I'm not really sure - I think that depends on the details of how X Holdings is set up, which I'm not going to bother looking into. I should've used a more general term like "creditor", but the point remains.

We don't have really any visibility into what short- and long-term obligations Musk owes the various financing parties.

Edit: https://www.reuters.com/markets/deals/saudis-kingdom-holding... says Saud is keeping their ownership stake post-merger (they just love free speech!), so I do not think Musk is a 100% shareholder.
> If that were the case, then surely there would've been an advantage to be gained for not "fixating on 19th century tactics". Given that they had 4 years to discover such tactics and failed, they didn't exist.

Battlefield tactics did in fact change during WWI. Quite a lot. Infiltration, use of tanks, combined arms, how artillery was used and coordinated. Some of these innovations were kept and used successfully in WWI and beyond.

However, the over-riding reason for stalemates in WWI was because static defensive firepower technology and tactics had, briefly, outpaced maneuver warfare technology and tactics. Accurate and fast-firing long distance firearms neutralized the millenia old technology of cavalry, and made mass advances extremely costly. Mechanized and air power had yet to counter this, but they were quickly developed. And armies had to learn new tactics as well. But that takes time, and losses.

If this wasn't in the realm of how moral calculations work in society, then you wouldn't need to make this argument. People do accept funny moral trades and it's not clear how the calculus works. Tesla shareholders accept the fact that the guy in charge sometimes plays games like "FUNDING SECURED $420", so the fact that some Tesla engineers were borrowed/contracted/whatever is just a tiny detail in the big picture.
What I'm wondering about is more along the lines of: How many years until Enterprise grade solutions will have fixed this?

Last time it took Fortinet over 6 years to fix the publicly known backdoor/bypass, and they were the reason for the majority of hacks in 2021 because of that.

I fear the next couple years the monoculture in Enterprise IT will experience the same thing all over again, because their bought supply chain doesn't care much about RCEs like this.

Around here it’s the contrary. Paying when ordering is only on the low-end or when speed is a selling point. In any other setting you pay when leaving.

Making customers pay upfront is a huge “we’re too cheap to pay for waiters so the customers have to do their jobs” warning sign. They are the kind of places where you’re expected to clean the table when you leave. Ok when all you need are calories quickly, but definitely not pleasant places.

Historically the laws around credit card fraud in the US was more consumer friendly, and so the risk to letting your card out of sight was low enough people didn't care.

Laws have changed over the past 20 years, but the culture around how we treat cards has not.
I was about to post something similar but you already found something with more details.

The resistance between the male and female connectors can be much higher than what most of us have expected. While I was down the rabbit hole trying to power one of my SBC correctly, one of the findings was that the resistance introduced by the connector can go up to *0.5 ohm*(don't even mention those dodgy power supplies and cables). But even if the resistance is only 0.1 ohm, it's still a big problem as the current is for sure above 10A for a single pin, and then the heat dissipation will be over 10W, which will of course concentrated around the contacting point, which is close to the tip. This explains why the tip side was melting.
I am not sure what your point is here?

TBH I've hardly heard the word "techlash" since I cited it in Digital
Vegan as an Economist headline. It never really got traction. But the
article is correct in identifying it as a moment of reflective
realisation rather than a substantial movement. And perhaps in
locating it in a dislike of Big-Tech personalities as much as any
experienced harm.

Today I'm more cognisant of "peak tech", a tangible bend on the curve
that seems to be about limits of attention, practical connectivity,
exhaustion with gadgets and a limit on how many times the same app can
be re-branded "Now with AI".

On the other hand there remains a more serious branch to contemporary
tech critique. For that I prefer the term "Technofascism", because
it's got a bit more fuck-you built into it. Despite widespread
awareness there's precious little action beyond Software Freedom, or
ability to turn to meaningful choice and "take-back tech". I suppose a
regular one-minute-hate of screaming insults at Mark Zuckerberg makes
a good safety valve to distract from the real FaceBoot.
I don’t know what this “collusion” is. Companies with common ownership often cross-bill and this is used as a vehicle (search “transfer pricing” if you want to know more) to move profits around and optimise tax. There are restrictions on transfer pricing, but there’s no concept of collusion here and in particular there really is no restriction related to fair market rate. There are lots of ways to do the billing part of this which would be perfectly normal.

It’s a terrible idea because it’s a nasty way to treat people at the acquired company and probably ineffective at getting any useful information, but Elon Musk has shown that he doesn’t have many scruples about that sort of thing.

Their tram network is one of the best in Europe, I can’t see myself living in a city without a decent tram network.

> The people in the communities believe in a moral right to having self-diagnosis believed. Having a diagnosis is almost considered a form of privilege reserved for wealthy white males, an observation rooted in scientific evidence of systemic under diagnosis for minorities and women.

This, in and of itself, would seem to warrant some sort of mental illness. Victim complex, perhaps?

I had interpreted this trend as something different. Kids wanting to be outliers because being an outlier is cool. Claiming some, realistically debilitating, mental illness makes you special (at least in the "different" sense). This gives lonely teenagers a sense of belonging and something that differentiates them. Most of them could probably be diagnosed with narcissistic personality disorder but I am not doctor. I suppose this isn't new. When I was a kid the kid in class that showed up with a cast was pretty cool for the time they had the cast. Everyone loves an outlier.

As someone who has struggled with a mild-to-medium form of ADHD, only getting a formal diagnosis late in life, I am baffled anyone would want to pretend to have a mental illness. Yet, here we are.
I think ads are a major component of this but not the only one. (See a recent top HN post about chumboxes. It is hard to not become cynical.)

You also have:

- growing complexity beyond the comprehension of a person resulting in fear of unknown

- plain old disinformation and conspiracy theorising

- an abundance of brain dead behaviour on the part of technology creators (see the recent article about the glovebox you can only open from the touchscreen)

- plenty of bad behaviour on the part of corporations

I do not think the techlash is unjustified yet I think technology is an inseparable aspect of humanity.

I think the main cause is a crisis of misaligned incentives which on the surface are coherent. The corporate social structure is no longer capable of functioning as an engine for betterment of humanity.

Most linux desktops are different and more complicated but here is how I set mine up on openbsd.

pick a key that is handy but you don't use much, for me this was the context menu key, on many european keyboards there is an altgr key set aside for this exact use case.

> I don't really have a solid solution to this

My solution to this when designing Homebrew’s binary packages was to store the checksums for the binaries in Git but the binaries themselves elsewhere (inspired by Homebrew already storing source checksums in Git).

On Homebrew, therefore, you’d have to compromise both the binaries and the Git repository.

These are both nowadays on GitHub but the binaries in GitHub Packages are addressed by their checksum and the Git repository has a good audit log.
QR codes work fine - as ever it is the local implementation which makes the difference.

Doing things for other people is a big part of why I do programming as well, so while everyone should make up their own mind about what motivates them, I feel the same way as you.

I worked as a software developer and CTO for a bunch of startups, most of which folded. You spend months and maybe years writing software and features, thinking about every last edge case and how to avoid bugs when weird things happen, then no weird things happen because nobody uses the software, so in a way you might as well not have bothered.

At my current place, just working as a senior developer, I released a feature, which was an niche feature and only available to paying subscribers, but it was already discovered and used millions of times within the first few weeks, and there were forum posts where lots of people posted how useful the feature was to them, etc. The feature wasn't that technically complex, but I derived a lot of satisfaction from the fact it was highly-used and appreciated.

Many researchers using same data and hypothesis: hidden universe of uncertainty

"Will different researchers converge on similar findings when analyzing the same data?
Seventy-three independent research teams used identical cross-country survey data to test a prominent social science hypothesis: that more immigration will reduce public support for government provision of social policies.

Instead of convergence, teams’ results varied greatly, ranging from large negative to large positive effects of immigration on social policy support. The choices made by the research teams in designing their statistical tests explain very little of this variation; a hidden universe of uncertainty remains."
I hate the writer's terminology of calling them "QR Code Menus". I would call them web page menus.

The QR Code is only used to encode the URL, not the full menu content. The menu is simply a web page, whose address can be obtained by many methods - QR Code, Data Matrix code, Aztec code, PDF417 code, Google search, manually typing text, etc.

Furthermore, I don't like how many QR Codes do not have human-readable text. For example, if I wanted to access a restaurant menu on a laptop computer, it makes more sense to type a URL than to awkwardly position its webcam (if it even has one) to scan a barcode.

I very much agree with the author's sentiment that requiring a digital device with power and Internet to simply read a menu is user-hostile.
Why even sense connector?
Like, what's that aspect needed for, here? I understand it for the lower-voltage rails, but the 12V GPU bulk power supply shouldn't need remote sensing, just mandate appropriate limits on voltage drop and rate cable resistance in a way that DIY builders can test their parts (not like we need high accuracy here, just need to 4-wire measure resistance to like +-10%).

But to answer your question on "why adding pins": electrical regulations regarding fire risks eschew PSUs that don't trip over current protection when you hit like 20-ish A on a single output, due to the risk of starting a fire if you were to dump that much power into a small place and happen to have enough resistance in that "short" to not trip the over current protection.
That's why GPUs feed multiple power rails from the PSU and control themselves to balance their draw across their input rails to not overload any single input.

And IMO as long as we let people build computers in cases that won't protect the room/building from e.g. a broken capacitor on the GPU's 12V side drawing 600W until the GPU is burnt to a crisp and the case fan has blown the flames out the back against the e.g. wooden shelf on/near the desk, we maybe should keep up the regulations that such fire-non-containing cases can't use PSUs where individual power rails willingly deliver enough power for an electrical fire to escape the case.
When were you living in the EU? Credit cards have been around for a while, laws have changed over that time. Also credit cards have realized making it easier to reverse charges for fraud makes consumers more likely to use a card. Both are factors, and thus both of you are completely correct.

Inflation is a tax on idle money. Inflation is generally around 3%, so it costs 3% of your money for it to be "liquid" (idle). This means most people aren't going to keep around liquid cash.

Additionally (I am a layman, but this is my understanding), to get around taxes, rich people take out loans using their assets as collateral.

This means the rich probably have very little liquid cash, but incredibly large lines of credit.

In regards to spending, what's the difference between cash in hand and credit?

So from my probably poorly informed position, this question doesn't make very much sense.
That last one broke my brain, thanks
To me, it feels like SAFe was specifically designed to insert some expensive consultants between the developers to profit off software development without doing much actual work.

Instead of working together with developers to solve a problem we now have to use these rigid structures, release trains, system teams, and sync meetings, to do our work. If I want to approach a developer in a different team I'm supposed to go through two scrum masters, and setup multiple meetings with clueless people, this is madness.

Instead of using decades of professional developer experience to make strategic decisions we now get these complex decision processes such as WSJF, designed by a group of MBAs. It only seems to complicate things.

And we have an army of clueless but very expensive people (scrum masters and "release train engineers" with minimal experience) who have been brainwashed to think that despite minimal training and experience they have some SAFe gospel to spread, they are the one source of wisdom, and developers are just a nuisance standing in their way.
This is a bizarre take. I dine/eat out fairly often to a point I know the staff names in quite a few places (it's Europe, no tipping culture, either). I don't quite see how I could customize any order with a web interface, realistically (food intolerances).

>when they're printing hundreds of fresh menus a day

They change the menu every day? Around here the menus are commonly placed in a book alike folder or the least they will have a plastic slip. As for waste the online part (with datacenters and all) would be more wasteful/less green.

>Plus the bonus of never having to experience "oh sorry we're out of that" if they update the menus dynamically is fantastic.

So they need to link the kitchen to the menu system in real time. That feels unliklely - most of the menus would mostly static web (or worse pdf) interfaces, and an order button.
