That's a possibility, yes. My gut-feeling is that he believes whatever is profitable for him.

Two years ago he wanted his factories to continue producing cars and didn't see the virus as good enough reason to stop, now he seems it see it as enough of a reason to not appear on a disposition, after apparently having been infected twice already.

You can also constantly find pictures and videos of him being around people etc. Musk said that the interviewing attorney had contact with an infected person 4 days prior. Yet, this attorney tested negative multiple times.

So why is a disposition suddenly an issue?

Probably because he doesn't want to attend it, or rather, wants as much time as possible to prepare with his lawyers.

That's just my speculation, of course.
> Like, who is coming out of this deal happy?

TWTR shareholders are being paid $54.20 per share for a company worth probably only $30/share (maybe less, now that Elon spent months trash talking the deal)

TWTR shareholders are going to be throwing parties all around the country with a big windfall. I know a bunch of online people who also put option plays on this.
Because it’s not a break up fee.

He can’t just say “I’m out, here’s a billion dollars for your trouble.” Twitter can (and did) sue for specific performance (forcing Musk to close the sale). If the court decides to award monetary damages instead of specific performance that’s capped to $1B but it’s not a simple break up fee.

Also most of the purchase will be Musks money too. Financially he’s much better off paying $1B than buying Twitter at the contract price today.
The DIY ethos I found in my local music scene similarly drew me to the value system of OSS.

Though, maybe DIY is a bit of a misnomer. I had a friend that booked shows. He always insisted on saying "DIT" - do it together. I think this makes it more explicit, whether it's a bunch of people chipping in on setting up a show, a bunch of people sharing their tapes, or a bunch of people committing to an OSS project...
It is if you don’t have access to the conveyor. Otherwise, you’d be liable for documents lost due to acts of God. He can still be in trouble if they can prove he used signal specifically to avoid disclosures during discovery.
The article describes strategies to help when developing in weird languages. But they're helpful ideas for other contexts, too. When working with external systems or unfamiliar configuration formats, the same forces are at play.

For instance, TFA suggests sitting down with a pot of coffee to read the language docs sequentially (they were written by a hermit). This is also a great way to try to familiarize yourself with a mystery system.

The author recommends paying attention to building your workflow, since you'll be figuring things out as you go and the cost of forgetting details is high. I've found the same to be the case when working on integrating unfamiliar systems: early investments in automation and testing pays dividends.

If like me you're wondering how a problem can be "wicked" and scoured the summary with a growing sense of futility: it turns out to be a term in social planning that means a problem that's difficult or impossible because of incomplete, contradictory, and changing requirements.

Not a fan of cloud desktops or any "virtualized" desktop. Experience is typically subpar and the worst part is that it requires a stable internet connection. What's the point of that when many of us are working remote and mobile?
There have been a few other recommendations over the years, including putting a separate tier of forwarders first in line to perform transforms and such. There were always plenty of options for on-prem/DIY/Enterprise especially when using syslog instead of directly via HEC.

Their SaaS offering used to have said inline tier called IDM (Inputs Data Manager) where we were directed to configure filters during our POC… a key requirement for moving from Enterprise to SaaS because conf files aren’t managed the same. One month (to the day!) after we moved, they randomly decided to migrate us to a new “Victoria experience” where that tier suddenly disappeared without explanation. We filed support tickets asking 1) what happened? and 2) how do we filter things out now? and were directed to hire professional services because that was outside the scope of standard support!

The whole point of moving to SaaS was to not have to babysit our own clusters (small shop at the time), so spinning up a ton of infra in front of the freshly greenlit SaaS setup would have negated the productivity gains and financial pivot.

Ultimately, the entropy of hundreds of applications logging in disparate formats and namespaces outweighed our ability to sanitize each app within a reasonable amount of time, leading to unwanted data being indexed, ergo overages. Overages that our sales engineer originally assured us we could address by filtering things out with the snap of a finger. Bait and switch.

Ingest Actions were not available at the time, and were not functional (even in beta) until 10 months later.
> This is a classic example of a Motte-and-Bailey argument.

I think this is a classic "you dont know what genocide actually means" argument.

> Everyone knows what "genocide" means. It means an attempt to murder an entire group of people. That's why the word ends in "-cide," like "homicide," "suicide," "regicide," "fratricide" and other words that have to do with killing. When you say that Russia is committing genocide, everyone thinks you're saying that Russia is attempting to kill every single person in Ukraine. That's what the word means in the English language, as understood by the gobal community of native speakers.

But thats not what the word _actually_ means, people using a world incorrectly does not change its _actual_ meaning.

> The people using the word "genocide" are doing so precisely because the word has such a strong connotation. They want people to make the connection to the Holocaust, Rwanda, and other cases of mass murder of an entire people. However, that comparison is obviously absurd, because Russia isn't trying to wipe out the Ukrainian population.

People use the word genocide because thats exactly what Russia is committing, its a heinous act and hard to face, just like raping and torturing children, but Russia is doing all of these things in Ukraine.
>I use JVM, .NET, Web and C++, not caring if the runtimes are bare metal or running on top of an OS, type 1 hypervisor, or whatever.

If you're downloading a JVM binary, you're missing out on the build step. It's C dependent, friend. How do you think that VM interfaces with the OS? Go on. Try it. ldd the java executable.

It's libc all the way down. C itself is a sort of "VM" specification utilized to create the tools to run the tools to build the tools that make other high level languages possible.

Unless you create something entirely custom in platform specific assembly, you're running on C at some level.
A very real possibility is that the scramble in the power vacuum causes the break up of the Russian Federation into many nuclear armed states.
That's an easier position to take if you aren't one of the people who'd suffer worse religious persecution in a state unconstrained by the constitution. I would still be fighting against those deep-rooted cultural patterns, but I would be overrun quickly without support from enforcement of the 1st and 14th Amendments. State equivalents would be quickly discarded.

Ask HN: Is someone accessing my private Google Calendar?
Hi HN, I hope one of the readers here has an answer for me.

I was just in my google calendar's settings and saw that under "Share with specific people", my mom is listed, with her email address. I vividly remember seeing this a few months ago and hectically removing her, but now apparently she is back (I don't share my calendar with anyone else).

I clicked on the X to remove her and got the confirmation "Sharing Settings saved". However, after refreshing the site, her email is back in the "list" (it's just her because I don't share my calendar with anyone)!

Is there any way I can ensure my mom doesn't have access to all my private calendar events?
I intend to create a new calendar and move my events to that calendar, but perhaps there is an easier way?
> I don't think the act of buying a lottery ticket would give me anywhere near the same amount of pleasure as...

...my once-a-year flutter on the Grand National. Having skin in the game multiplies the excitement of this horse-race, which is already one of the most exciting races there is.

Making selections on a lottery ticket, or rubbing stuff off a scratch-card somehow doesn't have the same appeal; and doesn't give you nearly nearly 10 minutes of fun.

Automated Map Searches, Scam-Busting Tools: Bellingcat's Second Hackathon

I would also like to know this. I'm interested in doing fintech development... but there's no amount of money someone could pay me to use a consistently laggy environment. This thread is making it sound like it's commonplace.
No. The main motivation behind Ubuntu (and its predecessors Knoppix, Mepis, UserLinux) was realizing that a knowledgeable person could get a nice, easy to use Debian desktop in a couple of hours and then let it in the hands of less knowledgeable persons. It was hard to install.

On the other hand, you could boot a perfectly workable system from a live CD (Knoppix) but it was hard to install.

So the motivation was: could we get the best of both worlds? Easy to launch/install and easy to use maintain once installed? This was also more or less coordinated with a huge shift in GNOME development where UX became the main goal and development switched to a 6 months based schedule.

Detecting hardware was part of what was hard with Debian but was not seen the most important part. Having a nice coherent desktop at first boot was the goal.

I feel this so much.

Show HN: Embedded dashboard builder – Give users in-app self service analytics
My main professionnal OS in a Linux booting up from an nvme drive with an usb3 case adapter. The pro laptop I have been given only has a screen resolution of 1366x768 and 16GB of ram. I don't mind too much when using it as a desktop because I have 2 fullhd 24" screens but if I plan to be more mobile and work on one screen, or if I need lots of memory to boot containers and VMS I boot it on my personnal Lenovo. I also boot it sometimes on a desktop in my office while I boot the original windows installation of the pro laptop updating itself and not be forgotten.

I use adhesive velcros so that the drive is secured on the backside of the screen and don't hang from the laptop.
Looking forward to trying this tool
Those numbers are easily found but you also have to ask the same questions about waste produced by manufacturing renewables.

This also requires access to a stable fast network at all times. Local internet goes down, AWS/AZURE/GCP goes down and I'm stuck. With my laptop setup, I can work anywhere anytime, as long as I have power. I'll need network access at some point to commit code or pick up changed libraries, but that can be managed.

The details are hazy, and our paths don't cross any more, so I can't say for sure. Yes, overnights were still done in some cases, but they were able to do more 'in day' smaller renders (IIRC) that was making it worthwhile.

IIRC... she done some consulting work for a particular firm, and they were investigating cloud stuff. When they chose that vendor, she saw how much of an impact that was making, and contacted the cloud vendor and became a salesperson/evangelist.

You were on a MacBook. They were all in the Windows/MS world, so perhaps there was something about that software that just was 'better on windows in the cloud'. Again, sorry I can't remember too many more details. I do suspect times have changed some, so the ROI may not be there any longer (and maybe wasn't there at the time for many folks).
That’s never been true in my decade of employment. You just have to avoid working for companies/people with no ethic. I personally always avoid American companies for exemple because, well to put it frankly, American employment culture is trash.
> I mean there's a $1B break-up fee in the contract. I don't know why he doesn't just pay that and end the fiasco...

People keep repeating this wildly untrue thing as if it is fact. The merger contract is a public document. Show us where it says he can just pay $1B and walk away if he changes his mind.
They justify it very simply. They follow the laws of the countries they operate in.

If the US turned into a repressive single-party state that only held sham elections, Twitter would follow it's laws, too, whatever they would be.
It's even more complicated than that though: "dishonest discussion tactics" suggests that the person is doing it with fully conscious awareness and intent, but this is far from a safe assumption - and, it isn't a simple binary "is or is not", and it isn't only the usual suspects who commit this technique.
One thing I'm considering is getting my kid a laptop when they start asking for a smartphone. They'll be able to engage socially for the most part, but it won't have the "with you every moment of every day" problem. And instead of a device that's mainly geared towards consumption, they'll at least have tool that's designed to to empower its user.

And it will run Linux! No kid of mine will grow up thinking proprietary software is normal! The source is yours to command!
It's quite possible these people charging into these wicked problems don't understand they are charging into a wicked problem.

Nearly every problem involving people or the environment is going to become a wicked problem. The problem space is just so big and you can't really test at the scale you'll have to implement on.

And it's hard to know what works and what doesn't. Because sometimes things can get better due to something else and your solution just happened to be implemented while that was happening. And it's not like you can isolate either.

Essentially, you're always testing in production.

Producers (and all clients) can only see and interact with the gateway worker. DOs aren’t accessible from the outside world, and all communication with them happens through the gateway worker. In the case of DO failure, it’s the gateway worker’s job to reconnect with the failed DO. Depending on the nature of the failure, this reconnection request might be routed to a DO instance located on a different machine from the original, failed instance (in which case a leadership change happened internally). From the client perspective, nothing changes, and it can keep using the same gateway worker connection as before.

Regarding 0.8, that’s right, I wanted to start with something as simple as possible. This project wasn’t intended for serious, practical usage, so spending time on extra features added in later versions didn’t seem useful. I’d imagine that newer protocol versions could be implemented without too much difficulty, but whether this thing is fast enough to ever be practical is another larger question.
This is an example of what your customer’s end-user could create and edit with our new embedded dashboard builder - Architect.

We built this to help with two primary challenges:

1. Your customer’s end-users should be able to access data and customize dashboards on their own, whenever they need to. Most companies don’t have the resources to build in-app analytics experiences like Stripe or Hubspot.

2. An embedded analytics solution (or dashboard) should feel like it's part of your app, and not a different tool nor UX - every dashboard, font, color is customizable to match your branding

If true, this is a huge condemnation of Musk. If he's changed his mind but has done nothing to protect his employees he's basically saying he's worried about his own exposure to COVID but DGAF about anyone else.
