Agreed. He probably didn’t let go many infra people. If some product teams were reduced in size and will become slower at butchering the UI, the user will only benefit.
However good the software gets at providing a desktop / working environment, I simply couldn't handle shutting myself off like that, just wouldn't find it comfortable.

Unless you somehow know that wouldn't bother you, I'd recommend trying it first (or sufficiently within return window) before getting too set on the idea.

That's one source of information about WDMs being false, and that may indeed have been knowable at that time. But lack of proof does not prove the opposite, it does not prove that Saddam did not have WDMs.

Saddam had used WDMs on multiple occasions in the past and it was not unreasonable to think he would use them again, even without any proof he had any more. It's not all that hard to hide those weapons if you are a dictator. The US made the mistake of presenting this incorrect piece of information. But reporting reasonable sounding information from an intelligence agency, even if that later turns out to be false, does not make the Washington Post a "liar" or a "state mouthpiece", as the grand parent claimed.
It doesn't matter ... too much.

I've been on Mastodon since 2016. I've switched instances twice, once when the instance was shut down (the maintainer gave several months' notice), once when instance ownership changed.

The first time was early enough that profile migration didn't exist ... and it still wasn't much of a deal. I follow a few hundred profiles, and am followed by about 2,000. It turns out that it's pretty easy to re-associate, at least for individuals. (Commercial / brand profiles with large follow/follower lists would have a different experience.) We reconnected pretty easily.

The more recent switch used profile migration. This brings along your followers / following lists, as well as block and mute lists, and is straightforward. Toots are not migrated, but for the most part Mastodon "lives in the present", and the back-catalogue isn't particularly significant. (I care more about this than most, and ... it's still not that big a deal.)

I actually have several active profiles, though all are forwarded to my primary active one: <https://toot.cat/@dredmorbius>. Again, if I need to fallback to another instance, I can.

Larger instances tend to be fairly anodyne. Smaller instances tend to fit niches, of both specific interests and policies. Pick something that looks reasonable. If you decide you want to change at a later date, it's not a big deal.
> The only citizens extreme enough to correct this happened to also be religious extremists

That's not what happens; it's that in these neo-colonialist situations, all secular dissidents can be imprisoned and murdered (with US help), but religious dissidents can't safely be. So when the revolution succeeds, the religious take over. Same thing happened with Morsi in Egypt.

I think it's really funny that the actual legal notice that's now on the site has a background image that could come from a 90s hacker movie.
The key idea here is that managers of a company have a fiduciary duty to act in the best interest of the company, and not to work on their own side projects. He certainly could make employee do what he wants, but it's not legal and is why people are unhappy.

It's hard to say whether it _should_ go to journalists. Even before the digital era, newspapers largely made money through advertisements, not subscriptions. They were monetizing eyeballs just as much as the Facebooks or Googles of the world do. In their case they brought in the eyeballs through their content (whether responsible journalism or tabloid-trash) and monetized them through also showing ads to the same eyeballs.

The difference is that journalism no longer has a pseudo-monopoly on the kinds of things they historically did (content, distribution, eyeballs etc.).

My grandfather read the whole newspaper every morning. In one day I think I read a LOT more content than him but it is spread over a wide variety of surfaces, print, websites (no single author) etc.
The $600 million figure is specific and new to me.

This puts Twitters losses over the next year at nearly $2,100 million by my count. It's no wonder that Elon feels the need to fire everybody.
Oh lord I just made that parallel between the kid who took over freenode and Elon the other day. Both spoiled brats.

The two situations are actually very similar, even down to the crowd that took over freenode when everyone sane left for libera.
According to some random dude on the internet, the -$4M is mostly Elons interest on his loan, and not the actual Twitter operating loss. Can someone check the math on this?

I think a lot of people are going to jump in here making this same point, so just to clear it up: what I'm saying isn't incompatible with any grand design Musk might have on Twitter.

I personally think Musk ended up with Twitter because he lost a game of chicken with Parag Agrawal, for whom there should be a marble statue erected in Bowling Green commemorating him as a hero of shareholder value. You can think otherwise. You're wrong, but it doesn't matter! We can arrive at the same analysis.

Whatever Musk's grand strategy is, his first order of business is to strip Twitter down to some efficient core. He'll want to put his own big plans in place, not Parag's. Even if you think Musk really wanted Twitter, he certainly didn't want it because he thought there was a lot of value locked up in Twitter's internal plans.

The point is just: Twitter was bound to get a bunch smaller in the near term because the first order of business here is to do a reset, and to shake off all the long-term bets Twitter was making. Public Twitter had to make those bets; otherwise, the only way to value it would be on the ad revenue it was already bringing in.
> Very few companies make more than a million per employee.

Yeah, and they hire a whole lot of programmers, which is where the top prices come from.

Well it is very directly the reason I have heard given for the process of always hiring everyone that passes the filter without regard to old fashioned concepts as "job openings".

"Making progress" here is saying that they are doing it but their job is not done. It's not taking a derivative.

"Making progress in slowing" is the same as "slowing", basically.

They are celebrating a decrease in the rate of price increases.

For Nixon, there was still an increasing of the rate of price increases.
Have they launched it? My Twitter Blue thing still says $4.99. How do I pay for this?
Did you expect it to crash the second people were let go? It’s not like they power Twitter servers with power-generating bicycles.
I liked facebook in the early days of popular adoption as it got the normal people I know using the internet more like I had been for a long time. But it went wrong after that and it's an platform that's lost a great deal of its value.
Except for a bit small text on the top menu, everything else looks good on my phone.
No, you don't need it if you use block-level elements (like div, header, nav, main, footer). Block elements always start on a new line and are therefore always one after the other in a column direction. This is part of HTML and will not go away.

Assuming we’re in a world where fact checking by the platform in some capacity makes sense then this then this feels like the right way to do it.

Another way would letting fact checking by an extension of the report feature where you can say, “woah this needs some context” and write a reply or link to your article discussing the issue. And the Twitter moderators just decide whether to show it in the privileged spot with attribution. Bonus if the moderators can highlight a person’s credentials if they happen to be an expert in the topic or directly related to the events.

It is easy to manipulate.

Thanks, I don't remember exactly how it worked. It doesn't take away from the stupidity.
Such schema in the banking is not unique to France unfortunately, I've seen that in other European countries and Canada as well.
And that is solely the business of myself and my email provider. It's my email address, and therefore I am within my rights to assign whatever internal meaning I so choose. It is absolutely not the business of someone sending an email whether or not that opaque text has further-parseable meaning, and pretending otherwise absolutely will cause bugs (say, when sending emails to mailservers which don't use that alias syntax).

EDIT:

> If your email provider is free to "break" the spec, so are people you give your id to.

Wrong. See above. The email provider is free to "break" the spec because it is the thing in control of that email address and can therefore process it as it sees fit. The people to whom I give an ID are not my email provider, and therefore do not have the same degree of control; consequently, attempting to parse meaning from that opaque string will cause bugs, and also is a dick move which will not be tolerated.

If you're defending this practice because you, too, are parsing the opaque components of email addresses which you do not control, then I will take note to look into your code contributions as well and avoid anything you've touched.

Do. Not. Parse. The. Local-part. For. Aliases. Full stop. It's my email address, not yours. Respect how I enter it, or else remove it from your system entirely. Anything different is asking for bugs and is blatantly disrepsectful to users.
I mean... do you want me to google "Republican social security plan" for you. It's not really controversial that they want to cut it.

I think it'll prove to be a massive need, as it removes a lot of points of friction.

When people have electronic cash on their device, they can, at least in theory, do things like pay $0.01 to bypass a paywall and read an article on a website they just found, without registering with the website or entering their credit card details, and without the website needing to have an account with the same trusted third party payment network as them.

This kind of seamless commercial interaction is made for the jurisdiction transcending internet age.

Also, I think the vast majority don't like the idea of internet commerce being controlled and gatekept by a handful of multinational corporations who run the proprietary payment networks, and decentralized digital currency offers a clear way to fix that.
I have definitely tried to use VR in a car while someone's driving I don't get motion sickness very easy so I often try to make myself throw up. When I first tried VR something was bugged with elite dangerous and so I was just sitting there doing as many barrel rolls and backflips as possible trying to make myself throw up and one of my co-workers came in looked at the 2D monitor asked me what I was doing said they got very motion sick easily and then about 10 seconds later I started hearing gagging the 2D was making them nauseous and it wasn't even bothering me.

Yeah we were driving across Texas going to a lake and I was sitting in the passenger seat so I figured I would try out and see how it worked. It did not it freaked out constantly. I think if you had a vibe with a laser tracking system it would actually work but that would be interesting to mount inside of a suburban.

One of my favorite things I ever did was sitting in the bendy middle section of a bus in Seattle which constantly moves while going up and down the hills and playing super stardust HD on Vita that almost got me.
Actually on Mastodon you can change servers and keep your followers and follows.

It has a built in mail forwarding process.

Most internet users were given an email address with their service, for free, with no setup, care, feeding, or even a single iota of further thought required. If sending and receiving email back then required as much screwing around then as setting up Mastodon does today, do you think it would be as ubiquitous?
Public perception is declining, but that's in spite of nothing having happened.

I vaguely remember a test framework I saw a decade+ ago that had both "assert*" to fail immediately and something else ("expect*" maybe?) to check and continue.
The Quest Pro has full colour pass-through mode I believe. So it shouldn't feel so much like shutting yourself off as it does with other VR headsets. Plus, they're not fully enclosed so you still have peripheral vision.

Would be awkward using them in public though...
Unfortunately, in the unlikely event of these two companies completely disappearing, there'll be plenty of others as bad or worse to take their place.
That's a completely different level.

Is it that big of a deal?

Apparently it represents only 10-15% of the ads for a year, so just a bit more than a month.

Not only that but the fact that it isn't pre-sold due to uncertainty does not mean that it won't be sold later, during the year, when (if) advertisers see that Musk's Twitter isn't that awful after all.

I also imagine that the budget of advertisers that doesn't go to Twitter doesn't necessarily or fully go to other platforms.

Advertisers that wanted to reach Twitter users in 2022 most likely still want to reach Twitter users in 2023, so I'm not convinced that they won't end up giving that money to Twitter anyway during the year.

I wouldn't invest a single dollar in Twitter at the moment (we can't anymore anyway), but this honestly doesn't seem to me like something apocalyptic for them.
Rather insightful on (2) with regard to:

> ... we need to start protecting against the person in front of the device

My first thought was, "Oh, God, please don't". I'm a parent, if I put that software on the computer it comes with rules not to touch it; if it's touched, they know I'll probably find out, ban them from it for a bit and return it to them locked down in a manner that when I return it to its original state, they won't touch it again. :o).

But then I thought of the other common reason this kind of capability is added to software -- are you preparing for the eventual future where you will have to do this, not to protect from a child removing the software, but to protect from another app surreptitiously removing Portmaster in order to bypass its protections?
Low voltages near zero on any pin either + or - side are ignored, below a certain threshold of absolute voltage either way it's no-man's land. Signals are only considered real if they are boldly above the threshold, preferably close to +/- 12VDC either way to reliably qualify as a space or a mark, but no higher amplitude than +/- 25VDC.

This helps to compensate for unavoidable differences in absolute ground potential between remote locations.

The data signal is basically just square waves since it's ones & zeros, but hook a speaker up properly and that's the unforgotten audio sound of dial-up internet.
Thanks! It totally went over my head, I thought you must have had some justification due to the quotes.
It did work a little bit better in a plane when I tried it however I couldn't get past the unlock screen because I hadn't quite paired it correctly and I didn't have internet and the quest needed to do something with the internet. This actually brings up one of the biggest issues I have with some of these systems is they are too tied to the internet for remote work
I wish there was an easy way to embed a KiCad layout to a webpage in a zoomable format for design reviews. One way is to export an SVG file and show it on the web, but in my experience this starts to choke on large boards.

I do hope you find allies. There are people out there with genuine conservationist intent. These days I hear way more about the people who insist on their rights to do whatever they want with "their" land.
> There are upgrades that you really need: A better head strap, ideally one with an adjustment knob at the back to easily loosen and tighten the headset. Also one with an extra battery that both gives you longer unplugged time but more importantly balances the headset front to back.

IMO, until VR gets the size and weight of safety goggles you need the device to rest on your forehead. The PSVR is still the single most comformtable VR system that's shipped because there is no pressure on your face whatsoever.

Apparently you can get these for Quest 2. Here's one. Don't own a Quest 2 though so I haven't tried it

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B599S56K

I go have a Rift S. It tried to copy PSVR but failed to make it as good. You have really crank the back of the head strap below the ridge of the back of your head to get the HMD to rest on your forehead and not your face, and then it slowly slides and it's back to resting on your face.

Let me also add, if the thing requires a strap that goes over the top of your head then it's a fail!
Bleh, I find your position is boring because it's so easily shown to be unworkable.

Imagine there have a platform run as you suggest and I don't like what you're saying on it: I flood you and anyone that supports you with not-quite-illegal abuse, misinformation, non-sense, spam, false flag support from people with deplorable views. Copy-cats of you that take your positions but weakly argued or with a touch of added genocide. At the end of the day almost no one will see what you wrote, and most of those that do will think you're probably a kook with deplorable views (since that's what you're surrounded with).

Censorship that works by outright blocking speech is a largely outmoded concept in a world where communications networks connect every one to everyone else. In such a world flooding with noise that undermines the conversations people want to have and undermines their willingness to attempt the conversations is a more effective tool to censor communications. Outright blocking isn't very effective, unless it's done secretly, because people will route around it and plugging leaks is extremely hard (requiring essentially AI complete filtering).

As such, censorship is now essentially its own opposite.

This means there really are no magical silver bullets. We ought to stop pretending that private spaces are public squares though-- though this is a problem offline too: with eminent domain being used to seize land and create giant privately owned open air shopping malls in many places... but at least offline doesn't have the same scaling properties that make it so easy to censor by inundating with noise.
> But if you are concerned about subscribing to something twice

I'm concerned about some service collecting my email address and "accidentally" exposing it to spammers.

> Of more interest to me, omitted from the presentation--as almost always--is anything about what is disliked about a malformed address. You see this when some web form says it doesn't like your address, but won't say why, leaving you to guess and try things until it is satisfied.

That is indeed yet another reason why you should never ever try to parse meaning from email addresses you do not own.
HTML escaping requires you to look for characters to escape for it to not interfere with HTML. This is quite literally validating symbols in the input. If they fail validation they need to be escaped. It's literally IMPOSSIBLE to do escaping without first validating every single symbol in the input.
I edited to remove this, because it detracts from the point, despite the fact that the Supreme Court has specifically ruled that ALL hate speech legislation in the U.S. is unconstitutional.

Whether or not "nothing of value was lost" depends on how much you value the freedom of Iranians.

Personally, I only downvote content that violates the rules or is spam. Since a downvote is the first step to having content hidden, downvoting things just because you disagree with them makes you a censor. That's not a good thing to be, yet the companies offering downvotes know about and encourage this behavior. Don't you ever wonder why? State actors routinely use these tools to silence their critics, and yet you play ball.
