> Dumping the woke cry babies is the right decision here. Engagement only serves to embolden work cry bullies who are used to getting their way.

By reacting emotionally and using terms like "work cry babies" you weaken your own ability to think critically and fairly about this. You are also more likely to derail the conversation and prevent debate with people who may disagree with your views but could be open to them. Save these sorts of insults and grandstanding for reddit and twitter and keep them off of hn.

> If you look at other companies that give the woke cry bullies and their subjective feelings precedent over the mission, you can see that it creates a toxic workplace, hostile environments, further segmentation of workers into cliques, and other unpleasantries that hurt the mission, and ultimately the bottom line for that company.

I am willing to explore your argument that engaging with members of a company that are overly critical of that company hurts the company in the long term. Can you cite some examples?

> If you look at the nuances; they were fired for participating in actions that can not only be considered insubordination

The question I have is not if the company did or did not have a legal right to fire them. I'll leave that to the legal professionals. Rather I wonder if engagement with dissenters in this case would be harmful or productive. I tend to favor the notion that systems which attempt to maintain unity by casting out those who offer dissenting public voices tend to become monocultures and echo chambers. I don't discount the value of monocultures and echo chambers, they can be extremely valuable, but I don't see how SpaceX benefits by building one.
> If crypto bubble bursting is what precipitates the next recession

It isn't. The "crypto bubble" also includes an over-inflated sense of the significance of crypto-currencies.
It's interesting to note that it wasn't Tether which imploded, that everybody here say it's such an obvious scam that it will blow AnyMomentNow for 4 years, but Luna, Celsius and Three Arrows Capital, names that were not mentioned on HN at all.

Sim Central Bank, the Explanation
Yet the hallmark of government is that to most of its employees the cost to the state is an entirely immaterial concern. Even to the state it can often be a wash if part of it comes from say federal funding, or what you are doing can ensure you are reelected and still have a job next year. Not to mention the plain old corrupt people:

What an incredibly myopic viewpoint.

That little “rule” sounds so smart, huh? That people are just dumb and there is no pattern to anything. It’s all random and people are just fumbling about, doing “stupid” or “random” shit. Their mind is distracted because they need to pick up their child froms school.

But it’s not even about malice or intent. It’s about patterns and analysis of how the media operates. You observe if things are slanted in a certain way. If they give one side the benefit of the doubt while the other not so much.

It’s not about finding evidence of the inner workings/mind of some run of the mill journalist. It’s about seeing what kind of output certain outlets put out. On aggregate.

This has been done before. It can be done.

And how do you disregard such good work? By half-quoting—it’s so cliche that you won’t lower yourself to finish the pseudo-quote—some smarter-than-thou, above the fray nonsense which fundamentally confuses individual intent (i.e. “conspiracy”) with aggregate analysis, all because you got hung up on the particular-sounding “bias of the journalist”, which could originally have been meant to be illustrative[1] and could have been taken as such in a charitable reading, especially since it’s not like any of us even remember the byline of this article.

Twitter isn't a public forum for speech. You need to have an account to use Twitter, for which you agree to abide by Twitter's terms of service, in which Twitter reserves the right to moderate and ban content as they see fit. Marsh v. Alabama applied to physical property and AFAIK hasn't been definitively extended to online "properties" like Twitter.

In Manhattan Community Access v. Halleck[0], however, the Court ruled against the premise in regards to a public access television station, and maintained that the station remained a private actor despite being a "public forum."

Only bit of nonsense in the article was, "'You couldn’t go out and buy a bunch of vineyard land for a solar project and make it economical,' Healdsburg utilities director Terry Crowley said."

You could site solar in a vineyard, though, and get both better crop yield and better efficiency. But that is not a reason not to put solar on your reservoir, too.
Very cool! I work in a banking adjacent industry, and this is mildly entertaining. Do you have any plans to create an accounting firm simulator for more entertaining games?

Just explain why Republicans defend confederate statues...

There is little to associate the modern Republican party with, for example, Lincoln's party. Are Republicans of today going to enforce those reparations you're waiting on??? Your one-sided painting of the situation is a useless way to frame reality.
This ignores the realignment of the parties in the 1940s. See the formation of the States' Rights Democratic Party (Dixiecrats). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dixiecrat
I don't care about your US labels regarding Republicans and Democrats. And your assertion that the KKK weren't conservative laughable.

Your repeated attempts at condescension say much about you and how unfairly you feel life and other people treat you.
Wall St owns the US government and runs the US economy. Cryptoc is nothing like that.
> I agree, but there's another way to think about this: every prison is for profit.

Even publicly owned prisons have to contract out and outsource a lot of the services they need. Private companies supply food, maintenance, cleaning, IT, supplies, construction, architecture and so on.

Private companies also benefit from the cheap to free forced labor they get from government-owned prisons, as well.

There are layers to the grift that lines the pockets of private interests in the prison industry, and those layers certainly don't end at whether a prison is privately owned or not.
I believe it until the pattern stops. No other reason to believe people won't continue to be addicted to gambling.

Only bit of nonsense in the article was "Building these long, thin solar arrays could prevent more than 80,000 acres of farmland or natural habitat from being converted for solar farms." Solar can be erected in working farmland, too.
You went from a providing an astute observation in the first comment to providing vague platitutes about leaders (waves hands) in the next one. Way to go.

The deadlines of those poor journalists—and their kids!—is hardly the main problem with the Media. But you probably already know that.
Twitter is hardly the only platform you can use to broadcast your opinions. Being fired from your job is just as likely to massively reduce your ability to get your message out to others as is being blocked from posting on a single privately owned messaging service, if not more so.
Legally I doubt either could be seen as being in contravention of any free speech laws, but it's fair enough to see Elon's actions as somewhat hypocritical.
I blocked a news source and I still see it in the Top Stories area all the time. It made me wonder what the point was.

It also bombarde me with celebrity gossip I don’t care about. I’ve started hitting the button to hide certain topics, but I’m always hesitant. I don’t need to know every time Will Smith posts a tweet, but if he slaps Chris Rock in the middle of an award show, I’d be interested in that. Apple News seems to have trouble surfacing just the big stuff I might care about.

That being said, I do like they it gives me access to the WSJ.

Given that the typo was made 3 times (suggesting that it's a misunderstanding, rather than a mistake), hopefully you will take this comment in the educational manner in which it's intended rather than being a snide "gotcha" - it's COBOL, not COBAL.
The dark forest is the dumbest concept. Nature advertised our presence a long time ago. Any aliens with a telescope able to gather spectra of Earth would be able to determine with a reasonable certainty life exists here. Any aliens with such a telescope within about 200 light years would be able to say with a reasonable certainly a technological civilization lives here, with that certainty increasing the longer they conduct observations.

Before the Industrial Revolution Earth was teeming with biomarkers. After the IR we not only have biomarkers but increasing industrial pollutants in the atmosphere. Such markers are interesting because they are short lived and need replenishment. It's the same reason we look for them.

The sphere advertising the Industrial Revolution is ever expanding. Anyone that can gather spectra of Earth will see it once the light reaches them. So there's no hiding from any aliens that happen to be looking.

But the dark forest theory gets more absurd with the idea that some alien species upon seeing a technological civilization on Earth is them going to hope in their spaceships for a visit. Ignoring entirely that space is fucking huge and physics is unforgiving.

Some alien species that had the capability to fly the obscene distance to Earth would by definition have the capability to fully exploit all the resources in their own solar system (which is gigantic). They could also save themselves the effort of an invasion by exploiting uninhabited solar systems much closer to them (also gigantic). For as awesome as Earth is, it doesn't have any unobtainium some hyper advanced species couldn't find elsewhere.

Any aliens with the capability of visiting us already has the capability to detect us. We can't go un-advertise ourselves.

I believe that should have been phrased very differently, my mistake.

What I meant is that I can easily imagine a better interviewer. He is a bit dull and uses the word "love" too much for my taste, but that's about it, to be honest. Compared to many other podcasters/minor celebrities, this is really nothing serious, just personal preference. I believe he is a genuinely nice person who wants everyone to be happy to a fault.
Microsoft Todo does a nice "ding" when an item is checked and that item disappears. I find that very satisfying.
Yes if somehow Musk couldn't find anyone to accept his money I guess most of those people would go back to making widgets and SpaceX would cease to be.

That's not the reality of the situation though. SpaceX's current staff isn't the last cohort of people who are willing to work for musk, and therefore are hugely responsible for the company and it's output. They're but cogs amongst the machine that Musk has built. Cogs are replaceable. Cogs don't function properly if not properly utilized by the engineer.

Musk is the engineer. He's the only person at SpaceX, or Tesla, who is actually irreplaceable. I know people rant and rave about "people aren't replaceable cogs" but they truly are, and that's good. If this wasn't the case for 99.9% of the world, society wouldn't function that well. I'm a cog, and I know that. It isn't shameful and shouldn't be viewed as such.

People will contradict me on this because it's counterintuitive, but crypto flows are big enough these days that they can move the US stock market. This is quite noticable on days with big crypto-only news.

Meaning that crypto is very corellated with the stock market index, and if big selling happens on crypto, the statistical arbitrage algos will sell the stock market to exploit the correlation.
But the 1T number is mid-crash - I think the pre-crash figure I've seen was around 3T. Adjusted for inflation, crypto is still a bit short of the dot-com crash, but not by a lot, and it doesn't seem like it's over.

The closest I've seen to having a modern take (in both theory and practice) are 'communalists'/'democratic federalists' into Murray Bookchin's ideas. There's also Kevin Carson, an anarchist theorist big on horizontalism and network economics, but I haven't read his work at length yet.

It saves a lot of stress to ask fired-up people what it is they're for (methodologically speaking) and not bothering to argue if they don't have a coherent or actionable answer.
The character flaw isn't worrying about the labels being foisted wrongly upon someone. The character flaw is someone worrying that their personal politics can't clearly be distinguished as not being motivated by hate. Odds are that is a marker of a bad and unjust political opinion.
I am just dead tired of Microsoft getting zero credit for the changes they've made since the antitrust verdict.

they haven't done EVERYTHING that EVERYONE wants, so lots and lots and lots of people still shit on them like they're still mad, and it still gives nerd cred to shit on them for any reason. as if we're perfect in comparison...

if the same people speak poorly of Facebook, Google, or Amazon in the same ways, the reactions observed are very different. Very different.

People pick on Microsoft because they once earned it, yet we let so many worse things slide, today, because those things are done by companies which are not Microsoft.

flippin' pick an opinion, and stick to it.
You paid over 2x, too.
C++ doesn't have a formal specification either. What C++ has is a document that says in informal prose how the compiler is supposed to behave. Rust in fact has such a document too: the reference manual [1]. It even uses spec language like EBNF to describe grammar productions.

You can quibble about whether Rust's reference manual is more or less detailed and useful than that of C++. I'd readily acknowledge that the C++ specification has more detail than the Rust reference, right now. But this is a difference of degree, not of kind.

Honestly, I've long been in favor of just renaming the Rust "reference manual" to the Rust "specification" and calling it a day, so we can stop arguing about whether Rust has a spec and do the more useful work of improving the document that we have. Other languages like Go call their equivalent document the "spec", even though there's no real difference in detail between the Go "spec" and the Rust "reference manual", and nobody criticizes Go for that naming decision.

As you can see in your own summary, it doesn't require talking with example.com's provider's awkward API, which was my point. Instead you can subvert that and use a DNS you can easily update or even run DNS temporarily from your ACME client, so implementing many APIs (what lexicon does) is not required.
> ‘machine elves’ who speak in an elvish tongue and are trying to communicate

The difficulty on our side is not only trying to understand possible messages from intelligences a million years ahead of us - but to even recognize that there are messages at all. We're more likely to disregard the experience as dreams, hallucinations, psychosis - since the information these visions contain is so beyond the context of our everyday lives.

> aliens don’t bring meat suits whilst doing interstellar travelling

I lean toward what the sibling commenter dismissed as "secret aliens living in a parallel reality" but literally, beings inhabiting other dimensions, their minds travelling through space and time.

Let’s say the average grocery store has 6 people working every hour for 16 hours a day and 355 days a year. Their labor cost would be $1.465 million.

I wouldn't say it works well for games. The "no-code" solutions like blueprints or shader graph are more of a visual configuration for technical artists to use, but built on pretty well defined code-heavy systems. You might use a visual system to configure something like a AI Behavior Tree, but you wouldn't be able to build a whole new type of system with it.

That said, they are very good and powerful, and open up a lot of flexibility to tech artists.
