> While impressive achievements, these achievements do not imply that Musk will be successful at Twitter.

Well, they imply it a lot more than a person with success in zero businesses up to this point
Ok, I can agree with that. Gevent doesn't really add any cognitive overhead or complexity at all. Asyncio sure does, and makes the code hard to read too. Long ago I settled on a stack that includes using gevent for anything that listens on a socket, never regretted it.
How much is the total liability they are guaranteeing?

And $119 billion where exactly? In US treasuries? If so it's about as safe as the social security "fund". What if the "customer issue" includes a govt default?

All you're saying here is that we can treat an FDIC guarantee like a govt guarantee, which is probably true, but still not the same as a case where the guarantor has actual assets which the prior poster was suggesting. The FDIC is making promises and backing those promises with other promises. There's not cash laying around anywhere to back it up. I'm not saying the only response is run for the hills like the other poster, but I find these defenses rather naive. The likelihood of any insurance scheme failing is not zero. Same for a government's finances.
Poland offers something similar, but with a twist. On the plus side, the amount you can buy is unlimited. However, interest rate is fixed in the first year, at 7% (which is a far cry from 17.9% inflation). From the year two the interest rate is inflation rate + 1% premium. You can buy either 4 or 10 year bonds.
The api looks very simple and easy, that's a very good sign.
We've been doing similar stuff in python, mainly in combination with Pulumi automation.

You can do some very fancy things, and I'm sure Dagger would be a nice addition to that. But honestly the thing I'm missing most is a nice UI above all that. How to present realtime and historic logs (and state) for multiple concurrent actions is still not as easy as I think it could be.
> Hiring is expensive, and people can take months to get up to speed on a new role. If too many people quit, he'll have simply wasted money and time.

Yes, he's probably screwed either way. Sucks that others are getting screwed as a result of his choices.
> I guess expecting an employee to do actual work could ruin some ones lifestyle. I've been in a couple of companies now where only a few people "work" and the rest do "other stuff", I would have been happy in both those for someone like Musk to take over.

I can sympathise with this, but that's if anything anticorrelated with coming into the office - the people who work the least are those who make the most effort at being seen.
the nih could decide to do nothing. Dont tell anyone how to eat. People then would eat however.

for anyone who has gone carnivore for more than a month you know how ridiculous this is. They as medical professionals know it as well. So why the disconnect, why the effort to misinform?

If tomorrow everyone switched to meat or nothing. There wouldnt be enough meat to feed the world. A very significant portion of the world would end up in the nothing category.

You make the effort beyond doing nothing and intentionally misinform because convincing people to eat plants is good for the economy.
Coffee shop employees are not Tipped employees. They get minimum wage.

This conflation of actual legally tipped employees (who get a substantially smaller than minimum wage wage) and everyone else is leading to really stupid ideas.
US scripts usually don't include the ocular measurements. I've had a pair where they got the vertical ever so slightly wrong on a progressive, truly horrible, I went back to the eye doc about it and it confounded him also--I could look through the script on his machine and it was fine. He finally figured out what had happened, dialed something into his machine and it was just as awful as the glasses. The optician recut the offending lens, no problem at all. I have no idea how you are even supposed to measure that at home, the opticians always seem to do it on the frame you're actually going to be using. It's not fixed like PD is. (If you're not doing progressive it doesn't have to be spot on, though.)
That's not what "normalising" means. Normalising is just changing the gain of the whole track so the peak level matches your target. And this is obviously what it meant, because if it somehow actually meant dynamic range limiting, we would not see the volume spikes.
When selecting a price for your product, you have three choices:

1. lower than the competition - unfair competition, dumping, predatory pricing

2. same as the competition - collusion, price fixing

3. higher than the competition - gouging, profiteering

All three price points are illegal.
I think one thing to think about is that I'm sure someone with integrity is running a crypto exchange and they genuinely are just running a crypto exchange that works. But those guys aren't creating exponential valuations. We can ground this all in real expectations- the CME group is worth 62Bn market cap, Deutche Borse is worth ~30Bn.

Why, why, why would you think that a niche crypto exchange is worth more than the biggest European exchange? We know what the comparables are people!
Exactly. I worked for Boeing as an intern and the entire industry is like this. It's basically 90% of aerospace, outside of the startups, is like IBM, Oracle. These companies have extraordinary history (facilities from WW2! god damn museums with their products! rise and fall tied with global geopolitics, seeing armed security and international VIP's at the guarded entrances) but will never innovate unless put up against a wall.

At my university, wind tunnels had a black curtain that could be used to conceal the test section contents. During the Cold War, they used it to prevent casual onlookers from witnessing confidential design work for the govt.
France has investigating judges, maybe one of them would have the authority?

Curious. He also wrote the screenplay for Chitty Chitty Bang Bang - another Ian Fleming novel.
I do like the concept. Thanks!
I wouldn't say it's the worst, it's pretty snappy, and have a low energy impact. Reddit's spinner loaders can take forever, and your browser occasionally chokes on all the JavaScript needed for the ghastly SPA experience. Unlike Reddit it works on mobile too.
Yes because it's included. Like taxes and things. But it's there.
Anything related to security should fail safe.

Failure is not lack of rigour, it's from fundamentally flawed architecture.
A bit of an oversimplification, but generally true. Depending on your market, you may love controversial topics as it gives you more niche targeting. It's just that broad consumer brands with the deepest pockets are so diversified that they don't need any particular platform.

There's also an open secret in advertising that most of this money is wasted. Coca-Cola doesn't nearly need all the advertising it gets - but the entire brand advertising industry engages in heavy rent-seeking.

So when Musk says that "activists" ran advertisers off of the platform (despite never being able to run them off of Google, Facebook, etc), I think there may be some truth to it. Most advertisers never found much value on Twitter, and largely only because the admins themselves were proponents of Twitter.

The irony of Musk running the bots off of Twitter is that they consisted entirely of his audience who would have been interested in performance-based advertising.
If you view every employee as interchangeable this makes sense. Clearly that isn't the case.

What ends up happening when you do things like this (ie to accelerate natural attrition) is the best people leave first. So you haven't really solved the problem. You may have made it worse.
Authorized fetch makes it impossible to do this without either scraping the web interface (which some instances turn off (it's one switch in the settings)) or using a followbot which will get you #fediblocked immediately. RE: Search results, instances have a per-user option to add a noindex meta tag to your posts on the web interface.
Allot of how Elon handled the layoffs from what's public doesn't sound ideal. But also idk how many of those people would've had a job at twitter for much longer anyway. We get a post in HN every other day at the moment of x company laying of 1000 of people.
Are you actually comparing a billionaire CEO who's very obviously trying to use Twitter to pump and dump his investment, to a writer selling a book at a normal price for books? I'm not selling any books, and I'll tell you that all of crypto is a giant fraud. The technology is fundamentally useless and the economics are just ponzi scams on top of ponzi scams. There's no reason to try to "both sides" this. All crypto is a negative sum game by design, where the HODLers are expected to absorb all losses while the miners take a cut in fees. It's mathematically impossible for it to be a good investment. There's zero possibilities there. None. This isn't a new thing I'm saying either. We already tried the "print your own money" idea during the free banking era in the 1800s, we've known for that long it's a terrible idea that doesn't work.
The greater risk is probably that your bank will just screw up and lose your stuff:

> an (actual no-foolin' not just political-pejorative) neo-nazi

Could you give me an example from the USA?

> your product is that the ad you just sold is not going to sit [near]

The evolution of personalized feeds makes this less important. It's not Ford gracing a page in NeoNazi's Monthly magazine with their ad, it's your nazi-laden feed that happens to get a truck ad in passing.

> Twitter does content moderation.

Not well. And not usefully. They tended to block speech they don't like and leave worse from their friends. Blocking scams, bots, and actual harm seems to take a backseat to political stunts.

To be useful it will need to be transparent and configurable, and so far Twitter has focused on making it hidden and based on their views, not the users' views.
I've read his adult short stories. Very good. But very different from his kid's novels.
The expensive part of composite aerostructures isn't making them, per se, it's the molds and tooling you have to build first, and you need a lot more of those when contours are constantly changing. (This isn't new though - continously changing contours have been the norm since the first high supersonic wasp-waisted "area rule" fighters and bombers appeared in the 50s and 60s.)

That said, I was working on B-2 aerostructures in the late 80s, and I can tell you that most all the parts on that plane have no symmetry in any direction other than centerline bilateral. My group figured we could save over $10 million each on a single B2 duct, if we could change the bizarre geometry to simplify the scary complex tooling it required. That was enough potential savings to provoke a design review, but the answer came back, "Nope. It has to be that way (we presumed for stealth). Go figure out how to build it..."
The few times I've eaten out at a grocery store has been at a Whole Foods. Their hot food bar and fresh pizza area is nice and they often have a small bar with seating available.

This screams like not having enough resources to take care of the reports.

> After years of its solar business slowing down since acquiring it through taking over SolarCity in 2016, Tesla’s solar division was finally getting some momentum over the last few quarters.

What was the strategic reason for a car company buying a solar power company? The “sustainable energy” connection seems dubious to me (Tesla is a car company).

But I also can’t believe it was mostly to help out his cousins (who founded SolarCity).
[Alt] -> View -> Page Style -> No Style and the thing is quite readable. No scrolling needed, no background. It works without Javascript. All in all it is quite a pleasant experience compared to many 'modern' 'designs'.

Right, I guess it's the part where it will stop working that I'm not aware of :)

But still, in that case I'm not sure why you'd need to mock <PeskyChild>. It's part of what the user is expecting to see, after all. (I used to see unit tests as distinct from integration tests, but really, it's pretty arbitrary where to draw the line around a "unit". If I refactor some lines out of a function/component into a separate file, should that now suddenly have its own unit tests, and be mocked out of its parent?)
Musk Warns Twitter Bankruptcy Possible as Senior Executives Exit

Changes to terms of employment make employees who quit because of them eligible to collect unemployment. It's one of the few reasons workers are eligible for unemployment when they voluntarily quit.
These were buried incredibly deep in my memory, thank you for the reminder
It isn't gatekeeping bullshit. It's a matter of personal preference. Personally, I can't sing for shit. I also listen to a lot of artists that use autotune. I bought melodyne on the day of release when they brought their polyphonic editor back in 2009, and used it for years before that. It doesn't change the fact that autotuned vocals are the vocal equivalent of quantised drums. They're fine, but sometimes I want the option to filter it out from my recommended stream. Sometimes I like hearing microtonal mistakes. I like hearing a missed beat. I want that option. I don't want sterile perfection.

> But the idea that they're not "real vocals" is an attempt at shitty gatekeeping that has no place in music.

I'm not sure whether you see the irony in this statement. You're saying my opinion has no place 'in music'?

> This wannabe arbiter does not get to decide what "real" is or what "art" is.

I never claimed to be the arbiter of what art is. Art is subjective. It's a matter of personal preference. Like not wanting to listen to autotune.

Lastly, you seem really angry. I'm really sorry if anything I've said has upset you.
I've read only the first one, and I would not consider it an "adult" book. I read it as a kid, and its written to be quite readable by kids.

Great book, though.
This is an out of touch comment, not understanding the supply / demand context.

It's not only about layoffs, but not enough absorbing capacity for freshly printed Tech graduates the universities are churning out at the rate expecting previous level of hiring.

Most HN guys demanding work-life balance have seen nothing yet.

This is a great time for Startups and Startup-like firms like Twitter to hire and require 60+ hours workload. There will be fresh graduates from Stanford, MIT, Berkeley who have no choice but to put pressure on existing coasters on various companies
> Burger King

I like this one. Not spotted the new logo in the UK yet, but it would definitely make me less determined to avoid the company's restaurants.

> InstaCart

I'm not really familiar with this company so I don't really have any feelings about the rebrand per se. I do like the new logo, which is clever—but after looking up what it used to look like I can say I prefer the aesthetics of the original.

> Leibniz

Again a brand I'm not familiar with. Fair point about the consistent design system, but again I prefer the original logo.

> New York State Parks.

Again not one I'm familiar with, but here I can say I LOVE the new logo: who can not love it when an organisation makes it so obvious they wish they were Canadian?

> CNET

This one I definitely was familiar with. Hadn't seen the new branding. My reaction is "looks weird; those letters make me feel uncomfortable".

> Midi

WTF. The new logo is cool in and of itself, but this rebranding makes me actively angry:

- The MIDI logo has been used as a symbol to identify connectors for decades. Changing it will cause unnecessary confusion.

- The important feature of MIDI is that it is _digital_, but the new logo is all about _analog_ waveforms.

- It's also stupidly confusing. Literally the first thought that passed through my mind when I saw the new logo is "did the MIDI organisation get bought by Meta??"

> Mojang

I'll give you this one. The new logo is pretty bad, but the original was _awful_.

> DK

I am literally* crying. (* not literally).

> These are some bigger names, but honestly the really interesting stuff is inside smaller companies who don't have to worry so much about legacy.

I think this raises an important point. Smaller companies without much history do not destroy much when they throw their old branding away. Bigger, older companies do.
Twitter security execs quit amid worries that Musk will violate FTC settlement
> What's unclear to me from the article and video is how this can replace e.g. GitHub Actions. Their integration with e.g. PR status checks and the like is a must, of course.

You guessed correctly: Dagger does not replace Github Actions, they are complementary. The Dagger project itself uses Github Actions and Dagger together :)

> Would Dagger just run on top of a `ubuntu-latest` GHA runner?

Sure, you can do that. The only dependency to run Dagger is Docker or any OCI-compatible runtime. So, assuming the `ubuntu-latest` runner has docker installed, you can just execute your Dagger-enabled tool, and it should work out of the box.

For example here's our own github workflow for testing the Python SDK (you can look around for other workflows): https://github.com/dagger/dagger/blob/main/.github/workflows...

Note that the word "dagger" doesn't even appear, since Dagger is embedded as a library (in this case, using the Go SDK). As far as GHA is concerned, it's just executing a regular binary.

> Reminds me of all those people who claim that Trump or Putin are "stupid"

So Russia has all the natural resources you could wish for, economy the size of Italy's, economic crisis, most corruption in human history, and is currently loosing a war fighting a smaller country with weapons made 60 years ago.

Please remind me where is the genius I am missing?
Amazon is good for some consumers (people who value convenient shopping and fast shipping) and bad for others (people who really like independent shops). It’s also good for some employees (people who couldn’t have found a better job elsewhere) and bad for others (people who could have found a better job at a business that got outcompeted by Amazon).

Whether it’s a net positive or negative force is basically too complex a question to answer without resorting to an overarching unfalsifiable ideology like neoliberalism or socialism.

However, rule of law, predictability, and stability are unambiguously good for everyone. Attacking businesses or people on pretexts unrelated to the underlying reason a politician wants to hurt them is a hallmark of corrupt countries.

If we decide as a society to legislate stronger union protections then sure, enforce them against Amazon (and everyone else), but it seems bad for that to motivate selectively enforcing unrelated antitrust laws.
Except

1) Chase doesn't have to show you $0, you'll still see $100.

2) When you decide to spend the money, chances are the seller is also with Chase, then all Chase has to do is show you $0 and the seller +$100

3) If the seller happens to be with another bank, Chase will just go in credit with that other bank for $100. The total of such interbank accounts is around 0 as money flows both ways, and, with a decent margin, within the bank reserve amount.

Fractional-reserve banking works so well with so little "actual" reserve money that some consider it counterfeiting.
If this happens automatically if EDITOR contains the substring "vi" then I'd guess this effects a significant portion of the xterm user base.

I don't think it does, though. This is based only on my rough memory that I used to use nvim and zsh and didn't notice that.
Military aircraft carriers are going to operate in a manner completely different from boats carrying skipping containers, if we're going with this analogy. The number of social media companies Musk had any experience running prior to buying Twitter is 0.
> I keep thinking it'd be much cheaper for Elon to have paid to build an entirely new Twitter that has the features he's looking for.

Two things to counter that idea:

1. Social apps aren't about features, they're about the network effect and the user base. Rebuilding that of Twitter at this stage would have been very hard.

2. Even assuming that was possible, the time it would take to rebuild something like it means guaranteed failure.
> Other platforms like Youtube offer to verify you for authenticity when you reach a certain number of subscribers

Well, if there's one thing to try to commend Musk here for, it's that he's trying to move away from just another "users are the product" business model.
You are giving Musk too much credit. He’s a classic control freak and micromanager, and right now he’s trying to run twitter like 6 person start-up that running low on funds.
This is why in regulated securities markets customer assets must be held in segregated accounts. Corzine, who knew better, ended up with an orange suit for not doing this.
I wonder if this could be solved by a rotating inner cabin that always maintain perpendicular to force of gravity when the plane banks?
If you have to rely on "of course this was written by a <insert a group based on their immutable characteristics>" to make an argument, perhaps the argument doesn't hold as much merit as you think it does.

It is one thing to point out a group based on something like a political affiliation or their socioeconomic status (especially when they are directly relevant to the argument), but another when you go for things that are entirely out of their control, like race/gender/sexual orientation/etc. The former might be relevant, but the latter is wack.
I would doubt the quality.

A few years back my wife bought a pair (single vision) in China for about $30--excellent at the time but they turned out not to be durable. (She had taken a tumble and smashed her pair.)
io_uring will be a fully featured, fully supported transport in Netty 5
Is that why Twitter is suspending accounts that tweet things that hurt Musk's feelings? That sounds like tight content restrictions to me.
This will all be memory holed and never spoken of again
Just google LBO, plenty of site explain that better than me
Go check out Mixer and Facebook's game streaming if you want to see how well buying influencers onto your platform works.

It doesn't. No one's ever made it work. You need users and creators and users are considerably more stubborn than creators.
