Empty seats in high level roles are usually only found in startups, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity to compete over empty high level roles in a big tech company. Elon created a ton of problems for Twitter, there will be a lot of money for the people who can fix those, so if you believe you have the kind of skills Elon values and that you can help save Twitter from him then the current state of Twitter is the most attractive workplace to be. Its basically like joining a startup that already makes billions of dollars, maybe it fails, but no startup will have as great odds as current Twitter of actually making billions of dollars.

You know how they say that you should hire during recessions etc, going against the stream is often really lucrative.
Removing each other from committees is a far cry from kicking each other out of Congress. That has only happened twice since the 19th century, and both times it came after a criminal conviction. Merely being an absolute idiot isn't enough to get a 2/3rds vote to kick out a congressmen because that would be mutually assured destruction; they all know they're all absolute idiots so they don't expel each other out for that.

Also,

> Both the House and the Senate make their own rules,

The rules for expelling congressmen are set in the US Constitution, they don't just make it up as they go. Unless you're talking about their ability to amend the US Constitution, but that's even less likely than kicking these guys out the normal way.

The best way to get them kicked out would be to have them convicted for bribery/corruption, then you might get a 2/3rds vote to expel them.

Stopping it from increasing is overwhelmingly simple. Just stop digging up carbon and stop releasing carbon tied up in ecosystems. The methods for getting energy without fossil fuels are accelerating at 20% or so per year, and last year displaced about 1-2% of carbon producing final energy. Luckily noone is proposing solving the problem by Thanos snapping a quarter of the population, so you don't have to worry about something as obviously idiotic as that not helping.

As to removing it, there are on the order of a billion with enough wealth to wield about 10kW without dropping their quality of life below the people they stole the natural resources from. This is enough energy for direct capture and sequestration of 10-20 tonnes of CO2 using industrial means per year using current technology. There are also many biological means that would have even greater impact just using a fraction of the land used for pasture.

There is no technical limitation to undoing the damage in a century or even a few decades, merely one of political will.

So I reiterate. What is your point of bringing this up? Why are you repeating this? What are you even trying to say?

A very expensive and exotic treatment is still better than no treatment I guess. At least we have a starting point of knowing that something works, other people can hopefully come along and cut the costs down.

That being said, we still have cost problems even for not-so exotic treatments like bio-similars drugs (the generic equivalent for biologic drugs such as insulin). A lot of these drugs are off patent but still highly difficult and expensive to produce. Solving this bottleneck will be hugely beneficial to a lot of people

What FTX situation? I have not given a cent to FTX, my kids have not given a cent to FTX, nobody I personally know have lost anything with FTX. More regulation (which in this case I don’t need) will cost me money spent to enable and enforce it.

Now, exactly what regulations we need to prevent companies from spending customers’ money on executive homes? All regulation you need to prevent this is on the books for some hundred years.

What are these "basic necessities"? To me it seems like it's an ever-increasing list of things that were largely created in the modern era. A person from a few hundred years would hardly consider deodorant a basic necessity.

We consider them basic necessities, because we're used to them, but all these new inventions had to be made by somebody. The profit motive seems to be quite good at incentivizing people to do just that. If we discourage that then the basic necessities of tomorrow might not get invented.

I posted a bit on Usenet in the early 2000s. It felt like a vast dying civilization, and I was fascinated by the depths of its history, so I ate up stuff like this.

One thing that sticks out is how much technical constraints defined Usenet. The decentralized store-and-forward structure was designed based on the extremely low bandwidth available (initially 300 baud modems, connected for a few minutes each night) and the various newsgroup hierarchies were largely meant to signal which groups should be prioritized over others when a site was determining what to carry. Hence the insistence on comp.women over soc.women because only the comp.* groups made it to Europe. As described in the article, the switchover from UUCP to TCP/IP made the "backbone cabal" and their carriage decisions obsolete shortly after the Great Renaming took place, yet the naming conventions remained.

A big difference between Usenet and modern services is that, except on the rare moderated newsgroups (where a moderator had to approve all messages before posting) anyone could post, all posts went to all servers carrying the newsgroup, and nobody could force other servers to delete posts. It was expected for users to "killfile" anyone whose posts they didn't want to read, but it was nearly impossible to ban someone from a newsgroup so that nobody could read their posts. Ban someone from one server and they could just sign up on another. Defederating a server, the so-called Usenet Death Penalty, was almost exclusively used against spam servers. These properties of Usenet made it an attractive platform for sharing pirated and other illegal content, which in turn led to the demise of ISP-hosted Usenet servers in the late 2000s (by which time most of the legitimate discussion groups had migrated elsewhere).

There was nothing like the current Mastodon drama with sites defederating each other over whether certain political views should be allowed by moderators, because there were no moderators and no notion that any political views were unacceptable to post. (Of course, political posts outside political newsgroups were considered rude, but there were no bans for rudeness, only killfiles...)

> The US item is also materially smaller than the UK version.

I'm fairly sure the US version is weight of the product (not including the can), and the UK version is volume.

US version is listed at "NET WT 3.8OZ/107g", where if it was volume (like the UK) it would be listed as "3.8 FL. OZ". [0]

UK version is listed at 250ML (can't find a good image of the listing on the label), so I suspect is volume rather than weight.

> Fluid ounces measures the volume of a liquid and net weight measures the mass of a solid. You may have heard of ‘gross weight’ but it shouldn’t be listed on product labels because it can be confusing and misleading to consumers. Gross weight combines the weight of the contents and container, whereas the net weight only measures the contents.

> Since fluid ounces and net weight measure different things, they don’t equal each other. For example, 8 fl. oz. of juice doesn’t equal 8 net wt. oz. of chips.

The Magic Number Database
Agree! Chatter Net is built to be self-moderating. The currently implementation (conversely.social) isn't fully using this yet.

From the user point of view, the idea is simple: you receive messages only from people you follow. As people in your network emit "view" messages (about other posts), those posts will make it to your inbox. It's a sort gossip mechanism.

There's another side to this coin: as a server administrator you might not want to host arbitrary content. So a server is free to filter content using any rules. The simplest of which would be to allow content only from trusted accounts.

A user is free to connect to any server, and if that server accepts their content, this is how they can send messages. A server is free to server only the information it wants to share. A user should be connected to multiple servers, and these can change session-to-session.

This is meant to be transparent to the user, you just go any site that delivers the front-end which can run a Chatter Net node, and that node will listen to what servers others are connecting to, and connect to those servers.

The hope is that communities will form around certain servers / moderation styles. But ultimately, the user chooses what they consume.

Well hopefully Twitter will completely implode and what's left will be sold off for a tiny, tiny fraction of what Elon spent for it. Then the VCs will have to come to grips with the idea that having lower standards and cutthroat management doesn't result in profitability, but rather utter failure.
Electrical power is far more fungible than oil is.

If you have a disfavored sector of the economy that isn't allowed to use electricity from fossil fuels, and a favored sector that is, the effect on how much electricity your economy consumes from what sources will be zero until the amount of electricity needed by the disfavored sector exceeds total non-fossil-fuel-based production.

Just FYI, PAL and NTSC are field based, not frame based. PAL is 50 fields per second, and NTSC is 60; a field is either the odd or even lines of the display. So that's 525i/50 or 480i/60

The NES always sends the shorter type of fields, so for NTSC you actually get a little over 60fps with the same 240 lines every fields; it's not standard NTSC timings, it's 240p60; same deal with PAL. The SNES and Genesis could optionally output interlaced video, but only a handful of games did.

Intent does matter, however - plausible deniability would not be a thing otherwise.

Only in cases of strict liability are intentions not usually considered, which mostly include minor offenses (infractions) and a few major ones like statutory rape. Possession of items that are illegal to possess in any situation is another case where strict liability applies, but possession of legal goods that “a reasonable person” would not be aware was stolen does not fall into this case. Amazon sellers sign a contract saying the goods they offer for sell are their legal possessions to sell, giving Amazon plausible deniability as if anyone breaks the law, as the seller would then also be breaking their rules as well.

I think we need to ask ourselves the harder questions of why people are stealing and figure out how to address that issue. Just like how we here tend to condemn technological solutions for social problems, tons of legal regulations can be fairly criticized for a being a legal solution to a social problem.

I have bought a lot of books from Amazon, and if you look past the scrubbing with a marker, it's always some library within America - so yes even books from Amazon are just books taken from public libraries.
> it is hard to find a place where independent thought is so unwelcome.

Is that actually true, though? It's true that a higher fraction of the people in that community give credence to the intelligence explosion hypothesis than pretty much anywhere else. (This is what one would expect, since part of the purpose of LessWrong is to be a forum for discussions about super-intelligent AI.) But even if the intelligence explosion is a terrible, absolutely-wrong theory, that doesn't prevent the people who hold it from being open-minded and tolerant of independent thought. Willingness to consider new and different ideas is something the LessWrong community claims to value, so it would be a little bit weird if they were doing way worse than average at it. And AFAICT, it seems like they're doing fine. Some examples:

- Here [1] is a post critical of the intelligence explosion theory. It has 81 upvotes as of this writing, and the highest upvoted comment goes like: "thanks for writing this post, it makes a lot of good arguments. I agree with these things you wrote" (list of things) "here are some points where I disagree" (list of things). This may even be the original post you were talking about in your comment, except that it doesn't start with an apology.

- LW has 2 different kinds of voting: "Regular upvotes" provide an indication of the quality of a post or comment, and "agree/disagree votes" let people express how much they agree or disagree with a particular comment. Down-voting a high quality comment just because you disagree (instead of giving it a disagree-vote) would be against the culture on LW.

If you're already sure that LW is wrong about superintelligence, and you're trying to explain how they became wrong, then "those LW people were too open minded and fell for that intelligence explosion BS" makes more sense to me than anything about suppression of independent thought.

In theory yes, in practice documentation tends to be too sloppy to be useful.

The problem is that writing all the details is equivalent to just providing the source code, so you need to explain less. But then unless what you are working with has very clean abstractions the documentation becomes worthless because it doesn't explain things well enough. So in practice documentation for a codebase is mostly worthless unless the codebase is very cleanly written, which wont be the case unless we are talking about programming languages or similar.

The real documentation people use in codebases is looking at how things are used in other parts of the codebase. Then you have examples and maybe even tests showing how it works, so you start from there and maybe test some things if you need to do things a bit differently.

So when is documentation actually useful? When you provide a library that is intended to be used outside of your codebase, so a person who adds the library to his codebase can understand how to use it without having examples to look at in their code. But this is a very specific case and most software engineers don't have to think about it.

If I'm missing something here please explain why, but I've never found any documentation to be useful, except for libraries from outside your codebase. And even for libraries it is often easier and faster to just read the source code if it is available.

Edit: If you are talking about design documents for services and features then those are useful, yes, but that is usually not what people talk about when they talk about software engineers writing documentation.

Yes, writing is significant and its (whole or partial) disappearance coincides with a great deal of societal trauma.

But the trauma isn't why a period deserves to be called a dark age. It's called a dark age because it's hard to see.
> Understaffing doesn't justify crime.

Noting the existence of theft throughout the ages is not an endorsement.

My point is that we should be careful who we ask to pay for enforcement. It's expensive to maintain a system of courts and jails for petty crimes. Rikers is a rather egregious example, but almost $1 billion per year where 85% of detainees are pretrial!

I think it's legitimate to ask to what exent the community should cover the enforcement cost.
I haven't looked that often since it is easiest to try to avoid software that isn't in the main package system, but I rarely see PKGBUILD checked into the upstream project. It is more common in my experience that an upstream developer manages the AUR package on the Arch website, not as part of the project. You can verify AUR packages before using them (this is what I do) but it is an extra step vs. a maintained PPA. AUR packages can be unmaintained as well. No matter the system the best situation for users is when the software you use is in the main package system.

> But surely Amazon is literally handling stolen goods? Is there a smoking gun email?

If Amazon were a mom and pop fence, the local cops could bust them in a sting. But Amazon is a huge megacorp, so even if the cops try to catch them in a sting nothing will stick because Amazon will claim their shear scale rendered them completely oblivious to everything and therefore not criminally culpable.

Depends on the disease. Mess around with the biomarker for scurvy and all that will happen is you cure the scurvy.
Why to avoid asymmetry?
That's not necessarily a smoking gun; public libraries often give away old books they don't want to keep around anymore. About a quarter of the books in my personal library are ex-library books, but none were stolen.

Of course if it's some popular in-demand book, it was almost certainly stolen. Most of the free library books I've scored are 50 year old textbooks about obscure/obsolete topics.

We use our crock pot mostly for cooking meat to go in other things. We'll cook a pork butt or a whole chicken over night then shred it up and make a few meals out of it for the week.

It's also nice for keeping things hot over time. We took mashed potatoes to Thanksgiving dinner in one today so they'd be easy to keep hot until the meal without monopolizing stove space.
