This take of "Elon will do a lot worse things with the data" is my own personal take on WHY Musk bought Twitter.

He's of a libertarian bent, so it could well be a real part of the story that he wants more free speech, and less censorship of similar folks.

However, I do believe he is playing that up to try and avoid any discussion of the monumental tranche of data he is sitting on top of and the potential value of it. I recall in the early days, the entire Twitter database was made available to researchers, who found they could predict overall market movement (up, down, some basic idea how much) about 3 days ahead of time by looking at sentiment trends.

All of that is worth "Take over the World" kind of money, where as the free speech stuff is, well. Worth percentage points at best.
And the movies about figures like these that do exist seem to have roughly the same story, relying heavily on the "socially inept genius" trope.
"Follow-up was censored on 28 February 2021, with minimum observation of 18 days."

What does censored mean in this context?

This site isn't for stories about social media or things that "shape our politics and our society," it's for stories that are interesting to hackers: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

There are other places to discuss the former. The initial stories about the Twitter acquisition arguably fell into the latter category, but the constant rumor-mongering, ad-hominem attacks, and ideological battles no longer do.
Dang disagrees, at least when it suits him. He has publicly stated that he adds ? to titles whenever he feels it is justified.
Get an NAD+ booster like Niagen or liposomal NMN; Covid (even mild) seems to deplete a month worth of NAD+ reserves in a few days. You might want to combine it with megadoses of B1 that improve enzymatic affinity after major viral infections. NAC might be helpful as well.

Following his graduate work at Purdue University, Zhang lived in Lexington for a few years and managed the finances at a local Subway franchise. During that time he would also spend hours in the mathematics library at UK, reading journals on algebraic geometry and number theory.

I prefer diet-pi to HifiBerryOS, even for HiFiBerry devices. diet-pi can survive power failures, whereas HiFiBerryOS bricks itself. I use Roon on an old Intel NUC for the source usually, but it supports AirPlay etc.
They could have supported it until SMS was dead and buried. Also, RCS looks to have an upcoming third-party API, so it was absolutely a choice.
To be fair, this is how causality works. It's not only about who did it. In practice the ball rolls as much because it was kicked as because it is round and because it isn't made of solid lead.

Yeah, sorry perhaps I shouldn't have made such a specific sounding claim. I'm not an expert on this topic, but was pretty sure I had heard from reputable sources in the past that the Riemann Hypothesis had some bearing on the distribution of prime numbers. And it feels safe to say that this could have practical implications for cryptography. But maybe I should just leave it to the experts :).
Via more equal outcomes. An egalitarian society might have the same net wealth as a stratified society, but with less relative poverty.

Of course, the bottom x% is what it is - but if you create margins or classes then it works different - ie, the % of people who are making x% less than the median or average or whatever.

English is the IAL as far as air traffic control is concerned.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aviation_English

> Aviation English is the de facto international language of civil aviation. With the expansion of air travel in the 20th century, there were safety concerns about the ability of pilots and air traffic controllers to communicate. In 1951, the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) recommended in "ICAO Annex 10 ICAO (Vol I, 5.2.1.1.2) to the International Chicago Convention" that English be universally used for "international aeronautical radiotelephony communications."[1] Despite being a recommendation only, ICAO aviation English was widely accepted.
I believe it's unfair to call Williams' music a rip-off; film music, as enjoyable as it can be, has a commercial purpose and is created to stand behind the action and dialog of a film, not stand alone as music of the Romantic masters was. His score to Star Wars: A New Hope was a deliberate call-back to the music of Korngold, Steiner, Newman and others who defined film music in the 1930s and 1940s. Korngold was both a legitimate composer of late-Romantic music and a film composer.
>trying to encourage less technical users to be secure

The threat of “losing the keys to all the data” is considerably larger than the threat of having your computer and data stolen for an average home user. It can’t just be a matter of more secure is better… you have to have an idea of what you’re trying to prevent.

All of our shit has been lost in one leak or another so at this point it seems like it barely matters.
Yeah, it's horrific, and doubly so because they've introduced new ways of doing things over time but a lot of how-to content on the web still tells you to use the old ways.

We moved from XWiki to SharePoint, which theoretically should provide more or less the same functionality, but the mental overhead of SharePoint's weird conceptual model just makes the whole thing impossible.
Actually it's a dead convention among all reputable typographers and style guides. Check Chicago Manual of Style. Check MLA. Check APA. Nobody whose business it is to establish the correct number of spaces to put between sentences believes that number to be two.
OK, but at least some hackers are interested in the ways that tech companies shape our politics and our society. (Hacking society is about the biggest hack there is.)
I don't like toki pona. if you're going to have 200 words, why make them long or random? hell, you could have a consonant and a vowel or 2 and you'd have have all of your words and now they could easily be composable together. votgil[1] is basically this but with a single vowel, I haven't dived too deep but it gets close to what it should be. There's also the fact that if you're going to go the toki pona way, you need to go even deeper into the fundamentals of life in order to achieve the right composability. (Think math but for objects). Blyss symbolics also seems to be a better option. Nevertheless it was fun to learn toki pona. and I probably would not have heard of interlingua,blyss, votgil, lojban without it.

Compilers have had detailed pipeline and memory hierarchy models available for decades. This is not a new thing in LLVM, the new thing is a language for describing a pipeline (which replaces an older description language).

I don't know if much higher level optimization is done, possibly some cache blocking? I don't think the limitation is the hardware description available so much as actually using that to make worthwhile optimizations.

Anecdata. One of my colleague got fired for not meeting expectations at his level for two consecutive halves. From what I've seen, he was competent and provided value to the project. Some companies have high turnover and are functioning with the idea that everyone is replaceable.
Maybe; i was thinking of the treatment of crypto generally and the fact that BTC specifically has been adopted as legal tender and thus might be “foreign currency” rather than merely “virtual currency” to the extent that makes a difference.

That would be contributing to something I'm clearly opposed to.

Besides, you can't look at the frequency of posts concerning Twitter, Elon Musk, and the like, the last weeks and honestly say that thing's are normal. It'd be one thing if these posts actually contributed something new and noteworthy, but the overwhelming majority are either a low-quality regurgitation of some random individual's contempt or re-posts just minutes or hours apart.

> I don't exercise a ton, but do some exercise, especially when the dinner plate flairs up.

In general, regular exercise helps strengthen the heart and reduce risks of CVD. If you're generally only exercising when you feel chest pressure and you do have CVD, your heart muscles aren't as strong and strenuous exercise can lead to problems. Going for a walk everyday would be better than exerting yourself irregularly, as the regular exercise will lower your risk of having problems when you do exercise.

Lots of other countries have solved this and similar problems, I doubt it is beyond the capabilities of people in India to do the same. In 1970 Nixon one of America's more questionable executives established the EPA by reorganizing and joining a bunch of disparate environment related agencies under a broader remit. The requisite legislation that gave it teeth like the Clean Air Act were opposed by powerful interests, but it still got done. I'm confident the Indian government could do the same if enough people wanted to.
Ask HN: How do you name behavioral tracking events when building web apps?
I am curious to hear other thoughts about this subject, everyone knows that naming things is hard™, and I would believe that naming events is just that little more difficult.

Given the problem that when working on a product, you want to track a users journey, actions, intent, failures, outcomes etc for the purpose that anyone in the company be them the CEO, marketer, engineer, customer success, support, can piece together the metrics in any appropriate tool (Segment, Google Analytics, Mixpanel, Intercom etc)

How to name things?!?

(events can obviously have metadata attached, such as the url or component where it happened)

This is just riff-raff in an attempt to be thought provoking;

NOUN_ACTION

USER_CLICKED vs USER_CLICK

HOMEPAGE_USER_REGISTERED vs FORMNAME_USER_REGISTERED

LOGIN_FORM_SUBMITTED or USER_LOGIN

SIGNUP_FORM_FAILED or FAILED_SIGNUP

USER_LOGGED_OUT or LOGGED_OUT

OPENED_DOCUMENT or DOCUMENT_OPENED

EVENT or EVENT_HAPPENED or DID_EVENT_DID_NOT

Well, that's a dumb way of looking at things.

If you have minimal customers, then your server costs don't need to go above the double digits. Servers will be almost 1:1, and licensing is usually 1:1. Considering them to be sunk costs is doing the math wrong. It's not like marketing at all.

> Nobody whose business it is to establish the correct number of spaces to put between sentences

What's the metric for establishing what is the "correct" number of spaces? I submit that it's functional, not aesthetic: the speed at which users — i.e., readers — grasp the information being presented. Whether typographers regard a single space as prettier is less important.
This new “not now” rhetoric is annoying me so much. It is so user-unfriendly to deny them the definitive in their decision. These dark patterns creep in anywhere that I get the impression that every eco-system and operating system becomes actively hostile to the user.

Lets loop back to the original point.

Getting rid of C won't get rid of security problems anymore than moving to java and .net got rid of needing to think about memory leaks.

Those that think otherwise are ignorant of history, or choosing to ignore it.

And it gets worse when you consider resource exhaustion, not just memory. There are entire mechanisms in .net and java whose sole purpose in life is to try and deal with resource exhaustion because the GC only deals with 1 aspect of that resource exhaustion (memory leaks).

You are giving Apple way too much credit. All it shows is that the team responsible for driving increases to service revenue has been gaining influence relative to the more user-centric teams. These moves are also very dangerously raising their antitrust profile which seems massively short-sighted.

Companies this large behave much more like some sort of octopus / slime mold hybrid than a primate and giving them credit as if all the moves are well thought out top down plans is rarely correct.
The small drop could be attributable to noise, and you can almost entirely put the least concerned areas into three categories:

- The Middle East, also without free information and also with an incentive to try to limit concern

- various north African countries, which I don't have a good understanding of

What information can a native app get that a website can't?
Very interesting. My homunculus is very ears forward. A lot of my work and fun revolves around my relationship with sound. I did a hearing test last year. It was fine. I have not directly noticed any issues with my hearing, but I recognize that the types of things I might be experiencing might not be so much perceived as hearing but more as orientation, balance, or even be queues to memory that could be altered.

If you had the information available, I'd be very interested to know the names of the diagnostic tests you took. Analysis of how I'm hearing is something I'm uniquely able to analyze over time and compare to medically conducted tests. While I think I know how the second test might have worked, I don't know what I'd call such a test to look for it.

I think analysis of hearing on newly infected to post care of people with COVID and Long COVID could provide useful hints that most other methods might not be able to detect.
Car rentals often show wide variation based on visitor origin. This was observed decades ago (I recall an economics professor mentioning it way back), and on a cursory check just now I was quoted up to 40% lower prices at an international airport, for an otherwise identical rental, by presenting as European* rather than American or Australian.

Such a difference cannot be explained by PPP or insurance factors. We might conjecture that consumer expectations account for the price discrimination, e.g. visitors from Europe may be accustomed to high quality integrated mass transit (including to/from the airport) and thus resent a high car rental price, whilst Australians and Americans assume they'll need a rental to get around, with consequently higher willingness to pay.

* tested with UK, France, Germany, Italy, and the Netherlands.
The functional approach should tend to be more composable though.
Both tor and signal are funded By one or another branch of the American intelligence community.

> we could consider engineering humans to be cancer free

following until you get to that.. there are multiple mechanisms in the body that can result in "cancer" .. its an end result, not the cause. The jump to "we can engineer this out" is exactly what a reader would expect from an investment-and-profit medical company.

There are untold numbers of small poisons and behavioral habits that are known to increase cancer inducement in humans.. all of which could be addressed, but there is little profit in prevention.

Overall, I am taking the time to write this because a rush to genetic engineering is something that might behave like cancer itself over time.
