This is the way it should be. Older generations that have been exposed to technology longer should be more savvy about its use and its perils.

The only reason younger generations in the past (millennials) had more skill with high technology than old folks is because the old folks didn’t grow up around tech or computers. This was a fluke. The bar for being considered tech savvy was much lower. Building a simple web page would make you seem like the Wizard of Oz. Nowadays it’s just cute.

But someday millennials will be very old, and after a lifetime of using computers they should still be more tech-savvy than some young kids that know nothing except tapping a screen; the result of a lifetime of exposure to ever changing tech.

There is a possibility though that we have made tech so easy to use and abstract to the user, that new generations might always see it more as “magic” than for what it really is, meaning millennials may be the only generation that on average possesses greater understanding for how technology works and how to fix things; vestiges from their early experiences with the analog era.
The testimony literally begins:

> I would like to start by formally stating, under oath:

> I fucked up.

The second quote is a pretty apt summary of what feels like roughly half the document (I didn't specifically count pages)--there's a lot of criticism of the Chapter 11 bankruptcy team, especially that he felt they were ignoring the offers he had received to keep FTX alive.

Indeed, to the extent that it's a misrepresentation of the testimony, it's because it doesn't refer to another key focus of the testimony "it was actually CZ's fault!"
“fish this information out” makes it sound like it's hard to use any of the common websites which do the same thing. If the goal is security, he either needs to stop flying a personal jet or accept the cost of having adequate physical security where he does. Anyone who was incapable of looking up the jet's location without Twitter is unlikely to be competent enough to pose more risk than they would, say, staking out one of the buildings he frequents.
> I have no idea why your comment received downvotes.

I have to agree re: the parent. It's a perfectly fine opinion to hold, though it's one I don't share. I asked and he/she told me.

However, republishing an email by Richard Stallman, just like Richard Stallman, might seem a little excessive.

Why? I think it's because although just as it's fine to be an atheist, it always seems weird when someone brings it up at dinner parties. We were discussing the whys and wherefores of a new Rust compiler. I'm not sure any lengthy expressions of our licensing religion or lack thereof is a positive contribution.
My intuitive takeaway here is that people who grew up with all this incredible technology, do not appreciate the power it bestowed upon us (because "that's just how things are"). Secondary, using all this tech growing up deprived people of learning certain things, the tech made it too easy, now even a middling effort is too much. Lastly, and this one is timeless: they're too cool to care.

GPT summary of the article:

- Gen Zers are not as comfortable with new technology as older generations would typically presume

- 1 in 5 18-29 year olds in the study felt judged when experiencing technical issues, compared to 1 in 25 for those aged 40+

- 25% of 18-29 year olds would avoid participating in a meeting if they thought their tech tools might cause disruption, compared to 6% for those aged 40+

- Organizations should ramp up their technical training programs for their youngest workers

- Gen Zers may be accustomed to digital environments, but this doesn't always carry over to professional tools

- U.K. workers rate digital skills as the most crucial for the current and future workplace, but 27% do not feel confident in their digital capabilities

- Future workers lack awareness of the importance of digital skills

- The U.K. is facing a digital skills crisis and must educate parents and children on the importance of digital skills

- Gamification is a critical learning and development facilitator

Why Hasn't Twitter Crashed Yet?
This is a technical question really. With such deep layoffs, I think a lot of people expected that Twitter would fall apart as a service pretty soon. That hasn't happened, and the site and app, at least to me seems to be running perfectly fine. World Cup coverage has been totally normal.

Could some engineering folks chime in about how this is possible?

> People are acting like Musk changed course for no reason

I'm not sure that's the case. I think many people, myself included, assumed Musk's course was always "just do what's best for me." So he's really just holding to that.

You should give people in your life the benefit of the doubt, but large corporations and billionaires usually found success by acting in their own interest so they will just keep on doing that.
Thiel's political philosophy of freedom is minoritarian, meaning the few rule over the many. To better establish greater freedoms for those few, at the expense of the majority.

This is related to laissez faire and right-wing libertarianism.
Exactly what mine was designed for. It keeps my contacts, appointments, and todos in check.

I have major, major issues with distractibility, so having a device that only makes sound when something actually important needs to happen is helpful. I find even with notifications reduced on my phone about half the time when it makes a noise it's not actually important. As such I turn off my phone for the majority of the day.

Additionally, once I clear a notification on the Palm it's not like I can then fall into web browsing on it.

Whether one believes it's a thing or not, I've been diagnosed with severe inattentive ADHD and I find simple, limited use devices really do help me stay on track.
I read the press release as a layman and they made it abundantly clear that this is not a power generation plant, and that they have a long ways to go.

I think they did a fine job describing what the achievement was without overpromising.
I think that is a misleading quote. He made actual profits, albeit by unscrupulous (but legal and very common) methods. There was nothing like a ponzi scheme, the prosecution just wanted to say a crime that was well known at the time. Along the way he made false statements to investors, and he was so gross and unpopular they were able to get a conviction the "victims" were not even interested in, but only on two securities technicalities and only because the jury wanted to get him on something. He was acquitted of 5 other more serious charges.

This is a great example of a public show trial, where they basically make an example of someone while allowing companies to engage in the same disgusting behavior without any attempt to discourage it.
Flight information provided to the FAA is considered public information. This is funded with taxpayer money, and is not privy to privacy.
Taking public and legally published information from one website and putting it on another is not free speech? Excuse me?

This is a evergreen meme:

Step 1: People old enough that it's deliberate effort for them to learn new things, can't be arsed to learn something new

Step 2: Older people notice the younger people still in the "absorb as much about the world as possible" phase of their life are more skilled with the new thing

Step 3: Older people assume the younger group is uniquely skilled with the thing

Step 4: some time passes

Step 5: *surprised pikachu face* they're not
When Wilbur and Orville discovered flight, we all thought flying was impossible. Then, when they proved it was possible, everyone ignored it for a while, thinking that freight airplanes or passenger planes could never happen. And then it changed the world. This discovery is HUGE because we can now have the potential to create as much energy as we need. But it will take time for it to change the world. But it is an enormous discovery that most are just beginning to understand.
> But it's also common to use "CLI" to include "TUI" programs [...].

It is indeed common, and (IMO) it is harmful, as TUI programs are just GUI programs in disguise. They do have two unique strengths: readily accessible over a serial console or an SSH session; and being the lowest common denominator of GUI programming. But they don't share any of the typical (desirable) qualities of CLI programs; typically, any CLI features (if present at all) are an afterthought.

Fast, efficient, and battery-friendly browser... So far so good. Based on Electron... What?

How can it be possible for an Electron based browser to be faster / more efficient / battery-friendlier than the other mainstream ones?

Sounds like bullshit. We need to see some benchmarks.

Coincidentally, the @TweetTweaker account — which AFAIK was the first to call wide attention [0] to Elon buying up twitter shares right after his $5k offer to @ElonJet was rebuffed — is currently suspended. Its last public interaction was around Nov 6, 2022 [1]

i probably overstated my point by saying drywall has no shear strength, but we seem to agree that drywall < plaster & lath[0] < plywood in that respect. i'd suggest you've also overstated the strength of drywall as "significant". it's not nothing, but against an earthquake, it's approximately nothing. plywood backing, of course, is the minimum required by code for earthquake resistance.

plaster & lath is harder to work with, but has many superior qualities (re: moisture, sound, heat, malleability) that it makes it worth it in many residential cases (not so much commercial, where reconfiguration is more frequent).

If you're just porting the code to a new language, the process can be significantly faster than writing it from scratch.

But if you're also re-interpreting the code, which seems to be Donny's approach, you can get bogged down with the discrepancies. The more the two diverge, the harder it is to debug discrepancies and keep track of updates in the upstream code.

I'm also porting a static analysis tool from an interpreted language to Rust, but it's a fairly straightforward port and I've been able to stick to schedule pretty well.
So are phone numbers and addresses if you look hard enough, but Twitters policy “or they claim” is to protect against doxing and such right?
I don’t see that as a fair equivalent - it’s a legal broadcast, it’s not obscured or private by any means. Every time that plane changes destinations it’s a legal requirement to put that information out into the open.

He just doesn’t like it, so goodbye freedom of speech.
This was similar to my take. Is the issue that they aren't as tech savvy? Or is the issue that they are more likely to feel ashamed? Maybe older workers feel more comfortable in their roles?

I have come across a mountain of references talking about "digital natives" in the past, but I don't recall any of them talking about the fact that "tech" and "digital" is usually about the UI first. Nobody is going to feel comfortable on a UI they haven't experienced. The more non-standard a UI feels, the more there will be an uncomfortable learning curve. And of course, no comfort with the UI will help you with background fundamentals, such as troubleshooting your internet connection.

Free speech is subject to rules?

Because Twitter had rules and they enforced those rules which led to bans/suspensions...and people were upset about that on free speech grounds.
I tried it on mobile and it's interesting that quite a lot of websites are broken. Many tapping workflows I had in Chrome on Android are fully broken in Firefox. From simple deepl.com to Google products that look like they dropped FF support.

Even Reddit on Firefox PC crashes occasionally (the whole site turns white while browsing). Reddit on FF on Android is barely browsable.
Private jets don't get privacy by FAA rules. If anybody has an issue with that, they can either take it up with FAA or stop using a private jet. Banning an account on Twitter isn't doing anything.
Yes there is, it's called the UN Security Council. Within certain thresholds of course due to practical limitations.
Fwiw, I read it the same way as nateb2022 at first. It took a second read to realize there was another interpretation. This is why writing is hard!
For bugs don't see "open advocacy" site. Because a lot of it a poorly rebranded Chrome propaganda. For example, decrying lack of support for device/hardware APIs which are all Chrome-only non-standards that both Apple and Mozilla will never support.

The site does throw in a few legitimate complaints (like IndexedDB), but otherwise it's poor quality.
> Several concurrent arms races in the Middle East, Asia, and Europe

Which is to say, possible future proxy wars between the great powers where MAD will supposedly restrict conflict intensity. See below.

> A high intensity conflict in Ukraine

What's going on in Ukraine is a bog standard cold war style proxy war. The NATO plan is basically to turn it into another Afghanistan for the Russians. It's the exact thing that MAD is meant to keep from spilling over into a world war between the principals.

> China threatening a land invasion into Taiwan

This is more interesting. US conventional forces almost certainly have no hope of beating China that close to home. Therefore, any effective US response would require nuking China and China is presumably deterring that with their nukes. There is an argument to be made here that a non-nuclear Chinese military would be in Taiwan's best interests. However, I see no scenario where either a nuclear or non-nuclear China and a non-nuclear USA is in Taiwan's best interests. So while the MAD case isn't the best case for Taiwan here, it's also not the worst.

In case it's not clear - MFA is Multi Factor Authentication, and this one is for you, the developer, to use within your own apps

The neat thing about this one is that it flows all the way through to the JWT so that you can use it in a Postgres Row Level Security Policy:

create policy "Enforce MFA for all end users."
on table_name
as restrictive
to authenticated
using ( auth.jwt()->>'aal' = 'aal2' );

You can see the `aal`, which is "Authenticator Assurance Level". This is aal1 for "no MFA", aal2 is 2 factor auth, etc...

I don't think this is the case at all, my brother and I are at opposite ends of the GenZ age scale and we both had full-on computer labs in school, winxp/7 for myself and win8/10 for him. We didn't go to posh, expensive schools either.

I think this comment parallels the same attitude that older generations take about tech issues in the linked article, where they don't feel shame for having 'poor' computer skills since they didn't grow up with it.

Out of pocket maximums and limits (or aggregate limits) are two different concepts. Once the insurance plan's limit has been reached, it doesn't matter how much you've paid out of pocket.

The ACA does prohibit these limits for certain "essential health benefits", but there's a lot of wiggle room that insurance providers will take advantage of.
I like the minimalist UI, it should be a default other browsers too.
The answer is: no and yes.

No, in that you're completely correct that network positioning and exposure does not inherently increase the vulnerability a computer has. It does not introduce new flaws.

Yes, in that it's not just about vulnerability. A computer turned off may be in theory vulnerable, but in practice not exposed. Exploits happen when vulnerabilities meet opportunities. The more a computer is exposed, the greater the opportunity for exploitation. Making something publicly available, such as it offering up a website, is a pretty dramatic way to increase its exposure. As you might imagine, trying to perform useful work with data coming in over a network provides many more chances to try to exploit something than silently dropping all inbound connections. In extreme cases, you get things like the numerous worms of the 2000s.

It is precisely because of this excellent point you have made that modern networks are designed with layers of security. That there are other vectors is a concern you wisely and rightfully point to, but each vector is concerning and the ease with which any given one can be guarded or exploited is considered.

tl;dr: There's a substantial and very meaningful difference.
