Yeah I’d prefer this.

I’ve yet to see if people will lose their verification if they don’t pay. I’m not sure if I’m going to keep mine, and I’ve been paying for Twitter Blue until now anyway.
Depends if they already scammed some payment details.
It's really the intersection of stuff though - he's driving plenty of the attention, but Twitter's also a large and influential company, so changes to their business model, moderation, and staffing are all things that would make the front page of HN even if their CEO was someone less interesting.

I'm feeling burned out on it all as well, but it's not as if each of these moves is some meaningless thing that's being hyped up just because it's Musk. If Facebook started charging $8 for a super-Instagram account, that'd be big news.

It's not as if we get posts for random things about Tesla or SpaceX all the time - it's mostly just for major launches, product or rocket. The recent circus is exceptional because it's so many movements happening so fast.
This is true.

To be honest, it's really money of Tesla shareholders that is at stake. Sure, Elon will take a hit, because the math is intractable. So this thing will go south, but it's Tesla shareholders that will eat most of the losses, not Elon.
It doesn't appear to actually be there when I checked. Is everyone else seeing this?

All I see is the previously existing $4.99 a month option. I did update the app to the newest version.
Thanks for the heads-up, I'll fix it asap.
People aren't mass-leaving Twitter because Twitter owns their data. They were happy with someone else owning their data to the extent that they were users of Twitter. They're mass-leaving Twitter becomes Elon Musk bought Twitter. Elon Musk cannot buy Mastodon. He might buy your particular server, but the chances he'd try to are much more remote because the benefit of doing so is much less.
> Where precisely would you hold a demonstration to protest the widely distributed Bentleys of Calabasas?

Fair point about Bentleys, but not about Calabasas. You would protest Calabasas mansion owners in Calabasas, South California. Same with Los Altos Hills mansion owners in Los Altos Hills neighborhood in Bay Area. Those two aren't brands, they are areas/neighborhoods.
Stolen credit cards.

Also, the $8 price will make it useful for card testing, the practice of checking whether stolen credit cards work.
Alternative proposal: Count the number of commits devs are making. Since some devs make more frequent commits than others, for each dev review some fraction of their commits at random, and rate how substantial the randomly sampled commits are. Then multiply average commit importance by number of commits to get an overall productivity score.

Thoughts? I think the biggest counterargument is that it incentivizes churn like making a commit and then reverting it later.
It’s my understanding that Tolstoy was paid by the page (or something like that based on how many words he wrote). It’s an interesting analogy to code in that Tolstoy’s writing is wonderful. His style is delightfully monotonous. It’s interesting to note that the incentives you’re talking about don’t have to result in bad code just different code (in the hands of a good enough programmer).

> And the moderation being correct or not isn't the concern-- just the fundamental dishonesty of shadow banning.

Exactly. The dishonesty is the part that bugs me.

> (though, ironically, outright spammers might have an easier time making the legal argument because they'd be more able to show monetary damages).

Right. For me, even if you could show that everyone had monetary damages, I'm not sure society comes out on top, because then there's also shadow demotion. How do you show that? Being the top item vs. the second item in a list makes a huge difference in terms of visitors.

IMO we need to build systems that hold today's popular social media sites accountable on a regular basis. Accept that shadow moderation is part of today's systems and just start building tools that can counter it with information. If we need to build them ad-hoc once in awhile, or somehow be "on alert" for when the problem inevitably crops up again, I'm not sure that works as well as always having the problem somewhat at hand. In the free speech world there's the concept of Mill's "dead dogma",

> However unwillingly a person who has a strong opinion may admit the possibility that his opinion may be false, he ought to be moved by the consideration that however true it may be, if it is not fully, frequently, and fearlessly discussed, it will be held as a dead dogma, not a living truth. [1]

That's from John Stuart Mill's On Liberty.

> I am tremendously grateful for reveddit, and I think it's made a contribution to better the world. But I'm also not sure how far we can get with awareness. Even after all this time the whole subject can't even come up without people constantly repeating the false claim that subreddit mods can't shadow ban users (or their comments)!

Haha, I consider such folks paid to say so. It makes no sense, right? Some of these messages get repeated over and over as if they're the covers on TPS reports.

We're close to getting real publicity about it. I had an hour long conversation with a journalist a few months ago but I think they decided not to do the story. Regardless, people can see that transparency is needed, and they know that people are somehow becoming fanatics because of social media across all sorts of issues. They're nervous about showing their ideological opponents what gets removed, so they're not ready to take that step. We just need to help them see it's the right thing to do. Internet forums should be a little bit ugly like the real world. To the extent they're more pristine, you're just putting off that problem until the real world. We can "make the internet experimental again", or whatever.

> But don't see anything better to do right now-- so education it is!

Yeah! That's where I'm at. Happy to meet someone of the same mindset. Gotta catch some Zzz's now, thanks for your comments.

What conflict of interest do you envision?

This case is primarily about US citizens living in another country (and in this case, with dual nationality), having multiple local bank accounts, and not reporting them.

Accounts are easy to create. Eg, https://www.usbank.com/financialiq/manage-your-household/per... describes using multiple savings accounts to help with budget organization.

According to the linked-to piece, each of these needs to be reported, and each are subject to the maximum penalty, even though they are really just different buckets in the same bank.
One thing to note is while there are not a lot of quantum algorithms (though wikipedia's list is very incomplete!), some of them are massively useful. Grover's algorithm provides a quadratic improvement in black box search (which is a subroutine in many many many many algorithms). Solving a system of sparse linear equations can be solved log(n) time on a quantum computer, compared to n on a classical computer. This is the single most important problem in scientific computing.

While I disagree with Musk on a variety of cultural issues, I see few other people on this planet that are tackling the same problems that he is, at the same scale that he is.

I get upset when my workplaces don't provide me with a high DPI monitor. I feel every screen should be a "retina display" by now and we should accept no less. Needless to say I feel that working in VR is currently a sad joke. VR headsets simply don't have adequate PPI and optics yet. Text is barely legible unless it's blown up to ridiculous sizes.
No, it wasn’t some accident of Swedish politics. The same thing happened all over the world at the same time. It happened in India, it happened in China. It happened in Germany. The movement toward state owned enterprises in the 1960s and 1970s was reversed in myriad countries with myriad political systems because it didn’t work.
Not 100% on topic, but I got myselt a little wearable display (Vufine VUF-110) that straps on to my glasses, but it's not too bad as a second monitor. Of course, it's only 720p and could really only fit 80 characters wide on the screen, but that just keeps my line lengths short...
> If you have errors in your program, does it matter that much if those errors are caught during runtime or compile time?

Of course it matters. If an error can be caught by the compiler, it will never get to production. Big win.

With typeless languages like python the code will get to production unless you have 100% perfect test coverage (corollary: nobody has 100% perfect test coverage) and then some unexpected moment it'll blow up there causing an outage.

This happens with metronomic regularity at my current startup (python codebase), at least once a month. It is so frustrating that in this day and age we are still making such basic mistakes when superior technology exists and the benefits are well understood.
What lidar product are you referring to? The Dawn Project and founder are unaffiliated with any lidar company.

Are you perhaps referencing the unrelated test [1] by a unrelated lidar or maybe AEB company that was making the rounds a few months ago? That test was demonstrating the Tesla AEB system and whether it would override the human pressing on the accelerator like the other car. This is unrelated to the Dawn Project tests which evaluate the ability to avoid child pedestrians without intervention as seen in the videos.

You're twisting words into things they don't mean at all.

First of all, no, the force of law is civil law as well, I don't know where on earth you're getting the idea that it's not. That's just incorrect. Law is law.

Especially since it's against the law to sell those photographs. If you do, you'll be sued and lose, and if you don't cooperate you'll go to jail for civil contempt.

By your logic, you could just as easily say you're allowed to murder. That yes you're sent to jail, but you can be sent to jail for other things too, so that's just a red herring. ;)

If you say "you are allowed to take photos anywhere you are allowed to be" but you get kicked out for it, or arrested, charged and convicted for trespassing if you refuse to budge and continue to take photos... I don't know what definition of "allowed" you're using. If you wind up in jail, I'm pretty sure you weren't allowed. :)

You are only arguing against the against the packagers using other materials in response to the suggested regulation. (Also note that "increasing the cost to make plastic unenviable" is not the proposed regulation)

GP suggests that the packagers could also use easier-to-recycle plastic, or raise prices to pay for collecting and sorting.

As an example: Bottle deposits work well - IIRC resulting in 70-90% of all bottles being collected. Much harder to implement for general plastic waste of course, but it show that recycling can sort of work:

PET recycling:

> Worldwide, approximately 7.5 million tons of PET were collected in 2011. This gave 5.9 million tons of flake. In 2009 3.4 million tons were used to produce fibre, 500,000 tons to produce bottles, 500,000 tons to produce APET sheet for thermoforming, 200,000 tons to produce strapping tape and 100,000 tons for miscellaneous applications. Thus only approximately 15% of collected PET bottles were actually recycled into new bottles, the rest being used in generally non-recyclable products.

15% recycled isn't great from a "circular economy" perspective, but most of the rest is downcycled which probably is also a good thing. (although if that flake is used instead of more environmentally friendly alternatives due the probably dirt-cheap price the equation becomes more complex.)

> I want that data type to have helpful methods such as .Domain() or .NonAliasValue() which would return gmail.com and foo@gmail.com respectively for an input of foo+bar@gmail.com.

No the hell you don't.

Please please please do not attempt to separate the alias from an email address I submit. It's there for a reason - specifically, to hold you accountable if I experience a sudden influx of spam, and generally to keep things categorized in a world where senders can be sending things from all sorts of domains. Knowing that this is something one would even remotely consider is grounds to never touch anything one has built with a ten-foot pole, and I am now very strongly inclined to look into the author and compulsively scrub any accounts of mine from anything said author might've touched.

I am not exaggerating. The thing before the @ is meant to be opaque. Deeming otherwise for the sake of something so blatantly user-hostile as removing aliases is plain evil, and I will not sugarcoat my condemnation of such practices.

If you're sufficiently sociopathic to have no regard for the morality argument here, then at the very least take heed of RFC 5322 (https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc5322) and recognize that trying to parse any meaning from an email address' local-part is blatantly ignorant of IETF specifications and almost certainly will create bugs. Just don't do it - if not for your users' sake, then for your own.

Basically anything that has to do with processing an analog signal. It's always faster to do that with analog electronics rather than using a ADC, doing the computation in the digital domain, and then getting the result back to the analog world with an ADC.

One example, if I need something that when two switches are triggered will turn on a light bulb (basically an AND gate) it's obviously faster doing that with an analog (mechanical) device, that is the two switches wired in series, than acquiring the signal with a microcontroller and outputting a signal to turn on the light bulb.

Thinking about the industrial world, there are cases where you have constraints about speed and real time that make sense to do signal processing with analog components rather than digital ones. And that was always the case before computers where invented, by the way (missile guidance systems were purely analog, as one example, you can do a lot of stuff!)
This is why VR pixel density (PPD) is so important for VR computing. It's the #1 thing that impacts how legible text and other fine details are when working. Here's a list of headsets for comparison:

- Valve Index: 11.07 PPD

- Quest II: 20.58 PPD

- Quest Pro: 22.6 PPD

(In full disclaimer I'm affiliated with SimulaVR, and we're working on a headset with 35.5 PPD.)

Lets you dump/query data into it without spinning up a complete database server + web frontend? I could have used something like this in my sysadmin days.
Further, the workload /just moves/ to another node. In the old ways, the service was tied to the node it was on. If a disk failed, the service failed. Now, within moments, that service moves and the node can just go away. It’s almost magic. I think the reason k8s doesn’t make much sense in a home-lab setting is due to the limited nodes.
Lucky you.

Issues like one device got a slightly different baud rate, enough to make it either not work at all or having a lot of transmission errors?

I have, and I'm sure a lot of other people have their own horror stories.

Corporations have a fiduciary duty to all shareholders, including minority shareholders - not just the majority. The issue isn't it being "illegal" for "employees of one company helping out another".

"real" in this context means inflation adjusted. Inflation decreases the value of money, but also the size of debts. Inflation is currently shrinking debts faster than the interest payments build it up. But it depends on what interest rate you have, high risk - high rate debt does not work like this.
VR pixel density is arguably on an exponential curve. Most headsets are within one tripling of "human eye resolution".[1] A few are within one doubling.

> every single one reversed course. Because it just didn’t work.

Didn't work for whom?

To suggest that political changes happen due to "it didn't work" seems like a pretty shallow conclusion. There are a lot that can be said about the last decades of free-market privatization & reforms in Europe, and in Sweden in particular, but that it was done out of necessity rather than a general political shift after the collapse of the Soviet Union is simply a biased take.

> Solving a system of sparse linear equations ... is the single most important problem in scientific computing.

I think this is arguable. To be sure, a lot of linear-system solving goes on in science, but you cannot conclude from this that it is the "single most important problem", it's just the one that we happen to know how to solve, and so that's where the compute power goes. It's like looking for your keys under the street light because it's easier to see rather than because it's where you lost your keys. Protein folding and the Navier-Stokes equation are arguably "more important", we just have no idea how to solve those problems.
