What we are entitled to do, what is polite to do and what we can do for clickthroughs are three different things. Coming to conclusions on partial information may as well be jumping to them in many circumstances. The ideal approach would be to add a disclaimer of where the fact to supposition transitions, and if the conclusion is sensible at least source similar cases.

If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck it’s probably a duck. Or a duck robot, or my kid running around with my phone again imitating a duck while watching duck YouTube videos.

Whatever the conclusion, state facts but don’t state conclusions as facts.

First-past-the-post is pretty horrible. Alas, experience from Australia shows that single transferable vote isn't any better in practice, either. It's more complicated with no benefit in practice. (See https://rangevoting.org/rangeVirv.html for more details on Australia.)

If traditional voting is required, I have higher hopes for approval voting or the slightly more complicated range voting. These are quite easy to evaluate completely by hand. Especially the former.

If you are happy to go a bit off the beaten track, using sortition amongst volunteers might be a good way to fill up a parliament. (Or any other body big enough for the law of large numbers to kick in.)

As a slightly more complicated system, I would have every voter indicate their favourite candidate on a ballot sheet, and then draw enough votes at random to fill up parliament.

(Use your favourite mechanism to handle the same candidate being voted for multiple times in your sample. Perhaps give them more weight, or re-draw, or have people write down an ordered list of preferred candidates, and admit the highest ranked one who isn't already in parliament, etc.)

Random sampling is surprisingly powerful. It also completely bypasses Arrow's impossibility theorem.
Thanks for sharing! In the first screenshot of CLI output, it seems to show three buses all being 1 minute out? Am I misreading that?
I saw that the reference card designs for the RX 7900 XT(X) that were shown during the reveal have the following ports:

* 2x DisplayPort 2.1

* 1x HDMI 2.1

* 1x USB-C, likely supporting DisplayPort as said above

Some add-in board (AIB) partner cards may replace this USB-C port with another DisplayPort port.

Now if you have an APU or CPU with iGPU, then it may be possible to enable both discrete and onboard graphics so you can fully utilize them.
Buddy you’ve drunk too much of the kookaide. Musk is telling stories. Look at what he did to the ca bullet train. Don’t believe his “vision”

Privileged compared to most around him? I'm not comparing OP to the Kennedys but just because he came to the US with a few hundred bucks and worked hard does not mean he is not privileged.

The generational poverty thing is a disingenous distraction. Hypercompetitive environments like the bay area is rife with OP-like cases, the parents go after the boxes to check to get into the top schools, the kids check them. OP's son worked hard and will almost certainly go to a good school, but... Sharma's son went to MIT! All that has happened is that the gaming Indian parents do doesnt work as well as it once did because others wised up to it. I see nothing wrong with promoting someone who has "unforced" talent, and in some cases race may be a poor way in some cases to base that upon, but in general it is not so bad.

The real tragedy is that the most unfair thing these colleges do, which the article mentions, legacy admissions, gets a pass in all the AA talk.
My guess is you have no idea what you are talking about.

The $8 is for algorithmic juice for your tweets and half the normal ads, as well as the blue check.
The current circulating supply of DAI is slightly above 6B, so what you claimed is literally impossible.

The average case scenario is some of it is ponzi mixed in with other non ponzi, and in my book I'll call even a "10% ponzi", a ponzi scheme. Maybe you have a different bar to calling something a ponzi, so knock yourself out.
> It's impolite to assume on someone's behalf in public.

They asked a question, they didn’t state an assumption.

And why is it impolite.

we’re not talking about difficulty, we’re talking about politeness.

> You seem to have a really hard time grasping that this entire comment thread we are part of wouldn't exist if OP had reached out about their concerns in private.

i don’t think i’d be here if it weren’t for you calling him impolite.

in fact, i’m quite surprised you would assume i have a hard time grasping why this thread exists in public rather than messaging me in private. would you mind messaging me on another social media platform directly before you do that? i hear that’s the polite thing to do here.
> Alameda is helmed by quants from Jane Street etc.,

The CEO worked at Jane Street for less than 18 months and appears to have had a fairly junior role there. I'm sure they are smart folks but there's a limit to how much you can learn in 18 months, in your first job after college.

Sorry - so how do I ensure that the code running is the code I expect it to at the moment I vote? I "can simply hire a computer expert to examine it and see, in real time"? That doesn't seem feasible while I'm sitting in the voting booth.

I see they are using manual vote counting this time around to check, but how is that any guarantee the software will be the same in 2 years time when it happens all over again? Knowing there is software in some git repo somewhere that I can audit doesn't make me trust the machine in front of me any more.
It's still a win if the person writing them costs less than the person who'd be coding, and/or if it expands the pool of people capable of making changes to the code base.

> My point is that if your productivity can be easily measured by LOC, then don’t tell me that LOC is a bad metric.

OK, so, I fundamentally disagree with the if condition.

This is in no small because of a previous coworker, in a place that shall not be named, who regularly duplicated entire class files rather than subclassing them, and his given argument when we challenged him on this was that he "couldn't subclass because the access specifiers were set to private" (yes really his defence was that bad).

Worse, I'd already added some "TODO: deduplicate this method" comments to the original, because the original was already a mess of copypasta code, and the new class duplicated all of these too.

So, a lot of new LOC that day, but none of them were good additions.

Everybody does it. But many consider one side to be immoral while doing it.
This is preposterous, a tech worker is never going to be as wealthy as Elon in 2010, unless they starter thinking of themselves as a founder instead of a worker.

I will admit to having a few feelings of jealousy of the founders I know who have done far far better than o have on the game of building big companies, but that is also mixed with happiness for them.

With Musk, it's different. It's sadness and disappointment, to see someone throw away so much goodwill and be such a horrible person. Some of this is the media becoming adversarial with tech, while at the same time profiting off the hype bubble that the media itself created for Musk. But I view him as a lost man that needs a better support network and a slightly better filter so that he stops looking so foolish all the time.
Yeah he’s only seen like a handful of new space rocket designs through from conception to profitability, and he only created one major car company before moving onto other things. He can never stick to anything.

>"How did you go bankrupt? Two ways. Gradually, then suddenly."

I have a feeling that we are in a similar situation economically. I've definitely noticed prices rising at the grocery store and my insurance premiums have gone up roughly 40%, even after shopping around for a better rate. I haven't made any claims or did anything that would make me a greater risk. I feel like people have mostly managed to absorb the inflationary pressure but I don't think it will last.
Can you show one example of a 500 company in the last 10 years that layed off 50% of their headcount on a single day?

There is a ton of innovative stuff that is not open source. I don't see what open source has to do with innovation.

Can't they satisfy the WARN act by giving at least 2 months of severance pay and benefits?
Also, the Emacs that we know and use today (GNU Emacs) which is actually based on Lisp, started from a decade later (1985). The 1976 Emacs was written as a series of macros for the TECO editor (hence the name Emacs for editor macros).
I think most people on HN would agree with the thrust of the article in its original context of software development. Transparency, user control, and freedom are recognized as goals in and of themselves, and not just a means to produce widgets faster.

If the same idea is applied more generally, the conclusion would seem to be that publicly run and accountable institutions should be prefered to privatization. In the software context it's obvious that it isn't productive to pay people to secretly reinvent the wheel over and over for profit, yet this is exactly what we do when it comes to many government functions.

As a very occasional user Twitter, I have to admit that the glacial pace of functional improvements when I drop in from one month to the next does not suggest a company with 7,000 employees.

But is it really though? That's the parent was alluding to.

I have the same feelings - all my important data are readable/writeable as my user, if I somehow manages to run a malicious program as my normal user it's game over as far as I'm concerned, having root would cause no extra damage.

Is it? Provided you have a working democratic state with checks and auditing, what is the problem that voting machines solve?

The level of guarantees that you have with a paper vote is hard to surpass and the inconvenience of paper vote is not that big considering how often voting occurs (even in the extreme case of Swiss style referendums).
Spending even one minute reviewing the Supreme Court's 25 year history would discover a fairly significant shift in its makeup recently.
Good questions!

>Can you clarify why you think the new owners will look the other way at crimes being committed on their platform?

The old owners only did what they had to when the threats floated to the surface of the lagoon. The new owner has explicitly said that free speech means free speech. I believe overt threats of violence (read: I will kill X on June 5, 2023) will be addressed, but anything that can be played off as "satire" or "joking" (Read: somebody should kill X. lol jk) will be ignored, if not promoted for the extra eyes and clicks.

>is this the trajectory you see regardless of ownership?

No. I believe with old ownership we would see what we currently have in perpetuity. There was no innovation from Twitter, but there was also no real negative change either. Status quo.

>And if not how will new ownership contribute to it?

From what I read/see, Elon Musk espouses the view that people who disagree with him are lesser than. I believe he genuinely thinks he is better than everyone else; smarter, stronger, faster, better. I believe he will see people who act and think the same way (read: toxic) on Twitter, and automatically defend them if not outright promote them. This group will include people who incite violence.
> Last I checked

Might want to check again. He didn't create Tesla, he invested in it. ~Musk didn't create SpaceX, he invested in it.~ EDIT: the SpaceX one is wrong.

And IMHO, if he was really concerned about the existential risk for AI, perhaps he shouldn't have let the Ethical AI research team go from Twitter.

To be clear, Ethical AI - being able to trace an AI's decisions and vet that those decisions aren't being biased by improper input data - is a big topic in research groups right now. It's actually quite fascinating.
996 culture in China already highlights this as a valid strategy. Perhaps a little too obscure for the typical pointy haired boss. Elon will be a great poster boy.
I'm pretty sure Elon has more confidence in the Tesla AI team. I suppose he will move someone he trusts into a team lead for whatever AI activities (if any) Twitter will have in the future.
My thoughts exactly. When I was still living in Germany, the system worked pretty much the same. (No clue whether they changed anything since then?)

However this sane and simple system would probably not work in eg Australia? Their voting system is too complicated.

Why is it so difficult for trading companies to simply keep the money in the reserve and never touch it unless your client wants to liquidate his share?

I know, having that huge pile of cash and not doing anything with it can lead to huuuuuge temptations, but that's what I'm paying the company to do. If I wanted to invest my funds into something I would move my money to a separate investment account that the institution can play with as they please (with some client-defined risk restrictions) and give me a percentage of profits
Samba - or to be precise MS AD is not just about files. On Linux it's limited to files and that's exactly the problem I'm talking about. On Mac it's at least able to share certificates and some basic settings now - still not ideal though.

Actually with modern clouds like OneDrive it's not about files at all, I haven't seen network drives being used for a decade. It's about privileges to various resources available within the corporate network and about what you can't do with your work computer, and about having the computer auto-configure to play with all the resources on corporate network.

It's about setting detailed access level based on AD groups - including user applications, not just networked drives or whatever. Permissions to CRM/ERP systems, document management systems etc. Detailed as much as "this user can only see contracts and invoices assigned to the London branch".

I open my computer and I immediately see the printer that's nearest to me as the first printer in the list. Access to it is authenticated and authorized (with no additional password prompts). I can simply choose a document from SharePoint and send it right there, walk over there and slap my chip card on it and have it printed. It's part of my system's print queue but if I switch computers in the meantime I can still work with the queue item there.

I scan a document and it goes directly to my OneDrive which is automatically connected to whatever computer I sit at as soon as I log in, regardless of me using a random terminal that's been sitting in whatever office I'm visiting.

I'm unable to break anything because there is no root to login to, nobody ever uses sudo on the computer, nobody ever needs admin privileges on it (harder to do with devs but common for all other professions). If an app needs to be added the computer is remotely reimaged from an image with the app added (this requires a one-setting change by the admin, nothing else). No user settings or files go missing in the process.

Corporate VPN, firewall, proxy servers, wifi network, wired network - all of it requires auth. The system just takes my user certificate and just works with it all by itself. Nothing is available without auth, nothing is unencrypted.

Building this kind of system with Microsoft products is as easy as installing a few apps on the corporate server machine. I literally learned how to do it when I was 12 and couldn't speak English yet.

Building it with Linux - well I am pretty skilled with Linux admin (as much as you'd expect someone who used it as their primary system for 15 years and hosts their own websites etc) but I can't even imagine where to begin.

Using puppeteer to connect to individual machines and turn options there - that's crazy. Enterprise Windows are fully declarative. And using separate systems to manage Windows/Mac and Linux - that's crazy. Apple is doing what it can to support MS AD - if Linux wants to be a special case, it's going to remain a special case.

I've seen this lately. Recently, I've done interviews with multiple companies over product-related roles. They all get back to me weeks later saying "we ended up hiring internally" or "we ended up eliminating the role completely".

But if you look on LinkedIn, Indeed, etc... these companies are still keeping job postings up and adding new ones all the time. It seems kinda fraudulent IMO
I saw the opposite. "Experts" being totally wrong and fear mongering without evidence. It was rural governments that said "prove it".

Recall how various studies on covid lethality, vaccination and masks were wildly different. The Israel study is a quick one. This is exactly what happened when influenza was new in the 1920's.

Yet the "experts" made it sound like everyone is going to die if you are not wearing a mask 24/7 and isolating. This is what "do no harm" ideology becomes - causing mass harm to everyone to potentially protect a few.

"Orbital north", a.k.a. the north ecliptic pole, isn't really something that makes sense to plot on a map. It's a three-dimensional vector that points in the direction of the northern constellation Draco. So when viewed from the perspective of an observer on the Earth's surface, it appears to trace out a circle in the sky (centered on Polaris) every 23 hours and 56 minutes, as the Earth rotates under it.

I suppose if you want, you could calculate the projection of that vector onto a local tangent plane to the Earth's surface at a particular instant in time, and translate that to a compass direction. It would point somewhere between NNW and NNE, depending on your latitude, time of year, and time of day. (If I'm visualizing it correctly, it ought to point due north at local noon on the summer and winter solstices.)
