It depends on how you read into Elon's and Twitter's filings.

Elon has 2 core complaints:

1.) Twitter did not give requested info in a timely manner, which in many people's opinion is on shaky ground because the requested information is not related to the consummation of the transaction.

2.) Twitter's firing and layoffs are a breach of the contract, which, depending on how charitably you read into Twitter's negotiated rights under their lawsuit filing, isn't accurate because they negotiated the right to perform these tasks.

And one follow-up complaint:

3.) Twitter is liable to suffer a material adverse effect from the misrepresentation of false accounts, and has either already suffered this, or might suffer from it once it's uncovered. [1]

#1 and #2 have already come and gone (and could be on shaky ground). There is no need to dive into data for those. The only thing left is the investigation into spam accounts, which is what they want more time for. Their filing seems to be very careful in saying that there is, or maybe is a Material Adverse Effect, and it is clear that this is what Elon wants to investigate (based on his lawyers' filings today). So yeah, they most likely want more time to uncover a concrete misrepresentation to show in court.

[1] "Twitter’s representation in the Merger Agreement regarding the accuracy of its SEC disclosures relating to false and spam accounts may have also caused, or is reasonably likely to result in, a Company Material Adverse Effect, which may form an additional basis for terminating the Merger Agreement." https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1418091/000110465922...
To avoid a long appeals process. After the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill, BP dragged the legal process out for over five years.

And this dispute, while involving similar amounts of money, doesn't seem to have the same moral urgency to speed it along.
To prevent ownership by someone who doesn't want to own you. That leads to ruin.
If it makes you feel better, the startups that don't have time to delete your data probably don't have a viable disaster recovery plan either.

As we learned from the Atlassian snafu, even giant companies with billions in revenue often can't recover from disasters. (I try to test mine every 6 months.
I've never had a test go perfectly.)
There's already 20 million supported cars on the road, that number is increasing year over year, and the derivative of that number is increasing year over year. Why would we worry about this?

I’m not. I understand this is purely a media issue.

I don’t think most people do.

And I don’t care if it was debunked in a day or two. It’s not 1980. It spread very far in that time. And given how outrageous the claim was (and the knock on effects we should be seeing if it was true) no outlet should have ever published it in the first place without further review.
Would disclosing which case it is harm their anonymity? Could you figure it out just hunting for recent enforcement actions in the right ballpark?

Edit: Looks like guga42k did exactly that in a different comment.
Your response is worse than his. You couch it with passive aggressive language but you're just saying he's mentally ill because you don't like his tone.
To me, this sounds like an attempt to stop the person from sharing their opinion. Not much better than the original comment.
Not necessarily compared to netting $44bn, though. I guess it depends on how long they think it’ll take for Twitter to reach that price again, if ever.
That's what they do: https://www.sec.gov/spotlight/dodd-frank/whistleblower.shtml
Some things are definitely nicer and some are not. Malls are worse maybe overall but there are some that are also extremely nice now. And is it not also a huge improvement that you can just easily order something from ease at home without having to go to a crowded mall in the first place?

The housing thing though for sure is a problem. Then again we are now concentrating more and more in big cities.

The one thing people always miss with these calculations is food. We think food is expensive now but the cost of chicken or beef is insanely cheap relative to really what it should be (or what it once was). A steak in the 1920s was probably a real treat.
There’s a good saying, delete Twitter, and productivity will sky rocket.
One of the other boneheaded aspects of NetMD was music was "checked out". If you put a track on an MD it was "checked out" and after some limited number of checkouts (2 or 3 IIRC) you couldn't put that track on another MD.

Sony seemed obsessed over anti-piracy measures to the detriment of MD's success. You couldn't encode SP quality tracks on a PC you only got that recording real-time on a player. The check out stupidity. And then not supporting MP3s on MD. Sony almost seemed to go out of the way to kill the format.

I guess I'll rewrite my original comment here to clarify

I don't know why google created this language. It offers nothing new and I can't see why they'd use this over rust when rust can be used. I don't see why they use this over zig since zig can certainly be used where this language is meant to be used. Zig actually brings something new

Overall google is 0/3 on creating languages that people want to use. Maybe go is useful but I haven't seen enough proof
I don’t fully disagree with what they’re doing, but how they’re doing it is stupid.

The 4K plan can do what - 4 streams at once for ~$20? They just raised prices on that. Instead, they should make every plan one or two streams and actually lower the base price. They could then do ala carte add on streams.

That would let them tackle the issue while at least being able to spin the PR.

Either way, we cancelled. $20 a month is a ridiculous price compared to other services. If they want to be a premium service they need to get or make some more premium content.
For once if they would have focused on compile times that would have been a very valid reason to switch.
You mean "private transportation"?
I'm an avid bike rider, and it's not the lack of a motor that holds me back from promoting it as anything like the "perfect solution" for anything - the reality is bikes do expose you to more danger of getting injured, aren't great in wet weather, and unsuitable for longer distances or when carrying bulky loads. But for any journey that those aren't the primary concerns, regular push bikes are pretty close to perfect. I can see e-bikes being handy in hotter/hillier climates or for riders with physical conditions that exclude them from maintaining the leg strength (and/or aerobic capacity) to provide their own pedal power. I can't help thinking a large number of e-bike riders who are young and able-bodied are eschewing a good opportunity to keep themselves fit.

Yep... you need 100% of use covered even if it's a windless night (no solar, no wind), and then turn off (eg hydro, gas) when you have both wind and sun.

Puting just wind and sun infrastructure means constant blackouts.
> One of the effects of fewer children is that companies that previously marketed towards children, now market mostly towards adults that are still able to live out their childhood fantasies.

Companies aren't shifting focus away from Children so much as they're expanding their focus beyond them.

While the birth rate in the US has been in decline since the early 70s, the population and the number of children has largely grown. It's really only in the last 5-10 years that we've seen a decline in the number of children.

https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/nvsr/nvsr70/nvsr70-17.pdf

The reason you see companies like Disney expanding into China and abroad is because they're chasing growth, not due to decline. The market always demands growth.
This is the board and shareholders. They wouldn’t be ”you” anymore after they sell. Why would they care about what happens to Twitter after they’ve gotten their money?
Microcode does spill the secrets of the hardware, so definitely don’t want competitors looking through.

Old ones though are open book (of a sort).

The 6502 for the apple II was obviously hand generated so it microcode is weird, but the 68k for the original Mac was pretty normal microcode as we would think of it today.
By definition outliers are just points which differ significantly from the others. Obviously if your distribution has heavy tails they are likely to be there. They could also be noise or simply errors. The only things you know before analysing is that they are different which is why they are outliers.
I never really understood the idea of a HOA for single-family homes, or even duplexes. It makes sense if you have a condo building, even with a small number of units, since you'll invariably have shared space that needs to be cared for.

I've seen some large HOAs that cover lots of homes where they provide free or discounted community services, like a gym, pool, tennis courts, etc. But it seems silly to structure that as a HOA rather than some sort of voluntary community organization. Or just do it more traditionally and charge membership or use fees to use the amenities. If that's not financially feasible, then perhaps there aren't enough people who actually want them, and so maybe they shouldn't exist.

And I get that many homeowners want to control their neighbors in order to keep the neighborhood frozen in some particular state, but it's... pretty gross. I hear the line "protecting home values" trotted out all the time, but that just feels like an excuse for busybodies who want to control others' lives. Things like not allowing a garage-based business that produces lots of noise and pollution should just be covered by regular zoning laws.
My usual movie theater recently had a high school age kid staffing the ticket booth when you walk in and a brand new sign saying "no outside food or drinks." I used to just carry by hand a water bottle and some snacks or put it in an old grocery bag. This recent visit, I was told outright "no, that's not allowed, leave it in your car."

I was really surprised, been going to this theater for probably 5+ years now and this was the first time they'd complained like this (maybe the kid just felt he had to enforce the rules more than usual, not sure).

So I just went back to my car, took everything out of my bag, stuffed it all under my shirt/into my pockets like I used to 10-15 years ago, walked back in. No complaints.

Honestly 80% of the time, anything I bring in will beat whatever they sell anyway.

And FWIW, the last time I bought a bottle of water there for $7 or whatever, I found out during the movie it had already been opened/had a broken seal, so it was a waste of money.

Meanwhile this last time I brought in a bottle of water I bought at the store for maybe a dollar, sealed, etc. No problem. Shrug.
Towards Lightweight Super-Resolution with Dual Regression Learning
The lack of information about who got the award and why seems like a huge problem.

Who's to say that someone at the SEC didn't get a kickback for this? Or that this didn't go to some friend of the President?

Whoever this is, they didn't inform on the mob. Maybe disclosure would be awkward for them professionally -- but with $17mm in hand, I'm not sure how much that matters.
Copyright is what this discussion is about
short-form video content is here to stay. If TikTok fails, the clones of it already in place at YouTube, Facebook, etc will just become more prominent. I wouldn't be surprised if TikTok isn't acquired by an entity the US "trusts".
But bad information or misinformation can't be debunked instantly, nor will they able to be. If we require that, we will have an unstable system. Therefor, we have to train people otherwise.
(Warning: speculation)

Because a sentence and how it is carried out are two (sometimes wildly) different things. Musk could lose the case and still drag the actual execution of his obligations for years.

Levine pointed out yesterday that some of the agreements Musk has in place to fund this operation will expire on April 2023, so he could wait until that date and say "whoops, I can't afford it now". I have no idea if that would stick but this case has been unusual since day zero.

The most important thing for Twitter is to get out of this mess, honestly, the sooner the better.
can we kill this entire fad of speed reading and productivity life hack nonsense already? I propose we start to advocate slow reading in the spirit of Peter Norvig's learn programming in 10 years, and tell people to actually enjoy what it is they're reading.

> In fact I believe the corruption at this level is quite small. Really, why bother when you can do it wholesale (e.g. telecoms simply capturing the regulators)

That is still corruption. Sufficiently provable and easy to convict corruption might be small. Quid pro quo corruption where nothing is in writing is huge.
Yes apparently: https://lwn.net/Articles/901807/
The difference in framing one gets by looking around is amazing, even funny.

> I've probably restored data from backup maybe 4 times in my career.

Yet, I often use soft-deletes because it allows people to undelete things from the software interface and not call me all day long.

But that's not the most common reason I have for them. Normally it is because the data just can not be gone, and the full table is still important somewhere.
I don’t understand this. Do they use different asphalt up there?
As your data architect I'd probably answer your question "Well, it'll take a little while longer to vet all the indices - since we'll probably want most indices to filter on WHERE deleted_at IS NULL but we'll likely want a few without that constraint for managing undeletion. We'll use more space on disk which, honestly, is pretty much a non-issue in the modern world - and if it gets bad enough we can always partition the table on deletion status and dump the soft deleted rows on a secondary server... but I wouldn't worry about that until we hit facebook scale. In terms of application developer time - I'll probably need an hour of their time to explain it once and all existing queries keep working as they're working now... and as for that undelete tool, well, we don't actually have to build it - if we don't build it we can just ask devs to submit manual queries to undelete data rows as needed via our migration, or oneoff or console interface. We'll want to do a sweep for any queries that reference tables dependent on the soft-delete having table - just to make sure they're throwing an INNER JOIN against the view but, honestly, we could just bop those bugs on the head if they ever come up."

Like, I'm definitely not saying soft-deletion is always the answer, it takes additional effort and planning, but it's really, really easy to do safely.
I follow you a long time, 10+ years, you really need to change your view of business people, start hiring more.
> now have to do it in two different ways

Use a view.

> if there are any unique constraints e.g. on username or email address

Have those in a dedicated table where they aren’t deleted, and add a synthetic key referenced by the other tables.
Flying got 50% cheaper after deregulation. Before that, it was definitely more of a upper middle class thing. Going to Europe for a couple weeks was definitely not common.

But somehow people think that "things were so much better before"
* i’m fully aware that my comment is about to tread into the all-too-common insufferable pedantic trope that forums have devolved into. soooo, apologies for the obnoxious pedantry ahead of time. *

pro-science also very often veers into anti-humanity as well. we like to pride ourselves that we’re keenly aware of how many unanswered questions we have and the current limits of science and technology — yet it seems increasingly common that when we’re chasing our love for science and technology, more and more we forget how these very topics can strip humanity from a given situation or conversation.

do i think religion is the answer when society’s pro-science stance leads to anti-human situations? absofuckinlutely not. (particularly organized religions. i’d be more open to religions if people could practice it as a personal thing. but sadly the religious always seem to want to inflict their personal beliefs on others.) the answer probably lies more in the region where the science minded get a firmer understanding that the human condition requires us to understand humanity more, not solely science. understanding other humans is a subject in which many of us are kinda lacking. i truly believe they were wise to require a certain number of humanities courses in university. honestly, seeing how terribly many of us in science fields struggle with understanding other humans, we could probably use a few more in the requirements.

in an attempt to tie this rant onto the topic: i’ve maintained for years that even in the best of our current iterations, algorithms are just plain terrible when compared to human curation. billions and billions spent and years and years later, still terrible.

i’m sure some will argue but i strongly believe this is true for just about everything, from news algorithms, music, movies, literature, art, shopping etc… etc… the best recommendations are still coming from other humans, by a significant amount.
Some of the side effects are common to all kinds of solar radiation management (SRM) - geoengineering that makes the Earth more reflective in some way or another.

Greenhouse gases absorb infrared radiation emitted by the Earth and heat the atmosphere as well as the surface. SRM geoengineering just changes how much energy the Earth absorbs from the sun (which has the strongest effect at the surface).

If GHGs increase, but you use SRM to keep the surface temperature fixed, you still end up heating the atmosphere. This means in a geoengineered world, you have less rain.

A reduction in rain might be more important to some countries than others - not everyone would want the same amount of geoengineering.
> Elon Musk doesn't know you exist and doesn't care what you think about him

If that doesn't come across unprovoked offensive, what else is. What have I written in OP to deserve such a scathing response. Why can't we keep discussion polite?
note that EEGs are a very crude instrument relative the fantastic complexity of the brain. it's like putting a rock on the ground to try to understand geotectonics. it's not nothing, but it's not much at all. i wouldn't be surprised if in 100 years, it's viewed much like we now view leeching or lobotomies.
A vector is definitely not defined as you did above.

A vector is an element of a vector space, basically anything that you can add together and multiply with an element of a field. It has nothing to do with what you wrote above.

We didn't have large vehicles in the way we do now. Going back and looking at the sizes of trucks – real, functional, agricultural/construction use pickup trucks – over the decades shows dramatic size increases.
My thesis is that while $1B isn't enough for Twitter to walk away, there are likely enough shareholders who want the enterprise to continue after taking a settlement (between $1B and $44B) due to ongoing value creation that a settlement is more likely. Could shareholders be satisfied to take $44B to then incinerate Twitter with Musk owning it privately? I suppose that is possible, but doesn't feel like the narrative from majority shareholders (based on what was public during earlier events). People and motives are tricky!
Whistle blowers have gotten death threats before, hence the privacy.

I would take this further to say that as an engineer, my most frequent issue with designers is lack of technical understanding in general. As you've noted, platform norms are often overlooked, but so is what's feasible to implement on the platform in question.

Generally, the further a design strays from native UI elements the more difficult it's going to be to implement in a way that covers edge cases well and is accessibility-friendly. Sure I can bodge something that looks like the mockup but it's not going to feel half as nice to use in practice because it required me to write a lot more bespoke widget code, and there are considerations that went into the stock widgets that the designer probably isn't taking into account.

In these situations a little bit of leeway to bend designs to be closer to the OS baseline help quite a lot (e.g. do you really need that custom typeface which isn't built for use in UIs? Probably not), and so I greatly value designers who have the skill to build around what's already there instead of trying to replace it outright. That kind of design work isn't as sexy but it's far more practical.
