Moreover, I think that this erratic behavior is going to crater Tesla stock [1]. Regardless of your political leanings, Twitter Elon is showing signs of weakness, distraction, emotional decision making, and an inability to avoid suboptimal choices. In a very public forum, with all of the world watching and media stacked against him.

Elon is looking like he got suckered into buying Twitter and now has to play the difficult and mundane role of private equity turnaround so that he can recoup his -- and his investors' -- funds. It's a huge distraction from his more important businesses.

Folks are already asking him to step down as Tesla CEO [2]. Best to kick a dog while he's down.

I think Tesla has been overvalued for some time. It's not the only EV company in the world, and soon every company (and domestic production capacity worth its salt) will be pumping out EV options for consumers. This Twitter deal was the activation energy required to jostle the Tesla stock out of its lofty position.

I hope I'm wrong, and that things at Twitter begin to stabilize. I think that SpaceX is one of the most important companies in the world right now, and it needs a leader who can continue to push the boundaries of what was thought possible.

[1] I'm thinking of putting my money where my mouth is and buying puts, which is something I rarely do.

Replace Twitter with any other private company and see what you think.

For example, Valve is a private company that can ban anyone they like from Steam, but we wouldn’t hear this defense if a publisher get banned capriciously and lost their income.
So if someone goes around taking a picture of your vehicle everywhere you go you won't have any objections to that because you have no reasonable expectation of privacy and it's all publicly available information. Got it. I'm sure you'll stoically accept such behavior rather than scream for it to stop.

You do. Hammers rust, the handle may break. Practically all things have some kind of upkeep.
Sounds like a lot of feelings and not a lot of scientific thinking.
if it helps, you would have regretted in some part no matter what route you chose.
Why is it okay if Musk does it?

Consider the following: The Twitter files contains a lot of private information and outs employees whom have received direct harassment.

The ElonJet account contains publicly available information on a very accessible site. This does not make a statement about Musk nor does it tell who is inside the jet at the time.

Which is closer to doxxing?
Pump and dump is eternal. They just found a new way to do it.
Coping.

I had lists like yours in the 1990s, but working to make rent eventually expanded to use up all of my time. Now I practice meditation and stoicism, work on myself with bodybuilding and kickboxing, but have no expectation that things will improve.

That said, I didn't know about manifestation, or such basic principles as the difference between reason and meaning. So I believe that I inadvertently shifted into this difficult reality. In the end, all that matters is consciousness and being alive. So I silenced my inner monologue, experienced ego death and the dark night of the soul, and am putting my energy into reconnecting with love for all things. Practicing non-attachment and moving with the flow of life as things unfold with divine timing.

Loosely, imagine if everything was the opposite. Imagine if there were no billionaires, just rising median incomes and UBI. No dogma, no politics, just living life in peace. Being able to self-actualize and invent. Not.. whatever all this is. That's why I dream to let it all go and shift into the new age.
So we have a company headquartered in SF, and I think something like 98% of twitter's political donations went to democrats, and the employees acted as constant activists whenever the executives didn't take action against high level conservatives (I'll leave aside whether that action was justified or not).

Also, if you read the twitter files, the enforcement was fairly lopsided. Look what happened to @libsoftiktok -- constant labels and suspensions even though they admitted that they couldn't actually find rule breaks. They just didn't like the "intent". And when that account got doxxed -- which is dangerous and malicious -- the company did nothing.

I don't think you need to call it a liberal conspiracy, it's just very clear that twitter has/had a very particular bias based on the facts alone.
On the contrary, it makes a significant difference vs Chromium. Using Electron means having jettisoned a number of security protections that Chromium offers while exposing the system to the attacks those are designed to stop.

In design terms, this is a wonderful, beautiful, laudable project in pursuit of a great purity of vision.

In security terms, this is an exercise in recklessness. It's irresponsible to even suggest that people should try using it.

I never watched Twitch but this is true of myself for YouTube and Reddit.

I was never ‘happy’ when I scrolled through Reddit for 3 hours. (Reddit in particular was horrible for my mental health). I never watched 4 hours of YouTube when I had friends to go out with. Finally I realized that I felt much better when I cut those out and spent time on more important things.

All of these websites are trying to take as much of your attention as they can and it’s difficult to have a healthy relationship with them.
> You are saying the diver who was in the middle of risking his life to save children was an asshole that deserved to be called a pedophile by the richest may on earth.

Um. Did you read a different comment to mine or do you simply bucket comments into "pro" and "anti" and assign meaning based on that rather than their actual content?

I never said he was an asshole.

I never said he deserved to be called a pedophile. He certainly didn't in fact.

As a side note, the diver called a pedophile was not actually any of the ones going into the cave and thus was not risking his life (he knew the cave and gave advice to those who did go in). So I guess you DO get to learn something new.

Why would consumers care if they are sustainable?

I tried VW(+Skoda), BMW, and Stelantis(Citroen/DS/Peugeot models) "Autosteer" in past year(changing comanies, waiting for new company car to be build while having Hertz rentals), plus I had autosteer with adaptive CC in Skoda from 2018.

It got a lot better over the 2018 thing, that tried to crash itself on several roadworks, I actually almost scratch the car in first 100km I had it because of it.

My latest BMW works perfectly fine in German roadworks with bright yellow lanes,
Also all the stelantis cars I've driven (all 2020+ models) worked fine in that conditions.

Camera system has problems when there's fog, or direct sun in precise angles.

Yeah it's the right place, but I was talking about their (many) comments in this entire thread. A few have been been downvoted and might not be visible anymore. Basically this person is being a bit disingenuous, they've not entered the discussion - as they claim - with an open mind, looking to be challenged and the vibe from their comments in aggregate is decidedly pro-Musk. Nothing wrong with being pro-Musk on it's own, but they go a little above and beyond.

As an example, take a look at this thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33984555

There I basically say that Elon has flipped on a few things, this user has pretended to not be aware of any instance of this (!) and asked for any examples, someone raises a couple and their responses to that is fairly typical of a fanboi. Tbh I should just close the tab and go walk my dog, but it's a pretty interesting discussion and it's -3C outside so I'm sorta procrastinating :)
Sure.

Perceptual modes are specific mechanical stimuli we learned to recognize as specific sensations.

Some of them are: stiffness which is skin indentation and tendons strain in function of space, vibrations which is skin indentation in function of time for frequency above 10/20 hz.

These modes resides a bit on the neurophysiology of touch (how mechanoreceptors respond) and a bit on how we learned to recognize touch sensations.

The problem reside that the first thing you want to do is manipulate, not simply touch.

Manipulation is a bitch because it mostly needs small indentation of the skin which are 1-3 mm of continuous displacement at 1 mm resolution under the fingertip.

They piezo they are using displaces 1 mm at the resonance frequency, I imagine 150 hz (I believe?) or something similar, not in continuous (again, I believe).

Which means that a contact on the sensor is rendered as a local vibration, which requires a lot of mental gymnastic to think of it as a contact.

That is the haptic metaphor. Basically you expect an indentation and you get a vibration, and this sucks and for users.

If they got it in static displacement that is cool and might be something noteworthy
Tesla FSD may be bad, but no way it is that much worse than Cruise. Looks like they are inflating their data.
It's a Massachusetts standard, explained to me as an early safety procedure before GFCI was invented -- and probably dating back to early exposed wiring. Separation of water and voltage.

> What leads you to believe that the lack of alternatives leads to enabling "a lot of cool tooling"?

Rust projects have settled on Cargo, which gives them uniform way of building, testing, getting dependencies, docs generation (https://docs.rs), IDE support, etc. (https://lib.rs/development-tools/cargo-plugins)

Contrast this with C which has several compilers and plenty of build systems to choose from, often more flexible and advanced than Cargo, but the fragmentation means that C projects are snowflakes, and tooling needs to be configured for each project and compiler combo. For every build system X there's someone who says it sucks and you should be using Y instead.

However, I don't think GCC will cause similar fragmentation problems for Rust, because there are already 100K rustc+Cargo packages in existence, so it has no choice but to follow and be compatible with them.

lawyers in California are in a register, available to others in the profession. Over time, law practice diverges significantly, and the norms of those specialties are partly cultural and partly for saving-face or other sorts of soft-values. The truth is that half of what lawyers do involves serious-life-changing winners or losers, so there is a thick skin of indifference among many. With all that said - certain specialties of generally-rivalrous groups do keep careful track of the opposition names and faces, probably less careful track of ally names and faces. Some of those lawyers have a very, very good memory for these things. $0.02

The article expressly states that violent content is not allowed and was actively policed. Facebook moderators are not fully omniscient and omnipresent. That is not grounds for a $2 billion lawsuit. That fact that people died is sad, but ultimately immaterial to the arguments here considered.
Good! Even though part of me thinks it's an Idiot tax...
This was my experience as well. Simple windows with a button that increments a number are nice and understandable but if you try to get more complex controls working, you run into docs.

With C code often being unreadable, I found that Vala applications often have readable examples of how to use UI components. However, tooling support for Vala is extremely limited so experimenting with existing code may be a annoying. That said, I've had good experiences with opening these projects in Gnome Builder (once it got updated to work on my computer again).

If your component of choice doesn't have a Vala example, I'd resort to reading the documentation. Reverse engineering the API from the docs is often quite doable if you first look at how a component you do understand.

I've had similar problems, but worse, when I tried mixing Rust and Qt. I've never used Qt before so that doesn't help, but I found the API even less predictable in many cases, with some docs and examples several versions out of date.

I'd seriously consider just shipping a WINE'd Windows binary (using a tool like https://winepak.github.io/) for Linux targets with the current state of Rust GUI platforms. The amount of game UI/custom UI libraries out there is impressive but they all feel terribly wrong when I try to use them, in the same way most Flutter apps are terrible to use on desktop.
> faster and cheaper than old-fashioned DSL

Is that so? I didn't know. But I require internet connectivity anyway; being in a fixed location, I use a fixed connection. So I have FTTC. My VOIP-phone plugs into my router, so all I pay for is a local number, and maybe a local POTS connection at the other end. 5G may be cheap, but it's not as cheap as not buying 5G.

I think a reasonable policy would be you can't post the location of people against their will. Seems like a big security concern. Just because its publicly accessible by some means doesn't mean its okay to blast out.

If you agree its fine, would you apply the same reasoning to [favorite politician]? How about a bot that crowdsources the whereabouts of [politician] at any time?

I honestly would not have cared about the account being banned, except for the fact that Musk won points for nobly saying he would not ban the account.
What a coincidence. I too lived during the era of open directories... and it was horrifyingly stupid. We got our number delisted as soon as possible because we didn't need random idiots calling us at all hours because they thought it was funny. I don't care that other people were fine with being listed. People have a right to privacy, and moreover a right not to be stalked and harassed. We don't tolerate people posting each others' personal information, public or otherwise, to stalk and harass one another *ON ANY PLATFORM*. That doesn't change just because it's someone who's "a public figure" or, more accurately, someone you don't like. Either the rules exist for everyone or not at all... and if it's not at all then drop the pretense and just admit you want to hurt him any way you can.
Sounds like they should prepare for another EU interjection then.
Show HN: Self-Service Azure VM Start/Stop
This self-service app is based on some FinOps work I did for a client who has hundreds of VMs on Azure. We needed to power off their development and test environments out of hours. Microsoft's VM start/stop offering was confusing and had some limitations (you need to write JSON into a logic app to specify VMs, you can only have a single power on/off time, it's hard to see cost data etc).

I created a simple interface so their staff could do self-service VM scheduling themselves. Have a play, schedule some VMs!

It works in the background using Cron schedules on the VM Tags and a self-hosted Azure Function App. I'm getting it Azure Marketplace ready so people can drop it into their account.

There's more in the works like ordered power on/off, and SQL DTU resizing out of hours but for now I'm interested in early feedback and impressions.

You were aware that Twitter was in direct contact with Democrat politicians and campaigns to censor opponents? It was news to me that they were have weekly meetings with FBI and Intelligence communities where the topic was directly about conservatives in government, I guess I was out of the loop on those.
I'm rarely a cheerleader for the SEC, but their work this week alone has been marvellous. Delighted to see these guys brought to book.
I briefly tested FSD out on a Model 3, for about a mile and a half on what was mostly a clean, recently painted 2-lane road. It seemed to be okay until I got to the point the lines broke for an exit and then it tried to drive me into a concrete median.

I trust the lane-keep feature on the old 2017 Corolla I rented more than FSD.
I think 'good enough' is just an expression to mean it doesn't need to be perfect or very elaborate. Unfortunately the term scrum these days is far from precise and does not guarantee it'll be lightweight, but the principles I definitely agree with. I've seen all sorts of things, including people over-focusing on the scrum process and nitpicking about all sorts of irrelevant things. I've worked with and without scrum masters in teams as an IC and manager. I think having a scrum master is often unjustified overhead, but having an experienced SM in new teams or teams with an inexperienced manager or lacking in soft-skills, it can help fill the gaps.

And yeah you said it well at the end. There are many other things that I believe are more relevant than the process, but you do need a process teams can follow.
So, third-hand story, about 20 years ago, from an acquaintance who heard it from a Police officer who dealt with the following situation:

This police officer was responding to an RV which had run off the road, and was speaking with the driver. The driver, a bit shook up from the experience explained that he was driving down the highway, turned on the cruise control, and got up to make himself a sandwich...

Non-metric Letter is even wider and shorter, so it's worse by your description.

I remember Firefox defaulting to Letter format when printing.
In addition it says people that receive it will have to participate in GitHub events for it (they say a 10 hour per week commitment) and provide material/info for GitHub to share about the program. So they're going to waste your time (which is already scarce, overworked and limited) so you can do marketing for them.

Just cut checks, don't make people act out reality show or circus tricks. Ask maintainers what they need and give it to them--that's how you help, not by adding to their workload.
I was responding to what you wrote in your post. With regards to free speech principles, I think the question you are asking is if the rule against this kind of thing in the Twitter rules is in conflict with the principle of free speech. (Specifically broadcasting location data about an individual.)

Free speech absolutism has always been a fake frame since it is actually “legal speech absolutism” even according to Musk.

I didn’t say anything about absolutism - my take on free speech is that “doxxing” speech like the GPS coordinates of an individual, particularly when it is not newsworthy or connected to current events, doesn’t do anything to contribute to the marketplace of ideas beyond increasing personal risk to that person, and therefore is under motivated from the perspective of the principle of free speech.
Can you link the govt-twitter censorship tweets?

From what I saw it was just some people on Bidens campaign team reaching out asking Twitter to take down some tweets that contained leaked nudes of Bidens son, in line with Twitters ToS.

> (The latter actually seems like it makes a tiny bit of sense on a system that doesn’t have 8-but hardware types at all.)

> But this is all pretty ridiculous, and none of the choices are really good. I can understand having bona fide 16-bit characters, but having this mismatch is nasty.

I’d say the latter (and the behaviour observed by TFA) is the only sensible behaviour, otherwise it's plain not possible to do IO portably, instead you would have to write different codepaths based on CHAR_BIT.

Not only that but:

> Do I get a four-byte file containing 0xb, 0, 0xa, 0? Do I get a two-byte file?

There's actually a third choice because multibyte IO means endianness becomes a factor. So given char[]{0xab, 0xab} the output of writing memory contents literally with CHAR_BIT=16 could be

0x00 0xAB 0x00 0xAB

or

0xAB 0x00 0xAB 0x00
