> impersonating elon is now a ban-able offense

impersonating anyone is a "ban-able offense", and should have been from the get-go. there have been tens of dozens of accounts i've personally reported over the years. all were banned a few hours after.
if you don't mention you're a parody expect people to report your account and to get a ban.
There's no hidden meaning. If one of you explains what you mean vs what I said, then I can clarify.
The mistake was to just not ignore anything what comes from twitter. Twitter is a pile of shit that mostly produces hate, don't see a reason to don't just ignore it.
As far as I know, you need a third person app. Strava will import from Apple Fitness, and you can export the .gpx from Strava.

Before it did that, I used HealthFit (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/healthfit/id1202650514) but there are others, I'm sure some are free.
I look at you, David, I don’t see an intelligent, confident man. I see a cocky, scared-shitless script kiddie.

But you’re a genius, David. No one denies that. No one could possibly understand the depths of you. But you presume to know everything about me because you saw a program of mine, you ripped my fucking life apart. You’re a co-founder, right?
Do you think I’d know the first thing about how hard your life has been, how you feel, who you are because I read a pitch deck? Does that encapsulate you?

Personally, I don’t give a shit about all that, because you know what? I can’t learn anything from you that I can’t read in some fucking powerpoint. Unless you want to talk about you. Who you are. And I’m fascinated. I’m in. But you don’t want to do that, do you, sport? You’re terrified of what you might say.

Your move, chief.
I'm a little surprised that there's zero surprises. If you hadn't seen these emails, but were asked to write the dialogue for what people would say in that scene, you might write pretty much the same arguments.
In the long term, people will just migrate away from the badly-affected areas, towards areas that are positively affected by global warming, i.e. more northern parts that are currently too cold to farm/live/...

It's not something that will happen overnight, but neither is global warming. At the end of the day (or century rather), it'll just be a couple million people migrating, same as what happened in the last ice ages, just on a massively larger scale.
If the source of the flue gas is ~renewable (e.g. wood) and the energy generated is used usefully, this isn't a bad idea for carbon capture. It's much easier to capture the carbon technologically like this, and rely on broader capture (e.g. trees) to pull it out of the atmosphere. What really counts is what happens to the concentrated carbon being extracted - it needs to not go back into the atmosphere.
No one questions that segregated groups with tight information and communication control can result in more efficiently reached results. History has shown us several examples of such highly efficient societies where what can and cannot be said where tightly enforced. But history also has shown us how such societies eventually break from unresolved conflicts within it.

Talking to someone with another viewpoint, even if that viewpoint is a stupid or hateful one, does not mean endorsing. This is not about "fair and balanced", it is about communication and providing ideas outside of their peer group. Now, if you decide to just block flat earthers individually, or as a group (even for non-flat-earth-related communication), you will just create a filter bubble for them in which they can strengthen their now-unchallenged beliefs in.
It's weird how he claims in that first blog post to be a cofounder. I wonder which other things he exaggerates or just plain lies about?

Those blog posts just sound like marketing to me

it has always been like this on twitter. you just need to follow the right folk.
I think its good time. Theres still lots of money around and companies which are profitable are investing in their solutions. Ive recently started working for US companies from my EU location and there seems to be very much need for my services. In fact I can pick how much and for who I do my freelancing work.
Don’t forget rape and racism enthusiast David Sacks.

But you are correct. This looks exactly like you would expect given the people involved.
> outside of the USA if they piss off Mark Zuckerberg enough they can lose the rest of the world because who would want a phone that doesn't have WhatsApp?

We use WhatsApp by default because of the network effects. FB have no power over Apple here because removing it from iPhones would kill the only reason people use it. The switch to (most likely) Telegram would happen overnight.
there was blog post on teamblind that laid out this process. Have blind on banned list on my computer but you should be able to find it.
Would prefer the gasoline variants.
> While the time savings is modest, if you have an electric kettle it's a no brainer to prefer that over gas.

Not quite. Water is heavy and boiling water is dangerous; if you're boiling your water in a teakettle you then have to transfer it to a pot on the stove without scalding yourself.

(This isn't the exact problem I'd experience if I adopted your advice. I have an electric teakettle, but it is low volume and is also sharply limited in the rate at which you can pour out water from it. That's fine if you want to prepare individual servings of tea. It's unworkable if you want to prepare a bunch of boiling water to boil stuff in. But fixing that problem will immediately cause the "boiling water is dangerous" problem.)
> complaining about "anyone can buy blue tick" and then "why am I banned by impersonating" - I guess you got what you wanted, no?

In a few of the cases I've seen, it's been a litmus test. Like - ok if I follow the rules, mark myself as a "parody" (rolleyes) set my name to Elon Musk and fire off a tweet about how I miss Jeffrey Epstein then either one of two things will happen:

1. I am allowed to stay - fine, I don't love Elon but I can exist here. I'll probably go back to tweeting normally now.

2. I am banned - also fine, I now understand that Twitter is a place where Elon carves out little exceptions to please himself, so I don't wanna be here

It's looking like #2 is the case for many accounts. A number of the rest of us who had no interest in doing this are a bit saddened because some people we enjoyed following are gone and the rules/TOS are now almost unknowable, because you also have to append "... or if Elon doesn't like it" to them all. That last bit has a tinge of irony to it, given one of the things he was quite vocal about was making speech more free and open, not less.
That's going to shut down a lot of aluminium in countries that use petrochemicals to process it. Iceland is going to see its industry boom, as they use geothermal to process aluminium. I'd once heard the argument that Iceland exports energy in the form of aluminium billets. That's becoming more and more apparent now.
> Capitalism is a system dependent on perpetual GDP growth.

Disagree. I'm a big fan of capitalism, and recognize that it can take different forms.

https://muslimheritage.com/capitalist-early-arab-islamic-civ...
argues that "the capitalistic system indeed was the prevailing mode of economic activities in the early Islamic civilization."

Arab capitalism in this era did not depend on perpetual GDP growth.

Western capitalism, like so much of Western thought from around the Renaissance, draws deeply on the Arab tradition.

To go back to definitions, "capitalism" was defined by Max Webber. He saw it as part of the Reformation, individuals finding their own connection to God not mediated by the church. Not much GDP growth in that.
Thanks, the Strava heatmaps look very helpful for finding common off-trail routes in the mountains.
Apparently twitter sees about 206 million DAILY active users (don't know about bots...), so that puts this mastodon stuff into perspective.

This is so important it bears repeating. And I'll say it's not only true for parenting. Thank you for putting it this way!
I would guess (hope?) that all Astronomers would run amok against any company trying to do that...

There are areas in the US where you're not even allowed to operate a microwave oven because of the sensible astronomy instrumentation that it would disturb (NRQZ). This would be massively more unpopular. Or so I would hope

I once used all of those things constantly too. I get it, but there are viable alternatives that are worth it for me, and maybe others.

Paper maps exist. As do standalone GPS devices. Personally I look up directions before I leave and write them down. Within a few months of not using a GPS I actually started learning to navigate on my own.

There is even evidence GPS reliance is literally causing atrophy in the portions of our brains evolved for navigation: https://www.vox.com/science-and-health/2019/7/24/20697829/gp...

I actually still use and prefer taxis over uber/lyft because there is no app, and they tend to know where they are going without staring at a phone while driving. As a motorcycle rider, I think all distracting screens should be turned off while driving. They get people killed.

As for photos, dedicated point and shoot cameras are still a thing as they have vastly superior lenses to most/all phones.

As for keeping lists, I switched back to paper notes. I rarely even look at them because the act of writing things down commits it to memory remarkably better than I expected, and my memory is pretty poor.

As for music, I use rockbox on a small dedicated music player with 2tb of storage. I filled it so I have plenty.

There is nothing stopping you from still using a phone for all these things, but consider keeping your phone in airplane mode full time so you are a bit less distracted and more disconnected.

The average person checks their phone 300 times a day. When you know the internet is off... that addictive habit dies down.

I did that for a year and used offline music and maps on the go etc. After that I stopped paying for cell service I never used as I could find wifi anywhere if I felt I really needed it. After that I deleted apps one by one and finding alternatives. Somewhere along the line I started finding I would forget to bring it with me to go shopping or for a walk. About a year ago I just ditched it entirely. I simply realized I am happier and more present and focused without it. Even airports, traveling, etc. There is no anxiety for me when I am without internet or a phone like there once was. It is like modern day survival training that paid off.

The mental health gains and my overall ability to focus has gone up so dramatically I do not see myself ever going back. Maybe a beeper for emergencies but that is about it.

I suggest anyone start with airplane mode and wifi only for a while and see how far down that path is right for them.

If you had asked me 2 years ago if I would ever leave home without a phone I would have thought you were nuts. Detoxing from anything takes time.
IMHO, this is the perfect time to start building for yourself because 2023 is going to be highly unpredictable in terms of your main stint stability. Companies will start finding freelancers instead of full-timers for their non-core verticals.
well said, that's basically what I was tying to say in teh op

> it's not very powerful and has only a 70km range (1 battery, can have 2 batteries for 140km range if you need)

80% of french commute are under 30km, probably much less in Paris, these things are more than enough for the vast majority of people

> Oh also my back will not thank me when it's time to get the 20kg battery out and take it home to charge it.

Actually it should help, people with back issues more often suffer from weak muscles than anything else. Stopping to use your back muscles is the best way to have back problems
A higher human wage increases the incentive to automate with a robotic workforce, which is great.
The environmental review process is also horribly broken in the US. In practice it does relatively little to protect the environment and adds enormous cost and complexity to projects. Important needed infrastructure is held up for years, sometimes decades, in lengthy court battles that frequently don’t meaningfully alter the proposals. In the end the same project is built but at 2-3x the cost.

We should, of course, protect the environment but we’ve gotta find a way to do that which is efficient and doesn’t waste public funds (where that current waste ironically could then be diverted into meaningful projects to protect the environment!).
Sounds like it'd just be another Mastodon -- and heck, likely get federated (or in most cases, not federated...the whole issue with Mastodon) in with the rest.

Back in the Usenet days we had killfiles to do user based filtering -- everything would get sent out, and users would decide what sort of content they didn't want to see. Obviously it was harder back then to just spin up a new identity, so it's not simply a matter of taking the old tech and slapping it on the new, but the approach avoided the splinter effect we get trying to decide for users what will and won't be available to them (whether they like it or not). Snowden actually tweeted a week or two about how trivial this would be to implement on Twitter if they ever actually wanted to (with a working one liner to prove it). The issue thus far has usually been that advertising funded social media THRIVES on the controversy, and only moderates what it needs to to keep advertisers happy. They don't WANT you to make it a pleasant experience, because controversy and fights get more ad views.

Perhaps at some point bandwidth becomes cheap enough that we can cut back on how much of a role advertisers play in steering the ship. Until then I don't see a great solution to any of this.
> Was hoping they were finally headed to space in season 5

That would have been an interesting setting for sure.

But, I just did a re-watch of it these last couple of months and I finished season 4 this weekend; Doloris clearly states it was going back to West World (wild West) in the last episodes. And the whole World was being re-built (from memory?) in order to play one last game [0].

To think this launched at the same time as Game of Thrones, which I never bothered with as it's just a mangled recount of the sordid dynasties and ruling classes of of former empires, but Game of Thrones was asking some much needed questions in regards to the implications of a Society more heavily reliant on technology. And while AGI will likely never come to fruition in my lifetime, 90s kid, it's still a rather good juxtaposition if it will just accelerate our demise and lead to our hasten extinction in this headlong pursuit and seemingly more dystopic existence.

Sidenote: The Cyberpunk theme of season 3 was visually interesting, with some solid premise (the importance of free will rather than a dictatorship via technocracy) but woefully bad as a whole in it's execution. Zero HP Lovecraft's gig economy app was heavily influencing the RICO app plotline for sure.

Personally I think this could be solved by having two types of instances: 1) generic boring ones where you can make your own personal profile 2) specific ones acting like special interest groups where you cannot create a profile but can only post using your already existing personal one from a "generic" instance
Trolling Musk on Twitter because you do not like his takeover is an act of protest & is patently speech.

If I stated commenting on HN as "dang_sucks", and I was banned for it, I'd call it an overreach.

You probably shouldn't throw stones about juvenile antics, seeing as you're inside that glass house.
and someone might have a bad sense of humor too!
> One major theme in the ongoing US-Russia conflict over the past decade-plus (dating back to at least 2008) is a fight over who gets to sell oil and gas to Europe.

No, it wasn't. America wasn't pushing to sell to Europe, and Europe was becoming more and more reliant on Russian and Asian gas. The shift to American gas (and every other country they can get it from) happened after Russia invaded Ukraine and then shut off the taps when Europe instituted sanctions.

Iranian sanctions were mostly inertial, but have now turned out to be good considering that Iran is negotiating nuclear tech in exchange for shipping weapons to Russia.
Selling more gas to Europe isn’t a massive windfall to USA. The Biden administration has bigger fish to fry and wouldn’t risk such an intervention in Swedish waters just as Sweden is joining NATO.

My money is on Russian hardliner factions operating rogue without Putin’s approval. He can’t admit he doesn’t know who did it. The Russian state security apparatus is so large, we have no idea what kind of internal tensions exist. Putin may have unleashed something he doesn’t control anymore.
You definitely can. You can attach any standard USB drive to an iPhone/iPad and it shows up in the Files app as a storage source along with every other data storage provider you have installed (Dropbox, Box, OneDrive, Google drive, iCloud, the local device, etc.)

Every app that reads and writes files shows your standard file picker that lets you load and save files that can then be shared across applications. This has been the case for years.
This reminds me of the time that, after having publishing my first ever piece of professional work, a competing academic privately threatened and later actually did put out a series of tweets calling me a liar and a fraud. He was wrong, of course; my benchmarks were accurate, it was just that I was using the tools for a very particular task and he was doing something quite different in his own tests, but holy shit did I cry so hard that day.

It's terrifying being effectively whipped in the town square and called a fraud in front of not only some hot shot's 50k followers but also your academic and professional colleagues. I was panicking because I knew I had done good work and I didn't want someone ruining either my work or the reputation I had just started building. I ended up talking with some friends, my advisor, and some mentors and ended up calming down. I ended up just muting him on twitter and walking away from the entire thing, though I have heard he still brings it up to this day any time anyone mentions this project within earshot of him.

From what I hear, it's unfortunately not uncommon for publications to go this way when performance-crowns are up for grab. I've mostly slipped off the public publishing route since I found it's not something I love, but you know some people really are assholes and, well, so it goes...

I'd stick to "store creator" vs. "marketplace creation". This isn't really creating a marketplace and I don't think people would want to do that no-code anyway.

People would however want a no-code store creator (e.g. shopify).

> "style of moderation"? what does that mean?

Consider HN. Try to post a thread of puns here, and you will be flagged. Do it often enough, and you will be blocked. That is a style of moderation.

Consider Reddit. Post pun threads there and you'll likely be heavily upvoted instead. That is a different style of moderation.

To take more extreme examples, there are fediverse instances that consider racism to be ok, and there are instances who don't consider it ok but won't block other instances as a matter of principle, and there are instances who will block whole instances if they don't moderate racism. Those are all styles of moderation.

You have a choice in which rules are right for you. You might want a highly curated environment (like HN), or a more freewheeling one (like Reddit), or a near total free-for-all (like 4chan). Which one you pick may determine who else are willing to talk to you, because some dislike eachother - whether justified or not - enough to not want to talk to each other. If I want an instance that blocks people who like dogs on sight, I'm free to do so, and you're free to consider it an idiotic policy and not join my instance.

Nothing stops you from having more than one account if you want a mix of environments who don't get along.

I wonder if all these commenters blaming Musk for screwing up Twitter and the layoff realize that the pre-Musk Twitter had already planned layoffs.

> Before Musk took over the site, Twitter had already planned broad layoffs, which would have affected up to a quarter of the staff, according to people familiar with the plans. The Post reported previously the company’s board was planning to cut thousands of jobs as part of an effort to save $700 million in labor costs.

Well, people using it for spreading information means people being excluded from receiving that info.
If you used a language that was good at X, and saw some code trying to do X in a language not suited to it, I could see "my eyes are bleeding" being a reasonable joke to make to other people who used your language and not the other. If the intent was to mock a language rather than a programmer that seems less dickish.

The brevity of Twitter means a lot of the context is missed, even now there's some debate and confusion about what they actually meant by these comments.
I wonder if Mastodon could work with everyone having their own server bundled with the app. It would then be completely decentralized.

AFAIK thats the plan for Matrix too.
