In conventional markets, market makers need the ability to sell that which they make a market in. This can be done by actually owning the asset, by having a credit relationship enabling sales without owning the asset, by naked shorting, etc.

If you can’t naked short, and if sales settle effectively immediately (cryptocurrency confirmation may well be slow, but you can’t usefully sell something and buy it back using the sale proceeds without confirming or at least generating and signing the transactions), then you need access to the actual token so you can sell it.

In contrast, one can make a market in EUR/USD without actually sitting on a big pile of EUR and USD. In fact, market makers are likely to target an average position of zero in every currency except their home currency unless they are also trying to make some sort of long term bet. Similarly, I doubt you’ll find that most market makers in, say, grain futures have warehouses full of grain. (Grain wants to be eaten, not hoarded for the life of a business. Also, making commodity markets is an entirely different business than growing, storing, transporting, and using commodities.)

(This is not trading or market advice, obviously.)

I tested co-pilot initially with Hello World in different languages. In Lisp, it gave me verbatim code from a particular tutorial, which was made obvious because their code had "Hello <tutorialname>" where <tutorialname> was the name of a YouTube tutorial, instead of the word "World." It was surely slurped into the model via someone who had done the tutorial and uploaded their efforts to Github. Mind you, it's pretty much the way everyone would code it, but the inclusion of <tutorialname> is definitely an issue.

So it isn't too hard to prove the case.

I agree that value is subjective, but value is still created by labor.

Sit and stare at a rock and you have created no new value.

Labor can also destroy value, for example when a building is destroyed in a riot, or when a rock is pushed up a hill to a location that makes it less valuable.

Many of the child posts assume that Twitter deleted these tweets. That isn't clear to me. It's possible the original authors did (happy to see proof either way).

When one is laid off, there are often clauses in the severance agreement that forbid disparaging the company or leaking secrets, or similar things.

If I wanted that severance check and someone pointed out to me that the tweet may be in violation of the severance agreement, I would delete it too.

Instead of phrasing it that way, think of it has companies being required to give you 60 days notice, just like they want you to give them two weeks notice. Every time I've ever been at a company doing layoffs, they paid salaries (and benefits) for at least 60 days after the announcement, precisely because of laws like this.

For a long time reStructuredText was "the Python thing", the way POD is "the Perl thing", where it's the "only" choice in that ecosystem, but you didn't really see it outside of that ecosystem. But nowadays (thanks to Sphinx?) reStructuredText is also used for big systems-y projects, including the Linux kernel docs and Envoy proxy.

To clarify, I wouldn't deny that the bar is lowering (as you said, it shows). The narrative scapegoating of the media invariably implies that the media is detached from the public and is following its own agenda on this matter. There's lots of ways that the "media elite" are detached from the public and consequently are disconnected from the marketplace; this is NOT one of them.

The unacknowledged truth behind "Actual news outlets covering actual news have an enormous incentive to cut corners on this stuff", and "that all sells better than Lehrer’s guidelines do" is that it's consumers of media who are firmly driving this trend. If the audience valued Lehrer's guidelines more, there'd not be an enormous incentive to cut corners. If anything, the folks who work in media overvalue Lehrer's guidelines as compared to the market. It's not them who is doing it.
Like with GAT, I think one of the major reasons to support this feature is because it feels consistent. "I can put generics here, but not there? I can break here but not there?". I've run into "accidentally" writing the equivalent of GAT before just because I had expected it to work.

Privacy is a self-evident and basic human right, like freedom of expression. The principle of this is already acknowledged in law. For example, reading snail mail is very illegal, and nobody questions what harm would come from someone reading Grandmas "merry christmas" letter to you. It is only on the internet that violations of this right are turned a blind eye to, because of regulatory capture and government inertia. Regulators are slowly catching up (see GDPR) but in the meanwhile users are forced to take matters into their own hands.

The data being collected is valuable, evidenced by the fact that an entire industry exists for it. It is collected without the users' consent (beyond the sham of "by using this website you agree to our terms" - by the way, legally speaking individuals cannot agree to give up their rights). The users are not compensated for the valuable information that is harvested from them.

Lastly, many online service providers are cavalier with the security of this data. It is freely shared with hostile state actors (not necessarily western ones), predatory commercial third parties (spammers), and actual criminals. Due to lax security, criminals often gain access to this data and use it for identity theft, phishing and other fraud. People compile it in "social media background check" databases which exposes individuals, without their consent, to stalkers.

There's not enough space in a comment to go over every single instance of privacy violations leading to serious consequences for users, such as those you claim do not exist, so to anyone interested I would recommend doing a web search on privacy related topics.
GUI-based. Cool. But unlike xv6, I guess skimming the code wouldn't be that easy/straightfoward.

It's projection.

I wish I had learned earlier that when somebody makes an accusatory statement, it is wise to consider that they may be inadvertently projecting their self and their intentions onto the people around them.

It is very human to believe that most people think and feel in more or less the same way. So when we hear generalized statements about what people are like, or how they would likely react to a course of action, the sentiment will often be biased by how the speaker thinks, or would react.
I'm quite certain they're aware of the law. I also know Musk has violated it before.

You seem to be implying that's irrational behavior, and therefore won't happen.

I agree that it is irrational.
I would love to see an eminent domain to take the water back from a corporate interest, in the public interest. Dealing with feckless politicians has consequences for the public. Corporate interests can share in that.

This is an ignorant question: to what extent is it relevant that a hardware company like Apple effectively employs/contracts services of e.g. Foxconn to the tune of probably a million employees?

I think the issue will be that not all pincers (and other similar kitchen utensils) are not all made the same. Some are much harder to squeeze than others. Some don't open as wide, so I may not be able to get it around a large chunk of sushi. With chopsticks I have neither of these problems (although chopsticks do vary in other ways).
It's actually good to not support such things, because it makes it way too easy to give more permissions than you intent to. In your example it effectively gives unlimited root access, as you can do `systemctl edit unit-name` and change the unit to run arbitrary programs as root.

In a domestic setting, I'd argue a spoon is quite a bit more versatile especially in the context of scooping liquids. Anything you can poke and lift with a fork you can probably scoop and lift with a spoon instead.

A fork is arguably most useful in conjunction with a knife because it's generally easier to hold foods for cutting with a fork than with a spoon.
Ah, I wasn't aware of that. So they said that people could be remote forever? Was this a company-wide policy, or just certain teams?

Instead of designing an entirely new disposable wood form, I wonder if you could just make an attachment like "Chopstick Helpers"[1] that worked with existing disposable chopsticks but had action more akin to pincers.

That being said, I'm definitely still in the "might as well just use chopsticks then" camp

Baker and friends pulling out the money and Mozilla employees turning the NGO into just another bargaining chip in the US culture war seems more like a symptom of the rot that set in years earlier. Since the late 2010s there seems to be a distinctive lack of vision at Mozilla.

Building a browser engine from scratch is akin to building an operating system. Maybe the new Firefox will be 95% effective vs. an only 92% effective Chrome but I don't see how this effort advances the state of the web in terms of freedom and user choice meaningfully. Like others here I switched to Brave a few years ago. I think their strategy of building interesting things on top of Chrome is smarter. Imagine if Brave where the prevalent browser and I could send anybody an .onion or ipfs:// link at it would Just Work (TM). Same with their BAT token. Instead of restlessly shitting on the idea, let's imagine it does work and we have an alternative to ads for monetising content. I find this way more exciting than parallel rendering and Rust.

For a Phoenix and later Firebird user like me it's sad to see what happened to Mozilla, but the only constant is change.

Edit: grammar
It'll be interesting to see if any of them are bold enough to argue that their ability to exert influence over the public via their role at twitter was a material part of their compensation.
As the recent announcements showed, they're including at least eight weeks of pay, so that complies with the CA-WARN law in question.

I don't believe this is always true. For instance, whistleblower cases, or NDAs that can be broken by supeona.

Considering there is already some legal questions being raised about the firings - and I'm not arguing in favor of the merits of those cases - there is some possible scenario where an internal leak may be justified.
> If you think exercise or some good habits significantly changes ADHD you don't know what ADHD is, sorry.

I think this is uncalled for, especially when in your very next sentence you clarify that you’re speaking about your own experience. Everyone’s can be different.
I'm an adult with ADHD but this doesn't appeal to me because I've already found behavioral techniques that work really well for ~free.

I'll try and describe one briefly: I use a free app called Virtual Motivaider[1] to make my phone vibrate every 2 to 6 minutes. I'll print a sheet[2] that has a table with two columns. Every row is the same: the first column has the text "Am I on Task?" and the second column has two check boxes, "[ ] Yes [ ] No". When I start a task that I typically struggle to hold my attention to, I start the app, and when I feel the vibration, I check off if I was on task or not. I picked the 2 to 6 minutes interval arbitrarily; there could be many other intervals that work just as well. There's also probably other apps out there that just vibrate at a user-set interval.

This has worked extremely well for me. It seems that just recording a behavior can increase it or decrease it in the direction that you want.

I learned about this from a textbook called "Applied Behavior Analysis" by Cooper et al, in a chapter titled "Self-Management". If my technique (technically known as "self-monitoring of attention" or "self-monitoring of on task behavior") sounds interesting, I would recommend finding a pdf of that book and reading that chapter. It has some vocabulary that's defined earlier in the book, so you can just look them up in the index or glossary as you read. The book and the field it hails from can be annoyingly dogmatic, though.

I'll stop talking about it for now, but I do like to share this whenever adult ADHD comes up because its helped me dramatically, and much more so than any professionally-run special education program I was in or popular psychology book about habits or getting things done. OP, I haven't looked at your app or page too deeply so maybe you're already doing something like this or other behavioral techniques, but if you're not, it might be worth checking out.

[1] The company that made Virtual Motivaider also sells (well, they stopped producing them because of COVID difficulties, but they're currently trying to get them back) a physical product called Motivaider. It looks like a digital kitchen timer but it just does the same thing as the app. I bought one after using the app for some time, and while the app worked very well, the physical product has some nice benefits, like a very distinct and quiet vibration, and a lot less friction to start a new session.

[2] Printing out new sheets for each task, or printing out a lot and then having to get one for each task, turned out to be pretty inconvenient, so I've since compressed the table into a 2 row by 15 column one, where in the first column the first row has a "Y" and the second one has an "N". The rest of the columns are for putting an x in the Y or N row. I fit 6 of these in a 6 x 9 inch document, made a pdf of 100 of these pages, then used a print on demand service to print a spiral bound book of it, which I carry with me between work and home. This has eliminated a ton of friction and I've ended up using this technique much more often.
> $10B of additional debt

$13 Billion actually.

> and now is facing annual $1B interest payments

Estimated to be 10% APY given where CCC Debt was in April. But the details are sketchy and I haven't been able to get a better estimate than that. I've heard rumors of 50% fixed + 50% adjustable, meaning some of that debt can be as high as 16% right now (today, CCC Debt is going for 16% APY).

So we're looking at $1.3 Billion to $2 Billion in interest payments alone (let alone principal) by my estimate. I've been curious if anyone out there has been able to get a better estimate on Twitter's LBO debt.

--------

In short, this buyout turned Twitter from a $200-million lost-per-year company into a $1500-million to $2200-million lost-per-year company (pending anyone's better estimate).
Some of the problems are real, the article mentions that sometimes having conflicting portfolios of products can be a real problem. Before the HPE split, for example, hp was forced to use HPE cloud, which was garbage, over AWS. Conversely, HPE customers were asked to use hp HW instead of buying whatever commodity stuff was the best deal.

I owned 2 Samsungs and that wasn’t possible on any of them. Either it wasn’t “from the start”, or it wasn’t on all models, or it involved rooting the phone first, which voids the warranty, at which point I wouldn’t count that as “allowed”.
I was lucky enough to work in both types of places. Ones where the manager was hovering over me and literally micromanaging my every interaction. It was beyond maddening. But I also worked in places like now, where my output matters, but I have a lot of autonomy on how I get there.

Oddly, my most recent volunteer gig was very.. structured. It may not help that it is sponsored by corporate so maybe they started demanding a lot of data.
