Absolutely. Higher prices for the same goods, plus a stimulus to domestic industry.

Unless you are a savvy technocrat who knows where production bottlenecks are better than the market does, protectionism is just a welfare program at best and a cynical rent-seeking, vote-buying scheme at worst.

Becoming a Successful Open-Source Librarian
To build successful open-source software, you must first plan a solid strategy. In this post, Jaewoong (a.k.a skydoves) introduces his strategies for how he built and maintains successful open-source software.
Yup, the latest IPCC report relies heavily on carbon capture in a lot of the predicted 'limitation' scenarios.

We do not see carbon removal as an excuse to continue polluting or not reduce emissions. It's a "both" situation and we go even further to say we need many different kinds of removal as there isn't a "silver bullet" that will solve decades of burning fossil fuels.

These will involve natural and technological methods to restore a bit of stability to the climate.

The Eight Principles of Good Software
I bet advertisers LOVE this situation. They probably weren't excited about how centralized systems are, which robs them of some of their say and power in the ecosystem. This is an opportunity for them to show what control and influence they have and basically a warning to others not to toy with their demands.
I hope to learn how to use async code more effectively. Coroutines are very interesting. Structured concurrency is very useful in defining understanding concurrency. I wrote a multithreaded userspace scheduler in Java C and Rust which multiplexes lightweight threads over kernel threads. It is a 1:M:N scheduler with 1 scheduler threads M kernel threads and N lightweight threads. This is similar to golang which is P:M:N

I am deeply interested in parallel and asychronous code. I write about it on my journal (link in my profile)

I am curious if anybody has any ideas on how you would build an interpreter that is multithreaded - with each interpreter running in its own thread and sending objects between threads is done without copying or marshalling. I
I think Java does it but I am yet to ask how it does it. Maybe I'll ask Stackoverflow.

I wrote a parallel imaginary assembly interpreter that is backed by an actor framework which can send and receive messages in mailboxes.

Here's some code:

threads 25
<start>
mailbox numbers
mailbox methods
set running 1
set current_thread 0
set received_value 0
set current 1
set increment 1
:while1
while running :end
receive numbers received_value :send
receivecode methods :send :send
:send
add received_value current
addv current_thread 1
modulo current_thread 25
send numbers current_thread increment :while1
sendcode methods current_thread :print
endwhile :while1
jump :end
:print
println current
return
:end

This is 25 threads that each send integers to eachother as fast as they can. The sendcode instruction can cause the other thread to run some code. It can get up to 1.7 million requests per second without the sendcode and receivecode. With method sending it gets ~600,000 requests per second
It's true in a naive sense but the natural gas must also be extracted, refined, transported and the infrastructure to convert it into electricity and to perform the carbon capture must be built.

So yes carbon capture using fossil fuels isn't outright impossible because of physics, but practically speaking it's not real because the rest of the chain lowers the already marginal efficiency.
He is simply doing what he believes is in the shareholders' best interests.

If you bought a company, especially a failing company, it wouldn't be business as usual: you would immediately set policies that make the most sense for your shareholders and increase profits.

And, Musk has a reputation to be a very hard 24x7 worker but also one not bound by a timezone, let alone geographic location, but again it's a lot easier for him to note dedication etc based on who actually shows up to work. This might be an undeserved reputation, but he is clearly "on" texting and tweeting at all hours day-and-night, and he's running multiple successful companies simultaneously, so either he's awesome at delegation or he's working very hard (or both).

(of course, he has other shareholders, but he is clearly the majority shareholder and the one who is completely in control of the board, and thus has the greatest legal responsibility to keep twitter solvent and return value to himself and the other investors.)

No, the cour de cassation is not the equivalent of the supreme court in many ways.

* It doesn't judge the constitutionality of laws. That's the constitutional court.

* It doesn't judge cases related to complaints against the administration. That's for the council of state.

* Its precedents don't bind lower courts, who are free to rule differently.

* In France, judges are explicitly forbidden to write a judgement that seems to hold in a general manner (article 5 of the penal procedure code) - we have a much stricter separation between the legislative and judiciary. They always judge specific cases. This applies to the cour de cassation as well.

It's just not useful to try and compare the US and French legal systems. They're too different.
zip is useful to have as a library function in a Lisp dialect in spite of being easily able to compose it with mapcar and list.

According to leaked email on CNBC, Musk said that Twitter needs 50% of its revenue to be subscriptions in order to surivive:

> That is why the priority over the past ten days has been to develop and launch Twitter Blue Verified subscriptions (huge props to the team!). Without significant subscription revenue, there is a good chance Twitter will not survive the upcoming economic downturn. We need roughly half of our revenue to be subscription.

Is that even remotely feasible? Based on the commentary I've seen, Twitter Blue is going to be a drop in the bucket compared to their total revenue.
Twitter’s new wave of Blue checks is sowing chaos
There always has to be a balance.

Some countries have enacted laws to create an obligation to disclose encryption keys, etc. during criminal investigations in response to new technologies because now everyone has access to encryption methods that are essentially unbreakable without knowing the key. So while people have and should have the right not to incriminate themselves it is also reasonable to ensure that criminal investigations can still be (fairly) carried out... It was much easier when people could only hide their secrets in a safe.

I believe even in the US one may be obligated to disclose keys.

One big question is whether this should require a court order, which implies that the police must convince a judge that this is necessary and useful, or whether (as seems the case here?) the police themselves have that power, which is indeed more contentious.
> I think the parent comment was talking about a loyalty card discount at a supermarket

They are & so is the parent of your post. In the US, it's common for supermarket cashiers to lookup loyalty cards by the customer's phone number. The comment you replied to is saying that the phone number <area-code>-867-5309 is almost always tied to an existing loyalty card. Lots of people just give that phone number if they want the discounts without signing up.

> The note goes on to say that its author, who The Verge knows the identity of but is choosing not to disclose, has “heard Alex Spiro (current head of Legal) say that Elon is willing to take on a huge amount of risk in relation to this company and its users, because ‘Elon puts rockets into space, he’s not afraid of the FTC.’”

> Musk’s new legal department is now asking engineers to “self-certify” compliance with FTC rules and other privacy laws, according to the lawyer’s note and another employee familiar with the matter, who requested anonymity to speak without the company’s permission.

> The employee said this week’s launch of the revamped Twitter Blue subscription disregarded the company’s normal privacy and security review, with a “red team” reviewing potential risks the night before the launch. “The people normally tasked with this stuff were given little notice, little time, and unreasonable to think it [the privacy review] was comprehensive.” None of the red team’s recommendations were implemented before Twitter Blue’s relaunch, the employee said.

I'm from the Pacific Northwest, in the US. I interpreted the post as being about how women wanting equality was somehow a negative.

If the post were framed more like, "Men are unwilling to give up the status and do the labor necessary for gender equality" I'd be more receptive, though even that would be a generalization.

I think the way it was framed, particularly as a generalization about "women" (as if that was somehow a homogenous group) stood out most strongly to me. Combined with the admittedly unclear idea that women want men to take their burdens...

Not related to mechanical engineering, but I always wonder why there is such less discussion of real world product design. It's almost like we take stuff for granted. What type of degree would one need to develop a career designing stuff like lunch tiffin boxes or shoes or the other hundreds of myriad things we use in daily life? So many people seem obsessed with CSS and JS here.

> A lot of lurker-only servers tend to get blocked, too. Some instances check every follow/follow request and block if anything looks off, including "lurker only".

Well, there goes thinking I can always just host my own instance, I probably wouldn't be active enough for their tastes. And it adds another concern to joining a smaller instance, seems like I have to rely on other users to make it look more legit if I don't want to be so centralized. Or are they looking for very strictly, literally "lurker only" instances?
Well it's currently operating at a loss, so if they don't innovate somehow the company is doomed.

That's just consonant mutation[0][1], like how english speakers say "a pencil" but "an umbrella"[2].

Fuck around and find out.....about Kessler syndrome?

(I am being glib, but this is potentially a real problem, see https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/spacexs-starlink-...)
From the article: "FTX Chief Executive Sam Bankman-Fried said in investor meetings this week that Alameda owes FTX about $10 billion, people familiar with the matter said. FTX extended loans to Alameda using money that customers had deposited on the exchange for trading purposes, a decision that Mr. Bankman-Fried described as a poor judgment call, one of the people said."

In the FTX International terms of service ( https://help.ftx.com/hc/article_attachments/9719619779348/FT... ) they say that users have full title, ownership and control of digital assets. They say that the assets are the property of the user, and shall not be loaned to FTX trading, shall not be treated as they belong to FTX trading, and that users control the assets in the account.

So if they did indeed loan out customer deposits, that is just straight up criminal fraud, open and shut. This isn't like some DeFi scheme where they are working around some legal loophole or in the fine print tell you that they will probably lose your money. This is just straight up illegal under the plain vanilla theft and fraud laws of any country. This isn't even a bank run (banks at least tell you they are loaning your deposits out) -- it's a run on a U-Haul self-storage where you find out that they actually sold all the furniture in your storage unit to a pawn shop.
Some people at Twitter have remote work in their employment contract.
> Due to resignations by 3 top execs yesterday, engineers are now likely to have to make sure that their code is compliant with the FTC w.r.t. the 2011 judgement against Twitter.

I think that’s backwards: the resignations by people responsible for compliance were due (among other issues) to the policy change (which they see as violating the order, which would put them personally at risk) that the process would change to engineer self-certification to support the desired velocity of change, the resignations were not the cause of the change.

Also, Twitter apparently has a sworn compliance report due today to the FTC (14 days from the change of ownership.)

That is explicitly untrue. We have labor laws in this country and many others.

Beyond that, all behavior is not reasonable just because it's done with ones own money.
>Yes, WhatsApp seem more complex.

K.

Nobody asked Musk to acquire the company. The only reason it went through is thanks to a long line of court rulings starting with Dodge v. Ford Motor Co. that prioritized shareholder interest over every other stakeholders. You can't expect to practically traumatize a company's culture like this and expect all the "right people" to still stay here and give their 100%.
Speculation and trading are zero sum. The only way people made money on beanie babies was by finding a greater fool to sell to.
The article mentions it. He started doing the arb with $50k of his own money through a bank account another Effective Altruist in Japan helped him set up, then:

> With SBF’s initial $50,000 compounding at 10 percent each day, the next step was to increase the amount of capital. At the time, the total daily volume of crypto trading was on the order of a billion dollars. Figuring he wanted to capture 5 percent of that, SBF went looking for a $50 million loan. Again, he reached out to the EA community. Jaan Tallinn, the cofounder of Skype, put up a good chunk of that initial $50 million.
If it were that binary - yes. But we also need to progress the efficiency of carbon capture. As the linked article states, "economies of scale and efficiency improvements would undoubtedly help" and we can only get there by continuing to develop carbon removal methods.
Oh, I didn't knew about that one. I'll try it, thanks for sharing!

bread and eggs aren’t 100% fungible to everyone. So getting the right ones convenient for everyone will be hard.

Some people are solely focused on the dollar price of eggs and bread and don’t care one cent about other impacts, while some others factor in things like animal welfare or organic ag.

Accounting for the options makes it less cut and dry. Do items get grouped by cost level or by item category? Which gets most prominent placement? Is it consistent across stores? How many options is right for each product category?
Layoffs are always morale-killers. Twitter isn't particularly special in this regard, and if Twitter found a way to lay off 50% within 3 days to a boost of morale to the remaining workforce that would be finally be the one truly innovative accomplishment its done, lol.

Let's say you run a company and you want to reduce staff. Let's also say you want to make an unpopular decision (or multiple unpopular decisions) that you know will drive a certain percentage of your staff to leave the company. Wouldn't it make the most sense to announce those decisions before making layoffs? Let people self select whether they want to stay and work for you and then make your layoffs after to ensure all teams are properly staffed. Instead, Musk has already laid people off to the point that they are trying to hire back people previously laid off and current employees are sleeping in the office. Now he is pushing even more people out the door with no control over what teams will be hurt the hardest.
I'd call it the motte-and-bailey fallacy. They really want the more radical version, but they pretend they mean the less radical version when people oppose them.
