The absolute saddest thing in the world is that he spends any time at all on Twitter.

My god, the field of possibilities for how to spend his free time is absolutely limitless - the man could spend a billion dollars a year on personal entertainment and growth, on doing literally anything his heart desires, and die the richest man on the planet. He could visit every corner of the globe, talk with anyone on the planet, see any performance up close and personal, he could build magnificent buildings, found incredible institutions, sponsor whole art movements. He could die on the moon. The possibilities for this man are limited only by the actual possible, and he’s got enough money that on a reasonable timescale even that’s malleable.

But what’s he doing instead? He’s tweeting “my pronouns are Prosecute/Fauci.” He’s engaged in the shittiest, lowest quality, most horseshit expression of whatever passes for politics on Twitter, on which he spends a horrifying amount of time.

Is this what it’s like to watch an artist die slowly from a heroine addiction? Just an incredible breadth of potential, slowly wasting itself in the most obscene and depressing fashion, and all that possibility dying with it. What a goddamn tragedy.
I'm not sure I'd agree with the OP, mainly because it's still seems too early to judge the actions of Musk and his team. They're just starting to figure out how the heck they're going to turn around Twitter into a sustainable business -- not exactly an easy task! Everything Twitter does is surely up-for-internal-debate currently. I'd wait to pass judgment until things start stabilizing.

That said, I find the definition of conservatism quoted by the OP insightful: "Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect." The opposite of that is clearly worthwhile: We want laws that protect everyone because they bind everyone.
Obviously this needs a little more polish, but I've wanted this for so long I'm willing to pay for it now if it helps push the tech forward. Can I give you money?
Powerwalls aren't a business' core product, so they're priced at "how much to make it worth our time".
This. I generally have few problems with the people I work with one exception is when they start posting screenshots on Slack. If it's some gui and you can't get a good export then I understand the frustration - but this will be a screen shot of terminal.

Why? I mean do you hate the future? Did a month from the present beat you up as a child? Perhaps when you were 10 years old 2 years from now kicked sand in your face and now you're going to punish it. I don't know. But they need to get over it for everyone's sake.
The only diesel "subsidy" I am familiar with is colored fuel, which exempts the road tax for off-road vehicles. A pickup truck would not be eligible to use such fuel as it is deemed an on-road vehicle. Maybe there is some other subsidy in your jurisdiction?
That's an interesting coincidence. I have been pondering whether to do a chargeback on a food order that Deliveroo failed to deliver. The support refused to refund until I told them I would do a chargeback. I was wondering what the consequences of doing the chargeback would be, but if even the threat of performing one changes their stance on a refund I guess it can't be that bad.
What do you call this kind of all-round software that runs these businesses? Is it just traditional ERP software?
The EU is a joke and no business deciding who is a "journalist" or how Twitter can or should operate.

Twitter can pull out all servers and employees from the EU. The EU has no right to legislate a website operating outside their borders. If they don't like it, they can block Twitter a la China and deal with the angst of their populace.

> They won't though, because end-users are not the customers of Google, advertisers are. You can betcha advertisers get excellent customer service.

You would think so, but no. Even advertisers get bad support from Google. Even companies using Google as replacement for Microsoft stack (Gmail and Calendar instead of Outlook, etc) get bad support from Google. Even Google Cloud customers spending millions a year get bad support from Google.

The terrible support might have started for the reasons you mention, but it turn into whole organization dysfunction.
Mathematician withdraws preprint 24 years after initial submission
I said that because of my life experience. I run some small businesses in some quasi-technical fields.

We've gotten phone calls asking for help with fixing peoples' Yahoo mail accounts, asking for returns to stores that were completely different than ours, trying to get refunds on products we don't even sell, and many other nonsensical and time-wasting calls from confused people.

If we, at our extremely small scale, were often annoyed by dealing with irrelevant phone calls, I have no doubt that Google would be drowned out by every person who had an issue installing Windows, trying to setup their printer, asking for help getting their money back from a shoe store, running out of gas on the highway, their apartment not turning on the heat high enough, and a host of unrelated things that most of us would never dream of calling Google about.

I'm not asking for perfection from Google: I'm just asking for Google to help desperate people that are completely screwed and giving them some option, even if it requires some payment, to fix major life-changing issues.
I'd love to see this for many supply-constrained items, not just E150s. People complain loudly about "price gouging" when it's done, but I don't really care. If people are going to resell at a profit why not let the company reap that directly? And attempts to prevent reselling have usually floundered or failed.
It would be so nice if the FDA and/or USDA was a bit more powerful and competent.

Then you're not providing a "gain" for the user, if people are saying it's "incomplete".

You need to figure out what problem your users are having and solve that. Random feature bloat in search of a magical fit is Hope as a Strategy (TM), and it's not typically effective.
Yeah, either you'd get your gmail account banned because of something happened in google ads, or they ban you for having multiple accounts and trying to "circumvent their anti-abuse policy" or something.

According to the article, "processing" refers to heating.

Most commercial honey has been pasteurized, which appears to destroy whatever substance exists in raw honey and has favorable effect on glycemia.

Even using honey in a too hot drink or in a baked cake might eliminate most of the health effects of raw honey.

There are a lot of 3rd party ones: Protonmail, Hey, even Gandi has a service. Getting "free" email is, I think, a thing of the past. You want to be a customer, not a product.

I run my own email, but getting delivery can be a pain, so I also use Mailgun as an SMTP relay. It's worth paying them for this service.

Google One is only a few bucks a month and gives human support. It certainly helped me in getting someone from Google confirm to me with written info that an issue I was having was caused by the phone manufacturer and not Google.
That fallacy asserts a judgement that natural=good. I'm not claiming that.

We have physical needs just like other members of the natural world - food for example, if we can't provide food for ourselves, we'll starve to death just like an animal. Why bother judging this situation as good or bad when it's not something that can be changed.
Ah, that makes sense, but you'd have to avoid anything sweet with calories to keep the connection broken right?
Point 2: What makes you say that, and what principles specifically are you assuming every gnu/linux user has that would lead them to Free/OpenBSD (and not dragonfly or net)?
idk ... multiple possibilites come to my mind:

* spreadsheet

if you are able to add (small) numbers all by yourself

* pen & paper

* a text-file

and some ideas - i never used this, but i think it has to be simple

* CSV

* JSON

with a small script to calculate the SUMs/generate the result - eg. awk, perl, python, javascript, php ... whatever floats your boat scriptlanguage-wise ;))

or - lets start some rants ;)

* XML

with an XSLT-transformation ;))

Only two people injured after a million liter water wave was a miracle. Could have been much worse.

But I'm probably just hypothesizing too much [again] while trying to analyze the case. It just feels strange coupled with the last long chain of strange events happening right now. To be fair, twenty years are a lot of time for an acrylic tank.
Things get interesting when you start minimizing the total system cost of the solar panels + batteries. Household power usage peaks at dusk and dawn.

In on extreme, you can either aim panels for optimal daily production (minimizing panel count) and buy more batteries, or aim extra panels at the horizon so that you don't have to store as much electricity for peak times (minimizing battery count).

In practice, something in between the two extremes probably makes the most sense, though most installers err toward minimizing panel count these days.
Is shorter worse? I recently checked out "The Rise and Fall of the Roman Empire", one of the volumes on the list in my little black book from back before Kiva Han became a Chase Manhattan branch, and was surprised how thin it is.

(I also begrudgingly reread Lolita and Animal Farm, both of which aren't exactly War and Peace in terms of page count... believe it or not, you can use "GRE words" outside the GRE when writing literature.)

Maybe folks should worry about whether their book will be read for generations instead of being payola'd into some airport lobby.
There are a select few agents who specialize in literary fiction. If you start a naive search of literary agents, you will find that their stated interests zero in on books that are of the political moment. The majority of agents are looking for a book, preferably young adult fiction, that focuses on a protected class, of which the author should also be a member. This is not a complaint, but the evident regression to the mean, which is really no more than an acknowledgment of market forces, is available at a glance. Books are no longer commodities whose primary purpose is to be read. Rather, they are meant to capture an upswing of interest in a particular topic, and then become more widely celebrated than widely considered.

The fact is that most works of literary fiction written today are simply not up to snuff. Although there are writers devoted to their vocation, they lack a context in which to work. Literary agents cannot contribute to the process of writing. A kind of grassroots appreciation of the benefits intrinsic to reading and writing literature needs to take place, in my opinion, if we are to produce any great works of literature.

I think the chargeback here was a personal "go f yourself" move from the supervisor to a "troublesome" client, not Google.
As someone coming from Haskell and learning Common Lisp, I can say that Lisp just feels mature. It feels well thought out and logical. I can read the entire HyperSpec and it makes sense and it’s precise and there’s not a pile of language extensions. Haskell has inner beauty but the huge warts of something that is newer and more experimental.

Partially as a result of all this, Lisp has other things that Haskell lacks, such as good editor support and a great REPL. Haskell editor tooling is awful and although it has a REPL it’s nowhere near as good as Common Lisp’s.
No I don’t use Android on any device.
So what you’re saying is that the FAA shouldn’t publicly post flight data?

Because that’s the issue, the data is already public. it’s not about whether we have a right to track planes or other vehicles, it’s that plane coordinates are already public information.
It's a tool most of us use for many thousands of hours a year. Buying a better one, even if it was only a bit easier to use, or a bit faster, makes a lot of sense.

Also, many developers (not all) make a lot of money. Even Sublime's steep 60 bucks, which when I discovered Sublime as a student was crazy to me, is reasonable when compared to our salaries.

I don't think anyone would be surprised if a woodworker said "Yeah my drill works fine but I'm going to spend 60 bucks on a slighly better one; I use it a lot and mine's ergonomics aren't great."
>You point out that _also_ needed the move to array-based things to take full advantage of it, to minimize trips across the python/C boundary if I understand right.

So yes and no. Moving to array-based operations removes the need for the for-loops in python that are slow. So you can do more on the C backend than in the slow Python frontend, by changing to an array-based style.

If you did this for single numbers, the boundary operations would be too much to make this useful. By moving the array into the backend we have a lot of computations in C, so it's useful to incur the penalty at the boundary.
> You should always get a refund by talking to support

In the original post, the author had multiple conversations with support, and the support agent told them to do a chargeback. And another support agent later acknowledged that the support agent was not supposed to say that, but that the ban remains in place regardless.
Too early for an official RCA, but the surrounding facts of the known temperature sensitivity of the aquarium, the energy reduction mandates in Berlin, and the unusual cold point to that as the most likely cause.

This poster on Zerohedge provides more details:

I am directly involved in the legal cleanup of this and can provide a little more detail as to what actually happened (Tyler, reach out to me you have my email if you'd like to verify my identity here).

The city of Berlin required the hotel reduce the ambient temperature of the hotel lobby to save on energy due to sanctions. Its been abnormally cold in Berlin the past few nights dipping down to -11°C last night and -12°C the night before that. The water is heated to a constant temperature above 30°C for many of the fish species that lived in the tank.

As the nights got colder and colder, the lower ambient temperature of the air surrounding the tank likely started causing deformations and hairline cracks in the bottom of the tank where the pressure is the greatest. Last night at -11° caused the ambient temperature to drop too low given the reduced heating in the lobby and is what it looks like caused the "sudden unintentional disassembly"/catastrophic failure of the tank.

Everyone is already lawyering up including the city, the HVAC manufacturer, tank manufacturer, HVAC installer, building engineer, hotel - the litigation is going to be fun to watch and work on.

What isn't covered in the news is damage. The tank in 2003 cost €13 million. Today its orders of magnitude more expensive to replace, some of the fish were quite exotic and are expensive losses in and of themselves. Then you have the damage to the hotel lobby and façade, electrical components of the building in the three-story basement are also effected and large amounts of water went into the parking garage where many vehicles are parked not only from the hotel and offices but from an attached apartment complex to the hotel.

Losses are tens of millions. All because the city made the hotel turn down the heat.
> Of course permanently.

Not if your motivation is avoiding the fraud the user just told you about. You'd investigate more.

Definitely not "of course".
Check out Tom Robbins if you haven't already! Here's the opening to Jitterbug Perfume:

> THE BEET IS THE MOST INTENSE of vegetables.

> The radish, admittedly, is more feverish, but the fire of the radish is a cold fire, the fire of discontent not of passion. Tomatoes are lusty enough, yet there runs through tomatoes an undercurrent of frivolity. Beets are deadly serious.

> Slavic peoples get their physical characteristics from potatoes, their smoldering inquietude from radishes, their seriousness from beets.

> The beet is the melancholy vegetable, the one most willing to suffer. You can't squeeze blood out of a turnip...

> The beet is the murderer returned to the scene of the crime. The beet is what happens when the cherry finishes with the carrot. The beet is the ancient ancestor of the autumn moon, bearded, buried, all but fossilized; the dark green sails of the grounded moon-boat stitched with veins of primordial plasma; the kite string that once connected the moon to the Earth now a muddy whisker drilling desperately for rubies.

> The beet was Rasputin's favorite vegetable. You could see it in his eyes.

> In Europe there is grown widely a large beet they call the mangel-wurzel. Perhaps it is mangel-wurzel that we see in Rasputin. Certainly there is mangel-wurzel in the music of Wagner, although it is another composer whose name begins, B-e-e-t——.

> Of course, there are white beets, beets that ooze sugar water instead of blood, but it is the red beet with which we are concerned; the variety that blushes and swells like a hemorrhoid, a hemorrhoid for which there is no cure. (Actually, there is one remedy: commission a potter to make you a ceramic asshole—and when you aren't sitting on it, you can use it as a bowl for borscht.)

> An old Ukrainian proverb warns, "A tale that begins with a beet will end with the devil."

> That is a risk we have to take.
Did you read your links? They seem like really good evidence against your position.

There are two individual people who happen to work for the TVA charged with individual crimes which don't implicate the organization.

There's a lawsuit from profit-seeking companies charging the TVA contracts are too long (perhaps true but there's no mention of profit).

Then there's a scandal about the TVA reacting badly to safety whistle blowers (bad! But also no clear link to "profiteering")
> According to Edwards’ data, 75 percent of truck owners use their truck for towing one time a year or less (meaning, never). Nearly 70 percent of truck owners go off-road one time a year or less. And a full 35 percent of truck owners use their truck for hauling—putting something in the bed, its ostensible raison d’être—once a year or less.

https://www.thedrive.com/news/26907/you-dont-need-a-full-siz...

So they're close on towing but way off on the bed.

It also overlooks that people who only buy ONE vehicle are best off buying a truck or largish SUV so it can do "all they ever need" - to have a small car you kind of really need to have a second vehicle that's larger, or it gets quite annoying.

The Reuters article I found said this:

> It was unclear if all the journalists whose accounts were suspended had commented on or shared news about @elonjet.

Also, I have never encountered a paywalled Reuters article, and didn't know that could exist! Could you link it? Also no reason not to link to paywalled material, paywalls hit the top of the front page all the time at HN.
If you’re correct that Snapchat etc. can be used to search for nearby queer people in the same way as Grindr, then that only goes to undermine your argument that teens will somehow be safer on one than the other. However, AFAIK, none of the apps you mention make it possible to search by sexual orientation. This makes them fairly clunky as a means of meeting queer people in your local area – especially if you are not in a large urban area.

The irony here is that you seem to basically agree with Roth. That is, you are fine with gay teens meeting each other via apps, but think that these apps should be age appropriate. For some reason you seem to think that Grindr is super scary, even though people do the exact same stuff on it (chat and share photos) that they do on Snapchat, Insta, or any number of other apps used by teens. An age-appropriate version of Grindr, which is what Roth was suggesting, would probably be *safer* than many existing apps. Snapchat, for example, will happily let you send nudes or other explicit imagery that can could quite easily be automatically blocked in the majority of cases.

By the way, if you think that Snapchat isn't full of 'men explicitly looking for hookups', I have news for you...
> When I emerge from these "Linux evenings", I wonder if the real problem is my attitude.

It isn't. I mostly use Linux and sometimes (work) have to use windows.

The exact same thing happens with windows if you try to do anything remotely techy on it.

The difference though is that "Windows evening" often end in failure because at some point, you hit the wall of a binary blob whose source code isn't online.
An email monopoly, perhaps, but not a comms monopoly. I bet the students have snapchat, whatsapp, fb messanger, etc maybe signal or telegram too. Plus mms and phone for 2fa. But yeah, email is quite special for password recovery so its a good point you're making.
As I don't thrust OpenSSL farther than the date of it's next zero day exploit with a fancy name, I'd rather be able to patch any mail server ASAP when the exploit is made public... unless there is a nice mail stack that works with e.g. LibreSSL (SMTP+IMAP+Webmail)...
Call your card and tell them to cancel the chargeback.
