> Writing messages on Slack isn’t what engineers get paid for, though. Writing code to solve problems is.

Perhaps I'm being picky, but... that's also not what engineers get paid for, either.

I think engineers get paid to do things that solve problems. Sometimes that involves writing code, but sometimes it absolutely involves writing a Slack message, having a call, or just thinking a little more.

A Slack message might be, "Got a minute to chat?" to start a voice call that will clarify some requirement that's been bogged down in a quagmire of too much writing or conflicting ideas. Requirements are clarified, maybe not a single line of code is needed to be written, thanks to a better understanding of the customer's desires.

A Slack message might ask, "Does this change work instead?" with an image attached of a simpler approach.

I wouldn't typically respond to one line from a blog post, but since this was up so high in the post, I felt I needed to gently encourage a little rewrite of this sentence :)
Sure. The Oversight Board. Facebook did exactly this years ago.

Let’s see how popular that policy is once they make the site completely unavailable in Europe.
Step 1: fire leadership.

Step 3: hire fresh talent while recreating the corporate culture.

Pretty standard honestly.
Yes. They should not have included any adapter at all.

Those with older PSUs should have had to make a decision about whether they want an adapter or not, and then pick an adapter of the appropiate quality.
There is no valuation. It's now private. And I doubt an IPO is on the horizon. He's going to have to make money the old fashioned way

Fire is caused by heating something to its ignition temperature, and heat is a function of the conductor its flowing through just as much as it's a function of the current itself.

The current provided from a base-spec USB charger is enough to start a fire, given the right (er... wrong) conductor. Plenty of us remember lighting Estes rocket motors with flashlight batteries (zinc carbon, no less) as a kid.
This comment makes me sad because I left a place like this but I know good people who stayed behind even though it ruins their health and relationships.
A mechanical watch is a piece of jewelry. As such, it subject of fashion whims, fragility and limitations. But, what a pleasure!

I enjoy beauty of my skeleton. The tourbillon is absolutely mesmerizing. The alarm adds utility to the third timepiece. And so on...

A lot of mechanical watches has automatic winding nowadays. Watch winder is an easy and relatively cheap solution. I also had more problems with scratches on quartz, than with sapphire crystal.
But it doesn't end there... they block the CDN that implements this feature, and then the CDN's customers--who probably didn't care much about the benefits this gives to some of their users but are now losing access to some large customer base--start complaining and migrating off the CDN, which results in the CDN pulling back on the feature.

And we know this is what will happen as this is effectively what happened with domain fronting--where you simply use the wrong SNI instead of hiding it entirely--with all the large CDNs actively "fixing" this feature to prevent their customer's websites from being blocked by firewalls because of users who were using this to get around hostname restrictions.

What I want to see is Tesla come up with a sequel which is another hit. I feel like their car styling was comfortably out there when electric cars first came on to the scene but now it's become incredibly safe. Other companies, now they are building specific EVs rather than throwing some batteries in the back of an existing car and calling it an EV, are really starting to play with the concept and are making some great looking cars. Cars like the Ionic 5 and the Honda-E for example are making the Tesla's look old hat.
Most people have concluded that the "natural born" clause doesn't mean "born in," otherwise Ted Cruz would never have bothered to run. Of course, it hasn't been tested by the Supreme Court yet.

His issue is that he wasn't born a US citizen, not that he was born in South Africa.

The iGPU on Jasper Lake CPUs is actually pretty good, particularly for the price. Much more potent than previous iterations of this class of CPU.
That is expecting Google to prove a negative about the user. They probably don't want to have the obligation to verify that the user really is innocent. And police inaction is not evidence of that.
I don't buy that at all. Twitter has been able to withhold tweets from certain countries (e.g. EU) based on local laws, for many years. They can just keep doing that with China. You can't be held hostage if you just comply with the law and take a bunch of tweets down in China, which every company must do.
The clustering responds to which tweets are up- and down-voted by the agent.

And, the agent is moved closer to the clusters they like tweets from, and further from the clusters they dislike tweets from.

The more diverse your likes (likes tweets in many other clusters), the broader and less restrictive your cluster weighting is -- the more variety you see. The more restrictive your selection, the less variety.

You decide how much of an "echo chamber" you're in. But, if you don't like $BAD_THING, and you downvote enough tweets of $BAD_THING, the less you'll see tweets by people in groups where they like $BAD_THING.
I think at these sizes and weights, the GPU needs to become a board that you screw onto the case, like a second motherboard. Sagging solved. Now the noisy fan, replace it with a preinstalled water cooling block to be integrated with your overall cooling solution, voila: noise and weird airflow solved as well.

Quick update that the fraudulent site has indeed been suspended. This restores some confidence that things can happen with reporting, and I think it just took more people reporting it to finally get a result.

> And it will return to the platform neutrality and free speech ideals it had prior to 2015ish.

I'm not sure that's possible. Even if you could magically roll back Twitter to pre-2015 (staff, code, rules, etc.), the world has changed and the average Twitter user has changed.
> The Internet would have us believe that civil war is imminent.

The person who could arguably be considered the third most powerful politician in the US just had their own broken into and their spouse assaulted in a suspected act of domestic terrorism. I wouldn't say "imminent" but if you don't think the possibility is at least somewhere on the table I would consider that being naive.
Could be your adblocker sometimes blocking them, other times not?

Though it probably is some bug or... rapid A/B testing thing Google has going on.
Based upon his build up, this will be a fig leaf/scapegoat .

I don't see anything in his behaviour which would justify your "optimistic" outlook. Sure it won't degenerate in one of those gutter platforms right away but I doubt he'll be able to maintain an acceptable level as long as he's directly involved. He just doesn't make the the impression of an adult person.

imho this may end up being really good for the rest of the internet if it drives away interesting and important people to other platforms.

And conversely the US is one of the most restrictive nations on earth when it comes to speech that supposedly infringes Copyrights or can be interpreted as defamation/slander. The premise that US has anything resembling freedom of speech is completely untrue.

> the UK is globally important country

> Their historical connections to the USA

You are parroting brexiteers' talking points who think that it's still the end of the 19th century.

Reality is, while UK has (had?) a large enough economy to put it in the 6th place globally, it's simply dwarfed by EU, US, and China. As for Commonwealth... The Commonwealth has the EU, the US and China as the actual important global players. BTW, India's GDP has surpassed the UK's.

And you could see it during Brexit. The UK had to renegotiate trade deals with all the countries, and Commonwealth countries with which the UK has "historical ties" couldn't care less about these ties and the UK's looming deadlines. Speaking of India, there's still no trade deal with India. Meanwhile EU is India's third largest trade partner, after US and China. UK is... number 18. Truly global and important.

And this continues across the board. Companies had no issues relocating from London to EU countries to continue friction-free operation in one of the world's largest markets. London might not be the great big city for long, when momentum carrying it forward subsides.
It's phenomenal. There were dozens of thought provoking discoveries and conclusions drawn from what I had previously thought was an esoteric subject.

Unbelievable that you're getting downvoted for saying Twitter has smart employees.
> managing the exodus of users (size:?) that will happen regardless;

This is probably the biggest risk in this acquisition. Twitter wasn't doing anything special, and it's easy to launch a clone of their business model. Elon's talking about taking an axe to the things that keep the lights on at Twitter: effective content moderation and talent.

As long as Tesla doesn't own the Li suppliers or mining rights, it doesn't matter how much Tesla got in the past, because going forward all other EV makers, or battery makers, will get their volumes as well. Prices will spike, in which case past contracts can help to buffer that.

And assuming Tesla has a squezze on Li supplies, laws prevent the use of that control to hurt competitors. Braking these laws carries enough fines in all major markets that they will be adhered to.
Twitter: 'We are the free speech wing of the free speech party' (2012)
Redefining terms seems new, but it's a traditional rhetorical tactic. I think it's on the uprise. I think it's a sneaky, deceptive tactic.

Because we are still in the era of trying to move from 3V/5V to 12V!

Power Supply Manufacturers and Board Manufactures can't still agree on this little step. 24V/48V is a bridge too far!

Same issue has been plaguing the automobile industry, they can't wait to move from 12V to 48V for their low voltage works, but who will bell the cat?
Conservative: makes claims, provides sources.

Leftist: makes claims, can't be bothered to cite anything to support them.

If only this weren't a typical pattern!

No leftwing popular media? Are you joking? Even left-leaning "bias" sites show that the biggest names in news as being on the left: https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/new-york-times/

And for AP: https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/associated-press/

My only disagreement is to replace "left-center" with far-left.
My understanding was the goal behind Brexit - once you stripped away all the political marketing - was to create a tax and regulatory haven inside of Europe, as a means of competing with places like Dubai. It was never about providing any material benefit to the average Briton.

I suppose it's not the dumbest idea. But the conservative party indulged too many eurosceptic cranks, turning it into an "us vs them" sort of deal, alienating would-be European partners who would become clients of such a tax/regulatory haven. Such clients either stick with the EU as a show of solidarity or just park their holdings outside of Europe as to not "take sides" in the messy Brexit ordeal.

To make matters worse, the conservative party ultimately lacked the fiscal discipline necessary to make the necessary tax cuts without ballooning debt. They needed the political will to make deep, painful cuts to government services, but instead chose to run against austerity. You can't have it both ways!

IMO they should abandon this boondoggle of a political project, rejoin the EU, and give up their extreme tax and regularity plans and go back to providing good public services to citizens.
Wasn’t the Model 3 the “low cost” one? Is there supposed to be a cheaper one?

If you choose to downvote lots of $SOMETHING, you'll move further away from groups where they like $SOMETHING, and see less tweets about it probably.

The Years of Experience Myth (2008)
Shows up for me.

Here's the text of it in case others can't see it:

> Twitter will be forming a content moderation council with widely diverse viewpoints.

> No major content decisions or account reinstatements will happen before that council convenes.
My limited experience is that people with money can still influence companies, even if there aren't formal paths. Share owners still have influence.

And people who lend money typically have contracts and the ability to seize assets if they don't get paid. (I have no idea what the $13B of loans looked like, but can't imagine they were personal, non-recourse loans.)
Personal usage it is still an issue. If you have a problem you to send it back in most cases and be without a replacement. The best move is usually to buy a new one, time machine over to it, use it during the repair window, time machine back to your original after the repair and then return the new one. Still unless you are a total basket case with the care of your laptop you are better off saving your money.
Ehh, pretty believable.
Distance:

2.4 billion light years
= (2.4 * 10^9) * (6 * 10^15) meters
= 15 * 10^24 meters away! (approximately)

Area of emission sphere at contact with Earth:

4 * pi * (15 * 10^24 meters)^2
= 2 * 10^50 meters^2 sized sphere when passing Earth (approximately)

The amount of energy that must have been spread out over that sphere shaped wave, so any discernible signal reached Earth, much less interacted noticeably with our atmosphere ... simply incredible.
Part of his pitch during the acquisition was charging for embeds, so I would not be making any bets on the API loosening up
That's a very selective reading of the article. Twitter boosts things that attract more views and shares. Outrage generates those views. But why would mainstream right-wing politicians and articles generate more outrage on Twitter than non-rightwing content?

That only makes sense if Twitter is predominantly anti-right wing, and people who are anti-rightwing get outraged by rightwing nonsense more than leftwing nonsense, and thus rage-click, share and comment on that content more.
The Euro has a single monetary policy. The benefit is less trade friction. The draw back is that monetary policy may not fit well with the general economy. This is what Greece experienced, the loss of currency control made other European businesses a lot more competitive.
I think that describes every sociopath that uses that neurotic platform.....
Thank God we have Twitter to protect us against Evil Ideas like the lab leak hypothesis. Only an evil Trump supporter would oppose such a policy.
Exactly, that's what I mean by "on rails". Imagine sliding a server PSU into place and it latches as it seats... do that but with a "GPU module". The case itself needs to be part of the support to fix GPU sag, and that's only possible with dimensional and connectical standardization.

Smaller stuff that still reflects the "add-in-card" intention of the original design is fine, you can still have a bunch of PCIe slots for network cards and USB controllers if you want. But the GPU is not really an "add-in-card" anymore and it's problematic in a design sense to keep acting like it is, let alone to have every single product on the market doing something completely different dimensionally.

That's the "pre-USB-micro" era problem that USB faced.

There's no need for water though, that's a whole can of worms.
I think, it is reasonably explained here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enlargement_of_the_eurozone

They are required to adopt the Euro, as soon as they fulfill the Convergence criteria
Those convergence criteria include "Compatibility of legislation", and Sweden simply doesn't make their laws compatible. (Details here: https://ec.europa.eu/info/sites/default/files/economy-financ...)

In summary, they have to join, if they are compliant.
For that they have to pass laws, and they chose not to.
So, it isn't quite as mandatory as some people paint it.

To quote from the report:

> The Swedish authorities are invited to remedy the
abovementioned incompatibilities
This site has a downvote button and an upvote button. The fact that people use that feature of the site (downvote), means the site is working as intended. It is not censorship.
Lately I often have trouble finding the date/time a youtube video was posted. Sometimes I find it when I open the description box, but not always.
> Documentation helps a little bit but there is a gulf between "describing what it is and how to use it" and "knowing enough to find where the problem is.

That is one of my pet peeves with modern development. A lot of things are way too easy to get started with, while very few people understands what is going on. And then when things doesn't work so well, there are even more tools and frameworks that can be deployed without understanding, but that in some ways mitigate the problems. But now it's even more complex, and suddenly there's a team of 20 people maintaining an application that doesn't do much more than moving some files between servers, reading them and saving records in a database. Sorry, not a database, five different types of databases that no one in any of the teams have any deeper understanding of.
> A password field for a non-essential website is like an instant conversion drop off. Just ask for an email, and send login link to email. That's it.

Funny enough what you think is frictionless is even more friction for other people. I can click into this registration form and 1Password will fill in all my info including generating a password and I just click a button after that.

Login links emailed to me? Now I have to not only open a new tab and login to my email provider but I have to wait and hope that his email sending provider isn't bogged down and sends it immediately or wait until it arrives, given it hasn't went to spam and I have to dig through that to find it, open it and click the link.

So I just traded 2 seconds of my time for almost a minute or more.
Well i dont see a way ever to force everyone to use their verified public Internet identity, but such a system is needed. Especially with deepfakes technology getting more evolved and easier to use.

>Is it worse to be called a groomer or a Nazi? I guess, if you're twitter, it's worse to call a leftist a groomer than it is to call a conservative a Nazi.

"Groomer" is a noun that describes someone's actions. "Nazi" is a noun that describes someone's political beliefs. It is absolutely worse to be called a "groomer" because that is a direct claim of immoral and often illegal behavior. "You are doing something bad" is a more serious accusation than "you believe something bad".
I think Twitter is owned by a holding company controlled by Musk. I think he had at least two holding companies, “X Holdings I” and “X Holdings II”, with the later a subsidiary of the former, and the acquisition was legally a merger between Twitter and the subsidiary. That’s a quite typical way to legally structure acquisitions.

I’m not sure exactly how the coinvestors fit in the picture, but I expect they (or more likely their own holding companies) own minority stakes in the parent holding company. The debt is probably the parent company’s also, although Musk may have personally guaranteed much of it.

Also, probably even the parent holding company is not directly owned by Musk. Probably owned by one or more trusts he controls.
I think they should be free to say it. I don't think it should promoted by twitter. I'd like that tweets by people with followers over 1 million be subject to some sort of accuracy standards
