Raegan was a complete walking disgrace. But the media was very kind to him, if you don't investigate carefully what he was doing you'll believe that he was a great president. The only explanation I see is that he was fantastic for the war industry and gave everything the very rich were expecting in terms of fiscal policy.
Because of the prestige and status that comes with it, hardly an unprecedented reason.
I think the question is posed as, for $200k today, maybe with $200k of options (with a strike price likely 4-5x the next expected 409a) in a privately owned company.
People who are using time for astronomical applications will simply have to track the offset if they need to. I'm not sure how that's much more problematic than the current situation.
The biggest issue for me would be remote work.

I think the job would be interesting, and have neat technical challenges that would be fun to reason about.

The inability to work remotely wouldn't necessarily be a deal killer for me, but I would definitely have to be "convinced".

Also, practically speaking, if working remotely wasn't an option, the cost of relocation would be enormous - it would have to be worth it to relocate my whole family to an area that I don't particularly want to move to.
Yes.

Twitter is likely going to try to pivot towards being a crypto driven fintech. If he succeeds in turning Twitter into a P2P payments platform that holds custody of funds you get to be at ground zero in creating a digital bank with millions of users.

The downside is it might fold in a year or so.
Exactly, I don't fully understand this mindset of always inventing new products when there are existing products. I'm more or less happy with their existing products which I do use (mostly gmail, drive, Android and youtube (kinda)). I would be very happy if they just continue to make them better, fix bugs, and slowly innovate inside the existing ones without breaking them too much.
At this point he's just trying to get out of paying severance. If everyone jumps ship before he has to fire them he saves a lot of money.
It could be the last invention of man though. (AGI)
I hate traditional dealerships, I usually would take an entire day off work to do the silly price/trade-in/finance dance because without exception it takes the better part of a day. The cost of using a vacation day (for a SW person) is close to a wash with the overhead cost of Carvana, Vroom, etc. They have much more selection on colors, trims, mileage, etc. than any local dealership and decent used cars have been scarce the past couple years.

With the 7day/100day cushion (100 days or some # miles for mechanical/safety repairs like brakes) I thought they might be losing money because the car had issues which their repair firm had to take care of. Not many local used car lots are going to do that. Maybe they were scooping up less than ideal inventory and its eating away their profits with the repairs.
I would work there if I hadn't already a good job. I have no problem with weird leaders as long as they respect my contract (full remote, subject to German labor laws) and let me decide how my team works (also full remote, contracts modelled on European labor laws).

It would be funny to get an offer like that from Elon.
Why presumably accidental? The article is written in the same style. It's not a styleI care for, but the writer knew what they were doing.
>The problem is that a non-trivial segment of the population does believe it with zealous devotion

Yes, but the diversity statements are not meant to separate the ordained from the masses, it's to ensure that actual heretics (or just those who are not properly accultured to understand what constitutes a transgression of social justice etiquette) are filtered.
> false tweet from a fake-but-blue-checkmarked account

> as staff tried to contact Twitter employees but didn't get a response for hours

I'd be happy to see Eli Lilly send lawyers after Twitter for negligence in recent decisions there.

Maybe also subpoena identifying info of the poster, and start discouraging people who plant false news stories (for market manipulation, amusement, or whatever).
"Within acceptable tolerances" - Nothing has to be perfect, being almost perfect is perfect.

"Don't be yourself, be your best self" - self reflection, focus on the positive. This phrase saved me from becoming an incel.

"If it's worth doing, it's worth doing badly" - Just do the thing

"Jack of all trades, master of none. Far better than a master of one" - The full saying completely changes the meaning.
Web server sounds like exactly the kind of workload that will benefit from moving to the kernel.
I would be pleased to see this happen, but the part of the equation I don't understand is that Musk seems to have unnecessarily alienated many of the firms advertising on Twitter, which is a big hit to revenue if the companies don't come back.
>"ALMA can combine up to 66 antennas, with 1225 baselines, and a maximum distance of 16 kilometres between the antennas. Thus, ALMA has by far the highest resolution available in radio astronomy, up to ten times better than that achieved, at visible wavelengths, by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope. [...] In the case of ALMA, radio waves are combined digitally inside a powerful computer called correlator."

Nice!

Compare the concept of interferometry (putting together a signal from multiple parts from multiple receivers) with that of phased-array beamforming (sending a signal by breaking it up into multiple parts and sending those parts via different transmitters...)

These two ideas would seem to be candidates for being conceptual opposites -- at least to a cursory examination...
From the outside "accounting" might seem quite well defined and narrowly scoped. It's actually a big discipline and in many places quite ill defined.

See here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accounting

Look at the "topics" for example. There is a lot to it. To anyone who knows the field, the statement "you should follow accounting rules" is so vague it's meaningless.
Sign on bonuses are usually contingent on you staying for a certain period, and are paid out in chunks. At least that's how it had been anytime I was offered one.
Please explain it for the rest of the class so we don't all just assume that our differing interpretations are all correct individually. (And personally, I don't have a clue what's being implied but I'm probably just being oblivious).
I may be mixing up my robot arms! I visited the lab around 1995 and saw a smaller robot arm than the one shown in Figure 2 of https://dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1145/166117.166133 .

The big arm from Figure 2 is "an Argonne III Remote Manipulator".

Oddly, I can find no mention of that ARM outside of its use for the NanoManipulator. I did find https://www.ks.uiuc.edu/History/VMD/ (my old haunting grounds!) say:

> Computer scientist Frederick Brooks describes his chance encounter with the man who designed the manipulator as providential. In the 1950s, at Argonne National Laboratory near Chicago, Raymond Goertz and his group developed the ARM, the Argonne Remote Manipulator, a force-feedback device used to manipulate radioactive material in contaminated areas unsafe for humans to enter. Users gripped a device and moved it with their hand, and then signals were transferred to a robotic hand inside the contaminated area, which the users could see through glass. In the late 1960s or early 1970s Brooks met Goertz, the primary developer of the ARM, and Goertz arranged for Brooks to receive a manipulator that was no longer in use. ...

> While trying to use the donated remote manipulator with a computer in the 1970s, Brooks realized that he needed at least a hundred times more computer power than was feasible at the time, and he sidelined his work with the ARM until 1986, the arrival of the VAX computer. ...

Oooh! And you can see a few pictures of a young me in that UIUC link!
Productivity as we currently measure it, yes.

It seems we're trending (hopefully) to a more sustainable future. Consumerism as we know if today may not exist in the near future. If the only thing we care about is producing Food, Housing and Art/Culture; we will have plenty of people.
He did something pretty close early on: https://what-if.xkcd.com/4/

Upping the mass to the sun size would cause some interesting additional wrinkles because now we're talking about being large enough to have "problems" with the pressures in the middle being sufficient to start causing atoms to squish together, but it would take an astronomer to be clear on what happens next. My gut and layman's understanding says you might get a pretty big boom in a couple hundred thousand years or so, because you'd basically be building a sun that would be fairly far along its fuel consumption cycle.
The feature set has been reduced from the days when voice was still it's own company called grand central.

I had more than one phone number but some time after Google came in they said pick one and the rest have to go.
Likely, although that’s not ideal either. Would want to see it in something performant like Go or Rust.
> From a technical aspect, x11 is not sufficient for a modern multitouch display interface (much less anything running at 60hz or higher).

Can you expand on this part? I'm familiar with the arguments on why Wayland is an improvement over X11, but I was not aware of multitouch or high-refresh rate issues.
I used to know multiple people there. One was laid off in the first batch, one quit of their own volition, and one just decided 3 months salary was better than signing the suicide pact.

Even completely ignoring my own evaluation, theirs' are from the belly of the beast, so likely far more accurate than mine.

But if I add mine in, what's the potential upside? An opportunity to impress Elmo, and maybe become a pet engineer like the ones carted in from Tesla? I mean, that's probably a lucrative role, even factoring in the cost of one's self-respect.

But I'm just not wired that way. I'm not deferential to wealth or ego, and expect those above me in the hierarchy to both listen and be worthy of respect. He fails both tests, so it would be utter folly for me to pretend and not what he's looking for.

So, no.
Sounds like you are making a Case against UBI then.

I never said I was for either.. I was saying society needs to pick 1 or other the other not both.
I've had fairly good experience asking how I did at the end of interviews. Of course this is before I know their decision, but it allows me to later correlation what it might have been that caused the rejection. Some people really appreciate it as well.
I have often wondered why rooftop solar does not have some kind of tilting system to aim the panel at the sun more without an expensive and sophisticated tracking system.

You could mount each panel on a swivel that has a spring on one side and a screw drive on the other side. At night when no power is being generated, the spring causes the panel to automatically move so it is pointing at a slight angle (e.g. 15 degrees) to the east. When the sun comes up in the morning and the panel starts generating power, it also activates a very small motor that turns the screw every few minutes to begin a slow tilt toward the west. This continues all day until the sun goes down and the process resets.
I was not expecting Matrix and Urbit to be the two technological focuses of this article.

Glad to see Washington DC has think-tanks who are al least literate in fediverse and P2P technology.

Smart and idiot might not be mutually exclusive. I've known a lot of smart people who can act idiotic in certain circumstances. Elon could be very smart when it comes to engineering... but idiotic when it comes to running Twitter.
Existing equity was converted to cash at $54.20/share, but will still be paid out on the existing vesting schedule. It's a carrot, insofar as it is promised future money, but it's a decaying carrot.

Edit:

Yes, the proportion of total comp that was equity hit about 50% at L7 (Twitter's Staff). L6 (Twitter's Senior) was usually around 40%.
To be frank I have no idea what his opinion of Rust is but if there is a guy who has it in him to make that kind of decision it's Linus. He changed software twice he can do a third time.
>For now, let’s be clear that I hate using them, but for the sake of brevity and ease of understanding I shall continue to use these misguided – and frankly, insidious – labels.
Agreed. It's just that when every team has to own their stuff, usability issues become a bigger problem and afaict the Nix team is not making much progress on usability (to the extent that it seems like they don't care about the organizational use case--as is their prerogative).
If the veil gets broken, is it possible that any of the liability splashes back on the investors. Like Sequoia or a16z?
Lots of important work does not involve hammering away all hours of the night. For example, any work that interfaces with the outside world will be constrained by the availability of people in the outside world. Are advertising clients working at midnight on a Sunday? We've known for many, many years, that hours worked and value delivered do not correlate (which applies in technical roles, too).
Certainly shocking that they are struggling with excess inventory and need to cut jobs.

Why?
Android is first and foremost a data harvesting platform, just like gmail.
It's not conformant to other linux distributions because goggle wanted to control what was run there.
This is even more apparent in studying the evolution of the "app store".
apps are now required to conform to the most recent versions of spytware API in order to be distributed.

Don't worry, you can't escape. Your generation can't get married, or even laid, without an account at a multi-billion dollar corporation.

Best of luck with that...
> Preoccupied with carnal interactions to the exclusion of all else?

I think the poster means that people are already too preoccupied with banning sex to the detriment of everything else. It leads to various perversions like normalization of violence through loopholes in the media. “Fantasy violence” is an amusing term.

Although to be fair, loli and some weird anime stuff generated by AI nowadays is on the opposite end of this spectrum.
Contingency plans have their own contingency plans. Maybe trading companies started talks to stop the market months before your company assigned that task to you, in case of no agreement or a negative one.
That example seems to be about IOMMU, which is also something that software needs to know about in order to use. I guess you were actually referring to features which the software knows about, but have errata?

As another datapoint, I have a machine with VT-x enabled and Windows 98 runs fine. It just doesn't know about the extra features the CPU has (like it also doesn't know about it having more than one core).
OK, so how do I square that up with a request to document programming prowess with screenshots?
I can see that, even if it's weird because Allah, like Yahweh, is presented as infinitely omniscient, omnipresent and omnipotent.
It seems more interesting to me to ask: if you had an offer from Google and from Twitter, which would you take?
How does this dynamic of grace vs forgiveness interact with genuine feelings of guilt?

There are times in life where we (or people around us) fuck up. Genuine remorse occurs and receiving forgiveness can bring closure as it can signal that a relationship with someone is still there.

I think assuming forgiveness is a one-way interaction may be true in some contexts, but not all.
But as of the takeover, RSUs and options are likely being offered valued at the takeover price, while Elon knows the next 409A will likely value the company at ¼ of that.
Nah, you just smear time faster or slower so you never need to "leap".
What if I had a sonic cannon that could blast a house off it's foundations? Is a DDoS attack speech? No. No one argues that in good faith. Stop justifying your conclusions by redefining speech to something else. There are actual, reasonable arguments for the limitations of speech - "speech is actually just any noise and people can play noise really loudly and that can cause hearing damage" is not one of them.
Maemo tried putting a fairly normal distro on a phone and the result wasn't good. Battery life was very short without wakelocks. There was no sandboxing AFAIK. Desktop apps "worked" but were really slow and had tiny UI that required a stylus.
I can answer ignoring everything about the technical situation and his personality.

No.

I value stability and trust. It doesn’t have to be blue-chip level stability. I don’t need to think every idea will be a winner.

The edicts from the top seem to be changing almost hourly. If mental whiplash was a thing, all remaining employees would have it.

Whatever he’s trying to accomplish (and I truly have no idea what it is), there were better ways. If my livelihood depended on his management at this point I’d trust his plan as far as I could throw Twitter’s building.

I’ve been through a dying company. I’ve seen the end. It was nothing like this.

I can’t imagine saying yes for any amount of money.
> If a user engages in trolling, criminal activity, or abuse, they will be identified and ostracized. Furthermore, they will incur a financial loss, as their reputation will be ruined. Thus content moderation problems are addressed without ill-fitting and abusable corporate or government interventions.

I'm sure that won't go wrong or impact certain groups at all.

There's a lot of content on the internet today that I just don't want to see. Coincidentally, while I had a conversation with people about the benefits of intersectionality a Robin DiAngelo follower joined. This person masked themselves as "just asking questions" and then proceeded to do the oddest form of theatrical racism and subsequent victim position seeking I've ever seen. As much as I'd love to "ostracize" this person and never hear of them again, as much as my day would've been far better without knowing people like this exist, I don't think it's right to ostracize people. That's how we got flat Earth to get so big. We mocked, ostracized, and argued them out of common spaces until they created their own. I'd rather flat Earthers and DiAngelo followers find their way back to rational society, not out from it forever.
And yet some people just can’t communicate well with any of their co-workers, and that’s what we’re discussing here.
This is just a web page describing a process that is not an audit of Kraken. If a company isn't audited by a third party who assumes liability for being wrong there are all kinds of things that could blow up.

This web page is also a great example of using financial speak to make it sound like they are doing the things that are considered important in their own special non traditional way-- or really-- without actually doing them. Who wants their account audited? Does your bank do that? I want the bank audited.

I'm all for using the Welsh names, but I don't think it makes sense to remove the English equivalents. Although about 60% of people in Gwynedd speak Welsh, most Welsh people can't and approximately no one who isn't Welsh can.

The Twitter fiasco timing seems to be worth the repost, and looking at the new accounts on Subreply, it seems that it was gaining quite a bit of traction https://subreply.com/people There's even a Derek Sivers account.

I'm barely old enough to have played this and can strongly recommend Bottom of the 9th as a modern take that captures much of the same feel:

https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/166286/bottom-9th

No affiliation, just played it at a game convention some years back and was very impressed—and got a strong nostalgia buzz for dice baseball, which I'd almost forgotten having played at the time. Very solid game design.
This is true, but "contemporary" isn't the right adjective. This is the culture of the moralist left, of the blue cities, of the Coast, of Progressivism as the only moral ideology

In the US, at least, if you engage with conservative culture, with Christians, with rural people, with the people who are tired of "cancel culture," you will still find plenty of grace.

I'm an independent. Over the last few years, it has been entirely Coastal people who have cut me out of their lives for things like saying I think the EcoHealth Alliance might have had something to do with COVID-19. The ones left in my life are the ones that know how to give grace.

Sure, this is anecdotal, but it's cultural commentary.

And to throw a bone and not pick too much on one side of the culture war, the Red areas have their own pathologies. For instance, while they won't necessarily stop talking to you altogether if you do something wrong, but lots of them will spread shit about you all over the community if you do.

Maybe everyone could stand to listen to Christ on this topic, whether or not they believe in him in so many words

I think this would be an exceedingly good time to demand your salary in all cash. I, personally, am baffled by how he thinks he's going to manage to cover the debt service payments - let alone paying down the actual principle. He's essentially going to need to pull an entirely new monetization model out of his ass and the 8/verified isn't actually nearly enough to even put a dent in the debt. Also - forcing cash transfers from SpaceX into Twitter via overpriced ad buys isn't a long term plan as it's probably super illegal.
Elon deserves a lot of credit for Tesla. But now I'm starting to hear the term "Muskmobile" bandied about when people refer to his car. It's not like Tesla is the only game in town anymore either.

In a weird tangent, I've been thinking about the TV Show "Ted Lasso", and why it's so popular lately. Ted Lasso is the exact opposite of Elon Musk, even to a fault. People don't care if Elon succeeds anymore, but they do want Ted Lasso to.
> Also, here's a free pet peeve: it's only a graveyard if it's next to a church. You're welcome!

That's not correct. A graveyard primarily means a cemetary next to a church, but this is not exclusive. A graveyard can be elsewhere and not next to a church.
