Fair point, but in defence of the author, I think there's a huge difference between having some women in positions of power and the attitude that people have towards women in daily life. I can totally imagine a society in which certain women from privileged background can rise to power (if, regarding north korea, you're talking about Kim Jong Un's sister, that's a great example), and yet the assumption most people have when they meet a woman is definitely not that she is someone powerful or to be wary of.

Also, what spies have is not 'power'. I wonder for example how many women there are in the high ranks of the army, even for the countries you listed and many others.
I think this is the first public occurrence of this term. Supposedly there are couples more that are independently named by users.
I don't think any sensible people thought Twitter was kept alive by huge amounts of intervention. You don't build systems like that. I had a side project which ran for a decade during which I barely looked at it. Because I built it that way.

However people things like moderation, sales, etc are a different issue. Degradation, if any, is likely to be in quality, not system crashes.
Just because healthcare is expensive in the US it doesn't mean nurses get well paid.

Then we're in agreement that taxes are a necessity. Can we also agree that taxes should be collected fairly (even if we might disagree on what a fair balance might be)?
Now if only there were a reliable way to do this with Python programs with a requirements.txt.

Last time I tried (maybe 2 months ago on NixOS 22.05), I found several different tools that claimed to be able to do this and they all failed in various ways; some failed quickly, others took a long time to fail. I ended up using my brain as an SAT solver and manually copying in nix expressions from older versions of nixpkgs that matched versions of the python libs that were needed.
Trump isn't a fascist! He's just "non establishment right"

Edit: I should probably point out this is sarcasm used to highlight the absurdity of the original posters "I'm fine with fascists ('non-establishment right') being back on twitter"
The sloppy definitions allow all sorts of stupid conspiracy theories to be "proven true" when they clearly aren't. Twitter's always limited reach of accounts, that's been in their TOS for 4+ years:

https://help.twitter.com/en/safety-and-security/tweet-visibi...

The conspiracy theory that Twitter shadow banned accounts to a level in which even people looking for their Tweets couldn't find them, remains false. Everything that everyone Tweets is visible to everyone who looks at their Timeline. This is explicitly how Musk promised to run the service, "Freedom of speech, not reach" and is basically how Twitter has operated for years with the exception that old Twitter banned people who repeatedly violated the TOS.
Ahh, well, it is the only one I use so, just a slight bias there :-D
Stopping humans from driving cars could save many lives. A million people worldwide, die in road accidents every year. Half are cyclists or pedestrians.

you hit in the nail in the head, Elon Musk probably lives in a world where only he exists as a person and everyone around are just NPC's. Or maybe he believe he is nietzsche's ubermensch and thus is above the morals which bind us normal folk.

Yeah I really think the banks backed this deal with the intention of carving up Musk because of the way he financed this. I don’t know enough about the subject to be confident but I wouldn’t be shocked if he loses control of Tesla in the long run because of this

These days lots of languages are single-team efforts, because producing high-quality production programming languages is an incredibly large amount of (difficult) work. It is really, really difficult, it takes many years, you constantly get shit on by people for everything, and if you're lucky you might get a tiny bit of money after a while. It isn't just coincidental complexity; programmers are actually incredibly demanding users with many needs. And so it isn't easy to find the money and people to perform multiple implementations, outside of very particular cases. Even the ratio of C/C++ programmers to high quality implementations that see significant production use is basically astronomical. And the unfortunate news is that alternative implementations don't often contribute very much to the overall production-language effort if they aren't of high quality or set out to achieve particular goals.

I used to work on the Haskell compiler GHC. Haskell has had many alternative implementations over the years. But they were often nowhere near the level of engineering quality of GHC, and nobody used them for nearly anything, unless they were graduate students exploring surface and language semantics. But many of them just used GHC instead, too. It wasn't for lack of trying either; lots of people wanted the standard for the language to work, I used to be on the standards committee for the language. So they were useful to some extent design space. But there are many, many, many other important concerns for a "production" programming language; robust feature support, good platform support, high quality code output, robust testing regime and code review, good library and API design, high quality debugging support, package management, editor support, all kinds of stuff. These also dovetail together; certain efforts at the semantic level are nice but if they don't have a good story for debugging or something, they might not make the cut.

Really this seems like one of those requirements that's always impossible to satisfy in some sense, a kind of catch-22. If you're one of the 800lb gorilla programming languages (Java, C++, Python), you might have one or two "production" implementations and if you're lucky the ratio of usage is better than 80/20, but they exist and therefore you are a "production-ready" language. Nobody else has the money to staff engineers for multiple alternative languages (OCaml, Elixir, TypeScript, Go) despite them funding billions of dollars worth of software, so they still aren't "professional" and therefore do not qualify. I get it, and it's not for zero merit, but I think it's mostly just a cat-and-mouse game, at the end of the day.

gcc-rs existing of course has many other benefits beyond this; people know GCC so they can now have a free Rust compiler for their CPU ports, etc. This is still good. But really it's still the exception. I do think this is a good effort but I consider this sort of thing one of those basic folklore issues that's actually much more nuanced in practice.
That would be a lot more work (because of the need to accept exceptional paper submissions, and get them into the required format) and cost for both the courts and every law office that might have need to file in federal court, for potentially very little benefit, since the processes filings support are human processes for the foreseeable future, independently of the data format.
The Tesla brand approval rating is more negative than positive for the first time:

Social media company censoring and so-called "fact checking" really stepped up around 2018. That's when Congress hauled heads of social media companies into Congressional hearings and both Democrats and Republicans demanded that they start filtering out "bad" information, or else Congress would make them! In a strictly legal sense this was not "compulsion", but given Government's power to destroy their businesses if it chose, this was essentially government outsourcing censorship.
I have a hard time believing this is sincere:

> Dude bought a company.

Approximately nobody thinks Twitter is just another company. Clearly Musk doesn't think that; he's waxed poetic about how important it is to the future of humanity. Its hundreds of millions of users don't think it's just another company either. It demonstrably played an important role in journalism and public discourse.
Anyone giving him the benefit of the doubt has apparently been asleep for the past half decade.
It makes him look bad to those who hated him already (many commentators here), but to be frank it doesn't really matter.

The previous bans were controversial because they marginalized a voice. It was never about the specific people in question. It was basically invalidating the voice of many people since these were highly influential people or politicians.

There's a huge difference. I'm not taking a position on those particular people in any way, just saying that most people don't care about ElonJet in the slightest and why catching him on technicality here doesn't matter (in my humble opinion).
I imagine he lives a very lonely life in most ways that are important. Like a king of old. EVERYONE is an antagonist that wants something from him and his motivations run very self centered.
Yeah that's a little scary! It's like "There will come soft rains" but with a toddler kickin' around the house.[1]

Unfortunately, people often struggle with the difference between "can" and "should"...
Isn't there regulation that requires retention of data like this? That's why it's common to see messages along the lines of "we should meet in person to discuss this further".

In fact, how does data retention rules specifically apply to apps that don't have large data retention or specifically have no data retention. Besides just making it harder to operate, are there penalties for companies using things like free version of Slack with short windows, or Snapchat/Telegram/Signal with self destructing messages?

Can I attach a GPS tracker to your car and publish the coordinates in real time to the internet?

Of course I can't. It would be illegal.

Not because of disingenuous "car has a right to privacy" logic but because any judge would conclude that by tracking a car you're tracking the owner of the car and the owner does have a right to privacy.

Similarly, if the name @ElonJet doesn't give out the purpose: the account is tracking Elon by way of tracking his jet.

Morally speaking, the justification for transparency of jet location was to track them in order to increase safety of flying.

It wasn't to enable tracking of rich people.

It's legal but it's a loophole.

And somehow Elon hate completely overshadows the fact that the guy running @ElonJet account is an asshole.
You're right; that's a very simple firewall rule. But if I can't access a working DNS server over the internet, then I don't have internet service, and whatever kind of provider I have, it's not an "internet service provider".
On a more serious note. Prompt injection attacks are very real and can make it appear as though your product/service is producing and hosting harmful content. How would LLM-based applications mitigate this?

No, everyone knew that this system existed for quite some time. The site's UI even surfaces it by hiding some filtered tweets behind a "view more" button. The conspiracy theory is that the feature was used specifically to silence conservatives for their political views, or that huge conservative accounts that showed up everywhere were somehow suffering from it when their latest brain enhancement pill sale didn't go well enough.
I agree with everything you're saying here. I'm sorry others do not see grit in you from their perspective. That must be a continually frustrating struggle.

How do you work to know yourself and your limits? How do you know if you're being lazy or recuperating? If grit isn't about each day then what psychological stat is?
The disclosures actually showed that the Trump government and Biden campaign both requested removals. But only one of those two is a government entity and (oddly) evidence of that government entity's request was left out of the disclosures. Talk about burying the lede.
People are super dangerous in cars, so it's nice to have technologies to make driving safer.

I also enjoy driving, but I love the adaptive cruise control in my Toyota, because it makes the most frustrating kind of driving (lots of traffic on the highway) super easy to deal with. It makes me much less hesitant to make the trip from Austin to San Antonio, because rather than having to be hyper-vigilant for two hours due to constantly shifting stop-and-go traffic, I can let the car control the speed and instead focus more on watching out for crazy drivers.

I am not sure whether I feel the same way about full self-driving. At that point, in my mind, you'd be better off taking a train, since you're very likely to become super distracted/tired with nothing to focus on. That said, if it makes the roads safer in aggregate, I'm not against it.

Given the kind of information we see in this article and other factors, though, I'll never buy a Tesla. I'll wait until it hits the major car manufacturers.

First off, this is one of the coolest things I've ever seen.

Second, judging from the author's github [0], I'm guessing this was made in Haxe [1], which is a language often used to make games. I'd looked at Haxe before, but I hadn't realized that it has a lot of Ocaml-like features. I think I need to give it a try on my next prototype project!

Cool to know! It’s a low prio project for me for sure, but good to know it’s been done.

Finding “full articles” is certainly a pain. I have little idea how reeder does it.
Most doxing involves using publicly available information to harass others... and yet that behavior is frowned upon everywhere. I don't think anyone here honestly believes that account was used for anything other than to encourage the stalking and harassment of Elon Musk because the account owner simply doesn't like him. I also don't think anyone here seriously believes that stalking and harassing people is "free speech". I do believe people here are letting their class bias show.
> I know this site will always continue to support Musk

I agree with your other points, but this is missing the mark. There is some degree of editorial control over what “this site” publishes, but none on the comments (you’d had to go quite far to get banned). “This site” is not a homogenous single-minded entity. And you don’t have to dig far to see both stories and comments very critical of Musk. I happen to share that point of view, but that’s besides the point.

Tens of millions? Where are these numbers from? Decades ago maybe local government could get away easily with buying out residents but certainly very hard now.

> In reality the central bank doesn't lend to banks.

Central banks absolutely do lend to banks through discount window lending and other means.

> In Bank A it is DR Bank B, CR Customer 2 Deposit. In Bank B it is DR Customer 1 Loan, CR Bank A. They can't clear interbank payments unless that happens.[1]

There is not a one true way to do interbank lending, since it depends on regulation and the underlying market infrastructure used - therefore it is not a fact that banks arbitrarily 'create money' to do so.

Banks can lend to each other using central counterparty clearing houses (CCP) as intermediates, in that case, Bank A and Bank B will have accounts with the CCP, who will do all the clearing & settlement.

My point is that there are other ways of organizing the same information to perhaps reveal unexpected connections. From the same link, a 'physicists periodic table' - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternative_periodic_tables#Th...

And really, i guess everything is physics if you get specific enough.
I don't love the proliferation of SAAS, but your analogy isn't very solid. You don't pay upkeep on your hammer because it doesn't change. If it gets damaged, you do pay for repairs (although you probably don't go to the manufacturer). And if the manufacturer came out every X months to replace the head with some new alloy, you'd have to pay for that, too.

The point is that it's difficult to get software that is static anymore. The reason it's considered a service isn't _because_ it has a subscription model, it's because a product owner and an engineering team are constantly making bug fixes, improvements, security updates, etc. The problem with the model isn't that it exists - the problem is that we don't have a choice. When security is not an issue (like with MS Word), I'd take the single purchase almost every time.
