Yet we managed to publish papers on myocarditis[1] whose incidence rate is reportedly 1900 (or fewer) cases per 190 million individuals. If you look up the numbers that triggered the concerns and walking back of recommendations, they are quite small. There's much we won't know for a long time, but the idea that we can't detect statistically significant trends of concern, much less large ones, is demonstrably untrue.

That may be touring-specific? I have tons of components on my regular bikes that last well over 5000 miles, including spokes/rims/wheels and saddles (derailleurs, shifters, pedals, cranks). Many tires even last 5000 miles, although not the lightweight racy ones I use.

I would love to hear from Twitter engineers who survived layoffs and aren't actively looking for other jobs right now. What is going on in your head? Are you okay with all the changes Musk is making? Did he fire the "right" people? Do you think you will have stable employment and a reasonable work environment for the next 1-3 years?

The parent comment is acknowledging this. They're also admitting this is true for everyone... not just the people you think are bad drivers (everyone is a bad driver).

Speed traps don't actually enforce/fix this. They just make people unhappy.

If you want a street to feel "safe" for pedestrians, you have to make it feel "unsafe" for drivers, and make them think consciously about how they're driving.

What's "market breaking"?
Nope, I hust don't talk about bicycles in english all that often (well, basically never).

I also find the word "bike" annoying, as it seems to mean both bicycle and motorbike, while in my native language there are entirely separate words with no common root (but funnily enough colloquial term for motorbike is same as "engine")
Google is currently in a lawsuit brought by several states in the US for tracking users without their consent because they continued to track users after people explicitly denied/disabled that tracking. While I did say "leak" in my original response related to Facebook, I think arguing that is a little pedantic since my point was that Google/Meta have a history that Apple does not. Google's history wasn't necessarily with leaking data but moreso collecting and selling data that they told users they weren't collecting/selling.
My issue with Mastodon is deployment. Why do they have all these silly little services doing different tasks? Inevitably someone's going to rewrite it all in Rust and it's going to handle 100x (without even being optimized/load balanced) whatever it's doing right now and it will be as simple as turning on Postgres and launching a binary.

From there people can choose to run external services to further handle load, but right now just to launch a small instance, needing all the crap that comes along with the node.js world sucks.
> The only reason it isn't provided by Google is that Google doesn't want to.

This is basically what I was getting at.
Was his original tweet actually disrespectful? His CEO is openly ridiculing his own company's engineering teams, and he simply said that what Musk said was wrong.

The second tweet had some more sass to it to match the tweet he was responding to, but it also wasn't all that bad. He points out the above in that Musk should be bringing these things up internally rather than publicly belittling his own employees with what appears to be incorrect information.
You seem very angry.

But it would be a better place if people could speak more freely without fear or being fired and without better social safety nets.
Tor sites do all of this still.

I don't advocate for their content but the way they've built things is pretty great.

I've described it as "the 1998 web with better cgi scripts".

Also search engines like marginalia (https://search.marginalia.nu) and teclis (https://teclis.com/) are nice - they essentially filter out pages with advertisements and trackers which is a pretty brilliant way to defeat SEO farms and other low quality content with ulterior motives.

To see their effectiveness give it a challenge. Try queries like "how to lose weight" or heck, "lasagna recipe".

To demonstrate, I just took the time to make two videos for "lasagna recipe" with the network tab of chrome's inspector window open:

google's first result:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ntC5ZcgxyD4

teclis: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GULoL8o6NDA

Along with recipe sites, there's recently been a crop of similar looking tech help sites that basically give w3schools level answers with a bunch of rotating ads based on the hypothesis that users will look at the content, then focus on their work for the next hour or two, keeping the tab open because that's just the common pattern while the ad rotations go on the page.

As far as serving ads go, programming and recipe sites exhibit similar usage patterns. Similar to recipe sites, the answers you came for are interleaved with ads in the hope that people drag their cursor over the banner ad while selecting text from the site or at least keep that part in the viewport open for the duration of the activity. What a lovely feature!

Search has to be driven by axioms of values and purpose because different intents yield different results. There is no silver bullet.

For example, google, bing and yandex's goals are pretty antithetical to mine unless I'm actively trying to buy something. On google, I came for a lasagna recipe and someone tried to sell me car parts and a home mortgage which is fine. Those engines are just a poorly chosen tool for that job.
Presumably intentional? Whether right or wrong on tech that was never a survivable pissing contest

You quoted two statements. For the first, I'm not going to further defend it, see above, it is widely accepted these days.

For the second statement there are two assertions, that the country is mostly vaccinated, and that no herd immunity ever showed up. The country is mostly vaccinated, so I think you must be questioning whether herd immunity showed up.

I do think some amount of immunity showed up, if by immunity you mean spreading a little bit of Covid but not as much as if you had not been vaccinated and were unfortunate enough to get a serious case of it. But I'm not sure that would qualify as "herd immunity".

I had just started fencing in college in the Fall of 1982, and the gear we had was definitely not safe in hindsight. Our coach was scrupulous about safety, but how can you cope with a blade break from carbon steel? Kevlar etc wasn't a thing back then as I recall. The first time we learned flèche was exhilarating, but now seems like we were pushing our luck. And we were a D2 school without a lot of high quality fencers.

I'm not sure I understand the "monsters" bit... But "if a town contributes more to human happiness as a Disneyland" I can speak to.

The people who live in small towns in the mountains in Colorado do want and need work, but they also want and need to be able to live. When there are some tourists, it helps provide work. And the locals typically do different jobs depending on the season.

But when the area becomes "hot", and remote wealthy people start buying up local property, the locals get priced out. It's essentially gentrification on a small scale.

One could argue that the remote wealthy people deserve to have a good life anywhere they go because they can afford it, but it absolutely comes at a cost to local poor people in the areas they travel to.

With proper regulation, you have hotels and formal tourist stay locations which extract taxes that can be used to help ensure the local workers get a decent life while catering to the visitors. But without proper regulation or planning, the locals get priced out of their own towns.

Realize that low wage workers usually cannot just say, "oh well, it's too expensive here now, so we'll move cross country to find affordable housing and jobs".

Airbnb made it worse, because not only is there the traditional gentrification but now also people who own apartments can seek higher rents from tourists than with locals.

It's not about that, it's that you have to think and put a lot of mental energy into "being respectful" rather than just being straight forwards and direct. You have to wait for the right time etc.

Giving feedback has higher risk and cost to it than it would otherwise be so why even do it?

While I'm not claiming it's an immediate crisis, I think it is and will continue to become a net long term loss for corporate American culture.

Musk is now teaching the world you can just fire people for saying anything you don't like without even a phone call, it will only make people more apprehensive to talk more freely.
> I was tricked into having the account at all by a fraudlent and misleading UI built by ebay

They've cut out the middleman and will just trick you directly. I don't have an account but I use it a lot for discogs. Everytime, it goes one of three ways.

1) They have a prechecked "Create Account" option, so that completing the purchase creates an account.

2) They use the classic "big, bold button" dark pattern, so that completing the purchase creates an account.

3) They require creating an account to complete the purchase. I've cancelled orders over this one.

It hasn't even been a progression. I've seen all three recently, and which one I get seems to be a dice roll.
I'm starting to believe he decided it made more sense to mark down the investment to 0 and use the losses against his income for the next few years instead to pay the fine for pulling out of the deal.

I wonder if there’s a severance package for that. Employment suicide by cop.
There's a sizable difference between:

- informed consent at the time of signing an employment (e.g. military, medical) contract with known career conditions

- new conditions (mandates) being added to existing labor contracts, while there is active litigation on the purpose and legality of those conditions, and re-definition of legal language (e.g. CDC's 2021 redefinition of "vaccine") used in mandates

Eh, normally I'd agree, but let's not pretend this is a normal situation. If you parachute into a company as CEO and start publicly insulting all of the professional work that the employees (half of whom he just fired) have done, you can't expect them not to defend themselves and their (former) colleagues.

If they're getting good stock awards to stay, and if they think they can turn Twitter around, then there's a good chance they can make a lot of money.

Now that Twitter is private the stock is going to be a lot less volatile. Work hard. Acquire users. Enter new markets. Valuation improves (once or twice a year). Cash out during a purchase offer.

If I were Elon, I'd be drowning the remaining loyal employees with RSUs.

Thanks. I wouldn't wish what he went through on my worst enemy. He was in the hospital for three months and spend half of that time on a ventilator. After a month COVID isn't contagious anymore and we were allowed us to visit him in the ICU (really visiting his family). I was at the hospital the night he passed away.

I think for a lot of people COVID isn't "real". They don't know anyone who died. Or if they do they were old, and/or it happened in the hospital far away from whatever their personal reality is.

Believe me when I tell you the risk associated with the vaccine is nothing compared to what he went through. I fully believe had he been vaccinated he'd still be here today.

That's the whole point. If you don't like how a community conducts itself you're free to block them as a user, or even as an admin.

> A service like Twitter is much cheaper and easier to run if it does not have to deal with federation on a technical level

We had that, it was called the internet. Everyone went to Twitter, because they want to talk to everyone else without a hundred accounts. We still have that, it's called Mastodon (or pleroma...), you don't have to federate if you don't want to.

You don't have to like it. If you have ideas, implement them. But don't tell the network to change itself because, as someone said once, they were there before you and they'll be there long after you leave.
I feel like charging for SSO is a reasonable request of enterprises when adopting open source software. Most enterprises require SSO as policy (and should). Most enterprises also don't contribute financially to the sustainability of open source software, so this is one way to ensure that happens.

> The reason this policy exists is likely to remove super old liabilities for long-dormant accounts that have been long forgotten about.

That’s exactly what this is. I don’t believe it’s meant to be a money grab towards existing customers (simply because it’s such a bad one). Everything has a lifetime. PayPal by now is full of accounts from dead people, money nobody is ever going to reclaim (even if someone out there has a better claim to it).

This money has to go somewhere, otherwise it’s very literally dormant. In my country (Belgium), the government has tools to let people find and reclaim money they may be owed that is sitting in bank accounts. But something like PayPal is not really able to do this.

With dormant fees, PayPal is able to create a lifetime on accounts with dormant money… they will eventually zero out.

That said, they’re still scum and nobody should use PayPal, ever, for anything. I work in fintech - if you’re using PayPal and need recommendations to replace it, reply with your use case and I’ll respond.

I wrote a rebuttal to this: https://weblog.masukomi.org/2022/11/14/a-rebuttal-to-scaling...

The short short version is that it scales just fine if you use it the way its intended. The protocol provably scales just fine (contrary to his claim), the real problem with scaling is that it violates the core idea that Fediverse server apps (all of them) are written with the idea of serving a community, not hosting the next multi-millon user twitter competitor. There's more to it than that, and there are a lot of straw-man arguments and contradictory claims in that article.
