> What am I missing?

The fact that a massive number of high-profile advertisers have announced they've stopped buying ads?

> > Audi of America, United Airlines, General Mills, General Motors, Volkswagen, Modelez International (which makes popular products like Oreos), and Omnicon (which manages advertising for brands like McDonalds and Apple)

So two of the world's largest automakers, the world's richest computer company, one of the largest food companies in the US, the largest fast food chain in the world....yeah, I'm sure they'll keep right on with that "upward trajectory" with revenue falling like a lead balloon.

...and not just because of a risk of hate speech and other not-brand-safe stuff happening, but because they rightly feel that the company losing half its staff (the half too stupid to leave) has serious implications for almost every aspect of Twitter's operations, including minor little things like cybersecurity. Who's going to be doing pentesting? Who's going to be patching exploits in the mobile clients and website? Who's monitoring for things like bot networks registering fake accounts (remember when Elon was concerned about that?) and pushing tweets full of political, economic, or social misinformation? Dollars to donuts twitter starts having problems with shit like tiktok's endlessly destructive "challenges."

Hell, advertisers are probably wondering whether they'll even get a bill or know where to send a check.

That it's not "personnel changes" but thousands of their best employees leaving? (It's not the worst people that leave.)

That it took barely 48 hours for Musk to cause a major outage, accidentally killing the services that handled 2FA because he thought "bah, all these silly microservices"

That Tesla stock was at ~$380 this year and is now at half that? In less than a month it's gone from $230 to $180.2
Can't you disable NCSI in registry? Or does that not actually help for those other services internally?

I was the creative co-founder of The Mysterious Package Company (mysteriouspackage.com) and we - gasp - sold mysterious packages. It was a wild idea pitched by my cofounder, to which I was a hesitant buy-in, but the impact we had on people is astonishing.

Rich stories, physical things (letters, puzzles, hair..), and a customized elements are still extremely rare to find in a product offer.

I'm no longer involved (and I didn't get rich), but I'm still proud of the experiences we created for the human bonding that occurred after delivery.

To this day there are people who come up to me saying "You!! I couldn't sleep for a week!" or "You!! My father and I went over your aged documents with a fine tooth comb and they were _REAL_." I'm so proud to have given these people a moment of awe and wonder.
But without it, you can't even safely run your own local server, if you allow others to post there. It protects HN just as much as it protects Twitter and Facebook.
> 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.

The sjws and Christians show grace in exactly the same way: you earn it by converting.

Middle America also has it's own issues, nihilism, crab mentality (big one), and drug issues (also a coastal problem) are some that come to mind
As someone privacy minded, how do you manage domain ownership? I've recently jumped into this world myself and I feel as though most registrars are unsavory in some way.

Have you tried C? I’m not being snarky, remembering all the undefined behavior is a task in itself. I’m a Haskell neophyte, but I often find myself reaching for things haskell has in the box when I’m writing something in another language.

To me, it’s like the people who describe a cat as “just like a dog” as a positive trait for the cat. Why deal with the “just like” version if you can have the real thing? Just get a dog. So I find myself reaching for these tools and then I try to just go to the real thing. Unfortunately I can’t run Haskell on an ESP32 :)

Btw, this is not to denigrate cats, they are great in their own right. Not for me, I’m violently allergic and somewhat particular to having the things I ensure exist be thankful, but I respect everyone’s choices in the fluffy friend department.
Single-gear EVs are significantly less efficient at freeway speeds. They can benefit from a second gear, but it seems this isn't considered worth the extra cost.
Huh? If you have multiple WANs, presumably you’re running an actual routing protocol (BGP if WAN means WAN) and it’s solving your routing question based off of it’s configuration and the routes announced by it’s peers.

Also, I hope you’re not relying on ICMP to tell you meaningful things about your relationship with the internet. It lies.

From the article, "We are spending an enormous amount of our healthcare budget on patients in the last 5 or 10 years of their life."

It is even worse than that in the U.S., estimated at 10% of total healthcare expenditures in the last year of life.

Sometimes promoters hold tickets and put them on the secondary market themselves. But they sell tickets to scalpers as a way to gaurantee a certain level of profit. Which lowers their risk of losing money, especially when spread over a large amount of events. The scalper business model is to buy risk from the promoter, and then selling the convenience of not planning ahead to consumers. Said differently, If promoters try to capture maximum value for every ticket, they will risk making less money at a slower rate.

That said, I think it might work if they start every sale of tickets with an initial high price that reduces on a defined schedule. So people with more money to spend can gaurantee a spot for themselves, while everyone else waits for the tickets to get cheaper.

Edit: ha! I obviously didn't rtfa before my comment.

Guns. Guns are how. Guns are how governments achieve their objectives.

There is no crypto scheme, no algorithm, no possible arrangement of private keys and Merkle trees that can escape the reality of men with guns.

Why not have a big closed auction? Everyone has a week or so to submit how much they are willing to pay for a ticket. Once the auction closes, sort by price and take the number of seats available. Everyone pays the minimum price that still fits in the seats available.

I'm imagining a large scale Vickery auction, sorry if I'm not explaining super well. Everyone pays the same, but people get a price they think is fair.

Accounts satirizing Elon Musk get banned. Clearly "free speech" has a bright line drawn at the boundary of Musk's ego.
Text:

Elon Musk sent an email this morning around 9 AM asking “anyone who actually writes software” to meet him at Twitter at 2PM today, amid a wave of departures at the company following a Thursday deadline for employees to recommit.

According to a source at Twitter, preliminary data at the company indicates that between 1,000 and 1,200 Twitter employees opted not to click “yes,” by Thursday’s deadline, on a form that required employees to affirm their intention to keep working at Twitter. Employees who did not click yes, were effectively deemed to have resigned.

It’s unclear exactly how many employees remain at Twitter.

On Friday, Musk sent an email summoning remaining employees who “actually write software” to meet him at the Twitter headquarters.

“Before doing so, please email me a bullet point summary of what your code commits have achieved in the last ~6 months, along with up to 10 screenshots of the most salient lines of code,” Musk wrote.

About 20 minutes after his first email, Musk sent a follow-up to address remote workers. He directs them to “email the request below” and he will perform “short, technical interviews” over video. Only those who cannot physically get to Twitter HQ or “have a family emergency” are excused, Musk said.

Then, several minutes after the second email, Musk sent a third email asking employees to fly to SF to be present in person if they can.

“I will be at Twitter HQ until midnight and then back again tomorrow morning,” Musk wrote.

Roughly an hour later, Musk sent a fourth email to staff telling them “flying out to SF would be appreciated, but is not essential.”

The director of engineering sent a message to the capacity engineering team at Twitter, who are responsible for making sure everyone has enough resources for their servers to run, via Slack shortly after Musk’s correspondence to the company.

“Team – Working to get more info on Elon’s ask. Feel free to reach out if you have any [questions],” the director said. “On travel, [the VP of Engineering on Core Infrastructure]’s recommendation is to send the code snippet and bullets first. Then, decide if travel is appropriate. This is evolving, but we expect there to be some sort of method prioritize [sic] over the next hour or so.”

Around 5PM PST Musk sent out another email to all staff asking everyone to be prepared to do “brief” code reviews because he’s “walking around the office.”
I did enable IPv6 in one ISP of one small country :-)

Country jumped lots of positions in IPv6 adoption
Some venues do this, but it does slow down entry (though during the pandemic some venues where checking IDs anyway along with covid test results, etc..)

AXS requires that you use their app and it must be logged into the account that purchased the tickets. The QR codes need to be refreshed before entry and expire in 60 seconds.

This presumably requires scalpers/bots to create an account per ticket purchase, and there is probably a limit on the number of accounts that can share the same payment method and address.
Same, or nearly so. Also saw the entire site DB get corrupted. Backups had been broken for some time. All hands, we found some way to restore from the raw DB files, I don't recall the details. I know it took something like 18 hours, and we we lucky.

I honestly don't think Twitter will make it through Thanksgiving and the World Cup starting in the same week. Even if they do, The World Cup final is Dec 18th, the Sunday before Christmas. And then Christmas and New Years.
> Humanity has been using it for millennia.

Humanity has also been using refined carbohydrates, woodsmoke, theism, and fossil fuels for millennia. The fact that something has been around for a long time does not mean that it is not bad and harmful.

There is no amount of “harmless” alcohol consumption. Alcohol is unambiguously bad for human health.
That's can be pulled off, but actually requires planning and forethought to pull off. For instance, you'd want the keys to be on HSMs/hardware wallets in different jurisdictions (ideally rivals like US and Russia). Obviously this wasn't something they considered or planned for considering many (most?) of the higher ups were living in a shared penthouse in the Bahamas. Although, to be fair I don't fault them for not planning for this. If things get bad enough that men with guns are demanding you to do something, being able to reject their request would be pretty low on my list of priorities.
Only when she is actually helpful.
Some of these can be avoided if twitter is run in maintenance mode. All the code pushes and new features make up the bulk of problems people see.

There is also the option to deal with these issues by not complicating things in the first place and writing things down. Your door locks don’t have to depend on your DNS. The policy for each country’s intel request is already documented and easily searched for. There’s a world cup playbook somewhere and you don’t just wing it every year.

Amazing. I've been reading WWII history for decades, and I hadn't heard of this until today.
I remember Green Day doing a local show where you had to pay cash at the door.

This seems to address botting, though scalping organizations can still pay people to stand in line (and presumably take a cut when they are paid to give up their spots.)

Personally I think this approach helps out kids who have time to wait in line but don't necessarily have the money to pay huge markups and fees from the secondary market.
They should have probably written it in Assembly.
My YouTube app won’t play any videos now. Wow.

Edit: rebooting the phone fixed it.
I built a dirt-simple phone service for people to call and scream[0]. It went viral and got mainstream media attention. My partner was not wild about the hours a day I spent moderating 3-second recordings of random strangers screaming.

Bahamian government is seizing assets "to protect the interests of clients or customers".
The scalpers grab most of the tickets at open anyway.

And I doubt that a very large number of fans are concertgoers at all. How many football fans actually go to the superbowl?

I looked it up and it's ~80k, while 100M watch on TV. The cheapest tickets are ~$5000 dollars
The single most important thing for anyone in the medical system is having a capable advocate. This story really drives that point home.
> The broader notion of survival, against the elements, seems like a solved

not really. It's easy to survive against the elements, but that's because those who perform the tasks of helping you survive against the elements (and food and necessities) are expecting you to contribute higher-order goods/services back.

> thrive quite effectively with far less effort directed in the right way.

so who's doing the directing? if it's a central authority, we know how that went.

The only real option left is market directed. Which is what we have today. There cannot be, at the current technological level, an easy life. Until the day humanity move to post-scarcity, this will remain the case.
More than laziness, it's too complex a problem for most decision makers. Environment is ever changing and extremely competitive. Most people don't handle such problems well and few get the training or have the support. It's pretty much like crypto. Most people are sold shit they have no capacity to understand.
So the story writes itself.

These are info asymmetry problems and society and business hasn't been dealing with them at such scales for too long. So solutions are a work in progress.
That was a great video actually. Very eye opening.
Are you suggesting that the Bahamas infiltrated FTX with guns and took their keys?
Because their product is essentially unpriceable. If the concerts were priced by demand their demand would dry up considering that instead of forty people wanting to hear jazz on a saturday night you've got 30 million people screaming their lungs out - the only reasonable market response to this is for the pricing to adjust so that only the most wealthy can attend but then you'll get an issue where the performer will lose mass appeal since they so infrequently perform for "regular people" and it will cheapen their brand. It's a weird catch-22 and the real honest solution is that recordings are the solution to this problem but people still obsess over live performances.
These are called Sybil attacks.
If you want to artificially limit torque, sure. But it generally isn't necessary.

The only attempts at production EVs with multiple gears have targeted two gears, one for acceleration and one for increase top speed above 100mph for racing or Autobahn cruising.

That's not going to give drivers the "thrill" of a manual transmission.

If what you are seeking is the direct-drive feel of a manual transmission, and shifting to be in the strong part of the power curve for each situation, an EV does all of that just by pressing the accelerator.
If you're not American, I can see why you wouldn't understand the cultural context that the article, and my response above, presumes intimate knowledge of. If you're curious, you could read Zinn's A People's History of the United States which is a pretty good primer.
Just one day ago I heard from a UK friend about how they had their belongings stolen on a public bus and were humiliated by other riders for appearing feminine (including being laughed at by bystanders) (and they were not even being openly trans).

I don't think that this community needs to be made more vulnerable right now. Maybe it has obnoxious ideologues, many groups do, but for every one of those there are thousands of invisible, quiet people getting hurt because people think it's ok to publically hurt them.
Source? If that were true, and I was one of the people that moved because of Twitter's announcement that I could work from home forever, I would: expense plane tickets to the office, find or create the ten best relevant memes, and bring those in with me.
Moody's withdraws Twitter's ratings due to insufficient information (11/18/22)
"The ratings have been disclosed to the rated entity or its designated agent(s) and issued with no amendment resulting from that disclosure.

These ratings are solicited."
I just want to know this: Can a manual transmission give you any practical benefit in an EV? I think the torque bands of _current_ EVs are so wide that they can perform reasonably well without more than two gears, but could they compromise on that power band or change the final drive to create a faster or more efficient EV with 6 speeds?

If the answer is no, I'm not interested. I've already had enough fun with manual on cars where it mattered.

So far, Porsche has made the case for a two-speed EV, and not just when you're racing. Single-speed ones are less efficient at freeway speeds. But a two-speed manual transmission wouldn't be much fun. Maybe I missed it, but the article didn't explain what it's like to drive the five-speed EV Bronco. What happens when you shift gears?
Tech has changed _a lot_ over the past few decades. Auth tokens expire. I'd be interested to hear how you're planning to future proof your solution.
A seizure of funds is certainly not the first step of bankruptcy proceedings. SBF seems to have "fled" to the Bahamas, and he would obviously have the access needed to make the transfer. And as the article says, the Bahamas are trying to get the US Chapter 11 proceedings thrown out arguing their own bankruptcy proceedings have priority. There was also the mystery texts from SBF arguing "Chapter 11 was my biggest mistake" and "trying to resolve a jurisdictional issue with Delaware".
Is there any value in learning how to use the electronic manual override option some automatics have?

Didn't have to comply with the GDPR because it didn't exist. Wasn't scrutinized as much over issues of speech and harassment (GamerGate hadn't happened yet). Didn't have nation states attempting to manipulate the platform for propaganda purposes.
mid range boards needs stdlib
That "the pixels have to agree" part seemed especially bogus.
> There are only a few cases where you really need to manually include size information; off the top of my head, I can only think of: sign- or zero-extended moves out of memory, and operations involving a memory and immediate operand.

There are a whole bunch of instructions with no operands at all that nonetheless have sizes. The most useful that comes to mind is SYSRET. sysretl and sysretq are both useful but are not interchangeable.

What are the variable "fixed" costs? And when are they incurred?

This is about revenue maximization, not user enjoyment maximization or fairness maximization.

Ultimately I don't think most artists actually want revenue maximization - they're probably far more interested in fairness maximization in ensuring their fan base of all economic strata get to see them live.

This reply will probably get downvoted, but grace has inherent issues.

Actual grace in Christianity involves becoming a believer, no? That comes with its own set of obligations. Combine this with a culture that jumps at the opportunity to capitalize off of people's misery and you have a recipe for self destruction. Look at the pharma companies poisoning this country with opiates if you want an example
