For what it is worth, I am a trans person.

I believe Babylon Bee should've been suspended not because of any moral issue but because Twitter was not a governmental entity, and thus had any right to set policies as preconditions for its users' use of the service. No existing social media company is a public communications carrier. I wouldn't argue for the DNC having a right to have a Parler account, either.

I'm a poor choice to defend being transgender to those who choose to be biased against it, because I dislike being placed in the position to argue. I just don't see it as fruitful because recent science seems to suggest it's useless: people don't change their mind about things they view as political unless personally affected by a one-on-one interaction.

I found these [1][2] to be a far better argument scientifically. Sociologically, I find the concept's existed forever and a day, such as one of the Roman emperors, the historical role of eunuchs and two-spirits, or even more quiet acceptances in families. It's not new. What's new is that the focus that was first on black people and then on gay people has been shifted to transgender people (although certainly the first two groups still suffer persecution - but are not now the continual topic of the Republican Party's admonitions and legislation).

As for a lot of what's controversial, it's never been before. Name changes have been a routine legal process for decades now. And, honestly, it's not a matter of asking for anything special in 99.9% of situations, it's just a matter of treating someone with respect and kindness, or at least with the absence of hostility.

My own personal feelings are not really relevant, but I will say briefly, for what it's worth, that everything inside me tells me I am a woman - and I am a self-perceptive person and have done a lot of self-questioning since I realized. The phrase 'misgendering' is a nice, obscure term - what it is, is actively, hostilely choosing to call someone something that hurts them. If you were a male and not the epitome of machismo, do you remember being a child and being called the feminine version of your name on a playground as a taunt? In many cases, most found that effective in hurting them. Why? You were being misgendered.

I'm merely presenting all of the above because no one else trans has appeared in this thread yet. I don't really wish to "fight" the position but I do feel responsible for presenting a viewpoint alternate to everything that's been discussed here already.

Very interesting finding, though since it's only found in 20% of people with RA they studied it's clearly not the only culprit. It seems more clear with each new study that autoimmune diseases like RA are more of umbrella conditions than specific diseases (and I suspect largely microbial in pathogenesis). RA has also been associated with Prevotella copri [1] and Porphyromonas gingivalis [2].

Exciting discovery nonetheless, and hopefully can help lead to better outcomes for people struggling with RA.

I well remember when Ford Chairman, William Clay Ford Jr, said the company would have level 4 self driving by 2021. Well the year 2021 came and passed with no announcement from the company.

The Detroit auto press is saying this was Ford's decision and that VW only went along because it couldn't find another partner willing to invest billions but who knows?

If Elon Musk (or even GM) is able to pull the rabbit out of the hat on self driving this could be quite a blow to Ford and VW. But why keep throwing billions away while seeing scant progress?
I also usually watch from subscriptions (I am subscribed to 100s of channels). But I do like the home page and recommendations for discovering new channels! In my experience it actually captures what I like to watch a lot (perhaps because I subscribe to a lot of stuff and like many videos).
In most applications crimping offers better vibration resistance and better conductance. Most solder is on the order of 10x as resistive as pure copper, or more.

Welding can be better than solder or crimp, but it's uncommon except for applications like wire-bonding and battery cell termination.

In general, any application where you have a fixed end on one side and a free end on another (wire to board, wire to panel, wire to X), a crimp termination is by far the better choice.

It's difficult to take your comment seriously.

Twitter users contribute to Twitter's capital by virtue of reified social relations(capital) and the content they create. Yet, the users who create this capital have no say in the handling of the value they create. Instead it's a single person. Any analysis that doesn't take this into account is fundamentally flawed and willfully neglectful to the point of absurdity.

I can only hope it's a joke.

I don't have a reference for it. I simply went to LinkedIn and searched for Data Engineers at Twitter, and looked at their bulleted lists of what they do in the role.

I got the impression that it was a relatively small team, but someone close to Twitter could tell me I'm 100% wrong about that, and I wouldn't be shocked.
> Economic forces will have a major impact on the willingness for the population to resist en masse so it may simply be a matter of timing.

If that happens, there is no reason at all to imagine there will be unified non-violent protest leading to the peaceful stepping down of the US government in favor of something less oppressive.

You only have to look at what has happened in other countries where the populous has been impoverished.
It can be great for freedom of speech. Hopefully, it won't distract Elon too much from SpaceX, Tesla, and other important work.

I still don't get how he managed to be CEO of multiple high-complexity companies. It's already not easy to be CEO of just one.
Prediction: Brain drain at Twitter begins as Elon starts enacting unpopular policies. Valuation tanks. Morale becomes non-existent and Twitter slowly starts to fade from existence while competitors begin to fill the void. I give it 3-5 years before it's gone full husk.
I think the content not sucking is orthogonal to the design of the page not sucking.
Who knows if that rumor is true, but it would be another red flag with Elon's approach. I can understand clearing out the old leadership team on day 1, but how quickly could Musk possibly know that there is no one on this team that could provide value to Twitter with different management or in some other role? Shooting first and asking questions later is not a good approach to managing a billion-dollar company.
I think the thing to watch will be ads and other revenue streams. Most companies aren't going to want their ads next to 'free for all' content, so we'll see what happens.

I feel like this techcrunch article itself violates hacker news policies because it has numerous personal attacks and deriding commentary throughout the article. Including calling the purchase of twitter a "toy".

More so calling it "crowning himself CEO" as if that wouldn't be automatically required if you layoff the existing CEO. A temporary CEO would be required until a new CEO is found.

Yeah which seems like a bland day-one target.
It's a real story that CNBC reported a fake story, and that's all the updated title says.

(Actually, I don't know what the title says because I see two different titles. In Feedly it says "CNBC reporting that..." but here on this page it says "Departing Twitter employees...". If the title was updated to be correct, I'd expect the Feedly copy to be old and this copy to be current. I'd also generally expect an aggregator (Feedly) to be less authoritative and less current than the source (HNn), yet in this case the Feedly title is correct and what I see right here in my browser on a phone is incorrect, or rather, not updated anyway. So, thanks to the existence of editing and unknown caching in unknown places/layers, I have no way to say what the title even is, and so no way to say if it's correct or not.)

This may sound like a distinction without a difference, but it is explicitly illegal to give money directly to politicians in the United States. Lobbying is giving money to their campaign committees, which get them elected or re-elected. It is also explicitly very illegal for campaign committees to use their funds to do anything for the candidate -- there are a huge[0] number[1] of politicians[2] who have been severely[3] penalized for flouting campaign finance laws. Further, there are severe restrictions on what the campaign committee can use their money for, which is largely restricted to travel for the campaign, advertising, and paying campaign staff.

These are just some recent examples of federal politicians who have run afoul of these laws, but they apply at all levels of government, as well as to staff (both campaign staff and the official staff of elected officials).

I took this as a cue and searched some loaded terms.

"vaccines" and "covid 19" had decent results, mostly people's blogs and some sites trying to prevent misinformation.

"abortions" mostly gave statistics, a blog by a 14-year old student in China, and an extensive collection of writings in support of Ayn Rand and against Noam Chomsky.

"trump" gives the most perplexing results, which I don't really know how to describe. Interestingly, the Rand/Chomsky page shows up here too.

I suppose it depends on your definition of suckless, but all the sites that were returned were lightweight, and content-first. As for the content... interesting might be the word I'd use. And it definitely doesn't show up in mainstream engines.

The primary issue is that once the ailerons were fully deflected, the control display turned green - even if they were deflected in the wrong direction.

Tik Tok Conversations coming soon ...
> I once had a conversation with a "Business Guy" and I brought up the concept of "technical debt." Their response was "Oh! Great! We have lots of cash right now and can add more programmers later to pay down the debt, but only if we release something very, very fast!" -- While the concept of technical debt make sense to me, a software person, the business guy's response was "debt is something that can help you if used strategically." We changed over to using the phrase "Delivery Molasses" because the more of it you got, the harder it was to move through it.

To continue the analogy, perhaps the disagreement was what the interest rate is on technical debt? Or that viewing it as "debt" makes you think throwing money at the problem can fix it quickly, when it has to be paid down through labor instead?
With a strong vision for freedom of speech and actual value enforcement (edit: of the transparency value, not just start censoring the other side), it would attract the right people. We can argue the recent dilution of Twitter's values to meddle with U.S. politics was the actual brain drain.

It's hateful in the sense that it's very derisive in the culture of the target and Babylon Bee has a large enough audience that the individual is likely to receive targeted threats as a result.

Reach and influence are important, because they impact the magnitude of what a derisive comment can do to a target.

You saying, "lol, man!" In your living room has no reach, it won't cause harm. The Bee saying it has huge reach, and when aimed at a specific minority individual can lead to serious harm.

SpaceX is private and is dependent on government contracts that come with numerous strings attached.

Similarly, Musk at Twitter is beholden to the big boys that actually put up the majority financing for this absurd purchase. He cannot just do whatever he wants, only what his consortium will be on board with.

If you can set up a canary, you can set up a staging environment. Once you set up a staging environment, it's a matter of sending the traffic you want to send to staging. That's trivially done by vending out cookies to those you wish to send to the staging environment.

I don't see much point in staging anything but business logic. I don't see the point in staging in any way that isn't "live."
Ironic considering Babylon Bee was just unbanned even though they violated TOS.

Also ironic that his goal was to promote free speech and painted moderation as evil.

It is beyond me that I am downvoted for pointing the irony of the situation.

So many proponents of free speech have so few regards to give for TOS and have the audacity to demand service without abiding to it. It seems that HN is no longer a bastion of honest discussion and has been overrun by certain individuals.

>He is intimidated. B

You started off saying he's an ex-googler. His resume is probably pretty respectable? Someone with a good resume is likely not intimidated. This 'second rate company' could collapse tomorrow and he's really not worried. He'll find the next spot; so why be intimidated. I find the more senior engineers generally understand this.

You say he's egotistical. Egotistical people are never intimidated. So I'm curious by your contradiction.

>I'm as good or better than him.

You are comparing yourself to him as the rookie on the team? He has an immediate advantage of understanding the company's infrastructure from experience. You may well be better than him despite this huge disadvantage but that's not the problem. You should never compare yourself to others. You may only compare yourself to yourself of yesterday. Are you better off today than you were yesterday?

I'm curious, you're a rookie, where are you coming from? Presumably not google.

In your previous position(s) did you have someone similar?

Prediction: Twitter becomes more efficient, focused and profitable than they ever have been. And it will return to the platform neutrality and free speech ideals it had prior to 2015ish.
Not really. Look at pretty much any reality TV show, or the magazines at any checkout line. Nonsense and drama is big business from an attention and advertising standpoint.

Plus, you can look at most biased news sources and see the drama that they selectively cover under the guise of news. "1 person did a bad thing" and "here's another reason why this entire group is conspiring against you" are not uncommon tropes.
I don't see any outages on the map you linked. However I think this is a case where, believe it or not, the invisible hand is going to do the right thing. Most (all?) electric cars have settings to prioritize charging in the daytime or late night, when TOU power is the cheapest (the grid is most stressed around 5-9pm, when solar is less productive but demand is still high).
It is quite common in LBOs to terminate entire departments, what is unusual is the speed this is being executed.

Elon maintains he purchased Twitter to preserve free and open communication, indicating this wouldn’t have been possible with the now previous leadership. Maybe he also purchased it because, at one time, he thought it was undervalued. Either way, the solutions to realize either goals would be like any other LBO, downsizing and restructuring. This scale of layoffs shouldn't be a surprise.
Brain drain? Twitter stock basically hasnt appreciated since IPO. They have been treading water for a decade, what brains are there providing value?
