It sounds like these are DDoS-as-a-service providers who try to appear to be legitimate businesses and cover themselves with terms of service. It's basically a legitimate looking site but they do a psst, hey we do DDoS.

To do that it sounds like they may advertise themselves on the dark web as an attack web site. They also don't bother to verify ownership of a target, like checking domain ownership for example is probably the most common use case here. They also use other people's mis-configured devices to amplify their attack. That last part is particularly salient I think.

It's very stupid to advertise yourself on the dark web for this if you host a site on the clear web. But you are probably right that LE lets this goes on for longer than it needs to. I don't know how long they have known about these sites or how they go about finding them. It sounds like it's just based on victim's sending in reports.
Strange topic for hacker news but with that aside, I loved the film. Really funny stuff.
"Jack Sweeney said the last time his bot tweeted anything was Dec. 12 "which is not last night, so I don’t get how that’s connected.”"

Absolutely on the money. I was pretty excited about it, and after putting some time into it I abandoned it. I didn't remember exactly why, but your post reflects my experience precisely. It's so mind-bogglingly cumbersome to do anything in it that I'd rather buy competent software instead, or work by hand.

My parents used to live in a cookie cutter suburb neighborhood with single family homes. The roads were all maintained by the county so they would be plowed for free but the sidewalks were all maintained by the HOA. Common areas were owned by the HOA (pool, basketball and tennis courts, a big multi-purpose field, playgrounds) so those were paid for with dues and with the case of the pool, seasonal pool passes. I live in an HOA neighborhood too but we have much smaller common areas and fewer amenities. Our roads are maintained by the HOA as they are much smaller and have parking spots alongside them. The nice part is that our roads get plowed almost immediately by contractors whereas the county maintained roads have levels of priority with neighborhoods not having the highest priority.
Looks like that wasn't it.

Seems a bit of a stretch to blame the creator of elonjet for a stalker being able to find his car. The flight information is public information. Even if it wasn't and/or he flew commercial, people would probably be posting about where they saw him due to him being a public figure.

Here's one thing I don't understand: how did it get this way?

It seems like a generational thing, but I can't relate at all to people's petty concerns about neighbors' lawn maintenance and paint colors and AC units.

It's waning now but evidently there were several decades in American culture where these things were of paramount importance to a vast swath of the population. Why?

Has anyone read a good book about this phenomenon?

> I don't think anyone would describe the RNG as lying, but it does have the information to answer correctly "available" to it in some sense. At what point do the incorrect answers become deliberate lies? Does chatGPT "choose" it's answer in a way that dice don't?

I would ask a philosopher, not a HN poster. But I would say that if a being has sentience and it makes a choice to tell you something that it knows to be false, that's a lie. The dice do not have a mind and so, therefore, cannot express an intention. Neither does ChatGPT.
I can't believe it, we have come to the point where we are now gaslighting AI. It's pretty amusing actually.
Even if they found him by tracking the plane, a stalker could do that on ADSBexchange... or with a $15 piece of electronics.

> Disputing election results is also part of the democratic process, even if you disagree with it, and should be encouraged.

no, a democratic election with proper monitoring will not have a dispute on the election result - after all, you would be monitoring the counting process.

What happened in jan is not a dispute of the election, it's a refusal to accept the results of the election. Aka, an attempted coup.

Congrats on the launch and nice work! I combined Google Maps with camera in my app too, but for a different purpose. It's for drivers who uses a phone mount, so they can record dashcam-like video while using Google Maps.

In addition, the video stream is analyzed to show traffic signs, warn about pedestrians, school zones, etc.

Musk claims an attempt was made to assault him: "Last night, car carrying lil X in LA was followed by crazy stalker (thinking it was me), who later blocked car from moving & climbed onto hood.

Legal action is being taken against Sweeney & organizations who supported harm to my family."
It would depend on where the lawsuit is filed. Anti-SLAPP statutes are state laws, and vary wildly by state from very strong laws, weak laws with almost no teeth, to no laws at all.

Unfortunately this means enterprising billionaires might be able to forum shop the SLAPP lawsuit to states where it’s less likely to bite them later.
You’re presuming too much competence on the part of Amazon. They’re not subsidizing those devices to fulfill a long term dastardly scheme where they make their money back and more.

The very first sentence misplaces putative fusion generation's use:

> It’s not about to solve climate change ..

Well quite. Obviously no single measure 'solves' climate change, but even its logically possible contribution - decarbonising electricity production - isn't going to happen. We need to have thoroughly completed this project long before there's any realistic chance of fusion-generated electricity becoming widely available.

So if/when fusion power is to hand, it will add to or replace existing decarbonised power sources. It's not any less exciting for that - if it lives up to a fraction of its potential, it could be utterly transformative for human activities, as were newly discovered energy sources before it. Some of those uses could include future climate change mitigation and adaptation measures - you just can't predict what might be possible with vast cheap energy surpluses on tap.

But we have to get there first, which includes the formidable task of keeping a global technological society functional enough to be able to complete projects of this scope. A necessary condition for that is going to be to decarbonise while we can.
I’m not sure how valuable it would be in this case, but 3D visualisation of PCBs is extensively used in pro circuit board design. It’s very easy to place something in 2D and not realise that something will totally clash with it. Even when you have the components all set up with heights and clearance rules, it can be things like connectors where you have something blocking it so the connector is technically clear (so passes DRC) but you can’t actually plug it in because you have a big component in the way! The next level is then importing enclosures and things to make sure things fit and can actually be assembled.

It’s interesting too that there are all sorts of mistakes that become a bit more obvious when you look at it in 3D than in the 2D view.

That lie didn't last long.
I used to believe his brand of libertarianism was an attempt at "neutral right" but the anti-union thing really strongly tilts right. He has since declared publicly he backs a GOP outcome. Given some of whats going on in the GOP that makes it very very hard to put him soft-right because a declaration of preference like that demands questions: what does he think about J6 and what does he think about vote suppression.

His commercial engagements in Europe and Asia (china) do not actually define him politically one way or another. Nor does the starlink/Ukraine thing although I value that immensely as a buffer against destruction of telecommuniations utility functions in Ukraine.

Several respectable US political long-term trends analysis suggest the GOP cannot be used as a "pole" in left-right center discussions unless you accept it has moved significantly rightward on many fundamental matters of civil rights. Views which previously would have been considered untenable have become normalised, and the overton window has shifted. It used to be the overlap in right DNC and left GOP was strong. It's no longer the case.

I am of course Partisan in this. I don't believe the shift has been a "both sides" thing. But others might disagree.

TL;DR what makes you right leaning now, puts you very firmly right in any 10+ year analysis of what "right" side is.

I should also be clear I am neither a US voter nor US citizen or resident so my views may count for significantly less no matter what.

Elonjet was marked as automatic bot account. Both the bot and Sweeneys accounts were suspended. After updating the location policy Elonjet was unbanned.

However, Sweeney started using elonjet bot account to tweet his non-bot stuff and it got banned. I assume ban is for incorrect use of account or getting around his personal ban.
IANAL, but Twitter is a private company fully owned by Musk. This might be a publicity disaster, but legally they should be fully in the clear.
Indeed. And not just rail workers. Every week there is a post on HN asking why we don't have a shorter work week already. Folks seem to have forgotten how much dynamite was involved in getting it down to 40 hours.
> It’s funny because broadcasters have normalized ads at +6 dB compared to the rest of the radio.

In the US, the loudness rule was made by politicians who had no technical background.

What they came up with was that the loudest part of the commercial can not be louder than the loudest part of the program surrounding it.

Broadcasters were quick to compress and limit the commercial audio into a brick, and normalize it just below the "100%" of the programming. The end result was a much, much louder commercial, that was technically a lower peak volume (but much higher average volume).

The law to lower the peak volume permits a higher average volume, and that has been exploited.
I'm going to fix your comment for you:

More like, “I know I’m retired, but I wouldn't mind coming in once in a while just to say "hey" and catch up with people.”

Would you then call it quitting or getting fired if suddenly you decided “actually I’ll not be stopping by next year, BECAUSE MY SON IS CONVICTED OF THE LARGEST FRAUD IN HISTORY, AND I WAS THERE HELPING HIM THE ENTIRE TIME, BUT IT IS JUST COINCIDENTAL THAT I WON'T BE STOPPING BY ANYMORE.”

Boss: Thinking "Phew, glad I didn't have to tell her not to show her face around here every again" but saying to her face, "Oh, ok...it's up to you, but I totally understand that the only reason that you are not coming by is because it is your own decision that has nothing to do with YOUR SON IS CONVICTED OF THE LARGEST FRAUD IN HISTORY, AND YOU WAS THERE HELPING HIM THE ENTIRE TIME, BUT IT IS JUST COINCIDENTAL THAT YOU WON'T BE STOPPING BY ANYMORE.”

what makes us unfit and unworthy as a species is our nature as humans, an example of which is the communally accepted extraction of value of one group of humans by another group of humans. some examples:

- the British extraction of colonial resources (at the heavy expense of the colonized) of literally every single British colony, ever. (I'm primarily thinking of India and Africa, here.) How many millions died due to British imperialism solely because keeping those people alive was less profitable than letting them starve? The British are joined by the French and the Spanish, here, if I'm being semi-inclusive.

- systemic racism.

- war for oil (war for money).

- class warfare, where the rich create policies and laws to keep themselves rich, and to make it more difficult for others to become rich.

- caste systems.

- the ultra-rich when contrasted against the ultra-poor. if humans were worth anything, extreme wealth inequality as seen today would never happen, ever. it simply would not be tolerated.

- slavery.

it would be one thing if humans simply didn't care about each other, but we take it several steps away from apathy deeply into malevolence: humanity will gladly devour entire races of other humans for land, or money, or power. I don't think animals do that, even on small scales.

leaders of small ape communities sometimes do things like this against an individual or two, but it doesn't become part of the culture of entire swaths of that species as it does with us. you may not live in a country with a caste system, but I bet you know what it is. you may not live in a country ravaged by the British, but I bet you know what they did. these things are familiar to us because we are familiar with ourselves at that level. we accept these things as they are happening instead of challenging these systems and stopping them.

our global culture knows what happens around the world, generally speaking, and our global culture does VERY little, if anything, to make any real changes to any of this.

a species worthy of existence would go well out of its way to right these wrongs. human life has inherent value, and if you are reading this, and you think it does not, you are an example of why we do not deserve to succeed as a species.

yes, MY worth is determined by me. and the worthiness of the collective species is determined by the collective species, and we are simply not worthy of leaving this planet or even surviving on this one.

we care about power. we care about money because it grants power. we somehow deeply NEED to feel superior to others, so we create systems which grant the power we crave. we "eat our own tail" by doing this, and will ultimately destroy ourselves, because no one is willing to care about it once they have attained any position of power over others. no one wants to give up their power to benefit others, so they don't, and we continue to demonstrate ourselves as a species unworthy of note, even on our home planet.
Yay b2logic!
Knowing when/where a private plane lands makes it a lot easier to stalk the passengers of that plane.

This is of course entirely separate from whether such info was used against Musk or his family, or whether such a possibility is sufficient grounds for attempting to silence those who make it easily accessible (it's still accessible thanks to ADS-B for anyone with basic technical skills and cares enough).
I'm obsessed with stripping out dependencies so when I'm working on a new project I try to figure out which APIs are commonly supported and use them when I can. What amazes me is when I run into something that seems new to me, only to discover it has been around since Chrome 1.0 or earlier. The JavaScript and DOM APIs are decades old and obscenely huge at this point and you never use all of them on every project, and it's too easy to just go back to what you already familiar with.

Case in point: Element.insertAdjacentHTML(). Not sure how I missed this pretty basic method, but there it is, helping turn a mess of code I had into a one liner. Itemscope and itemprop attributes as well. Wow, where did those come from? Oh, like 1999? Did I just forget they were there? Maybe. Or maybe I just never noticed.

That doesn't even count the continuous new APIs being added during each Chromium release, which are now pretty much everywhere. Mind boggling.
