You were probably including the following in your meaning for "feature fit, timing, and growth", but just to echo / amplify your comment: two extremely difficult things in building a community of Twitter's size (neither of which are technical / implementation in nature) are a) achieving network effects [1], and b) solving the Eternal September problem [2]. Both these hurdles are much more strategic than technical in nature. Andrew Chen's "The Cold Start Problem" goes into some fascinating detail about this [3].

But it doesn't make sense when you know that they have billions in cash sitting in bank waiting to be spend. They have the money and the knowledge to implement whatever feature they need to. Backend load and infrastructure scale is not a problem at this point. My somewhat simple explanation is; Google wants to cater to the casual crowd so hard to the point of sacrificing user experience for advanced users or power users who use YouTube every day. They rather prefer status quo than
try to bother with more advanced features. But I have to admit, they already have some pretty advanced features but they need to keep pushing.
I think that depends on some definitions. There have been much larger purchases in the past that largely boiled down to one individual. And what about Berkshire Hathaway? That's sort of just another name for Warren Buffett. Certainly some large acquisitions there.
And Denmark is interesting case as they have opt-out, but they are still pegged to Euro...
I hope the detector does more than decreasing the visibility of topics on which there is more disagreement than usual (higher quantity of downvotes?). I think quite a few important discussions would have that feature (but also flamewars, which probably makes the distinction difficult).
How does that help? The whole problem is that twitter provides a platform to legitimize hate speech by spreading it to like-minded people and thereby emboldening them. clustering does exactly that, but shields bad actors with a cloak of secrecy.
But not every tweet through the api would be bots right? Like someone using a custom twitter client as a single user shouldn't get that label, no?
>the eye must focus at the screen even if the scene is very close or very far

This is just literally untrue. Your eyes focus "into" the VR scene, not at the screens one inch from your eye.

* He will move the HQ to Austin. The current SF Tenderloin location is a major turnoff for everyone, including most of the employees, I'd bet. And it certainly can't be cheap.

Instead of introducing a new PSU standard, why not change the connector, or add a connector for power.
Oh you could use any flight sim and just mess with the joystick wiring then! Or possibly even just the calibration.

I'm going to go with "pretty much no". I'm prepared to bet that you in your house with no pressure could probably more-or-less do it, because you know already what's going on and you're not going to die and you're not in a real plane with your primary instrument - the Mk1 Human Backside - being tossed around enough to knock it out of calibration.

Have you seen the film "Sully"? If not I won't spoil it for you, but it raises a similar issue.
This is the article they were indefinitely suspended for posting: https://babylonbee.com/news/the-babylon-bees-man-of-the-year...

That's only "targeted harassment" when redefining words in an arbitrary and disingenuous fashion. The article is not even especially mean hearted, let alone "targeted harassment." And then factor in the fact that the subject is a high ranking and public political figure on top of all of this.
I hope he buys Google next. Search really sucks.
I am pro EU but anti-Euro, it's not just sentimentality. If you are not aware, you should read about the Eurozone debt crisis of 2009. The Euro ties the economies of 19 companies that demonstrably should not all be joined. Germany and Greece having the same central bank just doesn't make sense, and it should not have happened.

I mean, firstly just that consumers hate having to plug in a ton of cables: it's bad for aesthetics, it's annoying to manage the cables, etc...

The bigger reason is probably to save board space as nvidia have been shrinking the form factor of the actual boards so they can dedicate more room to flow-through cooling. Connectors take up a lot of board edge.

The new spec does also have data pins so the devices can negotiate for power which could in theory reduce issues and inform the consumer better about limits with future PSUs and devices.

So there are advantages to the new spec, both specifically with the form factor and more generally.
Probably not? Half of the life on earth would probably survive the initial radiation burst, due to geography, and while there will be massive atmospheric chemistry changes that would be highly traumatic it seems like life would find a way, as they say.
I strongly agree with the point
the problem was that compilers weren't using these addressing modes at all

at least in the 80s microcomputer compilers were very primitive compared to what we have now which maintained a strong need for ASM. Dev tools used to be very expensive and proprietary too.

GCC started to slowly changes that starting by 1987.

So there was a time when software started to be mainly compiled high level language but using stupid compilers and CPU designers had to live with that.
but what about "full self moderating?!"

jokes aside. there actually could be some opportunity to do some really cool stuff like some kind of experimental political science. like, mechanisms for population clustering and distribution of representation.

like, running human clustering algorithms and then using the size of those clusters to allocate representation. a blueprint for future attempts at stable democracy that don't rely on gerrymanderable geographic hand drawn borders or hand picked classifications.
Recommender systems for news and social media have been tried, and I don't doubt that there may be niches where they succeed.

But large platforms have two massive problems:

(1) what people want is popular content, sometimes even content they would downvote. This destroys clustering by creating fuzzy centralized bridges and erodes the usefulness of recommenders

(2) people over time have lost trust and interest in highly personalized feeds, see facebook or the revolt against instagram's feed sorting.

Two cases that seem to work for now are music recommendation and tiktok. I'm not holding my breath though, because spotify might end up driving people away with too many monetized podcasts and tiktok could succumb to the generational migration. But we'll see!

Indeed. The fastest I've ever been banned anywhere on the Internet was forums that were ostensibly focused on "free speech." The term seems to be used ironically.

Stating that humans are sexually dimorphic? That a man claiming to have transitioned to female is still a man? That got the Babylon Bee sanctioned, for satire.

I would also hope that's not a "conservative" view as it's simply a scientific fact.
Can you include this one person's name in your comment or reply so that people like me who are unfamiliar can evaluate such a glowing endorsement of "her" "good work."

I know this sounds like a cynical question, but without a name your comment seems a little bit fanatical.
Advertising is an old boy's club. They spend money based on personal relationships, brand image, reputation, reliability, and trust.

The actual quality of the advertising product almost doesn't matter, it's not like any of the advertisers can reasonably independently validate the claims or performance, they're trusting them as given.

Elon has never been a member of the advertising club, he famously chooses to have his company refuse to even be a client, and he doesn't have a reputation for any of those values. Wouldn't at all be surprised if major clients put a hold on their Q4 spend with Twitter the moment they got news of the completed acquisition.

Google, Facebook, and Snap all had major advertising earning misses, the agencies would be pressuring for better deals regardless.
The metro/urban bias on HN is rarely more prevalent than when the subject is cars or Internet access.

I live on a wooded lot in a reasonably developed area in Ohio. DSL was brought out to my address in ~2004. Today it is limited to 15Mbps down, 768kbps up. 4G has been available since Verizon rolled it out in the area. I have no idea how long ago that was, maybe ten years ago. Today it's good for 25Mbps/2Mbps on a good day, no carrier on bad. I've had Starlink since Feb of 2021. Around November of last year it had become reliable enough that I could use it as my primary Internet access method. The numbers vary, but I would say my average is 140Mbps down and 25Mbps up.

So in my specific case, Starlink is the best Internet access, hands down. It has the lowest latency, it has the highest raw and average performance, and it is the most reliable. It has been this way for approximately a year. So in circumstances where the customer is anywhere outside of a urban/suburban area, Starlink is incredibly competitive and may in fact be the best option available.
As a little pro-tip, the demos appear to be serving a gzip compressed WASM file, but offering a brotli compressed version for clients that say they accept it would be even better:

If you know of more cases with reliable sources then perhaps the article should be expanded.

While Wikipedia is of course not the most exhaustive source, it ranks quite high in Search Engines.

For many people it is frequently their sole source of information for such issues, which is why I see merit for people who know more than I do about the issue to make the necessary edits to expand the article.

If your belief system allows you to support genocide, does that make you better than someone who is doing something bad now that doesn't support genocide? No, I don't think your moral compass is any less subjective than mine, here. People act on and are motivated by their beliefs, and, if you're a Nazi, you're going to do things that move the world in a particular direction.

What you wrote matches the MIT license, not the AGPL, say.

With AGPL, users have to immediately give away derivative works, and there are many business circumstances when that won't do. Hence dual licensing by the vendor - but alas dual licensing sets up the possibility of bait and switch, or can.

I haven't even mentioned implied patent grants.
>Elon will probably run Twitter the way a "reasonable executive" would. Not just release the hounds.

Is there a list of how many different institutions and investors have money in Twitter now? Because I remember Musk taking in a lot of money for this takeover. And those people probably had the smarts to give them an exit in case Musk decided to release the hounds.
>And, if it does, how will the problems manifest? Reduced reliability? Slower feature velocity? Less innovation?

I got a good laugh out of that. Twitter is easily the worst operating social platform I've used. Still, it will be interesting to observe if there is a slow and steady degradation of their software stack. Everything in the world degrades naturally and needs to be maintained to fight against entropy.

Elon himself once said: "The organizational problems of a company manifest themselves in the product". Knowing that it will be interesting to witness what "organizational problems" we can derive from the product as Elon takes over.
This is what I've heard from a friend who does business in China and visit China often. Apparently the locals believe that some of the WIV lab animals were sold to the wet market and the rest is history. It's a hearsay. So use your own judgement.

Imagine trying to explain this complex of a voting system to the folks whose argument the election was rigged sometimes boiled down to "I saw more Trump signs, so Biden can't have gotten votes".

Social norms are inherently non-scientific in their motivation.

It's an accurate observation to say that higher-income liberals tend to think this way and enforce these norms but the norms themselves are in the realm of culture and politics.

Similarly, it's accurate to say conservatives tend to think people who flout traditional gender norms matched to their genetics are weirdos. Not scientific on their part either.
The straightforward reading of the gp is that keeping its own currency was “special” in the context of the EU, which requires new members to join the Eurozone eventually. It would be a “privilege” insofar as it is an exception to the EU’s general policy.

Of course, the UK is not required to rejoin the EU, even if the EU would consider allowing that. Of course, the EU can set any terms of admission. If the UK doesn’t like the terms, it will stay out of the EU. No one is forcing it.

Indignation doesn’t seem like a reasonable reaction here.
“Lick a 9V” is usually how I phrase it. Not the best feeling in the world.

I really don't think there's a straight line from this kind of lone-wolf domestic terrorism to civil war. A civil war happens when people who aren't mentally unstable, normal people just like you and I, decide that suchandsuch political objective is so important that our fellow citizens have to be shot in order to achieve it. If that seems like a crazy idea to you (it certianly does to me!) then a civil war isn't yet on the table.

A period of severe unrest like we had in the 60s? That's definitely a possibility.
How to Create a Job Board: Complete Guide
LFE lacks it’s own robust web app development stack … and translating between documentation in Elixir (Phoenix) and Lisp all day will make my head hurt.

Clojure is a tougher call. For this project it might be good.

However, I want to include some CLI scripts … and the JVM adds deployment complexity for those.

ClojureScript is tempting, but I don’t see a great story about the server piece for rapid web app development there.
Just remember that any script that fetches anything else remotely would still pass the checksum as only the initial script is checked.
The Babylon Bee has been suspended for this tweet.[1] Meghan Murphy was permanently banned for a tweet that simply said, "Men aren't women."[2] The majority of Americans agree with these banned views. In the latest Pew polls, 60% of US adults say that gender is determined by one's sex at birth and cannot be changed.[3] Whether that view is right or not, it's pretty silly to issue bans for saying something that most people believe.

I've seen accounts get banned for replacing "white" with "black" in popular hateful tweets. Apparently only one kind of racism is allowed on Twitter.[4]

If you read Twitter's reasoning for suspending Trump, you'll see it's based on two tweets, neither of which calls for violence.[5] Twitter had to use the excuse that some people might be emboldened to commit violence by his tweets. That's true for almost any politician. But the president of South Africa's Black First Land First party can threaten to kill white people and only get a seven day suspension.[6] Ali Khamenei, the Supreme Leader of Iran, still has a Twitter account[7] despite endorsing the fatwa against Salman Rushdie. Rushdie is now blind in one eye and has lost the use of an arm after an assassination attempt in August.

The double standard could not be more obvious.

Agree. Updating old files with black specifically is egregious. Even replacing the color with a CMYK/RGB near equivalent would be far far less hostile than this approach. Oh you want to know what colors you used on that piece from 15 years ago? Pay up. It’s basically a shakedown and should be illegal.
I also think that US should build more train tracks. Much easier to automate.

I always wonder: how much honesty is in him?

For example, he stopped talking about the bot population on the platform altogether after he could not get out of the deal.

Was he honest about this being a big issue in the first place?

For me, it’s not easy to believe this because this bot issue appeared right after Twitter staff did not like his speech, and talks with the CEO fell apart.

Am I mistaken about how it all played out?

If not, do you think being deceitful to a certain degree is okay?

From your point of view, do you consider him deceitful?
> if you just comply with the law and take a bunch of tweets down in China

Note the last qualifier in your statement. "in China". I think the concern is that a potential adversary could influence Musk outside of their jurisdiction too. So "in China" becomes "everywhere". Which means that one day your might find that you're not able to criticize Putin or Xi Jingping or whoever else on Twitter because Musk has a large Tesla presence in that country

At 500W+ maybe the GPU should have it's own dedicated power supply with it's own power cable. And then the GPU manufacturer could optimize the voltages and amps since they control the whole power chain.

You could have some standardization, a simple power negotiation protocol "I can supply 500W at 24V or 48V" and a standard (big) connector.

A long time ago the display was powered from the main unit, but we moved passed that and now displays have their own power cable.

I mean, if you think that “everyone is happy with Elon’s content moderation strategies” was one of the possible outcomes, well then I disagree, I think Elon is going to take heat for content moderation across the political spectrum.
There's no secrecy. The FBI can (and should) infiltrate these groups (just like their tweets, and you're in), and then arrest them for their illegal behavior. And, limited in-real-life moderation of illegal posts can be focused on where the crazy people hang out. It should be a win.
