I mean yeah some reorganizations were probably needed, but he seems to take a shotgun approach to it. Fire half the people, whip the leftovers into making a new feature to be done within days, shun the actual people using the platform by removing their verification, demanding payment, and having them banned anyway when they cause him butthurt, etc.

He could've done all that much more smoothly. Now though, Twitter is spiraling.
It is. It's just different forms of them. HN comment section can be considered a social media, Reddit definitely is a social network. If you are broad with the term, anything with a community can be considered social media. What I quit are the "passive" social media that market themselves as such, with the social part being their primary function and attraction.
I'm 99% confident that anyone with Twitter on their resumè will have no problems landing another job.

Gwynne Shotwell is COO, and in my view is the best in the business, and she handles the day to day SpaceX not Elon.
This sadly follows how car EV market is segmented. You have Smart and Polo with <100 km range on one end and Teslas, Porches and ginormous SUVs on the other end, and nothing in between.
I find the concept that my ideas are not flawed (and how dare anyone suggest they are) and success is a matter of connections and existing wealth more self pleasing.
> All the devices I have used were perfectly fine generating a low, constant heat

I have never seen an induction cooktop that could generate low, constant heat. Even pretty pricy ones (eg. a 3000€ Bora hob with integrated extraction) showed a clear on/off cycle at the lowest heat settings. But maybe tech has improved in recent years, and there are hobs now that have constant low power output?

Maybe the effect also just depends on your cookware? On pots with a heavy bottom with aluminium or copper core you probably won't see the coil patterns and the on/off effect will be less pronounced. If you have a pot with a thin stainless steel bottom, you will definitely see uneven heat, the power from an induction coil is not completely homogenous.
In Arch sudo is (was? I'm on OpenSUSE TW so I can't check) needed for base-devel, not base.

Arch's base is really minimalist, though.

One adult tree captures 25kg per year. One transatlantic flight releases 500kg per passenger. Twenty trees, per person, per flight. Get serious.

IPCC projections for a "good" scenario still depend on magical BECCS processes that don't yet exist., not flue scrubbing, which I think if anything will be away to keep coal plants online for _longer_.

It's still valuable science, but don't get excited until there are major, major advancements in non-flue DAC/CCS.
Plus generally speaking, changing jobs will get you a raise as well.
Arguably it's a better long term strategy - the rest of Europe doesn't really have a way to refill their storage once it's been emptied over winter.
- Making the service look like a legit library instead of clearly saying it's a repository of stolen books. Was confused myself for a while when I first stumbled on it, had to infer from it being too good to be true and doing some due diligence search.

- Various tricks to get the user to give an email (even if not necessary, similar to cookie boxes making "accept everything" very much easier than "only essentials".)

- After some time (download count or delay?) spam emails to try and get some payments out of the punter, again under false pretence.

Not saying it was bad value for money. Possibly not much worse than tricks average legal businesses employ. The point is someone sat down and devised that part of the UX with no other purpose than extract more money from users, by lying to them.
Rust: “Explain GATs Like I'm 5 Years Old”
I sincerely think you are breaking down, actually. This isn't a dig.

> whatever humans that remain are involved are chasing down some jokes about a very silly man in a very silly situation

Fake accounts and impersonating people falls under spam and misinformation. They aren't chasing jokesters for unacceptable humor (respectfully, based on your comments this reads as massive projection) and certainly not limiting this to effort to any one user. You would similarly be banned now for impersonating Kathy Griffin or some trans lady or any of the people you seem to think you are so valiantly defending.

By all means call Elon and Twitter incompetent but you are ascribing a lot of malice hyperbolically. The need for drama and eagerness to make stuff up is simply disturbing. This sort of tantrum would give me pause coming from a small child. I suggest you take a break from twitter/social and practice some self-care, I am not being sarcastic and not trying to insult you.

I promise nobody is out to mess with your favorite @h3h3Productions or even knows who he is. Nobody is ignoring your reports either because they disagree with your politics. It is just a poorly designed and managed app.
From a deeply cynical perspective, everything in the world is a coincidence, it's just that some coincidences happen so often that betting on them becomes useful, so we give them a name: "cause-effect relationship".

I live in Berlin and have a Motorroller, essentially a 50cc Chinese Vespa clone with a 4-stroke motor and about 100 km on a tank. I love it. It is slow but fast enough, in the summer it is invaluable but mainly if one can filter through traffic at lights and park on the sidewalks. Without those advantages it is slower than cars or trains.

I wanted an electric one, but I was afraid of battery longevity, the good ones cost 3x the price, so I thought I'll buy this one and get an electric one next time. Now there are more electric choices, but range is still limited and they are probably more often targeted by thieves.

It remains to be seen whether mine, now 5 years old, will survive till the next summer and whether I'll buy an electric one next time.
I'd really like to see this - but for text generation / completion.

ML generated art is really amazing, and there's so many tools for it being established right now - but it's really hard to find the same for text.

I want to find tools like copilot, copy.ai - but I /really/ want to find self-hosted versions like fauxpilot - but for general / article generation from prompts and sources.
I currently drive an Aprilia scarabeo scooter and over the last 2 years have stopped at my scooter dealer a couple of times. This is Sydney Australia.
Out of the 30 or so scooter in the showroom there are 2 or 3 electric.
I did test drive one a year ago (can't recall the name) but since I have to go uphill in traffic I want to flow with the traffic and not have morning rush crazy drivers overtake me in unsafe ways. The little engine did not cut it. As with all electric vehicles the start is very powerful but the scooter is quickly out of grunt uphill at +50 km/h.
Also, small wheels. With the enormous amount of rain we had here the roads have deteriorated so much that potholes are everywhere and they are deep. So you want larger wheels.

I will keep my eyes open but won't hold my breath. There is no pressure yet from council here as in parent comments mentioned.
> Virtual network for a bunch of jails with nat. I wanted exposed ports on the host machine mapped to a reverse proxy jail that did tls termination before forwarding to other jails on a virtual network (while allowing the jails on the virtual net outgoing internet access).

Jails are old, and there's a wealth of outdated documentation around which makes it confusing when trying to understand how things works.

In case someone else is reading this, it's not different from what Docker does automatically for you.

I typically use vnet (which gives the jail an entire virtualized network stack, something like macvlan?) and either use NAT or bridges for connectivity. NAT for machines with only one public IP (like VPSes) and bridges for homelab setup where I want a more visible setup.

When setting up NAT I just use PF as my firewall, and assign static addresses to each jail.
Howdy, cool tool.

None of this is true.

>That line was first proposed roughly a hundred years ago. It was decided then that the level of complication from utilities and other subway lines made it unreasonably expensive to build.

The utility density under Second Avenue is not any higher than any other avenue. There are very few other neighboring subway lines to contend with (especially when the line was first proposed). In fact, the only other subway tunnels that the actually completed portion of the Second Avenue Subway contends with already had built-in provisions to connect to a future SAS tunnel (63rd Street tunnel, finished in the late 80s).

>Over the years the Second Avenue line was repeatedly proposed and the conclusion was always the same. The level of complication made it completely impractical. The costs of construction would be astronomical.

Other cities with equally complex underground infrastructure (e.g. Paris) manage to complete cut-and-cover subway construction at a fraction of the cost.

>So then it was decided that new tunnel boring technology would make the project pencil out. So the project moved forward. Sure enough, the complications caused costs to explode.

Again, other cities manage to construct deep bore tunnels at a fraction of the cost. For example, Korea is building a deep bore (50m underground) high speed rail line under Seoul (GTX A) with several underground stations at a fraction of the cost of the SAS. This line will carry heavy rail trains at 180 km/h, so it is a considerably more complex undertaking than a regular subway tunnel.

(It’s not just the SAS, by the way; insane construction costs are rampant in the NYC Metropolitan Transit Authority. For example, it cost $30M and took 3 years to build a single staircase: https://www.amny.com/transit/30-million-subway-stairs-times-...)

In Poland you can ride 2/3-wheel AM vehicles (45km/h, commonly unlocked for more) without any license (just registration and insurance), if you were born before 1995. In Finland if born before 1985.

But AM vehicle category don't require pedals, so the pedals seem pointless.
If your local feed is too quiet, slowly microdosing the firehose to curate your personal feed is probably the best approach.

The other is to manually browse other small instances of interest to do that same curation: a bit more involved (& not possible with some private ones) but worthwhile.

Once you've built a small amount of variety you should be able to check out people's boosts & maybe the follower lists on their profiles if you feel you need to further expand.

The market is unable to function normally because of government interference. I expect there is a supplier and a contract somewhere that will give you the spot price. Furthermore the temperature has dropped so I expect demand has increased again so are you really sure you want that contract?

Small electric 'kick scooters' can be easily stored/charged indoors, even if you're in a city centre apartment and need to get it up/down stairs.

That's not so practical to do with an e-bike, and certainly not doable with something like this.

You didn't, others did though, therefore it's a currency.

The same goes for Bitcoin, maybe op didn't use it and therefore doesn't consider it currency, but others did though, therefore it's currency.

Didn't the person in question also use Musk's profile pic?

> overreach

Do that in any forum on the internet, that is, troll using the Mod's name and profile picture, and see what happens. You might be lucky, but if you called your resulting ban an "overreach", it would be your error of judgement.

In this case, the Twitter user clearly was breaking shit on the way out, then celebrated her own antics on the new platform. "Act of protest"? It's generous of you to equate trolling with protesting.

Protesting is usually obvious what the protest is. What was hers about? The $8? Musk in general? It wasn't clear. It wasn't a protest.

I think her banning is a good thing for Twitter. Impersonate someone, bye bye. They want a trusted platform.

I have no skin in this at all. Not American, not a Twitter user, and I object to extreme left and right, but would like to see platforms like reddit and Twitter accommodate all sides. Rather than dwell in the echo chambers they gravitate towards. At least Musk is giving it a shot, if somewhat a messy shot. It's a messy world.
It already has, multiple aluminium smelters have suspended operations for the winter. Other companies affected are e.g. bakeries and a food cannery, which will affect prices of basic foodstuffs - which are already up due to various factors, including the Russian invasion. Bird flu is also a thing, causing chicken and egg prices to soar.
There might be hundreds of millions active users for the big apps, but I have been a part of an active and lively social network (general, not specialised) site with a few thousands users and one could already see powerful network effects emerge. Which is why I think mastodon does not have to dethrone anyone. The only thing that is needed is to acquire enough users that it will be self-sustaining. That would probably need a few million active worldwide users. It's not completely impossible, because right now there are enough people sensitive to one-platform problems, thanks to Zuckerberg and Musk.

If that happens, the big platforms have a big problem.
“Leveraged Buyout”.

Why other investors allow the buyer to assign the debt to the company being bought rather than the buyer alludes me, as I’d assume this weakens the collateral securing the debt.

Great callout. I believe the playbook for Twitter is now crystal clear:

* Bring back Jack Dorsey as the founding luminary

* Have him strike a deal with their ancient rival Facebook for an injection of capital in exchange for embedding Instagram on Twitter

* Watch as the stock price goes vertical (??)

I think the fact that she got upset is very bad. If some one criticizes your project, that's good. That means, you can ask for feedback and either you learn something new or you realise the person that criticized you wasnt that smart.

If you want to see someone fail their entire life, just never let them know what they are doing wrong.

or.. criticize them once, so they dont have to fail again in the future.

This is old news, criticism is the nice thing to do.
"Perfect is enemy of good" is just another name for "make it run first, make it run fast next". It doesn't apply cleanly to everything, but if you have a deadline coming up, an acceptable solution which is gonna be polished in the very next iteration is a good compromise, IMHO.

However, project management loves to mark things as complete, so getting it polished to usual standards is the hardest part.
Internet is a harsh place. But I think after some time one can get used to it.

I used to be (and probably still am to some degree) very sensitive of criticism, both online and in the real world. However, after spending a fair amount of time hanging out in some fairly unmoderated online communities, I think I've developed a somewhat stoic attitude towards any input I get.

In unmoderated online communities, people just say what's on their mind. And sometimes they say hurtful things, and you try to engage them in discussion of why they think so, because you can't stand the thought of someone thinking bad about you. Often they refuse to discuss anyway, and just insult you more instead, leading to endless frustration. After some time you just accept that some people aren't even interested in a discussion, and it's pointless to even try to engage them. They just want to insult for the sake of insulting, and their words and opinions are (should be) meaningless to you. The right way to handle them is to just ignore them. Don't cast pears before swine, and all that jazz.
> On HN, if someone makes low-quality posts, everyone sees it until it gets downvoted into oblivion.

I very, very rarely see that in merely low-quality posts. Those that are actually downvoted enough to be hidden are hidden for good reasons. I am sure you could find a handful, but I have never seen a hidden post about which I regretted it was not visible (I’d be curious to see how many you can find). It usually is proper bullying or racist rants.

Now, stories get flagged regularly because they go against the grain, and there are several of them I wish we could have discussed. But looking at the new stories, the flagging mechanism gets rid of much more spam than unpopular posts.

Anyway, I am not really willing to buy that without some statistics.

> As a result, behavior which might be a red flag on one forum may just be part of the ecosystem in another forum.

That is certainly true. But I find HN to be on the good side in that respect. Much better than the anything goes of *chan, the constant shitposting of mainstream subreddits (though there are some subreddits I love with great communities), or the constant passive aggressiveness of ./ and el reg (at least when I frequented those; I never looked back after leaving). Ars is nice as well, but a huge troll magnet.
