A mistake or doing something foolish is going out in shorts in the winter and then getting a cold.

He spent days/weeks/months on setting up this deal, he became obsessed with it at some point.

(Hopefully) no one is "blaming" it on the bipolar. It's simply something consistent with bipolar. (But it's also consistent with rich people getting obsessed with something and then spending way too much resources on it.)

> reinforces the narrative

That narrative is simply bad and pushed by people who have no idea what they are talking about. Musk's previous instances of risk taking (that "all" turned out to be fine) is also perfectly consistent with bipolar. (Of course if you look at it then it turns out that he took many risks that made very little sense, like when he talked about taking Tesla private, the infamous funding secured tweet.)

And of course just a label like bipolar means (almost) nothing, these spectrum disorders are complex (and there are usually other comorbidities at the same time, just with different severity), we don't know how he is treating/medicating/managing it, or is it even the right diagnosis or not. Or he could have simply lied.

Because they agreed to buy it? And because you stand to make a lot of money. Doesn't seem that complicated to me.

I feel there is huge profitability growth potential there. If you look at the better quarters the revenues can be significant. If you ran that against a lean headcount and were genuinely A-political there's really a money maker there potentially.

That said the risk is huge as the world can move on quickly as we saw with MySpace. And Elon s becoming increasingly a political risk factor himself in a business were peoples view on the leaders/owners really matters.
> but bots _should_ be a subset of "false or spam" accounts

Do you mean "they should report all bots as part of their false or spam accounts number", or that you believe logically bots are in fact a subset of the number twitter reports, and so twitter's number is bogus if 50% of all accounts are bots?

If it's the latter, you're missing the point of their mDAU marketing metric. It already has all the obvious bots and non active accounts removed. They're saying, what % of advertising revenue turns out to be from bots.
The other space companies don't have the cost structure advantages of reusability.

I don't think it's all that rare to need a pickup truck for certain uses, but small pickup trucks have basically disappeared.

Rather than require a CDL for any pickup truck, I'd prefer a policy to require a CDL for vehicles above a certain size/weight, or with front grills that extend more than about 3 feet off the ground, or with the ability to reach freeway speeds from a stop in under about 5 seconds.

Same thing could apply to SUVs.
8ft is 2.4m, it's not that long, it's the lenght of a small car. With current modern resolutions and zooms, you can even read the name of cops on their plaque from that distance.

I don't think it's going to prevent much recording. In fact, the recording are probably be of much more quality: instead of close ups that doesn't show much actions, we will see the a bigger context. Most useful videos are from at least 8 ft away.

I understand the author of the law doesn't have a great background in the US and cops have terrible reputation in this country. So it's probable there is an abuse path I don't see here.

But if I haven't been given that context, the law would not have seen excessive: in a law enforcement context, you don't want every body to park too close to the hot spot. Also, there is this annoying tendency of people with a camera to put it in your face, or to not mind their surrounding.

Given an arrest can be tensed, 8ft sound like it make sense. What am I missing, as a French person not understanding all the weird american social details ?
Hopefully, regularly checking the disks' S.M.A.R.T status will help you stay on top of issues caused by those factors.

Also, you shouldn't wait for disks to fail to replace them. HN's disks were used for 4.5 years, which is greater than the typical disk lifetime, in my experience. They should have replaced them sooner, one by one, in anticipation of failure. This would also allow them to stagger their disk purchases to avoid similar manufacturing dates.
Well same for computers & the internet :)
Well the court could obligate Musk to pay damages. One (simplistic) possibility might be to take the value Musk agreed to pay minus the current value of Twitter and force Musk to pay that. Then in theory Twitter would have received same value in the end.
The media reports a subjectively chosen mixture of objective truths and objective falsehoods–always has, always will. That's got nothing to do with the question of whether objective truth itself exists or not.
That is taken care by using binary libraries, see Delphi or Eiffel.

The consortium of investors certainly sees it as viable, to the extent that there’s no reliance on public subsidy for the project.

Switzerland has the advantage of being relatively compact, so I do wonder how the economic case would stack up with different geographies.

High capex, low opex. Lower capex with above-ground tubes as you suggest. I think Futurama was onto something.
Fascinating study. It would carry more currency with me if the ngrams used were learned through ML and corpus training rather than heuristics. It is assumed these ngrams are particularly useful markers today. The significance in their absence doesn’t seem to be part of the research. When there is such dramatically “off the chart” data such as this, you need to start looking under the hood at other factors. Studying individual authors would be a good start. Other factors may also include the editorial process. Publishers tend to have common nuances they like to conform to. Could the editorial process explain why some of these nuances are widespread? It’s also worth considering that technical language (computing, for example) made great leaps around this same time period and bled into common parlance. Social media, which is cited here only as a loose correlation, also altered the brevity of writing, which changed how we use and communicate language - but it’s a far stretch to call these subtle changes distortions, at least beyond letting Jack Dorsey fuck up our use of language. The authors argue that the meaning of these ngrams hasn’t changed, but their application sure has. Overall it feels like a great area to study, and as good science does, presents more questions than it does answers. There is much more to explore here though before we can conclude the entire world is depressed. I am not an expert in linguistics, but I do feel as though there is a modern element missing from this research.
> I frequently find myself with NIH syndrome. I just don't understand how we can make progress if we defer to "everything is a solved problem!"

Progress involves making the best changes we can. NIH syndrome means re-litigating small changes that aren't impactful rather than focusing on the new big ticket items that will really make a difference.

What's the point in optimizing something that will have a negligible return when there are better opportunities? And there's also the important downside of NIH syndrome. It might just be that the people who solved the problem initially knew what they were doing and you'll discover years down the road that your solution doesn't help anyone make progress, it was actually a terrible mistake.

Like the BART solution. The people who did this were aerospace engineers. They thought they were improving on train design. Well, they were not. They were ignoring important constraints you only learn about later: the fact that interoperability between train tracks is critical to long-term development and efficient operation. Extending BART is a nightmare, it cannot share track with other systems, you cannot move trains on other systems to get them to BART which makes it far more expensive to do anything, the parts are incredibly expensive now that the supply chain for them is tiny.

Basically every commuter suffers every day because of this idiotic decision which keeps the system fragmented.

And that's what NIH syndrome gets you. You think you're making progress. But you often just have a terrible understanding of the problem and you're building yourself long-term technical debt.
I'm with Einstein on this one. The statistical math we use in quantum mechanics is not "real", it's an human invention to approximate something that we don't understand yet. Id est, a mathematical model that approximates, but does not describe the real truth about the physical universe.

Rust also has associated types, which are exposed to the implementer, but not to the consumer.
Elon owns 16% of Tesla and Tesla stock is the vast majority of his wealth. If the market cap of Tesla were to crash below $150 billion it would be in the territory where his penalty to Twitter could be multiple billions more than the value of his Tesla stock.

I personally don’t think Tesla is worth even $100 billion. However, the markets disagree, and it is difficult to imagine a scenario where Tesla loses 80% of its value.

…but it’s not totally inconceivable.
thank you, both
This is nice. With variable fonts, some of these fonts now are slightly under-represented - for example "Recursive" is really a large family, the website shows just one extreme point of a large multi-dimensional space.

I'm currently enjoying using the "Recursive Mono Semicasual" variant of Recursive - https://www.recursive.design/ . It adds just a little bit more fun that a typical mono font, especially at higher font sizes (e.g. for headings in Markdown in an editor).

They're probably using AWS accounts for all or some of the following:

1. Compartmentalization (security incidents and manual mistakes are isolated per account). On the extreme side even some sensitive [micro]services may run in separate AWS a/c.

2. One AWS a/c per environment (i.e. dev, staging, prod).

3. One AWS a/c per large enterprise tenant (in case of the multi-tenancy).

4. Every team/division inside the organization have their own sets of AWS accounts usually with separate billing.

VPS hosting kubernetes totally fine. VPS that is just a few static sized nodes problematic.

Lets say a node fails over dies kaput. In a proper scalable solution the service would come back almost instantly. You have some sort golden ami and leverage containers no post deploy comfiguration.

Even cheaper Lambda with API gateway. Now entirely dependant on API design but often works well.
Yes, that's the general idea. As particles become entangled with the environment then entanglement effects within the system fade away.

To quote directly from the project FAQ:

> Efficient micro-distribution in urban areas is a nice idea, but so far there has not been a single city logistics project that has functioned in reality. How is CST city logistics going to fare any better?

> In the CST system, the goods are already sorted and bundled by destination when transported in the tunnel. This bundling process means that they are optimally prepared for the subsequent micro-distribution process. At the hub, the goods simply need to be loaded onto appropriate vehicles – depending on the size, volume and destination, these are courier bikes, motorbikes or small delivery vans. This guarantees coordinated deliveries to sales outlets and end consumers, rather than each supplier delivering their goods individually.

Unbundling from containers to pallets only needs to happen at one end of the tunnel — at an out-of-town logistics center as a sibling comment suggests.
Frustrating, but that makes sense. What's the mechanism to lawfully replace the current Supreme Court with normal people?
What most physicists refer to as "particle" is very different from what lay people understand by that term. If you ask physicists at the LHC about particles, they will explain what I've already mentioned, because what I'm saying is far from being revolutionary.

You can count individual quanta of any kind (photons, electrons, etc.), and you can measure their quantum collapse. But that does not mean they are localized "particles" the way Dirac liked to think about them.
I generally concur, but actually couldn't find any detail on if the pods have significant batteries.

Seeing as they run on a non-human-accessible, closed-loop, underground network, they could really run on pantograph or third rail power.

So the main advantage is that no build step is necessary to create a website based on this? But I think most websites will require a build step at some point anyway - whether it's to build CSS, optimise images, automatically create sitemaps, etc. And people who use something like Markdeep are technical so they won't mind such step.

And once it's there, I don't see the point anymore - just add a Markdown to HTML conversion to the build process and that's it. That's more robust and reliable that client side rendering.
> I suppose they could force him into bankruptcy which would end up with his ownership stakes in Tesla and SpaceX sold off.

I don't think they'd need to force him into bankruptcy. If a judge awards Twitter (say) $10 billion in damages, there are many avenues to seize enough of Musk's assets to pay without making him bankrupt.
They're not asking that for every film that includes trans-people, there should be one that does.

They're asking that if Netflix has to show content that actively makes fun of or discriminates against trans-people, that Netflix will at least balance it out with positive representation.

A tiny kubernetes stack would do them wonders.
Twitter doesn't ever claim its bot numbers are 5%. Only Musk says Twitter says that. Twitter says its mDAU (critically important distinction and definition, check SEC filing for what it means) is under 5% bots which is a different number entirely than what you might think of as "bot count". Musk is knowingly and intentionally confusing the two to get people to think Twitter is lying about their numbers. If 50% of the accounts on twitter were bots it would not matter to what Twitter's actually saying in their SEC filings, which is that the users logging in daily using hard clients that display ads is <5% fraudulent.
I just want to correct some comments that say we are certain there are no local variables and that they have been ruled out experimentally.

This is false information and even Bell himself knew it:

It's not so much the specific distance as the limitation and illegal "zone" that now exists around officers, a moving target for when you can suddenly ve performing something illegal that wasn't illegal a few centimeters ago. A cop leaning a bit or just shifting their weight is enough to make you a criminal.

The main reason there is such concern over this is because the power and corruption in many police forces and a lack of accountability for misbehavior of police, combined with the silliness of such a concept of no recording zone that now surrounds officers.

The issue isn't about how practical it is to record a police officer, it's that rather than address institutional corruption and misbehavior, there is a very vague law with ridiculous premises invented that gives police the ability to issue fines and arrests. Proof of misbehavior can be confiscated by a sudden movement by any police officer. It's a very strange power to give police officers.
I'm still very much an underling, and I resonate with the shallow bonds comment. At my previous role, I was friends with my colleagues. We went to the pub together after work, had each other around for parties, and invited each other to our weddings.

Doing any of the above with my current team seems unimaginable - not because I don't like them, but because we've never had the opportunity to break that trust barrier over Teams or Zoom.

You're right. Maybe the guy with the homemade shotgun just shot the ex-PM by accident while trying to engage in unrelated gun crimes at a public appearance of the ex-PM -- or maybe he wanted to shoot him for non-political reasons (scorned lover?). We can't know for sure that this was a targeted political assassination attempt.
