Twitter could have done what Reddit did. Dorsey just didn't get it and Musk gets it even less. Reddit has been growing slowly, making some very public mistakes along the way but never getting ahead of their skis. I think it's definitely true that Twitter was bloated, but firing half the company on a lark was a pretty stupid plan. They need to cull features, pay down technical debt and reduce costs. They also need to strongly affirm that their moderation policy is to create a platform that is free of abuse and amenable to the most people possible. Not "free speech".

The two smartest people in this business are Yishan Wong and Ellen Pao.
I said realistically. And this decade. Not in some weird scifi scenario where we have enrichment facilities that are 10x more effective and efficient and you have the reprocessed waste before you start.

Tripling generation by adding 600GW is nothing.

8 years.

2TWe net installed by the end of it and producing around 300GWe net of new capacity per year.

Renewables are on track (and 2TW is extremely pessimistic). What's your plan? How much ore? Where is the scale?

Ignore the cost. You gotta demonstrate it's possible before you can gaslight about costs.
>They don't make anything real so in order to feed into the ponzi, they pay celebrities to endorse.

That's not what I read. I read that Brady and his ex-wife invested in FTX.

I wouldn't assume that the celebrities are all in on the joke.
> I had no idea how asymmetrical naval production was in the Pacific theater of WWII until I watched this:

All production was asymmetrical:

> The real measure of Japan as an industrial power in WW2 wasn't it's battleships, so much as it's lack of bulldozers [to, e.g., build airfields].

> A single field in England [see photo] in the summer of 1944 held more Allied earthmoving bulldozer capability than the Japanese built from 1937 - 1945.

I mean he was the one that saddled Twitter with a billion dollars in LBO debt. Most successes and failures have many contributors but this particular spot of trouble Twitter is literally just 100% his own doing.
Could you explain those benefits please?

Please accept my genuine apologies here, I think I must have crossed some wires / be operating under different assumptions / be talking past you somehow.

To clearly state my position, I believe:

a) Publishing a list of sha256(.au phone number) is equivalent to publishing the list in clear

b) We are discussing the set of phone numbers of affected Medibank customers, which could be described in a variety of ways (e.g. bitmap, dumb list, hashed list, bloom / cuckoo / xor filter etc).

c) There is basically nothing efficiency wise you need to think about to provide lookups in a database of phone numbers if you don't care about security. It is "laughably small data". All Australian phone numbers will fit comfortably in an Excel spreadsheet, Sqlite database, greppable text file etc.

Finally: Phone numbers and emails are a little weird. They are PII but the seriousness of their disclosure depends on context. Imagine a publicly posted list of porn purchases or medical conditions by phone number. It has a sort of "casual privacy" about it but is quite transparent to each user's contacts.

Failing to understand the distinction between power and energy doesn't make you seem very credible. And neither does saying failing to understand what a breeder is.

You need fissile material to start a reactor of any kind.

Working breeders with a real closed fuel cycle don't exist but if we pretend they do it's about 5 tonnes per GW. You can't start breeding until they're built and the breeding ratio of proposed designs takes on the order of a decade to fuel another reactor.

How many billions of tonnes of ore do you need to extract the uranium from per year to meet net zero installed power roadmaps? How do you get to 2TW by 2030 to come close to the scale of the renewable roadmap?

This is silly. When your $2000/month doesn't give you $2000/month value for all the stuff it has ... Feel write to write a complete replacement or complain to sales. Complaining isn't an argument, so you prob won't get far there. Now you can also write your own with smaller scope. That's totally legit. But don't write it's Bloomberg like or as expansive. People in the biz know better much better. You know darn well you would not charge 2, 20, 200, or $750/month for a complete replacement you wrote ... Who'd invest knowing the zillions you spent making it and with investors knowing bbg set a higher benchmark with reason?

I sympathise with your feelings. Honestly, I'm tired of it too.

But the invasion hasn't stopped. Most in the Ukraine are surely utterly exhausted from hearing decades of their infrastructure, cities, housing and culture being destroyed on a daily basis. Exhaused from the daily disruption, broken families and the mental and physical impact of having to actively protect themselves or fight against it. But they have to keep living it and fighting against it, daily, right outside their own doors. They don't have a choice.

I am sure most in Russia are equally exhausted by the daily impact on their lives of sanctions, fear of reprucussions for an opinion let alone any attempt at change, by being implicated in actions and conflict they don't agree with or by being effectively forced to personally and physically go to the front lines.

It is exhausting, it is uncomfortable, and that is OK. Globally we need to keep rallying against this fight against Ukraine. But maybe even more importantly, especially if you want to be selfish about it, we need to remember and be uncomfortable so that we're part of avoiding the next conflcit from starting.

For your personal mental wellbeing, if you're overwhelmed which I'm sure you are given the comment, my best piece of personal advice is to try and take a solid break from the news for a while. At a minimum try to avoid the hourly and daily scrolling on social media that exposes you to so much negativity and minimise the time on that to a smaller part of each day or week. It's really hard to do that, but it's the best I've got.
is there a reason we couldn't or shouldn't use existing mail infra and maybe auto-negotiate a protocol upgrade for mastodon servers?
The Co-CEO at FTX gave $24M to Republicans - seems more in line for 'both sides' since Republicans don't currently control any levers of government.

NASA – Managers Give “Go” to Proceed Toward Launch, Countdown Progressing
In the podcast We Have Ways of Making You Talk, James Holland and Al Murray repeatedly make the point that differences in production of weapons, fuel, and everything else (including penicillin) made the outcome of the war inevitable.

A very entertaining podcast, and well worth listening to!
Be careful you're not brain-raped by potential copetitors.
Nitpicking is fine and encouraged, but the engineer himself started the thread by saying, "I have spent ~6yrs working on Twitter for Android and can say this is wrong."

I agree with what you're saying. It was the way Elon made the statement that activated my spidey senses that he was talking out of his ass. Twitter has (had) some of the best engineers in the world.
O'Brien's book of the same name is great. I've been following his commentary through the (most recent) Russian invasion of Ukraine, and it's been impressive. He's been consistently one of the voice saying this wasn't going to go well for Russia because they didn't have the logistics to support their aims.
An LS engine is technically a small block Chevy, an SBC is nicknamed the mouse motor, and I doubt this has done more than general testing.

The guy wanted to get fired, obviously. These people who kamikaze like that are getting free followers, a great story, a ton of inbound job interest, and the pleasure of wasting some of Elon's time (his most valuable and limited resource). If you resign quietly, you get nothing. Makes total sense.
edit: Actually the 13900k isn't that much more power-efficient, it uses 15% more power when fully loaded than 12900k for 43% better MC performance.

For a SC load it's about the same watts for 15% better performance.

But you'd have to be doing a lot at one time to need that kind of MC speed.

Gold is not even keeping track with the S&P500 vs inflation. You're also conflating a savings/checking account with investing. Totally different issues. This is why people really shouldn't listen to random users for financial advice.

The issue isn't Covid vs vaccine heart risks, it's that you're going to get Covid 100% after having the vaccine, so you've essentially doubled your risk. That's the issue.
Going back to the 90s, it wasn’t until I read Mark Nelson’s book on STL that object-oriented programming made sense to me. Part of it also was that the people writing books on C++ back then probably didn’t understand OOP either, so most of the books were essentially talking about C, but with different syntax for comments and I/O. With STL, suddenly the whole concept of OO made sense to me.

When I started picking up functional programming later in my career, it was all so much easier for me to grok, largely because it was stuff I’d wanted to do earlier in other languages but didn’t have the capability in the languages I was using to support it.
i finally got callbacks this year when i pictured someone tossing a yo-yo into an elevator going down a few random floors and rolling out. the elevator leaves but i am still yanking on that yo-yo some random floor.
Post-hoc is right.

First he predicts (pre 2019) that crypto won't amount to anything. This is his true belief. Then in 2020s with crypto mania he gets carried away and writes a bunch of articles saying how it can be great. Now with one exchange failing, he retreats back to his cave of "oh there's nothing here after all".

In some ways, he's just a jpg of the past decades' stock charts -- an interesting compression of the past, but not great at predicting the future.

If he were better, he could do something like pick undervalued growth stocks, or do sector allocation. The equivalent of global macro for technologies. He doesn't do anything close to it, and that tells you all you need to know about the future predictive power of his theories.
It won't hurt her hiring prospects one bit. In the long run, it might even help.
That's an argument on the 'true' side of the ledger for said nihilism. Personally I think it's far too early to tell, with the Internet being so new, and thus far largely dominated by a single historically very singular (polite for 'odd') culture. But justified or not, giving up on genuine trust at any level of society isn't by any definition utopian.
Same principle applies, if you don't like the law, don't join that career.

Very different from mandates being applied to existing jobs previously not subject to mandates.

> It ain't the mandates that are new.

The CDC (re)definition of vaccine is new.

Also the redefinition of pandemic around 2010.
Likewise, most westerners know that the war was mostly between Germany and Soviet Union. The other theatres were conparitively small.

Americans may have given their steel, but Soviets gave their blood.
Moving to Mastodon
He is too arrogant to listen to anyone at Twitter who knows. He's been redpilled into believing the employees are all idiots; it's a major Chesterton's fence moment. Now he's paranoid and untrusting of the remaining engineers, with a company-wide code freeze requiring his personal sign off on any changes. I'll be surprised if the company still exists a year from now.

Ambetter is known to be horrible. Why on earth would you pick them when there are so many options?

I'm standing here with a friend who got full mental health care ($0 copays for almost everything) from "Sharp Health" and didn't even need to use the exchange to get the rate ($600/mo direct retail from Sharp). Kaiser is on the same order of magnitude.

Hell, even straight up Blue Cross/Blue Shield is better than what you picked. Good grief.

> The context shouldn't be what's on the CA exchanges today. It should be what we and others had prior to being forced into ACA. Which was fantastic insurance for the entire family for $650 per month.

Okay, okay, let's refresh your memory:

My mother was widowed and had to buy health insurance at 60. She got lucky and could tap into the PA Teacher's Pension system for a mere $1,100 per month. She paid that for 5 years until Medicare. This was prior to Obmamacare. Where was her $650 plan?

My wife was 35 and had sleep apnea and her cheapest plan that would even cover her was $3,500 per month with an enormous deductible. This was prior to Obamacare.

10+ million people couldn't get coverage. "Excision panels" worked hard to dump you off the rolls the moment you tried to use them.

Okay THAT was the system before Obamacare. Remember now?

What you are pining for was the old "indemnification" system that was due to the extremely strong labor unions. Unfortunately, that went away in the 80s due to the rise of the HMOs and the fact that everybody dumped on the labor unions. Many of us fought against that knowing that the HMOs were picking off the "profitable" people and were eventually going to to collapse the indemnification system--which is precisely what happened. And then the HMOs weren't so profitable once they got those patients and would dump them--which they did.

And THAT was the situation before Obamacare.

Quote from article: Overall, by 1944 the Axis could deploy only a small fraction of their potential military capacity into combat—it was being destroyed in a multi-layered campaign long before it could be used against their enemies. This was the true battlefield of WWII, a massive air-sea super battlefield that stretched for thousands of miles not only of traditional front but of depth and height
While iOS continues to grow, so does iOS development using Flutter :)

I believe that iOS users tend to favor apps with beautiful designs, and Flutter's blank canvas gives developers the ability create expressive and unique UIs. If you're looking for an example check out Wonderous.app

Mostly because individuals don't take CCs. PayPal G&S is some financial fuckery that can give CC like protections to two randos exchanging goods or services ayyy.

The Chief Information Security Officer and Chief of Trust and Safety both resigned in succession on late Wednesday / early Thursday, November 10th.

They're both recognized as industry SMEs outside of Twitter. Ignoring these folks and treating his employees and like hot garbage has burned and diluted Musk's credibility and greatly diminished his brand.
That guy is a bitcoin maxi. BTC Maxis dislike everything in crypto and Web3 that is not bitcoin specifically.

There are plenty of scams in crypto but also tons of useful innovation.

There's also plenty of good resources/newsletters that cover emerging tech in Web3. There is no lack of funding currently and its exciting to see everything being built. Not everything in crypto is a scam.

It’s fairly trivial to survive HN traffic, full stop. I’ve seen the RPS live from several “#1 on homepage” posts with hundreds of comments (let alone upvotes) and as another commenter stated, it’s at most single digit requests per second.

Edit to add:

I’m not judging harshly hobby projects for not surviving it, it was a hobby project after all, but that doesn’t change the fact it’s fairly trivial to handle if you set that as a goal.

People often mistake causality for externality, so much so the outside of Economics circles the two are being conflated. Airbnb can cause rent to go up, but that doesn't make it an externality. An externality is an input that you're using up or an output that you're not paying for.

Businesses and individuals can have all kinds of negative effects on others that are not externalities.

What to include in a web developer portfolio
Perhaps I wasn’t clear, but I think you may have personalized my generalized comment. Let me illustrate my perspective differently.

A person thinks the sky is blue. Then Trump publicly says “the sky is blue”. This person now makes the point to say “the sky is NOT blue” just because Trump agreed with their original opinion. What I find irrational about some people’s reaction to Trump is that they feel compelled to change because Trump might agree with them.
I agree with this. But, the prestigious credibility of andreesen horrowitz, as well as the financial power they wield over tech startups, means nothing will occur. Crypto is great for a VC because it offers liquidity years before traditional startup investments.
