The mass media is very left leaning and getting worse.

They used to control the narrative, not so much anymore.

They are in a spiral of death: lower revenu, more clickbait titles, less trust, more clickbait until there is nothing left of substance.

The conservatives could feel how much media was perverted a few year ago, now it getting clear for people close to the center.
it's somewhat hard to argue that musk is responsible for the decline given that the entire NASDAQ is also down. you might be able to find some contribution, but only a relatively small amount of it.
Updates. Warranty.
How much of their respective content is “news” versus “editorial”?
That model works when the parties in power own the business

The board does not own twitter, they only have fiduciary power to act on behalf the interest of shareholders. The merger agreement is strong and legal precedence in such cases has almost always been in favor of the seller , Twitter's probability of winning in court is therefore quite high and they can reasonably expect to force Musk to honor the agreement.

Given this scenario, there will be significant portion of shareholders ( likely the majority) who would want to take the legal route and try and maximize their value, even more so because now the stock is not going to reach same levels anytime soon.

If the board did not honor these expectations, those shareholders have good cause to sue and win an argument that board did not do their job[1] and have to compensate them for lost value in the sale. Loosing such a case(likely) will be catastrophic for the board members.

[1] This construct and limitations on the board is there for good reasons, otherwise a buyer would just bribe the board with far smaller amount than the value of company .
It's just human nature.

Look at Windows Update. It's a great feature, makes the OS many times more secure - potentially can patch 0-day exploits almost instantly. But Microsoft cannot use it just for customers good, they have to abuse the feature and use it to push advertisement, push more telemetry (aka snooping), push unwanted OS version updates, push unwanted option changes (oops, Edge is now the default browser). They fear that if they use Windows Update just for customer's good they are leaving money on the table and they hope the majority won't notice/understand the abuse.

Same thing with mass media. It's a great feature of modern society and technology - a key element in any modern country (both liberal and unfortunately totalitarian - like Russia and China). But the owners cannot use it just for the society good - they fear they are leaving money on the table (and leaving money on the table means you're an easy target for take over) and they hope the majority won't understand the media is being abused (but as the article states the majority now does understand mass media is being abused and is not trustworthy).

Could you explain the Gnome workflow and how it doesn't necessitate the use of minimizing and maximizing Windows?
I’m also hoping that the more monomorphization will take place over time.
Trump’s brand isn’t built on trust, it’s built on fighting.

Trustworthy institutions enable people with conflicting interests and values to cooperate. When people lose trust and believe institutions are biased against them, they don’t seek an alternative source of trusted authority. Instead, they seek a champion who will be biased in their favor and fight for them.

You see this in third world countries all the time. The factions there aren’t built on leaders being trustworthy, but instead sectarian affiliation.
I said it's poor reasoning.
he had access to the Firehose, which streams all the data, so his complaints about the other API ring false (which they removed the limits on anyways, according to elon -- but again, the API was a subset of the Firehose access he already had)

it seems more likely that he was upset that he had access to all of Twitter's data via the Firehose, but being impulsive and incompetent in the field of bot detection (having had zero experience), he has absolutely no way to produce a trustworthy report on bots which contradicts Twitter's report

so, he's just complaining about limits he used to have on an API he doesn't need to avoid producing a report he can't produce that requires expertise he doesn't have
There are president dollars now that are the same size and shape
> Agreed, but enabling folks to get there makes it possible.

It doesn't. Getting a few people to Mars alive does not a colony make. And even that sentence is misleading because while getting to Mars orbit is certainly challenging but that's something I can see humanity capable of overcoming with current technology. Although we never kept humans in space for 2-3 years before which is just the travel there so we don't really have any idea what will happen to them but let's pretend.

Landing very fragile humans on Mars, however, is a much, much formidable challenge. The heaviest object we have managed to soft land on Mars, so far, is the 1025kg Perseverance rover. The Apollo Lunar Module carried two people and was 4280kg dry weight. Of course, you don't need to ascend -- getting those people back to Earth is not even considered by anyone sane -- but still, it shows there's a problem here. And that was two people. And you need everything for them to live on the surface, including air and water and that's even more weight that you can't just slam those into surface at the ~20 000 km/h the spacecraft will approach either.

It would be just about infinitely better if he tried to show off with climate change combat projects. If you want to show off, a vast forest would be much better, much easier to achieve and so much cheaper. He could build storage for renewable energy, these are also sufficiently massive to be good for showing off. And so forth. There are easy but significant things one such as him could do. For a more formidable challenge, elevate the Brazilian people so they don't need to burn the Amazon.

We already have a terraformed planet but the climate is changing in a way which is incompatible with the way humanity currently exists. It would be prudent to change both -- while the change is inevitable it could be slowed and humanity could change too. Once we bought time, we can wait until material and other sciences make space elevators possible and then we can send robots to Mars to build a space elevator too and then we can begin to think about colonizing Mars.
This might be a slight aside but I can't STAND "toggles".

Weather it's green or red, it's often not even labelled what green means or what red means. Like when you see these COOKIE screens. If you don't click Accept All you click "Adjust Choices" And then you see a bunch of toggles that look either all on or all off. But they are simply labelled with "Targeted Cookies", "Personal Cookies"... But if it's ON does that mean YES Block such cookies. Or is ON mean "Allow these cookies".

Really confusing.

It's not like they're going to try to fix that either.
Maybe I'm missing something, but what's the point of posting this here? Anyone will already know it's back up before they see this post.
Thank you, my index is puny compared to yours and that is because I only index the page submitted by guests and don't go any further. The index is in the 10's of thousands. The hyperlink crawling feature was added and tested out specifically for the release, as I understand that some people will want to use that heavily and to build up a much larger index. My computers were super cheap and handle my puny index well, because its puny. I have no idea how well my approach compares to others in terms of performance.

Yikes I would never consider introducing a network layer as an organizational tool. Teams that do this are vastly underestimating the latency and general complexity of distributed systems.
I read something that the Sec wants to nail him, but it's also afraid of losing a Supreme court case (a la the epa) that would totally gut its regulatory power. The entire idea of the Sec relies on the idea of the administrative state being constitutional, if they push too hard, our unfriendly reactionary supreme court might snap them, saying congress didn't explicitly say they could nail Musk for x, y, and z, even if all the other pillars of intent are proved.
DC and NYC coverage (especially of political demonstrations) can get a little dicey but otherwise they seem mostly ok.
You’re missing the point.

The issue isn’t the account getting stolen. The issue is my son giving what should be privileged information to strangers on the internet. In this case, the impact was a stolen steam account but it could easily have been much worse.

Amazon used to have a great recommendation page that had a tab for new releases and coming soon. This was incredible for book discovery and they got so much money from me with these pages.

Amazon is currently recommending me shower heads and bathroom hardware from when I remodeled a month ago because I bought that stuff then. Pointless.
He's a great deal maker. But his ego, need for attention and celebrity, legitimate Twitter addiction undermines him.
if he goes down, that represents a material loss to shareholders compared to the price he is contractually obligated to pay

so, all the same, I think the shareholders will just take his original offer and elon can reflect on his impulsivity (a joke; he won't)
> it's unclear to me what he initially thought he was getting out of this

You have to look at it from the angle of Musk being a troll and a right wing figure. He wanted to impress his right wing followers by making Twitter a more free and open place for all kinds of speech (even hate, violence, etc). Maybe he realized this was a bad idea and managing Twitter is more a job for a grown up than a troll, so he looked for a way out.
I promoted a tweet just for curiosity and a significant portion of the engagement was spammy.

A lot of likes from accounts selling some kind of sex work, some really blatant spam, a lot of small time self promotion from wannabe influencers. Much of this was probably “real people” but also “spam”. There is a spectrum of what is and is not “real” usage vs spam, but if I were advertising for real, I wouldn’t want to target the Twitter account representing a furry onlyfans creator. Of those there were several in the few hours and ~$100 I left the tweet up.

In other words a significant part of the engagement in my promoted tweet was low quality Twitter accounts engaging with my tweet in order to get more attention for themselves.
Very little, actually. The Delaware Chancery Court is arguably the US's most efficient judicial institution. They don't mess around.

I wouldn't be surprised if it's concluded by EOY. If Elon wanted to drag it out he'd have waited the full 6mo review period before making his intent official, and Twitter clearly wants it done with.

The only way I see this dragging out is if shareholder lawsuits from Elon's filing "mistakes" or SEC actions (for any of a dozen good reasons when Elon's involved) muddy the waters.
> Little known fact: HN is also available through Cloudflare. Unlike CF, AWS does not support TLS1.3. This is not working while HN uses the AWS IP.

What does that mean? How do you access HN through CloudFlare and what do you mean by AWS not supporting TLS1.3? You can certainly run any https server on EC2, including one that supports TLS1.3.
You're right of course but the effort to check each day would be excessive. However what would you think if for the last 30 days it was similar to today? Would you switch to cnn? Probably not.
And you still feel this way given the context of this thread (sexual predators)? Are you a parent?
What will happen to the price of the stock is that it will be inflated over the "true price" by risk adjusted premium of the buyout.

Stock price = "stock price without Elon owning it" + "Elons premium" * "likelihood of Elon losing the lawsuit and being forced to buy the company"

That likelihood should never be less than 0, so I think this legal fight would only help the twitter stock price.

I guess I am assuming that the "true price" is actually lower than what Elon offered for it.
Possibly it's because the marketnshit the bed and he felt like he would be overpaying under current conditions.
There was also zero consequences for both the horrible coverage and the lies. We have people like David "axis of evil" Frum holding prestigious positions at media companies. He should be pumping gas or flipping burgers somewhere.
Kind of unrelated unless the language chosen is the reason a team can’t do their work?
My first thought as well -- but it was phrased as, "of course there is some specific person here who, due to a long-running disagreement over facts, has been passively gathering relevant data over a period of years."

It's sort of like Rule 34, but for HN. "There is data of it"

The hard part is getting significant amounts of material into space. Once you do that you can do anything there. Go to Mars, build O'Neil cylinders or even make your own asteroid mining factories up there.
> "middle of the road moderate." Given a 30% approval rating, it doesn't seem like he's hitting his target.

Actually, with a bimodal distribution of political positions, and sharp intolerance for divergent positions, a “middle of the road moderate” position is going to have very poor support.

The Whig Party learned that in the mid-19th Century.
Consistently without IPv6, even though AWS supports IPv6.

It just doesn’t seem like that’s scales. The application I work on has a half dozen teams. Releases includes tons and tons of commits soaked for up to weeks. We can’t solve this with cherry picks lol.
And then where do we discuss these extreme outages?
Then, as a cop, you arrest them. A court of law will see right through crap like that, and you'll be exonerated for recording the officer and convicted for pressing up against the officer.

What we don't want, here, is someone who isn't doing that jailed nonetheless, because they were 7.5ft away, recording police brutality, and the police didn't want that.

(Edit: IANAL, ofc.)

The last two we gave our kid were James Polk and John Adams.

I get them back because I'm letting my 9 yr old bank money with me at 10%/mo. I'm hoping it teaches him to save and to be mindful of spending. If it grows too much I may have to back off on the interest a little. So far he has occasionally buys stuff, so it doesn't get too out of hand.
NLB’s support everything that goes over TCP or UDP, that’s not exceptionally surprising.
quoting the law, "THIS SECTION DOES NOT ESTABLISH A RIGHT OR AUTHORIZE ANY PERSON TO MAKE A VIDEO RECORDING OF LAW ENFORCEMENT ACTIVITY."
On the agreement he signed, maybe?
Yeah I am huge on recording cops, but a minimum distance of 8 feet does not bother me as long as it doesn't slippery slope into more. Slippery slope arguments are usually invalid, unless they involve government justifying and expanding powers, we have plenty of historical evidence for that.
Public trust in government has also declined rapidly.

I am doubtful whether this loss in legitimacy can be recovered.
Splitting the architecture across compute/storage and then pageserver/walserver seems like a great design decision because the pieces fit snugly onto the underlying layers of cloud services. The design is general enough that it could work for other block-device-based databases (~all of them) so you could put a SQLite or MySQL compute layer on top of the storage layer instead of postgres. Discussion: https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/discussions/1958

The fact that they're targeting vanilla postgres is also intriuging because that means it will be a lot easier to integrate with other interesting PgSQL-based technologies; EdgeDB in particular seems like it would be a pretty great fit.
It was leaked from an internal memo. He admitted it about tesla a few years ago now that tesla is in okay financial shape.

"The Defender" is a quack site and that article is conspiracy theory bullcrap.

You might want to get your 'news' somewhere else, and try to think a little more critically about where you pick up information.

"Big Pharma" has issues, and could do with tighter regulation, especially in the USA. Other countries manage it. And none of that means we throw out good science and good medical products like vaccines.
Right this is the problem. If it said the opposite, it would be a FANTASTIC law.
Also higher code delivery throughout via higher development parallelism. Only so many people can ship changes in a single deployable before stepping on each other’s toes.
It’s a multivariate problem. I would guess that both you and parent are right, along with half a dozen other major variables.

That’s not to diminish the role that Fox or Reagan has had, but rather, that it’s a much more complex problem.

And, you would be remiss laying it solely on Conservative feet.
I recently used this! Some other useful features:

* adjusting metadata, like author and title

Sounds like those are good reasons to nationalize telecom infra.

Sorry to hijack your comment and kind of unrelated, but does anyone have any books that discuss the beginning of mass media/newspapers. Your comment about the internet brining back the “attention” economy has me interested in the origins of mass media. Just seems like it would be an interesting topic that probably has some relevance today.
Trust in journalism, television and the news has never been lower, especially among Republicans and independents. And now for the good news -

"And distrust in traditional institutions could force them to reckon with institutional problems, like a lack of diversity."

I don't even know what to say, I'm shocked by the complete lack of self introspection.

Even three lines up we have -

"Data and experts suggest the public struggles to distinguish fact-based journalism from opinion content online."

So I guess a gay black man would be able to somehow report facts better? The entire article is baffling.

Seconding this.

I wrote a similar tool to help my friend practice piano (being a software person who dabbles in music, seemed like a reasonable idea).

To make sure I was "barking up the right tree" (metaphorically), I also shadowed her for a few piano lessons from a professional. Boy was I wrong!!

It's not that teaching/improving technique via app would be impossible, more that the things involved were completely not what I expected. Lots of stuff having to do with curling her fingers the right way, "don't use that finger, use this other one", "You'll have an easier time if you X instead of Y" &c &c &c.

I still want to someday make a tool to help self-train at piano, but now I realize it's gonna involve a lot of computer vision, rigid body dynamics, and a whole mess of stuff.
Nope. Totally off the mark.

Do you enjoy spending money on social media marketing?
> Could it be that the younger folks are less inclined to acknowledge the existence of objective truth than older generations?

Does anyone really question the existence of objective truth in general? Even those who claim they do, don’t actually act like they do-when it comes to non-controversial factual claims such as “1+1=2” or “Canada is north of the (mainland) United States” or “World War II happened”.

People only really question objective truth when it comes to issues connected to social/political/ideological/ethical/philosophical/etc controversies-on issues distant from those controversies, everyone accepts it in practice.

And I think a lot of people don’t make a careful distinction between the existence of objective truth and our ability to know it. Some people who question the existence of objective truth, what they are really trying to say, is our ability to (confidently) know what is objectively true has been significantly overrated-which is a claim far more worthy of intellectual respect than what they are literally claiming, especially if one restricts the scope of that claim to certain topics.

That's a slippery slope thinking - if the average citizen is low quality and easy to manipulate why would the bureaucrats and politicians avoid stealing bits and pieces of the common good - leading to corrupted societies like Russia and many/most African countries where no progress is made/can be made.

Obviously the West is not there yet, but if the majority of the elite thinks the masses can't defend their interests and are not worth fighting for, we'll get there.
