Dismissing people with a label to invalidate their argument is ad hominem and is an eternally weak counterargument.
could I get a quick example? let's say the top of the square is:

A * A->B
-------- <------> f(x), where f:A->B and x:A
B

what does that interval map onto on the bottom of the square?
is the inverse map also interesting?

Edit: are you familiar with Vicker's work? if so, would it help understand (I have it saved off but have not gotten into it yet) the content of the square? https://www.cs.bham.ac.uk/~sjv/talks.php
> Isn't Musk, or any other individual, allowed to change his mind?

of course he can, but if the change is "you know I used to say unfettered 'free speech' was the most important thing in the world and lack of it was killing western society? I've changed my mind, I don't want a twitter account publishing where my private jet is" I'd expect him to have to actually say that out loud and expect him to get a lot of shit for having such weak principles.
I think it is anglocentric and kind of outrageous, just that it's so deep rooted that most efforts are at most useless and every past attempts at correcting it basically had been pure annoyances. Those thinkings that translation is word-for-word dictionary lookups and that programming language is US English, are just annoyances.

Perhaps with current level and awareness of multi-lingualism in computer science/engineering, this whole discussions about anglocentrism in computing and possible solutions is too early to take place; very few are even aware, much less accept, that the spoken language active during a decision making affects its result for multi-lingual people.
What are your sources on the coup being made-up ?
I don't know much about it but it does seem credible given the turkish military coup history. Especially since traditionaly, the army has taken the side of the CHP, oppposing Erdogan.
The rise and fall of peer review
Facebook is a walled garden, but Twitter is indexable and searchable. It has become a megaphone for celebrities, companies, individuals, and institutions.
I don't think it would count as theft, but if the original advertising/product information included the online components as a feature, then they could be sued for that. I remember when Sony pulled the Linux support from PS3 as that was a similar situation although even more anti-consumer.
Wait, where did he say this?

To me it doesn't just feel like extortion, it straight up is extortion.
With Microsoft's DirectPlay, it was even worse, since only the lobby functioned in a client-server mode. Once the game started, it went full P2P and all players without port forwarding timed out.
If unlicensed copying is theft, than switching off a required server is murder, I guess.

PhD student solves 2,500-year-old Sanskrit problem
I think there's a distinction to be made between using Twitter as one form of conveying information to some target audiences, and using Twitter as the primary or even sole form of conveying that information. The latter is extremely problematic, and I think is often what people are thinking of when they complain about political, public sector, and academic use of Twitter. It does seem unacceptable, for example, that some public service providers (transport, municipalities, etc) do actually use Twitter as the only practical way to receive up to date information on service changes and outages, and that many politicians now seem to use it as both their primary means of political communication and the first place they post official letters and actions.

Here, however, it just seems to have been another outreach mechanism for the university.
All of your assumptions are untrue.

(1) Governments don't need unlimited money, just to allocate what they have better

(2) For-profit hospitals don't pay better wages because they are for-profit. They exist for the owners/stock-holders, not the employees, who are viewed as 'human capital', not partners. There is no reason a for-profit hospital would pay its workers any more than any other, and many reasons why it would pay less

(3) People who want to 'make bank' are not nurses -- they just want to be paid fairly for the work they do, and to be able to have decent work conditions. The ones who are in it for the money are not going to be in the intake at the emergency department no matter what country or profit/social system is in effect

(4) Why would they need more taxes to pay more wages? They could take taxes they already spend on something and move it to wages, or they could borrow money, or remove inefficiencies, or print more money, or invest in the economy which will bring in more taxes -- it is not a binary decision

(5) And you think that running healthcare with CEOs and stockholders in charge who require profit growth every quarter and are used to working their staff to the point where it is just barely enough to not have everything break because that is the most profitable way to run a business -- is better?

Indeed. About a decade and a half ago I went backpacking, which plucked me out of my western European reality for a few months.

When I returned, I was very shocked every time I walked into any convenience store for a snack to realise that these places pretty much exclusively sold nothing but sugary, nutritionally void garbage wrapped in plastic. If there was a deli, the food products were the lowest imaginable quality.

At that moment it felt like a very large and problematic social addiction. I'd normalised this all my life.
> Dismissing people with a label to invalidate their argument is ad hominem and is an eternally weak counterargument.

it is nice to be reminded that I guess this isn't a uniquely low quality site, and that comments like yours were endemic on k5 and slashdot and usenet, too.

I of course wasn't dismissing anyone based on a label, I was dismising them based on their low quality posting:

> it truly is bizarre how many fanboys came here to post irrelevant and incorrect information to defend Musk

you're right I shouldn't discriminate, and I do also have disdain for the non-fanboys posting irrelevant and incorrect information

edit: verbosity
> What was originally intended to protect artists has turned into a rent-seeking game in which artists who can afford lawyers monetize the creativity of artists who can’t.

It's rather a rent-seeking industry; the vast majority of artists benefit only marginally from copyright; an original intent, to give composers an income who would otherwise be out of the monetary loop, is long forgotten; instead, early on it was all about protecting the publishers' business by restricting copies; ironically, composers (or musicians in general) today earn best, on average, when they work as a clerk for a copyright collecting society; I don't think patent and copyright law can be fixed; they can only make it even more complicated and unwieldy, so that it gets even further away from composers and authors, and instead plays into the hands of trolls or monopolists.

> fixing copyright law to accommodate works used to train AI systems, and developing AI systems that respect the rights of the people who made the works on which their models were trained

And then also charge each student of art for studying original works with the intent to create new works based on what they have learned to make a living? This idea can be extended in any direction and quickly leads to a system that is rather against an open society where people benefit from each other.

> "ICAO numbers change if your aircraft is enrolled in the PIA program"

Only through a manual process that sounds like it can take a month or so to complete.

Perhaps, in future, this could be solved with technology that automates generation/randomisation of Aircraft IDs, much like MAC addresses on phones and laptops are randomised to prevent tracking?

Next-generation ADS-B transponders could communicate with the FAA (or appropriate local authority) via satellite or mobile network to generate/request a new, random ID before every flight.

That’s not relevant to whether he’s a hypocrite. All that’s relevant is “would he have done the same thing if it was someone else’s location being tweeted out?”

Given he had no problem calling a random person a “pedo” knowing it would cause harassment, I’m going to go with “no.”

Someone really reinvented the CueCat from 2000/2001?
It’s essentially the same in the US for a large, multi-tenant building. Though in the US an apartment typically refers to a unit in a building with a single owner that rents the units and a condominium is a building where all the units are individually owned. In the latter case most states and/or municipalities require a condo association, much as you described, to jointly maintain the common elements of the building. Whereas in the case of an apartment building it’s much simpler as the owner of the building is responsible for all maintenance.

The weird thing is that I always felt that the NYT Best seller lists had this air of intellectualism about it. If you made that list, your book is popular with a more “high class crowd” than say, the number one on Amazon or best selling book in Walmart.

In reality, NYT tries really hard to reflect popular opinion and not some elite opinion.

Does anybody else have the same misconception or is it just me?

Radio is different due to the safety issues it raises. If they crank up the volume or engage in similar practices in an attempt to get attention, they by definition are distracting the listener. That's not the worst thing if you're watching TV, but much of the audience for radio is driving or working. It should be obvious what's wrong with practices designed to distract drivers in heavy traffic and workers carrying stuff up ladders.
I agree with you, but I believe it is the case that Elon has previously described himself as a free speech absolutist, so this whole episode is exhibit 487 in the case for Elon having no idea what he's talking about.
I remember the :CueCat too except it was a lot longer than 6 years ago.

A lot of public figures are under scrutiny like this.

You ask others to imagine what it’s like to have location shared without consent. But, you’re ignoring all the shit Elon does as well as all the ways he voluntarily forced himself into the public eye.

Elon wants the luxury of saying and doing anything he wants without accountability. This is a tiny way for the public to push back. No sympathy.
It’s public information… it’s also not his location, it’s the location of his jet
The number of people even capable of using this, let alone the number likely to use it, is infinitesimal.

People seem to have a grudge against radio and I honestly don't know why.

Can't speak for the radio in your area but in mine it's a total waste of spectrum. Terrible audio quality, eaten up with ads or utterly inane bumpers, and playing the same garbage every single day. My choices are rap that sounds the same as it did twenty years ago, rock songs that are literally the same as twenty years ago, the morning show with the two stupidest people I've ever heard, or NPR where I get to learn for an hour about how the new constitution of Nowheristan now has a section on water usage rights vis-a-vis goats vs sheep.

Elon Musk Says He Catches Leakers at His Companies
While not that unexpected, I'm curious to see if this will start a trend that other game publishers might follow. I'm mainly curious about when Blizzard will deem the cost-benefit analysis to swing in favor of shutting down their old battle.net service which hosts games like StarCraft 1, Diablo 2, and WarCraft 3.

For StarCraft 1 specifically (and its Remastered version), a few us have been building a custom server/launcher[0] which should at least ensure that the game/community doesn't completely die out. However, we still rely on Blizzard's online services to verify the in-game purchases, like HD graphics (the game will automatically stop rendering the HD graphics if you didn't log into Blizzard's services in the last 30 days).

It remains to be seen how this will be handled by Blizzard if (when?) the time comes.

To the topic at hand, why is that outrageous/flame bait? They seem to have pretty sane justifications, whereas most of the rebuttals seem to be focused on presumption of personal details. Not that I expect you to be immediately swayed or anything, but I don’t understand why you wouldn’t categorize that as disagreement rather than flame bait (am I missing some context?)
Offshore wind is proven tech at this point, to the point that there are commercial offshore wind farms that have been built without any subsidies. Mainly in Europe but starting also in the US. There is no major R&D necessary to make it happen, just scaling and cost engineering.

Unable to Decrypt a Message on Matrix
This specific circuit simulator does have some performance-related jank, but even if you ignore it, you can easily see where it breaks down, for example:

* If you look at the black/red wires going to the Arduino, they kind of overlap

* If you swap the black/red wires (so that one of them has a shorter distance to cover), you get visual artifacts

* It is trivial to make a wire unconnected while moving it to another hole (and instead just touching the plastic parts of the breadboard)

* Making even the most trivial modifications (eg. putting 5V directly through the diode) requires a lot of dragging, rotating, panning, and zooming to get it done (but hey, at least there’s smoke if you actually do that)

* There are many things that can go wrong, because the developers didn’t think about it; for example, the bottom power rails of the breadboard don’t actually work

* Making a modification to a running circuit is impossible, and switching between design and simulation modes takes time and does not always remember the camera position

All of those aren’t a problem in a 2D simulator. Some of them because the 2D simulator abstracts some things away better (eg. power sources or wires), some of them because the developers could invest more effort in the simulation logic, and some of them because the 3D simulator does a bad job at the real-life parts of it (eg. overlapping wires or putting the connector inside the hole).
