It's a great place to work (now).

They actually have difficulty hiring people though because it wasn't a great place to work under the previous CEO a few years ago, so the Glass Door score is pretty low, and it's been slowing edging up over time. But it's gotten to the point where about half of the people who leave for greener pastures end up coming back within 6 months.
There is a specific subsite there for media discussions: https://fanfare.metafilter.com/
Case in point: the whole speculative execution was only suspected to maybe be exploitable decades ago, and only now we have a bunch of PoCs
Obvious example is that Jews don't have to stay at the party where someone is yelling nazi slogans. And their friends can leave too. Neither have to wait till first physical attack starts.

I intentionally picked obvious example instead of anything nuanced.
As a species that has thrived from conditions as diverse as Arctic cold, desert heat/dryness, and Himalayan elevations, I really doubt that Homo sapiens is going extinct any time soon. I don't even think nuclear war would do it, since there would be plenty of survivors, although we might regress back to subsistence farming if the survivors could not sustain our technological and transportation infrastructure.

The worst pandemic we have recorded, the Black Plague, only killed between 30 - 60% of the population. At the beginning of the Covid pandemic the death rate was about 4%, and even in Italy where the medical system collapsed it was only 15%. Plus it was known early on that the mortality rate for under 40--people who will go on to reproduce--was very low. These figures are not even close to extinction level. Even the plague wasn't close to that level. So I strongly agree that fears of extinction are "unbelievable hyperbole". Was Covid serious? Yes. Could many people have died? Yes. A serious tragedy? Could have been (although I think the bigger problem, in retrospect, was shutting down the economy/society). Possibility of extinction? Not in the cards.
Would love to see the Twitch program!
The first amendment has very little to do with the "freedom of speech" most people are constantly arguing about. But they are conflated so the first amendment gets dragged into the same old tired conversations.

To me the first amendment is much more interesting. Its roots in ancient Greece. Its importance in sustaining a democratic government. The paradoxical nature of trying to extend its reach to private entities...
Please make a video! This sounds great.
Of course there are bots here. It's a simple fact of running such a popular Internet site in the yard 2022, especially one with such a highly technical audience. What they do, and how much they post, if at all, is another question, but thinking there aren't bots, or at least computer aided readers and posting if you want to call it that here just seems naive.
> Storage would be more expensive on more boxes since they can't distribute the storage, they have to use local storage to reach the performance we're after.

Not necessarily. To a first approximation, if they can get 800Gbps out of the disks in a single box, they could split those disks over say 8 100 Gbps boxes and get the same performance out of the disks for the same price. Once you split it into 8 boxes, maybe instead of each box getting 2x 16 TB pci-e 4.0x4 drives, you get them 4x 8 TB pci-e 3.0 x 4 drives. Half size and older generation drives are likely to be less than half the cost. Netflix does have ways to segment cache among their appliances, so they wouldn't need to have the same storage capacity on each box as they do on the combined box.

It's certainly a procurement analysis to see if those savings will add up to overall savings, and there's a good chance it won't; especially if you need to add a 800 Gbps network switch. You do often get a pretty good cost savings by having two single socket servers vs one dual socket server though; again though, probably not if you have to add a switch.
ADHD runs very strong in my family. My mom never learned to control it and lets it ruin her interactions. Changing topics 2-3 times in a sentience is not uncommon. My career was a mix of major success and failures. Basically depending how routine or novel the problem set was.
Took medication at 40 for the first time.

First time in my life I was able to work on something boring where it didn’t feel physically painful to be doing it. Sadly I don’t tolerate the medication well. (Pain) so I do without it.

Alternatives are always very attractive.

I’ve often thought it would be awesome if I could just pay someone minimum wage to sit behind me and tap on my shoulder every time I got off task.

>"Basically, the charter of rights and freedoms in Canada and its provinces is toilet paper."

My thoughts exactly
This is true, today. But look at things like the Digital Markets Act in the EU; there is a significant chance those "super apps" iOS and Android are forced to submit to government regulation in the future, which will create new opportunities - if/once the App store monopoly is removed for example, the ability for any app to become the "super-app" is greatly enhanced, even if very hard. Twitter as brand and platform I could imagine playing in a post-mandatory App store landscape - but so too will a lot of others of course.
Twitter employees created this censorship machine now descending upon themselves is hellishly funny.
Minor correction, the board's only job is to hire/fire the CEO, and decide whether the company can be sold to a prospective buyer
In many of those issues switching language does indeed make it go away, because compiler will yell at the user if they do something stupid.
An alternate approach is to set the sysctl for this:

net.ipv4.ip_unprivileged_port_start=80

Or whatever port you want unprivileged to start at. If you set it to 0 it means any user can bind to any port < 1024.

The HP product I worked on was being forced to shift to HP cloud, and we hated it. I seem to recall that within a day or two after the announcement, we immediately halted that work and went back to AWS.
Absolutely. My homelab was a big reason I got the job, I’ve done a lot of basic sysadmin tasks on them.

Funny enough I may need to set up a Windows Server install here, that’s my main blind spot after having used Linux for a decade.

My programming skills are definitely rusty, I can hack together bash and Python but I wouldn’t consider myself fluent in anything - even with years of false starts to “finally learn how to program”. Closest I’ve gotten is Guile Scheme which is obviously a small language.
Probably not, since it encourages companies to actually invest in people that they can't just fire at will. Society comes out on top, and business is kept accountable for how they treat human beings. The free market with at will employment is a race to the bottom. France's model is more of a steady march to the top.
I'm not even sure it should be "against [its] goals", because the goals are chosen by the CEO. (Choose bad goals and accomplish them, and you're still a bad CEO.)

It's just company performance, IMO.
Does anyone know what WARN actually requires? If they are copensated for 60 days, does that suffice?
For manufacturing, yes. For corporate governance, nah.
But that's because Twitter has no capabilities to enforce them at the same speed for other companies. If processing speed depends on proximity to their legal department, of course Twitter will be able to verify their own agreements faster. That's just physics, not necessarily double standards.

It's like complaining that Amazon ships faster to areas that are close to Amazon warehouses. Well duh.

Right. That’s why 2 months paid salary is standard. With any severance on top. I've had this done a few times and I've witnessed it a few times.

You guys were going around essentially saying "THEY ARE BREAKING THE LAW!!!" it's a no notice layoff!!!

And obviously there is no evidence for that.

They are basically about to do the layoff "notice", which will also involve telling these people to stop working immediately and turn in their assets. Telling them to stop working is totally in compliance.

I'll admit that I am not in HR. But, to be clear workers are still legally revoked all access and told to cease producing with no notice and that's fine.

Layoffs exactly like this take place all the time.

Congratulations on the launch, webhooks are a great addition to tailscale!

I wish y'all new about Svix[1][2] before starting working on this so you didn't have to implement everything from scratch. Though great to see you protect against SSRF, MITM, replay, etc!

That's just a test!
For manual testing, QA is a separate person/team but I'm recommending the developer observe in real time as they review since they're "shuttling" the change into production. QA should also basically be adding in automated tests for their manual evaluations so yes, I'd have them cycle through the development team.

On #6, yes, I'd say squash merge into single commits so single commits going out would be the enforcement measure. And deploys to production occur immediately on merge to `master` which would be blocked on tests passing with additional pushes to that branch triggering test reruns.
Mmm… maybe it was the 271 now that i think of it. But it happen with others too
The language isn’t the point - you are watching with subtitles. It’s the entirely different culture that you get to see. Sure, some french and spanish movies are tad too predictable and sweet, but still you get to see different world.
Wut? At higher level in an organization, there is a much greater chance that you will be fired for things that you really have little control over. Now, at the highest levels, the compensation usually matches this level of uncertainty, sometimes with golden parachutes as well, so if you are fired you're still sitting pretty.

But, for me, I wouldn't define "a nice life" with having to deal with that much stress as having so many things outside of my control.
If everything was on shelves that rose out of the fridge on open, you could conceivably get 3-sided/~270° access to items on all levels.

That's kinda what big door shelves are accomplishing in upright fridges, of course, and I have no idea how robust a riser mechanism would be over time, so I'm not sure how much better that is.
I like to believe Apple under Jobs was different.
> By using the metrics you use, you are limiting your son and yourself. Those metrics come with a hard ceiling. Where the Ivies are going, there are no ceilings, there are no metrics in the first place. World class admissions means being open to von Neumann-scale, I-didn't-believe-that-possible possibilities to surprise the admissions committee and delight in that.

This is worded extremely well.

I think many people grossly underestimate what a motivated and talented high schooler can do, largely due to the conceptual ceilings that are pervasive in our society.
>In a drug-induced haze, Elon offered to buy Twitter at a price that was a weed meme and after sobering up, went on a full court press in the media to get out of his deal. It required a absolute shitpounding

There's no reason to take your comment seriously when you open like this. You clearly have a bias against the man and you're willing to run with assumptions as facts. Until there is evidence that Twitter was not going to pay for 60 days of employment as required by law, this is a frivolous suit filed out of spite. Otherwise, similar suits would be filed against Stripe, Opendoor, Lyft, and the many other companies that did layoffs recently which are virtually identical to this one.

Edit: Twitter is paying for 90 days of salary and benefits, similar to other companies, more than required by law: https://www.businessinsider.com/read-blunt-email-telling-twi...

> If you hate abortion, but like $100 more than you hate abortion, then why shouldn't we just give you $100?

Because it gives the person with more money more voting power (even moreso than they already have).
Thanks, got it -- that's very helpful. So in other words, this wasn't an issue about it taking this long to discover -- it was an issue about being actively suppressed. That makes much more sense.
On a boat, if your refer is old enough, it has the old school kid-killing latches to keep it closed. (The refers are pretty small usually, so only fairly young children can be killed in them, and possibly not at all, if they're wearing their PFD as they should be and therefore will not fit.)

Newer ones will have a jerry-rigged hook-and-eye latch or some variation screwed inappropriately into the brightwork. Brand new ones will have nothing, and then they will have a jerry-rigged bungee cord wrapped awkwardly around it about 12 minutes after leaving the dock.

Sailors will be still on the pier arguing with the harbormaster, "what do you mean you stopped selling block ice?"

Pretty much, although Musk might be more persistent in the face of being lolnoped by regulators than Facebook and the financial institutions they invited along to try to add credibility to their project.
Oh - I’m a professional with insurance, as is most of their target market, I’m sure. But most things I do medically require co-pays, feel complicated, require referrals, etc. This feels as accessible as a meditation app subscription, with a better value proposition to me. So I think I was weighing it against that sort of “guided-‘self’-help”, rather than therapy. And I say that as someone who just talked to a therapist, so I’m pro therapy. They just occupied a different headspace to me.

But I can see your point. If I had been looking at this as more of a medical condition that insurance would cover for me, this wouldn’t be my go-to substitute. I also see what you mean about the wording. I gave them the benefit of the doubt since they are trying to convey meaningful authority based on science without trying to claim to be your therapist…they are in an in-between space. But I admit there is likely a way to describe such a positioning without such likelihood of being perceived as being misleading.
What differentiates you offering from Inflow (https://www.getinflow.io)?

The description of your app sounds almost like a one to one copy.

EDIT: I checked the Inflow offering and even the pricing is similar to yours.

2nd EDIT: Also, the 'coaching, but not therapy' thing is similar.
You actively want to overbuild by what seems like a ridiculous amount, because lots and lots of cheap energy is a good thing.

See this video which suggests somewhere in the region of 5x overbuild of renewables being the least cost option.

How to impress a customer when you have only 2 employees
I was reminded today of the 1st CEO I worked for: She had a meeting with a big customer...and only 2 employees. She brought all 5 of her employees...yes 5. 2 employees and 3 neighbors who just dressed up, showed up, knew nothing, and didn't say anything. She got the contract!
Interesting concept. Personally, I'm not a fan of therapy (tried it 3 times and it didn't stick) because I felt like I wasn't learning anything tactical that I can apply to my life. I'm a founder with ADHD so I'm very focused on building and "unblocking" myself -- e.g. getting myself to do the thing I know I need to do but can't do for some reason. If having a coach who can help unblock me quickly when I'm in a state of executive dysfunction, I can see how it'd be worth the monthly fee.

Thinking of giving it a shot. I'm curious though, how long does it take to start seeing results from the coaching? I suspect that it'll take some time for your coach to get familiar with you and recommend strategies that actually work.

Also curious about what retention looks like. I tend to try a bunch of different methodologies to manage my ADHD but have trouble sticking to them -- I've tried so many productivity tools lol. What's going to get me to stay?
TI use Kinpo as well. TI, Casio, HP, Sharp are all the same calculators now with different enclosures and minor software differences.
Hmm, maybe, but if that was the case, would they get reinstated so easily? Getting immediately reinstated makes it sound more like it was a mistake, not the result of some real internal policy.
BPC-157 is the only thing that helped me with my debilitating tendinitis. It was definitely worth it for me, nothing else worked.

That's hiding behind technicalities. A person on H1B needs to leave the country within 30 days after being laid off. What life plans can one make around that? Even a simple housing lease is minimum 12 months in most parts of the country.
> Might have been part of this scheme.

I doubt it. Network operators like Virgin have very good business reasons to ensure their own network isn't infested with computers running services like NetBIOS, which has no business being exposed on the internet (it is rather verbose, and completely useless outside of a LAN).
The key problem you're going to run into is when the bot makes promises it can't actually do.

For example, a real support tech might say something like "Sure, let me reset your account information." If your bot says that, however, it won't actually be able to do that, and you'll be left with a frustrated customer.
> parallel counts by each candidate

I have often imagined having say two scanners in physical sequence (so passing through a ballet is a single operation), and having more than one (competing) recorder for the output of each scanner head.

This would require some standardization of form factors and interfaces, but with small enough electronics units and scanners, in principle parallel data paths could be included in a single intentional "infrastructure".
Nice to meet you Tim. Checkly is an awesome tool and thank you for your comment!

API monitoring is a very crowded space. Our approach is similar to HashiCorp with tools like Terraform, both philosophically (being open-source) and UX-wise (configuration as code).

Our users can benefit from being able to self-host it and customise it according to their own needs

Virtual Private Services with Tsnet
I like being able to comment without coming up with a traceable handle, I really don't think it is a problem. And yes, I also participate time to time in crypto related threads, but am certainly not a bot. Pseudoanonymity is valuable, and there's naturally a good overlap with individuals interested in crypto as many are privacy advocates. I really, strongly believe that it is not a problem to be able to easily post here without things like a degree of MFA. It allows for easier communication
The part that Musk personally paid isn't "cash", it's cash and loans against his Tesla shares.

To the very rich, cash is terrible because of the tax obligations. That being said, the whole Musk Tax rigmarole [0] is funny to me for various reasons. Musk's stated reasoning here is not quite correct, and somewhat self serving; at the same time, I think many people would not be satisfied even if Musk was taxed at 100% of his net worth.

I was interested when Feynman pushed back on the laziness of the opening question - seems like a very Feynman thing to do - so I was interested.

The follow up question, though, snuck in a lie - "you went to UC Berkeley for two years." That property of these interviews seems dangerous, and likely to implant false factoids in people's heads.

SELinux was intended to address this very thing. It's a complex beast that people find too difficult to understand and thus usually it gets disabled.

I see this attitude in pentesting too on embedded systems. A developer encounters a problem they don't quite understand but the problem disappears when they run their app as root, so away we go.
