This is true, you can totally do that.

I like my Quassel bouncer because it gives me a multi-network synced experience between multiple computers and mobiles. I don't really like the way irssi does multi-server support.

However I do really miss a text client for quassel. There is an irssi plugin for it, but unfortunately it's unmaintained, and it was never that great.
Though it's weird to me that it's fine to sell stock just because you want to, but pretending you didn't want to could qualify as securities fraud.

And that seems to be what the concern boils down to? The issue of whether he defrauded twitter is a separate thing. (Though I'm inclined to say no, because twitter came at this in a very skeptical and careful way, and normal fraud requires fooling someone into material loss.)
The agreed-upon penalty is when both sides mutually back out of the deal. But right now Twitter's board thinks it can get a lot more out of Musk than just $1B, and my understanding is that the board is likely correct.
Twitter’s Chairman disagrees:

So embarrassing if he ends up being forced to own it and everyone knows he tried to back out.
Always a red flag if "potential benefits" cover a broad spectrum of unrelated symptoms: depression, cancer prevention, cognitive ability, heart health, diabetes, digestive health, even wound healing. A dodgy article at best.
I've never seen anyone argue against this that wasn't essentially, "oh well, deal with it I guess." The police can't make it in time, and have no duty to protect you. Any other weapon that doesn't provide distance and lethal force is a liability. So what is the expectation for innocent victims, especially the smaller or weaker ones? Just get beaten/killed? I've never seen a real answer to this.
Remember when we all banded together to prevent Verizon from introducing competition into our market because it would “take Canadian jobs” and “give our hard earned dollars to the states”?

That happened because of a hostile attack ad campaign by the big 3.
Musk hired good lawyers to make best case that can be made when there is no case, but Musk is going to lose this.

The cost of playing chicken against Twitter board is relatively cheap at the beginning. If they don't flinch he must suck it up. I doubt he can afford to drag this for years because he will just drag Twitter valuation down and is still going to have it.

Twitter board can't just give up this deal that is now super good for shareholders. It's their fiduciary duty at this point. They get sued if they don't see this trough.
> "I love standing up when I'm in a movie theater -- the view is so much better."

A better analogy is sitting at a concert and complaining that the people are standing in front of you.

SUVs are allowed and expected to be on the road. Standing in a movie theater is not.
Perhaps. Someone who responded to my original tweet opined that Amazon and Google could kill the pirate market easily. It doesn't appear to be something that either wants to do.
Free speech doesn't have a single meaning. Freedom is relative. There is no right to absolute free speech anywhere. For example, you can't yell "fire" in a crowded theater. On social media owned by private corporations, "fire" isn't the only thing you aren't allowed to yell. Subverting democracy, inciting violence, propaganda from foreign governments pretending to be grassroots movement inside the US, etc., are all banned, and yet I would consider Twitter a free platform, albeit with sensible limits. But you're right, that's not absolute freedom.
>Most supplements are excreted by the body as waste

Or just as bad, often supplements that might be therapeutic being completely or almost completely destroyed by the digestive system at the servings they are offered at.

Though all things considered, such as purity, side effects, etc of the things we consume, it is probably for the best that so much is broken down to a point that it is mostly harmless substances or just passes through.

This is like the most cherry-picked example that could've been chosen. Java can't do this because the primitive types are not objects. Mentioning the performance of this is hilarious because 1. it's Daniel Lemire, he should know better and 2. the performance of pretty much every other thing that uses generics is terrible because of gcshapes being passed everywhere and 3. Java literally has a JIT to make generics fast. And bear in mind I don't even like Java generics that much, it's just that Go does even worse. (But still better than when it didn't have it at all, I guess…)

Yeah, I challenge anyone to show me a unconditionally successful Boeing program post 2000 AD. Please. Please show one to me. I am begging you here.

Aboulafia had like fifty graphs on exactly how Boeing is doomed, at least as a unified company; they might survive in pieces after a GE-style split. Big B is spending all their money on precisely the wrong products, and leaving the right products to die on the vine.

This . . this must be what it was like with the late stage evolution of the Soviet design bureaus, but far, far, far worse. With somehow less accountability.

No one inside knows what anyone else is doing, and they're this close to just shipping boxes of parts and marking off a successful delivery of a finished good.

How Boeing has avoided the Mother Lode of all Fines is a mystery to me. Except it's not really a mystery, we all know why, but . . please let me keep my illusions.

I think the incentive you mean is to move out of a stock you think is overvalued (I agree about that). But that works with any purchase, not just Twitter. And with that motive in mind, Twitter would be a really unwise company to buy, when there are so many companies available with actual asset value around. Wouldn't you rather buy something with your over-inflated stock that had some value-preservation attributes? For example, you could buy a mining stock, or a railroad. With Twitter, you're going from the frying pan into the fire.

Pete, thanks for sharing your thoughts.

CBT-I isn’t just “sleep hygiene by a better name”. Sleep hygiene is one component of CBT-I, but there are several other components to it like cognitive restructuring, stimulus control, sleep restriction…etc. Here are a few articles that you might find helpful: https://slumber.one/how-does-cbt-i-work, https://www.sleepfoundation.org/insomnia/treatment/cognitive...

The latest research confirms that CBT-I with sleep restriction therapy is an effective treatment for insomnia: (here’s a meta-analysis you might find helpful https://bmcprimcare.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/1471-... and here’s an article by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine https://sleepeducation.org/sleep-restriction-therapy-insomni...). From our conversations with our clinical advisors and sleep experts, for the right patient, sleep restriction remains an important and effective tool in using behavioral therapy to treat insomnia and has worked for tens of thousands of patients.

While I empathize with you that there could be more research done in the sleep space, behavioral therapy for insomnia and sleep restriction therapy are both highly proven both by sleep researchers and in real-world clinical practice.
The market crash makes it impossible to evaluate. It was a stupid price.
I have been using Ubuntu on a new Dell work laptop for the past 6 weeks and have been pleasantly surprised. Everything basically works. My only complaint is that the machine fails to wake from closed lid sleep at least once per week. So my M1 Pro is by far my uptime champ for laptops (I sometimes go 30-40 days between reboots and it never crashes).

Yeah that was kinda the thing. She could technically close it but then the neighbours would complain.

I would hate that as most of the time I use no heating (or cooling) at all. Also, I wouldn't like to pay for it if I don't even use it.

PS: I live in a nicely mild-climated mediterranean coastal city so I can imagine "not using the heater" is not really a done thing if you live in Finland :)

When you need storage, the residual demand is highly intermittent. Coal would serve this rather poorly (and nuclear even more so). Gas would be more likely. However, at that point there are wild swings in the price of power across each day (and possibly across seasons), making storage quite attractive, and it would be rolled out.

If your objection is that storage would not be rolled out instantaneously, I will ask you to try to be more serious. Nuclear isn't rolled out even that fast.
Oh my goodness yes. I had the "great" idea to use Azure Functions to do a task at work. It's **ing insane how difficult it is to specify an Azure Function all in code with reasonable CI/CD, AD permissions, logging, and dev/prod instances.

I agree. You're a fintech startup deployed on Fly.io right now?

The best way to get detailed information about how our security practice works at Fly.io is to ask us about it directly. We're trying to be up-front about how weak SOC2, for everything else it might be good for, is with respect to security. Unfortunately, in the process of speaking plainly about SOC2, we have apparently sent the message that we think most of security is performative, which is not remotely true; the point is that we don't think SOC2 is an especially meaningful representation of the work.

In all fairness, this applies across the board. I agree with you on financial responsibility residing with the individual.

$100k in a LCOL or $300k in a HCOL is sufficient to have an emergency fund. And in the same way that layoffs in a LCOL will hurt, it hurts in HCOL as well.

I just think that the lifestyle perception that some have of people in HCOL making $300k is very inaccurate. It's not nearly as extravagant as you might think.

If you're going to make counter-prevailing claims, you're going to need some solid references to back up your data, sport.
no, people are mostly terrible at perceiving actual risk vs. the imagined, because evolutionarily, it was much less harmful to get it wrong one way than the other. we humans no longer live in a world of such unpredictable mortality. and even if imprecise, statistics provide relevant information, especially on relative and general magnitude. moreover, serious crimes are the ones most likely to be reported, and therefore having more accurate stats, so survivorship bias isn't a significant factor.

humans consistently overestimate the dangers of the unknown and consistently underestimate the dangers of the known, often by orders of magnitude. we're also wired to be highly overconfident in our estimations of just about anything. your conjectures include prime examples of such mis-estimation, e.g., "much greater risk" and "hundreds of times more dangerous", implying all that avoidance behavior is justified. but death by firearm, for instance, is caused 90+% of the time by the self or familiars, yet we spend all of our time and resources worrying about strangers and extremely rare scenarios (armed robbery, home invasion, mass shootings, terrorism, etc.) rather than the common (suicide, accidental shooting, crimes of passion, etc.). mostly, we worry about the wrong things most of the time.
Explain to me how you can counterfeit Cisco equipment. I truly don't get it. I might be naive but I would have thought they have custom ASICs in their products and then where are you going to get them if not from Cisco?
My father avoided using any kind of computers until he was 68. The we got him an Android tablet. Not the best choice to be honest, but it's too late, he got used to it. He's now 77 and he still cannot distinguish what's part of Android OS, what's part of some application or what's just a web page in browser. All the popups confuse and overwhelm him. Somehow he still manages to take some photos of his plants and watches ton of YouTube. It's both fascinating and terrifying to watch him use his tablet. I do sometimes wonder how he'd adapt to UI like Windows 95/XP Classic.
I think we'll only lose in the way we 'lost' the open source code war. In that, it won't be as shiny at first, but we'll slowly take over the mindshare. Our stuff will always be better because of the freedom it provides.

And then someone like Microsoft or whoever will buy their way in, corrupt a bunch of xbox users into thinking they're the good guys again, and we'll start again.
> The direct cost of produced energy is very low with nuclear - super low.

Only if you ignore the amortization of the cost of financing and building the nuclear power plant. That's fine if the plant is provided by the Nuclear Fairy; not so fine in the real world if we're talking about building new nuclear plants that have to be paid for.
Nothing wrong with using Ruby, but if this is a justification build something that doesn't scale you're incredibly wrong and complacent. Scale creeps and when it creeps it quickly takes over. You should always build infrastructure with scalability in mind from day 1. If you're writing in Ruby it shouldn't matter if you container it, but what surrounds that application is what matters. It also matters if you build a monolith or not.
Embarrassment is the least of his problems at this point.
The 2014 uprising was a popular movement. Come on. Don’t feed me the Kremlin propaganda that all those thousands of Ukrainians getting beaten and arrested by government goons were paid US stooges. It’s possible for the US to support a movement and for it to also be a genuine popular indigenous movement.

She didn’t dictate anything, we was advising and negotiating. That’s what diplomats do. It’s literally their job. Did they have a lot of influence? Sure. Did the Russians have a lot of influence with the previous lot? Absolutely. At the end of the day though the Americans think the Ukrainian people should have a say, and the Russians don’t.

The reason the Russians took over Crimea wasn’t because of anything the US did, it’s because of what the Ukrainian people chose to do.

Would you be fine to pay for a search engine that does that, then? Without a direct payment or ads, that search wouldn’t be possible.

Imagine how many people primarily use Desktop YouTube and have been watching since 2006, but have always had an ad blocker and have never seen a single video ad. There’s probably actual hundreds of millions there that have been ‘lost’ over the decade. It’s basically profiteering with the only difference being that Google doesn’t care because allowing ad-blockers increases their market dominance.
>At its peak, in the late 80s and early 90s, everyone was taught to dread this disease

And have you considered that is precisely why it peaked? HIV has killed 50 million people worldwide. 35 million of them in Africa. It still kills almost a million people a year. In countries without appropriate response, it has infected large segments of the population, and you're out here in 2022 unironically saying "It's a gay man's disease", seriously?

> Sure, he won't mind paying that I believe.

I strongly beg to differ. The purported damage may be in the low tens of billions. It doesn't mean that Twitter will get that much, but they'll certainly sue for that much.

> And he will likely create a new social media and crush twitter.

What makes you believe that that is likely? I don't see any evidence for it whatsoever. Twitter has an incredible moat. Just because Musk is going to start a twitter competitor (which I doubt he'd bother doing since he's already so busy) doesn't mean it will be successful, if it even ever gets off the ground. Most likely it will be a small niche community.

> I was talking about people attacking him just for being rich and accusing him of having an "inflated ego"

Clearly the man has an inflated ego if he thinks he can pull nonsense like this and get away with it. You could make a reasonable argument that he's "earned" that ego, but that's different from whether or not he has one.
