every single setting in the app and failed to find anything like this, so maybe they've since updated their settings page?
If anything, countries should stop fossil fuels as a matter of their own security. The Russia situation alone should be a wakeup call for Europe. E-bikes, electric cars, solar, electrified rail, and heat pump systems should be a top priority for every country for that reason alone.

Thanks! Which papers? And in summary, what do they say?
I'm confused as to why the amount of bots means much to Musk in this deal. I know he mentioned that he wants to eliminate them which is an admirable goal but as to the methodology to discern which account is a bot account versus a real person isn't exact which is what the current CEO admitted to in a thread. The whole idea of just taking a sample of 100 twitter accounts and testing them may not be the best option to make that determination. If Musk was serious about the bot issue then he should be happy to throw a few million at the problem independently rather than waiting for Twitter Inc to do the same job. Absent his move to purchase Twitter, there's nothing stopping him from building up that analysis. He's just using it as a smokescreen, in my opinion, to get out of the acquisition.
I think the PG version would be:

I assume you get most of your news from mass media and their "BREAKING" headlines? If so, I'm not surprised you hold that view.

Accusations of the US "in decline" were happening back in the 60's and 70's when things were much worse than they are now, like order of magnitude worse.

As I said, navel gazing and lack of perspective tend to dominate news in coverage of the US.

Since (IIRC) late 2021, you can view a diff in your browser with:

fossil diff -b

A checkin cannot be performed via the UI. That has to be done via the CLI.

Fossil has, for many years, supported:

for a TK-based diff view, but that only works on systems with working tcl/tk installations.

I think the point was exactly that the author of the parent comment is not just an average citizen. As you grow, you tend to (IMHO, rightly) feel more and more responsibility for people around you.
Exactly. If this Kurzgesagt video is to be believed, then the average road costs as much carbon to build PER METRE (!!) as it takes to produce one car:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yiw6_JakZFc

Heavier vehicles like trucks (and EVs are heavier in general) cause much quicker degradation of roads. And doubling down on private vehicle use with EVs is going to increase demand for roads across the board. It's just so far from a useful solution to go down this route.
