Oh I see what you mean. So the parent poster is saying that if some router gets compromised, then it can perform a MITM against its clients, faking the CAA record of some website which would trick the clients into believing the correct CA for that website is different from the real one.

Indeed, that would be a problem with the CAA approach, currently. To be immune against that attack, clients would either need to 1) use DNS-over-HTTPS, 2) use DNS-over-TLS or 3) perform DNSSEC validation of the CAA record.

Either 1, 2 or 3 would be enough to thwart the attack, but of course, it would be better if they did either (1 and 3) or (2 and 3).
So basically that would mean a cloudflare for P2P, though maintaining data privacy at least.

It’s better than no P2P but IPv6 solves exhaustion and NAT without the performance hit or protocol limitations and with no extra third party intermediary in the way.

BTW this maintains data privacy but you can still tell a whole whole lot from metadata.

On the flip side it would prevent the kind of “griefing” with DDOS that happens every once in a while with self hosted and P2P things. It’s not that common unless you are engaging with certain communities but it is an inherent Internet architectural flaw that this kind of works around (at a cost).

Democratic U.S. senators accuse Musk of undermining Twitter, urge FTC probe
Looks like EM is riven between "make Twitter an open platform for all opinions" and "burn Twitter down". Both good aims, but a mixed strategy does not lead anywhere good.
Love the JetBrains model. Another viable option is "moderately priced one time purchase that includes free updates to the core product forever". This seems to be working fine for FL Studio over the last 20+ years. I think three of the reasons it works for them are:

* feels like a great deal and so produces word of mouth that leads to extra unit sales. Anecdotally, I have definitely observed/experienced this personally

* indie musicians are (probably??) relatively easygoing & forgiving as far as desktop software customers go, meaning that long term support costs prob take a relatively small chunk out of the one time payment

* there is a steady stream of relevant and compelling but completely optional upsells to drive further revenue, in the form of (both in-house and third party) plugins and sample packs

It's entirely obvious to me! As I wrote at greater length here[0] - I am not advocating for banning words! I am asking for a recognition that certain forms of speech have certain impacts on the listener, and that by using them you are signalling yourself as "someone who has made the choice that that form of speech is more important than the possible impact". I'm not saying "never take that risk", I'm saying "recognize that it exists, and factor it into your choice of speech". If using a particular slur is super-important to you, go ahead and use it! But don't pretend that people are unreasonable for then thinking of you as "someone who is comfortable using slurs" - because, by definition, that is what you have shown yourself to be. And those judgements lie on a continuum - and each person will be comfortable with existing at different points on that continuum. _This is not policing or enforcement_ - it's just how social signalling works. You choose how you want to be perceived.

I'd be willing to work "hardcore" if there were enough reward, ie a huge raise and lots of equity in the new company. I have a feeling if I asked him what it would be, he would fire me though. There's no point in working for a mercurial boss like that. No ability to freely speak your mind is a complete waste of everyone's time.
It's how to murder morale, demotivate people, and force high-performers out. There's no such thing as "creative destruction" when it comes to leadership or teams. And so there's no salvaging EM's or Twitter's reputation at this point.

He should stick to engineering and let sensible, mature, secure adults run companies.

Spouting off conspiracy theories aren't evidence of anything. Occam's razor would suggest he's more likely to be an arrogant, incompetent manager who's had a few successes here and there but is ultimately out-of-touch with reality and triumphally operating well outside his limited experience.

Autumn Glory apples are the absolute best apples I've ever had. I love it so much more than other apples, but I can't find them anywhere this year! The fact that this site ranks them so low means I can't trust any rankings from it.
You are right that it isn't "just web dev", but at the same time the rest of the statement still holds. There's lots and lots of large-scale (mostly-)web services, and running one certainly isn't that groundbreaking anymore. If you really want to work on one, it doesn't have to be Twitter.
I agree that it's wrong to penalize these topics. I don't normally get caught up in the drama of the day, but this trainwreck has really gotten my attention. Whatever the outcome, these events are going to have a major effect on our industry and the broader economy. The reckless absurdity of it all makes it even more newsworthy; major developments have been happening almost daily.

It doesn't hurt that this episode has brought some friends around to agreeing with my dismal view of Elon :)

Extreme commitment makes sense if you believe in the mission. Such as saving the planet with EVs. Not sure what Twitter's altruistic mission is. Giving up family life to enable trolls may not seen like a good trade.

I mean, it's tangentially related, sure. It's also related to ML because computers run ML algorithms and computers run programs with stacks.

Causal and correlational evidence on digital media and democracy
> What's most surprising it seems he has no thesis for the company or how it can be made better or what was so terrible about it.

I believe the thesis is he thinks it's possible to duplicate WeChat as a ubiquitous everything-app (news, media, social media, payments, ordering in restaurants, shopping, messaging) in the West. Why someone would believe that, I don't know. I imagine thinking you could also be the owner of it might motivate believing it can happen somewhat.

I suppose the other thesis is that Twitter was horribly mismanaged and can work on far fewer resources to do more if he runs it like Space X or Tesla. That seems plausible to me though in this case it's beyond me why he thinks the actions he's taken will get him there.
His last name is unique as well, and would generally by how e.g a news org would refer to him. I still get the sense there is a certain type of post that uses the first name exclusively, either (maybe less now) a tech-bro-type implying familiarity, or now an outraged tech-adjacent type wanting to mildly show their superiority. Ymmv, it's just the impression I get, especially if you look at the content of posts that refer to him this way

I've seen people routinely feign outrage over people not addressed as "Dr" (which as someone with a PhD I think is ridiculous) - even though it's clearly a minor thing, I think people seem fine trying to subtly disrespect Musk through how he's addressed

I don’t think so. I think although Elon is poorly managing Twitter. What we are seeing is how poorly managed Twitter was behind closed doors. Years of technical debt and no movement or improvements. Sounds like people were just getting over paid and producing very little. Atleast that’s what it seems like from all the ex employees ranting on Twitter about being fired.

+1. Musk needs to offer a compelling vision for what this platform should be. As of now I primarily know Twitter as the home of cancel culture, whiny journalists, and idiotic flame wars. That's not something I would devote 80+ hours a week of my life to, not by a long shot.

Simple. Offer both. Sell perpetual license that gives you 1 year worth of upgrades and offer subscriptions as well. Then each customer can choose whatever they like.

Personally for me I consider subscriptions a plague and unless there is absolutely no choice / substitution (which is luckily not the case yet) I would never pay subscription. Only perpetual license, though I do buy upgrades as well when I feel it's worthy.

Obviously excluded from the rule are services where subscription is a natural choice. Netflix for example.

> Going "hardcore" on things can be fun, at the right time in your life, for the right reasons, with the right people.

This is a death march - no question about it. The book by Edward Yourdon should be required reading for any who are still at Twitter.

One of the things that is in the book had in it that I recall was a four quadrant grid of 'morale' and 'likelihood of success'(?).

There are indeed high morale high chance of success death marches - and they can be fun to be on. The "we will get this done and it will be glorious" type things.

There are also the low morale high chance of success that just drag on and it is a "we will get this done, and then we will all quit." I've been on that one - it was awful. I can only imagine the low morale low chance ones being completely dreadful and people hoping that it gets canceled before too much longer.

Amazon says that I got a copy of this on August 11th, 2012... and that was an order in which the book I got was given to my manager at the time. The project rolled out in October (before Black Friday code freezes went in effect) and I started looking for new employment in January after the company did its yearly bonuses.
And… is there even a future liquidity event planned? How helpful is an RSU if there’s no opportunity to turn it into cash at some future date?
Evolution of Narcissism: Why We're Overconfident, and Why It Works
> So Elon paid $44B for a company now with 900-odd employees. For a 10-year ROI, that's $4.4B per year profit, or $440 million/per employee.

Your math is off. $4.4B per year profit / 1000 employees = $4.4M per year profit per employee.

As Ukrainian, must say, Soviets, like ANY totalitarian system, once totally broke closed loop tie with reality, and build defense against fictional creatures.

To recap this (briefly), in the month or so since Twitter was forced to acquire Twitter after impulsively agreeing to acquire it, Elon has:

1. Fired all the contractors (~40% of staff)

2. Laid off fairly arbitrarily laid off half of the FTEs;

3. Tried to hire back some of those laid off as it became apparent many of these people were necessary;

4. Tried to help cover the $1 billion/year interest payments for purchasing Twitter (a business already losing moneY) introduced Twitter Blue, a much-ridiculed and poorly-communicated feature for essentially selling verified statu at $8/month;

5. Fired employees who (publicly and privately) criticized these moves;

6. At 2:30am sent out an email that work from home was cancelled as of that day. In 2020, Twitter had previously said WFH was indefinite and had hired employees on a permanent WFH basis. This was later clarified to only apply to those who could reasonably come into the office (without defining what's "reasonable") and failure to do so would be taken as resignation;

7. This was partially rescinded on a case-by-case basis. Apparently managers would be held responsible. If a manager said someone was indidpensable and they weren't or was performing well and they weren't, the manager oculd be fired;

8. Told remaining employees that they would be expected to work longer and harder for the same (or less) pay and they were welcome to leave if they didn't agree to it;

9. Managers would be expected to have 20+ reports and spend 20% or more of their time coding;

10. This week employees were asked to agree to these conditions or accept 3 months pay as severance. Anecodtally somewhere between 50 and 80% of employees have chosen to accept the severance.

11. This has caused panic and frantic attempts to retain key senior technical staff. It is believed many of whom have refused;

12. Fearing some form of retaliation, the offices were today closed. Badges have been disabled and offices locked. Apparently this was so indiscriminate that a bunch of employees got trapped in the parking garage in Sunnyvale because their badges were disabled and the team responsible for activating them had been fired or had quit.

Elon truly is speedrunning this and has been the best evidence thus far that the meritocracy is a lie (which it is).
That's not terribly helpful if someone is trying to decide whether to seek a job that leaves them significantly underemployed. Like, should you stock shelves at Target, or not? If you do, what do you tell people when you apply for a software job?

I think it is true that any employment is better than none when you've been unemployed for a while, but at the same time, it's hard to fake commitment to a job that doesn't use your skills, and hard to sell it to the next person. It's not "nice" even if you can fake it, even though I wouldn't ever judge someone who does what they have to.

My solution is temp agencies and/or volunteering depending on what your finances permit. That way you get some people that like you and will recommend you, and I think it's important not to overestimate how much time it takes - just a few months and you can get fantastic references without a pre-existing network.

Non-profits love volunteers that act like it's a real job, rather than flaky people and students.

Also, hospitals are used to putting volunteers to work, and if you ask, there is probably plenty to do that is administrative and not related to patients, which can be massaged into a resume for any office job. In my experience they treat volunteers almost like real job applicants, which can seem ungrateful, but also can almost be like training wheels to get a person used to employment again.

You might not think you can afford to spend time doing these things and not making a decent income, but that depends on whether just spamming hundreds of resumes will get you a good position in less time, and what kind of certainty you have.

People say "it's a numbers game" but for me, the variance and "unknown unknowns" are too big - if I'm sending out tons of resumes and not getting responses, I have no idea if the probability is very small or zero, because of some factor I'm missing.

Any time I fail three times in a row, I infer some deep analysis and change of course is needed. I'd rather identify a handful of "bricks" that are needed and assemble them one by one.

The barrier to get over is convincing people who don't know you to trust you in a long term relationship, and the solution is building that trust in steps. Realizing you need some patience, but not that much patience.

The underlying concern when hiring anybody who isn't currently employed is - is this person employable at all. So don't get distracted from that being a pre-requisite before any other qualifications are in play.

This was a point of contention for a minute on the radio show- the host was flummoxed as well that the insurance company "valued" the trip higher than what the hospital billed for.

It's possible that the (clearly upset) father on the phone had the story mixed up, but I'm not sure that NY law would allow an estimate for a medical bill to end up being billed at more than double the original estimate. Hell, in my state car repairs can't exceed 10% of the original estimate without approval from the customer. Either way it shakes out, if the story is real the state commissioners are going to have fun with it.

What an incredibly cringe comment. Names are used to reference a person, Elon as a name makes it painstakingly obvious who is being talked about. Mark pointedly does not.

To call someone a loser and dribble about this asinine analysis of familiarity. It is infuriating to read. How I wish you had been born in the middle ages with Lord's and Lady's, you would be happier and so would I for never having to know of your existence.
Are people who still want to argue that Elon isn't destroying Twitter?
