Isn't this the ideal place to ask such a question? Unless you think HN is as bad as twitter...
I mean, nobody was obligated to buy minimally-voting shares of $FB.

Our legal system's default assumption is that contracts that aren't clearly exploitative are valid, and this seems pretty tame by that measure.
You shouldn't work at any company where you don't agree with the direction or mission.
They're really building that? Does anyone outside their little royal bubble think this is a good or even feasible idea?
I don't know about that. I want to see Facebook fail. I think the world would be a better place without Facebook. I am pretty confident I am not the only one who thinks that and I think the number of people who see things that way is increasing.

If I knew someone was engaging with Facebook, I would think less of them. In the same way Facebook grew due to social factors, it can also wither due to social factors.

Facebook has gotten so much negative press that I can't imagine there being anyone but mercenaries working there now.

I certainly would not invest in that.

Dictatorships work great until they don't. Dictators get high off of their yes men until they lose touch with reality and start making critical errors.
Tl;Dr: I'd give about 80% likelihood to a wave of content and community toxicity going forward.

(Edit: I assume the question is about using Twitter; the answer indirectly addresses working for Twitter as well)

Established communities are highly sensitive to tectonic shifts in the underlying power structures.

The new management has come with an agenda to stir said structures, but does not make the impression of being particularly sensible or skilled at nurturing communities at large.

In other words, as soon as a community reaches a certain size, only very persistent policing can keep it bearable for members. Tampering with the moderation will likely upset that, and by the time the new management learns the ropes, it is likely that most communities will disband and move elsewhere. Hence my conclusion.

Proper disclosure: I don't have a Twitter account.
Not the first. Sounds like we're not consuming our entire food supply, but rather generating more as we need it.

And there's a lot of other things besides cow farts contributing to global warming, which can have a much bigger effect for much less effort than making the world vegetarian.
>a Rust service locally on my x86 machine then deploy a working/signed artifact directly to ARM servers

That's the kind of thing you can do with Rust -> WASM -> WASI (or something like that).
> Why do iOS developers as a group need the government to grant them bartering power?

Because Apple won't give it to them in good-faith.

> If so why can't every other sizeable group, such as commenters on HN, demand government granted bartering power?

They can, they just won't necessarily get it. I think there is ample evidence to support the claim that Apple is holding back software distribution and service innovation with their actions. If found guilty of anticompetitive practice (eg. in the case of Spotify), the most fitting consequence would be breaking Apple's monopoly on app distribution. The only law we'd need is one mandating the installation of third-party software packages (APKs on Android and IPAs on iOS).

Is forcing the App Store to compete with the free market a bad thing? It shouldn't be, if the value proposition is there.
Chick culling is certainly gruesome, but not so shocking to me. It terms of animal suffering, I have seen much worse, still not enough to stop me from eating meat though.

I've seen videos of these chick grinders, from fully live chick to ground meat, it takes something like 1/10 of a second, I am not even sure their brain have time to register what happens before there is no brain anymore. Culling also happens very early, maybe after a day or so after hatching, so early it could almost be called abortion. Considered what happens after that, if I were to reincarnate, I would rather be one of these culled chicks than one that survives...

I think that focus on culled chicks is more because it looks ugly than real concerns about animal welfare.
reproduced, though not with all cards, just ones I'd clicked on already.
I think you’re right that the turtle one is the first (or at least one of the first) but there are lots of emoji reviews - see https://www.reddit.com/r/EmojiReview/#sort=top;t=all or https://www.tumblr.com/emojiratingcollection. Most of them rate emojis only aesthetically. I wanted to only cover reviews that included details about how realistic the emojis in its category are.
SC is not slavery, and why it is a different word.
Mexico also abused Pegasus, right? I wonder if any national governments that are affiliated with NSO are restricted.
I read the whole thing. Very erie that there's no evidence of an intermediate species that was infected before humans. Safety concerns in Wuhan labs, a coronavirus research hotspot according to the report, have been known for years. The timeline adds up to an incident between Sept and Oct.

Not to mention there were other weird differences between the old SARS outbreak in the early 2000s. China readily provided evidence for a zootonic spillover. This time, nothing.

Considering how much this has messed up all our lives, it's painful to see China not cooperate.
The Saudi Central Bank (SAMA) has taken a harsh line against crypto. Any fintech product is barred from the regulatory sandbox if there is a crypto component. The bank has warned Saudi citizens not to purchase or traffic in crypto.
If you were top management, it stopped being one tonight.
I dislike him even without being fanned by the media. Totally organic dislike for him and his product and his privacy invasion.
This does not work well on Brave browser - keeps reloading. Will definitely check it on my desktop though, looks super cool
Are crazy, crooked politicians benefiting human knowledge or advancement somehow that they should be newsworthy? Just stop feeding narcissists attention, and they will have a melt-down and go away.
they'll create sentient machines before then
Maybe he watched George Clooneys 'Money Monster'.
Lol, I always find it funny when people pretend that Parag is some clueless "management type". I graduated the same year as him from the same school, and he is a ridiculously sharp engineer who has risen up at Twitter the old-fashioned way. It's painfully obvious that Musk just wants sycophantic yes-men around him and was pissed off that Parag wasn't willing to kiss his ass regarding all his "revolutionary" suggestions.
How on earth can you think this is less democratic? It is by far more democratic. Twitter under previous leadership was on a banning, censoring, rampage against anything that didn’t agree with their own narrative.
I tried out 1v1 slime-ball yesterday and it was pretty sweet.
Indeed! Every brilliant idea anyone ever posted online can now appear in ML-spew with all the context and wit stripped away.
Wouldn't you need two reservoirs in that case? Otherwise where is the water being drained down to take advantage of the potential energy?
It probably wasn't a "code review", it was probably a technical architecture review - docs, diagrams, slides, conversations. And then maybe the journalist (or some non-technical source they are using, such as some PR person or executive) doesn't understand the difference between a "code review" and "architecture review". Or maybe the journalist actually does understand, but they called it a "code review" (or maybe even the editor changed it on them) because they think that's easier for an uneducated general audience to understand.
the initial announcement of Musks twitter offer and attendant gloating / revulsion got many thousands of comments and it is actually quite interesting that the terminal side of this giant event has come through HN like a whisper.

And HN, like CNBC, exists mainly as part of a giant financial hype machine which is interesting in the same way that gravity or death is interesting. The whole tech world revolves around the price of things - your attention, clicks, term sheets, RSUs, etc. Cramer is not below HN, you are not above Cramer just because you don't perform on camera. We are all part of this machine.
If you don’t even have the financial resources to hire an attorney to draft and file a patent how do you expect to have the resources to (I assume) sue potential infringers?

If you want to monetize your inventions file a provisional patent (very cheap) and take a year actually doing something with it - attracting investment for non-provisionals, bringing it to market, etc. If you don’t intend to actually do anything with your inventions other than file patents there’s a term for what you’re describing - patent troll.

I use the web version on safari on my iPhone and it works surprisingly well - at least for my most common use case of moving photos between devices.
What do you mean by that
Apple's changes that hurt Facebook were not even related to the App Store at all. Study your examples before you cite them: https://www.cnbc.com/2021/09/24/apples-ios-changes-hurt-face...

> The changes Apple made in iOS 14.5 — asking people if they wanted to opt-out of apps tracking them across the web — is causing tumult for advertisers who rely on Facebook to sustain their businesses. Performance marketers, i.e., those who want you to buy immediately after clicking, are particularly struggling. The masses, they believe, have opted out of letting Facebook track off of Facebook, so they can’t be sure if people are buying their products after seeing their ads. Facebook expects them to spend less money as a result.

How does any of that rely on the App Store, Apple's 30% cut, or even the state of app distribution on iOS?
now lets hope, he take's twitter and it's code open source. zero expectation's though would be fun to watch where this goes.
They already did begin exploring this field, starting with precipitation nowcasting - like every other AI shop out there (see https://www.deepmind.com/blog/nowcasting-the-next-hour-of-ra...).

Numerical weather prediction is a _very_ well established field. In fact, large tranches of modern computer science and computing in general owe their existence in direct ways to the importance of numerical weather prediction, since this was one of the original applications of digital computers! Modern weather forecasting models are extraordinarily sophisticated scientific and engineering achievements. It's not obvious that AI actually offers any significant, immediate benefit over these tools save for niche, simplified forecasts (e.g. precipitation nowcasts) - certainly, given the prowess of modern NWP, the ROI is likely to be very low for research investments into general purpose AI weather forecasts.

One might then argue that perhaps AI can be useful to help refine or post-process these existing forecast systems? But of course - we've been doing just that since the 1970's. In fact, even the basic weather forecast that you might get from your national weather service these days is based on a sophisticated statistically post-processed machinery applied to not one but dozens of weather forecasts.

Weather prediction is unlikely to be a field where AI practitioners stumble across a significant improvement to the status quo. It would be far wiser to work closely with meteorology experts to solve practical and _useful_ weather forecast problems - like, is that thunderstorm I see on radar likely to produce a tornado in the next 45 minutes?
Dumb move. Amazon is a toxic, brutal, social Darwinian company. No free lunches there, literally, at all. Vending machines only. Jerks and outsized egos abound.

GoDaddy isn't that great of a company either.

I would focus on decent companies whether hybrid, remote, or on-site. The quality of the people and the tone of the culture are what are most important.
Where/how does ffmpeg come in? How are you connecting screen output to ffmpeg input?
I believe that HN is far worse. There are extremely helpful and non-cynical corners of Twitter.
For the PE to be 20 the stock would have to more than double and that’s not going to happen in this environment

I don’t follow Meta closely so I’m trying to catch up.

Sounds like they’re cash rich so they can afford to burn some money on the VR project, which sounds like it’s a decade away.

They burned something like $65 billion in stock buybacks over the past couple of years. ouch!

Still, that PE shouldn’t be 9 unless revenue is expected to drop quite a lot. Anyway, I’d been interested in knowing who to follow on this stock.

Here’s some info I’ve come across:

“As for capital expenses, Altimeter makes a startling claim: excluding metaverse investments, Meta is still spending more on capex than Apple, Tesla, Twitter, Snap, and Uber combined, with much of the growth apparently coming in the past three years”

I don’t know. After the recent scrutiny of the Instagram acquisition and whether it should have been allowed (or undone), it might not be realistic to get it through government scrutiny.
The time to leave was like 8 years ago. If anything it could only get better, but I doubt it.
Not only that but future RSU should be treated as part of your portfolio which means that you must sell every vesting cycle.

I did this while at Facebook eating the shit while the stock price grew, but now... I feel like a genius.
There was an article on Tue that got to the front page about the near-impending acquisition. It's just that there's too many of the same thing that everyone is tired of it, to be honest. It'll be probably back when and if the acquisition is confirmed to be complete/cancelled again (not just plain old speculation).
The OP is asking, "is it time to leave the platform?". So it sounds like he's asking as a user of the service, not as an employee.
Only in the US would anyone think of Twitter as far left biased.

McCathy left a long shadow and a truly bicameral insanity wrt political discussion.
Friend used to work for a high wealth individual. He said every year Senator McConnell would stop by and shake his boss down for money roughly the same way a small time Mafioso shakes down the owner of a dry cleaners.

It feels to me like with the Republican party the patronage relationship is inverted.
Sweet! Now twitter at least has a chance of not being a cesspool of far left group think.
I suppose. Perhaps this generation of technocrats burning their empires to the ground will make people more hesitant to invest in shares without power in future companies.
I wonder how many of Twitter's bus factors are about to exit in this upcoming purge. Beyond that I wonder how long it will take before Twitter suffers the fate of Parler, where wanton failures in moderation resulted in them losing their infra vendor.
If only I'd applied some kind of screen to avoid getting sucked into this thread. Better late than never I guess.
Any of us might or might not have obligations that make other options infeasible.
The policies weren't forthcoming, but the price drops still happened.

Ask HN: What is your opinion on computational photography?
I know it feels like we have leaped generations ahead with phone cameras compared to what it was 5 years ago but recently it seems like we are being dictated by ML/AI to tell us what the photo we have taken should look like. For example, I was hiking with a friend the other day who has an S22 and he snapped a gorgeous photo from the top of the hill. But something seemed off with the clouds - it shaped slightly, but surely, different than what I observed with my naked eyes. It's like being in an uncanny valley.

Also, most photos that I see people take with their phones have the saturation way too intense than in real life. I believe they are taking HDR photos but the auto-balancing act of the HDR tones is just not quite right.
Same goes for the blurring effect. The depth of field achieved by phones are so artificial and unnatural that it throws me off a lot. It just flattens everything behind the subject and gives the same amount of blur. But depth of field doesn't work like that in real life!

Phones' default behavior should be to capture the photo as true to real life as possible and then maybe if the user wants to be creative, then reveal all the tools.
I'm gonna Karnak this and claim that nothing changes. He'll get bored and leave it to someone else, just like a lot of his abandoned projects, and in a year, we'll forget he owns it. Place yer bets.
SpaceX uses some Tesla parts (such as electric motors and batteries). Apparently, SpaceX has used Tesla engineers as consultants regarding those parts.

Legally, Tesla isn't allowed to do "favours" for Musk's other businesses. From what I understand, SpaceX/etc pay Tesla the fair market value of all assistance received (both goods and services). And the cooperation has to (at a high level) be approved by the respective boards (both Tesla's and SpaceX's) while Musk is not in the room. Whatever assistance Tesla may have given Musk regarding Twitter would be subject to the same legal requirements.
Sometimes we keep the volume low because the baby is sleeping. Sometimes we enjoy talking over movies, and subtitles can help us not miss things.

But the biggest reason is that house acoustics suck. Sitting in a drywall box is not the best thing for intelligibility or sonic appreciation. I used to operate a small music studio out of a house, and I spent more than a trivial amount of money to make the acoustics decent for such work. I daydream about doing similar treatments in my living room, but I don't make my living doing audio work anymore, so it's hard to justify the time and expense. So I turn on subtitles or put on headphones.

i feel like it isn’t a realistic expectation to expect somebody to come out of their comfort zone and be somebody they aren’t (“be the person that …”)
op here. it is deleted for me too. wild.
complete nonsense. tech may bounce back but "covering losses" is not why tech is down
For $15B Meta could have had their own Gerald R. Ford-class aircraft carrier. and still had enough left over in change to buy Lucasfilm.
When you say this in your copy, what does it mean exactly?

"The #1 Real-Time API connector company"

You are just launching, so how could you already be #1?
I got the M2 air recently as a DJ and was really exited for it to have no fam or loving parts. I don’t mind fan noise too much but my old 2010 MBP would constantly increase and decrease the fan speed which was extremely annoying for me.

Anyway, I’m so focussed listening to the lack of fan noise that I sometimes hear a ‘phantom’ fan noise. Like the lack of fan noise doesn’t seem right so my brain makes it up.

I love this m2 Air so much.
≥ "He saw the digital future once. Can he repeat the trick?"

Zuckerberg copied an idea someone else came up with, used shady business tactics to screw his cofounders, was lucky enough to start at Harvard which helped differentiate and legitimize his me-too product, then rode network effects to success (mostly because it was managed by competent adults who were as unscrupulous as he is). He's done nothing else. Instagram, Whatsapp and Oculus were acquisitions, and the company's core product has become simply a disinformation machine which no one under the age of 25 will touch.

The only thing Zuckerberg has done is make money. Which is all well and good, but his "vision" is non-existent, as demonstrated by his insane focus on VR when he could be doing so much with the platforms he already has.
Nobody really wants meta. All the kids are happy they returned to school. Nobody wants to learn virtual welding.
To give people the impression they're protecting the real thing.
I think the reaction that a lot of people have is that there's no lack of highlighting the dangers of climate change. We have a surplus of that. What we do have is a lack of people doing anything productive about it. At some point Grassroots groups for raising awareness need to shift to Grassroots groups for taking productive action.

What If instead of spending time and money raising awareness, people started spending that time and money doing things like retrofitting the houses of others, or building and funding solar plants.
I think you're just being intellectually dishonest if you can't imagine some compromise between what you started with and what you have here, given the feedback you've received.
I agree that FB could capture a fitness market a small fraction of Peloton's for this use. No one ever got fired for mimicking Peloton's business model.
Is there any downside to waiting and seeing?

I still have an account because I like to connect with other people of similar interests.
We really need to drop OpenSSL... It's same as Sendmail and Bind before - permament and guaranteed vulnerability.
That’s the thing. The acquisition was completed today but you wouldn’t know it from the HN front page.
Maybe the current iteration of Windows is exactly that, extended life support and bare essentials while leeching revenue via ads.
This wins comment of the year for me
I don't understand what it does. It shows me where hot code is, but where is it being optimized? Is it changing my source file? Does it create a 'compiled/optimized' copy of my source file? Is it an alternative interpreter?

I haven't tried running / using it, I've just read the pypi documentation.
Well, there is a mechanism that largely prevents this, but it isn't genetic.

Say you're a rabbit, and you have a bunch of rabbit babies, and they eat all the grass and leave less grass growing. Their babies will die young and the population will stabilize around necessary resource availability.

What happens is increasing infant mortality and starvation. The interesting thing is, you never actually get to a global state of overpopulation, you get osculating population numbers between generations that are very stable.

The stabilization of human population now is the same phenomenon, but also has to do with technological advancement. As standard of living rises for a population, they become accustomed to abundance. This abundance is different from times past, in the past the more children you had the more labor you had so the more abundance you had. This created more pressure to reproduce than to reduce the number of mouths you need to feed. Since resource availability is becoming decoupled from availability of human labor the opposite incentive now dominates, and people naturally reduce reproduction to maintain personal comfort. This has the emergent, not deliberate effect of doing the same for the larger population.
