Building new weblike things (2021)
i actually think checkmarks was twitter's great strength. it made them look like a medium with ideology and editorialization, which attracted a lot of ideologically committed people. Twitter used the checkmark to gatekeep twitterers and as a weapon. they ridiculously "unverified" people (as if those people lost their identity or sth). It was all about signaling. Now it's just something you can buy
Not until now. Thanks for sharing. So many more apps available than I realized. Someone should compile a list!
I'm fine with this, it helps me not waste my time applying to these places
Many do die rich because they didn’t quite learn how to spend their wealth in ways other people would. (Which is what made them rich I the first place )
I think this is a bad, muddled version of these lessons.

> Play wealth accumulation games, not status games.

> Twitter is the ultimate battleground for status games.

... and then proceeds to quote his own tweets.

He talks about the importance of living by an inner scorecard an then immediately transitions to claiming "the only game worth playing is the wealth accumulation game", which sounds a lot like an external scorecard.
Only disabling half of the ads makes sense from a business point of view. Most likely, the users who are the best audience for an ad (in the sense that they have spare money and might purchase an advertised product) are the ones that would actually spend money disable ads.

There will probably be a new advertisement segment for users of Twitter blue. Companies will be able to advertise specifically to users willing to pay to disable ads aka more likely to have disposable income. Premium ads for the high spenders.
I too wondered whether this article was going to be about Escape From Tarkov.

In Tarkov you can visit the IDEA store, eat a 'slickers' bar, and even find Blaypoy magazines.

For the curious, here are links to a few more images of the inside of the IDEA store area on the interchange map:

This makes no sense, why would he be driving a hotel shuttle at this point rather than spending time with his family or volunteering?
> concert M&M check

For anyone that does not immediately recognize it refers to a popular trope that Van Halen contractually required venues to always sort M&Ms to not have brown ones. It is said this was their canary (in the coal mine) that was supposed to indicate if the venue took obligations seriously and hence will the concert be safe and up to standards.

This has a mixed review on snopes.com so take it with a grain of salt but it's a nice idea: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/brown-out/
thanks for that remark. Do you know of any good resources to learn about developing for SVE for folks who are familiar with NEON/AVX ?
All the C types have had minimum allowed ranges going back to ANSI C.

For 'char', it must at least support the range 0 to 127 (and in addition, it must have the same range as either 'unsigned char' or 'signed char').
Stephen King’s tweet on that topic, to summarize:

“ $20 a month to keep my blue check? Fuck that, they should pay me. If that gets instituted, I’m gone like Enron.”

https://twitter.com/stephenking/status/1587042605627490304?s...
I don't think it is convenient. These people have a website or verified profile on Google to already determine which social media profiles belong to them. All the blue checkmark will tell me in the future is these people are dumb enough to pay for snake oil.
Twitter Q2 average daily monetizable users: 237.8 million

Q2 revenue: $1.18 billion

Q2 revenue per monetizable user: $4.96

Revenue per user if they're paying $8 a month is $24 per quarter (there's 3 months in a quarter!)

That's definitely more than the profitability of the average user. If I got the numbers wrong then please show me how.
Where does Stephen King go if he's not on twitter ?

(Genuine question, not rhetorical)
Same day closing. Gartner talked about this 20 years ago. ERP and accounting systems that do not require 4-8 weeks to close the books every quarter.

Same solution for scenario planning. What is the impact of a sole supplier in Thailand deliver just in time being flooded out for 3 weeks?

What happens to the bottom line if days outstanding receivables grow to 54 or 90?
I lost my love for the web
"Hey, maybe this is the year Google starts to improve!" /s

Web search plays a relatively important role in everyday life today. Personally I'm averse to using products or services, even if they are currently 'okay', once I see they are on the downward trajectory.
Hey there! I built pocketnotes to easily create and share notes with anyone. All notes generate an auto scaled preview image so when you share the link to your notes, the text shows up in the link preview.

As to why I built this, I like writing and sharing my thoughts. I do it daily and I do it a lot. I like using tools that are snappy and fast that don't slow down your thought process. My current workflow before pocketnotes was writing the notes in my personal notes app and copy pasting the text in Slack/Twitter/etc. So to make my life and everyone else's who prefer to write and share notes at the speed of their thought I built pocketnotes.

I'd love to hear from you if you have any thoughts or feedback on the user experience or the idea itself.
That is very, cool. I'm particularly interested in the compressed-first approach because I have some projects where minimising BRAM usage is paramount so code density really matters. The use of microcode to emulate 32-bit instructions reminds me a lot of ZPU (I still have a soft spot for that architecture) - was that an influence?

> Each and every one of these arguments seem to be forgetting the fact that $8/mo is a ton of money in some areas, prohibitively so, and this policy is exclusive of such journalists, users etc.

And those areas don't proportionally don't matter to Twitter. Even so, the very next tweet by Musk, in reply to the linked one, says:

> Price adjusted by country proportionate to purchasing power parity

So that addresses this complaint.

> If Twitter is our modern Greek forum, it certainly seems like a classist and exclusive landscape. (...) We should ask ourselves if we should be placing Twitter's financial needs over the social and intellectual needs of humanity as a whole.

Since when is Twitter our "modern Greek forum"?

Just until a few days ago, being critical of Musk was strongly correlated with the belief that social media companies are private entities, free to do as they wish (and in particular ban whoever they want). It's ironic how fast things change :).
For younger group, you don't generally know or give out your number in the first place for person to person communication, which means that for the rare chances you are expecting, say, a medical call once a quarter or less, it's a scam. I don't know my best friend of 10+ years phone number but I can reach them in multiple ways.

If you're older the ratio probably tips it further into the "likely to be a valid call" I'm guessing.

I receive something on the order of one legitimate call every 5-8 months, everything else is spam/scam. There is absolutely no point in me accepting a call.

A formal phone call is generally synchronous, not asynchronous. It is extremely blocking behaviour and I hate it. Joining a group call with a few friends or even just 1-2 other people on discord or whatever else that you can drop out at any time without notice is a different type of "mood" and completely different set of standards. You can drop in and out in seconds, pop in to say hi and leave while you have your airpods in on while riding bart, , or spend hours just discussing dumb shit, etc.
Beyond banning them de-jure you've also got to ban them de-facto.

"We all know non-competes are unenforceable and illegal." <- Absolutely useless if you can end up in court. Using unenforceable rights as a deterrant is common and potential future employers get spooked by it even if it is illegal. "Don't hire Jill, Mary is almost as good and has no non-compete. Don't want to go to court even if its unenforceable."

There are no consequences for forcing someone to have the stress, expense, time and to secure the financing so that if everything works as it should (which it often doesn't in all the various legal systems) you get only some of that back. If it doesn't work as it should you're toast. Not a nice thing to be hit with when the law is clearly designed that you should not be hit with anything at all.

For an individual or a startup it matters. For a large revenue incumbant they have people employed to abuse the system like that and the business expense of doing it is trivial, more than worth it. The law may exist so that the strongest do not always get their way - but this is an ideal with many exceptions including this one.

Ban away, but with no consequences for abuse and all measurements for the abused being the magnitude of the downside alone, no upside possible you don't get the result you're looking for.

Summary dismissal with costs, compensation and the potential to be branded a vexatious litigant so it is more difficult to bring any court action against anyone would be a real consequence for abusing the rules. Is the best one? Is it fair? Dunno. What we have now in most countries sure isn't.
The hardest part of social status is respect of others in high social standing. Looks gets you the opposite sex, and having access, perhaps even sharing that circle, gains you respect. Nothing else really matters in the status game except respect.
A grand piano can be rebuilt, for $20000 investment that bechstien could have been like new again. This is a great deal if you have room for a large grand as most places (not people) buying grand pianos want new even though a rebuilt used is just as good.
Elixir has a vector library Nx that’s designed for these use cases.
Is this really true, though?

I mean, superyachts do exist. Mansions also visibly exist. Jeff Bezos does have not one but two private jets.

Now, I know some of this stuff is illusionary - there are private jets that don't fly and just act as photo studios. Loads of people can qualify for a loan to get a fancy car, if they're willing to pay a lot in interest.

I mean, I'd call someone with $10 million in the bank rich - but that's not enough money to own a superyacht. People who own superyachts aren't in my social circles, but they clearly exist.
Yes because most scammers provide their real information when scamming

To me the obvious solution seems like it would be to impose targeted tariffs on imports from countries that do not act to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, alongside taxes on domestic emissions.

Does this happen? What are the difficulties with it?
I assume a small fraction would pay $8/mo for Twitter. Limiting who can reply seems like a useful feature - I think this already exists for "only people I follow".
>> Alcohol intake explains 1% of the variance in global GMV and 0.3% of the variance in global WMV across individuals beyond all other control variables (both p < 10−16).

Definitely shows there is some grey and white matter reduction... but the impact doesn't seem drastic? Do I use that 1%? Do other activities reduce my brain of 1%? I don't know the scale of volume they use. I could be wrong.

And looking at figure 2[1], age is also a major factor for change in white/grey volume (which they normalize).

Maybe they lose the appeal as you say. But on the other hand, maybe everyone now wants to avoid not having it.
> Wealth creation is a positive-sum game.

Is it though? Even if it were true in aggregate, which I'm not ready to grant, there are clearly individual losers in the the "wealth creation" game.
The consumer market is a pretty big part of most DSLR sales. There really aren’t all that many professional photographers, relatively speaking.
I upgraded the manual's version because that's what was referenced in the linked articles. But V is almost always better than IV, think "The Empire Strikes Back" vs. "A New Hope"!
Elon is the PM from hell. Has some shower thought and starts throwing tickets on everyone's board 45 minutes later.

This is why the Model X has those silly doors.
Weird, I've never heard of people obsessing over GitHub stars. I guess if you're not actively contributing to open source projects, it's not something you care about.
Can't it actually be the opposite? Like, sure I could pay $8/no (a coffee plus croissant) but it signals that I care so much about being heard on twitter that I'm willing to PAY for it... Only losers do so, so blue checkmarks a are that.
My goodness the weight people put behind the verification check mark sounds absolutely insane as a person who is not at all invested in Twitter. As an outsider, this sounds like the only way to combat scammers on the platform, assuming non-paying viewers have an easy way to only see content from paying users.
What does scale is his skills. If he’s able to pull off what he’s already done, get investors and do it on a larger scale.
Most people crack with multiple GPUs. For example, I have a 5 GPU (3080s) rig that I used for mining ETH but now can use to crack with hashcat. tl;dr crack fast af boiii.
Exact replicas are an issue. If you are using AI image generation to replicate the near exact image, then that's illegal. But nobody cares if you copy a nice code pattern from a GPL code and apply it to your own code base. In the same fashion nobody should care if you make an image in the same art style.
Hmm ..makes me wonder if something like transmeta can be revived with risc-V.
A base price can only be made public if there exists a base price that would be common among customers - however if it's not priced as a commodity, that's not the case, there simply is not a base price that could be disclosed because there is zero expectation that there should be "the same service" available for the same price, or that there is some base price from which discounts are negotiated or something like that. They want to preserve the ability to have wildly different pricing for different customers, and publishing (or even having internally published) some fixed base price works against that.

If they want to sell their services as custom services, that's the business model - and in this case, they want to make a clear point from the very beginning that this is not a commodity and every deal is a bespoke deal. Even if the technical platform is the same, every business relationship is custom and individually negotiated, with zero expectation that the price you get is in any way related to the prices someone else gets - sometimes that works against you, sometimes that works for you, but that's the business model they've chosen.
Yup! I am wrong, sorry.
hashcat
My take is that the person screen-shotted a pretty carefully chosen part of the actual article.

The actual article contextualizes the event as "Elon Musk planned to begin laying off workers at Twitter as soon as Saturday, four people with knowledge of the matter said, with some managers being asked to draw up lists of employees to cut."

So of course this screenshot this person tweeted takes a paragraph from the middle, out of context, which makes it seem like a blanket, unqualified assertion.
Well yeah, that actually is. Most spammers aren’t government backed.
I agree completely about OIDC's discovery limitations! If this standard can improve along that axis, then that alone will make it a valuable contribution to the identity space.

I also agree about standardized claim names, although I'll point out that standardizing something like `phone_verified` just pushed the identity/claim value question one level deeper: what does it mean for IdP A to have `phone_verified` versus IdP B? Do they have the same ontological value? That's part of why (IMO) "generalized" identity management has never succeeded: you can make everybody generate the same claims, but you can't assert that they've done a uniform or sufficient degree of diligence for those claims. The only way you can do the latter is to select "high quality" IdPs, at which point the consistency of the claim names no longer matters.
Because he is in debt to his eyeballs on those rental properties. In 30 years when they are paid off he will be rich, but right now he probably can't make ends meet without that income.
Seems pretty weird to me. I read an article that the top 5% of users are responsible for 90% of tweets and most of the profit. Said 5% have been leaving the platform for the last few months.

Now there's a $8/Month incentive for the top users to leave ... seems backwards. They should be paying the top users to stay so the 95% has something to read.

Imagine if youtube creators had to pay instead of be paid.
"You can trivially reverse them by iterating through every phone number and computing the hash."

Well yes and no. What exactly is your understanding of a phone number 8)

Not everyone is blessed with the NANP. I'm a Brit and we have an eye wateringly complicated nonsense of a numbering plan and our's isn't the worst.

What do you hash? Perhaps the standardised international representation or one of them (no that is not a joke - telephony is weird). For a laugh you could try one of the many colloquialisms. For example a UK number might be 00441395112233 or 441395112233 or +44 (0)1395 112233 - the final part might be displayed as 112 233 or 112-233. Imagine if the database works by operating on all numbers in locally correct colloquial mode and hashes that!

Now let's really get silly: There are hashes that are nasty to compute but easy to check and vv. We'll use whatever is indicated.

Anyway this is all a very well researched problem, there is no need for silly games: passwords.
I'm sure Naval gets a lot of high-status from his job and general interactions with people. So it's easy for him to "ignore" the need/drive for status.
While i'm on my soapbox, i dont understand this mentality that wealth creation is a positive-sum game. Me buying a property to turn it into an Airbnb that I lease out to generate money directly takes away supply from someone trying to buy a house or a similar asset.

I would love to hear some examples of wealth generation that do not take away opportunity or money directly or indirectly from other people

[edit] below commenters have some great points, i'm reconsidering my stance on this point
The "problem" countries are not going to start setting up wind farms just because the US can do it. These countries are burning coal for a reason... it's exceedingly cheap.

Make something else exceedingly cheap and they will use it. Anything else is just a distraction and made to make you feel good at night while not accomplishing anything significant.
If you salt, then either you can't lookup a number, or you've only changed the problem to: iterate over all the possible phone numbers, _add the salt_ and hash them. No big difference.
For journalists it's not basically part of your job, it often literally is! Many media organisations require their reporters to maintain an active online professional presence on Twitter.
You are of course 100% right. That said, the New York Steinway factory mainly builds for the American continent. Where I live, Steinways come from Hamburg, Germany.
Yeah but with hashcat supporting cracking with multiple GPUs, even bcrypts can be cracked quickly now. There are also a ton of cloud cracking services like GPUHash.me and entire cracking forums where ppl crowdsource and help out like HashKiller.
He owns it? or bank owns it? I know people that have multiple rental properties, mortage on all of them, if suddenly they lose a few of the renters they can't pay mortages on these properties anymore. They also say they own all of their properties.
Just a note about Trailforks. It was introduced as a crowdsourced, free application/service which was lacking data, but had a huge audience. So people little by little put a lot of riding data in it (trails, routes, media, info etc), the word spread, and over couple of years it turned out to be pretty much the best trail riding/mapping app. And that was mostly because of the data, not the app itself, because it was frankly not very good UI-wise.

The the other shoe dropped. They locked the data and the app behind a subscription service, and not long after that, they've bundled some related web sites with it and sold it to off to some bigger company for quite a nice sum from what I've heard.

My point being, they knew about the subscription/monetization since the beginning but "forgot" to mention it (for obvious reasons). Classic bait and switch tactic. My riding buddies and me spent dozens of hours (some much more) mapping our region and added hundreds of trails and other info "for the good of everyone", just to get it locked away by them. I'm wiser after that, but this is definitely an example how to destroy a good will of a community.
I wonder if most people who appear to be concerned with status are actually worried about belonging. They seem to be playing a zero-sum game with their peers, but they really just want to be secure within that group and not at the margins or in the out-group. I've certainly known people who want to be recognized for their expensive car or clothes, but I think most people just want to fit in and they've been convinced that what they wear or drive is an important part of that.
Do you have examples to share? I am interested as I shoot with film, mirrorless, and on iPhones.
Hi. I'm a professional artist. I have a lot of friends who are also professional artists.

Most of us live in cities, and go to the store to buy food. We have specialized in being good at making images, which we trade for money, which we can trade for other goods and services such as "food" or "entertainment" or "rent". Some of us are doing well enough to have room for a garden, and the time to tend it. This is by no means the majority.

How many of your peers would know one end of a modern combine harvester from the other? Probably very few, if you live in the city.
Astonishing how many people are raging in this thread and about frontend in general when they can just close the tab. It's not worth it
Rebuilding can be a great option, but you really don't know what you're going to get on the other end. Pianos definitely have "personalities", that is, quirks, unique characteristics, etc. You may get a "like new" piano, but it also may not be all that nice sounding.

Even 5 brand new pianos, same size, same manufacturer, same production year will sound different to a pianist's ears. Some will be warmer, others brighter; some sensitive, some temperamental; some duller, others sparklier; etc. Many of these qualities can be adjusted a bit through a process called "voicing" and "regulation", but general wisdom among piano technicians is to not try to push a piano too far away from its "natural" timbre.

Rebuilding with a new soundboard would be a huge job. Depending on where OP lives and just how much work the rebuild entails, it could be closer to $40k.

This is probably fine though, it is the Elon way of doing business. Make fast decisions and try and whole heap of things. He then gets criticised for not delivering on the majority of them but still comes out ahead of orgs that take 6 months to make the decision in the first place.
