I am sure this Tweet will improve their confidence:

Nov 9 (Reuters) - Elon Musk said in a tweet on Wednesday that he "killed" the new official label for Twitter accounts, on the same day that it began rolling out.

"Please note that Twitter will do lots of dumb things in coming months,"

https://www.reuters.com/technology/elon-musk-says-he-killed-...
> he was unapologetically a hacker

Huh? Like Gates and Musk, he's not even a highly skilled developer, even less a hacker.
"recall" is an overloaded term. the connotation is that theres a serious defect requiring the cars to be sent back to the factory, but often times its just like a firmware update. we should really have two different words for this.

it kind of like in the NFL, "injured reserve" used to mean the player cant play again for the rest of the season. then they changed it to 4 weeks, so now you hear a player "is going on IR" and it's not clear what that actually means.
Rosetta actually did support Altivec. It didn't support G5 input at all though (but likely because that was considered pretty niche, as Apple only released a G5 iMac, a PowerMac, and an XServe, due to the out-of-control power and thermals of the PowerPC 970).
See "Emotional Neglect".

If a kid cannot access and process his emotions, he will eventually lose himself.
It's a curve reflecting income (not wealth) share of a population against a line of perfect equality, which is a 45 degree angle. A low disparity hugs the line and a high disparity hugs the X and Y axis. Gini = A/(A + B) where A is area over the curve and B is the area under the curve. So an increase of 0.1 in the gini number reflects a larger A.

It's not a very good way to measure what it is trying to measure[1].

We'll see, but I think you can ask for some topline numbers and evaluate if it's even worth digging deeper. I'm sure this is not about accounting for a million, or two, or even a hundred.
The counterfeiters can create accounts faster than you can shut them down, which is likely what led them to the next step, asking Amazon to only permit certain vetted resellers.
It only works in places without much snow.

If you need the solar-roof to also support snow load it's way way way too expensive to build.

For places with snow load you either put them on an already strong roof, or on the ground.
How is preventing your competitors from undercutting your price not anti-competitive? It's preventing the one thing that causes competition to lower prices. You're literally explaining how Apple is using this to avoid resellers competing against apple stores.

Besides they're no longer their products, Apple lost ownership of them after they sold them. If someone chooses to resell them that's their business, Apple is not involved in that sale at all. Technology companies have too much control over what people can and can't do with their products as is, let's not give them even more control.

Of course just because it's anticompetitive does not mean that competition is always desirable, with concert tickets for example it's quite clear that competition is hurting more than it helps. Though I find "artists should get a say who can see their concert" much more reasonable than "Apple gets final say over all sales of Apple-manufactured products".
> Firstly, when prices start to drop people stop selling.

Most people who sell their home also buy a new one at the same time. So if those folks remove themselves from the market, it doesn't really change anything as they are decreasing both the supply and demand by an equal amount.

The net balance in supply and demand comes from first time buyers, investors (both buying and selling), immigration vs emigration, and the elderly (moving to care facilities or passing away). Investors have significantly reduced purchases, and as economic conditions deteriorate I expect them to start selling (for example a lot of AirBNB hosts bought at the top of the market and are starting to get nervous as bookings are declining).

Basically, you can have a market with record low inventory and still see significant price decreases if demand is also low. The fact that we have record high employment and inflation and we are still seeing prices either level off or decline is very concerning. If employment starts declining we are certainly going to see a lot more selling pressure.

Phew. I was a bit worried that tab support was going away because the UI in the screenshots with the giant search bar in the top toolbar doesn't seem conducive for it. I'm curious to see how tabs look/work with the new UI.
Looks interesting! I'd suggest expanding your value prop by adding automated input fuzzing (e.g. changing one key in the body of a `application/x-www-form-urlencoded` request until you raise a 5xx). That could help uncover a slew of potential bugs and/or security issues before a real user or an attacker does. It would also help expand your value proposition from simply being a security offering.
I don't do much contract work or deal with the video game industry at all, so I'm wondering was Mick just being overly understanding here about the payment issues? Someone refusing to pay me for work would instantly shut down any work I do with them.

Say I buy some Bitcoin or ETH and send it to FTX.

Do we now know that:

A) FTX were not segregating those client funds;

B) They were speculating with them after SBF said “not even invested in treasuries”;

C) Seperately, they were leveraging up FTT on their balance sheet.

FTT price fall seems to be the catalyst, but this shouldn’t impact segregated client funds unless they are also being used in funky ways, right?

Surely one of the above is bad enough, but all 3 is an astounding abuse of trust no?

I have defended Crypto and even dabbled in the industry for a while, but this is shocking to find one of the blue chip names losing client funds.
This one might be a third type:

"I understand what you want me to do, but why do you think you want me to do this, because I suspect it won't achieve your goals."

On second thought, this might be the first type you mentioned.
There's something fun yet practical about holding onto a solid old computer (or car) that's been upgraded well beyond the original specs. Until this year, my main work machine was a 2009 Mac Pro with dual Xeon x5670s (12 cores total), 24GB RAM, RX580, flashed to 5,1 firmware and OpenCore'd to run the latest macOS. Yes there are beefier versions, but this was good enough.

Got an M1 Mac mini and miss a few things. The Mac Pro connectivity is still important. USB-C accessories are never as reliable. Also hate having to use DisplayLink for >2 monitors.
The Meta layoff has many engineers affected. Probably at least ~2000

I'm aware, but it's just one more thing to carry, keep track of, break, lose, etc.

Except in the case of USB-C headphones, but I like to be able to use my headphones with _any_ device, and not just a USB-C device. Plus, it turns out that headphones like my bluetooth Sony...XM3 or whatever...they _have_ USB-C for charging, but you can't actually use that interface for anything but charging. In fact, they don't even support BT while plugged in.

Plus, given I like to use analog headphones for my PC and home receiver, it's frustrating the way that the ecosystem has been bifurcated according to all these lines. E.g. if the headphones I want to buy are USB-C only, now I need a USB-C -> analog adapter as well in order to plug them into my stereo.
"So, step one, let's see your top-level balance sheet, you know, assets and liabilities."

"Sure, we have a notional $1 billion in a combination of junk bonds that have already crashed to a market value of $25 million and other cryptocurrencies worth another nominally $15 million as long as we never try to actually sell them, and we have $1.4 billion in concrete dollar liabilities."

Numbers completely made up, just to be clear.

You can investigate that until you're blue in your face and apply all the nuance in the world to it, that's never going to make any sense.

Also, I'd say Binance is well aware of the message the speed is sending. I don't think that's a mistake. This sort of signalling in "the metadata" of a message happens all the time. You can decide whether or not you believe it.
Former long-time mobile eng at Meta here: RN is considered by most internally to be hot garbage and very unpleasant to work with.

They have 2 or 3 other React-like internal frameworks that most of the apps are made with. ComponentKit is the main one for the Blue App, and IIRC that's open source.
As a counterargument, git is quite hard, and I see smart engineers make seemingly simple errors frequently. Its documentation is sprawling and verbose, and its UI "porcelain" is frequently terrible.

Did you know you can use `git fetch origin master:master` to update an un-checked out local branch? Go find where that's documented: https://git-scm.com/docs/git-fetch

Spoiler, here's all you get:

> The format of a <refspec> parameter is an optional plus +, followed by the source <src>, followed by a colon :, followed by the destination ref <dst>. The colon can be omitted when <dst> is empty. <src> is typically a ref, but it can also be a fully spelled hex object name.

Just a truckload of jargon. There's thankfully one code sample to give context, but it's at the bottom of the page – nearly 7,000 pixels of scrolling away from the description of it.
What's GFC in this context?
So there is "programming". And then there is software engineer at big cos - "The Job". Programming is about building and I personally feel age is not a barrier. I still code and can crank out a lot of stuff in my personal projects (in multiple languages). I, touch wood, don't see this changing.

The Job. That's a different story. I have witnessed our industry get beseiged by level mania. Follow rubriks for a particular level to get certain ratings and promotions. Programming alone wont help you grow/level up beyond the terminal level. So there is a lot needed in terms of influence, project management, leadership (and the related artifacts to boot) that need to be presented and that to at a very regular cadence (binnual perf reviews). I don't know this is sustainable when not young?
I'm not sure that I buy it either, but I don't think it is out of the realm of possibility that Apple would take more proactive steps than merely waiting to find counterfeits and report them, especially when a marketplace like Amazon is so poorly curated that the counterfeiters will just pop back up again.
In France, if it is flat, there is usually something there you don't want to remove, like buildings, crops, or a forest. It is not like the US where there are huge deserts with plenty of sunlight. Population density is 4 times higher.

I am deeply suspicious of people who claim to have never rebased. I've never met such a person who didn't have absolutely disgusting commits: either (1) no commit body to explain the context of why a chance was made, for patches that clearly needed one, (2) random merge commits in the middle of the actual commits because they don't know any workflow besides merging master into their ongoing dev branch, or (3) massive pull requests (if using a pull request workflow) that touch 30 files and implement way more than just the feature the branch was supposed to be for.

It's also a big sign to me that the person probably rarely if ever actually spelunks through the git log to understand why a certain change was made. Because if one does, they very quickly discover why a workflow involving sane rebasing onto origin/master produces such a better history.

There's times when merge commits are appropriate, but they are few and far between compared to the endless abuses of merge commits by people who don't understand git in the slightest (my definition of "don't understand git" is someone who can't visualize the DAG)

Yes.

I used to work in the animation industry. My friends who are still in it tell me that there is constant pressure from the studios to combine multiple roles into one, without any increase in pay. They've got a strong union so there's a lot of pressure to keep union shops as places with a lot of ways for you to bounce around and spend a year really delving into the fine details of one particular part of the craft, while still being able to afford to live in LA.

I remember bouncing off DOOM Eternal after a couple hours because all its clever new mechanics were oddly anti-fun and puzzly resource management. Like the creators didn't know what made the predecessor special. I was confused and stopped playing a couple hours in.

So I watched the Noclip hoping to understand the design choices better. Marty was disgustingly smug and assured about it all, coming across like a victim for being a misunderstood creative genius. Several times he implied the 2016 breakout hit he was following up on was dull and repetitive.

That helped me understand where it all went wrong. I'm devastated but not surprised that Mick got treated this way. Props to him for choosing to get the word out instead of taking a payoff. I hope there are professional repercussions for Marty.
Reminding ourselves that you asked to be "pointed to some (graphs predicting more than 6 months)":

It is not clear when the image in first result was published, but given that it includes error bars for dates from March 2020 onwards, I would assume this is the result of modelling performed earlier than March 2020. It covers until October 2020.

Result number two is a direct link to this paper:

https://www.imperial.ac.uk/news/196234/covid-19-imperial-res...

It was published in March 2020, and predicts data till March 2021

Result number three is a direct link to this news story (with an ironic headline, given result number 4 below):

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-54831334

It was published in November 2020, and predicts data until July 2021

Result number four is a direct link to this news story:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-53392148

It was published in July 2020, and predicts data until July 2021

This is the garbage that was fed to the UK populace on a daily basis - it was like the "modellers" had taken charge.

Will you accept that graphs predicting more than 6 months of results were in common circulation?
> If China wants to go help itself to a chunk of Siberia, nobody is going to be able to stop it.

As someone with north Chinese parents - this isn't as fantasy as you might think. We refer to eastern Siberia as "the lost country", and most Chinese believe China has a legitimate claim to it.

But beyond historical claims, there is a much much more compelling reason for Chinese expansion into a collapsed Russia, and that is easily visible on Google Maps.

The border is heavily developed on one side and completely undeveloped on the other. .....and China needs space to grow.

The only thing holding China back is the strategic anti-US alliance and Russian nuclear weapons.

If Russia collapses and disarms...
> you can't have both.

Why not? Nothing you wrote suggests that we cannot have both. In fact, Musk bought Tesla, is not an engineer, has no engineering training or education or engineering accomplishments (the code he was writing for the company that became PayPal was notoriously terrible and had to be scrapped). Say what you want about Zuck, but if you plopped him down at a terminal and made him do the job of one of his own senior Devs I bet he would be able to do it. Musk couldn't do the same for any one of his companies in any of the technical positions.

I find it interesting that someone states something like 'you can't it both ways' without thinking it through and while presenting no reasoning for it, and then just leave it there like it is now a rule we must accept.
> but every company in existence does this to some extent

That is untrue.

A/B testing is not the same thing as seeing how bad your users' mental state becomes if you muck with what they read.

Iirc, Amazon prevents you from charging a lower price on a non-Amazon site. It drives up prices across the board and artificially makes non-Amazon retailers seem more expensive than they would be, because Amazon prices often hide part of the shipping costs. There’s no such thing as free shipping after all

It works, until it doesn't. When volume drops, it's possible to harm lots of people who were short like this by pumping to force liquidation and then handling the liquidation and dumping (taking money from every side). It happened during the Luna/Terra crisis. Shorting LUNA was high risk because there were at least some players who burned others frequently on the path down.

Work at a trading firm and we saw the entire thing play out, but we're algorithmic so we weren't set up to take advantage.

Though if you're a small player, there's a lot of opportunity here. Some times, the difference between the price for liquidation and the price you can get somewhere else is high. We saw one dude make a quick $300k through a flash loan. The market isn't fully efficient yet, so this opportunity was available for 10 min before someone took it.

And that is exactly why 15 year rates are lower than 30 year rates. When 30 year rates got to 2.5%, 15 year rates went down to 1.8%.

Is it, though? On paper, I've lost about 35% of my net worth in the recent market downturn, and it hasn't affected my life even the slightest. Maybe it's different if it's your own company and your ego is tied up in the stock price, but some numbers in a brokerage account going down doesn't feel like a "stiff consequence" to me.
It makes a great deal of sense if you get into the wording. Non-original doesn't necessarily mean counterfeit. It could refer to "not sold by Apple or an authorized retailer", i.e. used / refurbs.

I don't think they'd go down that path. Risk of ending up in the pile of corporations who have lost the fight against the law of first sale.
Most people don’t buy products from sites who’s advertising consists of spamming message boards. We are trained to treat such site with suspicion - and rightfully so too given they usually are scams.
It was a maximum of around 1% in a single day and this made Tether fall 2 or 3 percent during LUNA crash. The problem is the selling pressure does not interact linear with price but exponential
People who advocate for firing managers forget (or are too junior to have ever learned) that managers...were once the regular line employees, bu they did well enough at their jobs to get promoted into the positions of managing other employees so that the other employees could also do well in their jobs.

Managers are usually the most competent employees at actually getting shit done, because they have to do their own shit on top of managing what the employees are doing.

It's because the PDF is generated from HTML, and the table expands to take up the width of whatever container you give it, whether that's a portrait container or a landscape container.

Landscape just makes a wider table, with no more or less whitespace than portrait or than a billboard (proportionally, that is).

If the goal is to write line-item level notes in the table, then a "SKU Notes" column can be added and Landscape gives it more horizontal space to exist.

But the first step is to confirm that this is indeed the objective because "just make it landscape" wouldn't achieve anything on its own.
