He's saying SpaceX is just another company. They demand full loyalty (fealty?) from their employees, effectively creating a religion. They shouldn't be surprised when their employees actually expect the company to be different. Now the whole world can see SpaceX is just like Every. Single. Other. Company.

So much for "changing the world." You're not changing the corporate world, that's for sure!
this isn't the end of free speech, #MeToo, or women's rights
Edit: Isn't getting kicked off twitter simply a consequence of saying something that's against twitter's TOS? What definition of free speech is Musk using?

Being banned from Twitter is a consequence of your speech, but it's also restricting your freedom to speak. I imagine Musk feels that not restricting people's freedom of speech is more important than the consequence of banning them.

That doesn't mean he thinks there should be no consequences for speaking. Just that the consequences shouldn't limit your freedom to speak.

In this case, people fired from SpaceX are still free to speak out about Musk's brand and its influence on SpaceX. Their speech has not been restricted.
A significant portion of Amazon profits comes from AWS. If you remove AWS from the equation, AWS does make money, but not the truckloads you are pointing. And AWS profits are in now way linked to amazon warehouse workers salaries.

If Amazon increases wages - and thus prices - what do you think will happen:

1. People will still buy amazon because they have a higher wage so they ca afford it

2. People will buy more stuff from another store that provides cheaper prices while exploiting Chinese workers instead of American ones.

Of course it's 2.

The problem I have with "take probiotics" is that there are hundreds or even thousands of species of bacteria that could be classified as "probiotics". Which ones of these have positive influence on mood or physical health? How can a person know what to expect from a bottle of stuff at Whole Foods or where-ever?
This might be true if Tesla was trading below normal valuations, but it isn't even close.

The thing that completely invalidates what you’re saying here is that very little of the actual talking is done by Lex. I’m not an unqualified fan but he does at least create the space for knowledgeable guests to talk at length about their subjects - or put another way he generally gets out of the way.
> Sometimes, you have to accept that people will hold beliefs about stuff without knowing the implementation details, and that's OK.

That depends on what those beliefs are. Not all unfounded beliefs are false, and not all false beliefs are harmful. But some are. False beliefs about vaccines, climate change, and the 2020 U.S. presidential election (to cite but a few noteworthy examples) are particularly harmful. IMHO it is unwise to respond by throwing up your hands and saying, "What are you gonna do? Sometimes you just have to accept things like this."

Wasn’t it Volkswagen that cheated on the emissions?

People love to talk about their morals and not giving money to support things they see as evil but when push comes to shove and it’s time to make a purchase, 99% just throw that out the window. I mean people are still dancing to Michael Jackson’s music at their weddings.
I think your use of the word "mass" is causing a lot of confusion, but I'm not sure who's "fault" it is. According to your edit on your original post, you say you're using it to mean "less selective" immigration, which, to me, is a way different sentence - but it's completely possible this is a domain-specific use of the word "mass" that I am just not familiar with.
Companies that own other runtimes used for running Wasm server-side:

* Intel (WAMR) - Market cap: $105B
* Fastly (Wasmtime) - Market cap: $1.2B
* Google (V8) - Market cap: $1.5T
* Tetrate Labs (Wazero) - Market cap: ~$200M (guesstimate)
the "large corporations" thing is bullshit too. that list that goes around of "these 100 companies are responsible for 99% of emissions" or whatever the percentage is, all the companies on that list are oil companies. but they aren't the ones burning the oil, they're the ones selling it.

individuals can't absolve themselves of responsibility by blaming the corporations that they buy their petroleum products from.
Plenty of firms and trading shops will survive. Not everyone was a total YOLO degen with billions of dollars.
No.

Forcing a trucker to drive 20 hours straight is working conditions. Refusing to install proper lighting in a warehouse is working conditions.

Having a policy saying "don't be an asshole", and then enforcing it in a way that is perceived as unfair, is not working conditions.

If the letter had directly alleged that Musk or other leadership was abusive towards the employees, they would have a case. But just saying "we thing Musk is an asshole, and we have a no-asshole policy" is not protected speech.
I'm speaking from anecdotal evidence here but I have seen a lot of research that indicate the digestive tract is basically the primary storage of serotonin. And whenever I get chronically depressed I also get chronically constipated. I don't necessarily think probiotics are a magical cure but I think anything that aids with digestion and moving things through the digestive tract can help.

I am amused that people like you assume that they put no thought into the question, because you don't like their answer.

Many Usenet forums back then which had over 100,000 regular readers and long-running discussions. For example sci.math. That worked fine with a culture of saying things accurately and simply, without undue handholding. And an expectation that the other side would put in their own elbow grease.

While effective in that culture, this is exactly the kind of behavior that outsiders call "salty gatekeeping". Never mind that the people who are being called that are often the same people who are answering question after question, and being genuinely helpful.

I do not know of any comparable unmoderated forum today which works close to that well. Or where someone with a genuine question can so reliably get high quality answers from a genuine expert.

If it was blinking that sounds like the whole 10NES[1] copy protection chip stuff. Likely the switch was choosing between which 10NES chip was hooked up to the CPU for validating the cartridges.

How does the UK passing a law saying you don't need cookie popups make those popups go away. Maybe big companies will target UK cetizens to not get popups, but most sites will still give you popups, because giving everyone popups to comply with EU laws is a lot easier than figuring out if you live in the EU or not. For example, the US doesn't have requirements for cookie consent, but you still see a ton of these popups if you live in the US.
We're seeing manufacturers tell their suppliers of JIT to hang on to components because they don't need them right now. So I don't think that's accurate everywhere.
For standalone houses, seems like a bank of traditional lead-acid batteries like datacenters use is a better option. Doesn't require exotic materials, EOL handling is well understood at this point, etc.

If I'm doing the math right, every ten car batteries in the bank should get you about 8 kWh. The average home in the US uses about 11,000 kWh/year[1], or about 30 kWh/day, so a bank of 20-60 batteries seems like a good starting point, depending on how much reserve capacity one is comfortable with, how variable solar generation is, etc. That's an up-front cost of about $4,000-$12,000 every 5-7 years, but at least at the low end that should actually be cheaper than paying for electricity from the grid over the same period. A 20-battery bank should fit in about the same footprint as a refrigerator.

That's also significantly cheaper than a PowerWall of the same capacity[2], which was $7,500/14 kWh ($535/kWh versus about $250-$275/kWh for lead-acid) before Tesla stopped selling them without a solar panel bundle.

For apartments and other colocated housing, it might still make sense as long as there was some sort of central vault for the battery bank.

For a maximal hypercapitalist corporation? Well, yeah.

For as long as they are (seen as) trivially replaceable, an employee that sees a doctor, or has health concerns, or uses benefits of any kind, or really has any slip in their productivity even to the slightest degree is a poorer worker than one that doesn't.

This stops working if you run out of people to hire, or if the cost of hiring increases past a certain threshold.

It is the most rational way for the dominant corporation in the current economic system to act, if they can get away with it.
lol - no he is not. Howard Hughes was mentally ill, didnt leave his house or shower (was a germaphobe), was super secretive (didnt meet people in person for years), never built anything important (although had a shitload of failures, like the wooden airplane) and inherited a lot of his initial money and revenue streams.

Musk is none of those things.
> There’s a common idea that surrounds autistic people, especially those with above-average intellectual ability. This idea states that we have no empathy, that we’re robots who will never understand relationships, that we’re incapable of acting human. TV Tropes calls it Disability as an Excuse for Jerkassery, and notes that Asperger’s is a favorite excuse. The Autistic Jerk has become such an ingrained idea, many people expect and assume that we are going to be assholes. But I’m here to tell you: the autistic jerk is just a jerk who happens to be autistic.

I never realized until the comments today that the reason you can't be on even state-legal prescribed drugs is because you become more open to blackmail and exploitation or prosecution risk.

But wouldn't debt of any kind, or regular motivations such as greed, family (maybe a relative got into drugs/trouble) be the same or even worse?

It just seems like a left-over relic from the 'reefer madness' days.

A big part of my early distrust for police stems from the lies they told me in D.A.R.E. 'class'. Marijuana will turn you into a drug-fueled criminal, it eats your brain cells like this spray paint on a Styrofoam cup, and they never come back, this is your brain (egg), this is your brain on 'drugs' (but it's an anti-weed commercial) and the egg starts frying in a pan. They spent years trying to convince the very young and very old that weed==narcotics.

As I've gotten older I've realized almost everyone has some issue- addiction, drug use, over-indulgence of whatever, just seems some are hell bent on hiding it and pretending they don't.
> But climate change is even easier - make them liable for damages, allow all farners who lost their land to risibf sea level un bangladesh to claim compensation. Make companies liable every time an ekderly man dies of heat stroke or crops fail due to shortage of rain.

What damages? They extracted the oil and sold it to you, but you were the one who burnt it to drive climate change.

Is GM and Anheuser-Busch InBev liable for damages if you got drunk on Bud Light, crashed your Chevy, and killed someone?
These are defenses to a crime and they are explicitly provided for in the law. You don’t just get to assert a random defense just because you want to, which is what your approach is. There is no “good faith” or “did the right thing defense” to the law here, as you noted. Defenses are not required for all criminal laws and, in general, do not exist for crimes.

Both the left and the ring wing voters despise work visa programs. There are a few in the US, only H1B's get the hate since it is the most used of all work visa programs, and highly publicized as well.
The purpose of Twitter is speech. People like Musk argue it is analogous to a public space. Twitter users don't work for Twitter and are not subordinates of Twitter. Do you also imagine that Musk believes service people ought to be allowed to mock their superior officers to their faces without repercussions?

Of course, and still we speak in shorthand all the time because regurgitating the complete nuance in every single Internet comment is untenable. If "left-wing folks generally support mass immigration" is inaccurate or incomplete, let's talk about that--what nuance am I overlooking?

It's perfectly fine to use Git to track things other than sourcecode. In fact, right on the manpage, Git calls itself "the stupid content tracker".

I've been using Git with git-annex to track archival files with their associated metadata.
We keep our data separate from our sourcecode, and segment our data into individual Git repositories for each collection.
Git gives us many features that we would have had to build into our app in other ways (data integrity, fixity, etc), though this came with costs.

To my eye it probably would have been better for Canva to use multiple separate repositories instead of a monorepo, but I'm not them and their use-case is not mine.

HN comments are not indicators of anything close to representing "people" in general.
$200,000 is the cost of the atoms in the fuel. Most of the rest of the $15 million is the cost to get those atoms to the right temperature and pressure when they are stored at a different temperature and pressure, transport those atoms, and put them in the shell. Not to mention the cost of cleaning and coating the fuel tanks to make sure that they are inert and won't react to the fuel (this has to be done on non-reusable rockets too).

This is the typical sleight-of-hand that comes at Musk companies. The atoms in the fuel are cheap, but the process of turning those atoms into usable fuel is very expensive. This is the case for almost all rockets.

The Soyuz is partly cheap to launch because it doesn't need a lot of special fuel handling.
It's not the money supply. It's a supply side problem due to Corona shutdowns. All the Fed is about to do is induce a bunch of unemployment.

> We’d be better off suing ourselves.

That's what accountability in politics is all about.

> It’s we consumers who ultimately burn the oil for our homes, hospitals, schools, cars, and general electrical needs.

This implies a willingness to ignore the entire complex context why humanity as a whole has ended up in this spot in the first place.

Consider this thought experiment. Try cutting out as many aspects as you can out of your life that depends on oil or it's derivatives. This includes the use of goods based on fossil-fuel based polymers, plastics or the combustion of oil for the generation of heat, light and movement.

The end result of that exercise would be you living a very different lifestyle and society being organized in a very different way. The vast majority would dismiss the idea as "reverting back to Medieval times" while a small niche is totally into homesteading.

Of course, there's a middle ground here when it comes to reducing the dependence on fossil fuels. But to be frank, it's a so-called Wicked Problem that comes with far more challenges then first meets the eye. In fact, the more you - or society - wants to try and reduce our dependence on fossil fuels, the more deeply altering changes to your lifestyle you - or society - is going to have to accept. Beyond electrical cars, this implies changes to public infrastructure, how public space is being used, renewed thinking regarding the use of natural resources, agriculture, supply chains, construction of housing, packaging of goods, etc. etc. etc.

They are just running out of clique members to hire. I've had interviews at Amazon where the setup was hostile from get go, and it was evident the hiring team was looking to recruit their friends which they eventually probably did. All the other interviews are just padding/process tick marks for that one profile.
It seems that what is happening here is that “woke” people (ultra left) working at spaceX and Tesla are finally realizing that Elon Musk is actually not part of the “woke” (ultra-left) movement but more like good old Republican.

So they are angry and they want to explain that to others. On the other hand, some people know that there is no “woke” white rich guy.
I can empathize, but my point was in regards to the accusation of being a “conservative” by just coming down in the other direction on the lesser-of-two evils calculus. Sane Americans are struggling with the fact that there are good arguments to be made that both political parties in the US presently present meaningful existential risk. There are several methods one could argue in how to tie break, purely in the interest in minimizing the risk of collapse, tyrannical overtake, or the development of a police state. From example, you may vote against the ruling class broadly, which is left-aligned, if you feel that the broader ruling class has power superiority over the narrow set of elected leaders at a given time. Under that framework, no tyrant can successfully seize power unless they are aligned with the ruling class.

I listen to a lot of his interviews, actually. A lot more of the talking is done by him than you're implying, and the questions he asks occasionally derail really interesting tangents a guest is on in favor of really dull, extremely generic questions you could get from anywhere. The Lenat interview, for example, was full of him doing it.

"Insurance" in blackjack is a reasonably popular bet, and gives the house more edge than the regular game. Some people hedge their cryptocurrency portfolios with put options, which is a form of insurance.

You can package almost any financial instrument and sell it to someone.

Perhaps you mean the state shouldn't subsidise gamblers with free insurance - I think most people would agree with that.
I find it psychologically compelling, that for the last two decades, I have read shouts of "eco fascists" here in California and elsewhere, by people "warning us" that this will happen. Yet what has in fact happened, is that tracking of individuals location via GPS in autos and cell phone has become common, that facial recognition profiles have become common, and extensive, detailed records of individual finances have become common. All of those things are legal, and who runs them? who has access to them? who builds the systems to maintain them? hint- not hippies with shotguns

The psychology of declaring the "enemy is here" and at the same time enacting exactly the kinds of intrusive surveillance that would be "enemy" ... is .. morbidly compelling to see it unfold.

Some people saw "lockdowns" in prison and decided to use the same word for actions at public school when a safety threat occurs. School lockdowns preceded covid-19 lockdowns, which have changed political history. Now in the arid Western USA, Australia and a few other places, climate related "lockdown" or enforced evacuation, are part of public policy. How is a "lockdown" enforced? with GPS, with trivial financial records checked, and identity linked to facial recognition at the gas station or convenience store. This is not "eco-fascists" doing any of this.. its a literal reversal of logic to claim "eco facists" are the threat here; moronic, paranoid, accusatory politics. This forum is a place where thinking, informed people can see and discuss this sort of development, with the tech link as a basis.
Say that Mike Pence was killed on Jan. 6th before he could certify the election. Now you have an election with no result which leads to the first succession crisis since the post-civil war era with Hayes. Trump appoints a new Vice President which says that he won and refuses to certify the election. When the senate almost certainly gets bogged down trying to elect a new president we are stuck. Now what? Does Trump remain president? It wasn't even a close election, so they can't manipulate the votes any further in his favor.

At that point we have a ticking time bomb. At the end of his term is Trump still the president? Or are we a country without a president? When that happens, if Trump stays in the White House and acts like a president, what then? Would the republican filled Supreme Court back his play? Would the military follow him? Who would oppose him? Would the secret service still protect him? What happens if some states recognize him as president, but others do not?
> the digestive tract is basically the primary storage of serotonin.

What does this even mean? Monoamines aren't fat or glycogen stored in the body. The digestive tract has serotonin receptors, like the brain, but they differ in purpose entirely. Monamines are just messenger chemicals. Their context determines the actual message. I get it... it makes sense, humans are basically worms and worms are basically digestive tracts, that's our main thing, but taking this fact and making predictive science out of it is not trivial at all and anecdotal evidence means absolutely nothing so please never ever ever ever mention it in public forums.
