> For the exact reason I'm being down voted.

> The exact reason Elon Musk is laying these people off.

Still not sure what you're talking about. Are you saying that you're being downvoted because Twitter is reducing costs?
If you can construct it as central unit for few streets it looks as pretty great solution.

"Buy" cheap PV electricity off house owners during the day and "sell" them heat in off-peak hours.

You're basically competing with hybrid inverter + battery storage + heat pump which is not cheap per house but even if heat storage might be cheap, that's plenty of initial cost to install all the piping.
I'm sensing this tremendous tension and anxiety in Canada too. Hopefully our energy sector will buoy things a bit so they don't get too terrible.
Founder’s daughter has been CFO for over 10 years though
It is possible? Amusing coming from the guy that went into a fit over the mention clutches pearls... drugs. I'll take note. As if Musk isn't known for getting high on weed or taking other drugs.

Who said you couldn't voice your opinion? I was pointing out you haven't given anyone any reason to take your post more seriously than the one you insist shouldn't be taken seriously.
Could be, but it is certainly not how it works at my org.
Nitpick, but this kind of "paid but not working", also known as Garden Leave in the UK at least, often needs to be specified in the contract. Otherwise the employee could argue in some jurisdictions that this is demeaning behaviour etc.

No idea about the actual jurisdiction in question...
Not if they started it a few weeks ago.
That's a good question: Why not?

The USA "ideals" taught in school say that democracy and democratic republics are the best forms of government.... yet (almost) all our companies are autocratic dictatorships.
It’s too early to claim it’s dead but he’s right that it’s a coin toss to see if the service can stay running (without downtime). With 50% layoffs (and the rumors of how lax their security was) it’s only a matter of time before the on-call needed to save some issue won’t exist. A breach or bug or something is inevitable. Remember when meta -a far bigger and richer company- messed up basic networking and took the company down for a day?

Regardless of how you feel about free speech, not everyone likes it. Even the perception that twitter is getting toxic will drive people away… except the toxic people. The only thing holding twitter up is that there’s no alternative for the people that matter - the “blue checks” who drive most of their traffic and engagement. Yet Elon managed to piss them off anyways.
I also prefer to use these in place of # and ## for <h1>/<h2> - IMO it makes document cleaner and easier for reader to parse when markdown files are viewed as plain-text.
But when someone buys out this company and changes guidelines what can be shared and what not -> ppl get instantly mad and baby rage.

Why? Its a private company..
He approached twitter and signed a binding contract to buy them. They simply made him follow what he himself agreed to do in writing. If it's a dumpster fire then what does that make Elon for willingly signing a contract to buy it for $45 billion?

Actions have consequences which is a basic thing that it seems some people have a really hard time understanding.

edit: If one can ignore contracts at will then much of modern society implodes.
Do you have some examples of Musk marketing his successes?

Elon has owned Twitter for less than a week. What are your thoughts around declaring his ownership a complete failure?
> We understand that life doesn't always go according to plan. Shimmer members can cancel or reschedule a coaching video call without penalty 24 hours in advance. If cancellation is within 24 hours, the session will be forfeited for the week. Thank you for your understanding!

I understand your need to ensure your time is not wasted, but policies like this can wreak havoc on people struggling with executive dysfunction and that's your target audience. I don't know what the right solution is, but a company serving this market needs a more flexible policy for something like this.
Do you mean Twitter in it’s entirety is like a respectable newspaper that should edit all their content for correctness and propriety?
Well, it's kinda late in the game for him to starting stating the obvious, and kind of non-specific.

But I suppose it's nice that he's at least implying that there might be negative consequences from China if Russia uses nuclear weapons. Right now China is providing a lot of the trade that Russia uses to keep engaging in the war. Which means it's also the only country with any leverage to end it, shy of the West starting military intervention that would almost surely escalate to armageddon.

I'd rather Xi said, "You're already committing massive war crimes even without nuclear weapons so we're joining the boycott against you until you give up", but at least he's establishing some kind of limit.
Do you think that a person who is great at coding games is also great at coming up with good game ideas to code?
> I mean that honestly; I know there's a downturn and it'll probably continue, but my instinct is that something so widely talked about and accepted will probably not be as bad as it seems. Again I have no proof and maybe my instincts are totally wrong, but that's the feeling

Pretty much the center of opinion in mid-2006 was that the housing market was in a "slowdown" but that any recession would be brief, talk of "soft landings" and everything else. Everyone could see that it was rolling over, but there was a lot of optimistic talk about it.

Your opinion here is almost exactly the opinion seen 6-12 months before a strong recession.

There was some discussion of a contraction/recession due to the spike in commodities around 2014 by economists, but that never quite developed into a broad common opinion that a recession was due. And there was no Fed rate hike cycle starting then (since the Fed knew that inflation that was confined to commodities would be its own tax and brake on the economy, in the absence of other measures of inflation taking off).
I wonder if a long shallow chest fridge on a shelf is more efficient
His PR department is his personal Twitter account.
I wonder how effective this is. The text suggests that the only thing that they look for is that they look for is a version statement of a major component, and then compare it to known vulnerable components. That could be somewhat helpful, but a lot of vulnerabilities won't be detected by that process. Does anyone know if they do more?
I'd hope that most system-level programs remain dynamically linked to libc. I would be surprised, for example, if Alpine Linux would change their approach.

However, I can see that running code in a Hypervisor environment may benefit from static linking, and yes, unsock may have a hard time intercepting the syscalls.

In that scenario, I think adding kernel-level support for the mapping, like what libkrun's "Transparent Socket Impersonation" patches attempt, may be a viable alternative (see README.md)

I haven't deeply looked into it, but there's also the seccomp/ptrace interception route, which could achieve something like that from userland, but I suspect it's too heavy on performance.
No. Not even semantically correct. If he didn't want to do something and the other party in the negotiation used the legal system to make him do it he was forced by someone else to do it.

Anyway, it's beside the point. Elon OWNS twitter. Do you all understand what ownership means? Like how you own a phone? If he wants to smash his new toy into the ground and break it that's his prerogative. Employees need to stop deluding themselves that any part of a business belongs to them because they were part of the process in creating it. The salary you are paid is the price for control of everything you contribute to a company.

If you hate that idea, much like I do myself, you should start your own business.
Unfortunately not too early to tell. Blue tick and all.

Elon has made no content moderation changes to Twitter yet. This feature has existed for 8 months and is community driven: https://blog.twitter.com/en_us/topics/company/2022/building-....

The worst part of this acquisition is the groan-worthy expansion of Elon worship in public discourse.
AMD is supported natively on linux. Nvidia didn't make an open source version of the drivers because they sell the same chip under different prices, to cover more price segments, and limit the performance for the cheaper versions at the driver level.

Don't make the mistake I did:

When moving such a fridge, you need to leave it powered off for a long time before plugging it back in (and probably before initially moving it, just to be safe).

Otherwise, the cheap compressors they use will foul the coolant lines with oil, ruining the fridge. The purpose of waiting is to allow anything that started to slosh up time to trickle back down. Also, keep the fridge as level as possible while moving it.
Just earlier this week I went back to rss with my selfhosted aggregator based on FreshRSS docker. What made me go back to rss was partially fueled by the twitter situation since I primarily use twitter for updates from news and tech sites. Moreover, I realized that on twitter I get the "list" of news but then I also spend a lot of time browsing the various sites even if there are no new articles and rss would be ideal to get at the same time a list of new articles, go back to read/old ones and expand only what I wanted in the same interface - with some compromises.

FreshRSS looked to be a more up to date solution compared to ttrss that I self hosted in the past with a BIG plus of going beyond what is available in the rss stream, retrieve full articles AND even just parse normal web pages to retrieve articles when rss is not available. For sure I've spent 2-3 hours to setup all these things, but now I have a curated list of rss feeds + parsed normal sites in a page, rarely needing to go outside of that view directly on the relevant sites and accessible from everywhere with proper user/pass support behind a reverse proxy. AND I spend less time just browsing without reason ;)

This is beautiful. As a native Spanish speaker, hearing very different Spanish accents makes me want want to imitate them, and I have to confess, it's part novelty and part mocking.

Spaniards are most fun to imitate, because they have more phonemes than us Latin Americans. The differentiate they Vs and Bs, and their Ss and Zs, but we don't, so we mock ourselves more by mocking them.
Thank you, I'm surprised it's explicitly called out but not too surprised.

That said, I have trouble believing that "why would you agree to a ToS that you don't actually intend to ascribe to 100% of the time" is a question that requires serious consideration.
Depends on how you value the company. Twitter is very overvalued if you look at accounting & finances more than influence and popularity and hype.

Consider revenue and income (losses) and Twitter doesn't look good at all, they look horrible. They don't have that many employees, but they must be very very highly compensated and concentrated in very high cost areas. Otherwise the company is wasting serious money somewhere else, because to lose money on $5B/yr revenue with 7500 employees year after year in a business that's as high margin as pure software is incredibly terrible performance.
I had to look that up.

Here is what happened, the documents gets split into 5000 tweets. Twitter will randomly include one tweet in a feed and someone will respond. For example one person said what npr is calling to overthrow the government because the specific text has a reference to that.

Didn't see any unAmerican comments. Saw comments like tweeting 5000 tweets is a stupid thing to do.

Higher level executives typically have very strong networks built up. Even if they get fired, they're financially already well off and can easily find another role through their networks.
Now that these deepfake interviews are getting posted regularly, they should have something in the title indicating that they are deepfakes / AI-generated. I thought this was an old interview with Richard Feynman that someone had found and posted, which would've been pretty cool, but instead it's just another one of these auto-generated interviews. (It being from podcast.ai was what gave it away since I saw the last one with Steve Jobs and Joe Rogan, but really it should be obvious from the title.)
Cost basis has nothing to do with insolvency. If a company is mismanaged badly enough, it can easily become insolvent even if its investments are doing fine.
The deconstruction has begun. Twitter management is too rightwing to last. Soon the MSM will pick up the story and will suggest the right alternative to twitter that you can use.

Tell us about your corporate acquisition experience and how you bring better insight into this process than Elon. What is your perspective on how Elon did this poorly to the extent that you would declare him an idiot?
Generally speaking you want conditioned cooled air, not just cooled air.

A huge part of an AC system (and, a fridge is basically a small AC unit) is dehumidifying as well. Functionally, you'd now need to add a de-humidification circuit to the system if you used outside air, since you don't have any humidity control.
I guess you have zero understanding on Twitter's business model, which even Elon has some degree of. Advertisers are extremely sensitive on their brand safety and they will simply cut their budget if they see a certain amount of risk on publishers. YT had to implement various brand safety measures after Elsagate to appease advertisers. After Elon took it over, advertisers immediately cut their advertising budgets on Twitter because they see it as an existential threat to the platform. This is a REAL problem, which just you don't appreciate.
> Regardless of your opinion on Elon, it's simply too early to conclude that this is "likely" to happen, or that all those people will stop using it.

Agree. Twitter was a going nowhere dumpster fire before the purchase. It's going to be a bumpy ride, but it could end up better or disappear. Either would be fine with me.

Everyone on this site (and even many non-tech people) had their own ideas on how to fix Twitter. It was a given that it was a mess. Musk had the money and hubris (I don't think he wanted to really buy it), to actually say hold my beer.

Regardless of what you think of Musk, he loves Twitter and now has a lot of financial incentive to make it function better as a business. So we'll see.
> People are allowed to want to divorce without it being referred to as "where he sticks his weiner".

No they're not. Getting a divorce doesn't give you the right to control how other people talk about your divorce.

> I think what grosses me out is that revenge porn was laid thickly on top of this that people just actively ignored.

People care about revenge porn because it hurts vulnerable people (i.e. the vast majority of us.) People don't give a shit about revenge porn about people who aren't vulnerable in any way.
I mean, some pressure would still be there. I don’t think it’s at all comparable to the minimal cashflow and $85MM interest payment due in a month kind of pressure.

By some original definition of the word they are necessarily false. Usage seems to have shifted to ‘small fact’ though
People making many throwaway accounts end up rate-limiting themselves in certain regards. Make a new account and comment with a link as one of your first few messages? Probably going to get auto-killed (someone can vouch for it, I usually do) because it looks like a typical spam message. Similarly, young accounts posting too many submissions end up getting their submissions auto-killed for the same reason (these can also be vouched for, but people are less likely to notice it to do the vouching).

If it's how they want to interact with the site, though, let them. It doesn't hurt anything, just adds more green (and sometimes grey) to the page.

What is the new vision for twitter? Musk has ridiculed his customers, acted unpredictably, and fired people unceremoniously while joking about on Twitter.

To me, all of the reaction seems to be completely appropriate given his actions. This is why actions matter! This is why CEO’s get communications training, because in the absence of reading his mind, the world has to react to his behavior. Being a leader of a 45 billion dollar corporation is hard, this is why most CEO’s that do it don’t have two other part time jobs. Maybe it will turn out ok, but I don’t see how you can not see that his behavior warrants scrutiny and pause, and seemingly attribute it all to vague notions of political beliefs.

One category that yishan doesn't bring up in his content ladder of spam|non-controversial|controversial is copyright infringing content like the latest Disney movie. It fits along with spam as obviously okay to moderate.

It’s called an interlocking directorate[1] and is why a lot of access to power and capital is class based and not meritocratic.

I don't even consider Twitter a social medium. Most people don't tweet, they treat it as an RSS feed with emojis. Only the rich and the famous use it to "socialize publicly". There are no real friendships or social networks, just subscription lists. It's more of a modern-era mass medium, with an agenda and all, and a feedback button.

I dont think twitter changes caused much of uproar in the past, like when they extended the character limit painlessly (unlike facebook). The audience is there mostly for the narrative, not the format.
I understand they also don't get compensated much, relatively speaking. I think it fits with an Asian approach to business where companies are big conglomerates with much more cautious leadership (and therefore less expectation from them). At least historically.
You're pretty clearly not continuing this in good faith. I have no problems calling out your pedantic bullshit.
I really dislike these and similar super blurry image replacements. They look ugly to me. Just use one color until the image loads, that's way simpler and doesn't look worse than these.

I'd argue that taste is a kind of skill (or more generally, knowledge). It can be developed. Doing things requires a multitude of skills. Depending on the task, some skills may be more impactful. There is also some co-development depending on the skill.

Basically, to get better at something, usually you have to branch out and develop periphery skills and knowledge. For example, don't just focus on writing bug-free code fast, but also on software design, and design in general. And team management. And people skills. And read research papers and algorithms. And learn from past failures and case studies, etc.
