Tesla is certainly a solid business in the sense that they make cars people are happy to buy. I certainly wouldn't expect the value of the business to drop to zero.

But Tesla has a Price/Earnings ratio of 100 while other car companies like Toyota only have a P/E of 10. So Tesla's stock price could drop a long way while still being reasonable.

And if Musk had got a loan against his Tesla stock to buy Twitter, a substantial drop in Tesla's price could have disproportionate results.

Utterly insane. Black is white, up is down. Multi-level, coordinated conspiracies orchestrated by the sitting President of the United States are the embodiment of liberal democracy.

Left intellectuals have gone off the deep end, sure, but the actual left politicians in power are solidly centrist.

Meanwhile Trump.... The Republican party isn't just off the deep end, they're a genuine danger to democracy globally. As the US goes, many other countries follow and as a Brit, and conservative one that grew up in the Thatcher/Reagan heyday at that, I dread the thought of another Trump presidency. I'll never forgive the Republican party for putting us through that the first time. Thank all the gods and angels the Russian invasion of Ukraine happened under Biden, he may be a bumbler but at least he's not an out-and-out traitor to democracy and the national security of his country.

Depending on your state you may not be able to record the phone call. This is why companies will call when they have bad news and want to explain it. They could write an email - but this could easily be forwarded to any of your favorite blogs and becomes a legal document. A recorded phone call without consent / announcement (in CA anyway) is easy pickings for a lawyer and is an actual crime Cal. Penal Code § 632 (actual jail crime: no shoes, trying to get bail money, lol). At a previous company we knew a phone call from apple was very bad. We got a phone call we would be kicked out of the app store with deadlines.

The (controversial) argument is that Twitter has produced a public sphere. It's not legally a public sphere, but a de facto one, which is why people like Musk want to treat it as such.

There are some protections for whistleblowers exposing illegal activity, yea, but these employees were not exposing illegal activity. They were complaining about his antics/politics.
It's not clear that this is hostile behavior. The two incidents could be completely unrelated. I'm inclined to believe that is the case based on the anecdotal evidence of other commenters.

I agree though. Solar on the battlefield doesn't make sense since it is not mobile and cannot be concealed or protected.

I do think the centralized nature of massive diesel generators and their fuel supply lines are a tactical weak point though. I like the idea of flexible distributed power grids for troops but I'm not sure solar fits the bill.

It would be cool to hear some input from generals and see some proof of concepts.

Look at any time series on polling regarding political hatred - the left has been largely ineffectual at enacting crazy policy, but the demonization and willingness to punish people for views that are well within the Overton window of public opinion has increased dramatically in recent years, eg. adopting and defending the views of Barack Obama on gay marriage in 2012 will lead to your swiftly being deplatformed from Twitter, Reddit, etc. This impacts my day to day life in the sense that I am no longer able to express many reasonable, non-hateful views in many parts of the internet being censored and putting my livelihood at risk. If you think that this isn't really an impediment that I should care about, then I don't see how you could lament these SpaceX employees being unable to publicly excoriate their bosses without consequence.

Musk has a security clearance, so he either has a prescription or he's not on illegal drugs.
Everybody knows that he's within his rights to fire them. It just throws cold water on all his grandstanding about being a "free speech absolutist".

EDIT: Everyone telling me that company employees are different from Twitter are missing the point. We know that. But he clearly doesn't care about free speech "absolutely" when he throws a fit that his employees are criticizing him.
Or maybe he’s just a jerk.
I'm picturing Apple employees writing an open letter criticizing Steve Jobs and saying they don't want him to be the face of the company, or Amazon employees saying they don't want Jeff Bezos to be the image of the company, or GE employees saying they don't want Jack Welch to be tarnishing the brand of the company, or...just about any other big corporation. The CEO's job involves, among other things, being the public face of the company. If you don't think the CEO is doing their job well, you leave the company, or hunker down and shut up about it.

There are people who can fire the CEO if they think he's damaging the company's reputation. They called the "board of directors". If you're not on the board of directors, the way you register displeasure with your CEO is to leave the company.
I'm sure every person that signed that letter knew they were putting their jobs on the line.

> An attacker could replace the whole file so they don't have to mess around with trying to modify the encrypted material.

Replacing is one way of modifying. If the passwords storage is authenticated, it can't be replaced.

(An attacker could probably replace the storage with its older version. Unless there's an extra mechanism in place to counter that — this highly depends on the concrete setting.)
This is a weird hill to die on. I've never cared much about the file picker and the individual file preview is "good enough" to ensure you pick the correct file. Now if Nautilus didn't have image previews in "icon view", then that's cause for rioting in the streets.
It has a tangible effect on the short term value of the company. Just like the affair. People all tend to have short term thinking. The price of the stock drops because of behavior, this is real... but it is also opportunity. While you sell, I buy. You lose out.

The underlying performance of the company does not change based off of random tweets. If Tesla is good enough to take over the entire automobile industry even the CEO pulling off his pants walking around in public is a separate issue to actual performance.

And Generator is present in 1.8 (though I can't determine how early in the 1.8 series). Same basic function, slightly different API (and Generator used Continuations under the hood, while Enumerator uses Fibers, which improved performance and, in theory, implementability in alternative Rubies which didn't all support Continuation, which was one motivation for moving Continuation out of the core language in 1.9.)

You're right, both the infrastructure and metadata for cryptographic signatures on Python packages (both wheels and sdists) isn't quite there yet.

At the moment, we're working towards the "e2e" scheme you've described by adding support for Sigstore[1] certificates and signatures, which will allow any number of identities (including email addresses and individual GitHub release workflows) to sign for packages. The integrity/availability of those signing artifacts will in turn be enforced through TUF, like you mentioned.

You can follow some of the related Sigstore-in-Python work here[2], and the ongoing Warehouse (PyPI) TUF work here[3]. We're also working on adding OpenID Connect token consumption[4] to Warehouse itself, meaning that you'll be able to bootstrap from a trusted GitHub workflow to a PyPI release token without needing to share any secrets.

Tether Claims 'Coordinated' Conspiracy Is Trying to Take It Down
The biggest problem with GNOME right now is Gtk3 and gtkfilechooserwidget.c. It is so spaghetti and so many things rely on it that no one at GNOME is willing to work on it for fear of breaking something. And for the same reason they won't accept drive-by patches. It is, effectively, frozen broken, and has been for many years. This applies to any attempt to add thumbnails to the file chooser but there are far worse, actual bugs, beyond the lack of thumbnails.

As of right now if you File->Open in any program using modern Gtk3 and try to paste a file path in you'll get an error instead of pasting your filepath in a text field to open, "The folder contents could not be displayed\nOperation not supported" http://erewhon.superkuh.com/gtkfilechooserwidget-paste-fail....

It's unfixable behavior because the GNOME devs stopped respecting their own gsettings, org.gtk.Settings.FileChooser location-mode, to FORCE the path-bar experience on everyone. Because no one needs to type file paths, apparently. So why bother respecting the settings for path-bar or filename-entry? Their demographic doesn't care. Unfortunately gtk3 is used by far more than GNOME's demographic.

They have fixed this bug in gtk4, for all the good that does.

I've used KDE all this time and never noticed. Try it, it's not heavier than LXDE nowadays, which is saying something!
I think it's just the economy is pretty large, and large things don't turn on a dime. Additionally, they're also sort of steering blind, as no one can predict future markets with perfect accuracy, and must rely on lagging indicators for direction. In other words, they know they need to turn around the ship, but it's slow to turn, and they don't know how much force they need exactly to get it to turn. They know that if they turn too fast, the ship can capsize, and if they turn too much they will overshoot. So slow and steady is the way they decide to go. Unfortunately, they tend to overshoot anyhow, as again, they rely on lagging indicators for direction.
Did you actually read the files? It’s launch configs and an eslint config. So you’re saying an IDE is crap if it can’t discover all of the commands of your project? Your saying it’s crap because in a split go and typescript codebase it’s supposed to know you want eslint triggered on JS code only during save?

Using your logic, any IDE with a settings dialog is crap…

If Apple or Microsoft had something like this "misfeature" in their OS, they could and likely would lose sales.

> But obviously, it is implicit in the question, don't you think? If we insist in defining an individual as belonging to either Australopithecus or Homo, there must have been a time when someone we label as one mated with someone we label as the other.

It’s implied that there must have been mating, but you’re the one deciding to complicate that with moral language like bestiality. If a horse and donkey, lion and tiger, dog and wolf, or two formally distinguished finch species mate, we just acknowledge it as two compatibly close species mating.

You seem to be projecting your own sense of inviolate categories (maybe you imagine one being divinely ensouled and the other not?) instead of sticking in what the evidence speaks to directly. But that’s a different philosophical dilemma to reconcile.

Precisely why the two-party system is such an abomination. It boils down ALL politics to a binary system -- are you red, or are you blue? Both you and the previous commenter have completely valid reasoning for switching parties, based on separate issues. But the only method of communication with our democracy requires that you pick one of two awful choices. Sure, you could vote independent -- with the basket of issues that come with opting out of the two majority parties -- and primaries let you cut some of the least-aligned folks in your party from the ballot.

It's kind of like going to a restaurant and being forced to pick raw vs. burned beef, and there's a ton of different sides that come with each option that are nonconfigurable. And then critics constantly debate "raw vs. burned" in polls, and try to gain insight from that on whether people really prefer corn or salad or biscuits. But in reality there's just too much noise to generate any signal.

We don’t have the data to determine the long term viability of work from home. Maybe we never will - causation is not correlation, and I don’t see any RCTs happening.

They might be, or they could be telling the truth. There’s no way to know for certain as long as it’s a zero-sum game.

My understanding is that stylists have to actually cut your hair several times to understand which parts grow faster than others and cut it in a way such that when it grows out it still looks good. I’ve definitely heard my wife tell new clients their previous stylist is excellent and ask why they are sitting in her chair, while she is flipping the hair around to reverse engineer how it was cut so she can attempt to replicate the cut.

According to my wife, “cheap” cuts don’t grow out well, the original shape isn’t held as it grows so it looks weird. If you aren’t just another body in a chair, iow, she knows how your hair grows, it will be cut so that it grows out and keeps it’s original shape.
