In this context we are talking about Musk using developers he trusts to review Twitter's codebase. Isn't that exactly the same thing? Musk wants an understanding of Twitter's code, so he brings in people to establish that knowledge and convey it to him.

Thanks, sincerely, for the note on language. I've used that insult a lot in the past.

I also had a string of international students do things like complain I was racist for asking questions and answers be repeated back in English, not just Mandarin. (And they weren't from Taiwan.)

It's true that America has no official language, but when folks like myself expressed that sentiment in the policy space, it was with the intent if someone speaks French, Spanish, or one of the many languages of the Native Americans could be given services in a manner they understad, as is their human right.

It was not a rhetorical devie meant to me wielded by agents of a foreign power.

I ended up accepting an alaprazolam script, following a string of failed antidepressants, navigating the social mileau of "they treat me like an international student because I know who the spies are and refuse to just... hire me somewhere... as their system crashes around them"

This was in the lead up to, and during, the Summer of Snowden -- I was really pissed that no one would hire me into private industry and civil society... well all I can say about so called "civil" society is Epstein didn't kill himself.

You should consider reducing the intensity and increasing the length of your cardio. You burn more fat at lower intensities. At high intensity, you burn exclusively carbs. Check out https://uesca.com/carbohydrate-vs-fat-burning-a-comprehensiv...

It's not quite that simple, obviously, but if your goal isn't to increase your running pace but rather just to stay in shape, I'd definitely consider running slower. If you run regularly, 150bpm indicates a moderate-high level of intensity (assuming you're not super young), rather than an easier pace which would consume more fat.

As someone ignorant to this space, considering the PCB is already shorter than the heatsink, I assume the problem is more of re-arranging other components on the PCB than the actual physical space the final product takes up.
You should remove this altogether; it's definitely a prank. These two people didn't actually work at Twitter, and as of right now there haven't been any layoffs (outside of 4 executives being fired).
They do! Maybe you're on a bubble? HN is a terrible bubble to be in on that regard

Elon Musk's plan _literally_ 3 weeks ago was to complain to the judge that too many bots were on Twitter, and therefore Elon Musk doesn't have to buy Twitter.

Some of us have more memory than a goldfish ya know? It wasn't even a month ago that Elon Musk was 100% full tilt "too many bots on Twitter / Twitter not worth this money".

We get that Musk has to _pretend_ that he likes the company now. But we all know its the judge who forced him to do this.

It is difficult to take comments like this seriously. Are you serious?

Do you really believe that Elon Musk's role in the U.S. is akin to people like Roman Abramovich or Mikhail Prokhorov who literally robbed Russia of state owned assets during the market reform period? Does he compare to China's princelings, whose insane power over 1 billion+ people is derived almost solely from their being born to the Chinese communist political elite?

Those are examples of real oligarchy. Musk is an example of an outsized success story in a free country. He bought Twitter using the assets he gained in the building of Tesla and SpaceX–two companies of crazy high importance and utility to society.

The people fired are in an at-will employment arrangement in the most lavishly compensated industry in the world, at a company that has dramatically underperformed against its potential and (former) peers for years.

Twitter has long been seen as the worst example of unproductive, entitled employees that has become emblematic of the rot-from-riches that is rife within tech.

These people will be just fine, and they will (freely) find other jobs.
I think it's because Musk plans to un-ban a lot of... controversial people.
One important thing to remember is that Elon had access to Twitter data for quite some time and you can be certain his team has built tooling to do whatever Elon wanted. It won't be a mature system, surely, but it will be in place.
Your most frequent actions aren't necessarily everyone's. I very rarely use the watch later feature. Maybe they are doing user testing.
Twitter is old enough to alienate users if non trivial changes are made, but it has also not gone anywhere for years in terms of product development. I'm curious about Musk's plan to escape that complicated vicious cycle. I wouldn't be surprised if the first phase involves firing a bunch of quiet quitters and people who add no value to the business.

From an engineering point of view I can think of a few things I would like to play with if I worked for Twitter, Elixir Liveview being one of them. There is a lot of nice tech that would suit Twitter 2.0 and simply didn't exist at old Twitter's peak.
The difference is a highly engaged set of authoritarian activists who will assassinate your character and get you fired. Other groups don't have the equivalent of a Red Guard to enforce their ideology or religion.

Turns out they are NOT Twitter emoployees. Whoops.
Your current design employs passive tags. Those rfid tags are lit up by the scanner, and thus must be in very close proximity. There's nothing (that i know of) that will report its data passively over that distance.

Alternatives could be Bluetooth beacons or something bespoke, but that will require powering the tags... increasing cost and complexity of operation.

Edit: you can use computer vision approaches (like qr codes) if you have line of sight to each box. But that's not guaranteed if I interpret your problem correctly)

Edit 2: if you do use RFID but position the reader near the trunk opening and scan each box as it enters the trunk, you can keep a running total of the weight added to the car. That might strike the best cost/effort/result balance given these constraints...
That's what I'm thinking, too. EVGA seems like a pretty reliable manufacturer in my experience, their bus-powered 1050 Ti lasted me 7 years and still runs in my brother's PC, to my knowledge. Wouldn't surprise me if Nvidia rejected some board revision EVGA suggested, which led to the ensuing fallout.
They've also hidden away the "save to playlist" button, making it extra clicks to do.
That is discussed in this thread, but it's not clear what's going on with that story (comments are saying it was a prank, and the originally submitted tweet has been deleted):

Not for everyone.
We develop software for others and most of our customers have staging access.

So they can see development happening, can check or approve changes or can see if the api change they made breaks anything.

They are usually very happy about this and keeps away tons of problems in prod.
When the new owner immediately fires whole top management, that's much more than mere "change of ownership". It's hostile takeover. By someone who has repeatedly shown very naive approach to freedom of speech.
On the other hand, my life would be immeasurably improved if Reddit was "ruined" enough that I wasn't compelled to waste so much time on it anymore.
That's the beauty of private ownership - the owner can derive use-value in any way they wish. A private owner could fire everyone, close up shop, and still be perfectly inline with the use-value they expected to achieve with their purchase. That's market realism in action. Who are we to say what's good or bad of it. That's what the market is for - to transmute money into value and vice versa.
Reminds me of deep blue not knowing what to do and moving randomly while being white in the first match against Kasparov. It won.
Staging in the cloud, with every resource being defined via infrastructure as code is actually not too bad. Staging is hard when your software is poorly written or your infrastructure is janky. A lot of the value in beta, staging, and then prod is the fact that the code ran successfully twice (even if with no real data), before getting to prod. This roots out a surprising number of bugs. Throw in some light integration testing and youre a professional

There are plenty of upper-middle-class people who live in a high cost-of-living area and are spending 50% on rent. Rich people additionally will have most of their cash tied up in business deals that won't resolve until way later.

> Personally, I'm not at all: I can spend hours in VR and not mind at all. Others are sick in moments.

For me, it depends on the game.

I can play Beat Saber or PokerStars VR for hours and not care.

Assetto Corsa or MS Flight Simulator? As soon as the car/plane starts moving, I get queasy. I can only handle a single lap around the Nurburgring before I have to take a 30 minute break to let my stomach recover. In MS Flight Simulator, I gotta stick to large aircraft that maneuver very slowly and have massive cockpits.

I'm fairly sure my experience is pretty common, which is why I always feel people are doing a MASSIVE disservice to VR adoption when they let someone try VR for the first time and it's a racing game or a roller coaster simulator.

> The "heavy headset" thing I don't really feel either - I have a Valve Index for chrissakes - but again other people will have a different experience.

When I had an HTC Vive, it felt heavy on my face. When I updated to an Index, it was a world of difference. The strap design on the Index does a much better job of putting the weight of the headset on the top of your head, spread over the strap.

I don't know about any of Meta's headsets.

The failure doesn't necessarily have to happen at the junctions for the junctions to be a cause. It also makes sense that the edge pins would heat up more because they're both surrounded by less mass and a likelier conduit to distribute current and heat based on the resistivity of the shown wiring.

Reminds me of the molded MOLEX to SATA adapters for HDDs that suffer from similarly shoddy wiring design and are prone to melting/fires. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fAyy_WOSdVc

There is an actual, honest-to-goodness, standardized, current, Shell Command Language now. It's part of POSIX.1-2017 or, if you like, IEEE Std 1003.1-2017.

Perhaps not surprisingly, it's bourne shell, not bash. But still, it's an actual published standard all can refer to when the language in question is "shell scripts", i.e. .sh files, or "shell commands" in some context where a shell command is called for (e.g. portable makefiles).

That's not what I'm talking about. Minor stories about this acquisition have had thousands of comments. The CEO is fired and not a single link?
Not really. It's not just 1 billionaire replacing another billionaire.

Twitter was public and is now private. That's a huge difference.

It's not just any billionaire. It's literally the richest person in the world. That also makes a difference.

The idea that the only reason this is in front page news is changes in censorship policy does not seem to follow considering nearly every other major purchase makes it to the front news. Michael Dell taking Dell private was heavily in the front page news. There were no censorship policy concerns there.

Not specific to Twitter but as I understand it. Generally a data engineering team will setup the pipelines and ETL processes to turn transactional data into aggregate data necessary to run analytics.
That sounds like the move of someone who wants specifically-selected very loyal people designing systems which would tell you what's actually happening on the platform.
> Facebook is much less than what the technofeudalists make it out to be: It’s an advertising platform that wrings pennies out of users’ scrap time — attention that would otherwise go to waste, at least from the capitalist perspective. Behind all the claims about changing the world with technology is a crew of digital ragpickers.

Hmm. "Scrap time that goes to waste?" Doesn't that depend on how that time is used and the opportunity cost. That time could be a hobby, social interaction or trying something that could be super valuable. To capitalism. To the human experience.

Another common error around surveillance capitalism, is to apply the average to deprecate the harm. Statics on average screen time are pretty large

https://explodingtopics.com/blog/screen-time-stats

7 hours - thats the average. Some of that time might have been productive.

What does the 10% worst percent look like? How much of that is "waste?".

I confess I don't know what technofeudalism precisely is. I do think the corrosiveness of tech such as social media, phone use and surveillance capitalism in general is underestimated.
This might have been a prank.
> cost cutting MBA bro

Clearly you don't know anyone at Twitter. This company is known for having the least productive workforce of any major techco. We're talking people pulling 10 hour work weeks. Additionally, cost cutting isn't the sole province of MBA bros. It's a basic reality of operating a company. Silicon Valley has really lost its mind during the free money era. Some of us don't even understand the basic realities of a business anymore.
also at every level, where you are expected to file forms or deal with any officials, you will be asked to pay some bribe, and there will be 'agents' who offer to do it for you using whatever illegal means they can, for a 'fee', and in many cases they are the only feasible way of getting it done. This happens in every corrupt economy/country but in India its an art form and taken to its logical extreme.
Tangential, but I learned the other day that if you have access to a 3D printer, there are a lot of free designs for RPi cases on the STL-sharing sites.

Took a look at these.

Some should be deleted. "End white people" is arguably a call to violence akin to what gets the right banned.

Some lack context. The first one, for instance, still exists but it's a reply to a tweet that doesn't. It's possible this is sarcasm.

Some are clearly in bounds, like, what's Jack May's tweet saying that should be against the rules? (Third column). Or Lena Dunham arguing that we're not causing the extinction of white men? Or someone saying, "can you cite a recent example of a figure expressing racism against white people?"

And then there are all the "I hate white people" comments. Personally we're likely to disagree about them. I think it's important to contextualize history and who has power when you moderate. Punching up is different than punching down, in my opinion. It's different to say "I hate the wealthy" and "I hate the poor". "I hate a minority" is different than "I hate the majority [who have a history of being oppressors]". I think it's really tacky for these folks to tweet this, and it's not something I'd tweet, so for me it falls into a grey area. I can reasonably see your argument that these are the same as, e.g., "I hate gay people" because it's expressing hate based on identity.

If Twitter went the way of saying "expressing hate towards an group based on traits they cannot control is against the rules" I'd say that I don't think that's nuanced enough, but I could live with it.

Thanks for sharing a source, it was interesting to dive in here.
Why even worse? I use youtube a LOT and I don't particularly dislike it.
I bought a used EV for $22K earlier this year. If gas drops to $5/gallon and stays there (and my commute stays similar) it will completely pay for itself in about 5 years, on saved gasoline alone.

The same used EV is $28K these days. I get the impression that no one can keep electric vehicles in stock (used or new).

this is absolutely amazing

i love it
Respectfully this is a non-issue. Every social network’s homepage looks exactly like mine - a short description and a log in form. Go to Twitter or Facebook and their homepage will look exactly the same. People are nitpicking. I also have multiple paragraphs explaining the app so I actually am more explanatory than most social networks. I recommend actually joining the site and seeing how it works before hopping onto the bandwagon from last year - I think that’s only fair
No. People are going to vote for populist parties which will promise easy solutions, which are usually also right from the center. No violence necessary.

Even heavy moderation cannot do anything, as evidenced by the Facebook message requests that I get that all say I am a bitch in bed.

Seriously, if it was up to me to design my own spam filter I could do a better job than they do.

Really I wouldn't mind there being no moderation on Twitter, but then have every user blacklist what they want from themselves.
That is totally fair and I don't have an explanation. I've probably just been tuning out the other Twitter stories so I didn't notice the inconsistency.
