Yep. Much harder to be the one bearing the responsibility of the calls being made than being an armchair commentator complaining about the decisions. I don't anticipate that he'll be any more successful at this than other leadership teams of social media companies. There's no way of "winning" at this game: damned if you do, damned if you don't.

Why Democracy Is Dangerous
You all probably know this… Contemporary computing behavior is for the cursor to change to a little hand as it rolls over a link or button. This was first introduced by HyperCard, so it is there as an everyday reminder of its legacy.
I don’t think $5/month would stop the biggest offenders: content farms. I have reported dozens of accounts that have posted tens of thousands of tweets in the last few years. Accounts that spam US politicians with things like “I am a democrat and I will not vote for Biden because he is neo-Nazi…” and so on and so forth. Accounts that ruin the discussion, waste attention. Accounts that are obviously not authentic users but are a part of a foreign propaganda campaign. These accounts can afford to pay $5/month.
> blocking pasting is bad because it blocks my password manager

again this is just a very ad-hoc opinion, theres nothing stopping a password manager from faking keyboard inputs, or the browser from having a mechanism for supplying a password externally. that said, blocking pasting is fucking insanely stupid and shouldnt even be something web apps have control over. incidentally, the same "we dont have to concretely define anything" mentality is the same behind both issues here: allowing browser control over paste is a way of letting the app implement 1% more applications that would be impossible otherwise, while breaking stuff by ruining the abstraction; and providing a password externally would require inter application API which always fucks up because nobody has the balls to define anything concretely.
>You've confused Tucker Carlson for a journalist.

Having the same bias as Wikipedia isn't evidence of their impartiality.

I think it is completely fair to say that privacy-respecting shared caches are not simple.

Couldn’t they make an exception for some domains and create a registry of really popular or fundamental links to packages like jquery et al? I have read on this topic before, but it sounded like all or nothing no shades of grey maximalism. Fine, partition those memes from imgur cdns, but let common libraries with known hashes to be shared at least. The potential attack is based on leaving a cdn-pixel and dl-time-testing it on other sites. But there is no big data in who has the 10 most popular releases of wasm-sqlite, dayjs or bootstap.min.css in their cache. These could be warmed up from literally anywhere, or even synced in background by an idle browser thread.
At an old apartment there were some bumble bees that lived in my neighbour's fence (or at least that's what it seemed like) and every time I'd sit outside, they' come out and fly around all chill. Nothing aggressive ever, they'd just fly in front of me and sometimes I watched them and otherwise I'd just sit and work. I don't know what my point is anymore... bumble bees!
I don't think this is credible. (And in some places it's semi-crazy.) Just off the top of my head, the population that has the most DNA in common with Neanderthals is not Basques but Tuscans. This article summarizes a much more plausible theory: https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-34175224
I would love to see some testing.

For two weeks: ban every Blue checkmark. Evaluate.

The next two weeks: ban every reporter. Evaluate.

The next two weeks: ban every politician. Evaluate.

The next two weeks: ban anyone without a Ukraine flag, vaccine, or mask on their profile. Evaluate.

The next two weeks: ban everyone with a Ukraine flag, vaccine, or mask on their profile. Evaluate.

Make it interesting and never tell people what you will ban for two weeks this time, but leave it up to them to figure out.

Run enough tests and you'll find the magical blend. Or conclude that the best course of action is simply to ban everyone.
The most likely result seems to be he sells it within 5 years after making zero meaningful changes and taking a massive loss. I don’t know if that’s a good or bad result.
Hm. Depending on what you'd want to print, maybe a plotter would do?
If he does find the bot accounts significant enough to identify that he has been "duped" is there any recourse? I suspect this might be the canary in the mine (of social-media businesses) and Elon is passionate enough to release said numbers which could be used as a litmus for all business that marketed 'number of "users"' as something of a validator.

I would suggest to take a look at Dr. Berg's videos on YouTube. He has very down-to-Earth and highly educational presentations on this and related topics.
Sounds like Mastodon/Fediverse blocking of entire instances, which is workable. Kind of fun to see Elon's Twitter taking and implementing ideas from the Fediverse to be honest.
Twitter is full of awful people too. They’re just on the other end of the political spectrum.

> You just can't have human moderation at that scale

Effective human moderation - or at least, followup to moderation - should be the necessary cost of scale. If you can't operate at a certain number of users under that constraint then you shouldn't.
I kinda wish engagement had less effect on content visibility and having a swarm of bots "attacking" a comment wasn't decisive.

Talking about HN comments, some have extremely bad but feel good takes that will garner a huge first wave of upvotes, to then get beaten down as it got more attention, to perhaps get some more sympathy votes as timezones shift.

The interesting part to me is the comment can go all the cycles because it stays there, is still visible even when flagged to death and can be rescued.

That's also how I read reddit, with downvoted to death comments and posts in the timeline. People who care enough should probably do the same for Twitter as well.

Disclaimer: I am not politicaly engaged so have less exposure to the nastier battles where thousands of people shout a each other. I still don't understand why anyone would go there in their free time.

PS: I also don't think there is any one size fits all strategy for a service used by millions of people all over the globe. To me the "divide and conquer" approach reddit takes is a better fit, and expecting Twitter, or any social media to have a good mechanism to deal with social swarms is a pipe dream...dealing with abuse when you can have 5000 ton gorillas throwing their weight in the balance would be a tall order for any private company.
In such a diverse council, which in theory is good, you'll find that moderation policy will be dominated by whatever the "marginalized" members say. Which quite likely is the way it already works.
“Sex is a spectrum” is nonsense:

On the contrary, it's lovely. And there are no ads.
Agree that Twitter is no town square.

Disagree that Musk cares more about making money. Given his financial position in this whole ordeal, it's hard to see how he comes out without a loss.

Power and influence over political speech though... priceless.
Droughts, deluges, heatwaves, blizzards, tornadoes, cyclones, forest fires, floods, crop diseases, sea level rise, reservoirs and rivers emptying, crop germination and pollination failure, harvest failure, desertification, coral bleaching, fishery collapse, novel pandemics, old diseases returning from the permafrost, insect apocalypse, apex predators disappearing, life expectancy falling...

"Close"?
The problem Twitter has here is that the ads aren't as effective as other channels, so the bar to cause advertisers to leave is a lot lower.
It's a book. He's writing in character.
I think that means WeChat in the sense that in China WeChat isn't just an communications app, it's an app through which many/most people do a great deal of transactions -- shopping, p2p payments, paying utility bills, customer support, ride hailing, banking, etc., It encompasses what about 10 apps in the US do. You cannot understate how pervasive its use is in ways that have little to do with social media. That's what Elon wants to turn Twitter into.
Again I'm just saying that by the standards of most people at a college campus, student, faculty or otherwise, they love the idea of implicit, systemic bias, etc.

> And also, what is the source of the claim that most of academia is in fact liberal?

Primary source: my own experience. And any data I've come across.

Regarding their point about religion, the big shift that has happened in the last few decades is people rejecting organized religion. Mega churches using their power and influence to commit crimes. Pastors buying mansions and private jets. Having a political stance forced on you by your congregation. Being ostracized due to your personal beliefs.

Belief in spirituality, the supernatural, a higher power all can and do exist independently of any particular religion.
Ensuring register accesses are interleaved in a good way right?
It's two different things: WeChat has a bunch of integrated apps, that's part of what Musk's vision is. The free speech issue is separate from the similarities to WeChat.

Indeed. They weren't as successful after. Perhaps Twitter repeats history, or perhaps they do something new.

Absolutely, social media has proven just how narcissistic the average person is. Virtue signaling was not really a thing before social media. Is it any mystery why politicians in democratic societies are becoming more and more narcissistic every year?

The consent decree requires that the company be 5x as large as it otherwise would. It really, really, really slows down development. For every engineer, there is also a corresponding engineer whose job is to slow them down.
I’ve often felt that climate conversation requires an “oh fuck” moment to prompt us to genuine, timely action.

Unfortunately that won’t happen naturally, because of the boiled frog effect.

The other problem is that the media & political rhetoric today has damaged our ability to be effectively stimulated by “oh fuck” moments.

I think the best thing we can do is put people in office who will be alive for a future above 1.5°C.
>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.

The award is only ridiculous if you think trans people shouldn't exist in public as openly trans. I mean you even referred to her as "her" so you seemingly recognize that her being eligible for "Woman of the Year" is more appropriate than "Man of the Year". The perceived ridiculousness comes from the same fundamental concept underlying the joke, the existence of trans people is funny and their desire to simply live their life as they see fit is worthy of mockery.

>I mean the idea that a tran-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.

No one is arguing that here. This is a person identifying as a woman and being recognized in public as a women. That is the only political statement being challenged. You are free to continue debating whether trans women and cis women have the same experience or whatever, but neither the USA Today or the Babylon Bee was making a statement in that debate.

>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 don't know why this is framed as progressives shutting down the debate on the topic. The conservatives viewpoint that the Babylon Bee seems to subscribe to is that gender and sex are they same thing and they are binary. There is no way to debate against that viewpoint. There is no possible compromise position. It denies the very existence of someone like Levine. There is nothing Levine could have said to the Babylon Bee to stop them from targeting her specifically because they weren't criticizing any of her beliefs or actions. They were criticizing an innate quality of her being.

Autonomous Tesla's were also ready by the end of the year 5+ years ago. He's always been the way he is, the difference is the number of people who have caught on to his schtick by now.
> I feel much of the mourning of lost trust in media comes down to crocodile tears

In other words, anyone who questions a media narrative -- however obviously thoughtless or ridiculous -- is "concern trolling", and therefore worth dismissing.

> In our present crises, there seems to me a choice between hyperbole and bikeshedding.

We have to stop this black and white thinking. There's absolutely a wide area of reasonable disagreement possible here: we can agree that climate is a problem, but disagree on the costs / benefit tradeoffs of any proposed solution. Science and policy are two very different things, but one side of the political spectrum seems devoted to turning "science" into a political bludgeon for their preferred policies.

If you'd stop short of returning humanity to the stone age to stop climate change, then you, too, believe in reasonable tradeoffs. You can be a scientist and hold both things in your head at the same time.
All that copper went somewhere, though. A rising post-apocalypse civilization would probably mine our dumps and ruins, Rimworld-style.
Why? Transformers scale just fine. Two power supplies is just worse in every way.
That remains a turning point for me.
We need a search engine that prioritizes ad free sites over ads. The less ad a site has, the higher it will be ranked. And you will automatically get rid of all search spam following this one rule.
>Is watching Fox News or Newsmax counts as touching grass?

It is the exact opposite. I think this proves my point that you need to get out.

Please provide me some Fox or Newsmax links promoting hate and violence though. I would be interested in seeing what you call violence and hate.

>Many of my sources touched grass and came to the opposite conclusion than you.

I was suggesting you touch grass not people you listen to.

>Criticizing Hunter Biden is not specifically hate, but then again people are not criticizing him, they are spreading conspiracy theories about him.

Conspiracy theories are not hate or violence.

>It is yet to be proved that he committed any crime, but his privacy has been already thoroughly violated.

Not violence or hate. I don't think the repair shop should have gone through the laptop, but it did become the repair shops property after Hunter failed to pick it up.

>Steve Bannon famously said that he doesn't feel good about it, but they are in war.

I don't care what he says about feeling good. Regardless he didn't say kill Hunter or whatever you think conservatives are saying.

>Hunter's entire life was on that laptop, and it was straight up weaponized. Now he is a subject to many QAnon conspiracy theories, and fictional retellings.

Again, not violence or hate.

>You mean anti-abortion institutions?

No. I mean organizations that help people who are not aborting. Providing diapers, money, doctor's services are not anti abortion.

>There are barely any sources for violence against them.

Perhaps you should check what happened after Dobbs.

>I don't think most people know about them.

Most people don't know about the violence and destruction they are experiencing.

>You don't see people attacking churches either.

It doesn't happen often, but it did happen quite a lot after Dobbs. Also Canada had a lot of Churches burned a while back.

>Anti-abortion violence is frequent, it's everywhere, it's a serious issue.

Like I said, touch some grass. You need to get off the internet and talk to real people if you think it is frequent. Spending too much time on the internet skews your mind and causes you to think things are getting so bad in the world. Things aren't perfect, but violence is relatively low and things are OK.
From someone that was able to raise 24 billion?
It's documentation from the systemd project. I don't think that would qualify it as propaganda, though it does make the HN submitted title misleading.
It's probably enough.
That really depends on where you are. I'd say that Tesla is the cheap kind of car that "everyone" have, at least in Norway. Polestar 2 has gotten quite popular too. A BMW i4 M50 with equipment is around ~1.5x the price of a Model 3 Performance.

I would definetly put BMW and Tesla in a different class, with Tesla being the budget option.
Not HyperCard related but I always enjoy using another retro interface project called Multipaint. Prefect for pixel art.

This function is flawed, containing unquoted variable interpolations:

s=$(curl -fsSL $1)
...
c=$(echo $s | shasum | awk '{print $1}')

what it means is that the checksum is being calculated on a whitespace-mangled version of the data that is pulled down from the web.

It appears to work because the author calculated the checksums with the same script and is just validating that they are not changing.

In other words, it's possible to make whitespace changes such that the hash won't change.

Here are two scripts: a harmless one and a malicious one, which produce the same whitespace-ignorant SHA256:

$ foo='# this is a comment
> # rm -rf /'

$ echo $foo | sha256sum
8b87547d4d214038b153ce57d929be4c835b7690c930c1e83a25fc1509390cf9 -

$ foo='# this is a comment #
> rm -rf /'
$ echo $foo | sha256sum
8b87547d4d214038b153ce57d929be4c835b7690c930c1e83a25fc1509390cf9 -

The first foo contains two comments. The "rm -rf /" command is commented out. The second foo moves the hash mark of the second comment into the previous line, uncommenting the command.

(I know about GNU Coreutils' safeguard in rm against removing / recursively, by the way.)
I remember watching the episode "Faith" from Supernatural in TV with an amazing usage of "Don't fear the reaper" by Blue Öyster Cult (the cowbell one), and when trying to searching the episode in streaming platforms was replaced by a generic rock song... a total shame considering the plot of the episode it's about a literal Grim Reaper.
Burning Man works this way for many people.
WeChat is so much more then WhatsApp (for China)

EDIT: It's not only what everyone has (WeChat in China), instead of just many people (WhatsApp in EU). It's also the default payment service, you pay through it all the time in all kinds of situations. It's like WhatsApp but more monopolistic combined with PayPal but also more monopolistic. And both with full government support so no worries some bank lobby gets in you way.
These musk heads are insane. The projection is ridiculous, portraying the characterization of musk as impulsive as a "meme" when they are so deeply steeped in reality denial... drives me insane. They need a serious correction, crypto style.

You cannot write a test suite to catch regressions. How would you build a ci that detects sd boot failures on commit?

A static analyser couldn't help. Rewriting in rust isn't an advantage. You probably wont get help on stack overflow. Given all the above you might try to approach it as formally as possible, from the top down. That works in some spaces. Except half the writers problem was specs not being clearly laid out.
The Boring Company is not a failure. It's actually a major success, for Tesla. It successfully led a generation of politicians and journalists think that there's no need for public transportation, that Elon Musk will solve all our infrastructure needs. It's a modern day GM Streetcar.
