> Because NASA was usually about pushing the limits of science and engineering, not making money on space launches.

Pushing science and engineering requires using money wisely, and creating a reusable launch vehicle is an obvious way to do that. In fact NASA did have multiple efforts that ultimately stalled, and literally none of them looked like what SpaceX did. You simply have no basis upon which to claim that SpaceX's reusable launch vehicles were not innovative.

> You're the one claiming SpaceX was created to address an existential crisis. I'm telling you SpaceX is not bringing us any closer to being an interplanetary species, and if Musk cared about this goal, he wouldn't have invested in SpaceX to begin with.

I honestly have no idea how you can conclude this. We're taking our first baby steps into space and you're saying baby steps are meaningless because they're far from running marathons. This argument is incredibly unconvincing.

> No, they can't. Replacing all ICEs with EVs would basically require doubling the electricity grid in the USA for example, and that is simply not a realistic possibility

The grid needs to expand anyway to handle renewable intermittency. You're also assuming that EVs would be powered from the grid. Tesla has the powerwall and solar roof tiles to address distributed power generation rather than reliance on the grid for everything.

> So, the realistic goal is to significantly expand the much much more efficient public transport (trains, buses, trams, metro) to significantly reduce the amount of cars (which will also do wonders for reducing congestion), and convert just the remaining cars to EVs, at a rate that can be supported by the grid while also shutting down existing coal, oil and gas power production.

What I'm reading here is that Musk's Tesla is addressing the existential risk of climate change, just not in the way you personally think it should be addressed. Seems beside the point frankly.
> There's no analogue to that highly leveraged dependence on rate-sensitive assets among the FAANG tech giants today.

The open question is how much VC spending (this was how easy money flooded into tech) poured into compute and ad spending, how much will it pull back, and what share of FAANG's revenue was it.
Sure, but that is revenue, not valuation, which can be lower (or higher).

For example, Walmart has 560B+ revenue per year and a market cap of 380B.
And some positions allow you to vote for "up to" some number of candidates.
Town selectman is a typical example.
It's "straightforward and cheap" because it always rules against the consumer. That's not a desired property of an adjudicator.
How Western Tech in Iranian Drones Is Helping Russia Wage War on Ukraine
I am perplexed by the success Cal Newport has had with ideas that are either trivial or whose application is so context-dependent, such as the theme developed in this verbose article, that making parallels evokes the classic "Oh, interesting" response--without follow-up--from the reader.

I read his first books (3 or 4?).
"Deep work" - no kidding. Who in their life has ever heard the advice "just get distracted, it will work for you"? No one.
The how depends very much on the context.

"Be so good that they won't be able to ignore you" - sounds good, especially for a nerdy audience that has a hard time getting exposure, but it is often much better to get good enough and spend the remaining time working hard to get noticed, or "playing the game," since there is always a game going on.

In this particular article, the hunter-gatherer remote work/lifestyle parallel is so forced as to be simply puzzling. First, hunter-gatherer groups were small and required very little coordination, whereas modern companies, when they are larger than a few hundred individuals (I am generous, I might say larger than a few dozen) require coordination overhead--being "on the same" page is quite important--which completely changes group dynamics.

Of course, one might say, but how inefficient or ineffective are all these meetings, e-mails, notifications on Slack, etc., I just want to code or get my brilliant ideas accepted without further discussion. And we all agree there are better or worse ways to get things done at the organizational level (that's an important point), and some companies work better than others and some stages of company life are more conducive to good work and good results. But the reality of group dynamics is that 30 people in a startup or hunter-gatherer groups to get a result at the organizational level (no one dies in the hg group or a product is shipped to the startup) need to work in ways that are very different from those that need to happen in a large organization.

Then leaving aside the caloric issue that inevitably makes the living conditions of a 30-hg group very different from those of thousands of people who depend on agricultural products.
I have come to conclude that WG14 literally doesn't care about security, for them C should stay as a kind of portable macro assembler with amenities, and the same security guarantees as writing raw Assembly code.

Even the pseudo secure Annex K, requires separate arguments for actual length and max buffer length, thus defeating the purpose of being library functions for secure code.

Just having one of the many libraries that provide secure strings and vector handling, so that libraries can rely on a common vocabulary types would be an improvement.
On SpaceX this is false as it was entirely his vision alone from the get-go. There was (is) a joke in aerospace. How do you become a millionaire? Be a billionaire and start an aerospace company. Until SpaceX it was just a blackhole of money in spite of plenty of very clever individuals, including John Carmack, trying to their hand at it.

On Tesla this your statement is technically true, but misleading. 7 months after the company was founded, and made up of just a handful of people, Musk invested and became the majority shareholder and chairman of the board. He would go on to eventually remove the original founders of the company (over disagreements that were never publicly revealed) before production began on their first product. The original founders played no meaningful role in the company we now know as Tesla.
Wayback Machine will remove archived tweets. For example, Taylor Lorenz’s tweets were erased after she requested it.[1] Other archives get removed if the people running the Internet Archive dislike the content. Similar to how Paypal isn’t a bank and eBay isn’t an auction site, The Internet Archive isn’t an archive.

We are too exhausted and disconnected from eachother in real life to organize a revolution. This is by design.
Do you have a link to the content blocking APIs to integrate with arbitrary apps? For example, random game apps which show in app ads. VPN adblockers can block the ads there. How do I use a content blocking api to do this?
How much have you raised prices? Most companies are using this as an excuse to pad their profit margins.

https://thehill.com/policy/finance/3715725-rising-profits-ar....
True, but relatively few of those million were in the workforce.
3,700 employees @ $500/day would be $1.85M / day. Ouch.
Which content-blocking APIs are you talking about? Blockada just started hosting a DNS server. Google just made it so that blocking decisions can't be made locally anymore and all my used domain names are sent to a third-party server. Given deployment of SSL and even cert pinning in almost all apps I know of, I doubt the local VPN API allowed them to gather much more info than hostnames either.

I still use Firefox privately, and it's still an excellent browser as far as I can tell, but it's disappointing to see that Mozilla seems to be more about making their CEO a quick buck than about growing Firefox.
The blurring in this case is just a natural consequence of throwing away all the high-frequency DCT components. And since DCT is used to create JPEGs there are highly optimized versions available.
I had a bout of post-viral fatigue syndrome after catching "something"[1] back in April. It felt a lot like my previous bouts with depression. It got me wondering if maybe "Long COVID" might be, in at least some part, an existential crisis, realizing that--despite masking, despite social distancing--one has very little control over one's own mortality.

[1] me: So it's not COVID and not the flu?

doc: Yeah, there's something going around.

me: So I just have "something".

doc: Yeah.
How many other company internal communications tweets have there been that stay up?

Interesting insight. Thanks!
Some devices including ones from Google will go to 8.8.8.8 even if you've got adblocking DNS. You'd need to set a firewall rule to redirect all 53/udp traffic to your pihole.
Yup.

Coincidentally the interest on the debt Musk used to purchase Twitter is reported to be about $1 billion a year.
Even of that leads to hanging chads potentially costing a presidency again?
Sure, at this point. Yishan resigned from Reddit in 2014.
I don't understand how anyone could not blame activists for this? They themselves are taking credit for it.
EU Commission has quite extensive and nimble executive powers with regard to gatekeepers like Google and Apple to prevent that.
Fair enough, but is Brazil a target that would be valuable to destabilize by electronic tampering in its elections?

Not so sure about that, with a certain clickbait coverage of solarwinds story creating bad PR for Jetbrains, (perhaps among the least controversial tech companies).

That's what happens when liberal arts people think they're too delicate to understand anything more nuanced than US political thing of the day.
It feels like a lifetime ago, but one of my first online projects included discussion boards for literature and movies. You can still browse them:

Literature: https://www.gnooks.com/discussion/

Movies: https://www.gnovies.com/discussion/

There must be around 100k forums in there. It was a pretty crowded place back then with a lot of cool people. Moderation was a full time job though. And very stressful.

As ads became less and less of a way to make an income online, at some point it was just too much work to justify continuing it. So I closed them.

I still fantasize about reopening them one day. Maybe with paid memberships. That would allow to keep the work under control (because fewer people sign up) and to pay someone to do the moderation.

PS: Man, I haven't looked at the discussion boards for years. Now that I do, I notice how archaic it is to not have suggestions in the search bar. You have to type the exact author name to get to the right board. One moment, let me implement typeaheads ... I'll be right back ... done!
The costs are not the problem.

We can barely get to the Moon and have no realistic prospect of making a self-sustaining Mars colony any time soon.

How is it credible to claim we can build starships that can cross lightyears without technological or sociopolitical problems?

The engines - which we're nowhere close to creating - are the easy part.
I don't think the decision to lay off the teams is odd. It is quite clear that Elon Musk's plan is "We're going to fix this by firing 90% of you and expect the remaining 10% to work 10x harder". They're not dumping any of these ideas, they're just expecting to deliver them with far fewer engineers (who, btw, will not be earning 10x salaries).
Right now there are 1200 comments here. The drama you are looking for may be closer than you expect.
> Leaking a private slack can be political activism for worker's rights.

Unless she's acting as a "whistleblower", then that argument carries zero weight.
it's known that companies are raising prices beyond the levels of inflation that are affecting their supply, just so they can get more profit out of it.

Here is the most unlikely citation you'll ever see me post on Hacker News. On FOX News no less, bizarrely hosting an op-ed by Bernie Sanders! But this is the key graf:

> According to a recent study, nearly 54% of the rise in inflation is directly attributable to the astronomical increase in corporate profit margins. In America today, while the working class struggles to put food on the table, fill up their gas tanks and heat their homes, corporate profits are at a 70-year-high.

https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/our-economic-crisis-isnt-inf...

The next several paragraphs are then specific examples: oil industry, airlines, agribusiness, with examples of their profit margins increasing significantly.

now, "a recent study", blah blah where are the numbers etc., sure. However, that's the argument, take it or leave it. Bernie tends to be pretty accurate when he cites stats.

Is that fair? The criticism about these deleted posts seems to be pointing out the contradiction between the claim of widening the speech available and the way that it is being limited here, not that Twitter has no right to do it.
"ADHD" needs a rebranding... move away from clinical diagnosis from medical professionals which can be "heartbreaking" or "liberating" to coaches/advisors running community groups which build frameworks for these like minded, like personality individuals (and their associated family/friends) to operate in (like a 'club') and to help educate others (advocacy).

People with "ADHD" are already covered by the Big Five Personality Traits https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Five_personality_traits like every other person is.
Would this affect UBO?

I would change browsers if so. Ads trigger me. The change would suck since I have developed/use my own Chrome Extensions.

I assume no by VPN vs. extension.
Is that a fact, or are you stating that is the implication of the parent comment?
are there alternative app stores on iOS?

Or maybe he is just a dumb guy who believes his own bullshit but ultimately doesn't know what he is doing. How much do we have to hear about the chaos behind the scenes at his companies before people start to realize this whole thing possibly isn't a well orchestrated plan?
Humanity was faced with an existential crisis that woke them up to realize there is more to life than working to go buy stuff.
Oh, I get it, I've been a victim of homophonia myself in the past.
Well that's not true. We know lots of things, including that Twitter is an ad network, that large companies tend to spend a lot on advertising, and that they seem to be defecting. That's all information. We happen not to know the exact % of rev from these companies, but that doesn't mean we know nothing.
The big one was the fact that silently installing apps was a privileged permission only allowed to preloaded system apps (with good reason). This prevented 3rd party stores from background updating apps because you had to manually confirm each update via system dialog.

The API seems to have been added in Android 12 actually [1], but I'm not sure if app stores use it already.

A colleague of mine had such symptoms, twice a year for a week or so (spring and autumn).
He went through a lot of information and eventually found out that he had cluster headach/migraine.
There is nothing that helps removing it but some techniques to cope the pain.
For him, bouncing an empty plastic bottle on the head just helped endure the hardest times after so many years. I guess you would do everything as long as it helps.
Just looking at her account, her tweet about being fired/laid off is still there. I don't know what it originally was, but it seems like a picture was posted and depending on what it was might have been the issue. Like if it was a bunch of her coworkers in the office maybe that was against the rules for whatever reason.
I had 6 servers out of about 50 go down, all in Dallas/Atlanta even though most servers are in Newark. IPv6 connectivity seemed to remain up for all of them, though.
Well, the one good thing about this is it has forced me to learn about Tor and to download the Tor browser. I'd heard about Tor before, but never really looked into it.

Yeah, not

I mean it is possible to read it, but I would not say it is optimized for it. Which I suppose betrays the goal.
It does not because there is no coaching that fixes ADHD. It's almost like they are offering coaching for cancer. Just not going to work and taking advantage of vulnerable.
Twitter won't die, but it won't make much of a profit either. Elon Musk will find another buyer in 2 years for $25 billion and make most of his money back while leaving the company saddled with most of the $11 billion in debt financing.
There are other billionaires out there doing good things, without needing to have a weekly news scandal:

Bill gates foundation has made tremendous progress with healthcare in developing countries. He’s probably made as much progress that can made in these countries as the walls he’s hitting seem to be corrupt/incompetent governments rather and money or technical.

Mark Cuban’s cost plus drugs company is making a life changing difference for Americans paying a lot per month in medicine, often saving their customers hundreds of dollars per month, and committed to expanding their selection of generic medicines.
Wow imagine creating ai driven platforms that dominate our attention causing people to stare at their phones for 6+ hours a day in the name of progress and then being confused as to why people aren’t doing just more and more on top of more
> the measure of how much output in goods and services an employee can produce in an hour

That doesn't necessarily need to be related to worker efficiency at all? If we are measuring the output in monetary terms then inflation will bring it down?

>There's no actual "free market" in the way you're thinking of. Thumbs will always be on scales.

I don't follow this argument. Principles can't be replicated perfectly in reality, therefore they don't exist? By that logic, there is no actual "copyright" as some people will be copying material and getting away with it.

>the people who own the machinery end up owning and controlling EVERYTHING, and the creator gets nothing.

This is proven wrong through any single example to the contrary. One example is ticketed book readings by the original author, or a ticketed concert by the original band. Many ways to capture income for generating content without copyright enforcement mechanisms.

>what's going on with Stable Diffusion and Copilot (and perhaps Spotify and Google before them) -- the people who own the machinery end up owning and controlling EVERYTHING, and the creator gets nothing.

Is this an argument for or against copyright? Does Google get most of its operating revenue within nations without copyright law? Or is the argument they are violating copyright law and that's why the creator isn't getting anything?

And there are counter examples, where a creator sells/relinquishes copyright (often because it's the only way for them to end up with anything) and ends up losing total access to income streams they could have had if copyright didn't exist, and the machinery owner ends up owning everything and locking the creator out through copyright law. The confusion also lies in the fact creator and copyright holder is not the same thing.
Didn't seem like they were trying to diminish anything. The specifically called out how terrible the administration of the health programs are.
Those data lag real time quite significantly.

Interestingly, according to a recent poll, most Americans believe the U.S. is now in a recession. That belief alone may be enough to make a recession a reality.

This is a really tired take since it's not something that could possibly ever be known by you or anyone else not immediately close to Elon, and it's impossible for anyone else to refute it because they have the exact same lack of insight into whether Elon is putting on a performance every time he leaves the house.
> This is popular because it seems simple. Take one number and judge an entire organization by it.

For NGOs receiving donations, it's an incredibly useful number because it shows how much of your donation actually ends up at the purpose you're donating for. Maybe it's less relevant for Mozilla because their income comes mostly from Google.

> Don’t even look at growth or impact.

Growth doesn't make Mozilla look very good either.
Because the vpn client and server run locally, with no remote dependency. This is how NetGuard and many others work.
It does but it's kinda a pain for use for anything but scripting languages in my experience.

They way it scales doesn't fit well with C/C++/Rust/Scala/Java/etc. build systems and test runners.

I'm also having problems with it at work all the time, like task randomly being reported as canceled after they already passed. Or task after completion hanging for well over 30min until some internal timeout triggers and they then get reported as failure. Or a task being reported as succeeded to the UI and as failed to follow up tasks. (All issues I ran into just in the last week :=(, some might be caused by us having to use local GH Actio runners due to how GH Actions work, but I also have seen all this problems before we started using local runners so probably not).
Doug Ford wants to invoke Notwithstanding Clause
Ontario teachers want to go on strike after failed negotiations. They are not being paid enough to have any semblance of decent life. Provincial Government could declare them essential service. This will put teachers back to work and force an arbitration which would normally give them some decent deal.

Instead our Ford threatens Notwithstanding Clause - this unique Canadian abomination of basic rights. Which is basically - fuck you and fuck you rights, we will do as we please. All after voting huge salary increase for our "servants".

This whole Notwithstanding clause and politicians like Ford make a mockery of basic human rights. It just does not belong to a democratic societies.

Ford go drink your beer with Xi.

Memo Sent to Twitter Employees Ahead of Layoffs
Thanks for the kind words on our site!

We're definitely aligned / agree that it's really hard to get affordable care. Unfortunately, we've found that our members have tried (but haven't succeeded) in finding a good therapist who is ADHD-informed and can do the specific things they are looking for in regards to coaching. Additionally, we definitely acknowledge that we provide a completely different service than psychologists / psychiatrists, and we work hand in hand with them post diagnosis. We do not offer diagnostics or pharmaceuticals and rely on other medical professionals externally to do so.

Also agree on not using gamification to worsen symptoms. That's something we consider very deeply with our clinical team to ensure we don't exacerbate our relationships to our phone. I'm personally a client on our platform and have that in mind constantly!

Thank you so much for the good luck!
