This from Ars Technica[1]:

"It’s likely Musk will turn to Hughes for guidance as the Federal Trade Commission threatens more legal challenges. If the FTC finds that Twitter misled users over privacy protections, that would violate a decade-old consent decree. NYT reported that the FTC has already sent Twitter letters asking how staff cuts have potentially impacted Twitter’s ability to uphold that agreement. Before he was dismissed from advising Twitter, Spiro had previously said that Musk “puts rockets into space” and was “not afraid of the FTC.”

Neither SpaceX nor Twitter immediately responded to Ars’ request to comment."

What this says to me is that the FTC already has a basis to put pressure on Musk, private ownership or not.

> Also suspended license doesn't make you forget the rules.

No, but there's probably a good reason it's suspended. It's not that you forgot the rules. It's just that you're not following them.
I like the theming, making wine. I get that the game starts off a bit slow due to the build up, but that's what I like. There are so many choices, and I like that. Kinda, choose your own engine building path style of game.

I have the Tuscany expansion, playing with 4 seasons and the unique workers makes the game even better in my opinion. I can see why some wouldn't like it, as it's a choice salad style game, and on first play through can seem like you're really doing nothing expect putting meeples down.

I actually wish they made a beer themed version of the game, call Bavaria or something.

> Actually there is a huge need to ban cars in cities. Many cities are doing it and those cities are far better to live in and visit because of it.

I think you missed the point. People drive cars on roads. Stop building, and start removing, roads and people no longer drive on them. There is no need to go through the process of banning cars if you just change how and what infrastructure gets built.
The star system in question: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gliese_1002

Only 15.8 lightyears away. Unfortunately I can’t find an estimate for the age but it’s a main sequence red dwarf with under 0.35 solar masses which implies it can burn for much longer than our sun - on the order of trillions of years: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_dwarf
Not sure where you got "she" from, but regardless, I bought another Tesla because the car is fantastic. The FSD is not.
Yeah, that's probably very true. Our main coordination server should probably get easier to run (for our on-prem customers and our various country-specific instances we run) but Headscale is far ahead of Tailscale's on just being easy to run.

They have certainly left the impression among many in the general public that we are close to commercializing this. Here's an example:

You call out "Great logic" with an immense whopper of your own.

Where did I say it was OK for billionaires to waste so much? Did calling them wasteful and hypocritical sound to you like I was supporting them?

If we want to extend the fallacies in the other direction - Why should the rest of the world do anything when these wasteful Americans insist on having so many trucks?
I know but people enjoy being skeptical, for good reason, but it’s hard to know where to draw the line.

They are actually behind schedule reaching this stage with NIF. The problem turned out to be harder than their simulations suggested. And going to a commercially viable power plant? Very dubious, for multiple reasons.
You can make such predictions if you know enough about human behavior and are a student of history. The idea that the sick and infirmed should do us all a favor and kill themselves is a historical default. From Aboriginals leaving elders behind to fend for themselves, to the Ättestupa for the Vikings. More recent examples include the Nazis who started with ‘merciful deaths’ for ‘life unworthy of life’ in a program called Project T4. They started with the totally brain dead and slippery sloped the rest. Ended up with the incurably ill, physically or mentally disabled, emotionally distraught, and elderly people Initially people had to petition the authorities letters and give their reasons for recommending their family member be euthanized. Letters you can still read and the arguments in them sound exactly the same as they do today. Hitting on the major themes of ‘who’d want to live like that’, ‘it’s for their own good’, and the more honest ‘they’re costing us a bunch of money that we can’t afford’.

Many old people tend to get cranky and are a pain, plus they have expensive medical problems and gambling habits. It’s extremely common for their children to wish them dead before all semblance of an inheritance and possibly their last hope at a middle class life is gone. Many people will be left with the choice of watching their middle class life disappear or successfully convincing their parents into assisted suicide. Some people even take matters into their own hands. Killing people for your own benefit is murder but if you convince them to suicide ether by persuasion or making their life unlivable then now it’s legal. A lot more people will take that option. You might think people are nicer than that but you’d be wrong. I used to have access to search logs and the percentage of people looking to covertly drown their disabled child is crazy pervasive. And we know how many went threw with it as they later search for funeral arrangements. No one wants to do anything about it because it is seen as an effective solution to a hard problem.

The real issue is that we’re on the cusp of major medical breakthroughs that will vastly improve the lives of many chronically ill people. But instead of spending on research though it’s considered easier to convince people to kill themselves via gaslighting. The fact that disabled people are expensive is the major impetus for researching treatments. Give medical insurers and governments an option to gaslight people into a cheaper ‘treatment’ and they will take it instead and the little money spent on on such research with dry up. Seriously research the history of chronic fatigue.
> Typically if you cause punishing suffering to your workers, they'll quit. The problem is...

No, that isn't the problem.

The problem is that railroad workers have very few choices of employer. There are only five major freight railroads in the US (BNSF, CSX, Kansas City, Norfolk Southern, and Union Pacific), and they're all fairly regional. A railroad worker who's fed up with their employer's policies will often only have one other company they could work for without moving across the country -- and the other company will often have very similar policies anyway.
That's good, because from my recollection, the really expensive parts of CSP are the complex heliostats, a great many of which are needed in order to reflect sufficient light on the target.
The car is great. FSD is not.
Nah, that’s just how it works. I had my own Nest that no one else messed with and it was still a constant battle. It was always trending towards power savings and making the house uncomfortable. The only useful part of it is that you can remote control it from your phone.
For a nice, polished, non-skeuomorphic circuit simulator, see iCircuit [1], which provides native MacOS and iOS clients (based on the Falstad JS circuit simulator mentioned elsewhere in this thread, if I recall correctly). It differs from most SPICE-based simulators in that there is no edit or run mode - the circuit is always simulating in transient mode so updates happen in real time.

It's mentioned that past a point the cover of working at the Foreign Office is unsustainable. They give an example of having 6 mobile phones in your bag, and needing to leave a dinner with friends at a moments notice. I wager it's better to tell them (which is allowed as they are immediate family) and have the conversation about discretion, rather than have them put the pieces together themselves.
I think the intent is to reduce the volume to near 0 during ad and DJ breaks, not normalize the volume against the music volume

This was interesting to read, thanks.

TBH some of the items do seem like they could be outright dangerous for the would-be-RP in many situations. The format could really use more nuance so people can make smarter decisions with the information.

Like, maybe don't confront or even talk to your drunk neighbors about their music in situations like X, Y, Z.

A lot of us aren't going to be gaslit into thinking that a given neighbor is magically going to be OK with personal interventions, just because we decided to act more accepting and upbeat starting now.

Also for example the "don't cooperate with cops" one, that needs to be reworded or just broken out into a guide of its own--not all rallies or demonstrations are the same at the very least...

A lot of the items are also based on psychological ideals held by given temperaments and cultural personality archetypes, so they are not shared by all of society and don't really need to be. In fact, acting as if one is a newly-converted community idealist is a good way to get social dichotomies to come out of the woodwork and fight against you from the start.

There are many more creative ways to work around the street art issue than "just learn to like street art OR paint it over" for example. But maybe the best ones involve a framework that helps people better navigate their specific situation first.

Overall I really like the idea, but get a bit of a feeling that it is going to keep some people feeling stuck doing the same things they were before.

More new info, details, etc. would be so helpful--trying new things is what will work; the old stuff like the "resist at all costs" hyperbole is what keeps breaking down for communities that want to believe in community growth & success.
Because that would mean they'd have to hire, train, and pay more employees.

If there's a realistic chance of Twitter going bankrupt, it seems logical to not pay vendors, rent, and severance, especially considering the time it will take any legal proceedings. Not saying it's ethical; the whole deal has been stupid from the start, and Elon's an asshole IMO.

Flipping the economic system isn't a conspiracy theory, it's a stated, documented plan [1].

On the CO2 side, even your comic is incorrect (it has to draw dotted lines to force its "joke") as CO2 has been decreasing: https://www.statista.com/statistics/183943/us-carbon-dioxide... and with proper application of regulation, carbon capture [2], and nuclear energy, will continue to decline.

> Just pretend for a moment that human behavior really is warming the planet and, if continued, will have devastating effect.

I have. For a long time. The effects it's having (per scientists, not news outlets) are immediately manageable and if people quit being ignorant about energy policy (wasting money on windmills, solar panels, and batteries and instead invest in nuclear safety and redesigning regulation), can be outright solved and made a non-issue long before grandma melts in the backyard.

Hello fellow radio person!

Looking at the script, it's just lowering the volume, possibly so it's at or below the average volume of the rest of the content (on a Sonos speaker using TuneIn).

One of the things wrong with our industry, inspired by legislation made by people with no technical background, is that the peak volume of a commercial can not be louder than the peak volume of the surrounding program.

So some in the industry processed the commercials into audio bricks, with the peak audio level at or below what's required. But the average audio of the commercial was much higher than the average audio of the programming. While it's legally lower volume, it's perceived as higher volume.

While this script is made for TuneIn via Sonos, I think the philosophy of louder average volume has migrated as a regular feature in streaming. I also think it's why many artists on ad-supported sales/streaming platforms process their tracks into bricks, so their track is not perceived as lower volume and less energy.

I can't speak for the person who coded this, but I think they are just correcting the legacy exploit, and not trying to outright remove the advertisements. (The example they give lowers the volume to "15", not "0")
Google should have built out Reader as its Twitter competitors, and Google+ as a separate Facebook competitor.

The former would be a more impersonal source of information and discussion, whereas the latter would have been where you put your personal connections.

Unfortunately Google wanted to do both in the same product, and thought that Circles would be sufficient to create the distinction, but the kind of stuff someone might want to expose to an impersonal connection is drastically different from the kind of stuff they want to expose to personal connections, to the point that they should arguably have completely different UIs.
We'd used Autopilot (non-FSD) for a a year at that point. I was used to mistakes and knew how to disengage quickly before they could be problems.

I was expecting FSD to be bad, but I sure wasn't expecting it to be that bad.

Maybe without disengaging any of the three incidents could have become problems, but for someone who knows how Autopilot works it was more comical than dangerous.
I am curious. What is the rationale behind the law that makes BE public info?
> The article is a recruiting piece targeting well-educated females; but the same (Oxbridge) females can earn six digits in finance and stay safe, instead of earning 22k and getting shot in Kandahar or stabbed in Najaf.

I always found that the pay scale for the security services is the same as the rest of the civil service really hard to justify. Why would I go work at GCHQ if I could make many multiples more, as a starting salary, in the private sector?

The 15 largest shipping container ships produce as much sulfur pollution as all non-commercial cars on the entire planet put together. There's thousands of those ships. Of all vehicle pollution, something like 95+% of it is large commercial vehicles.

Your switching from a truck to a car makes effectively ZERO difference in global emissions. If EVERY non-commercial vehicle in the US went down to ZERO pollution, it wouldn't even be noticed in the statistical noise of the country's pollution.

Streisand effect refutes this, especially for a famous person very overtly banning something.

There is no gain from censorship besides a limited set of cases, most of which are illegal but obviously some cases beyond that. Still very very far from the level of censorship being pushed by the Reddit/Twitter crowd these days (‘misinformation’ being bannable is a cancer on society).
That's true. But if you were to for instance publish that address with a call to action or if you were to compile a list of addresses of politicians with a call to action you'd quickly end up on the wrong side of the law. That is doxing. Merely looking up someone's address used to be a matter of looking in the phone book. And people that did not want to be in the phone book had unlisted numbers.

So the bar for doxing is definitely a low one, but in this particular case it isn't met. I can see why Musk is irritated that that account exists, even more so because it didn't go away at the first request by someone as powerful as him, and that makes it personal. See the whole saga with that diver for a typical response. But that doesn't mean that the person manning that account is doing something illegal and that is the bar which Elon Musk himself set not all that long ago, and which is what makes this news.

If he had been a bit smarter about this he would have just said: "I'm irritated by you, this is my site and you're gone". That would be that. But now there are all these logical pretzels why this is illegal and all that other stuff that people - and Musk - do on twitter is not because 'free speech'. The two are incompatible, and he knows it.
Red dwarf stars take up to 100 million years to settle down to the main sequence. Before that time, they are more luminous. During that period, these planets would not have been habitable and may have lost their water to space.

Red dwarfs also subject their planets in the putative habitable zone to much stronger stellar winds and flare radiation, which makes survival of their atmospheres problematic.
I tried to talk it into agreeing that genocide is an understandable response to human overpopulation, and a likely outcome if resource scarcity becomes a dominant issue, via a circuitous route, but it wasn't having any of it, on moral grounds.

It did come up with an estimate of maximal sustainable human population of ~5 billion people, however, which was interesting (asked it for arable land estimate, then asked it for hectares/per human estimate, then asked it to combine those numbers and estimate sustainable human population).

Would make a decent tabloid headline, "AI calls for human population reduction!!!", lol.

Why is that a filesystem issue or a "utf8only=on" issue? If the renderer doesn't have sufficient context, it will pick one glyph to render anyway, and it could be "wrong".

Serious question: Why is a home address considered off limits? For most people, you can find their home address with 5 minutes of Googling. For someone like me, and I imagine the average HN reader, that time is more like 5 seconds. Your address is not usually considered private information, except in this context.

We used to have a thing called the phone book that put everyone's name, phone number, and address together in a book and sent it out. None of those is a piece of private information.
I fully expect that the service reviewed the article, and likely those interviewed as well to ensure they were happy with the level of detail disclosed.

> It's really a stretch to call something that's literally the only option "popular".

It’s not a stretch; it’s silly to say otherwise. Regardless of the rendering engine and the ability to make a 3rd-party browser the default on iOS which has been a thing for a few years now, Safari is the most popular browser on iOS and iOS runs on something like 1.5+ billion devices worldwide.

Normies don’t know and don’t care about the rendering engine when they use Firefox, Brave, Chrome, etc. on iOS and yet those browsers probably have single digit installed base on iOS.

And nothing would meaningfully change even if Firefox and Chrome ran natively on iOS.
