My previous comment was a bit harsh. I didn’t Have coffee I apologize.

I still think that 30M is a bit too much for a problem that is already solved.

We will see what they are able to do with the funding.

Good luck to the team
MAE clauses are not diligence clauses. And in the history of M&A, it has been activated once, in 2017 [1], under circumstances very different from these.

Yes, we are in agreement. Your points and my post are not mutually exclusive. Just looking at things from different perspectives.
The much circulated email was the email sent to the executive team, not the employees.

And the layoff isn't 10% of all workers. It was 10% of salaried workers, a much smaller amount.

This goes exactly to the point of the person you responded to. The media blows up smaller news items into bigger ones for clickbait.

Intrusive lists are better, sure, but pointer-jumping will still throw away the (absolutely astonishingly large) benefits of the cache, unless you’re careful. And avoiding pointer-jumping is not an automatic win from using intrusive lists — you still need to allocate/lay out your stack conscientiously. And a very similar argument can be made for bounded arrays as an alternative to std::vector.

Also, I only skimmed it, but the article seems to ignore the fact that even for an unbounded/growing array like std::vector, the growth strategy does not free+malloc/realloc on each insertion in practice, as the growth strategy will leave unused capacity for future insertions, and in such cases the cost is just memmove (for simple types at least). Maybe I missed that part, but it seems like an important point worth highlighting.

You also need plate tectonics. And exactly the right level of stellar radiation for the carbonate-silicate cycle to work, if you want photosynthesis, and without that you likely won't have anywhere near enough energy available for complex life.

Get any of it wrong and life either won't develop, or will wreck its own biosphere in an unrecoverable way very early on and get wiped out (if there was ever life on Mars, that's my bet for why traces of it are elusive—it wasn't around very long, wasn't very complex, and it was a very long time ago).

He wants accurate information after he explicitly waived his right to do due diligence when he was trying to force Twitter’s board to accept his price? He didn’t think of it before?
That’s just not how complexity analysis works, if there’s a bound anywhere, it is O(1). The behaviour below that bound may be of more practical importance, but it’s not how O-notation works. The parent comment doesn’t make a great deal of sense for other reasons, but your objections don’t hold either.

Thank you for the kind words, appreciate your support!
>He bought something that was damaged and its value went off a cliff.

He waived due diligence now is complaining about something that should have been obvious in advance, and in fact was one of the things he said was an issue with the platform that he'd fix.

>What kind of person would pay full freight for Twitter as the tech valuations plummet

The kind of person that signs a deal. Were he and his team not smart enough to offer fair value for the company? What kind of person absolves a billionaire from rules we all have to follow?

Seconded. When I have to use a desktop PC, I always use my Kingston Expert Mouse Wired. I hear they're better for ergonomics and I'm not sure about that since I've never had pain with any mouse, I just prefer that the trackball doesn't need any extra space or hand movements like a mouse does.
Yeah, exactly my point. World going to shit around us as a direct consequence of our lifestyles and nobody is going to do anything about it because they feel entitled to said lifestyle. We could do something, we choose not to.

Future generations will revile us, as we deserve that.
I looked close at replacing my current vehicles. A new EV minivan would cost more per month than gas in my wife's current van (which is paid for), but it won't last forever and the difference is not that much. Of course that assumes something that will work is available, in our case adjustable pedals a must (my wife is short) and nobody makes an EV minivan with them as far as I can tell.

My truck is a little trickier. The F150 lightening would do everything I need a truck for, but I drive my truck so rarely (one fill up per year). too bad nobody will rent me a truck for what I want t truck for.
>See also the recent news about how he pushes for 10% layoffs at Tesla.

These reports are wrong (Reuters is not reliable when it comes to leaks from Tesla).

Tesla intends to lay off about 10% of salaried workers, which make less than 50% of the company's headcount (mostly managers). The company confirmed they're still hiring and will have more employees by EOY versus the day they announced the planned layoff.
You can. Plug the GB camera into a SNES using a Super Gameboy, which is then uses an HDMI adapter to plug it into an HDMI capture card. Some HDMI capture cards like the Elgato Camlink act like USB webcams, so you can use them in Zoom without any additional software.

I’m generally weary of “clickbait” being used as an excuse for various things on HN, but this takes the cake: Elon is visible because he loves—nay, craves—attention.

Sure, the media reports on him a lot, but it’s because he gives them endless stuff to report on. He’s made himself the face of every company he owns, and gives ostentatious presentations of products that are often totally bananas (like the CyberTruck). He posts 2011-era memes on Twitter then randomly decides to talk about buying companies or taking companies private while tweeting questions about business strategy at their CEOs. He dated a pop star and they gave their child a name that sounds like a galaxy cluster.

For better or for worse, Elon’s intense visibility is his own doing, and the press is just along for the ride.

From my perspective this sounds like a great story with very little evidence to back it up. Look to South Texas as a counter example. There is a high percentage of immigrants, a high risk of disastrous impacts from climate change, and massively higher support for government intervention than other parts of the region, some counties even beating out Austin.

Looking at the maps it seems much more likely that the obvious thing is true, this is an issue driven almost entirely by political identity with a side helping of how badly you might actually feel the effects.

I get that a grand narrative of people pulling together feels nice, but if it isn't true its just a waste of time.

They are absolutely related topics, and especially in the context of a Royal Family whose head is literally also the head of state of the sprawling UK government and its otherwise non-monarchial bureaucracy. You claiming they're different things is very much off base.

That aside, it's a very important related debate that gets less attention from activist media than it fairly deserves. Many organizations and reporters spend enormous effort focusing on billions concealed by wealthy individuals and families, while taking for granted that governments should spend literally many, many trillions annually with little regard fo whether they should have a right to such vast sums.

The state is an abstraction in such a way that makes focusing dislike for it more difficult than against specific billionaire families jet setting around the world to move secret money, but the former causes far more waste, loss, theft and harm than these families do. It does this even while it often protects them and itself at the same time. The picture is complicated, but too often gets reduced to cliche emphasis on narratives of billionaires and Caribbean bank accounts.

To put it another way, the average Briton is little affected by the Royal Family receiving some marginally miniscule percentage of that person's taxes for some special favor or another. This same average Briton is however annually and enormously affected by the 20% to 45% income tax rate they pay to the state as a whole. Much of this money pays for needed services, yes, but what government wastes in its self-justified spending and the associated social harm are still far larger than what any Royal ever takes from any private individual.
Signals experience when you want to use it on more than just 1 phone per person is still TERRIBLE compared to Telegram.

If you use 2 computers, a phone, and a tablet and you want to use 1 Signal account on all 4, it's painful.

BONUS: Signal uses crypto funded by the US govt and used by Facebook, so I don't really trust it.

Anchor, who sold you those UST for 82-cents per 1 UST (aka: 18% APY), was "only going to win" when UST crashed below 82-cents.
There are environmentalists who have notably pulled back on the global warming alarm bells. Shellenberger and Lomborg are two notable examples. They still agree with the science, but think the rhetoric only inflames things and leads to unnecessary panic. Not saying they are right, but it's important to note scientists are not all in unison on this topic. The fact the media want you to thnk so should be a red flag, in my opinion. They create a fear that only instills a panic that forces you to accept their solution. These solutions should be rationally discussed and not stampeded into.
The simplest method is fasting.

If Hackernews taught me anything, it's that diet is the root cause for all major illness, and fasting is the cure.
It's definitely a feature, not a product. I've listened to a few of the live discussions on Twitter between experts in the Ukraine War (e.g. Michael Kofman and Rob Lee were in it), and definitely found that worthwhile. It was, essentially, a live podcast, that took some live questions.

So unlike some of the other commenters in this thread, I do think it has some value and isn't just for VCs' vanity, but it also just feels like a feature. I would never go out of my way to a site that only does this, but when I see a notification of a live stream when I'm already using Twitter, and the subject sounds interesting, I might join.
I think it's pretty obvious that having non-advertising programming on television increases their advertising revenue, since with 100% advertising that revenue would trend to zero.

It seems you don't actually mean that, so I guess we probably agree.

The final CO2 concentrations are not the problem. The problem is the speed of change.

Last time "the planet was much more hospitable", the temperature climb happened over a much, much longer time period.

The present speed of C02 increase is unprecedented in Earth's geological history.
The book "Turn the Ship Around" by David Marquet is basically along these lines. He worked to turn a poorly-performing submarine in the US Navy to one of the best. The gist is that he enabled autonomy and shared vision to reduce the top-down heavy handedness that they were usually used to, allowing for more efficient decision making.

That's a gross generalization, and it is still very hard to conceptualize, but thought provoking.
Yeah I don't exactly know why but it sounded like different jobs had to be within certain offices. Like if your team is in Mountain View and Seattle you can't necessarily work from Texas, you'd need to be an hour or whatever from one of those two offices.

> Ouch. A single round of SHA-1 means you can easily make over a million attempts per second on a single general-purpose processor...

That's FUD: you cannot connect to a remote anywhere nearly that fast. Fossil's passwords are hashed in such a way that they are useless for any repository clone other than the one they were established on. Even if i manage to get your password hash, it doesn't do me any good unless i have physical access to the exact copy of the repository on which that password was initially stored/hashed, because only that copy has the secret key needed to reverse-engineer your password. Local physical access trumps any and all security measures.

Well … sometimes you’re trying to blast through typing and can’t be bothered to stop to type an apostrophe (try other contractions without apostrophe and you’ll see what I mean). In that case the auto expansion is helpful. But I agree it’s as likely to get it wrong as not :) which is annoying.
I would like a physical version of the status message. An e-ink or other low res display with up to 160 char, connected to the internet, which I can place on my desk and can update from my phone to let my co-workers know where I am. Does something like this already exist?
That’s like saying that one person will dominate the tv show survivor. In reality new cliques and alliances form all the time, power shifts and swirls as alliances coalesce and disperse. We will still have wars and disasters and things that no one person can control. Plus, people will still die just not necessarily from the disease of aging. I often notice that people resist something they are afraid of by thinking it will cause a disaster to change how things are. I think you are subconsciously afraid that it’s too good to be true. In reality it will be like penicillin or vaccines — massive improvement and not much else.

> The article is from 2016. I doubt passwords are still stored in plaintext.

Fossil has not stored a plaintext password in many years (2008-ish). Only a one of the small handful of "first-generation" repositories has any chance whatsoever of having such a password (and only if the user has never updated their password since then).
Unfortunately, most Republicans in Congress (and Trump) don't believe in human made climate change. But I guess that's not a surprise, since they don't believe in human evolution and other scientific models.

There will never be any major solution here in the US unless this changes
We could go back and forth on this all day. The point is, there is no hard and set clause that says Musk waived all his due diligence rights or right to verify any information. We will see how the case plays out in court:
-------

Twitter is obligated to provide, information and data for, inter alia, “any reasonable business purpose related to the consummation of the transaction” (Section 6.4). Twitter must also provide reasonable cooperation in connection with Mr. Musk’s efforts to secure the debt financing necessary to consummate the transaction, including by providing information “reasonably requested” by Mr. Musk (Section 6.11). Mr. Musk’s requests for user data not only satisfies both criteria, but also meets even Twitter’s narrowed interpretation of the merger agreement, as this information is necessary to facilitate the closing of the transaction.
Massive wars, displacement on a scale never seen before, famine. In short: go watch some movie about the apocalypse, then multiply by 10 or so unless they include the earth becoming entire uninhabitable because that likely will not happen. But for the vast majority of our species, and many others besides it will be permanent curtains. And I'm not sure if you could call the survivors lucky.

It's not that the CO2 level itself would be fatal to humans, it is the cascade from large scale agricultural collapse that would do us in.
What got him to the point he didn't want to be like that anymore? From what he said, seeing how harmful and counter-productive it was, and how unhappy it made him and others.
Twitter owns the data, stop acting like it is HIPPA data. Completely unsure where you are getting this PII concern from. They could change their TOS and release everything in a plain text file if they so pleased.

It is 100% legal and ok for them to look at every piece of information they have about every account and analyze it for bot activity, or allow Elon's team to look at the same data.
I wouldn’t be surprised if they each had their ‘petty’ reasons as well. You have to lose faith in the people around you and the system at large before you feel you can go rogue. I personally burned a pretty significant relationship and my career in the process when the Trump military trans ban came through. I had by that point been hit with many petty injustices and indignities, but it was ban that finally brought me over the edge.
> What kind of person absolves a billionaire from rules we all have to follow?

Twitter have two options if Elon refuses to close. They can sue him. Or they can settle. The former will be a multi-year boondoggle for everyone involved. Nobody wants that. But neither does either side want to settle for less than they can get.

Both are thus positioning to make it seem like they'll make the boondoggle the boondoggliest if they're forced to face it. Twitter isn't great at theatrics. Elon is. Thus, he's taking the lead. That said, it remains in both parties' rational interests to appear willing to pursue their aims to an irrational extent in the courts, so the other side settles for less than that. Keep that in mind over the coming weeks.

Point is, yes, when you're a billionaire, signing a contract means something different from you or myself because the cost of enforcing a $44bn deal is minuscule compared to the cost of the deal. (And in this, he's far from unique.)
