It feels very unusual for a CEO to comment on the circumstances of an exec's departure like this. It's hard to take away a message that isn't "we're trying to discredit this man" - which is a logical objective, but it feels far more transparent than what I have come to expert.
Parent comment was basically “removed to force people to wireless” - I disagreed.

That’s all said I do still wish the iPhone had a 3.5mm Jack, or heck even 2.5mm would be fine as the dac on the iPhone is better then most you’ll find in a usb-c dongle.
That was a specific type of quick release which, when not tightened properly, could open far enough that the lever arm could interfere with the brake rotor. It's about a single type of quick release, not the use of 9mm axle quick releases in general.
>The 1990s were expensive and awkward.

Wholly agree. Developing an application to be deployed to 100-200 users using a desktop client-server model easily ran into the thousands (tens of thousands today) and made one think very hard about which platforms were used.

Hard choices had to be made simply because you couldn't afford the cost of entry.
Alexa Rank Still Alive Despite Shutting Down
Ask HN: What do you call your computer friend?
If you use your computer friend's name in conversation, they will respond as if you were talking to them. E.g. "I think Alexa needs an upgrade" will provoke Alexa to answer something like "I don't understand"

I need a way to avoid this awkwardness. Perhaps another name to use for reference in the third person? "Digital friend"? "A-wad"? "Our digital overlord"?

Have you tried one? Last time my wife went in there for a broken back, she was told to sit in a chair at 10PM and to wait until 8AM for the doctor to come in.
That's because you didn't die.
You also don't elect the members of your national government directly (in no country that I'm aware of, EU or otherwise, not even Switzerland). You're electing members of parliament and/or a president, who will then jointly appoint members of your national government, EU commissioners and a host of other political/judicial/administrative/... positions, in sometimes complicated processes. So your democratic choices affect the EU commission just as they affect your national politics.

I'm not saying that the EU couldn't do more to strengthen direct democracy (eg the role of the European Parliament, referenda, direct election of the president of the commission...). I would actually welcome that, but suggesting that current EU politics isn't democratic is a severe misrepresentation of the facts (one that is often peddled by actors with sinister agendas).
Sure, it's a market if somebody is buying and selling.

My views aren't particularly weird and complicated. Let's see, resuming:

* Crypto has very limited applications if any outside of the financial area, and limited even there. We won't be doing general computing on blockchains, we'll be doing extremely limited subset of financial problems, if anything.

* NFTs are a mostly stupid idea.

* NFTs are not about art. They're about money. Art is an excuse and the art attached to a NFT has very little importance.

* NFTs are falling in popularity.

* Crypto and NFT markets are chaotic, full of scams, money laundering and wash trading and in general not worth getting into.

* Pretty much nobody buys NFTs for the art value.

Yeah, there's going to be an exception here and there. But I don't for a second believe that paying a million to claim ownership of a quite banal animation is something that shows art appreciation. I think it's far more likely that account A wanted to transfer $1M to account B.

And geez, why do it on NFT sites if you're in for the art? Buy something from an artist on DeviantArt or FurAffinity or something. You can get amazing art for not very much money at all.

Then get proper inhumane punishment as a deterrent? You cannot have tech that enables harmful content and refuse to all measures to deter harmful content. What people invested in children? Some guy in the backwoods of nowhere takes abusive pictures who will know other than tech companies? Delete the content so it doesn't spread in the mean time the child gets no help? Is that your answer? I don't want them to spy on our private content, in every scenario other than this one I agree with you 100% i am very much against government and corporate surveillance and support e2e but, mine and your right to privacy does not supersede the rights of the most innocent and defenseless members of society to be safe and protected from harm. You want to keep privacy then join me in supporting inhumane punishment for child predators. The deterrent aspect of unthinkably horrible punishment is enough to say there is no need for drastic measures like spying on everyone's pictures. You can't have it both ways.
For server and system code, Swift is mostly competing with Rust and Go, as people consider fast, compiled, type safe languages. If you look at Docker downloads, Swift has 10M, Rust has 50M, and Go has 1B+.

Compared to Go, yeah, it's nowhere close. But compared to Rust, I wouldn't quite call it a bust, and could see teams choosing it for the easier learning curve.

So yeah, it's a relatively small niche at this point, but I also think it's fair to say the effort to make Swift a contender on the server has been more than just iOS developers being forced to make web apps.
This is exactly what we (my family and me) do. We don't currently own a car and don't plan on buying one but instead use our Babboe Big-E as mentioned. If we - on some rare occasion - require a car/van I can rent one rather cheaply from the local car sharing initiative, called StattAuto.

I agree. I grant It’s possible Mudge is

A) an old hand and doesn’t know how to run a security program with the tech today

B) a strong tech hire who can’t lead a program.

But Mudge is still… Mudge, and he’s also proven his ability to collaborate so if he was a bull in a china shop a twitter, that would be surprising.

There’s also a broader trend here of well known security leads that originate from that time working at social media and leaving quickly, like Alex Stamos, who also u-turned out of Facebook.

So are the odds higher that Mudge did a bad job, or this set of companies are not great internally and old guard security leads are pointing it out? The twitter CEO letter framing him as a bad employee doesn’t address this context.

I see a huge VR market in misguided companies with too much money to burn on "team building" projects who see VR as a good way to extend middle management BS to WFH employees. Likely subsidized by MetaFacebook desperately pushing their crappy VR projects to keep them on life support.

As far as I can tell, we have a lot of progress to make with display resolution and GPU quality before VR becomes competitive for work environments with a modern hiDPI dual display setup. Maybe it's more appealing to folks with crappy home desk setups, or people who live in cities who don't want a full desk? Ergonomics still feels like an obstacle, though.

The load times and performance for applets were all pretty dismal, and given that about half of them were a site logo with moving waves at the bottom, not so missed. That said, I have a Number Theory textbook which uses computer-assisted explorations (e.g., get lists of pythagorean triples, factor a bunch of large numbers, etc.) and the most accessible version of those was through a set of applets which are challenging to run now (it also has Maple and Mathematica versions of the explorations).
The article claims that Tate has been glorifying violence against women for years though, so that wouldn't explain why the ban would happen now.
I usually rename them manually, with Unix-y filenames that start with the last/company name of the author (e.g., `adobe-postscript-language-reference-manual.pdf`, `blandy-programming-rust-1e-early.epub`).

In a company, I put relevant ones in a Git repo, or sometimes in a wiki. (In any case, the company/engineering wiki will probably reference them, and code in the Git repo might as well.)

For non-public documents, I track the provenance of each. In a company Git repo, usually in `README.md`, or maybe `<name-of-the-doc-file>.README.md`. And you have to be clear whether something was received under NDA or other restrictions, which can restrict sharing, quoting, facts, or even who within the organization is allowed to look at it.

For paid docs I personally own, I'm currently experimenting with inventorying all my paid digital content (books, videos, games) in GnuCash (especially since the payment transactions will be there). (I'm still slightly uncomfortable with, say, a $50 `.pdf` just sitting in my homedir, without indication that it's not public and shareable.)
I have one of these bikes, and the mechanical disc brakes do not outpace the motor. They provide adequate (even snappy) stopping power in every condition I've tested them in.

> Apperantly he started the whistleblowing process before any Musk involvement with twitter.

According to his lawyer as reported by someone on Twitter. IIRC, lawyers make statements that guilty clients are innocent all the time.

If he was working with Musk help him wiggle out of the Twitter deal, it would fatally undermine the goal for to come out publicly about the relationship. I'm skeptical unless they can provide verifiable 3rd party evidence (e.g. some document filed before the deal).

Things About Anger Your Boss Wants to Know
Anger is a common societal problem. Road rage, children bullying their peers, parents berating umpires at children’s events -- there is no end to the stories that make the news. Anger in the workplace is also a fact of life -- and one that is becoming more commonplace. Dealing with angry employees is a challenging task and must be handled with care.

This isn't a collapse of emergency healthcare, it's a very predicted collapse of community social care: hospitals can't discharge if they need a care home place that doesn't exist.

Without inpatient bed availability, ERs and AMUs can't admit to specialties and everything gums up at the front door.

Let's be clear: we do need many more doctors and nurses, but the existing ones can't do their jobs because their wards have turned into medically-fit nursing homes. They spend half their days trying to send people (who don't have care requirements) home faster than they'd like.

Why? Because central government withdrew funding. Social care is now on the council to fund and many councils have squashed social care, along with libraries and early years provisions. The trap of outsourcing caught many councils out.

Turns out the whole endeavour was yet more myopic, Tory penny-pinching.

> While we are at it, what do you think of current visa issue in the USA? For a long time, I thought it was difficult only to people of Asian countries to migrate to US, but turns out it is equally difficult for any other nations.

I suffered the consequences of the ongoing visa mayhem myself, losing my job in early 2022. Luckily, I received my green card soon afterwards.

The US immigration policies, especially for work and talent related visas, are incredibly disconnected from reality. There is still no mechanism in place to curb the abuse by IT consultancy companies, aka "visa mills". Instead, we have brilliant people rejected because of their nationality, not their achievements. Even worse, people with 5, 10, 15 years in the country, high earners and taxpayers, may see themselves kicked out because bureaucracy is just slow.

> Of course, there are a lot of talent and there is always someone willing to move to US. So it shouldn't be an issue, should it?

It is. At some point, money won't justify the looming feeling of insecurity, and people will be less willing to leave their home countries and come to the US.

Even now, immigrating to the US is prohibitively expensive. The talent pool is being reduced to those who can either afford it, or are sponsored by their companies, and this doesn't guarantee that the best and brightest are the ones arriving anyway.

As others have said, being head of security is meaningless if the people in charge of actually making changes refuse to make the changes you prescribe.

I've been in that situation at a previous job. The infrastructure for our service was set up so that EC2 instances would start up and pull their code from a central repo. But this repo was open to the world and did not require authentication. It was only a matter of time before some malicious user discovered this and our proprietary server code got leaked.

It took weeks of hounding and escalating until something changed, and at first all they did was change the security groups to limit where you could connect from, and even the first patch merely limited it to a few /8 and /16 CIDRs that covered massive swaths of AWS-owned IPs. They still didn't require authentication.
Yeah they like the nice house they like the maintenance crew they like the gardening they like the cleaning, they call this "the help" in many cases. Say "We're accustomed to the help.". No idea what their names are. When I met those people I'd learn their names (I still remember a few, "Rigoberto" was a gardener in Atherton), I remember tipped them Coronas once, for after they got home, they cleared something out for the hacker house just to help us out...what else...well it's different for me because growing up overseas, in Chile, basically means talking to "nanas" (Kechwa meaning "older sister", consultora de hogar or housemaid or babysitter, mixed responsibilities) all day long. Learn to talk from them, a lot of my Spanish comes from them.

But yeah they want all these nice things but...they can't swing it legit, like yeah the top brass of a town's bank can have all this, but a middle-class family? So they find work-arounds.
I don't think your comparison is apt. Mudge isn't some loose cannon. He worked for the US government as a program manager for DARPA from 2010-2013, then for Google from 2013-2020. You think he looks "corporate" now, just look at his government portrait on his Wikipedia page from a decade ago.

Point being, Mudge is a very well respected cyber security professional, not some "hippy hacker" from years past. Which makes me even more willing to give his accusations weight, because this is not a case of someone who doesn't "get" corporate environments.

But you get cash from selling your car even without the government subsidy,

If "France is now offering a €4k e-bike subsidy" is 96% the cash they got from selling their car, then it's a strange turn of phrase. It's more like "the secondhand car market is offering a €4k everything-subsidy if you give up your car"!
It's not his responsibility if someone with more power is sabotaging his work. He tried to do his work, realized it was not possible, and escalated to a higher authority. A bit unusual, but technically a way to maybe solve the problem and still do the job at the end.

> ...since India is like 5-10 years behind USA in the tech space

The fact that the tech scene in the West (which is the place where most things happen) is white-male dominated and likely outranks Indians by a factor of 10x (?), which means, as a group, they're likely to accomplish 10x in a lot of metrics.

Also, India is roughly 5x / 10x behind the US in tech salaries too (amidst high inflation and weakening currency), resulting in the infamous brain drain to the West (where they then make things happen, if they catch a break).
While I'm sure Twitter and every social network internal politics suck and are full of sleazy people who hold themselves in very high regard, these accusations seem weak.
