There are two big problems with the use of `echo $s` in bash/POSIX sh:

1. Never use echo to output untrusted content as the first argument

Let's say `s='-e 1\n2'`, then `echo $s` will output:

> 1

> 2

Instead of:

> -e 1\n2

Always use printf if you want to start output with untrusted content, e.g., `printf %s\\n "$s"`.

2. Never use unquoted variable expansion when trying to exactly reproduce contents of the variable

Similarly, unquoted variable expansion re-tokenizes the contents and will not preserve spaces appropriately. Say `s='"a<space><space>b"'` (where each <space> is a literal ' ', HN seems to be collapsing 2 spaces down to 1), then `echo $s` will output:

> "a<space>b"

Instead of:

> "a<space><space>b"

You can get the latter with `echo "$s"` but use `printf %s\\n "$s"` to fix both issues.

PS: If you fail to use quoted expansion with printf, for example like so, `printf %s\\n $s`, then you'll notice the problem right away, as it will effectively turn that into `for i in $s ; do printf %s\\n "$i" ; done`. That's actually a very useful feature of printf if you know to use it.

Edit: These problems exist for bash/POSIX sh at least. Perhaps you're using a shell that works differently, like zsh, because otherwise issue 2 would probably have led to some checksum fails for you already.
I find it really distracting that the mainstream media writes about Musk in such derisive style. Do journalists find him threatening in some way? Do the leftwing-dominated media resent him for supporting Republicans? Do they think we’re not smart enough to critically appraise Musk ourselves?
I was thinking of it just from a moderation perspective. Elon, who knows.
In regards to what you’ve mentioned about hitting back on Twitter and losing your scroll position - I think this is a difficult technical problem so solve in an elegant and reproducible way.
We’ve attempted to address this back location issue at my work for an “infinite scroll” feature and can only get it right about half the time and believe that’s handled mostly by the browser.
We’ve specifically looked at how YouTube handles this - and it’s about the same success rate for them.

Oh well even HN will always mess up your scroll position when hitting back so it goes
Tesla sells every car they produce before they build them, and there are multi-month waiting lists. They don't need to go downmarket. If they build many more of the cars they already sell, they will make a lot more money.
Great point on alias, thanks. I think that was a relic of an older iteration.

I'll work through these suggestions. Appreciate it. Feel free to send a PR if you want.

For the here string I think that won't work because the file isn't being saved locally, it's just being piped (so $2 is a URL). I can't do the usual `shasum -c <<< "132e320edb0027470bfd836af8dadf174e4fee00 install.sh" which takes a local filename but not the file content. As far as I could tell anyway. I'll try it some more
To many, a simpler product is more appealing to a greater number of users. I feel like the idea of "convention over configuration" went to an unnatural extreme in the world of product design - every choice you give a user is an admission that you as the creator of the app don't know what the user wants in this particular case, and you have to let them tell you. For this reason, you may want to stick to what you know.

At the same time, there is some pipe dream that the app can just give the user a 100% ideal experience with virtually no input on the user's part. What this really means is less optionality for users who want it.

Lastly, in any company there are going to be people fighting against complexity to keep things maintainable, scalable etc. The product gets sacrificed for the organization.
Ah. The trick is that most of the time, news articles only compare with France's inflation numbers which are much lower than the rest of Europe - so this makes it seem like only the UK is suffering from this problem. A lot of public enthusiasm to rejoin the EU semes to be based on this kind of completely false, media-constructed belief that they don't have the same problems and therefore the UK wouldn't either if not for Brexit.

(France's debt-to-GDP ratio and I think possibly their deficit as well is worse than the UK's and even less compliant with Eurozone rules. This is probably directly linked to their lower inflation since they're reliant on heavily subsidising energy prices to keep that down.)
Exactly my point. So, it will always be limited in market size and hence it may be a gamechanger for a subset of the use-cases, such as the ones I mentioned, but not from an financial standpoint.
Interestingly though, there's a slow but steady push towards 24V on boats.
More electronics are available in 24V version or simply support both 12V and 24V.
And new boats tend to have a 12V and 24V bank. Electric sailboats usually have a 48V bank as well.

And in an entirely different area, 3D printing completed their transition from 12V to 24V some years ago, and currently there's an active push towards 48V.

I'm personally just looking forward to not spend a fortune on cables due to low voltages.
It's frustratingly expensive to carry 12V a decent distance with some higher current draws.
Thank you for the post. Twitter is also the youngest company on your list. The percent spent on R&D goes done when the company get older.
That breaks down with coded language. If groups use code words or emojis they can change their coding faster than sentiment analysis models can be updated. Even if those models can be updated quickly the coding by users can be changed arbitrarily. They can also trivially add trivial positive text alongside the codes to get amplified.

Just as an example take the insipid "let's go Brandon" slogan. Sentiment analysis would rate that as a positive statement unless it was specifically flagged. That's a trivial example. There's untold numbers of covert meanings for emojis, even for banal things.
I work with a developer* who draws labelled boxes and arrows for diagrams and posts screenshots of code in response to questions I put to him. I can't say I've been able to find more than a handful of places where he's put words together into sentences and paragraphs. Getting useful information out of him is like pulling teeth. Even when he could link to code on the git server, e.g., he doesn't.

His screenshots are the worst-case scenario of lack of context – just a couple of dozen lines of code, no information about where, in what file, in which repo, he's given.

* We both work remotely and live in different states, nowhere near each other.
Dalton has a valid point, you're literally describing every social media site out there right now. Why is he in the wrong for doing the same?

Go to Twitter logged out, what do you see? How about Facebook?

Now, how do you view anything on these platforms while not a member? You have a link somewhere, a tweet, a facebook post, something someone shared that you clicked.

Now look at Vers... You think you can't see inside because you came to a door with no walls on either side and thought "I can't see unless I unlock that door" then walk away.

Want to peek into Vers without signing in, you need to find a link you can view, just like the rest of social networks you're used to.

Here, I took time out of my day to find a link for you. https://vers.social/@dalton

Two different calibre of engineers, doubt this will work out very well.
Social sciences aim to be descriptive, reflecting the understanding of cultures.

But also, gender is beyond just US liberal and conservative. Plenty of cultures around the world and throughout recorded history have had third genders and trans people, and they were not considered "weird". I believe sociologists are attempting to review human behavior across all spans and across cultures and compare even to animals (there are recorded instances of animals fulfilling reversed gender roles for their species).
The comments you are making on HN right this very moment are contrary to what you preach. HN owns the data on your account, not you.

I cannot assume your jurisdiction, but if one were to believe what you have stated, these assumptions would need to be true:

2) you do not belong to any single country (you need to be a nomad, as all modern countries have identification systems in place for their citizens)
3) you’re using internet at a cafe because if you are paying any bills to your ISP that’s game over

What basis do you have for this claim? People make these claims constantly so confidently, but wherever I look all I see is that dictators have always been willing to make their nations incredibly poor.

More to the point this isn't the Gordian Knot you think it is.

HTTPS isn't designed to prevent this. If you want to allow 'legitmate' access you just issues your own certs, and proxy requests. Universities etc can install your root cert and use your DNS servers.

That's absolutely true.

That's absolutely false. The United States tends to be much harder to press a defamation/slander case than many other territories. Perhaps you're thinking of the United Kingdom? They have much looser libel laws than the United States.

The job of a good lawyer is to predict what the judge is going to say after the client has wasted his money on litigating. The main purpose of going all the way to trial is if someone is lying. Then that's the job of the jury to determine who's lying and who's telling the truth.
> The only "diverse" opinion that has not been represented in Twitter moderation is the opinion of straight white males upset they can't spread vaccine misinformation, election misinformation, and deadnaming trans people without being reported and muted.

There is evidence that Twitter has been actively colluding with large pharmaceutical giants to target and purposefully ban those for being skeptical of them and the vaccine. [0] So one is not allowed to be skeptical and criticize that?

Perhaps everything on what is being read out on the news is the absolute truth then. Surely they can never be wrong. /s If we question the media and companies like PayPal or Twitter dislike that, then say goodbye to your account without giving a reason of what was violated [1] and in the case of the former you must pay a $2,500 fine for what they call 'misinformation'.

Weirdly enough, I remembered it as “the parts are in the order I'd intuitively expect, but the brackets are not”.
That was my first thought, too. On the other hand, if you're a local engineer who feels stuck in their current position it could be a good opportunity to fill the void.
Really bad timing.
In 2020 in Ottawa, a man rammed through the gates of the Prime Minister's residence with a vehicle. He was in body armour and carrying multiple firearms. He claims he just wanted to meet with the PM, who thankfully wasn't home at the time. Is Canada on the verge of civil war?

Multiple US presidents have been assassinated! Political violence is shocking but not actually so rare that we should latch on to any specific incident with particular meaning. It's particularly meaningless when it is the act of a single person who is somewhat deranged. If an organized group takes out a politician or other official, and this act had some support with the public, then we should start worrying.

If you are exposed to things on Twitter that are tweeted by people not personally known to you, IMHO you are using Twitter incorrectly. I have no idea why anyone gives a damn what the content moderation policies might be. Speaking for my own account I have never once seen anything said by Trump, Kanye, the pillow guy, any neo nazis, any anti-vaxxers, or anything like that. In what way are people using Twitter that makes them care?

With no judgement of morality here; this is Elon Musk. Yes absolutely he is.
Can you give an example of any other domain where the entire domain is changed every decade?

Space exploration comes to mind, but again, still based on physics and chemistry.

The problem with the digital domain is we're literally just dreaming this stuff up and then being surprised when everyone has a hard time securing those dreams.

I am tired of my every sneeze being tracked by the rest of the world. It is dystopia.

I can't read the page you linked because it is terribly broken with overlays, but from what I gather you are conflating "missing footage by policy" (specific units don't have cameras allocated to them) with "missing by malice" (officers intentionally subverting the system).

There is a bit of dogmatism in your argument. If you are convinced the police are evil to begin with, that is the only conclusion you are going to draw from the data you have.
Just more Team B style second-guessing analysis from intellectually compromised people to further partisan political goals.
> I discovered amazing content through this engine

Did you actually discover it through youtube's algorithms and discovery engine or was it linked to you by friends and you simply watched it on Youtube?

These are completely different things in this context.

> But the distribution capabilities are what makes Youtube what it is.

Hold on, I thought it was the recommendation engine? Which is it? Distribution is about economies of scale and good engineering, recommendation is about putting the user first, rather than monetization.
He implied in a few interviews that he wants to turn it into a WeChat version of the west. Doesn't 200M+ daily active users opens up that door.
Sunlight is the best disinfectant, lad.
It seems like he wants to make a second fediverse, but what is the point? Why not build upon the fediverse as it exists right now?

Maybe "we want to do what this existing technology does, but improve it a little" sounds much worse than "a revolutionary, decentralized approach to social media, allowing users to be part of an interconnected web of small configureable instances".
For many jobs, notice periods end up being given as severance packages. They keep paying you but don't want you to show up.

Maybe you're just wrong?

It's called a temporary suspension. Twitter asks you to acknowledge your tweet was bad by deleting it yourself. If you do, you get a time-out in the naughty corner for 12 hours, or a week, or whatever, and then you can tweet again. If you don't, you stay in the naughty corner. Whoever designed this process could stand to learn how to treat people like adults, in my opinion.
> People voluntarily leaving is not removing voices.

This is naive. If a Klan bar doesn't literally throw out Black people, they still are preventing Black people from being there by making the environment so unpleasant they cannot remain.

What kind of project is it that the storage size of text documents is a big deal? And why don't you use compression?
This is a catchphrase, not a thing that's actually true.
No it isn't. Small online communities are generally run as a dictatorship. If you disagree with the mods, well screw you.

In the real world it's a bit more nuanced because people care more about conflict in the real world. But even so there's usually a core group of people with similar beliefs and outsiders are pushed away.

In the corporate world conflicting viewpoints in e.g. religion or politics are generally dealt with by making talking about them taboo or explicitly banning it.

When you don't do that you get the mess that Google has found itself in several times recently where someone makes some comment that the majority disagree with (positive discrimination is bad, AI is sentient, etc) and other employees call for them to be fired.

I can't think of many groups that actually manage to get people with opposing viewpoints to get on with each other without just banning talking about them. Universities maybe. The army perhaps?
If your politics don't conflict with Elon's irreconcilably, and you don't get fired, I'd think it'd probably be a better situation than before. Elon is not a bad chief executive and has run several highly successful tech companies that have performed far better than Twitter.
All in one water loops aren't as great as they make them out to be. You still need fans on a radiator, they can be quieter because they're often larger. Pump failures are more common than fan failures and harder to repair. Traveling with a water loop is a nightmare unless you drain it first.

>Libel isn't legal in the US.

In order for something to be libel, you have to know it is false and intend for people to believe it is true. The litter box story for example was spread by a trolling organization with the intention of fooling people like LoTT and Tucker. It's not libel because they fell for it — it's stupid, but it's not libel. Likewise, the criticism of the The Trevor Project likely reflects a sincerely held belief that the known activities of TTP constitute "grooming", and not a measurable claim that TTP staff are actively engaging in activities conventionally understood as pedophilia. Also not libel.
Interesting, and thanks for the heads up on where to look. I head read that some of the original financial backers backed out of the deal
This might be true, in which case maybe he brings jack nack or another executive in? I think jack expressed he wasn’t interested.
I always find it strange when he positions himself as pro-democratic and pro-freedom when his actions say pretty much the opposite:

He is pushing for a political system/values which:

- doubles down on money == power, to a point where only money is power

- uses pretext of "freedom" to remove protections which limit in how much companies can abuse people, mainly in forms which move money from them to the companies.

But if you systematically make it easier to wide spread systematically move money from the demos (populace) to a selected few and make sure only money is power that is pretty clear cut anti-democratic. (I mean it basically remove the demo from democraty).

And sure this is somewhat true for all democratic states, but the question is how much and if you push for it getting worse. Which AFIK Musk does. (It's also why a lot of people which had looked into such power dynamics will look at you strangely when you tell them the US is a beacon of democracy, it isn't and never was. It is a beacon for capitalism combined with wealth, western culture, military might (in some order) and only then democracy. At least in my opinion.)

So what does that have to do with Twitter?

One of the main complains Musk has with it is how it did restrict "freedom of speech", except it mainly did so when that freedom was abused for spread hatred and misinformation, often with the intend to manipulate democracy to elect people pushing for less democracy. And he wants to remove that.

Now without question Twitter did a bad job at moderation, still I would be really surprised if Musk would improve that. I would love being surprised.

Another problem is that Musk has shown to be a petty person and has shown to abuse the power he has over his companies, e.g. to cancel a Tesla pre-order because of someone saying something he took offense with. Putting such a person in charge of a platform like Twitter looks like a recopy for disaster. Especially given that it's also used a lot by some minorities Musk seems to personally have a rather strong dislike for...

Now I would love to be wrong about this assessment. I personally might not be the biggest fan of Musk but what does that matter if he does manage to create a better twitter.

And even if he fails it might have positive effects, by e.g. enabling a better alternative platform to take it's place.
Up here in The Netherlands...
Do you not see how that same type of hate is already directed at white people? Sanity has lost if you have to be some sort of "crazy right winger" to see the blatant hate and racism directed at white people.

I'm writing this from a country that currently has a giant nationwide chain store that has a public "No Whites, Blacks Only" hiring policy.
I guess Musk is going to put less emphasis on outright bans, and more on “quarantining”. He might not ban an account posting racial slurs all day long, but it won’t be recommended, it won’t come up in search unless you set some special flag, and non-followers who visit it will get some kind of warning interstitial “Many users have reported this content as highly offensive, are you sure you want to view it?” Ads will only be displayed if the advertiser explicitly opts in.
