UBI is orthogonal to socialism. It could exist under socialism, but you could also just take the existing state of the USA, widely considered capitalist, and modify it by setting the Social Security benefits age to 0. I've actually seen socialists against the UBI often enough; it implies the existence of money and markets

Getting hired at Twitter wasn't exactly easy, they filtered for the best in the valley and paid employees significant premiums compared to most other employers. Definitely FAANG-level compensation.

I'd be open to hiring them, but not going to pay $500k for a Senior SWE in this market.

I've read enough people say that these apps are "soul crushing" and people explain that sadly this characteristic is baked into the algorithms in order to a)make the apps/games addictive and b) keep people engaged, c)make people, especially men, think that there's hope - but only if they sign up for a subscription.
There Is No Algorithm for Truth: Tom Scott Royal Institution (2019) [video]
It's entirely valid to be allowed to judge other's behavior, and guess at their motives, especially the (former?) richest man in the world. Mental models of other people are a core part of being conscious.
I was referring the to member only channels that most private trackers have (the general process to move up in tracker world has been join redacted/what.cd, make power user rank, use that to join some mid level trackers, and either meet a friend in high places from your existing trackers or grind your way to higher ranks by uploading a bunch of stuff). There probably are lots of private tracker members on general public IRCs like Rizon though.

Amazing headline. It reminds me about a joke from a Futurama episode, from the late 90s, while Fry is channel surfing intergalactic cable, "Sheesh... 40,000 channels and only 150 of them have anything good on."
> With validation you could see people literally buying votes.

I think this is an area where you don't need a technological solution, just a legal one.

Vote selling/buying just needs to be as illegal as blackmail, fraud, etc. Fines and jail terms. (As I assume it already is?)

The thing is, it's going to be incredibly easy to catch, because if you're attempting to pay a group of people (employees, villagers, whatever) to sway their vote, there's always going to be at least one person who doesn't want to and inform the law. (Or else you don't need to be paying in the first place.) Hell, set up punitive damages so a whisteblower is guaranteed 50x whatever price they were being offered for their vote.

How many of these employees signed a letter of "demands" towards their new CEO?

I'm sorry, but I have a really difficult time feeling anything other than schadenfreude for these people. You guys are making how much money working at a company which appears to be unable to actually make money, and at which you appear to see yourselves more as activists than employees.

The gall of these people to then put together a letter of "demands" (not suggestions or requests, DEMANDS), and then the next week complain that they're being asked to show what they've been working on for the last month is just...

Sorry guys, but the gravy train of $250k/yr as a 23 year old product manager working 2 hours a week remotely while making tik toks about how cute your life is are over.
It's not much of an incentive if you just publish all the UUIDs on a public website and who they voted for. If my employer says 'let me see your UUID and if you voted for Bob Jones you get an extra day off!' I can just find a UUID that voted for Bob Jones and give my employer that and they won't be any the wiser, regardless of who I voted for in reality. Recording results is no big deal as long as they aren't provably my results.
Uhh, not from Twitter the product's vantage it's not.

So Twitter will now take down leaked internal comms from Facebook? What about from NYT? What about from CIA?

Obviously they have the right to do this, but yes it's also obviously hypocritical given Musk's approach.
Takata made the change that caused all these problems (switching to a less stable over time explosive compound) to save a few cents. Their chemical engineers noted that this was a likely issue, and they were ignored. Takata then learned this was happening, and continued to ignore, suppress, and claim that each time it happened was an isolated incident, and did not cooperate with investigators.

Basically a company being a company.
It depends what you define at benefits. Is access to the cafe a benefit? Is access to the internal corporate directory a benefit?

> At least not too long ago when I was young enough to be in that crowd - ADHD was the king of "cool" disorders. Everyone wanted to have ADHD. If you were "normal" - that was "uncool". It was like - what's wrong with you? Why don't you have some debilitating problem like everyone else?

Speaking as someone who definitely, definitely has rather severe hyperactive type ADHD complete with anxiety comorbidity and tactile defensiveness that presents sufficiently severely to look like mild ARFID and was diagnosed over a decade ago in early adulthood:

How, just -how-, could anyone want this disorder? It's miserable, it's embarrassing to constantly blurt things out and to immediately regret it and yet not be able to change the behavior, it fucked up my educational experience (I wasn't diagnosed until AFTER that happened), every day is a struggle with it, and because of the stigma it has, I can't even communicate to people effectively what it means that I have it!

So who cares? I care! It hurts ME when people self diagnose or claim to have my disorder when they don't. It's a struggle every. Single. Day. And thanks to people apparently deciding it's cool to pretend to have, a lot of people don't even believe my disorder exists

Endlessly frustrating.
The entire stock market has also not gone to zero. You're comparing apples to oranges. Individual coins have gone to zero, as have individual stocks. It's irrelevant to the argument I made.

Because if the vulnerability involves an HTTP request, then the Host header needs to have the domain name of the target website.

So you need: IP address and port for the TCP headers, and the domain name to go in the TCP packet content.

One example of a vulnerability would be having phpMyAdmin with a database password hardcoded and no login needed. Without the domain name it would still be impossible to access. (Of course, domain names shouldn't be considered secret so this would be a very insecure setup.)

In what universe would that be "properly taxed"? You're saying I can work for 1 year in a $200K/year job and then draw $100k x 30 years = $3,000,000 of value from that one year of work? And it would be fair and just to tax "wealthy people" on my behalf for that?

I still feel like I must be misinterpreting something here, because I can't imagine even the leftiest of leftists thinking this sounds fair. That's basically just UBI except the rate is set for each individual based on whatever the high-water mark of their lifetime earnings were at any point?
It's Schadenfreude btw.
But how many of the new hires are engineers? I've read it has mostly been middle management hires.
Hi Matt, we've recently emailed about Haven and HeyHomepage because we both are RSS-based, so to speak. Your software is oriented towards private (group) communication and makes a strong case as an alternative for Facebook. I've a lot of respect for your product! With HeyHomepage I'm more publicly oriented, more Twitter-like if you will. On top of a publicly accessible website.

The beauty of RSS is it's interoperability. So I was wondering, can your built-in newsreader also read my RSS feed, for example? Or only other Haven feeds?

And the other way around, can I follow private feeds from Haven users with my built-in newsreader? Or any other separate newsreader software, for that matter? As long as Haven users would share that link with me, of course.
WARN is Federal, but for you to see benefits, the layoff has to meet strict requirements. It’s things like closing an entire site, laying off 33% of employees, 500+ employees, etc.
When you buy a company that doesn't make money to show off, then saddle it with $13bn dollars of debt in a leveraged buyout, it goes bankrupt faster. Extra points for driving away paying advertisers in the process then blaming "activists".
Nobody suggested they did. They have an obligation to act in shareholder's best interest. In this case, they'd have a very difficult time explaining that not suing would be in shareholder's best interest.

Can you imagine seeing the first photograph of a person? Like all you'd ever known was paintings and then one day someone shows you a glossy, pixel-perfect photograph of yourself.

Photos didn't start perfect and neither is this black magic of recreating a person's speech patterns.

I am also not a lawyer, but it seems like there is a large gray area when it comes to theft of trade secrets.

For example, Anthony Levandowski was sentenced to 18 months in prison for copying a confidential spreadsheet containing Waymo status updates (out of the charges against him, that's the only one he pleaded guilty to - the rest were dropped).
Economist here! Inflation is an increase in the aggregate price level. There isn't a single cause.

Under the velocity of money theory (which most folks learn in AP Economics and intro college economics courses), an increase in dollars can indeed map to an increase in aggregate price level. Since the sovereign controls the money supply, then "printing money" is indeed considered a driver of inflation under that model.

Being a model, it doesn't capture all elements (especially dynamics and feedback cycles).

Further, a government printing of excess money is not the only way to increase the money supply in circulation. Large generalized increases in discretionary spending can do the same (another injection into the money supply) -- consider Japan.

For folks wanting an accessible intro, investopedia does a decent writeup: https://www.investopedia.com/articles/05/012005.asp
This sounds like you're conflating biological sex (i.e., having both breasts and a penis) with gender (i.e., person IDs as female). I understand why; they use almost the same terms. However, it is important to note that, if you are describing a person who was assigned female at birth, and continues to identify as female, that's entirely describing their gender, not the state of their biological sex characteristics.

In other words, if a person experiences DSD, but self-identifies as male or female, what you are describing is not proof that sex is a binary, but rather proof that a person with DSD can experience gender dysphoria.

Starlink has massive DoD potential, like it or not. Also could be big for banking. Their client facing aspect of it will eventually just be piggybacking off of those two industries.
Mh. I'm kinda sad that this is a distro patch. If that was upstream, we'd be using doas at this point in a few sideline setups, I'd guess. Plus, exploiting a directory list or writing files to a rather niche and secure directory generally requires rather high degrees of privilege and usually implies that the system is owned as a whole anyhow.
In theory the Board's only job is to fire the CEO (and hire the next one) but if you've ever been to a board meeting they hardly are like that at all. They mainly are to align the company's "journey" with the "journey" of all the other companies the board members are involved with.
Ironically? I think in order for this to happen we would have to be _less_ polarized. I don't think in the current state you could _increase_ revenue from it's current place by splitting the customer base.

On the one hand if this keeps going bad maybe he just says fuck it and goes accelerationist like you said. On the other hand, there's a lot of people who put money into this. I truly hope it remains sensible, and do still have faith that our nation isn't this bad off.
Thoughts about Twitter
Economist here. I think you may be confused in the definition of inflation. I responded to another comment of yours, and will reiterate a good writeup I recommend reviewing for improving your understanding on what inflation is: https://www.investopedia.com/articles/05/012005.asp

Not so fast. Your gun (and its variants) are designed to cause extinction. Cars aren't.

And listen up son. If you cannot distinguish between the primary use of things at a given time, you have big problems in life. I would recommend going back to high school to learn what "Critical thinking is, as they say, critical" means.

Whole net performance at comma, when we switch from BatchNorm to GroupNorm it adds 70ms to the training step time, and it's -70ms for no norm. We also wrote a custom AllNorm that's like 10% slower than BatchNorm (and I put several hours into trying to optimize it). Obviously not indicative of everyone's experience, but my point is BatchNorm is hyperoptimized and others, which are pretty much the same thing, aren't.
The conclusion (give money) is obvious.

Employees are here for the money. Having an interesting job, a good work environment, perks, flexibility, etc... is a nice plus but no matter what you are doing, none of your employees will work for free.

Employees are not stupid, when they receive gifts, they know where the money is coming from, and it is money they could have received as extra pay, and they most likely would have made better use of that money than whatever gift they received. Give them money, that's why they are here.

There may be some good reasons for other gifts: taxes. If you give money to your employees, it may be considered salary and taxed as such. An gift card may not, and it can be almost as good as cash depending on where you can use it.
> The very first search result for "windows dev kit"

Somewhere I saw a link, URL, to a Microsoft Web page describing the Dev Kit and followed that link. The link was not the one you gave. And I didn't get the link from a Google search or from this Hacker News thread. In another post to this thread, I gave the URLs I tried, and none of them was the URL you gave.

How did I waste some hours on this? For the URLs I tried, it was tough to make any sense out of what they were talking about -- the writing assumed too much background for the reader and used too much poorly defined jargon.

E.g., I didn't know what a

Snapdragon 8cx Gen 3 Compute Platform

was! That is from QUALCOMM. One of the founders was Andrew Viterbi, and he was a good mathematician who worked in coding theory. I had a graduate course in coding theory that mentioned Viterbi. So, on QUALCOMM, I have a background in some of the technical work of one of the founders. Alas, the course didn't mention a

Snapdragon 8cx Gen 3 Compute Platform

I've taught computer science ugrad at Georgetown U and grad level at Ohio State U but never mentioned the

Snapdragon 8cx Gen 3 Compute Platform

I suspect that could find a lot of graduate computer science courses at MIT, CMU, ..., Stanford that never mention the

Snapdragon 8cx Gen 3 Compute Platform

Net, there is an epidemic problem in the practical computer industry -- too much poorly defined jargon.
The one thing Twitter has going for it is network effect. Tons of people are trying to spin up competitors and encouraging people to go there based on political leanings or other reasons. The fragmentation will just lead to Twitter remaining as the place where everybody comes back.

I’ll be shocked if it doesn’t work out for him because network effects are really hard to overcome.

So companies are allowed to cancel peoples bank accounts because of a few words. The difference is companies aren't doing this because they want too. There scared and can't make decisions.

If one person in a boardroom says Elon is this or Kanye is this we can't do business with him and if you don't agree with me then you are labeled as them. So everyone falls in line out of fear of being cancelled.

You really think Adidas wanted to lose 40% of there revenue because of a tweet. They don't care what Kanye tweeted they would keep him if they knew they wouldn't get cancelled.

It's detrimental to society because it is just the beginning and will be used as a tool for people to get what they want which isn't always going to be good things in the future.

What ever happen to business is business. It's now turned into companies running social justice campaigns out if fear. I mean really were talking about things that are not that big of a deal.
I thought the answer always was "pandoc" when the question was (un)structured markup...
This isn't how it works. If a website is hosting content that infringes on some NDA, then you are supposed to sue the website (and not the person who posted it to the website -- who are often anonymous and can't be directly sued).

So Twitter would need to sue itself to demand that it take down the content. And the judge would reject the suit and scold Twitter for wasting the courts time, and tell Twitter that if it wants something removed from its own website then it should just remove it.
Same reasoning applies to wind, though, Its price is dropping nearly as fast as PV.

But chemical battery prices are also dropping as quickly.

At present the BESS (battery energy storage system) industry is (to a first approximation) a sideline for vehicle battery makers.

Relaxing engineering constraints imposed by vehicle use[1] means BESS prices can drop further. This is happening as the BESS industry splits off from vehicle batteries.

Add vehicle battery swapping like Ample's[2] to an urban BESS, you have two businesses in one, that can follow supply availability exactly.

1. Structural strength, vibration resistance, performance at extreme high and low temperatures, high mass energy density, high power/mass ratio, tolerance for overdischarge being the obvious constraints that can be relaxed a bit.
