This is a really good question. I'll answer but if we could go back in time, I think we would make a different decision. To be very blunt, I think we fucked this one up.

At first, we started with a strict 'hands off' policy because we didn't see how it was a need for her. But then the pandemic hit and due to a variety of factors, it ended up being our best option for her to socialize with other people her age.

Private servers are great, but we discovered an interesting vulnerability that created a need to both educate and protect her. I was surprised by how many 'age appropriate' (whatever that means) Youtube videos provide detailed steps on how to connect to private servers.

That introduced a need to trust her completely. We have to trust her to never sneak away and never get access to a device without supervision. If we misplace our trust, she could end up a victim. We hope she doesn't and in reality, she likely won't, but I can only say 'likely'.

So now we're backed into a corner. Technical guard rails are one option but she's been obsessed with figuring out how things work since she was very young. Again, if there's a small possibility of danger, that's too much for us. So we're left with the least bad option - educate, trust as appropriate and verify.

Or alternately, some nice person on HN could build a parent time machine so we could go back in time and make an entirely different decision. The more time goes by, the more I agree with you. But again, we really fucked that one up and now that the cat is out of the bag, there's a risk that major changes will make sneaking around even more appealing. And again, that's just too much danger.

TLDR - I am dumb, you are smart.
Maybe it's more of a problem than pro-nuke people think.

The sanctions will also be blocking the legal crypto exchanges from dealing with them as well. So that isn't going to work either. You might respond that you'll just use an illegal crypto exchange, but from that perspective it's not the crypto helping you. It's the illegal exchange, which doesn't actually need crypto to function.

Edit: Also, there's a bit more to unpack here. The transfers from Russia are only a problem with RUB. If you can transfer another currency to them into an offshore bank account then it's not a problem. And I hope you don't transact in RUB anyway, that likely means selling the business back to Putin's war regime, unless you physically go over there and use the proceeds to help the anti-war movement.
Danger: that is decidedly not what HN is, at all.
Fear is what motivated Jewish members of my family to flee Europe as Hitlers rose to power. Fear is an important driver for survival.
As a life-long insomniac, I used to get very angry with the CBT-I treatment. It was only recently when Dr Matthew Walker mentioned in a podcast "it's the best treatment we have today" that I decided to take that for what it is.

CBT-I is not a cure for insomnia, it's sleep hygiene by a better name. There is no reason to pay a huge monthly fee for a CBT-I app. Sorry OP. This is something anybody can do themselves with a bit of research. If you are going to a "sleep therapist" it is also probably 70% of what you will hear, the other 30% likely will be how maybe you have apnea. I'm so saddened that this is the state of sleep science (which is why I started my start-up - more below).

I'm not saying sleep hygiene isn't good, it is important, just like brushing your teeth and not eating too much sugar. But those are the basics for a healthy lifestyle, not some genius treatment for an illness.

Sleep restriction therapy is a different beast all together. It is actively harmful to restrict your sleep. The damage is not worth the benefit. And yes, we are very aware that lack of sleep is damaging, so why do we recommend people do this?

I did find it interesting that you bought an EEG device, and curious if you learned anything from it, aside from how difficult it can be to sleep with a "research grade EEG device".

I'm in the neurotech/sleeptech space as the co-founder of https://soundmind.co - we are NOT in the insomnia space, we focus on improving the neurological function of your brain during sleep.
My only complaint ever about Notepad++ is that the search/replace dialog is so big. But, OTOH, the one in Sublime Text is too small. Microsoft Word is just right, and resizable if you need the option. But I hate Word.

Darn, it is so hard to make me happy.
I fact-checked this and it turns out I was completely wrong, and I'm sorry. Even with the current grid mix, a typical all-electric car will on average be greener than a gasoline car after about 15,000 miles. Even if you're in a place where 100% of your electricity comes from coal, the electric would still beat out the gas car after 89,000 miles.

So, it is like you said: It is already cleaner, and will get even cleaner as the grid improves.

Thank you for the heads-up! I stand corrected :)

Federated social networking based on W3C ActivityPub or a successor protocol will eclipse Twitter on a slow, but finite timeframe.

Twitter could even build a business model around that - They can manage hosting and the sales of Twitter services as a SaaS on your own domain name like Office 365, Google Workspace.

Or someone could snatch this market right now with their own first-mover advantage (I can see Mastodon gGmbH positioned to do so). I'd do it myself if I had the time and energy.
>Isn’t the freedom to walk down the street or go to school without fear of a deranged shooter or accidental firearm discharge an important freedom too?

No. You have no right to not be in fear.

And even using your argument, I feel less in fear walking down the street with "protection" than not, which by your argument strengthens my right to carry.

You're being downvoted. Another sad day on HN when free speech is downvoted.
Nope. I can understand how you might prefer that I had been writing about workarounds, but I was not writing about workarounds. I was writing about the incorrect and alienating rhetoric coming from the Linux community.

Also, literally my first sentence:

> your hardware choices
No, they weren't. By 2006 home sales were already down 10%, Homeowner ship was down in 2006 vs 2005, manufactured homes were down 11%, even apartment dweellings were down 2.4% from 2005 and new construction on apartments was down 5.9%.

2006 was nothing but four quarters of constant decline in housing.

We haven't seen quarter after quarter decline yet and leading up to 2008 it was ~3 years of quarter after quarter declines.

What we have seen is huge market corrections and we're now seeing healthy price corrections in real estate and a slowdown in home buying/selling. Job market still showed growth, retirement savings are down over peak, but still largely doing well over trend.

I'd be fine with consumer confidence shrinking to force pricing back down. I see gas is < $4.00 a gallon here in Austin now (yay).

Corrections are great...

The only way we'll see another 2008 is if it turns out the market was fake to begin with. The only fake market i've seen is crypto. If people back out of that, that won't hurt USD much (it could help) and if people re-invest in crypto well then they re-invest in USD for everything necessary to support crypto (markets, electricity, GPUs/ASICs so on and so forth)
Yeah, and that sucks. Those idiots on Reddit should stop.

That’s my point - it’s not effective there or here, for Covid or Monkeypox.

I doubt the people shaming people with illness even think doing so will help change behavior. They probably just enjoy dunking on people they think are beneath them.

The "misunderstanding" that the parent poster was referring to was the meaning of "exceptionalism."

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the misunderstanding that you seem to be referring to is whether or not the nation actually is the thing that people misunderstood exceptionalism to mean, which is "great," "superior," etc. That's more of an opinion, so I wouldn't say "misunderstanding" is the right word for it.
Doesn't really add up, because he's going to be forced to go through with the deal anyway. I haven't heard a single lawyer with relevant expertise suggest otherwise.

Since that's where we're going to end up, it would be much simpler for him to just cleanly buy Twitter, for whatever purpose he intends.

One of my issues is grabbing the phone to kill time while waiting even for a small amount of time.

Ordered a bagel? Let me grab my phone for the 2 minutes it takes for them to call my number.

In an uber ride? Turn on the phone...

Waiting for a deploy? Let me scroll through reddit a bit.

I love the kindle, but reading a page at a time here and there isn't appealing to me, personally.

Instead, I've been trying to make a conscious effort to just be aware of my present physical space instead of grabbing for my phone during those little waits. I'm old enough to have grown up without a phone until after I graduated. I /know/ that I'll be perfectly fine without picking up my phone... but this habit of constant digital information ingestion is hard to break.
You said "in this context lying is fraud", and that's not the case, which is why lawyer talk for "fraud" is "fraud", not "lying".

I am willing to bet that if self-driving cars come along, they will see strong sales/rental/deployment, however they end up working in Europe, or Japan, or wherever else you have in mind as some place that has "already solved this problem."
Everything about this deal strikes me as Elon trying to buy his way out of the fact he illegally acquired stock in a bid for a board seat. At the time, I'm sure he thought it was a clever way out of an immediate problem, and he certainly moved the conversation away from his stock buying shenanigans. I just don't know how he didn't see how the outcome would be...owning Twitter.

So many people have gotten very close to buying Twitter...even Disney. The surface appeal is high but once you think about it for more than ten minutes it's clearly a problematic platform with few solutions that don't drastically lower its value. If Elon ends up not closing this deal with Twitter, I suspect that Twitter will go the way of Tumblr...eventually getting bought by a second tier tech company before being mismanaged into irrelevance.

It's almost as if always chasing the low bid has consequences!
I think it’s far more likely he’d be on the hook for damages. It would be unusual for a judge to force a sale to a now unwilling buyer. Everyone—Twitter, Twitter shareholders, Musk—would be worse off with that result.
Well put.

Also:

- I'd hate it if Elon bought Twitter

Same person:

- What? This is bullshit! Elon should be forced to buy Twitter!
I agree with this. The UI is moving more and more towards not showing URLs, emails, addresses, and other things that might clue a non-savvy user into being duped. But who do we complain to? They (FAANG, etc) are doing this to increase usage and profits, right?
> I think you misunderstood the tone of my original comment, which was that NFTs introduce an extremely marginal benefit for the ticketing use case while bringing in all the negative aspects of something based on a permissionless blockchain AND still requiring a trust relationship with the issuer to be established out of band.

Fair point, I didn't see that.

I would however make the argument that in reality NFTs wouldn't introduce any benefit.

Digital tickets and a centralized software that takes care of reselling completely solves the issue of fake tickets (at least on the technical side). None of this requires NFTs.

I was 12 when I first installed linux and barely knew what I was doing. I easily would have given up if I couldn't figure out that my machine had a secret hidden bios setting. I learned a ton from that experience, that easily could have been missed if I'd happened to own one of these anti-competitive machines.

Installing a user-friendly linux distro has gotten quite simple too, requiring only a couple simple steps using some clean tools. Modifying hidden BIOS settings is a significantly more complicated leap than the plug-and-play imaging tools available today.
> so we build giant parking lots at our metro train stations

No. The comment you're replying to specifically said "walk", while the comment at top of thread specifically mentioned that building trains "requires a move towards high-density housing". High density housing, trains, and walking is a solved transportation solution for cities with much higher/denser populations than we have in North America.

Getting there from here is not such a solved solution, but the general process many places are working on goes:

build train (with park and ride at outskirts for current ridership) --> build high density mixed use near stations (which now doesn't need parking for each unit) --> rinse and repeat until city is more sustainable without blowing $$$,$$$,$$$ on road capital projects every year to deal with ever-increasing traffic

What's inefficient about it? Computers are millions of times faster than they were, you're not worried about CPU cycles are you?

Is there a business need that the software can't meet? Or, is it just the general hassle of dealing with legacy code?
Well, our root of authentication trust is Google, so if "no Google involved" is a criteria for you, we're not a good place to host stuff for you.
As far as addictions go, I find HN actually one that delivers actual knowledge. Literally every day I read something I didn't know before. Unlike on Facebook that just tries to serve me with more of the stuff I have already seen.

I like wasting time on HN because it's time not actually wasted :)

And don't get me started on Twitter... Sure there are some gems on twitter but I have to wade through 1000s of tweets of pure nonsense to see them. No thanks. If it's something really great someone will post a link on HN anyway :)

Great! Maybe home prices will become affordable for folks looking to enter the market. Although the U.S. needs to get its act together and enable the development of much more housing and automation in the market to make homes actually affordable to folks. I don't want to get too philosophical but I think a big part of the American dream was being able to own a home for you and your family and that is out of reach for so many people right now, in no small part due to NIMBY regulations but also overregulation of processes that prevent automation and more in the industry (among many other factors).
All of them are incredibly small though. Most conservatives still use regular social media.
That's fine, but then you can't celebrate that he may be forced into buying it which a ton of comments here are doing.

Twitter is responding with legal action:

We are con­fi­dent we will pre­vail in the Del­aware Court of Chancery,” Mr. Tay­lor tweeted. Parag Agrawal, Twit­ter’s chief ex­ec­u­tive, retweeted the mes­sage.“

“ Practically every country has a constitution stating that its power derives from the people, and a number of countries do make good on that promise.”

Interesting claim - how would you square that with, say, the fact that majorities of “the people” in the UK support the death penalty for child murderers, and yet both main political parties have conspired to ban the death penalty? Does “power deriving” from the people differ somehow from actually implementing policies that they want?

Matt Levine has again good thread that explains what is what. Must read.

I can tell you Twitter took the not question seriously. I have only used twitter once when my company had a notice board you needed to tweet to, over 7 years ago.

After musk started talking about bots, I started getting a ungodly amount of twitter emails asking me to sign in and see watt my friends are doing ect. Over 10 a day for the last month or so.

My email is literally filled with twitter emails trying to activate my inactive account to temporary inflate their numbers.

Musk didn't have buyers remorse, we entered a huge market crash in the middle of the deal, so twitter was not worth nearly as much. Likely worth around $15 USD per share.

Everyone knows twitter is majority bots, gpt influence accounts. Musk was using that angle because they would never admit to it publicly as it would likely have stock or legal issues.

He likely still wants to but twitter at the current market value, not yesterdays current value.
Tesla needs to focus. Two major assembly plants are down for line rework because the line runs too slowly. The battery factories are behind schedule. Solar roof installations are way under goal, despite high energy prices. "Self driving" is a flop. And whatever happened to the Cybertruck?

Tesla is a car company. They need to focus on making cars. They're past the startup stage. To grow into that bloated market cap, they need to make a lot more cars. Production. That dull and boring stuff Detroit and Toyota do well.
I really hope they do so the next clown puts some thought in it.
Any non-paywalled version? Sounds like an interesting article
