I'm confused how this was a right wing talking point? In this case it is an actual fact. Are you suggesting we ignore facts if they make the left look bad?

I also want to point out the white house straight up lied and said biden was responsible when he was not (hence the deletion) and you are upset this lie was called out?

Also just an fyi the feature is not something musk added. It was being worked on long before he took over.

I want SpaceX to continue to help Ukraine (and I loathed Elon's public crying about it), but I think it's a bit much to ask a private company to just eat the costs and not complain, especially when I don't think SpaceX has a lot of cash on hand. Hopefully there is a remedy, and this can quickly be resolved. $400M just today was added to aid to Ukraine, you'd think SpaceX and NATO/DoD could strike a deal, especially if these have been valuable battlefield tools.
I'm objecting to the parent post starting with 2021 as the year to note that the whitehouse account was posting stupid things. That implies that it was not being stupid prior to 2021, when in contrast the most historically asinine tweets in existence (at least from people in places of high authority) occurred in the 2015-2020 range.

Tweets in general are not good. Most are pointless, many are stupid, some are evil, and sadly only a few are worth existing. So I'm not suggesting that current White House tweets are good. They are just not remarkable in comparison to the tweets from the previous period.
Well, but a spoon cannot stab/hold a steak while I cut it, so forks still have their merit.
> You remarked, hyperbolically I'd say, that he speed ran the destruction of a $40 billion-whatever acquisition in mere weeks. That may turn out to be true. But it hasn't happened yet. I think that's because the prognostication around this acquisition has been inflamed by culture war biases.

You have already agreed with me on this in a different comment. The pre Musk version of Twitter no longer exist, it has been destroyed. Musk has destroyed it. Whether or not the brand name of Twitter continues to exist or be popular is yet to be determined but Twitter as we knew it is dead.

The Atari brand name and intellectual property continues to exist but that pioneering video game company hasn't existed for decades
If Twitter never changed the product again, you might be right that they could keep the ship afloat with a skeleton crew. But it doesn’t sound like that’s Musk’s plan. He wants pretty substantial feature changes, which normally means less service stability.
SimpleLogin does exactly this, the person emails foobar@domain.com, you receive that email from random-code-123@simplelogin.com, and when you reply to that out of your WirelessGigabit@domain.com inbox, SimpleLogin will send the reply back out from foobar@domain.com.

Plus it’s from the ProtonMail gang so it’s reasonably secure and private.
I feel like to compare linked lists and dequeues, you would have to give a specific implementation of a dequeue
Hetzner looks good.
The weight of the web
Care to demonstrate why? I have the same experience
As just one example, not intended to be partisan: the elderly husband of the Speaker of the House was violently attacked and a sizable portion of the country either tacitly or openly endorses it. That is not a safe society. And it's very, very well-documented by now that social media in which violent / hate speech are not moderated are a key factor driving the increase in political violence and extremism. For people in positions of great power to ignore the complexity of what's happening to society, and to lean on populist (and reductive/misleading) arguments about censorship and freedom of speech for personal gain, comes across as either unintelligent or profoundly irresponsible.
Web3 is just "web with a sprinkle of crypto and blockchains." The problem space is narrow, and different than what DNS and HTTPS tries to solve. But its not useless, and probably will continue to grow as part of the web.
Yes, and also its compiler could check for common mistakes and nonsense, and even produce binaries!
Theres a lot to mine here, but I'm really not going to be the one who gets in a tiff with you about this.

I think you need to step away from the keyboard, dude.
yes, he does linked lists are, except in a few specific cases, the wrong solution
> You don’t have to assume any shape for this, as long as the shape remains the same, and that it is not fractal. You could have a spherical fridge and it would still be true.

Why assume that the old fridge will be geometrically proportional to the new fridge? I think that's particularly unlikely to be true in the case of a person replacing their existing refrigerator.
It's Hadley Wickham of R's tidyverse though, so I'm more inclined to believe the claim.
When? He bragged in July when the MoM rate was zero and the YoY rate fell by half a percent. I can't find him bragging anywhere that the rate is holding steady though.
Recession and layoffs are slightly different. I view the more proximate cause of layoffs etc is the increase in the cost of capital and more of a feeling that there might be a slowdown. Company execs, boards and investors had a different denominator in their projections about present value of cash flows in Q4 of last year (this is always an approx calc in practice, but the mechanics / views follow the equations) and now investments that might have made sense may not. People are calculating the risks of recession differently. All of this is idiosyncratic to each company. Some companies may be operating in a domain where it makes sense to invest or for larger companies based on their estimations, and in large companies you may have some bets that make sense to expand and others that should shrink.
That’s not a right wing talking point though is it? The increase was solely due to high inflation. The administration has no decision in the matter.
Also people who don’t seem to understand how the product, their life and the universe in general work. The “can’t make coffee from cat litter, blames Obama in all seriousness, two typos per word” kind. I always wonder how these people look in real life and if I meet some of them on the street.
How do you detect a cycle with linked lists? :) I actually have a side project where I've run into this - it's a distributed directed graph structure where the nodes can send messages to each other. It's intended to be acyclic, but "walking the graph" is really only used to send truth values, which are combined with others to run Boolean logic. So in that case, the occasional cycle doesn't matter, because if the calculated boolean value matches that of the node's internal state, it just can cease propagating. So a structural loop won't turn into an infinite processing loop.

The problem then becomes that I can't introduce NOT gates anywhere in a cycle, because then the bit will continue flipping and I'll get an infinite processing loop.

So it seems my only hope is external processes that continually walk the graph and keep track of where it visited to try and detect loops, and I don't like how that scales...
The growth of employees between 2020 and 2022 was insane. There is no way you add 50% more employees over that period and have any sort efficiency.

Can we agree to the following:

Terrorism is the act of instilling terror.

Terror as defined in the dictionary: "violence or the threat of violence used as a weapon of intimidation or coercion; especially violent or destructive acts (such as bombing) committed by groups in order to intimidate a population or government into granting their demands"

Otherwise if you make up your own definition and not stick to dictionary definitions then we are talking past each other.

So assuming you agree to the dictionary definition - do you really believe that people are in a state of TERROR when they hear about climate activists protests? They fear people who block roads or glue their hands to walls or paintings?

And in terms of the articles you shared - nowhere did it say that the protestors were responsible for the accident that caused the life threatening injuries to the cyclist. The protests happened miles away from the accident. According to the article - they are still determining whether the road block did delay the medical help or whether the cyclist was already brain dead at the time of the accident.

Just for the record - road blocks on motorways are wrong in my view. But it's a far stretch to call people who block roads - terrorists.

Otherwise you should also call the Truckers in Canada terrorists who blocked roads this year. Or would you call any other people who block roads for whatever reasons - terrorists?

And you've not provided further clarification regarding climate activists destroying human heritage. Do you have any links to media or police reports where human heritage items have been destroyed - as in "To break apart the structure of, render physically unusable, or cause to cease to exist as a distinguishable physical entity"
A list can have different memory representations with identical semantics.

Because it seems my usage of bubble is not universal, just as clarification, I see every group as a bubble, there are smaller and bigger bubbles. I did not mean to imply that worshipping Elon is some kind of rarity.
Thanks for sharing a nuanced take and some first person experience.
I kind of wish Amazon would have three up/neutral/down vote options... product, seller, amazon platform... so that they can distinguish between customer service experience and the product itself. Then aggregate the scoring into an overall review experience.

Leaving descriptive reviews ranked by positive/negative on the product itself. An leaning heavier on "insightful" feedback to shape rankings a bit.
It would be nice to have a sane conversation. That however is impossible when one side has decided that the other side should be muzzled, viz. every post even remotely critical of democrats getting flagged here, or until recently getting you banned off twitter.
...from another account.
What? In what case has this ever happened?
Personally whenever someone uses the term "Big Tech", I see if it is originating from "Big Media" and most of the times it does. These articles are nothing but potshots taken as part of the culture/turf war between tech and media companies, whenever either one sees an opportune time. Mixing some elements of truth with lot of propaganda.
Are they really using stronger parts? I haven't seen what is beefed up in any brochures, articles or press releases.

They mention a 3.5 inch lift, and some 30 inch tires. That's all I can find. Can't find a single other thing that makes this "off road" worthy other than a bunch of useless black cladding.

This is probably as beefed up as an AWD Rav4 is vs a FWD Rav4.
Sure. But the simplicity of adding a wildcard makes it very easy for sysadmins to make a too simplistic configuration, which in turn ends up being a security vulnerability, maybe even if the code in sudo itself contains no faults.

To me this sounds like a feature for a non-default "root-manager", while the default should be kept simpler to avoid people falling into such traps.
What is the operational cost of a satellite? It's all upfront cost, there is no operational cost other than running uplink stations/bandwidth on the ground. Is there really significant opportunity cost for Spacex here? I fucking doubt it, the starlink satellites serve relatively small geographic areas. I very much doubt that satellites over the Donbass are in a position where they are not making money because all the traffic that would otherwise be paid for by a bunch of people is being clobbered by priority UA mil packets. I also can't imagine that the entire UA military is particularly significant on the backbone end of things when you have large metros etc mixed in, it just doesn't line up for me.
> “Residential" could imply that you don't want a giant sand silo in the middle of some housing units, so I agree there. You would need to put this somewhere that size doesn't matter much.

Can’t you build that silo underground? If so, size wouldn’t matter much. You could have a playground, communal garden or, if you must, parking spaces on top of it, so it wouldn’t really use any area.

Why is asking for permission first bad? The CISA does this very thing, but businesses have to explicitly ask first and consent unlike the UK. That's the difference between a nanny state policy and one that respects choice and the property rights of others.
My reaction when I saw that tweet was “is the White House seriously blaming our record inflation on Biden’s leadership?”
This seems like staging the conversation to eliminate Social Security which conservatives are putting up next to bat.

> In 1878, Japan produced the world's first disposable chopsticks, and today China and Japan use the majority of them. China is responsible for using 45 billion disposable chopsticks a year. Japan is about half of that at 24 billion.

I've used plastic, lacquered wood, and stainless steel multi-use chopsticks. Each of them has problems. At home I use titanium chopsticks and they are phenomenal, but bamboo are just as good if not better.
Do we know that the company did it? Or did the tweeter do it after it was suggested to them by someone knowledgeable that posting internal company communications might violate the NDAs and corporate policies on company owned communication platforms? And why are only some of the tweets being removed?

Always a lot of assumptions in the comments of every Twitter story I have read over the last week or so… and so far most of the assumptions tend to be pretty wrong when the dust settles.
I don’t use it. I’ve tried, and it’s a large, bloated, unstable program in Docker and when installing natively there’s more dependencies than there is actual backup software. It would quadruple the size of my install on RasPi.

Right, the interest in having auditable and secure elections is not simply a right/left issue and does not mean one's an "election denier" or an "insurrectionist". It just stands to reason that basic controls for governance should be a key attribute of how elections are run, and no, the feds shouldn't be paying for this, imo.

In my home state, a Republican candidate (albeit disowned) was indicted for ballot harvesting, particularly for hiring a consultant from CA to run around through a particular east Asian community collecting ballots. If a system works, every politician will exploit it.

* ID's should be required (like they are for everything else, including travel, bank accounts, bars, etc);

* voter rolls should be scrubbed;

* election results should be auditable;
Another cool property about linked lists is that you can add an element to the head of a list without mutating the previous list. There are not many data structure that you can add an element to and leave the previous version unchanged. This form of immutability is a very nice feature that Lisp / functional programmers enjoy. Because of this, you can concurrently add an element to the head of a list to create new lists without having a critical section in your code.
Yes! Actually we kind of have a soft rule that in the first few weeks we always make sure you get your session, even if it means rescheduling last minute. This isn't of course the best scenario for our coaches who are waiting on the other end, but we're happy to invest in this to make sure our members get off on the right foot (the onboarding call is very important and must happen to start the coaching relationship).

However, after the first few weeks, we try our best to uphold the policy because the nature of our coaching service (and we want to keep the integrity) is that the member is best fit to meet their specific assigned coach to continue the relationship (trust, openness, safe space, etc.). In practice though, as long as our coaches have time, most of them will offer a rescheduling of some sort. We do want to set good examples and boundaries and have members practice this wherever possible, while of course being sensitive to ADHD accomodations.

For anyone else that didn't read the first paragraph of the article, here it is:

> The White House deleted a Twitter post on Wednesday touting an increase in Social Security benefits for seniors after the social media platform added a “context” note pointing out that the increase was tied to a 1972 law requiring automatic increases based on cost of living changes.

Emphasis is mine; added for "context". :)
Author here, you're correct, the title is misleading and assumes a match between surrogate and primary keys in a simplistic way, especially for when you can't make use of a natural key. (most of the cases in the domain I work in)

If you can't identify a natural key that indicates failure to normalize or even the wrong model of the data.

I'm not sure about this point. As a matter of fact a lot of entities in the real world do not have a natural key, or if they have it, it could be subject to changes. How do you identify a user or an anonymous post on a forum?

Maybe for an user you could just use the email. Then, what if the user want to change their email?
Or what if one day you want to allow users to sign-up with just their social login?

Surrogate keys are always a good level of indirection to keep a consistent identity, and especially useful as foreign key and hence also as a primary key. Of course with some exceptions (eg. intermediate tables, where the PK is spanning across multiple columns)

But I'm curious to know also other scenarios since my view is skewed by the business domain I work in.
I feel like management that can roughly estimated difficulty of a task, or at the very least distinguish possible from impossible is an asset.
> The energy consumption of a fridge depends on what it takes to cool the entire contents within a fridge, because heat from center of the food will travel to the surface when the surface cools down.

This assumes that the dominant energy expenditure of the fridge is bringing new food down to fridge temperature.

But almost all of the contents of a fridge have been in there for a while and are already at fridge temperature. Most of what the fridge is doing is maintaining the internal temperature against the outside environmental temperature.
Libel and defamation are two very specific legal things, none of which could remotely be argued constitute removing a gif or video.

Why are you using reddit still? I stop using it once it was clear they would cave to cry babies. I don't really care if a specific sub is heavy handed and deleted stuff I thought should stay, that didn't bother me (let each sub moderate how they want, fine). What bothered me is when they banned /r/nonewnormal. If you don't like a sub, then don't go to it. Unless the sub is doing clearly illegal things, then the sub should stay.
> Executing a smart contract costs thousands of times more than executing a normal piece of software.

No, not necessarily. For one let's qualify that statement. Smart contracts on Ethereum are executed 100,000+ times by every node on the network, which is providing security and uptime for the network.

Some software transactions have external costs associated with them, such as financial transactions. Doing an international bank transfer may simply boil down to a credit in one SQL database and a debit in another SQL database but it still can cost dozens to thousands of dollars depending on the amount, and the situation. Even a VISA credit card transaction costs 1.5-3%. You as a consumer don't see that cost, the retailer is eating it though, and marking up their products and services to accommodate that fee.

But ETH transaction fees do not scale with the value of the transaction, it simply scales with the demand for the limited block space.

Ethereum community has been actively developing solutions for this problem, by developing optimistic rollups and zero knowledge rollups, which are effectively able to compress transactions and scale the network throughout by 100-1000x. Innovations like this will get Ethereum to Visa scale plus.

This technology is still early, but rapidly improving. Currently deployed rollups are in the 10-100x scale improvement range.

Some rollups currently in production:

I have a love/hate relationship with mail-in voting.

It's super convenient. You don't have to be at the polling place at a certain time in bad weather. Just fill out the form in the comfort of your home and drop it in the mailbox.

I hate it though because it really does make fraud and mismanagement easier:

- People are sent ballots for people who no longer live in the house, or are dead

- The post office fails to actually send you your ballot, as in this case: https://www.wmar2news.com/matterformallory/mail-in-ballots-f...

- This article details several more ways to commit fraud via mail-in voting/absentee ballots - and cites fraud cases from both Republicans and Democrats: https://insidesources.com/mail-in-ballots-make-voter-fraud-e...

I'd go farther with this thought experiment. As long as the reviews are done by consumers that are not trained or practiced at the art of reviewing, you will expect a lot of "worked for me" and "I paid enough that I am compelled to like this" style reviews. It is literally the idea behind luxury pricing.

Turns out, objective reviewing of items is difficult. And will almost certainly lead to a gaming of the reviews if the companies are able to do so.
