Yup, doing all of those in an apartment would be...difficult. Some of them a townhome/duplex would probably handle fine though, and note that superblocks still allow residents cars, they just have to drive really slowly within the superblock, and you can't really cross through it, so you can still do things like transport heavy tables.

At this point it seems to me that a lab origin that superspreads at a market looks rather simpler than a market origin with double zoonosis and no trace of an intermediate host.
> The lab right next to the market was literally studying and experimenting with the exact same type of virus. How can a someone think that that's just a coincidence?

If they built the lab next to the viruses that were already there, then it would be reverse causation, which isn't a coincidence, but also kind of is one.

That's the meaning of "correlation is not causation".
Rust code already exclusively uses rust ports of the library. There are a couple competing ones [1][2], but I couldn't even find rust bindings for the official C library. The ecosystem has a bit of a fetish for pure rust dependencies where possible, and this vulnerability seems to vindicate that stance.

I don't think any of those are published as libraries usable by other languages, but doing that would be less than a hundred lines for defining a C interface.

> They've built a great and popular product, be content with that and run it like a real business rather than an incubator of failed ideas

The problem for social media is that something new comes along, becomes popular, and displaces incumbents if they aren’t innovating, or at least adapting rapidly to innovation in the space. If you’re milking instead of moving, you’re going to wake up as MySpace.
I'm confused, are you insinuating that Barcelona isn't real or not part of a modern capitalist society? These superblocks already exist in the city. This urban design has been around longer than the USSR.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eixample
None of this is true for somewhere like Tokyo, except for the 'harder or impossible to bring a lot of stuff on'. You could say many of the above for cars depending on the place (try driving through Jakarta for speed and reliability or many parts of India for safety).
If you're buying Twitter to maximize value as soon as possible then reducing cost to the bone and maximizing earnings would make sense. It's how many private equity funds would maximize value to sell it at the earliest point.

Musk is different. He wants to maximize value by innovation. It's very risky. I would say that Marketing and Sales are probably the most important right now. R&D is next, since Musk wants to change its course. Reducing them to the bone will probably backfire.

Reducing head count is probably imperative since it reduces cost plus new hires will have a different mindset that's in line with what Musk wants to accomplish. He'll probably replace most top management ASAP. I suspect that we'll be hearing a lot of bad news from Twitter from people that get laid off and feel it was unfair.

He'll also try to fully automate (thru AI) as he tried with robotics in Tesla - but backfired. Full automation is hard there are just too many variables. He'll see that and reverse course. I expect there will be a lot of drama coming from the company but ultimately Twitter will change course. It will be interesting.

He's making sure he has total control over the company so what ever he decides to do will be done without opposition.

People that think he will ruin the company are wrong. It will take time but the investors will get a very good return on their investment.
> To me it makes everywhere look the same and kind of boring.

You're misunderstanding what a superblock is.

The blocks in Barcelona that look the same predate superblocks. The idea of a superblock -- making an NxN grid of blocks impermeable to through car traffic, basically -- could still be done in other cities with more irregular block patterns. It would be a little more complicated, of course, but it'd still be doable.
It’s very difficult to convince a marketing behemoth that their automated systems are harmful when those automated systems’ errors drive users towards said behemoth’s own offerings.
I think you've really missed my entire point.

My point is that we should include several arguments. Pigeon holing means having a strict focus. I'm arguing that ONLY talking about turnkey tyranny is not a good argument. Let's be real, we've been having this discussion since long before Snowden. Clearly it, alone, is not effective.

So I'm not arguing to abandon the turnkey tyranny discussion, but expand our discussion to include issues beyond it.
Well, SARS-CoV-2 isn't transmissible in humans only; it survives just fine in many other mammals, including pets.

This is basically the reason we can't get rid of it. Even if we had a perfect human vaccine that blocked transmission, it wouldn't help.
> rents increase (pedestrian friendly area!). This has happened in other superblock areas near me.

This happens whenever you improve anything in a city. The solution is to make the improvements everywhere if you can. We obviously can't stop making nice things just because it makes some areas more desirable.
Microsoft's OS dominance through Windows is probably why Windows Phone is so successful, right? ;-)

Presumably Apple also leveraged the Mac's unquestioned dominance of the PC space to enable the iPhone to beat established incumbents like Nokia, Blackberry and Palm.

And Android undoubtedly became popular primarily because of Google's dominance in web search.

I can't believe government regulators let these companies get away with such things.
The only solution I see is the FTC stepping in. I don't understand why they're sitting on their hands. What Microsoft did in the 90s was pale by comparison—they just bundled some extra software. By contrast Apple today is locking down their platform and explicitly decreeing that nobody is permitted to compete with them. It's amazing how brazen it is.
There are many configurations that aren't (easily) possible with the GUI. The average user isn't going to care if they use LVM on LUKS or LUKS on LVM, but if you do, Arch makes it easy.

I personally prefer using EFISTUB instead of a bootloader, and this was very difficult to do on Ubuntu last time I tried.

A doorbell is only 2 wires -- if you pull Cat5 for future proofing, could you bind 2 or 4 of the 8 available wires to safely pull the current? Obviously, the other end can't be plugged into a network switch till it's properly wired up.

I don't have enough electrical know-how to figure out if this works...

Edit: Based on a table I found; 24 gauge wire has a resistance of about 25 ohms per foot, where as 16 gauge has a resistance of 4 ohms per foot. So; assuming each wire is a parallel resistor, 2 pairs(4 wires) would be about 6.25 ohms -- so it could heat up a bit more than proper wires. so .... maybe as long as someone doesn't hold the button down for too long?

Twitter has a support team? Not much, in my experience.

Disappointingly, apple's just-released new appletv does not appear to support AV1: https://www.apple.com/apple-tv-4k/specs/

Given that they average 2-3 years between releasing updates, that sets back AV1 a while longer.

There's a chance it'll have enough grunt for software decoding, perhaps at 1080p but not 4k (speculation).
One of the nice things about the old "nerds-only programmer's pit" style of team leadership is that it provides a refuge for people that want part of their world filtered out to get work done. Quite a bit more mandatory social engagement as an engineer these days. Lots of requesting your face.
Making cities more walkable and bikeable is cyberpunk now? Are looms and churning butter now also cyberpunk?
Maybe the wording should be ambiguous like "high crimes and misdemeanors" so manufacturers honor the intent of the law.

I would also like to be apart of the order. Automating my farm is high on my list of priorities.
Somehow I doubt that people hate the city becoming more walkable and bikeable as much as you claim. Are there polls indicating that people hate the superblocks?
The zigbee spec is freely available, I fail to see how BLE would be any more "open source".

I think it's just that every smartphone, tablet, laptop, etc now has BLE integrated, so it's easy to make a widget like a soil moisture sensor and connect it to your phone. Also, the newer LE version of bluetooth is quite power efficient so it can run for a while on a CR2032 if you take care to put the MCU in sleep mode between measurements, and whatnot.
Concrete spalling doesn't require fire at all. Ask any Civil Engineer (I'm not actually Chartered).

I trained as a Civ Eng in Plymouth (Devon, UK) and obviously ended up in IT (22 years as MD of an IT firm). It's quite wet, windy and the air is pretty salty in Plimuff. All of those factors scream: Bad for conc. if you don't allow for them. Also, steel is well known to get quite unhappy in the presence of salty water, if it isn't cared for properly. Concrete cancer is another exciting opportunity to contend with in the face of ... conditions.

Concrete is a marvellous material, it really is but it is a sodding complicated matrix of variously graded (sizes) stones (aggregate) and particular sands bound up in the cement plus some admixtures (stuff added for various reasons). The cement alone is properly complicated - clinker and that. When you mix the stuff up and pour it, it's a chemical reaction that happens and not simply drying. That's why it works underwater - what you are worrying about underwater is avoiding the finer materials being carried off before the stuff sets. In the air, you worry more about temperature effects on setting and wind causing the surface to dry too fast. The reaction is caused by water, so if the surface dries out, the reaction doesn't happen and you get ... spalling later in life.

I hope that the studies quoted in court relating to conc spalling, describe the precise conditions that the stuff was poured in. Care will be taken over the effects of admixtures and the temperatures, weather and other conditions that affect setting and curing of conc. Was gap grading of the agg. a factor perhaps? What is the agg. composition anyway, let alone its size distribution?

I could go on a lot, lot more and I'm not even close to being an expert. I can pour a decent 3-2-1 mix and expect it to do the job at home. My little DIY conc related projects tend to work rather well - my garden is quite challenging topographically.

I hope I'm getting across that concrete is rather complicated. It's not a simple material just as balsa and elm are both "wood" but have very, very different properties.
> a weird echo chamber of nerds all claiming they think they have ADHD

autistics tend to do that? :)

That's actually sort of been tried. See "Clara M. Davis and the wisdom of letting children choose their own diets" [1].

Briefly, Davis took a group of newly weaned infants in the 1930s and let them choose what and how much to eat from a set of 33 food items. The experiment was designed so that the caretakers would not influence the children's choices.

I don't think candy and soda were among the 33 items--I believe they were all reasonably nutritious foods but with very different mixes of nutrients. All the kids ended up choosing diets from among those items that fit well with their individual nutritional needs.

Do you have any source that the USSR had superblocks like this?
What has Twitter innovated on in the last 10 years?

Granted they just released "Spaces" which is pretty nice, but I think you'll find the pace of innovation at these companies is quite low relative to their size. I think companies like SNAP and TWTR are fundamentally mismanaged on the product side. Very low output relative to the headcount.

At the end of the day, some businesses are niche and limited in scale, and that's ok. Right now every larger tech company is run as if they're trying to become a huge conglomerate.
Many of the same group, that coincidentally enough, seem to really love Orban in Hungary.

We had this issue and went back and forth with Google for weeks with no progress. It was infuriating, since the peeps on the other end just cut and pasted responses.

Then, we hashed the Contacts before uploading them and our app was immediately approved.

Subsequently, they decided to ding us on this permission "QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES", which we needed for inviting people you know to our app. Since we were so beaten down, we removed that feature. Congrats Google!

It isn't premature at all. Stable Diffusion took 100GB of already compressed images and turned them into a 2GB model. The XOR of those 100GM images could never fit into 2GB.
So all they need is 20 years to build up a fanbase in a product universe worth tens of billions of dollars and everyone will be clamoring to sideload their app as well.

They need to hope for a corporate raider. They will take the company private, fire 90% of the staff, launch a new mediocre product as a smokescreen while monetizing the crap out of the old thing, and then turn the new, profitable company loose on the markets again.
I was wondering the same. The auto-complete seems to be purposely counterintuitive, accepting some typos for words I would never type (or don't exist) and suggesting the wrong words as well. I wondered if I was just getting old as well. One strange thing that happens is when I try to type "I", it replaces it with "ai".

It's called walking, biking, transit. These things all work. If you don't wanna walk a couple blocks to your car, sorry but that's not worth killing the planet and your neighbors. Cars have SO many externalities: air pollution that affects climate change, pollution that makes the air less breathable, noise, danger to others, takes up far more space leaving less room for other modes, etc.
It would be nice to be able to click in any square in the board, instead of just the ones in the bottom.

A lot of people (a majority, even), obviously. Maybe you think they're trash, but reality doesn't seem to agree with you.
Then the solution is to find higher performing teams with higher expectations. If one still bombs interviews after that, then it's likely the hypothesis is incorrect.
My line of thought was that some of these changes could make the fixed code work badly, but it was probably taken into consideration
Carlsen was also immediately worse out of the opening and the game went directly from the opening to an endgame where Carlsen(white pieces) was slightly worse.

Sounds to me like runway released it without consulting stability, called it “1.5” - which according to the license they’re allowed to do but pretty scammy since emad had hyped a model with that label. And now stability is deciding to call this the official release to be nice to runway and avoid a general PR thing and community infight.
no bounty and still politely reports it. Good guys need more praise.
I think that’s important, because the examples you give aren’t entirely unrelated to turnkey tyranny. The abuse of these systems for personal gain by bad actors goes hand in hand with their political instrumentalisation. See East Germany, etc.

> if applied to children we'd learn they should subsist entirely on a diet of candy and soda.

In the case of animals, this would involve providing unlimited foods similar to what would be found in their natural environment.

If we gave kids their choice of naturally-occurring foods to eat, it probably wouldn’t be too terrible. My child was much more into things like broccoli and certain vegetables than I would have guessed.

Introduce processed foods and all bets are off, though.
> I don't think that they can cut 75% at once, just the severance payment will be huge and they may not have the money for that.

What if the plan is just to scare away as many current employees as possible now, before the deal is completed, thereby minimizing layoffs?

I know a lot of engineers who have already left, but the prospect of a 75% cut may inspire more.

Heading into a possible/probable recession, it may be wise to secure one's next job immediately rather than waiting for the axe to fall.
Even if the app uploads contacts to a server, is that a big deal? A lot of apps do that: WhatsApp, Telegram, Facebook, Instagram, Microsoft Teams, basically any messaging application. Of curse the app should ask permission to do so in accordance to local laws (such as GDPR if we are in Europe), but it shouldn't be a concern of Google.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but Snapchat invented the whole “stories” feature right? It got copied by all the other social media apps pretty quickly.

How do you even innovate in that landscape anymore? TikTok short form videos got copied quickly too. Gone are the days where something like Instagram can sit pretty with the whole vintage filter novelty, other companies just immediately copy it now.

Of course Google isn't going to look at the code. Most Google App Store apps are not open source, so why would that be a workflow at all?

You have to evaluate those same deliverables that are downloaded to the user.

To be able to infer properties of the build application from the source code review, it has to be shown that the two correspond; the shipped, built version comes from the code that was reviewed.

Poring over someone's source code is a fool's errand. You will never catch everything; people find 25 year old bugs in code that have evaded all previous pairs of eyes.

Google's approach here is poor though; they created these API's and permission model and now have to backpedal on it randomly.

If you want untrusted applications to have access to Contacts, it should be done with abstract tokens that do not reveal any contact details. Each contact is represented by an object handle that provides every imaginable operation you might want to do to, with or by-means-of a contact.

It's possible to design a system whereby some contact properties (e.g. mobilePhoneNumber) are accessible, but the result of the access is an abstract object that doesn't actually reveal the content, only represents its existence. The user interface could be priviled so that, say, a text field widget can be given one of these opaque objects, and then display the actual phone number. The only way to get at it would be to have permission to take a screenshot, and then OCR it.
