It's been a week or two, hasn't it? How is that possibly long enough to arrive at a judgement. Twitter under Elon is just getting started and there are no quantifiable results yet. Reaching a conclusion now, before there is any real data, is unreasonable.

Suppose shedding 4k employees saves about a billion dollars a year, and the increased attention and activity brings in more users, and the increased users attract more advertisers? If Twitter Blue reaches 10 million subscribers there is another billion in revenue - and maybe more if you can more profitably sell ads targeted to people who pay for Twitter.

Again, I am not saying the above is what I think will happen. I genuinely have no idea. I'm saying the above seems at least like a plausible path that is still open to Twitter becoming stable and/or profitable. It's also possible that the chaos and losing so many employees will cause Twitter to break apart and crash - but we haven't seen that yet. Or that the place will become so toxic advertisers will refuse to advertise there and it will never be able to make money and die. Or many other negative possibilities.

It is simply premature to be writing the death certificate for a patient who is still alive and screaming.
I think people are jumping to conclusions by saying that because FTX.us is included in the filing, all user funds are completely gone. Not to say I blame them for thinking the worst, but we'll probably know more once the dust settles.
> Even in the worst case, because a credit card is an abstraction over my bank account, I have the option to refuse to pay and won't lose my shirt or otherwise become despondent.

That may also have unintended consequences for victims of credit card insecurity.

Why not? Cryptocurrency advocates know a lot more about it than most people (for good and bad reasons).
Here's a suggestion, port it to run in the browser. Free parallelism, because every user brings their own hardware :) So it scales infinitely, for free.
Yes, and the war has exacerbated, hence why I said a combination. The war, the supply chain, increased savings, government payments, corporate attitude. All of them have contributed, the supply chain, the war, and corporate attitude have contributed the most.
There was less discussion about the second amendment itself because it was so linked to the militias in common understanding. Early American cities and states had laws restricting storage, banning concealed carry, requiring registration and/or taxation, etc. One really important thing to keep in mind is the distinction between what a rich, white property owner could do (i.e. not only own guns but be expected to furnish supplies for the militia in which they were likely an officer) and what, say, a poor or black person was allowed to do even though they were ostensibly equal under the law.

I'm not saying there wasn't plenty of allowed activities but that the concept of this being an unrestricted right goes back to roughly the second half of the previous century.
> Any good reasons why we should reject this proposal?

No idea here. The 1 MW charging claim feels weird since faster charging was definitely a touted benefit of CCS in the recent past. I'm not sure if something changed.

To me, it doesn't really matter one way or another. The CCS connector is bulky, but so is a gas station nozzle and I've never had a problem using one of those. Plus you'll use the CCS connector less often since most charging is done at home with a connector comparable to the NACS one. I'd probably lean towards CCS because it's effectively the same as international standards, it's already the standard, and separating the AC and DC pins probably simplifies engineering on the car side but I don't actually care as long as we all use one connector with an open spec.
> emblematic of many of the problems the US faces - "it's too hard to fix $problem_with_well_known_solution because of entrenched interests, so let's create this absolutely awful parallel system that creates a whole new world of entrenched interests who will in turn block any innovation".

This is what happens when you build a country with a disproportionate number of the sort of people who are willing to say "Fuck it. Building a decent living in my home country is too hard. I'm going to cross an ocean in a steam ship and start a new life on a new continent where I am a complete stranger."

I say this as an American who has made similar choices of questionable wisdom.
No, she did not. I gather it was a source of occasional irritation.

There are other stablecoins than Tether. And also, if you don't have any other options, what exactly you are selling USDT for? You must get something in exchange for it, not? So if you think that something is better, why didn't you use it at the first place? I could get it if it was a huge difference - USDT is at 0.50 or something - but if you sell at 0.995 then your preference for USDT was never that strong. For active money trader, it may make sense - if you manage billions, any tiny optimization in risk/reward can yield millions. But if we're talking about retail customer, it makes little sense.
The reason is tooling. The Clion plugin doesn't even do type checking and is a year out of date. The language server has been in progress for five years and is still not done. The VSCode plugin is okay, but refactoring, auto-imports, and autocomplete are nowhere near as easy as other languages like Java in jetbrains products. Not to mention a good debugger.

I hope Jetbrains can prioritize the Clion plugin. It would help a lot.
Nope. They posted a list of patents with a pledge that basically said “We won’t sue you about our patents if you don’t sue us about yours”

The connector patents were on that list but that wasn’t a real spec.
They mentioned sacrificing parts and the camera being wrong. Still, I'd agree about misleading there.

The 3D printing looks like it was for the internals, I don't think that's an "outright lie".

And there's nothing wrong with installing a Cydia hack while saying they "explored renovation schemes" and "the floating plugin is used".
The article mentions the issue of local alternatives, but here is an example of a half dozen "alternatives" to show how truly ridiculous this is:

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/0byerml83ks8dvy/AAAOVqg4is6ytUG76...

The sepulveda transit project will be an underground heavy rail project at the end of the day, unless the metro board is truly corrupt that is, but you have these homeowner groups who must be appeased (1), a monorail company that wants to use the transit construction opportunity to steal from the public purse by offering an objectively worse technology that the public will be saddled with forever (2), and despite all of this 93% of the actual public wants the underground heavy rail anyhow which offers the fastest end to end time (3).

Despite this, LA metro is spending labor and time to come up with and market these alternatives that are complete farces—3 of which are monorail based which serve as appeasement to above groups. Now imagine how much more efficient this could be if they could just build what any engineer would select as the best option (the fastest end to end option), and not have to do six times the planning to appease certain groups anytime they planned to do anything at all? Metro can't even paint a bus lane without this massive community engagement process that only serves to hamstring transit from being most optimal for commuters, to the least likely to piss off car drivers or busybodys looking out their window (4). Oh and this one single bus route was funded by the taxpayer 6 years ago and ground was supposed to be broken 2 years ago. Considering the route was planned even before taxpayer funding was approved, its been probably a decade at least of squawking and politicking and not a drop of paint has been put to the road surface yet.

Prices are not continuous. Stop loss orders are suicide pacts, especially in illiquid markets. They have little to no role in a coherent risk management strategy.

They're primarily marketed to unsophisticated retail traders as providing protection that they can't provide-- something equivalent to a free put.

In fact, some time back their firm was sued for IIRC essentially manipulating markets to trigger traders stop loss orders in order to swallow up trades at unreasonable prices.

Tiny traders in the largest of markets can potentially get away with using stop losses and not get burned too badly too often, but none of the cryptocurrency markets really qualify as that.
The future fund exists solely to pay public servant pensions and even then by it's own account it won't be enough to fund expected liabilities, the average person will never see a cent of it.
On macOS, how is sublime text better than Nova and perhaps Textmate?
Why not look at Packer? I use it quite significantly for creating base VMs.

Provisioner scripts can effectively be broken down from the Dockerfile RUN layers as Bash or Powershell scripts. Then output as a vagrant box or hypervisor VM export VM of choice. For exposing ports, just run an iptables or powershell New-NetFirewallRule.

Whilst you can't get volume mounts can use the file provisioner to embed local files on build.

Then import it and create a default snapshot. Want it back to its original state? Revert snapshot and done!

> The fundamental value of cryptocurrency is being able to self-custody tokens of value

Like dollars under my mattress? Sure, self-custody can be useful sometimes. But (almost) anyone with substantial quantities of "tokens of value" generally appreciates that delegating custody of them to a (regulated and insured) institution provides a lot of both convenience and protection that's difficult to replicate with "self-custody".
The processing in tofu is merely blending of soy beans, filtering and curdling, unless cheese is in the same category for you, I'd say that particular millenia-old foodstuff is not in the same category as Beyond Burgers or hot pockets.
Doesn't seem like it has to be different, right? The Tesla/"NACS" plug supports three-phase.
Not only that, but all of the features Go doesn't have means that you don't have to navigate the "which subset of the language does this project use?" problem. Every project uses pretty much the same language features. Similarly, the code formatter is universal and minimally configurable, so the code formatting looks the same across the ecosystem. Virtually everyone uses the same test runner too. Also, you get documentation (including links to third party and standard library packages!) for free--no need to set up a CI pipeline for publishing documentation packages. Same with package hosting--no need to set up a CI pipeline to publish packages.

There's a ton of this kind of stuff that amounts to a whole lot of productivity that gets overlooked in all of the pennywise-pound-foolish type-system navel-gazing that programmers fixate on.
By the way, that Wasendorf story (Animats’ second link) is quite interesting. He skimmed $200M by forging bank statements and was eventually caught only when the world switched to electronic auditing.

FWIW it's not too difficult to convert a docker image to a VM rootfs. See rootfs_builder[0] for example.

I'm currently working on a wrapper for QEMU that has docker-like semantics for pull/run/start/stop/exec/etc, but it will pull docker images from docker registries and convert them to qcow2 for you and run them in QEMU. It works on Linux and Windows and should run on MacOS and BSD eventually.

You don't necessarily need Coinbase etc, but yes, they do make everything easier. I meant that you still need to trust the miners who have centralized and aren't guaranteed to be trustworthy.
Leverage is and has always been stealing from Peter to pay Paul. People can justify it however they want and do, but the fact remains profit is supposed to be the signal that an operation is a viable going concern. Leverage masks this and trades the long-term for the short-term.

Most companies use leverage so their c-suite can make more while producing less. That's the truth. It's bullshit and should be outlawed. Corporations need to compete based on inputs and outputs.

Labor creates value. Leverage creates a mirage.

"Exploring how to bring these back" What, did they change something in the back end that made sorting videos by channel chronologically impossible? Were there fundamental issues with it? That kind of wording really gets me riled up, feels like such nonsense.

Genuinely though I'd like to know what the reason was for this, I'm sure it isn't anything technical but I'm not even sure what removing this feature accomplishes for them. Another comment suggested it might be to move old videos to less expensive, slow storage. Could it be simple as that?
It's just knowing some basic financial history. Crypto scams are not new kinds of scams. They're mostly scams from the 18th and 19th centuries, with a new paint job. "Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds" (1841), has the first time around for most of these bad ideas. Mass market scams first got going when newspapers appeared. At last, you could reach large numbers suckers at low cost. Before newspapers, scamming was a one-on-one in person thing.

We still have both mass-market and one-on-one scams, but now they can both be done remotely.
There's not much originality. It's mostly the same old scams of a few standard types, sometimes in new packaging.

In industrial automation you are not supposed to do anything at 50Hz, the reasoning is simple: more times than not you are simply turning on and off something that is AC powered and you do that probably with mechanical relays and contactors, quite obviously it is pointless to do that faster than some multiple of AC line period. It is simply about trusting the supplier, certifications and perceived reliability of the thing.

On the other hand even brand name PLC hardware is not that expensive if you factor in the fact that interfacing with 24V and mains-level logic is somewhat complex engineering problem. Relays and optocouplers are expensive.

Edit: and as for what PLCs can do that random MCU cannot: the Chinese Mitsubishi GX/FX clones mentioned in the sibling thread are essentially STM32 eval boards with industrial I/O and preloaded PLC firmware, nothing more, nothing less, so there you go.
although the XKCD meme talks about making a new standard, NACS is already everywhere, tesla is just trying to ensure its ubiquity.
I gain all the advantages of modern medicine etcetera that come from animal research. I'm not blind to that fact. I'm also aware that my empathy levels vary according to the animal in question, which is awful (but true for many/most/all people).

And yet, given the power to make such a decision I'd ban all animal experimentation without question (and I'd include Laika's situation in that).

If it is so vital that an experiment be performed, then a willing human volunteer should be found. If no human is willing to undergo these tortures in the name of science and for the sake of humanity, then the experiment in question is apparently not that vital after all.

In these situations, humans have the choice and humans have the benefit. We should leave other species out of it.
Thanks. This is very much a non-core thing. A useful tool. If it came from a 3rd party, they'd be willing to pay $1000-5000 per year. I'm willing to bet that there are a lot of others also willing to do this.

I believe it is something that would be the basis of a sustainable and profitable business, but instead they are killing it with neglect - because it is a non-core thing.
There’s a lot of tension over politics at the moment, I think people have been letting off steam here the past few days as a result, because I’ve noticed it too.

Good news is that a lot of us know how good the dialogue can be. Instead of despairing, why not jump in and raise the conversation?

OpenMPT is not very "leet" in chiptune screen because it's approachable and easy to use.

In 2012 a new artist named Fearofdark released his first album Motorway and it absolutely blew everyone away. This was a pro-level album made by an apparent beginner.

It soon came out that this wasn't actually even a "chiptune" album made with a proper tracker manipulating a programmable sound generator chip, it was actually made in OpenMPT with chiptune samples. A total noob move.

It was a scandal.

I loved this because it shows if you have true talent, you can use any tool to make a masterpiece. It didn't detract from my enjoyment of the album at all. Maybe even increased it.

Enjoy the original album here: https://archive.org/details/UBI055

No, it's pretentious BS used to make more riskier, assymmetric gambles.
Diminishing returns don't apply for SBF - his life's goal is to fund effective altruist charities, so each billion is as valuable as the last as long as there are good projects to fund.

I don't think people are comprehending how tragic this whole situation is (acknowledging that it's SBF's fault). This collapse put the brakes on a powerful force for good, and lives that would have been saved won't anymore.
I banked with WaMu in 2008. They died. Chase absorbed them. My account balances moved to Chase and were left 100% intact.
LA metro is in a similar bind. They have to go with certain contractors because these contractors have hired all the talent that is qualified to build to LA metros own specifications for designs. They literally can't afford to understand their own specs.

Btw, a great, well known quote from John Kenneth Galbraith (from A Short History of Financial Euphoria) is:

"The world of finance hails the invention of the wheel over and over again, often in a slightly more unstable version. All financial innovation involves in one form or another, the creation of debt secured in greater or lesser adequacy by real assets."

In the 2008 financial crisis, some have paraphrased this as "All financial innovation is leverage dressed up as something different."

A problem with amateur user generated content (which is what I mainly like) is that the uploaders are really shit at describing their post. Sure, describing a picture of a shady copse of trees as 'my favorite place to relax' will look good in an algo feed, but how am I supposed to find that later? Okay I will 'save' the post on reddit but it is saved exactly as it is to a chronological list. Same goes with your twitter likes or whatever.

No, in Europe Tesla originally used the Type 2 connector, which Europe uses for AC charging and includes pins for 3-phase.

The proprietary part was they did pin switching to enable the same connector to do DC Supercharging as well.

Now they have switched to CCS Type 2 in Europe which is the Type 2 connector plus additional pins for DC charging and the CCS communication protocols.
