> they cant even have the most basics of human need by the virtue of being on a visa?

Well, if you ignore reality of your situation because you are high on love hormones that's on you.

BTW. I'm not even from US, I live in central Europe, I spent a year in the US for one of the projects I worked on, didn't last, so I came back. You might say that I also fell victim to "unclear and ad hoc immigration rules", except they aren't ad hoc or unclear at all: if your intention is to immigrate to the US then H-1B (temporary worker visa) is not even the right visa type for you, you should apply for EB-3 instead, from the very beginning. So, to sum it up, original poster is trying to game the system, and bitching about the fact that the system is hard to game.

EDIT: Another problem with China and India is that combined they have population 10x that of the US. That's why US puts limits on number of immigrants from there (via wait times), otherwise the US population can easily double or triple in the next decade, leading to a lot of problems.
Leak why? This isn’t exactly controversial to say hey this sector that’s becoming insanely integrated into our society and economy deserves a critical lens. In fact I’d argue that’s exactly their job.
Privatization - SS would be replaced with a pay-as-you-go private account, similar to a 401k. I have seen some suggestions where SS is partially kept, or it becomes optional, either way, it probably kills the system because there won’t be enough money coming into the system to pay out.
it’s that they’re being selectively critical to propagate their own interests.

So?

In a republic we need checks and balances. I want all the power centers in the country at each others' throats. I want bankers being critical of oil men. And oil men being critical of big tech. And big tech being critical of politicians. And politicians being critical of judges. And judges being critical of the cops. And cops being critical of the press. And the press being deeply critical of everything. And on and on and on.

NYTimes being critical of big tech is good. We need more of that sniping in all directions. That's what keeps us safe.

The only time we need to worry, is whenever they all speak with one voice. When that happens, I can guarantee we're getting screwed somehow.

Let big tech and the press go at each other, that's only a win for every regular American. In fact if the press is not doing that, then they aren't doing their job as the fourth estate.
>> I just went to sign up

To Comcast? For the love of God, why?
But Elon Musk didn’t own the company when they signed those NDAs. He’s a “free speech absolutist”. Why would he allow such abominations to be enforced?
Having never worked at a FANG, naturally Twitter sounds so much closer to the norm for me... but I'm a little surprised at how close it is. Maybe it's a mix of inferiority complex and "the mysterious unknown" but I expected more??

Still, Phabricator looks like it has terrible, terrible UX. Is that correct to assume?
Hardly makes it a "scam". Annoying and restricting perhaps.

It also isn't nearly as tight as your 2.2 hours suggests in practice. Gigabit is fast enough that most downloads take seconds so the chances of someone spending hours at full speed is pretty low.

Unlimited is definitely nicer
Well this pricing is out of reach from most of the minorities. I'm not even sure why bring that up?
I'm genuinely curious why he chooses such different personas for Twitter and the press. It seems like maybe he doesn't want to be held accountable for what he does online? I can get this, but I think it's just not tenable. He seems to act with relative poise in interviews, then he acts surprised that people take what he does online seriously.
Is that true? Public perception of Twitter seems to be declining. Let's assume people truly are dissatisfied and are leaving the platform. Why should advertisers be expected to spend their money on something that may not pay off?

If the dust settles and nothing has changed then they'll almost surely come back.
The "for cause" thing is just to save money. I don't think the reason matters as long as there was some reason Elon could use.
haha, I'll be danged

Manu definitely screwed up when he censored that message. I don't think it was intentional, but considering that he's a world class software engineer and he's writing a blog post for software engineers, he should have done a better job
I don't think doas can integrate with PAM, LDAP, and all of that, and the possibilities doas.conf give you are vastly less than what the sudoers file gives you.

> I’m pretty sure 99% of users would be fine with the simpler tool

That probably sound about right, give or take a few %; it probably should be the de-facto default, with sudo being used when doas doesn't suffice. But the question was "why on earth is sudo so complicated?", and the answer to that is "because some people want/need complicated stuff".
So does mine (Australian). However during covid we didn't see much actual enforcement
Oh interesting, it gets 25% more performance than.. a 1660 Ti? A card I bought 3 years ago for $243. Well as long as they're selling it for less than like $320 it should be fair I guess.
Presumably others near you have a simultaneous alternate ISP outage; that being the case, it seems like having an annual cap would work against Starlink’s actual capacity constraint if a lot of customers do as you do.
It is a scam when xfinity advertises unlimited when it is intact not.
I fear Elon may have inadvertently laid off potential baby mommas for his next family. Literally throwing out the baby with the bath water type of situation.
If you're pulling from a queue use a ring buffer.
It's a truly strange conspiracy theory to extrapolate that Musk will simply delete Tweets he doesn't like. About a billion of those get posted each day. It's extremely unlikely he called for it on this one, sounds more like a HR policy.

Smart journalists destroy their own relevancy? Barely anybody reads their articles, that's why they post and link to it from Twitter. And thereby grow a personal audience they can take to any other newspaper.
Or you could go the Clojure route and do the tree-style immutable vectors where the cost is log32(N) for most operations, small enough in all the relevant operations, and you get the amazing usability of immutable data structures that are performant enough in most cases.
> Cool that the new free speech-haven twitter doesn't allow advertising extensions internally or cartoons

See his recent complaint that advertisers are bailing after his Paul Pelosi bullshit. He at least asserts the belief that he's entitled to advertisers, I guess because his "free speech" means everyone else loses freedom of association, or something.
You can get much better performance on DX9..DX11 by using DXVK which doesn't have much in terms of game specific hacks. Intel simply didn't put much effort into implementing the older APIs despite there being thousands of games out there relying on them.

At this point it might be smarter for them to assist in DXVK's development and making that the official way to play older games instead of redoing all the effort that AMD, Nvidia and of course DXVK devs have already done.
That still doesn’t explain most ISP data caps which are often 0.1% or less of advertised bandwidth over a month.

Instead it’s simply a way to segment the market so ISP’s can charge business customers dramatically higher fees.
KiwiFarms was freedom of speech, vile as they were, and I believe they got what they deserved. Freedom of speech doesn't mean freedom from consequences, nor does it guarantee a platform.
This is one of the coolest things I've seen out of twitter.

Now if only if the feed would stop disappearing tweets in the middle of reading them, that would be great.
Are transparency and accountability in their moderation decisions important? I'd say so.

ML/AI also have a host of ethics concerns that I think it's incredibly important to grapple with lest we all slide into a Black Mirror level rabbit hole someday.

Now, it's possible they had unqualified or do-nothing people in those roles; I don't know. But having teams with those goals in general seems quite important for a large social media platform like Twitter.
Isn't this where activist investors like Elliot management, Thirdpoint, Starboard come into the picture? granted they are divestiture activists. But activists come in all kinds these days including ESG. It a way to keep the balance and cull non-performing CEOs.

There’s no reasoning with these people. They’re buck broken to the core.
By the same token, some tech companies, especially Twitter, basically ARE media companies.

I tried to analyze News Corp's annual report to find their R&D spending, the same way I did for six tech companies (https://albertcory50.substack.com/p/should-elon-lay-off-all-...)

Unfortunately, their accounting treatments of software are different, so a direct comparison was quite difficult.

NYT sells ads and also subscriptions; Twitter sells ads and wants to start selling subscriptions. Yeah, NYT pays an editorial staff, but they've been downsizing that pretty relentlessly. The hypothesis is that the two business models will be converging.
yes! that's the purpose! the aruco board I used for the IRL demonstration is actually inspired by the fibonacci pattern!
It’s always read as the Luddite paper of record to me. Not only does it hate all over tech as an industry compulsively, it hates all over technology in general ritually. I can’t imagine how such a directive could change the paper visibly.
I don't leave 1/2 star reviews in general, pretty much every single review has been approved. 5 stars almost never given, either.

It was sort of surprising amazon rejects reviews - the more you know. Only 30% being fake seems like a very low estimate
If the last two years have taught us anything, intelligence is not correlated with the ability to believe conspiracy theories.
While I don't think you're wrong, I think the issue with the hike is being missed. It is a more dangerous situation meeting someone alone in the wilderness (exaggerating a bit) vs meeting them in a very public place that has cameras. That was the intended note.

But I think there are also some complications you're missing. These lifestyles matches can be a form of luck. Maybe you're having a busy week. You're probably paying attention to the app less because of course you will. On the other hand if you're being set up by a friend then that friend can be like "hey, they're busy this week but let's set you up next" and there is more empathy involved.

A major problem with dating apps is that they are trying to be that friend that sets you up but they are doing a really terrible job at replicating what that friend is able to actually do.

Fair. SS is popular nationally across many socio-economic groupings. It’s almost impossible to touch (unlike something like abortion rights, which are widely supported, yet here we are looking at more bans, effectively the opposite of what the majority wants).
I can’t quite put my finger on why, but I find this comment rather funny.
The thing is, what else can NYT, or any mainstream paper do ? The mainstream papers lack the talent or expertise to cover technology rigorously. There are specialized technical publications (e.g., at the level of lwn or anandtech), a few middle of the road ones (e.g., at the level of verge or ars), and then garden variety blog spam and youtube content. NYT has to find some niche that works for its core competence and its reader base. And that would be broad coverage with political undertones. That seems like what they do - mostly useless stuff with occasional well-sourced articles that may have tie ins with public policy.
Critical in the sense you’re using is being skeptical and investigative. Critical in the sense discussed in the tweet is monotone complaining.
> Programming languages aren't just for machines to execute. There are for humans to communicate and collaborate. There are technical concerns of course, but these are secondary to social, economical and aesthetic factors or simply luck.

You're missing the whole point. These non-technical aspects rear their heads in real-world projects, and perhaps are more critical than technical ones. If a language is subpart in its non-technical aspects, developers are very quick to replace them with languages that are better.

And as the OP pointed out, Lisp is rarely seen or showcased in real-world projects.

Why is that?

Yeah and it's a total scam. When I moved into my new house, I called up Cox to see if I could get Fiber installed. They said, "Wow your area is the first in the region to get 2GBPS for $150/mo". I was excited and asked if there would be a data cap, and the rep said yeah 1TB/mo. So I could use up all the allotment in an hour or so I asked, and he said "yup, or you can pay an extra $75 to get unlimited bandwidth". No Thanks.

Got CenturyLink Quantum Fiber, 1GBPS at my house for a flat rate of $65.00/mo and no data caps.
Since this editorialisation was done by Birdwatch and not editorial journalists that call themselves "fact checkers", I'm okay with this.
Isn't linked list the fundamental data structure for LISP? The sweet memory of cons() this and cdr() that are all backed by linked list?

Unfortunately, with the former, you still really get both, since everyone starts the month uncapped...
I don't know why people are so keen to put distance between themselves and HTML. HTML is a rich, expressive markup language with strong accessibility features that is also consistent and simple.

I write in HTML the way some people write in Markdown using the abbreviated (but valid) syntax.

If you avoid closing things that don't need to be closed, and use whitespace (and a syntax-highlighting editor) it's easy to write and easy to eye-parse.

No includes though.
It is very possible for a compacting garbage collector to reorder live objects.
Yes, "they" as in the media at large. I don't know what you're trying to get at with your quotation marks. Most media are corporate owned and by only a few companies. With journalists sharing talking points and share stories (remember JournaList, that was buried quick.) Now they do Slack channels, etc. You can even slowly see a talking point emerge where several large journalist accounts use the same verbiage and phrases, it's kind of interesting to watch.

It has been reported on here on HN multiple times on how a large part of the CA scandal was not actually as big as the media portrayed. The media loves to make a bigger scandal out of something then slowly backtrack it over time. It happens a lot. Scandals get clicks and eyeballs.
It can actually be much cheaper than people might think, you just need to work it out with the business side (and they will correctly allocate for it). You're basically buying a loop to some exchange, and then transit at that exchange.

The reality is nobody is ACTUALLY pushing 1 Gb/s continuous so the expense ain't worth it (the people who are already have it setup).
Because owning a firearm is a right of the people. If you want to raise the age of adulthood so serving in the military and voting than we can talk about raising the age to own a firearm.

I think the cap is intended to drive heavy users to change their behavior or switch to other ISPs.
Whatever, it's advertised right on the front of Xfinity.com, and it's the same damn company. I have numerous emails from them telling me they'll me that I'm close to my monthly limit and they'll fine me if I go over. Comcast are snakes, just like the rest.
Unwatchable? That seems somewhat hyperbolic.

Mere 20 years ago, 720p was on the high end of typical content and perfectly watchable on wall-sized TVs and projection screens.
> It's not surprising or controversial, but it's in direct opposition to the idea that Twitter should allow all legal speech.

The employees probably sign NDAs. It's only a civil suit, but I think that would still fall outside the realm of what he's been preaching. Note, I'm not taking his side or anyone else's.

> Been filling out paper ballots for years. I don't want to vote on a machine. A machine can count my vote. But there should be a paper that goes in the ballot box, so it can be recounted using multiple methods.

And that's what happens here. People vote on paper, they put their paper ballots in a box, a machine counts them, and they are also separately counted by hand, in public.

This makes me feel very, very old. :)
Maybe I'm missing your point entirely, but that's one of the useful aspects of voter secrecy. Given that your vote is secret, your self-reported vote is worth approximately nothing. You could easily sell your vote to two or more parties, with none of them the wiser.

So your result is the expected one. But the outcome would not be the same with most types of harebrained "let's just vote with our phones" that people come up with regularly.

This is also why it is in most countries illegal to take photos or film around the voter booth.
AI magic - yeah, that should do it.

Data.table has got to be the most underrated library ever. If the problem is not big data, but other libraries struggle, fire up data.table and marvel at the sheer speed of it all. On rare tasks when everything was too slow, I'd drop down to c++. Data table essentially made sure that was pretty much never required.

Markdown is pretty great, I would even say the idea is genius. however markdown is a terrible markup language, it completely fails to add any sort of semantic meaning to the text.

So people keep trying to add the semantic bits onto markdown, a process which I would argue destroys the genius of markdown in the first place.

Markdown is intended to be a nice looking text document. with strict limits on the format so that it can be transformed into a nice looking typeset document. If your base text document does not look great, you are doing markdown wrong. You would be better off with an actual markup language. This is also why I think markdown editors are wrong. again the whole point of markdown is to have a great looking text document, a text editor is perfect for this, any other specialized editor will produce a bad looking document.
It's not a binary choice. The throttling at the point of congestion is unavoidable (though the ISP can choose to be more or less fair about this throttling). The monthly cap is optional.
