It was odd that someone like Jack could make such a naive statement. Makes me think he's been a bit disconnected from all this for a while.

Maybe he assumed that illegal content was an obvious exception. However, illegal content differs between countries. And severe censorship is usually of illegal content.

But if read literally, its pretty abhorrent.

If Musk wasn’t insinuating that, then why did so many people interpret it that way and send death threats? Also, why hasn’t Musk corrected the record and apologized (he hasn’t right?) if that’s not what he meant?

Or maybe that’s exactly what he meant, and the result of the person getting death threats was what he intended to happen?

Maybe if this were the first time Musk weaponized accusations of pedophilia and had apologized for past and current behavior I could give him the benefit of the doubt. But he hasn’t, so I can’t.

Twitter was already, by all means, up in the air.

Twitter is a highly politicized environment where you get treated differently based on your views. Since it got a new captain, all those who were in power (meaning they didn't, on average, get treated unfavorably by the platform) are now claiming that the platform is dead.

I dare to say the erratic emotion is on the side of those who say Twitter is dead.
Your street address is public data too, but you probably don’t want it on Twitter.
I’m as anti-Electron as the next person, but my arguments against it are due to the bloat and disrespectful resource usage of using an entire web browser to show local app UI.

But if what you need is an actual, literal web browser, then I’m not sure I see why this is a bad choice.
It's certain that there will be fragmentation. There isn't any gnu project, which hasn't added its own extensions to standards or specs. Few examples: gcc front end for C/C++, bash, grep..

Vodafone are on my blacklist, I had a few bad experiences with them years ago, over a decade ago now I think about it, and vowed to never use them again.

Does anyone else keep a personal blacklist of companies you won't buy from / do business with? I feel like I should write it down some day.
Standards are necessary and help of course. But the real power always lies with the implementations. There is no compliance without enforcement.

For example, C++ has a standard, but compliance is all over the place. Even Fortran has the same problem. The web also had a standards body (W3C) but eventually that was completely ignored and became irrelevant.
We wouldn't think of doing it. This is the kind of thing your auditors would see from outer space. If you're doing this and you don't have auditors, you're lying on your self-assessment questionnaire. Either way your merchant status is in jeopardy.

They May as Well Grow on Trees: The Future of Genetically Engineered Livestock
My main counter argument would be that most of the tasks I do on macOS require/are better done full screen.

And if you are on macOS doing any kind of design work, this is your mode of working. People using Photoshop or any 2D/3D DCC etc. You use all the screen space real estate on any number of screens you have.
But even if I write code I run VSCode in full screen. If I have a dual screen setup I usually have one screen with two code editors, mini map & folders + terminal on screen two. But that's it.

But even assuming you run apps side by side/stacked whatever so you could actually visually see how non-native/different they look. Is that the real issue on macOS today? Personally the main gripe I have is that -- and kindly pardon the tangent --
macOS native window management is shite.
One of the first things people that come from a *nix desktop buy/install, when they switch to macOS, is a proper (possibly tiling) window manager.

But back to widgets/look: in DCC apps the main sort of dialog you interact with are attribute editors where you change properties of an object or node.

I like to refer to an issue on the egui crate which has some of the best out-of-the-box support for this kind of widget composition[1].

Apple Human Interface (AHI) guidelines do not have any handrails on how these attribute editors should look or be done.
The best you can do is go with dialog AHI guidelines and these fall short for this sort of window.
I can go into great detail here why but it's beside the point. If you read my comment on the egui issue I linked above (same handle I use on HN) you may get an idea where I am coming from.

Most Human Computer Interface (HCI) guidlines for various platforms are based on typical late 90's early 2k desktop apps.

They were never updated to reflect on newer paradigmns for UX that evolved in recent years. Blame the fragmentation of the desktop and Electron & co.

IMHO this is the first problem the OS vendors need to solve before we can blame developers of UI libs to not make them look 'native enough'.

Amazon S3 Security Changes Are Coming in April of 2023
Web apps could, potentially, de-monopolize mobile devices. But what's the point? These devices are generally considered disposable. Most consumers (approximately all of them, in fact, aside from a few hard-core OSS and hardware hacker types) don't see any negative impact from these "monopolies".

Aside from that web app technology is of poor quality in almost every important domain: architecture, efficiency, stability and security. "Native" mobile apps have overlapping problems in these domains, too, but web apps are generally going to be strictly worse. No thanks.

Sentinel-1 is the current workhorse for all sorts of InSAR things, but as you mentioned, the resolution is pretty meh for things like damage assessment. Beyond InSAR, people have been doing change detection on GRDs to get damage proxy maps, but that provides areal information rather than instance.

You're basically asking why you'd want object files. They're a container of (usually) relocatable machine code. You can inspect or modify them with nm [1] or objcopy [2]. You can link them with object files generated from other programming languages to mix languages. Maybe you have a custom linker or environment that requires you to convert an ELF or COFF object file to some custom variant. There are lots of reasons.

Which bank? FTX? FTX was in his own words an "exchange." An exchange holds customer funds in custody for immediate redemption. A bank lends customer funds out and can't meed a redemption surge.

Best laptop for someone who refuses to shut 1000s of tabs
The thing is that people are cherrypicking quotes and dropping conclusions without any regard for the facts on the ground.

Right now, you conclude that this was a personal vengeance by Musk himself. Whilst this conclusion isn't verified at all. We don't know why the suspension is there. It's in fact unlikely a personal action as Musk has reinstated some of his biggest enemies before.

The "free speech absolutist" quote is bullshit. It's a random interview quote taken out of context, that never applied to running Twitter. You can be a free speech absolutist as a person whilst not applying this to Twitter. For the simple reason that you can't. It doesn't work with advertisers and is downright illegal in some jurisdictions, like the EU. Musk has readily admitted that and aims to "piss off both political extremes equally" whilst "elevating the silent 80%".

Of these, Google is by far the worst in my opinion. Mainly because they don't sell any other product. *You* are their primary product.

Amazon is eating an increasing chunk of Google's lunch. They promote advertising in about the only way it really makes sense to me --- on their web site --- where I go to express an interest in buying a specific product.

Ever been to a city? Good luck trying to even make a phone call.
Having worked in the field for 6 years, the estimated cost per shot at NIF is roughly $1MM. The estimated cost for a day of shots at OMEGA is $250k-$300k.

The cost per target varies a lot due to the precise manufacturing tolerances and the methods to get them. For example, the sphere with the fuel in it is made by dropping liquid glass from a drop tower. And then metrology is done on hundreds and hundreds of glass spheres.

So though the electricity might cost that, we are talking about a building in which just the lasers and their optical paths take up 3 foot ball fields of advanced warehouse space. And the target chamber is at ultra high vacuum, which is 10 meters in diameter. There are also countless diagnostics, computers, and other electronics, the lights for all the facility, and the number of people required to run it so this delicate experiment goes off without a hitch.

Honestly, it's almost not worth talking about as a power source anytime soon. Even if Q > 2 on NIF there are countless engineering problems that would have to be overcome (and haven't really been thought too hard on in the ICF field) to get a power reactor out of this tech.

My two cents, look towards MIT and CFS for news on their SPARC tokamak and plans for ARC tokamak. Based on some data I have seen, SPARC should hit Q>1 pretty easily. With some estimates of reaching Q> 3 to 9. And before you scoff at it, this reactor design is using magnetic tech that has proven it can withstand and produce a 20T magnetic field! In MCF, field strength and heating are the two key metrics. To put this into perspective, the massive tokamak being built in Europe has a MAX possible field strength of 13T, assuming it's run to the edge of it's theoretical design limitations. The SPARC one hasn't even been run to it's design limitations, most likely due to the mechanical stresses a 20T field produces in a 3-4 meter D coil.
The comments about engineering ethics are missing the point. Gary Wang and Nishad Singh are criminals who have each *personally* stolen $100mm or more from FTX customers. The fact that they also wrote code to hide this theft seems irrelevant.

In regards to your first question, the word you're looking for in google-able energy industry jargon is "dispatchable". And yes, dispatchability of intermittent generation is achieved in a couple of ways in contemporary electricity networks:

1. Deliberately backing off wind or solar generation from full capacity to provide reserves for demand spikes, transmission/generator outages, etc. This means other generation that may otherwise not have generated at all over that period, is brought online to cover the shortfall.

2. Co-locating grid-scale batteries at intermittent generation sites ("hybrid generation facilities" in energy industry jargon) to cover short-term contingency events.

The day to day value is probably not even a remotely practical metric for this sort of taxation. Average yearly value or quarterly value or something like that seems much more sensible. You can’t expect anything to work if people are worried about daily price fluctuations causing them significant impact. This isn’t meant to be some sort of punishment after all, just the logical extension of steadily increasing high income tax brackets to a point where we as a society agree you don’t need any more money and the tax rate becomes 100%.

If it worked with strait income it wouldn’t be too hard but at the level of wealth we’re talking about most of the money isn’t income it’s just capital… a big pile of capital assets of value they have control over which they can leverage small portions off to take loans against for cash to do whatever they want at an interest rate lower than the rate of growth in the value of their capital assets… because they’re never a risky loan applicant and the whole system tilts towards them almost as if money had some weird form of financial gravity.

So while I’m no super genius economist and political wizard with all the answers to how it can be done, I just think it’s important we recognise that there’s a point where these people have so much money the system is broken for them and if we believe in the equality of all people, that all people are born equal, we should be trying to change the system in a way to rectify the problems their wealth causes.

There would be years of arguing all the details about trusts and percentages and inheritance and family control and super PACs and even if it’s constitutionally allowed since there’s precedent that money is speech and this could be argued to be an unreasonable restriction on the sort of speech (money) a person can have (not more than a billion dollars worth)… it’s a massively complicated question I’m just saying I think we can agree it’s well and truly kicked in by the time you have a billion dollars and maybe we can all get together and work out a way we agree on that stops people getting more power and money for free due to capital interest rate returns each day than many of us will ever have in a lifetime.
The per-volume claim rings alarms in my head.

If it produced a quarter of the heat of the human body per volume, its temperature would be lower as well (less than 37 degrees Celsius).[1] This is obviously not the case.

[1] Obviously heat and temperature are not the same, I know that. But when something’s temperature is higher than another thing’s, then heat is exchanged along that gradient. Meaning if the sun produced less volumetric heat than the human body, a human body placed within the sun would warm the sun and cool the human.
