But they’re not. Because the checkmark doesn’t mean verified anymore. The moment you could pay for it it lost all meaning.

That’s why they added the “Official” thing, which Elon quickly cancelled. Or uncancelled? I’ve lost track.

We’re going to end up exactly where we were, after everyone departs.

Fixing Twitter Blue to be more useful is a great idea. Making verification more transparent is fine. Adding a badge or something for Twitter Blue people so they can show off is fine.

Making all three things the same? Terrible idea.

I feel like he didn’t understand what verification really was, thinking it was a “you’re cool” vanity mark. And all this is the consequences.

Also the distribution of stars is... weird. I've got a repo with 24k stars (which is still enough for top 500 on github) which took minimal effort and no maintenance - definitely lower than a lot of large software projects which deserve lots of money. Like, I'm next to pipenv and vagrant and making any money distribution based on that would be absurd.

Autres temps, autres moeurs. It's 2022, and high time to retire gendered language in mixed-gender contexts. No "guys", no "guys and gals", no "ladies and gentlemen". Gender is a spectrum, not a binary, and there are plenty of neutral expressions you can use like "beautiful people" or "fellow space travelers". The safety of the marginalized trumps the comfort of the privileged. Those tired of being lectured can deal with the change; those marginalized by erasure of their identity by the very language they speak must fight harder to be included in the face of such erasure,
I agree with your product placement comment. I feel gross when I notice it. I also wonder what happens when Netflix decides it makes way more money on people watching the ads - ie. Google initially calling ads a detriment to search quality but not being able to resist the $. I could see a day when they remove the no-ads plan.
> It's even less so when I would lose adblocking due to Manifest v3

You don't lose adblocking with MV3. I have been using uBlock Origin Lite since it came out and I have not noticed any difference in actual blocking. I like having adblock extension that has significantly less security or privacy exposure, and I like MV3 provides that.

>Wages have been rising but prices have been rising faster, so real wage growth is catastrophically negative. This is far removed from the 1970s-style wage price spiral; apart from the wage and price control debacle of Richard Nixon’s presidency, US real average earnings rose for much of the decade.

I can't tell whether this is serious. If I'm reading this right, the author is saying that today's inflation has not been associated with real wage growth, and is in contrast to the last bout of inflation (ie. the 1970s) which was associated with real wage growth. However, the author also adds "apart from the wage and price control debacle of Richard Nixon’s presidency". In other words, 1970s inflation was associated with wage growth, except the parts where it wasn't associated with wage growth. Well obviously if you hand wave away the data that don't fit your narrative of course you're going to find evidence that you want.

I browsed fred.stlouisfed.org to find some statistics[1][2] to independently evaluate the author's claim. The best I could come up with for wage growth was "Real Median Family Income in the United States". Looking at the two graphs[3], I can't really say the claim is true. It's true that real income ended the inflationary era of 70s/80s higher than it started, but there were also several dips (ie. the parts the author tried to hand wave away). Given that we're only less than a year into this inflationary ear, it seems premature to conclude This Time Is Different.

The only other piece of the data author presents is data from the hotel industry, but given how narrow it is it seems cherrypicked.

> that history should be exactly what you actually did

That gives you the history of exactly what git commits you made, not exactly what you did and how you went about solving the problem though, right? git describes changes to the source.

It seems like you're getting the worst of both worlds, trying to understand how the source changed is much harder when you have peoples' experiments and draft changes and false starts littering the history. And understanding the approach to problem solving and why decisions were made is pretty unsatisfying by digging through that stuff too really. That seems better kept as documentation and/or in the commit logs.

No it doesn't. Life expectancy in the United states is declining. Perhaps labor law has something to do with it.

If someone takes your money without your consent, you typically have recourse through customer service (often works) and the legal system (almost always works, but costly).

Yes. Which is why I won't use Zelle or PayPal with an account connection.

>And this is so true. People have moved from personal computers to laptops and are in the process of moving to phones[2]. Smart watches seem to be a promising device; we'll see if people can put enough functionality into them to obviate the need for a phone.

One of these shifts is not like the other. The laptop can, in principle, do everything the desktop can. The speakers and mousepad are kind of limited, but peripherals erase this barrier too. A phone simply doesn't have the text input rate of a keyboard, which I'm feeling intimately right now as I tap out this comment with my right thumb. Strap a keyboard to the phone, now the screen is too far away. It might as well be a laptop.

You can run a business on laptops. Currently, businesses still use desktops mostly because they're still significantly cheaper at equivalent performance (and maybe harder to steal). But on phones? That's nowhere near practical. The keyboard has yet to be disrupted; voice input is antisocial unless you have your own office.

What happens if 100% of people decide they don't want to be the chump paying for UBI and we all go on UBI? With no one left making money, there's no way for the country to make pay UBI payments.

Using UBI as an argument to eliminate theft crime is like paying terrorists, it doesn't work in the long run; you only end up funding a future, more effective terrorist or criminal who will demand more and more.
> Banks inherently gamble with customers deposits, every loan is a gamble

While there's a ton of nuance here, in the general case it doesn't work how you've implied.

When you take out a mortgage, the bank doesn't take a bunch of money other people have deposited. It's literally created out of thin air and marked as a liability on their balance sheet. This is how the majority of money is created in a fractional reserve banking system.
Again. If the greens are so powerful as to single handedly set the policy of a government whose leader was working for a russian gas company, why is beef, plastic, coal, and driving still a thing? Why did they make a massive investment in gas and cancel large portions of the renewable program? Why is a massive multi trillion dollar industry backed by the militaries of the most powerful countries in the world powerless in the face of a party that can barely hold a few seats?

The reality is the PWR industry is just a bunch of liars, grifters and scammers that came into a cash cow as part of a program to force tax payers to fund weapons programs, and now they're crying because they didn't get to have a turn raping and destroying the planet and forcing every government on the planet to be subservient to Framatome, Urenco and Rosatom. Fossil fuel interests are amplifying their voice because they know every dollar spent on PWRs is a watt of fossil fuels that won't be replaced.

> We'll have such reactors long before we run out of uranium. And once operational, they will be able to use the stored waste from the non breeder reactors as fuel.

The most optimistic programs have breeders just barely producing a surplus in an experimental reactor in the late 2030s. You can't produce 100t of fuel for a PWR in a reactor that produces 30t and needs 28t for itself. PWRs are completely irrelevant for power generation and if your goal is to promote nuclear power rather than grift more money you'd be pushing for completely defunding all of the reactors in construction and planning and putting the money into breeder development.

> and especially if that were combined with next gen nuclear tech got anywhere close to as much funding as solar/wind for deploying generation potential, the technology would have rapidly progressed, and today would dominate energy sources.

It did. It's had trillions of dollars poured into it. Nothing happened. Noone in the nuclear industry wants it to happen because it would end the grift, and no-one in the military or government wants it to happen because any country with one can build bombs. China's probably the only exception because they mostly use their small minority of nuclear reactors for power (with a little bit of geopolitical domination on the side). The similar trillions poured into renewables created working power infrastructure the whole time, and now the cost is approaching the cost of just the steam generator portion.

It's not social media, it's the internet. Whether on Facebook or reddit or Twitter, you can find a group of people who reinforce whatever bad ideas you have. This creates echo chambers wherever you go. If you think the world is flat or run by the illuminati you can find 10000 people to reinforce that belief. But it's also great to be able to find communities for whatever niche hobby you might have , and it's spreading real knowledge faster than ever in history.
As I understand it, Zelle is fully subject to Reg E, and the transfer you are describing was not initiated by the victim. If 30 days have not elapsed, contact Zelle and the bank and tell them that, per Reg E, they must issue a refund. You can escalate to their legal team, to the regulators, and/or to small claims court.

This isn’t Europe where excuses like “the EMV chip says the transaction was valid, so it must be valid” supposedly fly. Reg E has no carveout for “well, we put really expensive locks in the door, but the bad guy came in the window.”
It's a term that accurately describes the relationship between US and Europe. US provides bulk of security for Europe, and in exchange Europe is politically subservient to US.

> That's why bitcode is dead now.

WebAssembly seems alive and well. I'm not sure how similar it is to java bitcode but its the same core idea.

That said, WASM through v8 is ~3x slower than the same code compiled natively. (Some of this might be due to the lack of SIMD in wasm).
I wouldn't be too quick to be down on Elixir. The entire BEAM ecosystem (Erlang, Elixir, Gleam, Luerl, LFE etc) are great! I think one could potentially sneak some Erlang into an Elixir job by building common libraries you want to share with other programming languages across the BEAM.

I don't get the hate for Erlang, either. It's a fun language with a community very willing to help folks out.
In all the tests I've written mocking always sucks. It's not hard, but it becomes a rabbit whole time suck.

My personal goal is to only mock the server and as low as possible or necessary.

I'm fully convinced mocking is a code smell of a bad implementation. It means the abstraction is leaky or too complex and would be better off being broken further down. I also abide by the rule of not exporting or making something public just for the sake of testing it.

Property tests are useful but can be tricky to identify, and a good type system that is well used removes the need for the majority of unit tests. No more, validate this function returns a number, or a string. The compiler will test and guarantee that for you.

Invoke the function under test and assert on its return value. This works in the majority of cases but when you do need to reach for something stronger, JS can do some fun stuff via reflection.

An example.

We want to test a function that consumes an object which is used to make an HTTP fetch call, building the `Request` object from the passed object.

// Of course we mock the fetch function
// or would have a mock server running via something like msw.
// Tests should never require an internet connection to run.

window.fetch = jest.fn().mockResolveValue(new Response());

const config = { url: 'https://myapi.com' };

// Invoke the function under test
await myFunctionThatInvokesFetch(config);

// We can access the mocked fetch function and get the argument with which it was called -
// the built up Request object from the argument passed to the function under test.
const requestObjectUsed = window.fetch.mock.calls[0][0];
const realRequestObject = new Request(requestObjectUsed);

// Validate that if no method is specified in config, we default to a GET request.
expect(realRequestObject.method).toBe('GET');

Lastly, if a function modifies one of its arguments, the function should include that modified value as part of it's return value. The same could be said for having a function invoke other functions. Rather than assert a function is called, have it return something that indicates it was called.

This makes testing a breeze and is also a hint to the invoker that something was done to the thing passed to it.

It would be more accurate to state that consumer demand (as there is a bunch of excess savings sloshing around from Covid) is driving up market-clearing prices. Profit margins don't increase prices.

One of the problems is price point. They are charging $10/month. While increasing the price will certainly decrease the number of users, a much higher price point could select for "power users" that will churn less and pay substantially more. In the long run that could lead to greater revenue.

Of course this depends on how the supply demand curve looks like for their specific business.

> This is open to unfortunate misuse, when Vonnegut’s sweet-natured voice gets ripped out of the context of the fiction and rendered down into fridge-magnet poetry and social media banalities. (Run a Google search for images of his 1965 novel God Bless You, Mr Rosewater and you’ll first find pictures not of the cover or author, but of grotesquely bucolic wall prints bearing a line untimely ripp’d from the book: “God damn it, you’ve got to be kind.”)

Not sure where the author sourced this contempt. The google image search yielded only pictures of the book, but even if it had given the magnets, so what? It's a lovely little anecdote from a great character considering a baptism speech. The full text goes:

“Hello, babies. Welcome to Earth. It’s hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It’s round and wet and crowded. At the outside, babies, you’ve got about a hundred years here. There’s only one rule that I know of, babies — ‘God damn it, you’ve got to be kind.”

Words to live by.

My understanding of what causes the nausea is the render latency. The brain thinks its been poisoned due to our vision and the vestibular system misaligned, and so it triggers nausea to expel the poison.

I am skeptical we can get hardware fast enough such that these systems don't trigger a false positive for all people.
you are clearly an irrational narcissist extremist and have absolutely no common sense. to just state "I'm right, there's plenty of facts" is ridiculous. A paper that explores what might happen is not evidence.

Plenty of rational people are working the problem. The paper you linked said: "There is ample evidence that climate change could become catastrophic.". I have no problem with believing it might go that way either. But you're no a climate scientist and you aren't the judge of what is definitely going to happen.

But you seem to think it's drastic enough to justify and defend killing? That's crazy. I'd rather (maybe) starve in 10 years than see a bunch of extremist bullies taking things into their own hands now. It's a breakdown in society, but not due to any crisis but imagined in your own head (likely in future or not, it hasn't happened).

One of us is brainwashed and we won't agree on who. All I can say is that one side has a reasonable code of ethics and one side is basically anarchy and terrorism. Guess what I won't ever accept - not climate change - but thinking that your motives are ever right enough to overrule right and wrong. That's far more dangerous than putin with nukes, 3 degrees C and china. And it's more dangerous sooner.

Now, if you really do believe all of what you said, instead of chaining yourself to a bridge, how about you quit your 1st world job, get rid of your cars, air conditioning, etc. Get rid of your own carbon footprint which is roughly the size of Ethiopia, crawl in a hole, and wait it out. But don't bug the rest of us. If you are right, you'll inherit what's left of the earth. If you're right it's imminent, so it won't take long. I don't tell you what you should believe. I don't defend the rich either but I do defend everyone's right to live within the law and make decisions on their own - you are not the lawfully elected climate czar.

If that means society might be doomed, so be it. Because if we go your route, it's 100% already gone.
After the student loan bailout, who knows?
Market cap only represents the unrealized, fictional value that presumes the latest price multiplied across every coin. A destruction of say 76% of the market cap in no way means 76% of the value of the instruments used to obtain the BTC was destroyed. That is, it's possible for it to be impossible to ever realize losses anywhere near the market cap.

An example. A thousand people pay $1 for a coin. Then two people pay $1000 for a coin. The market cap is now about a million even though only about $3k USD were traded for the coins. A massive reduction in market cap would give the misleading idea the better part of 1M was destroyed, when in fact there can't be more than $3k in realized losses.
