To me that part is pretty weak compared to the security disclosures. The "lie" is about whether or not Twitter executives are incentivized to delete bots (later on he says that Twitter is incentivized to keep bots out of mDAU because they don't click on ads so they'd tank the clickthrough rate, kind of blows a whole in Elon Musk's whole thing). In reality I'm sure there are multiple overlapping and contradictory incentives at play, but it's not really a falsifiable statement so not really something you can "lie" about.

The way it's framed ("Twitter lied to Elon Musk about bots") makes me suspicious of the whistleblowers' motives here. I know he's some kind of legend around these parts but I've never heard of him, so I'm just going by what I've learned today. Seems like propaganda to me, intended to maximally damage twitter and/or curry favor with Musk.
depending on alcohol for team building sounds like the worst idea ever.

i don't want to be friends with people if their ability to develop friendship depends on alcohol. actually, i find it deceptive. i want to be friends with the real person. not the drunk person. it's dishonest. it's telling me that this person doesn't actually like me, and it's only the alcohol that makes them friendly. for an introvert who already has difficulty trusting people and making friends, this makes it worse, because it's a friendship that can't be trusted.

as for alternatives for team building. there are plenty of activities that are welcoming. board games for example. popular in europe. good for introverts too because you can focus on the game and you are not forced participate in random discussion topics that you can't contribute to. among tech people a fun-hackathon. otherwise food always works. picnic or bbq was always popular when it happened at tech conferences.
That would be cool to see, actually reminds me of the cdecl explain project [1].

If multi star system civilizations are even possible, chances are we'd get enslaved or erased before we could even make sense of the threat.
They even allow you to add something called a "headphone jack"! Isn't that hilarious? What an antiquated absurdity! A rotary dial makes more sense on a phone these days.
Governments are surely exactly the place most super-long-term projects have to happen (and typically have happened). It's pretty hard for a corporation to convince shareholders to invest in something that won't pay dividends for 15-20 years.
Religious organizations building cathedrals is probably a rare example of it happening below the state-level (it's hard to imagine without belief in higher powers or an afterlife etc. why many people would thoroughly commit themselves to a project they won't see completed in their lifetimes).
Except the problem isn't investors buying property.

Investors are buying up property for rental because it is profitable because there is huge demand for it because a lot of people simply are unable to own their own house and that is because housing is getting expensive faster than salaries.

The problem is government tied in stupid games while important problems like encouraging new, more affordable housing is set aside as some kind of communist agenda. A house does not need to cost the equivalent of your entire life's savings.

Also government sleeping on the job not including useful knowledge in school curriculum -- like basics of personal finances and economics.

Doesn't that make his point stronger? If you are well connected, rich, and went to an elite college, it would make even more sense for the US to give you the visa.
I just stay away from HP junk. Life is too short.
I might imagine a pipeline where a full photograph blob is downloaded and decrypted on your device, normalized, run through something like image2vec + ocr + metadata extraction, and the result stored in an index. At that point, of course, you could garbage collect the original blob - at least until your app releases an major update version requiring a reindexing of blobs.
Maybe the ordinary torpedo with a warhead is too large and visible on radar. The drone torpedo could be much smaller, maybe the size of a common fish in the area. Maybe you have a bunch of them herded together traveling under water in the same manner as a school of fish might appear on radar.

This sounds awful to me. Why wouldn't it be separate functions? I absolutely would not want that at all as an end user, I'd find it confusing and frustrating.
I really enjoy "Ginseng Up!" brand ginger brew... one of the best ginger ales I've found. They offer several different styles but the Ginger Brew is the best imo. Lots of ginger floating around in it.

I actually just love it on a hot afternoon, great stuff, wish more places around here carried it.
Having worked extensively with Python, Ruby, TypeScript, Go, and Rust at various times, I definitely feel most productive in Rust. It's also the language I've spent the most time with, though, so there's a bit of bias there.

Part of why I'm so productive, I think, is that I trust the type system to "catch me"; I make a change in the most obvious way I can think of, and then see what the downstream effects are by looking at which callsites and expressions I've broken, according to the compiler. I don't have to think through every implication of every change, so my brainpower is saved for more complex things like reasoning about async control flow or thinking about performance.

That's not what's dangerous.

Instead, dangerous things include manipulating the algorithms so that "news" of ones choice get lots of visibility. Then a foreign state can influence the elections
> it's people accurately recognizing that their home is the biggest purchase they will ever make in their life, it's almost completely done with debt, and most don't want to end up underwater.

What is those people's second biggest purchase which is also usually done with debt? Does anyone believe that the government should enact policies to ensure that car prices always increase so they would be a better investment? Houses obviously have a longer lifespan than cars, so I'm not suggesting they should necessarily depreciate the same way, but there is also no reason housing should always be appreciating.

We have this idea that the price you sell your home for should always be higher than the price you bought it for. There is no reason for us to preserve that idea beyond the fact that people have now internalized that idea and plan their financial lives around it. The longer we allow that to continue, the harder it becomes to change, but the idea itself is not some fundamental requirement of society.
A retrospective, observational (IE, after the fact data analysis from a population without controls) study found a risk factor (association). That's not enough to make any real conclusions as to whether this is causal.
When I first heard the term "thought leader" I thought it was purely in jest. It seems so ridiculous and full of hubris that I'm amazed people can use it in serious conversations.
How could it not be cheaper- H1B applicants have to perform their jobs virtually under threat of deportation. How are they negotiating for regular raises or stock refreshers in that situation? How often are they changing jobs due to poor working conditions or personal growth if their sponsorship could be jeopardized?
Lol thanks for caring. But I was raised a Christian and growing up to see the Hubble Deep Field and all advances of cosmology and realize we're likely not on some sort of divinely ordained trial for our souls but just existing for a bit and then gone has been a great realization for me.

Yeah but you're writing libraries in Javascript, that ship has sailed already. You're gonna just need a bit fat switch statement to check your input types on every public function you ever write.
I have found *kwargs useful for wrapper functions, where you pass kwargs to some other, later defined, function.
In Capital and Ideology, Piketty does a review of modern democracies, there's a two party system of left and right in every one except Poland where there was at the time of writing a far right and right wing party competing for dominance. Conservative parties typically rely on rural voting bloc, less educated and much older people, it's almost universal somehow, that doesn't make their opinion wrong off the bat, it's just demographics of voting. There's also actually a component of "harming these people I disagree with" that drives the vote for reactionary groups and is an active part of Murdoch sponsored media, there's not really a thoughtful process about how it could harm themselves.

For example, there was the irony of multiple cases of people voting for Trump because immigrants are bad, and then having their spouse deported for some visa violation. Or one can look at the people who have opposition to abortion voting for Republicans. Then someone who cannot consent is raped or someone has a non viable pregnancy and neither is eligible for an abortion, which has happened since Roe v Wade was re decided. In the USA, the Senate is decidedly unrepresentative of the people of the United States as a whole, the House less so with the limit to 435 members, but not as bad in some ways.

You can also look to Brexit post vote interviews where people who voted in favor of it said they didn't care if it hurt the UK, they wanted it to happen.

An older example in the USA, the Reagan administration characterized AIDs as the "gay plague" and played down the effects and had no official response to the health crisis other than to joke about it, delaying an effective national strategy. Today there is still a gay faction of the the GOP called the Log Cabin Republicans that is barred from some party events but still back the GOP, Peter Thiel has become a big GOP backer in spite of most state party platforms calling gay people abnormal and most subsequent federal GOP administrations sending and supporting people in Africa to criminalize gay sex.
This should be illegal. Plain and simple.

Just make it illegal for a corporation to own residential property. Or heck, even just make it illegal for one to own > 5 properties or some number of acreage. That would put a damper on this shit.
What I said is that I call bullshit on his 5 points. None of them are valid and they are just opinions of a developer who hasn't put the effort in and isn't providing concrete examples of what is actually wrong. I actually find it difficult to understand why this is even on the front page of HN, maybe it is a slow news day?

I feel that my point is proven with a successful multiple year open source Typescript library.

I missed the most basic part of my pitch.

Language learning is a 30 billion dollar market, with DuoLingo and Quizlet representing the first billion dollar companies in a market with no clear leader, and I think Parsnip could become the leader for language learning apps.

I use Parsnip for all of my own reading and I'm doing my best to get it into users' hands as soon as possible. You learn what you need to read books, articles, or web pages in ~30% of the time compared to immersion only, and you learn vocabulary at least 6 times faster than flashcards using spaced repetition (SRS).

As you can see by the passionate and detailed responses on this thread there is significant user interest.
My gut feeling is to create a separate key for signing but I’m not sure why. Is there downside to using the same SSH key for both signing and login?
What makes them good reasons? Plenty of things are real without being good.

There is no ethical framework in which "I don't want to live next to the poors" is an ethical sentiment - even though it is understandable in some ways. Well, maybe in Objectivism, or "Fuck You, Got Mine". Though even an Objectivist would be hard pressed to argue against someone else's right to build whatever they want on their own property.
The examples I list look just like me: white, male, and a little on the scraggly side. And at least one household member in each example works at Microsoft. So I am a loss at what you're driving at in reference to class.

We know how people treat rental cars. I don't know why it's a big shock that people will treat rental properties in the same manner, and why other folks would rather not live next to that. Blame race and class if you like, but to not allow at least a little more nuance to the discussion is silly.

I think that's a part of it, but I think a bigger deal part that, when the media and political establishment saw he was electable, they also saw him as a real threat, and so they made a much more concerted effort to damage him before the next election.

That's why you got stuff like his face getting greenscreened onto a clip of voldemort on the BBC.

One thing that people underestimate is just how far to the right of the general population the media and political class is. They tend to be private school dominated, overwhelmingly drawn from southern england, and personally wealthy.
You can't avoid change. You have to pick what kind of change you want. This graphic sums it up pretty well:

What your friend has observed is what happens when you keep it bottled up for years and years.

Instead of gradually moving to 4-plexes and 3 story apartments and narrow townhomes, when all that demand finally gets unleashed, it's a larger change.

Change can be disturbing, so we should aim for more frequent gradual changes than 'quantum leap' type stuff. That said, at least your friend has options in that their land is probably worth a ton of money now and they do have the possibility to get out and go somewhere more to their liking.

Tons of people in high cost cities like Seattle have no home at all due to housing costs.
Simple answer: no. Apart from Android that is. Non-specialized Linux will never be supported by manufacturers because there's simply no economic incentive to do so.
Van life isn’t a scalable alternative to permanent housing. The reasons for this are many. One of the obvious ones is that if a wealthy investor class can buy up houses and extract rent they can certainly buy up vans and extract rent. So it isn’t even resistant to the very problem you suggest it can solve.

Take a look at how much a 1980s VW Westfalia is these days. It’s as absurd as house prices.

It's never too late to stop making bad designs. I've written plenty of (internal) libraries and if someone asked me to put in a big fat switch statement I'd ask them why they need it.
> Typescript is the correct solution. What is the alternative? Just using JS and letting things break without knowing it? Come on.

Surely that's not the only alternative.

Here's a few off the top of my head:

- Being able to write complex types in a syntax that more closely resembles JavaScript. Using Array length for counting or nested ternaries for if logic gets old fast.

- Being able to debug types, not console output, a real debugger. See: https://twitter.com/MarcJSchmidt/status/1539787500788613120

- More comprehensive documentation on writing advanced types

- A typescript specification

I'm not complaining, of course. It's just an observation. Snowflake is very similar to Oracle in that respect, which is not surprising given where the founders came from.

Personally I think Snowflake is very impressive on the things they optimize for, which includes complex queries on enterprise data sources. The same could be said for BigQuery.

This is nice. Couple of days ago I published 80 pages work describing my experience installing FreeBSD on Lenovo Ideapad 3 Gaming laptop and making it to work.

In the long run that would be a good thing. It would be an object lesson that investors shouldn't believe anything they read on social media.

Investors always have the option to ignore rumors.
> In the audio synthesis world it's well understood that the more a manufacturer emphasizes unlimited creativity, massive patch storage, infinite potential etc., the less good the UI and the more basic the default quality of the sound engine. You can make it do anything, but unless you already have a very specific goals you will spend most of the time reinventing wheels in parameter space.

Nicely illustrated by reductio ad absurdum: a "naked" Epyc with a few sticks of RAM, an NVMe and a pair of A/D in the upper kHz range would score quite well in "unlimited creativity, massive patch storage, infinite potential etc", but you'd spend quite some time reinventing wheels (e.g. this gets less bad if you add a compiler).
Hey. Thanks for the question. It come from the households paying money for the solar panels every month rather the electricity. They pay for 2 years and then they own the solar panels.

The average home in Port Loko can afford it as long as there's a member of the household with stable income (e.g. Farmer, police officer, teacher). We run this through a partnership with Ignite Power who has over 4K solar panels installed across villages in Sierra Leone and over 100K across Africa. The pricing and payback period has been optimized to make it affordable for rural residents in Sierra Leone. Currently their default rate is less than 2% and the return is based on Ignite Power's pricing model.

It’s real. Part of it is teens being judgy because teenagers do that. her bubbles are green because she’s poor and her parents can’t afford an iphone etc.

But also there is a real experience difference between iMessages and SMS and especially mixed group chats. Social people -even adults- who have lots of group chats via default messaging inadvertently punish android users for using SMS and that worse experience is represented in green. It’s just a symbol for that worse experience.

In fact, it’s getting worse not better. I have every messaging app imaginable on my iPhone (because it’s just an app why not). If I group chat mixed iPhone and android - I get the expected bad experience. But a lot of android users have now set up Signal to be their SMS app. So my iPhone will mix SMS iMessage going out, only for an android user to mix SMS signal messages coming back. So now the conversation is smeared across three apps and ruined.

Hence why I just install every app. So i can increase the odds of finding an alternative common ground.

PS. Everyone blames the android guy not the iPhone guy. “Stop being poor” or whatever. People are cruel.
