For older tech users (wow, I'm one of them now, weird), we call these things "Exodus events". There's a variety of reasons for them, but they happen all the time. LUEsers from GameFAQs, Something Awful, 4chan, 8chan, NeoGAF, ResetEra, FreeNode, Libera Chat.

Sometimes the community makes a successful hop on to somewhere else. Sometimes it doesn't (ie: Tumblr after the Verizon takeover).

Honestly, I wouldn't sweat it. It sucks for the Twitter moderator team / engineers, you know the people who made this their life work. But for us users? We can just pickup wherever the community goes and follow them to the new webpage. Its the life of a digital nomad: we "live" on the internet for free, we don't pay hosting costs and often are bad neighbors / cause all sorts of trouble as a community. Eventually our hosts get tired of us and kick us out, and we gotta find new hosts.

Sometimes, the Digital Nomad spends the money / funds / resources needed to startup a new community (ie: NeoGAF -> ResetEra, or FreeNode -> Libera Chat), and the party gets started very quickly. Twitter was a bit more sophisticated than a simple forum though, but if it truly were a "useful" tool, a replacement tool will come out over the next few weeks/months.

Mastodon is of course the most popular OSS tool being discussed. But who knows what the future holds? Maybe we all go back to blogs and RSS feeds, maybe USENET posts to talk to each other. Or go back to Wikis, and just gotta "be nice" and not erase other people's messages ya know? (Back when we used Wikis as shared communication, if anyone remembers the early days). Neocities looks fine (a nice callback to older web-rings / geocities style pages), and so forth. Plenty of options, its just a matter of waiting to see where the crowd moves right now.

--------

Right now, before Twitter gets shutdown, is the time to be experimenting with new web pages and connecting with your community. If you _REALLY_ want your community to stick together, message them, "build lifeboats" (ex: Temporary Discord channel or Facebook groups or Email lists), so that you can call everyone back up. When the community figures out where to go (maybe a good ol' dumb phpBB forum), you announce it to your lifeboat and help coordinate everyone you cared about to the new online home.

Twitter didn't "make" the content. People did. Actors, artists, scientists, etc. etc. Those people still exist, they'll continue to exist after Twitter shuts down, and chances are, those people will continue to want to have an online presence somewhere. Its just a matter of figuring out and coordinating the masses to the new location, wherever it may be.

EDIT: If people really wanted an $8/month thingy, then maybe VPS servers with easy-to-use IndieWeb tools would work. We can do anything we want.
I agree that increasing number of kids isn't the bullet proof argument for better safety nets especially because there are many factors. There are parts of this where it is true for my wife and I. Maybe if child care for a single kid wasn't consistently eating up large chunks of my paycheck for the past 4 years, I would have been less inclined to get a vasectomy after our 2nd. There is also the cultural aspect of, my Wife wants to be both a mother and have career. It is possible, but some fields or companies seem to disincentivize this. And there are many reasons for her to have both. First, she won't be a raising kids forever. Second, if our marriage falls apart or something happens to me, we both believe she should be able to be financially independent.
Want to start a backyard steel-smelting campaign? NIMBYs will block it.

Want to eradicate sparrows who seem to be eating crops? Environmental review will block it.

Want to set up a space launch facility near a village and jettison booster stages over agricultural fields? NIMBYs will block it.

Want to operate a pig farm in a residential neighborhood? NIMBYs will block it.
That really depends on the brand of car / transmission.

Modern cars with the ZF-8 (which is like the number 1 automatic sold currently) are more efficient than their manual counterparts.

Extremely recent example in the USA: https://www.toyota.com/grsupra/2023/features/mpg/2385/2374

Toyota 3.0 Premium MT (6-speed Manual): 19/27/21
Toyota 3.0 Premium AT (8-speed Automatic): 23/31/26

And if you're like: Oh, the EPA's measurement sucks, here's the WLTP counterpart:

3.0 Petrol Twin-scroll turbocharger (335 BHP), 6-speed Manual: 32mpg / 198 g/km CO2
3.0 Petrol Twin-scroll turbocharger (335 BHP), 8-speed Automatic: 34.8mpg / 183 g/km CO2

Automatic has better mpg and less CO2 per distance travelled.
The question with "personal filters" is always "who makes the filters?". Because most users are not going to spend their time meticulously tuning their filter configurations. They'll take whatever defaults and go about their day. Or maybe use some popular community-developed filter configs.

You might argue that the optionality of personal filter tweaking makes all the difference. But in terms of practical impact, it's meaningless. Not enough people are going to take that option to make a difference.

The point is, there will always be a gatekeeper.
A lack of education
Agreed. That's what the J-alert system is for. It sends out your basic "get to cover", "stay covered", "find high ground" type alerts but the NERV bulletins give you quite a bit more useful information on where else is affected and what impact that will have. Also worth noting that NERV supports a mobile app which can give you only the useful subset of notifications.

IMHO J-alert is for the first second and NERV is for the seconds after.
Built a scheduling system used by my organization and several related organizations. Has been in use for a few years, and is the central scheduling system.
SCrypt was thought to be memory hard. It was not, and making asics for it ended up being pretty trivial.
Twitter has historically utilized a wide range of moderation strategies including deranking, post removals, fact checking blurbs, temporary bans, permanent bans and more.
thinking, in the end what had the most impact was not what I built / specified but what I teached - and other built on that knowledge. So the most impactful was a book.
Should either be in jail at all? They aren't a physical threat and anything Elizabeth does now will be watched like a hawk.

Same with SBF.

Just garnish their income for life or until they make their victims whole.
“Theranos, Holmes and former company president Sunny Balwani were charged with fraud by the SEC in 2018”, “Holmes gave birth to her first child on July 10, 2021”.

Wow - that’s some high level not-giving-a-shit about other humans (the kids). Or even more cynical, sociopathically using kids/pregnancy to try to get a reduced sentence?
The two export features I see are individual recipes to PDF, or all of your recipes to JSON. It would be nice if it could make a personal cookbook to PDF!
There are many reasons to incorporate outside of your home country:

1. Clients paying you - it's easier for USA entities to pay to another USA entity

2. Stripe != Stripe Atlas

3. There are ton of unfavorable laws in Croatia and ton of unnecessary bureaucracy to get your money out of your company bank account. For that amount of bureaucracy, I'd need to pay ~130€ - 200€ /mo for an accounting company even if I only had one invoice per month

The list goes on...
The solution for air conditioners ... more solar power.
‘Note that I will be using the term “white” to refer to people of European descent, and the term “black” to describe people of African descent.’

SBF is Jewish. The ‘right kind of white boy‘ is an antisemitic dog whistle.
I understood it to mean "most of the people on this site", and I certainly didn't take it personally.

The irony I understood from the comment is that the metric the commenter suggests should be considered more strongly is how one treats others, and they do so in the same breath as talking down on some group of people, which would probably take a few points off of their value as measured by that metric. The irony, in my mind, does not hinge on whether or not they'd be more valuable than the subjects of their missive but rather on the fact that their actions conflict with their value system.
The biggest thing he can actually do is taking the company private. Until then it's just an ad platform with a goal of delivering shareholder value. Any users that decrease the value of the platform get silenced because they cost money. Yishan Wong made the excellent point that spam is free speech and is rarely hate speech or threats, it's just really annoying. And nobody bats an eye at banning spam.
Suffer how exactly? The kids will have a father outside of prison, two sets of grandparents and several times more money devoted to them than the median American income.

If anything being kept away from the care of their fraudster unapologetic mother would be a boon , not suffering.
With all the focus on EHR and billing, they can't have all the machines taking vitals hooked up and in a ready only state thats sent to the nursing station?

This is the type of stuff I have a gripe with. Sinecure and fiefdoms of power.
Clients had to log into FTX to witness their account balances and history, so it is impossible that the data was never captured or available.
It's not entirely a strawman. The steelman version:

When replacing battle-tested code with newly-written code, you're going to encounter new bugs. Guaranteed.
> I'm confused that they can put a time frame on a problem they have no idea how to solve yet.

You are writing on a developer forum, they work in Agile and ruotinely provide estimates or work to deadlines when business does not even know the requirements of their system, let alone how to build most of it.
If there is a "collective consciousness", Twitter is the lobotomy spike in its frontal lobe.

Mr. Musk has already done humanity a service by shaking a few nuts out of the Twitter tree. They will hopefully go on to help other forums flourish, to the betterment of all. At the very least detaching them from the single source poison propaganda teat will allow a slightly wider variation of crazy in the common discourse than has recently been the case.
The PDF you linked does not contain empirical data on existing solar and wind installations. It's an investment pitch.
Remote Desktop to a virtualized Windows 10 running on VMWare ESXi is what I replaced VMWare Fusion with even before I got this M1. It's unlikely I'll ever upgrade now.
The last time that Mozilla parted ways with Google (in 2014), Yahoo snapped up that spot (if reports are to be believed, for actually more than Google was paying). Yahoo Search may be defunct, but as long as Bing exists, there's an out. Of course, it would be nicer if the existence of megacorp-funded search engines was not an existential prerequisite.
People get less for murder and rape at the state level all the time.
Nvm, that rule only applies to point charges, not rigid objects. So for this, the whole problem is hard.

> Enthusiasts

I'm skeptical that manufacturers will include manual transmissions in EVs that actual people can buy in the future, and this article doesn't really change my mind. Their examples are a $135k Porsche, a $265k custom Bronco, a patent somebody filed, and a concept vehicle. This feels like wishful thinking. Enthusiasts will always keep things "alive", but you could just as easily write an article about how enthusiasts have helped the typewriter survive the computer revolution.
I’d wager bankman-fried is going to disappear, or mysteriously die in India.

Gerry Cotton had far less money on the table and he supposedly died abroad.
<< No they don't, full stop.

Hey now.. are you saying they got kicked out from <platforms>?

Because that would put us halfway there.

I would still disagree with you on a host of other issues, but at least you would admit your initial statement was not accurate ( paraphrased as 'they left to form their own communities').

Also, who made you the authority of who gets to be toxic and who is not? I find you toxic. Do I get to ban you? I don't like your fringe theory on 'fringe conspiracy theories spreading' spreading any further..

Do you see how ridiculous it gets and how fast this argument ends up in absurd situation we are currently in? Do I really need to spell out why it is a really, really bad idea to go down the rabbit hole you suggest?

<< You don't own Twitter,

Musk does. Are you ok with with the toxic rules he imposes?

Again, do you really want to go down this rabbit hole?

late edit:

<< It is a simple fact that these bans are effective at preventing toxic behavior and fringe conspiracy theories from spreading.

It is, at best, an assertion. You don't believe me? Look at Biden's laptop saga. The downright moronic attempts to shut it down in this panicky fashion only reinforced the belief that it must be true, because it was being clamped down so hard and NOW, partially, thanks to your asserted, proclaimed and clearly enforced wisdom, we get to see at least two year show of House hearings on it. Great Job!

So yeah, so very effective.
Yes, this could make for a fine, touching, family movie. Girl, Disrupter. For a plot twist, Elizabeth breaks out of the joint, leaving her daughters with the guard. "Can you watch them just for a second?"
What’s the aspect ratio?
I'm an atheist, but in place of spiritualism I have the mysteries of the universe.

Is the universe infinite? It appears to be based on existing evidence. And if not infinite, then being geometrically flat makes it unthinkably vast multiplied by unthinkably vast.

How did the universe even start? And how can that question make any sense at all without time? How can there be "before the beginning of the universe" when "before" is not a concept that exists?

Fabulous questions to ponder.
While the technology for cold-storing apples is impressive, I don't believe most apples do well after two years in storage.

According to https://extension.umd.edu/resource/keeping-it-cool-cold-stor... the maximum is 6 months, while some apples can handle only 1-2 months.

According to https://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/bk-2007-0956.ch020?cook... the antioxidant activity in apples gradually drops off after three months of storage in the cold. An apple stored for nearly a year will have almost no antioxidants remaining in it whatsoever.

This definitely fits with my experience that apples bought just before the seasons starts (so 11 months in storage) are not worth eating; and the best apples are the ones picked straight from the tree.
> capital gains are not really 'earning' something

I think it's fair to say earned when it comes to the literal founder.
Thanks. I couldn't get what's the point, since I'm always on Theater mode anyway.
No, you don't need a single authentication provider, you can use more or less what you want/need and there is nothing for it mandatory in the protocol.

What currently is kinda centralized is an identity matching service, but even that is completly optional and will bec replaced by something more federated at some point.
> I had previously understood Effective Altruism to be something akin to like a pledge drive for Charity Navigator's best-reviewed charities or something

I mean, I think you were basically right before, and now you're over-reading a lot from an awkward sentence fragment. I agree that the phrase and implied comparison is garbage.

It seems kind of like hearing MTG talk about the Gazpacho Police or whatever and subsequently ascribing it to the GOP. Yes, the quote is clearly inane. Yes, she is a person of some influence in the GOP; no, that doesn't mean everyone in the GOP believes what MTG is saying. I guess you could say the GOP is a cult, but I think maybe cult doesn't mean anything if it applies to 40% of the US population.

Anyway, I totally agree as far as "AI safety." And fuck SBF and steal-to-give.

> Yes, to answer the Economist; this movement is irretrievable.

What name would you give to a movement to point charitable dollars at, say, the front page of GiveWell? (Givewell is more or less what EA means to me.)
> really big 12-plate clutch

Here's a video showing a multi-plate clutch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TcYsV063lk8

Only being familiar with simple car transmissions, wow! That's a lot of friction.

Key concept seems to be, for some pressure force, you get N times the friction force.
Yeah I didn't think a day over 3 years.
Not to flex too much, I raised a pretty good couple of kids that I am proud of.
Has anyone ever heard about audits concerned with subsecond timestamp resolution?
In the low end models that I'd be willing to pay for, there is no price difference between stick and automatic in the U.S.
CloudTube displays the player of a proper width and maintains aspect ratio, but without controls: https://tube.cadence.moe/watch?v=5dl4EQ5d47U

Invidious just shows the regular 16:9 player: https://invidious.namazso.eu/watch?v=5dl4EQ5d47U
Reading this and your earlier comments, it appears you had kids in order to have someone take care of you in your old age?! You seem to have great expectations for your kids. Hopefully they are OK with that.
> only mentoring others and attending meetings and writing design docs (as someone else suggested here)

If you are mentioning a previous comment of mine [1] in this thread I think you're grossly misrepresenting my words. And if so I definitely take offense in that as it's not only uncharitable, it's completely missing the point and reducing a brief expansion based on one of your questions to "only attending meetings and writing design docs", something I've never mentioned in the hypothetical scenario you raised.

I expect my assumptions are wrong because if not I'd definitely say you're not fit to be a leader or architect of anything.

Built a niche ratings and reviews site that grew to 10M visitors a year before I sold it.

I’m mainly proud of the fact that we kept strict separation between revenue ops and content moderation despite a lot of pressure from billion dollar companies to delete reviews they didn’t like. We left lots of money on the table, but fuck those companies.

15 years on, reviews are woven into most websites in the industry and they’re all pretty biased and controlled by the companies we resisted before selling.
Scrypt [1] is a password based key derivation function (PBKDF), which can be used as a hash function that takes a configurable amount of memory to compute.

The reason it makes a very poor PoW (as choice of hash function in the Hashcash Proof-of-Work) is that the PoW verifier needs as much memory as the PoW prover, whereas a good PoW should be instantly verifiable.

This is why blockchains using scrypt as hash function severely limit the amount of memory used (usually to 128KB). So that verification, while slow, is not horribly slow.

Cuckoo Cycle also requires a configurable amount of memory to solve (subject to certain tradeoffs), but crucially, can be instantly verified with no memory use at all. And thus makes for a good PoW.

In the form of the Cuckatoo32 variant that most mining takes place with, it requires 0.5 GB of SRAM and 0.5 GB of DRAM to solve most efficiently.

What the hell does "demonetize" even mean? YouTube uses that term to mean they won't pay the creator. Twitter doesn't pay anyone. Removing ads just makes the content better.
Shifting an EV seems like a gimmick, with not much of a gain, and no substantial consequence for poor technique. A real reason, posted earlier today, is people strongly preferring that experience of manually controlling a complex mechanism, and being unwilling to give it up. I sure won't.

It might for some at the margin, but I’d posit severe substance abuse or mental health issues are largely characterized by the fact that people suffering from these conditions cannot be reliably counted upon to act rationally (and spend money on shelter as opposed to spending it on their addiction or or squander it some other way)
Presumably there are liquidation companies that deal with such things. (There are companies out there to do pretty much anything.)
Modern automatic transmissions are kind of icky, IMHO. DSG is pretty good, except the car I had with one had a speed around 6 mph that was terribly jerky; other than that it was fine. My van has a 9 speed automatic that's awful though, routinely hard shifts around 25 mph, can't engine brake on downhills for anything, even in L.

Hybrid e-CVT is nice though, driving wise and engineering wise.
Do you believe they'll have trouble building a case against SBF & friends?

I took the comments to mean they wanted something to stop this from occurring, and I don't think that works well, criminals are going to do what criminals do. You can prosecute afterwards, but you can't easily stop them before they do it, see Theranos, WireCard, Nikola etc etc.
Yes. Maybe with an exception for VC which is expected to make a lot of long shots bets of which few pay off.
I would agree. 11 years seems light for something of this magnitude, even if you don't consider possession sentences.
> I want to find a good non-profit to take this over to keep it ad and javascript free forever.

Maybe worth reaching out to Mozilla. That's the only actual non-profit I can think of who I think would have both the ability and the incentive to keep it online.
IFTTT is really the beginning. We’ll be rolling out webhooks, so hopefully, you can build something you can trust off of it.

Edit: Typo.
I might be reading this wrong, but is this something where you could launch your containerized app running on whatever port, and map it to `localhost:443` using something along the lines of `docker run -p 127.0.0.1:443:<whatever port in the container> My-App-Image` ? (might need sudo). I read this as wanting to have <your IP>:443 proxy to the container. Hope I'm not crazy.
Not that I don't think Elizabeth Holmes deserves this sentence, but when was the last time you heard about an investor get sentenced to a decade in prison for saying they'd make valuable introductions (or whatever) as part of the investment process and then not following through?
These books have examples of poor communications and why things can go wrong with them. For me it was simply a matter of reading the examples and saying "Yup, I do this" or "Yup, my boss/coworker does this."

Once you somewhat internalize the advice in the book, it's not hard to look at a conversation you had earlier in the day and start itemizing the "mistakes" you made. The hard part is to catch them live before they happen.

A word of caution: Don't assume that just because people are turned off that the problem is you. I thought that way and after reading the book, I found out that about half of them were my problem, half with the other parties - and the important message wasn't that I should change my style, but that I should learn to handle it when the other party takes something I said poorly, and help them articulate what is bothering them.
XTDB has a new version coming out which will support, as I understand it, more SQL friendly interaction for those who want it.
I didn't look carefully, but Holmes' defense sentencing memorandum doesn't appear to mention pregnancy at all. Let's be careful about not making things up to suit a narrative!
I often compare science environments to general environments. In science, if you’re wrong, there’s no pardon: Your rocket doesn’t land on the moon, so you gotta keep your speech clear, your expertise precise, and your reputation perfect. In speech environments, if you’re handwaving it and are dishonest, you win the market.

Science environments are better suited for me, but I get bashed in general environments…
