Now you're farming out to another "larger system" to ensure that the keys are real people.

How does that system ensure things, and why can't that system do domains directly?

> a trust matrix where users decide which authorities they accept for identity validation (or any other attestation)

So if I tell someone my "domain name" I won't know what site they'll actually get because it's calculated per person?
This is actually a very good guess. A vast majority of these ultra-rich population are now on simulants and psychoactive drugs.
Or he has already decided to step down (or was forced to by his investors), knows how the poll will turn out, and is creating the illusion that the masses have a say in it.
Of course he knows what the results will be. He owns twitter. He has all the admin passwords to the server that runs the poll. The admins that run the server answer to him. The result of this poll will be whatever Elon Musk wants it to be.
Bit late but ill try - perfect hashing is a variant where the set of keys is known( say N) and the hash table size is set large enough (N^2) such that the no of collision is 0 in a nutshell (expected no of collisions to be precise which is less than 1)

So if i understand correctly the variance of the data would not really matter since we will choose a hash table of size of the total space of passwords thus absolutely no collisions will occur no matter which distribution of keys we pick and hash

Thats where the O(1) comes from since searching for a key in a hash slot would take constant time as there is just one key in each slot (due to no collisions)

As the other commentor said the SHA1 collision has such a low probability that theres no need for perfect hashing
The government will incentivize the kind of homebuilding that profits developers most (which currently seems to be townhomes in the 300k range and mcmansions in the 650k+ range in the suburban US).

Developers are prolific political donors. Developers and unionized public sector workers split the pie, and your average citizen has little to no say in local politics.
Cars are funny. The automakers pretend they are simply selling an object for a pile of money, but in the real world of the dealership & lending ecosystem it's all 60-72 month loans and service contracts and warranties. And it's all pretty smarmy compared to what people would accept from a reputable national brand. If cars are subscription products anyway, then having the automakers internalize & centralize that part isn't the worst thing.
Also the excellent early 90s HBO show Dream On is a lost relic never likely to be resurrected.
Ok apart from the "OMG strikebreakers in this day and age!" reaction what I am trying to get my head around is ... how n somewhere more sane like say Germany, Unions are ... look, why not replace management with unions? I mean a union rep is actually voted for by the employees. Most management is administrative and the important bits (allocation of resource, leadership and vision) are hardly done by the managers (it sort of becomes a hodge podge of people agreeing a vision and allocating themselves because they actually understood the vision).

Anyway - Am looking for a way to get democracy into companies and realised that it's kinda already there
Remind me, who kept posting misinformation about a children's hospital just before it got bomb threats?

And who kept doing it knowing that fact, causing repeats of such bomb threats?

And who posted relentlessly about the drag show in Moore County for more than a month before a bunch of substations got shot up, supposedly to shut them down?

You do the math.
Either that or he’s just drunk.

This doesn't give context at all. Dembele was just completely beaten. He then made contact with Di Maria from behind when there was no chance he was playing for ball. Sure the referee didn't have to call penalty but it was fair he did. A more obvious interference could have resulted in a red card.

I find it really irritating when people imply that a lack of belief in spiritual nonsense demands that they must think of things, like death, in a particular way.

You die, you’re gone, and that’s fine. It does not need to be spectacular. Implying otherwise is just about as inflammatory as calling the other camp’s beliefs nonsense imo.
When you buy a car or a fridge you can look up all the details about the efficiency and houses need to be similar. If every house rented or sold were to require an efficiency rating the market would work a bit better. There are passive house tests with air pressure measurements that can already do this. It would be obvious if it makes _economic_ sense to pay extra for passive. If it doesn't make _environmental_ sense then the energy is not being priced high enough to reflect the environmental costs.

The construction industry is very learn-resistant so standards would bring the price down with higher volumes as with seatbelts and airbags.

Where I live in New Zealand the regulations are actually protecting the construction industry building poorly performing houses with junk materials. People want to build passive but it's difficult because there are barriers to entry for companies wanting to sell components like European style windows.
When my car got T-boned at 60mph and rolled over two times I definitely experienced this slowing of time. I recalled the random factoid that people instinctively stiffen up during car accidents and tend to break their legs so I grabbed tightly to the steering wheel and allowed the rest of my body to go completely limp. Despite being over in a matter of seconds it felt as though I had ample time to analyze the situation and react. Despite not having a seatbelt on at the time I emerged with barely a scratch. The driver of the other car, which was going much slower, got out with a broken arm.

Since then people have told me that I only experience this slowed time in my memories and in reality there's no way I was reacting to the moment, but I'm not sure I completely believe them. It definitely felt like my brain was working in double-time, noticing and processing details that I'd never notice in normal situations.
Twitter was doing fine financially, they were consistently floating around break even and they had lots of opportunities to move into profitability if their financial situation became tenuous. As far as technology companies go, they weren’t anything to write home about, they weren’t printing money the way Google does, but they were doing fine.

Twitter doesn’t need to make constant product changes, as is evidenced by their ability to continue to support hundreds of millions of users and consistently generate billions of dollars of revenue: they’re valuable as-is. The Muskian narrative that Twitter needs better programmers who churn out more features is just not true.

I very much agree that Jack was half-assing management of the company but the consequence was that Twitter was falling far short of its potential, not that Twitter was struggling. If your argument is that the lack of profitability makes Twitter vulnerable to activist investors, then, well, you’re about a decade behind on market sentiment. Nobody cares about profitability any more: if the company can sustain itself, which Twitter could, then stock price is all that matters.
Honestly I get more value out of ChatGPT than I do from Copilot even though both generate the wrong stuff now and then. But I like to describe the desired functionality by writing in plain English than trying to goad copilot in the right direction by coming up with method and variable names that copilot will "like"

Surprised sailsjs hasn't been mentioned in this thread (and/or seems to have faded in popularity?) Seems like if you go back in time maybe 7 years or so it had a hot moment where it looked like it might become the rails / django / spring of the js world, and then felt like poof it was no longer a major part of the conversation.
When you write a Windows Program in Lazarus/Free Pascal, you know exactly what it's going to look like when it runs. You know it will continue to run for decades. Its not subject to the whim of an app store or changes to javascript, chrome, internet censorship, or any other forces. It just does its job, quickly and efficiently .

It's not going to break because of some breaking change to Python or a library like WxWindows. (Which makes WikidPad unusable in Linux)

It's not going out of service because a vendor doesn't want to keep the support hosts online any more.

It just keeps working, reliably.

Now it should be possible to run any executable in a secure manner, but we don't have CabSec (Capability based security), so we're stuck with web apps instead.

I am sure you wanted to make Elon look like a bad guy, but saying that people from Facebook and Tiktok hate Elon's vision does the exact opposite.
This. 2 penalties awarded not to him but his teammates. One amazing goal. Still an excellent player nowhere near his prime years. We'll definitely see him for the next 3 WC for sure.
Anyone find any particularly nice memes or comics regarding free speech absolutionist, only when convenient?
> I would oppose a unit that starts with a prefix symbol (m=milli=0.001) on principle

The fundamental SI unit of mass is the kilogram (kg).
I voted "yes" to confuse him
That whole Thai situation was when my opinion of Elon cratered. The pedo insult and subsequent lawsuits really gave insight into Elon's (lack of) character - the fact he would use that as an insult, the person he insulted, and the fact he wouldn't apologise and let it get to the stage of a lawsuit.

Whilst the 'submarine solution' he proposed shattered my belief that he was some engineering genius. It was plainly obvious to even a non-technical person that a cave system was not going to be suitable for a submarine - yet here was the 'genius' designing a solution without even checking the requirements. It was so fundamentally stupid that it's made me really believe that Tesla/SpaceX are a (technical) success in spite of Elon, not because.

Maybe the whole submarine thing was purely a marketing/publicity plot ... but trying to gain PR points off a live tragedy? Well that goes back to my point about his character.
A fun theory, but these kind of mental exercise to re-interpret an irrational decision as rational, repeatedly for certain individuals, seems frighteningly familiar.

Not everything is 4-D chess. Sometimes unforced errors are just that.

> Hopefully, Elon notices that we don't have endless HN and reddit front page articles about Rupert Murdoch's jet.

Are you kidding? He loves the attention, and we are only talking about Twitter because Elon bought it rather than some boring guy.

I still don't see the impending death of Twitter. Where is the evidence that it is going down the tubes? PG will be back, because everything bad about Twitter is even worse on Mastodon -- instead of one narcissistic Napoleon running things like Twitter, Mastodon has hundreds of them, and they are even less accountable than Elon.

If you want to kill Twitter, stopping giving it free publicity would be a good start. But you can't help yourselves, so it survives and thrives on your outrage.
Lets recount
OK, fine, I'll do it.

I've been discussing Twitter for a very long time at newslettr.com . If you want to go down that rabbit hole, beware.
Clearly you know zip about proof.

Given your attitude why would I drop a pin on an instance that many can follow the crumbs to?
Any source’s? Can I get this now as an adult?
Weird, I thought it spell 'incongruence'.
In addition to "I don't know" is "I messed up". Everyone does stupid things occasionally. Stupid people double down on their stupidity once they realize what happened instead of owning up to it.
What gets on my nerves is IT bods pontificating without proof.

nmap is one tool to prove things. You will also want wireshark. Also a decent multimeter and a decent network L1/2 tester.
I'm sure plenty of people would love that job on their CV or filling their bank account but of the actually qualified people, who would want to be micromanaged by Elon Musk? There's better options out there
For sure. And I think the lashing out is driven by some things that are legitimately painful. He only briefly wanted to buy Twitter; the courts were going to force him to buy it. And the main source of his wealth, TSLA, has gone from a peak of nearly $400 per share to down around $150.

Unlike Tesla and SpaceX, where his has competent domain experts running things he knows less about, he has already fired everybody at Twitter with a backbone. Because he uses Twitter, he clearly (and wrongly) believes he understands it just fine. Twitter's also all software and mostly consumer-facing, so changes are both immediate and obvious. So I think with Twitter there's very little between his impulses and immediate impact on hundreds of millions of people.
I always thought that was more of a conspiracy that milk helps you to grow. My mum always tried to get me with that but I always didn't give a damn because I thought it's not true anyway.
Obviously it is that easy, otherwise this article would not exist and would not have so many comments.
Lowtax, at least for a while, had a Poster's Heart, something Musk does not and will never have.
Accenture relies on a revolving door of young, cheap, inexperienced labor.

A developer in the U.S. has far better employment options.
Comparing uranium hexafluoride vapor at 57 C to incandescent vaporized uranium + fission products at 22,000 C. The materials problems with the latter are just a bit more severe!
It seems like an awful idea to say it out loud though, right?
I built an entire website based on that, there's a few other ones out there too.
That's what amazes me. The path to attempt that was pretty straightforward. Get in control, make some small changes to accommodate as many people as possible, reassure advertisers, add some surprising features that start to extend Twitter and see how people take to them. Make it more about creating and enjoying rather than just outright fighting. No one wants their polarised-arguing app to also be their banking and housing and everything app!
When migrating 32bit apps to 64bit platforms, it's common to follow the recipe:

1. Try to recompile on 64bit without any changes
2. Realize the program does not work because the types have different sizes now
3. Cast everything on sight to types that have same size as in 32bit.
4. Now the program "works" (as in, it compiled and maybe ran but you didn't test thoroughly)

This address space restrictions ensures that if you happen to cast a pointer in this way it will not work, forcing the developer to review what he's doing.
Every day I mourn a little bit more the timeline where Twitter really does turn into 8chan.

Elon could have done it. It would have been stupid and glorious.

People keep on clutching pearls, saying you need moderation. You don't need more than what's legal, many websites are doing fine being wild jungles. Arguably, more than fine if you count creativity.

Really the only downside is that the advertisers and uninteresting people would fuck off. Neither would have mattered if instead of this pay for blue system they started charging accounts depending on how many followers they have.
Dang it, you’re right. Here’s hoping he stays and keeps on digging
It may be a subconscious tactic.
> look, why not replace management with unions?

Unions are free to start businesses, aren't they? Workers can also form cooperatives.

Ages ago I was doing an internship at SAP in Walldorf, Germany. At the time, SAP had just gotten 'Mitbestimmung' und union representatives. By German law you only need a handful of workers to demand this, no need to win any majority.

Let's just say, the union folks weren't popular with the rank and file employees I spoke to.

> Anyway - Am looking for a way to get democracy into companies and realised that it's kinda already there

Well, there's also shareholder democracy.

But why do you even want democracy in the workplace? When I don't like the burgers at McDonald's, I don't try to vote to make them better; I just go over to Burger King next door.
> I wouldn't think of wind and solar as competition to fusion. Fusion power would have a different role in future electricity grids. Both would be complementing each other, rather than being a replacement.

How would that work? Solar is very cheap. Nuclear is several times more expensive. Ergo, if the sun is shining at all the economically rational decision is to buy as much solar as you can.

Same goes for wind.

This means renewables will cut into nuclear, a lot.

The whole "base load" ideal only works assuming nuclear is dirt cheap, but inflexible, and is supplemented with expensive but flexible sources for the times it's too slow moving. That would be the ideal scenario.

The unfortunate thing is that nuclear isn't cheap, and renewables aren't expensive.
Don't forget Qatari owned Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) also. PSG is the club that Lionel Messi and his opposing number 10 from the World Cup Final, French star Kylian Mbappe, play for together in the French football league. Similar to Manchester City, they are often the best team in their country and frequently participate in the UEFA Champions League
"oh yeah, I have plenty else going on. I'm the head of other innovative companies. I don't need this crap over at twitter."

At this point, twitter's goal (whether headed by Elon or someone else) should be to join the fediverse, and be accepted by other large instances for federation with them.
I think writing a static website generator is a great exercise. I had a lot of fun writing my own in C++. It's tempting to keep adding features though, and by that point you're basically in the beginnings of your own web framework.
And people thought he wouldn’t be punished.
don't be an ass, he said it's been in the fast lane to bankruptcy _SINCE MAY_.

Any jackass can formulate an argument against someone by misquoting, the real skill is in doing it while being accurate.
You aren't wrong in some senses, but I think you're wrong in the most important sense: Twitter's servers run on electricity, and electricity is paid for with ads and MAUs, not outrage on HN (and other tech forums).
Also consider when yishan was ceo of reddit:

https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2014/nov/13/reddit-ce...

At the time, yishan drew a ton of criticism, but now what has happened at Twitter dwarfs that story.

Recall that yishan was also from the Paypal mafia and had early experience at facebook. Yet was unable to make things work. Important for any of the current would-be Twitter investors to ponder.
Let's imagine Google Cloud, AWS, Azure are resp. Google's / Amazon's / Microsoft's everything apps. They are managing to handle the regulatory weight of supporting applications of all kinds of nature, and if you rethink Twitter as a platform you can do the same as well.

Many things are possible, and the Twitter app today may even continue to work as-is. But underneath it will be able to power more apps and more use cases, all tied under a common cohesive set of interactive primitives, much higher level than what cloud applications today support. This means less to reinvent, less to rediscover, and easier more natural integration between apps, services and components.

It'd be a lot of work, definitely not a 2-3 month project. So you'd need also a survival strategy that keeps Twitter 1.0 working and profitable.
In no world is 150k miles "low mileage". That's comfortably in the "may break down at any time" age.
Well, a subscription service is literally a subscription access, of course.

If you buy an iTunes movie and keep the downloaded file (there is a single file), it works so long as you retain an iTunes account (it is DRM protected, that DRM is account-specific, NOT media-specific)
You're right that this raises questions about the nature of "first principles thinking". For Elon at Twitter, this seems to mean just applying hunches from Y2k era tech memories rather than understanding things like if you cut off huge IP ranges to fight 'bots' you'll affect legit users, etc
If you think the owners stay completely out of hiring decisions (which lead to editorial decisions) I have a bridge to sell you.

Frankly, at least this crazy guy running Twitter is openly doing it
And you sound a bit like a luddite. Please respect people's opinions; I respect yours.
As a non Twitter user, I’m curious how this social experiment will play out.

Twitter has been a pit of outrage, fuelling mobs to attack people for so long — will this new version of it be any worse? I’m curious to find out (from the sidelines)
Here’s the problem: government contracting is complicated enough that only a few companies can wade through it and the overhead encourages big general services contracts so you don’t have to repeat that process every time someone wants to setup a Wordpress blog. Those companies put in bids featuring their key staff, who are qualified. That’s who the government meets with and who answers all of the questions.

Contractors come and go, and the government isn’t supposed to micromanage them - that’s one of the features theoretically making them less expensive than staff - so those qualified people may never be seen after the start of the project, or they might be in some kind of “oversight” capacity where they’re quintuple booked theoretically keeping the much cheaper people doing the actual work from failing too badly.

On the government side, they likely don’t have qualified technical staff (or enough of their time) after years of “cost savings” where every dollar cut from the staff budget corresponds to 2-3 dollars going to contractors. That means that problems will progress further, especially because the contract PM isn’t going to say that the contract developers are doing terribly after months of saying sprint velocity is good. Even if they’re on different contracts, the odds are good they’ve either worked together before or don’t want to rule out future work at the other company.

So, things careened down the tracks and now people are realizing that the green lights on dashboards were in fact optimistic. The government can ask for things to be fixed but if there’s pushback, they risk _every_ project on that contract and it’s expensive because they have to show some kind of malfeasance to get money back or possibly even to stop wasting more (want to bet there’s never been any scope creep which could be blamed?). It’s _much_ easier to try seeing whether the claim that this was a one-time mishap was true than to deal with all of that.

Any time you see something like this, it’s always possible that you have someone totally failing to do their job but it’s far more likely that you’re seeing a bunch of people trying to do their best with a system they know isn’t effective but which they have no direct means to improve.
These sorts of subscriptions are a user-hostile plague, and I refuse to use such software. If that means certain sorts of software are unavailable to me, well, so be it.
You didn’t need to handcraft it, the linker has a ‘pagezero_size’ argument which allows you to set it as small as one page and then the rest of the low 4GB can be used.
