I didn't know if eliminating social security was actually a part of the republican platform, though it seemed very unlikely.

I googled and found: https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/09/27/false-cla...
You forgotten to add that "Capitalism" has also killed 100s of millions.
Ya, if you've never programmed in Java, Kotlin or Scala on the JVM before, this is definitely an additional learning that all JVM languages have.

But if you're already familiar with any of those, it'll be the same as what you're used too.
> It was not,

It has been possible for years. I have used it for 4 years myself and I was not the first adopter.

> Shim is by policy

I am not talking about shim, you don't have to use it.

Here's how to do it:

1. You erase the whole key database from UEFI (That possibility was some agreement between antitrust authorities and Intel and/or Microsoft that such possibility must be provided because Wintel was in a a dominating marketing position. On Arm devices it is often not possible, Windows / ARM is not in a dominating position and antitrust was not relevant.)

2. You generate your own key pairs.

3. The public ones you install into the secure boot database of UEFI.

4. You sign your UEFI application with your private key.

I have done that with `systemd-boot` and with the Linux kernel (containing the UEFI stub). Works in both cases. I used the instructions from https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/User:Sakaki/Sakaki%27s_EFI_Inst... 4 years ago and still do it the same way today.
I doubt this post by Nolan is going to age well.

I'm not a fan of Elon Musk and his vaporware vehicles.

I'm not a fan of Twitter, but have been using it more than usual recently.

I am a fan of free speech and associated universal laws whether online or off based on a level discourse playing field.

I feel terrible for all the people suddenly left at the beginning of winter in one of the most expensive places on the planet without a job, and hope they all go on to better and brighter things!
We all need to learn to be a bit more stoic. The ride only gets bumpier from here in the medium term.
Biden's original tweet was not an outright lie. It was even a half-lie.

It was the solid truth.

That's why the fact-check was to "provide context".

This is yet another antitrust issue, regulation should be put in place so that a private company cannot have own a platform with a market share large enough to become "the" public square.
When has anyone ever thought of Jason Calacanis as a savvy operator?
Sounds like excel flash fill might be similar to what you’re interested in. It’s a well documented feature described in papers and talks, it comes from a pretty cool group in MS research.
>This is true but that is the costumers responsibility if they want to insure their cargo or not.

Yes, but this is somewhat missing the forest for the trees. The larger point is that relatively untested tech is going to be more expensive to insure because there is greater uncertainty. This makes it less economically viable until it proves itself to be reliable. Can a commercial company forego that and take on greater risk? Of course, but they aren't likely to because they are more risk-adverse for a variety of reasons. But because the govt is self-insured, the economic risk considerations related to that becomes a moot point. Meaning, the govt is in a unique position to take on risk to help an upstart like SpaceX. Note that 100% of Falcon Heavy contracts are govt (military/NASA).

>Just as Being likely had to eat 600M+ because of their delays.

But this is a different point. They are being penalized for contractual delays. This has the potential to increase risk because it incentivizes rushed development. We saw this with CST-100. The only reason it came to light is because the mission did not go as planned, and as a result NASA started to trigger additional oversight (which slows down development).

This is part of why the CCP can move faster than NASA. They don't have to build to the same requirements as an in-house NASA build. To an extent, all NASA cares about is the ride. That works well as long as things go as planned. As soon as they don't, NASA will start doing engaging more oversight. This has already happened with SpaceX, too. When some unfavorable things came to light, NASA wanted more govt in-person inspections/audits.
As always, predicting the future is difficult.

Elon is taking a big risk here, and I doubt that he truly knows what he is doing.

None of what he is doing with Twitter seems to be rational. The rational thing for him would have been to stay away from Twitter as this is clearly a harmful distraction for his mental health and his other endeavors.

But that does not mean the outcome will be as catastrophic as some are predicting.
Yup, that's the one! I like how the website claims that drivers get better ratings and higher tips. Yeah, well, this one-off anecdata sez the only reason I left a tip and didn't ding the driver on the rating was because I wasn't confident that the driver had a choice in the matter.

And sorry, Lyft, for unfairly disparaging you; too late to edit now. But, not unlike your competitor, you'll soon do something that will make me feel justified in my disparagement. ;-)
Clearly you are not aware how debilitating ADHD can be at times, even with proper and continuous care/treatment.

This is a hereditary neurodevelopmental disorder, not just a feeling anyone can pick up tomorrow and be cured of again in a couple of weeks if they just put in the work and keep smiling.
I have not encouraged, upvoted, or defended this behavior in any way. Nor will I condemn it. I'm just telling you how the real world works.
I disagree. I think that the assumption of incompetence makes sense if you're also assuming that a tech company like twitter is different enough from a tech company (hardware focused) like tesla or space x, that the same operating principles apply.

Intelligence comes in a lot of ways - clearly Elon Musk is incredibly intelligent, but only in some ways and not in every way.

Trying to play devils advocate here, I don't fully believe that Musk will be incompetent in handling Twitter, but I definitely think given the current evidence it's possible his understanding of how to operate Twitter is less comprehensive than how to operate a hardware driven tech company.

A correct diagnosis will help if it leads to adequate treatment. Sadly, not all diagnosis are correct, and not all treatments are equally effective for a given patient. I agree with your assessment that unhelpful group behaviors are fueled by a failure by the health community in addressing these issues. I would also add that we're facing a societal failure which may lead perfectly healthy individuals to "treat" their pains by exaggerating their idiosyncrasies in order to be accepted in a group that they feel is more protected and understood. And the sad part is that this perception that they will be automatically protected and understood by a diagnosis is largely false, and you're right: a diagnosis can make many things worse. I would trade all "protection and understanding" I got from my diagnosis for the ability to wake up every day and be able to function without pumping meds into my brain.
I hate this meme where Musk is somehow free speech advocate. He does not have history of tolerating criticism or opposition speech. I mean, not at all and he retaliated quickly and strongly. No way he could possibly create free speech platform
Ok, you don't trust big businesses, you don't trust small businesses and mom and pop type small town stuff. I think that's everyone. You don't trust anyone.

In this case, I can assure you my parents were on the up and up. You don't run a small business in the same place in a community for 35 years by cheating and being dishonest or selling knockoff goods. Unfortunately my father got to the point where he couldn't work anymore during the pandemic and we had to shutter our beloved family business of almost 40 years. Thanks for randomly throwing shade on my families business, our heritage, with no basis or motive at all.
Layoffs that improve economic productivity should be celebrated. The executives who do them should be congratulated. They are creating economic surplus by freeing up labor to add value elsewhere in the economy where it's needed more. So few people understand how much human prosperity would be stunted if people weren't allowed to be terminated when they were no longer productively adding value in a position.

I still cannot believe MDN decided to abandon web standards for the garbage that is Markdown. Worse yet, they seem proud of themselves for doing it.

Rather than actually solve the problem of filtering WYSIWYG input/output, providing a solution for creating easy to create and maintain semantic HTML, Mozilla shunted it aside and now use a stack of custom tooling and libraries and yet another Markdown-alike variant text format with their own scripting embeds and then patted themselves on the backs for all the effort they "saved".

Mozilla is supposed to be the standard bearer for web standards. It's sad to see that bunch of myopic techies decided to go with a trendy solution that just trashed a core principle of the organization (#6) for one of its most important products. It set an example others are now following, and as a result, MDN put the web back probably two decades.
Management: Ned didn't print enough code from the last 60 days. There weren't enough pages of paper. Firing Ned.

No, not really. You'd use a strain that can't synthesize a certain molecule and then have that molecule inside that capsule. If it gets out, it can't reproduce any more. Those bacteria also can't compete in a natural environment because they evolved in a lab and were engineered to do something detrimental to the usual "microbial fitness".

The only risk worth discussing is that they could pass on antibacterial resistance genes to other bacteria. Even that is not really that much of a risk, because the resistance genes used in such studies are usually already quite widespread.
I think this is nothing except shitposting. The whole blog reads like an angry rant of someone who didn't get what he wanted. This is not new. Layoffs are not a new thing. New management, new rules, it's always been like this.

Do I feel sorry for the people who got layed off? Of course I do! I wouldn't want to be them right now. I feel for them. But the consequences mentioned in this post is completely unreasonable. These are the kinds of points you hear from a depressed person who thinks the world is going to end because all the toilet rolls are suddenly out of stock.

The amount of doomsaying I see everywhere regarding the Musk takeover is baffling. I am no Musk fanboy but this is completely irrational. The fact of the matter is, people don't like change. That's all there is to it. Change automatically makes people cry out.

Here's a scenario for you:

What if the new Twitter is better? What if it isn't the toxic place you expect it to become? What if you are completely wrong? Have you considered that? Here's how I see this situation:

Musk is not an idiot. He must know exactly what he needs to do. This isn't his first rodeo and comments like "running a service of this scale and size is incredibly complex with downtime and uptime and blah blah" is incredibly naive. Musk runs at least 2 companies that require a huge network & availability guarantees. He knows what's needed there.

Twitter is going no where and if you think it'll go down in the coming years, you have a surprise coming your way. I am optimistic because of Musk isn't known to give up. This can fail for sure but I don't think that'll be the end of it.

The next step in my opinion is cutting down on the Twitter codebase. Trimming features. Shutting down unnecessary stuff. They laid off 25% of the workforce so at least 25% of Twitter will be affected. Let's see which parts though. There's a lot of unnecessary junk in there (communities, spaces etc.) that I'll be happy to say goodbye to.
I'm not sure which Green took credit for something they didn't do but I'm looking forward to the days of anything but first-past-the-post so parties can be held accountable.

I don’t think it’s unfair to call out the first sentence of the argument, if you’re trying to persuade with several paragraphs of content and the very first sentence has a gross error, it transcends pedantry in my opinion.

Rather, I think it makes the original argument look irrational if they have an extreme exaggeration if they have to use that to make their point.

No one is forcing you to run any "unauthorised" code. What you suggest is that, because you don't want to side load stuff, no one should be allowed to? Doesn't make much sense to me, to be honest.

Canada does both adjustable-rate and fixed-rate mortgages. Just that we tend to do it for shorter periods. Typically 5 or 10 years.

I have two fixed-rate mortgages with really low rates. They won't come up for renewal until 4 years from now. Then I'll have to choose whether to do another 5 years with the current rate, or convert over to an adjustable rate.

It's not about preservation necessarily - I mean these institutions used to be all white Christian male and we obviously dont want that. But yes, the capping is of value, and in fact even a hedge against the ranking slipping. I guess even people like OP would balk at sending their kids to the #1 school if it had 90% Asians, and then that school wont remain #1 for long. The diversity is of value in other ways - experiences outside of your comfort zone and ones that dont come with a quantifiable meric are wonderful things about a college education.
I want to see examples of ballots that changed votes during recounts. I'm curious about what went wrong with the initial scan (I have ideas, of course) but seeing the actual problems would be nice.
That's true, but the other way is also true, nobody would adopt Clojure at a professional shop if it wasn't for an existing Java shop where some devs thought they'd rather use Clojure and started adding Clojure progressively to their existing stack.
This is certainly bad, but if it will lead to a crisis like 2008 in the USA, depends on a number of factors. First, there was a lot of leverage and fraud in the US case. Then, there was lack of financial support for families that had no option other than default on their mortgages. The US government didn't anticipate the issues caused by ARMs and only dealt with the problem when it was already clear the total collapse of the mortgage industry.
> It should not be illegal for individuals to preserve culture…

My understanding is that the illegal bit wasn't the preservation, but the re-distribution (of copyrighted material without a license or permission) and monetization.
A good-faith reading of a statement like "voters are morons" almost always takes it as an approximation, sufficient to describe the bulk behavior, not an absolute universal quantifier.
Well, inductive reasoning. But yes, that.
> And this is the social agreement that Musk is destroying through his game of chicken with Twitter. He doesn't get a pass because "it goes both ways"

It is a choice that is going to cost his company money. Talented potential employees are going to be well aware of the potential to be fired without a second thought(or severance) on the whim of Elon from now on. Twitter will have to increase compensation or settle for less talented individuals to balance that potential. That is where he does not "get a pass".

I agree of course from a human social standpoint that it would be moral and appropriate to give as much notice and severance as possible. However, there are many factors that come into play when making decisions of this nature. I do not know the full compensation package of the employees(were they already overcompensated?) or the total financial status of the company. The company could in theory be on the brink of failure. If Elon gave the fired employees a sweet parting deal and the company subsequently goes broke, leading to even more layoffs that would be terrible for the remaining employees. Furthermore, what of the employees that have to be fired or never hired in order to compensate the employees that are already leaving? I wonder how the vote would go from the employees if a company proposed the following:

"Would you rather we fire without severance pay 100 employees tomorrow or fire 150 with severance pay next month?" That's essentially the question that happens in management when a layoff is happening. Sadly many people fail to see that 50 jobs were saved in the first scenario when they read headlines about layoffs.

Either way we think, the complexities of human interactions in the markets and business is fascinating!
I mean, we don't need to pay them that much. These obscene salaries weren't the norm a few decades ago. They're the end result of Reaganite tax policies failing to tax super-high-earners progressively.
You’ve got me there.
Fair enough. FTR I think you’re trying to dunk on SF using factually incorrect claims about what actually happened at local schools during the course of 2020 and into 2021.
This is correct, and also wages are rising faster than inflation. Very very few households with mortgages are actually at risk of defaulting (so low the number is essentially zero), and both banks and households can sustain higher interest rates than we're seeing.

> the kernel has (always) offered various schedulers but you have to pick one

Umm, mainline kernel has had only CFS scheduler available for the past 15 years. Sure, there are some out of tree options available, but with those comes the common problems of using out of tree patchsets.
You are correct. There is no difference between oppressing people, and fighting against oppression. Nazis are the same as anti-Nazis, racists are the same as anti-racists. Remember when India rebelled and cast out the British? Literally no difference between the two sides. Racist police versus civil rights marchers in the 1960s? Hey, both sides were mad. Totally the same.
