Step #0 to any significant policy reform is eliminating the Senate filibuster, followed by step #1: controlling both houses and the presidency.

The only truly radical policy that has come out of Congress in decades was Obamacare, and that was precisely because the Democrats were just barely able to assemble 60 votes in the Senate. (Most Democrats wanted single-payer, or at least a single-payer option, but a bill including single-payer couldn't clear a 60 vote hurdle as at least one Democrat, Joe Lieberman, publicly opposed single-payer.) And even then, with the death of Ted Kennedy they immediately lost the ability to beat a filibuster, which is why the House was forced to pass the Senate bill verbatim, which was unusual. Usually there's a reconciliation process for bills passed between the two houses, after which each house has a pro forma vote on the reconciled bill. But even a pro forma vote on a reconciled bill is subject to a Senate filibuster, with the exception of purely budgetary bills, which Obamacare clearly wasn't. (There were subsequent changes passed as budgetary amendments, though, both by Democrats and later by Republicans--e.g. elimination of the individual mandate penalty.)

And don't forget, precisely because the Democrats passed Obamacare, the Republicans swept the 2010 election, taking the House and taking 6 Senate seats from the Democrats--who went from 56 in 2010 to 53 in 2011, not counting the 2 seats lost earlier in 2010--in December 2009 Democrats had 58 votes plus 2 Independents. The 2010 election was the biggest rout in 60 years.

Unless and until the Senate filibuster goes away, you can't really make any sweeping claims about what policies a party could or would actually enact. Because of the filibuster the parties are beholden to a handful of members. I'm not entirely sure the filibuster should be eliminated, but if I were a Senator I probably wouldn't stand in the way, either.

If you follow the politics, both houses and both parties could easily enact significant immigration reform on a simple majority vote. Albeit not radical reform so long as the filibuster existed. However, immigration has proven a tremendous wedge issue for Republicans, which Trump leveraged to great effect. Moreover, even though a vast majority of Americans and Congressmen wish to change the status quo, any specific, concrete policies lead to a lot of heated disagreement because it turns out different people have conflicting motivations for wanting reform, especially within the Republican camp. Moreover, the Republicans learned a lesson watching Obamacare--if you can't enact perfect reform (i.e. Democrats being forced to compromise on single-payer), your own supporters will crucify and disown you. A big part of the Republican 2010 sweep was upset Democrats walking away because they didn't get their preferred option. So especially for Republicans, immigration reform is a lose-lose-lose.

I'm not sure how Google has associated that page to Musk, but notice that Musk's name is nowhere on that page. I suspect Google is able to associate that record to Musk because of the sleuthing people have done. Likely there are links to that page that identify it as Musk's jet.

The FAA has a program called LADD (Limiting Aircraft Data Displayed) and high-profile individuals, etc can sign up to it. The major players in the flight tracking business like FlightRadar24 or FlightAware follow that. But sites like ADS-B Exchange do not adhere to that, so you can see a lot more flights that are blocked on the others. Also anyone with a Raspberry Pi and a cheap antenna can build their own ADS-B receiver and get that unfiltered data.
Sorry to hear about their letting you go.

This tends to be the case when you need a bug-for-bug re-implementation of the old program, but it isn't stated up front.
Take a look at Jetbrains‘ RubyMine. It takes development to a new level; You won’t want to go back. It understands your code so well, it’s magical. It can rename stuff anywhere it’s referenced, for example, which is way superior to search/replace in a directory (because you won’t replace unrelated items). It has a Sequelace built in, but with support for practically any database. It can perform debugging inside the editor. It has support for all relevant tooling. It handles deployment. And more.

Urql client is great, however for the backend, Apollo Server really can't be beat, at least for a NodeJS backend.
>escape responsibilities

Just exactly what “responsibilities” do you perceive me to have in this discussion? Others are advocating monitoring another person’s property using technology and publishing it on the internet. I am suggesting that there is no reasonable civil reason to do so. The only “responsibility” I have here is to be true to my opinion. I stand by it.

Also, I used the term “cyberstalking” because that is exactly what it is. Here is a Wikipedia page on the term:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyberstalking

According to that page cyberstalking is the use of the internet and technology to stalk an individual and those actions “may include monitoring”.

Here is the definition of “stalk”:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stalking

“Stalking is unwanted and/or repeated surveillance by an individual or group toward another person”

If you find fault in my definition, feel free to push an edit to those Wikipedia pages.
Since I didn’t know Sweden was a nation entirely of stats experts, perhaps the poster meant no risk of objective, statistically sound analysis?
We've had quite a bit of brigading on these submissions for the past couple of days, with a clear lack of rational thinking and a rebuttal agenda that Elon banning this account goes against "free speech".

Let me ask you this, if someone started creeping up on you on the street because they found your information from a Twitter account, and did that because their only intention was to annoy you - would you be cool with that? Would you be cool with a person like this rolling up on your kids because the said person feels invincible for some reason?

You see, none of us have the kind of limelight that Elon Musk is exposed to, so to see a lot of the people here talk a big game about how it's wrong or how Elon failed and this and that, are you seriously unable to put yourself in his shoes over this?

Maybe I'm seeing it wrong, but if I am - then I'd love to hear how.
In the GDPR sense any information that can be tied directly to a person is "personal data" but since nobody in this story lives in Europe I think it's neither here nor there that this is the case.

Hey! Totally understand this concern with the browser extension. I mentioned this in another comment, but there was no way to build the full functionality without these permissions, though we do hope to make a lighter version of the extension in the future for more privacy-conscious folks.

However, completely understand the request, and we do value privacy/security super highly. All extension data stays local on your device unless you actively press the extension button to save a page/content. You'd have to read our source code and network requests to confirm this right now, of course.

So correct me if I am mis-understanding...

it has to be in oracle or pg compatibility mode, so effectively its just an oracle api replacement, but should more or less behave like oracle

so the only primary benefit is you stop paying oracle because you just want to leave oracle?

It doesn't exactly let you move away from oracle APIs though.

It is a big win financially. So good on them, I hope it gets all the traction!
It's conceptually a lot different not just internally but in that it's equivalent to an automatically finalized hash and could eliminate a class of accidental misuse.
> unanimous lack of confidence in "autopilot" I've witnessed in owners

You must talk to a very narrow band of Tesla owners.

Auto pilot is basically enhanced cruise control, and Tesla do this quite well.

If you’re referring to fulls self driving (FSD), then I agree. FSD is best seen as slightly advanced autopilot (it can change lanes, etc.) and self-parking in very tight spots like small garages. The FSD name is largely a misnomer, and it has given the features that have been implemented well (listed above) a very bad name.

Related to the request and your comment, I personally wish that home appliances would have Tesla-esque features, just without the Elon over-promising bluster.

It might be because most of the social platforms on that list don’t really fit the mould of a town square in my eyes. WhatsApp, YouTube, Snapchat, FB, FB messenger and others I recognise aren’t shaped in ways that look like public debate and are generally more siloed or are creator platforms.

Twitter seems to me more like an open free-for-all where any text can get amplified and publicly interacted with and very little is behind private accounts/groups/silos and anyone can easily contribute.

Other than Hacker News, of course.
It presumably had a good reason for being in each intermediate state before the one you became attached to, and people were presumably attached to those.

If it turns out that AI with respect to programming is just a productivity amplifier for programmers - which is all it is currently - then it will be more like a rising tide floats all boats - I think you'd rather be in the mix and super adept at any new techniques and you'll be more competitive than those who fail to adapt. Otherwise - look at what OpenAI suggests and is mentioned in another comment - find the niche and create and train the AI for that niche - profit.

I get your joke, but I actually find that the faint posts draw the eye more. I tested something similar on a forum of mine, where unverified/anonymous posts were collapsed by default, but found that I and others were just expanding them to check for drama.

Reddit collapses threads too, but I actually find that what's left is "enough" to get a read on a thread (in a subreddit like r/NBA for example, probably less so in something political) and I rarely expand for more.

Uhhh, no? I don't think u realize how big of the gap between the average programming work vs fanng+ companies. Note that I didn't say the quality of the candidates, because I don't think it's hard and most of the ppl can achieve that level if they really tried. But the difference in work is so huge it's basically 2 type of jobs. In typical fanng companies, most regular ppl wont survive. It's highly competitive and require ppl to be able to ramp up repidly. At the same time, u need to maintain high performance all the time. Hard deadlines everywhere. Required to lead different projects and be oncall at the same time.

It's highly competitive and demanding basically the opposite of what ppl going through in the regular school system right now.

The whole point of vouching for someone is so they can prove they are who they say they are. If you don't want to do that, then don't do that. Or, if you have two identities, I suppose you'd have two accounts.

Anyway, things don't have to be for everyone. In the unlikely scenario in which this gets built, there would still be other websites too.
Version control practices have changed a lot since the 70s. It's possible the code has actually been lost. Or, more likely, the version that actually runs has been lost. Some code still exists (or existed), but how exactly it differs isn't exactly known, and deploying it would require getting a higher up to sign off on, essentially, unbounded risk for their critical systems (they will never do this).

If that happened in the 80s or 90s the code that exists has probably diverged enough that it's effectively pseudocode at this point.
