There is no "far left drift" of the mainstream. Outside the gender craze which is real, the "far left drift" is an entirely made up talking point in the conservative war against basic institutions and freedoms.

For example, never in its history was the SCOTUS so conservative compared to the views of the general population. It used to be one of the most progressive actors in society, forcing race and gender equality judgments to a country where working wives and interracial couples were still a faux pass.

I don't think renewables are a lost cause. Solar is currently amongst the cheapest way to generate electricity, and the issue is how to store it, or to distribute it from sunny, or daylight places to less sunny, or night-time places.

One thing I find really annoying and incredibly wasteful currently is the way electronics and appliances are so tightly integrated and proprietary. When a single component fails in your washing machine for example, it often means scraping the entire machine, because the entire electronics are integrated onto a single board, the sensors are all unmarked and wired into a harness, the motors are proprietary, even washing machine drum sizes, fridge shelf, door seal, egg-holder sizes, etc, are all proprietary.

I understand all this is so the manufacturer can either force obsolescence (and a new purchase), charge big bucks to a captive audience for proprietary spare parts, or just to save pennies in manufacture, which, especially in electronics, seems vital, currently. But the long-term cost, to the consumer, to society, and to the environment, far outweighs the pennies saved.

The EU effort to standardize phone chargers is an excellent example of what we should be doing to fight this trend. The day I can 'build' my own washing machine, fridge, cooker, etc from standard parts, the same way I can a PC now (and also repair, upgrade them) is when this is no longer a big problem.
I’m not saying Musk should have fired them, but I’m pretty skeptical that the CEO’s abrasive behavior in public statements unrelated to SpaceX is properly considered an aspect of working conditions. (It seems clear to me that their vague discussion of other issues is a pretext to support their eventual lawsuit, but YMMV.)

It's not quite that easy, to be honest. And here's where I lose my audience...

We have two very pro corporate parties, that are pro military, one who is right and one who is center right, if you look at actual policy and spending. The main difference is on abortion legislation, gay rights, gun legislation (sort of... and that depends on the Democrat), and to an even lesser extent some tax policies, but with political funding how it is, no parties really bite the hand that feed them so 95% of tax policy is talk and "trickle down economic policy" is entrenched, much to the detriment of our country.

Most of the substantial difference is talking points and bluster, it pains me to say. Even gay rights is pretty new to the table... that didn't come about until Hillary Clinton ran against Trump, when she finally changed her position on gay marriage (though I think she was one of the last major hold outs).

The major problem with our American system of politics is the two party stranglehold that has been imposed upon and that those two parties have made nearly impossible to rid ourselves of. It's one of the things (other than war profiteering and insider trading) they vehemently agree on.
Listen to his interview with Mark Zuckerberg. That interview demonstrates why he is really special and nobody else is doing interviews like him:

1. Who else is landing guests like Zuckerberg?

2. Of those people, who has the willingness to ask questions such as "why do you think you are one of the most unpopular CEOs on Earth?" (paraphrasing)

3. Of the interviews that fit (1) and (2), how many are holding conversations free of a personal agenda? Lex's interviews are generally judgement-free. He's more interested in exploring deep questions than presenting one single political view.

So, even though he can come off as boring or monotonic at times, he's rather unique as an interviewer. That is what makes him successful.
Okay cool, now explain why Twitter shouldn't ban people.
In fact the project itself doesn't claim it will only be that. But in the community, this idea is still spread around.

It's hilarious how desperate the dairy industry is to cook science.
If only he'd achieved something practical, like revolutionising reusable rocket technology, dominating the commercial satelite launch industry, or selling 75% of the electric cars in the US last year. He may be an arse, but he's a very successful arse that gets stuff done. Doesn't excuse him being an arse though.
We get calls from Google Ads account managers / associates all the time, and the calls are always about enabling/applying all of Google's automatic campaign suggestions (which increase spend, and hypothetically improve performance, although I highly doubt the latter).

If I had to guess, missing the call and being suspended may be completely unrelated to each other. I don't think Google ad associate would call you to discuss account issues prior to a ban, but I could be wrong.

Do you think SpaceX would have landed rockets if Elon wasn't there?

I feel like the safe bet in 2010 was compete on government contracts and print money. Without Elon, SpaceX is just another Boeing. The best teams won't get to Mars if investors want them to crank the money printer or congress wants a jobs program.

For me the weak point in that post is using the phrase "coming out and supporting Desantis" to refer to Elon Musk responding to the questions of if he'd be voting republican ("tbd"), and who he's "leaning towards" ("DeSantis").

That said I think it's a horrible look and DeSantis's response to the matter is one of the most tasteless and tone-deaf things I've heard from him all week.

They never have any examples to back their claim. But the message is always the same: the left has gone too far. Its clearly more important to get that out then it is to defend it with logic, probably because of the truthiness of the statement.
Musk has publicly claimed that he is a free speech absolutist.
For a broad range of voter preference classes, two-party systems are an expected result of majority voting. It's the best way to get the issues you care most about handled while hopefully not inflicting too much harm in all the other less important points that also get brought in. To fix that you need to change people's relative preferences or adopt an alternative voting scheme.

I don't value democracy. I value freedom and prosperity. I think democracy has become too holy to criticize.

I think the perfect world would consist of small autocratic city-states. There would be a single monarch in each city-state who chooses which laws are implemented. Laws would be on Github, everyone could suggest patches or fork them, and the monarch would just have to choose which set of laws they want to implement. Lots of people would collaborate on the laws in an open-source manner. Citizens could easily check which laws are implemented in each city-state, and choose where they want to live. I think something like this would be better than huge countries with democracy.
The letter makes that fairly clear. It's more challenging to focus on their mission, reducing opportunities for SpaceX, etc.
Well in the case of Celsius they are putting use funds into things that the user might not know about. Such as stETH which provides yield but can't be withdrawn back to eth until months down the road so if stETH starts trading at a discount like it did recently then you can't actually get all the money out for redemptions. I believe they also put funds into Terra which they lost as well. So basically Celsius advertises a certain yield but is a black box after a user deposits funds and they might put the funds in things a normal user would never agree to if they were aware of it.
I see you’re being facetious, but in all honesty, my mega large media conglomerate forced us to attend an equity presentation where we were told precisely: if you’re not actively working to quell this particular initiative that we right now find important, you’re then working against it and 100% part of the problem.

Were they talking about green peace? Climate change? Save the whales? Homelessness? Air pollution? Food preservatives? Obesity? Genocide? Under-representation of Jews in the NBA? No.

No apparently you can not be actively working to better those situations and you’re just fine and definitely not part of the problem. Oh but this one cause? Yeah we declare you’re part of the problem.

Sorry but there are a lot of causes in the world. You simply cannot pick and try to guilt me into actively supporting it in leau of all the other causes I might be personally connected with.

That was quite the insulting seminar.

It sounds like containers enabled you to manage the deployment of multiple processes on a single machine more easily which doesn't contradict the comment you're replying to. Would it not have been possible without containers?

I don't think I'm talking to a white person. I think I'm talking to a conservative. Herman Cain wasn't white.

You continue to misunderstand that argument. My argument is that the culture of black Americans was shaped by the society they live in and what conservatives consistently fail to understand due to their simplistic world view is that it can be reshaped.

As despicable as this was, it was all the DNC, not Clinton or her campaign. The irrational Republican hatred of Hillary Clinton is absolutely ridiculous and without remotely resembling anything rational or honest. It was a campaign of bullying, hatred and sexism, and ignorance won. The character assassination of Hillary Clinton, the election of President Trump, and the January 6 Insurrection, all stand to embarrass our nation on the international stage. The World turns it's lonely eyes to America, for inspiration, as a roll model, and we just screwed the pooch. If America was a conscious entity, it'd wish it could just curl up and die of embarrassment for the Republican shenanigans over the last 6-7 years. If everyone would simply ignore all other distractions and vote in their personal economic interests, we'd never see another Republican elected to any office, and our economy would boom like we've never seen. But the ignorance and hatred is strong, so our economy will struggle while the uber rich continue to desperately consolidate the vast majority of the wealth into the hands of the minuscule few.
The SEC is a federal organization (government), so Musk thumbing his nose at them in the public sphere is not the same as Musk's employees thumbing their nose at him in a private setting using company resources. The former is clearly in the realm of free speech (gov vs citizen in public space), while the latter isn't (citizen vs citizen in private space)

I guess a better way to put it, is he fails at putting on a facade. He is certainly trying, but he's so bad at it, that he fails.

A good analogy is a small child pretending to be an adult.
Would it be possible to avoid all this mess by imaging a different way to use the web?

An access method based on rss (of some sort), in the way "start pages" did it ages ago.

So instead of going to a website to get information, the information comes to my website where I make the rules (as I'm the provider and the sole user). And instead of only receiving plain text information, I can also interact and communicate with other people (the content provider and other consumers), if I choose to.

It took them 15 years to fuck up the Web, we can pull the rug underneath them and perhaps get 20 more.
I haven't been put in that position so I have no data.

That said, if you have serious consequences from this, especially financial, it might be worth contacting an attorney, and certainly your US Senators (assuming you live in the US), and the state and/or US Attorney General. This sounds very much like illegal antitrust behavior.

Even if your case doesn't go far initially, if they are doing this consistently, enough reports will get them into the kind of hot water this hostile behavior deserves.
I appreciate the sentiment but this is a permanent installation for a US base in North Carolina. Also there is nothing tactical about a solar farm.

JP-8 (similar to diesel) is easy to source the world over, has high energy density, is easy to transport and runs nearly everything in the military.

Solar is a nice idea but we’re nowhere near (economical) panel efficiencies necessary to transition field electricity use. Keep in mind, the further you get from the flag pole the less electricity you need. Things are designed that way for obvious reasons.
I'm going to go out on a limb here but I think most most people acting in good faith understand the difference between the public sphere and their place of employment with regard to free speech.

For example: if these employees had been other employees (or Musk himself) people racial slurs I think that's reason to fire them but I don't think it's reason to excise them from the public discourse.

Not really true, collateral is decided at the end of the day and not mid day.

You aren't liquidated immediately the moment your needs more liquidity.

We wait till the end of the day short of absolute emergencies.

I know Amaranth well being in Canada and Calgary specifically at the time:)

And for tradfi a typical hedge fund gets a call and is told to post more collateral and they make real efforts to allow the fund to post collateral. There is almost never an immediate liquidation as this tends to cause more trouble than it fixes, even on the CME or CBOE:)

If it is true it's an anti-trust lawsuit waiting to happen. I highly doubt it is true. Keeping that secret in the bag would be hard in my opinion. We're constantly getting leaks from Google.
The state of the modern internet and social has me rethinking the common wisdom that giving everyone as much access to computing as possible is a good idea.

I think lowering the bar, to a certain point, has been harmful to society. Its a case of tragedy of the commons. It takes no effort to get online and speak your mind so nobody respects the technology. They don't have to, they didn't earn it. It was given to them. If people had to expend even a little bit of effort to access social media I think they would treat it very differently. And I don't think you have to raise that bar by much at all.
This is a fallacy that really irks me. You can't even argue against a statement like that. If Person A acts like a decent human being it's because they're putting on a facade, if Person A acts like a dumpster fire it's because they're not putting on a facade.

Would you describe your inner circle of friends as "quite awful"? I really hope you wouldn't. I certainly don't. And I presume most people don't. So there must be sizable amount of human being that another sizable amount of human beings consider good humans. The CEO of the multi-billion dollar company I work for seems and acts like a normal (meaning decent, as opposed to your definition "quite awful") human being. Never goes on rants like Elon, quite worker-friendly, always there to chat, doesn't fire people on the spot because they can't answer a question that he only started verbalizing halfway though his stream of consciousness rants. And we compete in the same industry as Elon. Isn't trying to influence politics with his position on several dozens of matters that have nothing to do with out company. Also doesn't cultivate a cult following with himself as the head of the cult.

That's all that matters to me, if there no evidence of him being an awful human being, it would be downright unethical for me to assume that he is an awful human being hiding behind a facade.

Also: Before anyone hits me with the "Well your CEO isnt a visionary trying to get us to Mars". Well, yeah. I'd rather be stuck on Earth with him than live under whatever fantasy a sociopath is promising to unfold on Mars.
If the CEO makes it harder to land contracts or recruit talent, that's a direct impact to working conditions. I loved SpaceX and would consider working there if not for Musk, for instance.
Because he markets himself one way but acts another. As you point out, one can be both a champion of democracy and someone who runs a company with a standard hierarchy, but he doesn’t market himself that way. It’s fugazzi.
> This doesn’t make them conservative

I'm not a conservative, but I respect conservative values such as the rule of law. I will grant you that the populist wing of the Republican party in no way reflects conservative values.

> First of all, how do developers so casually ignore this issue?

GNOME has never struck me as a project interested in implementating polish work. Polish work is disproportionately hard (it sometimes upends your understanding of the problem, forcing you to rethink your core structures, which impacts other features. In short, polish work has a tendency to explode).

> Second of all, how do users so casually ignore this issue?

GNOME users are accustom to polish not being the priority of the developers. Those who couldn't take it stopped using GNOME.
Historically in the UK inconvenience-inducing online laws like the Online Safety Bill have fallen either shortly after passage or shortly before passage as the people who pass them realise that they too have to follow their own rules.

This was certainly the case for that nationwide opt-out porn block that they brought in a decade ago, then quickly slipped under the rug when it became clear that they too would have to either learn to use a VPN or call up their service providers expressing their desire to watch porn
