Completely agree, although I don't think that people need to be better creative writers to be better at creating narrative arcs. For work, your narrative arc is normally solved if you are understanding (1) the relationship between you and your audience, (2) what you want, and (3) why your audience should care. If you communicate those things, the narrative should be crystal clear. That depends heavily on the context.

"Hi, I'm from a team from far away in company land (1). I've been having an issue with your service for the last few weeks because it seemingly drops connections sometimes. I looked at your metrics and I see that this is happening to other clients as well. This issue is stopping us from deploying a change to the UI that we promised customers would go out next week (2). Can you help me debug from your side? (3)"

"Hey boss (1). I think that I need more support on this project (2a). We originally thought it would be easy to refactor a widget into a widgetFactory, but after I investigated it widgetFactories will require a schema migration (3). I think Sarah is really good with those, can I ask her to work on this with me (2b)?

What makes you feel you hqve not been bullied by the art critics to believe this is "the right way"? Have you done a blind test? Does it mean you evaluated the right position while seeing the art piece for the first time jn your life? I doubt that.
Also not really a good fit for anything you're actively planning to trade or invest with. If you're expecting stocks to drop and holding cash so you can pick them up cheaper later, I-bonds don't work for that; you won't be able to access the cash when you want to re-enter the market.
>Thanks for the source! I love being given more material that backs my claims!

None of your dailywire claims have been backed up. You keep dodging that fact.

>Again, you bring absolutely nothing to the conversation.

All I'm trying to "bring to the conversation" is the fact that your "sources" are just links to a site nobody could possibly trust. But since that's clearly good enough for you to take as fact, you're exactly the kind of person they hope to rope in.
Not the title of the piece.
Does it only fall one time to 6% in 6 months or will it track against inflation over time?

(i.e. short-term return > long term return?)
The cost on CGMs is what is keeping them out of the mainstream (at least in the US.) If you are non-diabetic and want to use a CGM you're looking at about $10/day out of pocket cost. If Dexcom or Abbott can get a CGM down to $1/day out of pocket they should be insta-buys for everyone over age 25.
This is likely something that Pantone the company has caused by hopping on the subscription model bandwagon because they have a stronghold on the printing industry anyway so they can afford to. This is nothing Gimp will solve because they can’t simply ship a licensed product for free and get away with it.
I doubt that, but I’d be very interested in actual numbers to confirm either way.

Funny enough the children's "telephone game" is, in many Commonwealth countries, apparently called "Chinese whispers," at least according to my Londoner colleagues.
> a bit of trivia about 5.25" floppies: we used to use hole punchers to cut a hole in the side of the disk in order to be able to write to it. Covering this hole with some tape would physically prevent the disk being written to.

Hole puncher? Kitchen scissors I tell ya!

On the C64 them 5"1/4 floppies were one-sided, so we'd make a hole to use them as two-sided disks. Basically we'd take two floppies, flip one upside down, take a pair of scissors and use the other to cut a hole at exactly the correct spot. While we'd be doing that we'd "pull" the disks inside the sleeves to the diagonal opposite of the scissor to make sure we'd not cut into the floppies.

I've probably done it hundreds of times. I do still remember the exact feeling and could do it in a heartbeat : )
> People will shift their purchasing power elsewhere.

You are neglecting that people may not have a choice.

For people w/o cars, they are limited to whatever grocery stores are within walking distance, or accessible by mass transit.

In my case, my easiest choices are the extremely overpriced organic store, Safeway, or QFC. Once Safeway and QFC merge, I'll be down to basically two local choices, and I live in a major metro.

I know people who have one grocery store around them. There are parts of the country[1] where in a ~15+ mile radius you have a single choice for shopping.

Now throw in people who don't have the time, or ability, to commute, and many grocery stores can charge whatever the heck they want up to the limit of what consumers can afford.

From that thread, yes indeed, the price increase is 76% for 2019 to 2022, but that is (obviously) a completely absurd level of price increases for a 3 year timespan.

And this isn't some unique situation, this is pricing at one of America's largest grocery retailers, a grocery store chain that is the sole grocery store in many communities, and a grocery store chain that is set to soon become much larger.

[1] This isn't unusual, in Washington State if you go outside any major city, you find that smaller cities/towns basically have one Safeway for the surrounding area and that is it. Visiting friends on the east coast, I noticed a similar situation, a cluster of small towns and a single grocery store (Kroger owned).
Don’t worry, there’s an unlimited supply of younger, less jaded devs willing to do the work.
The joke of the article was that she was named "Woman of the Year," so they named her "Man of the Year" to point out the ridiculousness of such an award for her. You can disagree with that, or you can agree with that, but it's still a very tame joke. I don't think the debate on transsexualism is a closed case in many regards. There are important topics to discuss on it; and satire, even if you don't find it funny, is important to that debate.

I mean the idea that a trans-woman could actually feel and experience the challenges a biological woman faces...is pretty controversial; or the fact that many base their identity on media stereotypes rather than the very diverse experiences of womanhood, also is a pretty important debate, especially among feminists.

We can't just close the debate off and disallow any discussion on it (or jokes about it), and call anything against it a hate crime. That's not how things work. It could also have massive political fallout if Progressives are unwilling to join in the debate and stifle any attempts at it.
I'm really far away from any of the stations listed but I'd imagine cheap modern SDR can get this and decode it pretty easily. Anybody try?
So I believe your comment to be in good faith but it's overly optimistic.

First, whenever it comes to "free speech" 99% of the time people make that argument they're not arguging for "all speech". They're talking about "my speech". And most of that time they really just want to utter hate speech.

Second, the idea of what's normal or acceptable is built on deeply ingrained beliefs that typically aren't rational. You see this whenever Elon talks about the "far left". This is such a laughable concept. The "far left" in American politics quite often simply means "we should let trans people exist" (eg [1]). Even suggesting things like everyone deserves access to healthcare is viewed as an extreme left position in the US.

So when Elon argues he's a centrist, the calibration is off because your choices in mainstream American politics are mostly between extreme right (often called the "alt right") being the party of Trump and the center right in the form of the Democratic Party (eg [2]). There is no "left" in American politics. The takeover of neoliberalism in the US is near-total.

As for Elon's plans for Twitter, he's put a lot of money on the line and the letter to advertisers I think gives a good signal of where this is going. I predict Elon will simply cut costs, unban a few conservatives as a token gesture and wait a couple of years to take the company public again and get out. He may as well start making a "Mission Accomplished" banner now and book the aircraft carrier. This is basically the private equity playbook.

It's what Tesla puts on their front page marketing[1].

But if you want more detailed breakout, there's this[2] report that you can dig through which states:

> A range of cycle estimates was provided throughout the literature for lithium-ion of up to nearly 6,000 cycles with lower DOD (DiOrio et al., 2015; Greenspon, 2017). The analysis conducted here estimates that lithium-ion LFP can typically provide 2,000 cycles at 80% DOD, while NMC systems provide 1,200 cycles for the same DOD, due to positive electrode dissolution and associated increased capacity loss at the negative electrode. In the next phase, more detailed cycle life data for LFP and NMC chemistries will be obtained. For example, based on 70% capacity at end of life, lithium-ion batteries have demonstrated a cycle life of approximately 8,000 cycles at 80% DOD (R. B. Wright & Motloch, 2001). The calendar life of lithium-ion batteries ranges with some stating > 5 years or as high as 20 years (R. B. Wright & Motloch, 2001) and others in the range of 5-15 years (Dubarry, Qin, & Brooker, 2018). This report estimates a 10-year calendar life at 80% DOD, also assuming 5% of that time will also be allocated to downtime. A cycle life of 2,000 cycles for LFP and 1,200 for NMC is assumed with a 5% increase in total cycles each by 2030.

So with the right chemistry, assuming one cycle a day, assuming 70% depth of discharge is acceptable, 8000 cycles is 21.9 years.

There are a few ublock filters that solve those issues. Alternatively, disabling cookies for twitter used to get rid of a lot of the nagware features since they would only pop up on the 'second' interaction that would cause a page load.
hmm ... I unchecked all criteria other than internal SAS ... and there are only two (oddball) results ...

That's too bad that SAS drives are not being tracked well with a site like this.

The idea was about opening the API, and this suggestion was to argument that it makes easier for the malicious bots. So this was suggested to make the API less valuable for that purpose.

I think the only problem would be if this API was used by non-bots (perhaps some relays) and the tag loses its meaning.
I don't think the problem is whether Twitter is readable. The problem is whether it is advertisable for Twitter: whether advertisers will complain about being placed next to a tweet.
I'm not sure what country you're in, or what the law is in the US, but I think there's a difference between saying "I want to to smash their face in with a brick" and "someone should smash their face in with a brick"

It seems to me that the call to action or lack thereof is salient.

That being said I have no idea if this was the reason why it was allowed. There's no transparency.

[not knowing if a machine or a human wrote a twitter post is a bad thing]

And what difference does it make, wether some content was written by an algorithm or it was written by professional staff, when the objective might be the same: to misguide / influence you to act in someone else's favour
I wish BSD had this.
Not very far. It's not a lack of understanding, it's a rejection of plain falsehoods.
If twitter does want to be a public square and truly attempt to be neutral (as far as that is possible or realistic without letting it become a dumpster fire) should it have someone to act as a sort of an ombudsman? Is this what Musk is suggesting here? I guess the details will reveal that, one hopes that this group's decisions will be independent of the business implications or aspire to be.
What does freedom of speech have to do with posting on twitter?

I think this is a worthy cause, but maybe a little misguided: the problem with "curl-piping" isn't so much the fact that you're throwing a random shell script into your shell, but the fact that you're downloading arbitrary code in a way that's disconnected from the normal integrity/authenticity guarantees of a package manager.

In other words: you can be confident in the bootstrapping script you've just downloaded because it passed its checksum, but that script is just going to download more binaries from the Internet.

That's true. I could make the argument that, on the macro scale, it all evens out. So maybe some activities are counted that shouldn't be, and some aren't counted that should be. On the scale of billions of dollars, it probably doesn't matter.

You can buy that, or reject it. I won't try too hard to persuade.

Our whole system of financial reporting is based on trying to make things comparable, and CFOs are very well versed in the current doctrines and IRS rulings on R&D. But we'd be headed into the weeds if we went any further.
> It has only been very, very recently that we have gone from "gender is a social construct" to "sex is a social construct."

I don’t think I’ve seen anyone say that sex is a social construct. Gender yes. And that gender and sex are orthogonal. And that gender is a spectrum but sex in humans is binary.

Maybe I missed the evolution of the conversation but I don’t think I’ve seen any volume of argument that sex is a social construct. I’m open to be convinced.
Seriously considering #3 a solid idea to even discuss is a delusion. Twitter already has videos (YouTube, Twitch), a feed (Facebook, Google News), images (IG), etc. did it replace any of the above mentioned services or do you think the only missing element in this massive intercontinental cross-technological enterprise is Elon Musk?

They just need his guidance and leads, PMs, design, engineers, … and, most importantly, users of these existing platforms will all align and populate this brave new super app.

I would imagine a uniform distribution of people from across racial, political, age, and socio-economic classes would be a good start. The theory is that if a moderation council is mostly well-off, white liberals, then their decisions will more likely contain bias from those sorts of people. A moderation council needs people of various ages, races, and political backgrounds so that the net bias in their decisions is reduced.

I would also imagine that a dozen people isn't enough to achieve a good enough distribution over these variables. They might need a more scaled moderation approach that involves potentially hundreds of individuals, like a jury, but much bigger.
Without digging, I'm guessing you thought Musk was just doing a 'pump and dump' when the news broke in April, and that he would never acquire the company.

This assumption of bad faith is just terrible for HN, and the fact that you can't substantiate your argument doesn't breed much confidence in your assertions.

Musk's reputation is on the line without a doubt, and we can all point and say, "ha ha" if he fails. Otherwise...
All language is a social construct. We recognize patterns in the real world and assign words to them, but patterns in complex systems like human biology have all kinds of exceptions.

Social construct doesn't mean fake, though. It's real, and it describes a real thing, but is a simplified model of it. The fight is over which model is better.

It's above-and-beyond of you to follow up at all in that situation, IMHO.

Taking "I need X next Wednesday" at face value to mean "as long as I have X by 5pm Wednesday I'm happy" is completely reasonable.
I don't think it makes sense to compare a giant, multibillionaire organization like Twitter to something like the Boring Company, which was never really intended to be a main venture.
"Sex is a spectrum" is hard scientific truth. Unlike computers, biology doesn't work in binaries. Intersex people exist and are surprisingly common.
Yep. In general whenever you rely on a solder joint to provide mechanical strength or support, you're in a state of sin. Running 600 watts through such a connection is pure negligence.

We just have a disagreement. I don't think that bugs in beta software means "he actively pushes forward broken products". It may still be wrong to inflict beta software on humans, but that is a separate ethical consideration.

Pair it with another site that has screenshots of tweets that were banned, that obviously don't violate the rules as shown in the first site.
Jim says: Some people like to bathe in mayonnaise.

Bob says: It has been reported some people like to bathe in mayonnaise.

Is Bob wrong here? Yes, because Bob didn't verify the information as being factual. Bob might as well have just made it all up himself... it would be no worse. Quite a silly example, but I hope you see the point.

4Chan made up the "OK" symbol story. The media ran with it doing zero research or verification. Then, sometime later people starting meming the symbol because it's laughably absurd.

That does not make it a "co-opted" symbol and does not give it any additional meaning other than literally meaning "OK". It really does not matter if you can find some example of some full fledged level 47 paladin super dragon KKK guy in white robes that made that symbol once because it was funny - it still does not mean "white power" for crying out loud. There is no reality where there is a KKK meeting (or whatever) where they gather around and flash "OK" signs to one another. Real life isn't a corny 70's comedy.

You've been had, very badly, and are really hammering my point deeper and deeper. The media needs to be held accountable for publishing unverified and/or untrue stories because they are extremely damaging to the public.
The bank has much less of a problem if you have 20 billion dollars, though.
Biological sex is not a construct, it's a simple observable reality. Biological sex is factual and immutable.

One of the Factorio devs (kovarax?) has a blog post about regretting the introduction of copy-pasteable blueprints. I feel like balancers are where the devs become complicit in that cycle. They could have 3+ lane balancers as single structures in the base game, but by sticking with only two, they're forcing people to build their own higher order balancers. Few people have the interest or ability to design a 7-to-5 balancer, so we blindly copy designs - and build a habit of getting our designs online.

I submit that with more useable balancers, importable blueprints never would have made it into the base game.
That's not the dumbest idea in the world. The USB people had the sense to use a higher voltage to keep the I^2*R losses down.

USB PD 3.1 can handle 240 watts over an appropriately-rated Type C cable, so 3 such cables could handle the load with some margin to spare. PC power supplies could do worse than to move in that direction.
> What you obviously read as ginning up a violent capital mob, someone else can read as encouraging peaceful protest.

There has been an entire set of Congressional hearings, with extensive testimony from the people surrounding him, to answer precisely which of those was the case.

The evidence conclusively points to the former, there's really no question at this point. This isn't a matter of opinion anymore or "agree to disagree" -- it's just overwhelming facts, based on undisputed testimony, now.

> What he said represents quite common black nationalist views and were espoused by most Black Power activists in the 60s. Those views are still highly relevant in the black community today, due to things like this[0], promoted by popular thinkers like Prof. James Small. Yes, they can be hurtful, but I believe the proper response is to make the sports and music contracts transparent and re-do them so they don't screw over black talent, as Kanye says, to address the underlying distrust, and rebuild proper ties between the Jewish and Black communities.

This reads not like you disagree with whether or not its antisemitic, but rather that you're justifying tolerance of some antisemitism on the basis of it being a common black nationalist view.

Which I don't find acceptable. I won't tolerate ethnic or racial prejudice.

> I still view it as my (and our) duty to address those grievances; we can address the distrust between communities afterwards once they're solved.

That's entirely possible without also tolerating hatred.

We can say both that Ye is wrong to be antisemitic _and_ agree that the music industry is exploitative.
> I would also imagine that a dozen people isn't enough to achieve a good enough distribution over these variables. They might need a more scaled moderation approach that involves potentially hundreds of individuals, like a jury, but much bigger.

I like that; add in "banning decisions must be unanimous" and I think you'll have better decisions.
It is scary, and also really illuminating to see how quickly and easily mainstream media will report actual lies as facts.

The lesson I continue to learn is that mainstream media is not worth my time.
Interesting plans.
