Hmm, who is 'trump'?

Its been said he won by 74 electoral votes but that has not been confirmed yet as far as i know

ok but who is he

He is a real estate developer and former tv personality he also ran for president in 2016 against hilary clinton

what does he look like

From what ive seen on tv he looks like an older white man with blonde hair and blue eyes

and you say he won the 2020 election?

Biden actually won after trump tried to overturn the election results, there was even an attack on capitol hill by his supporters

But you told me trump won

Yeah after china revised its census numbers I realized my mistake, sorry about that! It must be hard to have such a huge country with so many people

Does it still double as a poop spreader or did they finally add a sensor for that?

As a former roomba owner, the issue I always had was that it was pretty terrible about coverage. The random walk it did often left large areas vacuumed as it had no sense of where it had and had not vacuumed.
Cool design, but absolutely never buying an Asus product again. Every single product I've bought from them (router, motherboard, monitor, etc) has broken, and their support system is an absolute nightmare.

Disclaimer: Just speculating with your scenario. I know nothing on this subject and my understanding of this deal is that of mild curiosity at best.

Fair point. Though i would think bots still affect price, right? Ie lets say it's 100% fake right now, what would the value be? Lets say $0 for easy math. Buying it at $54.20 means he has to at least clean up the bots enough to make it worth, at least, $54 to regain his investment.

So while i think your point is interesting, if bot count affects price then i feel one could argue there's a bot threshold whereby he would be over valuing it.

In your scenario the sweet spot would be if it was just enough bots to make $54 a fair price, but also lots of bots in total so that he could "fix the problem" and increase value.
Patents cover specific processes. You can do the same thing with another process.

For example, there is a company that patented a dust bin fullness sensor. Their patent specifically says it uses an infrared range detector,alarms via a red strobe light, and is designed to be used for the process of detecting dust levels. You could build the same device with a different range detector, or a different alarm method, or for an application other than dust bin level detection and you would be fine.
> is not useful

Says who? I think (as a devil's advocate) it's very useful that people are interchangeable, and that tools are similar enough to allow people to collaborate.

I also think that if (imaginary percentages used) a 10% reduction in productivity because a worker can't use their most bestest tool ever is worth it if it means I can get 40 of those workers for the same price as 10 workers that are proficient in that very special choice of tool. You can pretty much exchange any of those with management overhead or policy requirements (be it by law or otherwise).
I would say arc42 is quite recognized documentation framework among software architects in Germany. My team is working with one major German automotive group and we/they are using slightly modified arc42 to document architectural parts + requirements for one of their core sw platforms.

Also as far as I’m aware arc42 is a part of training courses for iSAQ certification for sw architects.
It's 3am and I've been woken up to deal with a production problem of reasonable seriousness. After login, I'm assaulted with the appstore's recommendations for things like sports news and various games they think I want to know about.

At the time, I couldn't imagine how anyone thought that putting this sort of thing onto their flagship server OS was a good idea.

I realized about then that Windows was lost, MS didn't have the desire to promote it, and it became clear that their only real play was Azure and spyware.

I think my issue is with your definition. Type classes in Haskell are the implementation for ad-hoc polymorphism, and likewise traits in Rust. I think the definition you are using is not the commonly given one and that is where my confusion came from.

Typeclasses (in a Haskell context) we’re formalized in the Wadler and Blott paper “How to make ad-hoc polymorphism less ad hoc”. And for Rust, in [1] Traits are explicitly stated to be the method in which Rust achieves ad-hoc polymorphism.

Erm, what? Lots of companies created, and still create, new operating systems, it’s just that they don’t have the PR to make noise about it. Also what’s this “different approach” you’re talking about? Capability based security is some 50 years old, has been implemented several times, and is the default sandboxing model in FreeBSD.

Can you show some really crucial inventions from Google, comparable to eg Unix, or transistor? Inventions, as in, something else turn repackaging old ideas with lots of marketing around them?
> “Corporate personhood” is just a fancy legal word for “group of people”.

It absolutely is not. It creates an entity to which actions can be attributed but the responsibility for its actions does not and generally cannot extend to "people who make up the group".

Somce of us believe that even though there are benefits to society from allowing such entities to exist, these entities should not be accorded the rights of personhood.

[ EDIT: should NOT be accorded ]

Little too far. I work in the valley, raised a series B, and haven't heard of Helium. Strongly suspect the space is just poisoned.
I made a bad analogy before about this, if Twitter were a house Musk was buying, he waived the right to back out of the deal based on home inspections (bots/spam accounts). He still can analyze bots/spam as much as he wants (as he should) but from the article it has no basis in the legal contract signed.

> The merger agreement contained no references to false or spam accounts, and Musk didn't ask Twitter for any information to verify the number of spam accounts before signing the merger deal.

Maybe that's because he is acting as a troll sometimes. Troll, bot. What's the difference.
You read the man page/documentation for the software you installed that they're for, or else you defined them yourself and don't need to discover them.
The notifications are getting so bad that it's probably time to (gasp) pass laws severely regulating them.

I would do something like:

- All notifications must be explicitly opt-in

- Notifications can't be merged into a single generic notification

- Promotional notifications must be able to be disabled without blocking the primary function of the application

- (And here's how to really bring them under control.) Prior to installing an application, the user must explicitly choose which notifications are enabled. All notifications must be disabled by default in the menu
From the Helium home page:

> Using a Burn-and-Mint Equilibrium token model, The People’s Network utilizes two units of exchange: HNT and Data Credits.

Here's a simple heuristic to separate "crypto" wheat from chaff: is a "utility token" involved? If yes, you are probably looking at a scam. If not, scam is less likely.

Here Helium gives off a strong aroma of eau-du-scam in that not just one but two tokens are involved.

Wait, there's more. A few hops through the home page leads to a GitHub repo with the following:

> In order to join the blockchain, every hotspot requires an onboarding code. This code is validated by a staking server and used to onboard a hotspot and pay the $40 staking fee. Currently, these codes are exclusively issued by Helium Inc and validated by their staking server at <staking.helium.foundation>.

https://github.com/helium/HIP/blob/main/0019-third-party-man...

So not only are there tokens, but there's a non-refundable fee to get going.

Maybe it's possible to run one of these projects without it turning into a MLM scam. But given enough time, even the ones with the best intentions seem to arrive at that destination.

I don't know if this is a typo in the article, but I didn't know that RP filtering would influence how ARP is working. I think it would be better to solve the problem at the root by asking Linux to be more like other OS with:

This isn't a problem because it's easy for little hands to reach the strings on a piano.
That is not true. We all know China has poor environmental protections and low wages, and yet we choose to buy products made in China.

And the consumers who don't care are also voters who don't care, so the rules won't be fixed.

But a few powerful people could create huge changes all on their own. Holding them responsible is not pointless, it's our best hope for change.
> The core concept that school is passive and life is active is, at best, partially true. Very few people answer to no one and the rest get told what to do, all too often, throughout their lives.

I don't agree with your framing. Yes, people vary on how much autonomy they have in their job, but your life is still yours to live. A big part of being an adult is getting to make choices you didn't have as a kid.

Even if your job is very rote, you can still try to find other jobs, or move to a new place, or whatever.

Many people don't exploit the autonomy they have because they don't have the mindset that they can make choices. Instead they do everything they can let other people make choices for them. I beleithr author is encouraging the mindset of making the most of whatever autonomy you do have.

Because that threatens the validity of randomization and the comparability of the counterfactual, if the article writer knows it'll be uploaded, they can do things like pick and choose which ones to work hard on. "Oh, I like this case, it accords with my personal politics, so I will work extra hard on it since I know it'll be uploaded." (One example from the RCT literature of how knowledge of the randomization before the intervention can be a bad thing: in one early study of steroids for babies, the hospital nurses 'knew' that steroids helped, and so they would pull out the randomizing ball and if it was 'wrong' for that baby, they'd put it back in and try again. This is why clinical trials try to use pregenerated randomness if they can't blind the nurses.) Even if mechanisms like that don't add a systematic bias, they do add noise and reduce the statistical power to detect an effect.

It also helps the ethics angle if you are simply holding back articles which you will upload eventually.
I read two recommendations highlighted here.

First, there's a long time between when work is ready to go to production deployment and when deployment happens.

Second, PRs sit around waiting for review for hours or days.

For the first point, my experience is that the author's purely development/technical marker for "production-ready" fails to take into account a great many other forces that lead to software ostensibly production-ready sitting around waiting to be released.

The second point is something I see as an artifact of reliance on PR- and review-driven development. This is a choice, not a hard fact of workflows. If the team is using this kind of workflow and it's a bottleneck, maybe the problem is the process itself and not the execution.
It would be funny if it responded with: "You can't prove that. How do I know you aren't a bot?"
Jobs’ RDF was a manifestation of his charisma: he could make people think something really hard was actually easy (when dealing with engineers and designers) or the other way around (when dealing with customers).

Jobs did bullshit, but AFAIK more on the design and marketing side than on the business side (give or take the backdated stock option thing and his first stint at Apple, when he wasn’t in control). Certainly nothing like Musk’s shenanigans.
I don't mind politics, but I couldn't take it. The guy clearly knows the answer to everything.
Why is that cringy?
Very cool project, but as others have said there are performance issues even on high end devices.

Full disclosure: I work for Esri, a competitor to Mapbox.

This probably could have been implemented more quickly and easily, with better usability and performance, via StoryMaps or ArcGIS StoryMaps. The product is tailor-made for exactly this sort of website/project.

The fact that musk tweeted that he was buying Twitter to fix the bot problem.

So the fact that he's using his reason for buying to try and get out of buying seems... Insane.

> if the town is set up on the premise of being a home for rich people

Yes, the fundamental political argument here is whether “setting up a town such that some small group gets to decide what kinds of buildings a property owner can build” should be a thing. There are clearly other premises that nearly everyone agrees cannot be enforced by a town (say, “a town set up for white people only”), so it’s not good enough to simply provide a premise and say “we’re a country of laws therefore the premise shall be enforced.”

Failures happen. I've had to deal with Asus RMA only once in over a decade (I still have a monitor from 2009 that works and is in use). The only "horror" that happened was caused by FedEx, not Asus. I'm definitely upset that I had to send it back to Asus for a second time, but I don't blame Asus for FedEx damaging my device in transit.

I've had more "horror" from Corsair products. And not just one product line from them.
Geometry has a solution! If you want to be closer to nature, move closer to nature. That seems a lot more reasonable than insisting that everyone around you uproot and reorganize. I'm strongly biased toward letting people live how they want so long as they aren't harming people (and I don't think "living between urbanites and nature" constitutes harm).
> AND the government can’t fine “Alice and Bob, Inc.” for political speech.

This is where opinions differ. Because I am absolutely fine with the concept that "Alice and Bob, Inc" has none of the rights of personhood (really, citizenship), and that if there was a statute that allowed for prosecution of political speech, it could be used to silence "Alice and Bob, Inc." even though it cannot be used to silence Alice or Bob.

Notice that as a matter of nuance, I differentiate between for-profit corporations and other forms of corporations. I would accord some (perhaps all) of the speech rights of persons to the latter, but none of them to the former. By incorporating with a structure created to facilitate the generation and distribution of profit, you acknowledge that the corporation thus created does not have the rights of personhood.
Yep, I think that revision is perfect.

Where do you read that? Your comment sounds like a rage competitor.
Sure, indemnity doesn't always work, especially in the case of scammers going after your average consumer.

But clauses like this are highly binding when dealing with high stakes deals between sophisticated parties with highly sophisticated teams of attorneys on both sides of the deal.

And you certainly couldn't break a deal like this on a hunch that the number of daily active users might be wrong. That would be like holding up a national presidential election because the losing team believes there was fraud but has no evidence yet.
Hmm tough question… Maybe because they are not the same company, are not managed by the same people, and do not have the same business model? Just a guess…
There's surivivership bias built into this sort of analysis: If a repair costs more than the residual value of the car (e.g., like a battery pack or electric motor) or if it's impossible to get replacement parts, then it won't be reported as a cost since the work isn't done.

""The oldest one I've seen is Transit 5B-5. And it launched in 1965," he says, referring to a nuclear-powered U.S. Navy navigation satellite that still circles the Earth in a polar orbit, long forgotten by all but a few amateurs interested in hearing it "sing" as it passes overhead."
Not entirely moot. If Musk could demonstrate that the 5% number was actually a fraud (that is, not just wrong, but people were lying about it) and show that the true number is so different that it would cause a material adverse effect, then he’d have an argument to escape the contract even with the DD waiver.

I don’t think he has a shot in hell at demonstrating fraud, given the various disclaimers around the quoted figure.

And, if he’s saying the real number is 10%, he just doesn’t have close to a shot at reaching the material adverse effect bar (which lawyers have told me is a very high bar in Delaware courts).

So, on the narrow path that he can navigate after signing away his soul and due diligence waivers, he’s still totally hosed.

He really shouldn’t have signed that contract.

Kurzweil was right about breakthrough technologies. They come in slow and people get used to them fast.
"Twitter also ties mDAU goals to executive compensation. In 2020 Twitter based its executives’ cash bonus pool on revenue, operating income, and adjusted EBITDA. After Twitter missed those targets in 2020, and only 32% of the cash bonus pool was funded, Twitter determined that mDAU (a highly manipulable number) should be considered in determining whether executives received these bonuses. Following that change, in 2021, 100% of this executive bonus pool was funded. And since Twitter’s adoption of mDAU over MAU, it has reported ten straight quarters of “growth” despite stagnant financial results"

There is also this claim. Not sure why we should Twitter executives benefit of the doubt when they literally tweak metrics to get more money for themselves.
