it was an incredible game. Argentina was cruising along nicely till 79mins and then the penalty happened and a minute later an equalizer. who would have thought that. followed by an engaging 30mins of overtime. wow. as a neutral, it was entertaining. Happy for Messi.
I'd say more that there have been years of fawning comments with no value over Elon being a genius... Those low quality comments are turning to follow the trend to Elon hate. Call it virtual signaling, following the crowd, echo chamber. It happens. I see the same thing for the hype cycle with kube and other tech cycles as well. It's actually an indirect benefit for me with hn as it's usually ahead of the hype cycle.
Sort of. Your “max” vertical reach eventually puts your ladder / tower truck too close to the building. Either for collapse or other reasons.

Re 360 - no and yes. Someone will always do a full building walkaround. But I was thinking more of the interior corridor.
In another 10 years, a good chunk of their current "Consider using" suggestions will also be "problematic"
No one beats aging. But he's still amazing at 35.
A better approach I've heard someone coin is: after 90 minutes, you start taking away one player from both teams, every 5 minutes.
Trains are a completely different beast: they can't stop in line-of-sight so the complexities are mostly in engineering a safe (and failsafe) path for the train, rather than the driver watching for obstacles. There are self-driving systems, but they look quite different from self-driving cars and likely have zero AI.

Buses, on the other hand, maybe.
I generally agree. I used to be so angry when someone said it. Fuck cancer? Fuck you. What do you know about how I’m feeling?

I learned two things over the years : 1. everyone “knows something” about cancer. 2. I can’t control culture and language.

To be honest though, many years later… I still haven’t found a single phrase anyone can say that doesn’t make me think, “I wish we could just not be having this conversation.” I remind myself that there are no words but people are still trying.
I don't get it either, but I think I understand why people do.

First is that collecting stuff can be fun. There's an element of the "thrill of the chase" tracking down individual items, and of discovering new things, and of completing a project of some kind. There's also sometimes an element of belonging to a community, The hobby of collecting becomes an activity in and or itself.

Second is that it's not entirely about scarcity. Baseball cards are desirable because people like to follow sports and athletes and stats. Funko Pops are desirable because people like pop culture and want figurines of pop culture figures. Fine art is desirable because it ostensibly looks nice (or fits some other definition of "art"). Most NFTs are also "art" or otherwise visually interesting, and moreover represent some kind of techno-futuristic optimism that appeals to people.

Of course, things get a little hairy once "real money" gets involved. There are orders of magnitude more money involved than, say, rare books or Magic: The Gathering cards, and the fact that everything is digital and highly liquid (in the financial sense) makes it all seem a lot more accessible. And of course that accessibility, coupled with the thing being poorly understood and widely hyped, makes it a uniquely tempting arena for scams and financial speculation.
I wonder how hard Twitter will try to find all the Mastodon servers (other than Mastodon.social) in people's bios?
At what point do these journalists just say "nah I don't want to use Twitter anymore, Elon has shown he is a random and hypocritical leader of the platform."

The Stockholm syndrome is strong with these people.

> People saw Logan as different (6th minute)

Different how? Isn't he the guy who went all the way to Japan to film bodies of dead people in the so-called "suicide forest" just to have a big laugh about it?

How likely is it that this kind of personality will take your money and laugh about it, and laugh about it more if it ends morbidly for you?

I know it's wrong, but I have a hard time feeling sorry for people who give money to someone like that. I mean, I'm sorry they're hurt and I'm sorry they're broke, but they really really should have known better.
maybe low-quality comments will drive you to consider the nature of Reality, it could be a game-changer for you. wide-eyed curiosity, steel man, high quality good faith sanctimonious snobbery, I am human not a bot.
I don’t think he lied. I don’t think it’s even hypocrisy - he just put very little thought into his previous belief and changed his mind.

He’ll do it again later. That’s why you shouldn’t believe what he says. It’s _not_ that he’s _lying_ - he believes what he says when he says it - he just has no care for consistency and will change his mind whenever it looks prudent, without regard for others.

I am not defending this. It may have helped him to business success in the past, but it is severely damaging to interpersonal relationships. It is a terrible way to live a life.

"Error: transcripts disabled for that video"

Why?
If there's one thing that merits heavy FTC action it's this. It's clearly anticompetitive, and it's clearly bad for consumers.
Any non-abserd definition of free speech concerns the expression of ideas rather than allowing hyperlinks to competitor platforms. I don't see this as a violation of free speech at all
Quite possibly much worse but a bit too early to tell. It's getting there though. And I feel some sympathy for Hughes, none for Elon. Hughes was never outright malicious though probably lots of what he did had a net negative effect.
>he just lied. But why?

People are gullible. It was pointed out by many parties the various ways he had suppressed the speech of others over the years, especially of his workers. Yet just because Elon Musk said he was for free speech, people believed him. Yet it would be unreasonable to expect somebody who doesn't especially value speech in the workplace to make twitter more pro-speech. Musk is not some civil libertarian.

I think honestly the history of social media is sites which started out with close to a policy of free speech absolutism slowly changing as cracks appeared. Jack Dorsey is gone, Aaron Schwartz is dead, Zuckerberg is in decline. The experiment already happened and speech gradually became more and more curtailed.
It's a decent interpretation of at least some of the phenomenon. E.g. "latinx" has become an upper middle class shibboleth with close to zero participation from the people "being protected from harm" by the neologism.

https://www.pewresearch.org/hispanic/2020/08/11/about-one-in...
Depending on what people mean by "socialism", a label so heavily overloaded it could refer to anything from mild social democracy to full communism, you're not going to get better free speech.
I will certainly grant that Elon spent $44 billion for his new toy and so he can do whatever he wants with it, but like...c'mon. At some point, I hope people who were gung-ho about Elon Twitter will re-evaluate their priors.
The worst is yet to come, I'm staying tuned if he really bans all those mastodon accounts. It's one thing to institute a policy and then remove it again once you realize that people are not following it. It's another thing to follow through with it.
Sorry to disappoint you, but these are my real views.
Almost as embarrassing as someone localising someone else’s name eg Juan to John
What position does Coffee have to not worry about these legal threats?
Seems like a Door in the Face gambit where someone makes a big ask, gets rejected, and then knows they will face excellent odds of their second, smaller request getting accepted.

I’m guessing this policy stays up a week before FB/Instagram are removed from the list.
This is starting to become verbal gaslighting: if you don't mention it, it doesn't exist.
Thank goodness SoundCloud is not on the list, considering that is the traditional thing to plug under a tweet that goes viral.
France were poor up until the 75th min then showed up. Argentina thought it was in the bag at 2-0 but then France did what France do. Messi was a passenger from the 2nd half on and was out of steam in ET. France blew it late in ET with two golden chances. Winning on penalties is a crap shoot so down to luck. Mbappe was really the star of this WC Final dragging France back from the brink and nearly getting them over the line. Messi didn't have a great game from HT.
Thank you. I was speaking to the interior corridor(s), when fire is blowing from the “road side” - going to the corridor will be attempted next.

And not only speculation, he tweeted this in October 2022:

Wasn't it the other way around? Instagram disallowed previews on twitter

The other reply explains it better than I could.
Right, these guys are really going balls to the wall with this insanity.
> I don't remember posts about Putin, someone who's actually dangerous, getting such ridiculous replies

Well, Putin never had a fan base on HN. There wasn't anyone arguing "Putin is actually the savior of humanity". There's no "I told you so" aspect to Putin.
No, it will not get Carmack banned, because he is not promoting his FB account. He links to a news worthy post.

Not entirely sure if that is true in North America, both Canada and USA.

To be fair, it typically costs about $50 for a block heater which allows you to start below 40 degrees in an ICE.

Whats the solution for EV?
I think that’s different. It’s nice to not have shitty circumstance be your identity.

I’ve got a friend who was recently homeless. Thinking of him as a “homeless person” isn’t really so helpful.

That said, I think developing a thick skin should be a curricular objective for all people.
I think the actual internal business model is motivated more by the desire to capture the Tik-Tok audience than the Parler audience - it's much larger.

However, it is true that from a purely business viewpoint, you'd want a platform that was equally popular with left-Democrats, right-Republicans, and unaffiliated-independents.
There's gotta be a line between victim blaming and outright victim stupidity. I think these people who fell for these scams may be on the latter half of that line.
Apparently Twitter would likely loose in Germany if this ever gets in front of a court, ironically due to free of opinion -> https://sueden.social/@Anwalt_Jun/109536044985684272
JavaScript already has undefined as a primitive that could be used to signify you are not passing a list as opposed to passing an empty list.

I think we are talking around agreement here, which is that JavaScript was not particularly well-designed.
Health issues cutting his career short ensured he won't be in consideration for most people. That said, he truly was phenomenal. Absolutely one of the most amazing to ever play the game.
LOL I completely forgot that was the narrative a few weeks back. I guess things will be thrown at the wall until they stick.
With every new thread about Twitter I lose more respect for this community. It is comment after comment of sneer, puerile insults, and caricaturally one-sided remarks.
Those are some good changes, I also change to something like:

> Twitter is competing for Parler’s audience now. This is just accelerating that process along.

What was Parler's audience exactly?

I was too busy smoking weed and complaining to people on my burner phones my hard drive wasn't big enough to download the Blueleaks and I was too broke to buy server space to check it out, but it felt like that thing spun up fairly rapidly, then imploded when someone scraped the entire thing and put it up on Bittorrent.

Is there some other place, like some kind of KKK festival, where these people gather outside the internet? Or is it just the same ball of hate that bounced from LUE to SA to 4chan to like... seven different places to trade CSAM... then they all ended up back together on 8chan when the DNS providers started yanking services and they had to abuse the magic of onion services?

(Sorry if I'm violating the guidelines by going full "Wolf Warrior", but I didn't waste my 20s on civil society so rude MFers could talk about shooting up houses of worship -- I did it so they'd be able to overthrow their totalitarian rulers like we should have done back in 2009 when they were LRADing me and my girlfriends or whatever on my way home from the University of Pittsburgh film club I was a member of back in the day... if I'd known then what I know now, I'd have gotten an MFA and a revolver instead of "All But Dissertation" and a stack of business cards.)
Yeah this website just extract the transcript that exists and displays it alongside the video. It's nice, but it's not doing the transcribing itself.
And also replace "sex" with "horizontal jogging" I guess. Ah the page is full of YPM references...

After 2hrs of unhealthy heart rate that penalty shootout was cathartic. I might be biased by Argentina winning though..
That's ableist.
Companies can run their private little clubs how they like, in accordance with law. The user is nothing but an ad revenue cow anyway. You should not entrust serious journalism or your communication to the benevolence of one private company. Time to move on from Twitter.
I think they're having a bit of fun :)

In some cases yes, but hardly in all cases.

Anecdotally, I know people with the same wealth as me or even wealthier who eat copious amounts of sweets in all forms and are also obese. Some people just don't have control.

But yes, proper education regarding nutrition is something that is sorely needed as most people are unaware of the dangers of eating sugar rich and calorie rich foods in large amounts.
here we go:

russia wins.

either in H2 militarily or in H1 by an (unconditional) settlement with "the west" - read the USA - in which case russia more or less will be able to dictate the terms of the agreement.

> This is just about people who basically stop using Twitter and post a link to follow their profile on a different social media site instead

Even if it was, censoring it is abhorrent.
> he just lied. But why?

Why not? Lying is cool, fun, makes people like you if you tell them what you want to hear, and even profitable. You can really inflate your stock values by simply lying about what you can achieve. It's not like there will be any negative consequences to this behavior.
Consider the entire genre of cyberpunk.
Sorry, I'm not following you here. The sensational-indignant OP, just like anything sensational-indignant of whatever political flavor, is obviously not in line with HN. That should be obvious both in theory (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html) and in practice (https://news.ycombinator.com/front). So it was correct for users to flag the submission. If people hadn't been flagging such things for well over a decade, HN wouldn't still exist.

I mean, if you want to argue that the story is actually a substantive and intellectually interesting one, containing significant new information (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&so...), and it's just the title that's sensational-indignant, that would be fine. But that bar is necessarily pretty high when it comes to garden-variety political pieces. If it weren't, then HN would just be a political site.

Edit: btw, adding comments definitely does not help a post stay on the front page - see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34041016.

Youtube didn't generate captions for that video
I’ve noticed a lot of entrepreneurs have those kinds of ambitions but nobody is hiring at the scale of WeChat (well, Tencent Holding). You’re talking about a platform/ecosystem that has tens of thousands of developers actively working on it. Twitter is in the opposite position having been cut down to the bone. Not going to happen.
Note that solar PV cost has come down by 3x since that was written, and wind similarly. There is no expectation that those will bottom out soon.

It does mean that to keep the cost of full systems falling, we need cheaper installation methods, such as rolling out rather than bolting up frames.
Our team is for sure heterogeneous, and it used to be all 3 OSes before we finally convinced the Microsofty to stop being a snowflake. But regardless, unless it's a very, very specialized team who all run Linux on the desktop, it's almost certainly going to deploy on different OS than one used on the desktop. Now with the M1 debacle, it's multi-arch, too

Anyway, I wasn't trying to lobby you but you said you used it for things you would have used golang for, and that's one of golang's major selling points in my circles, so it seemed like a reasonable question to ask someone who is in that ecosystem
Most backend nodejs stuff is microservice/serverless/front-end oriented, and what's not but is mature is mostly pre-async and pre-typescript. Then on top of that, rails/laravel can scaffold you extremely strong starting templates, like having working MFA and uploadable profile pics in less than an hour.

But if you need serverless/microservice for your existing app of any backend type, nodejs is low friction and highly productive.
Influencers cross-promote their social channels all the time, since each social media network has a different audience. An influencer might post how-to videos on TikTok, re-post to YouTube shorts, then re-purpose the same content as a micro-blog threads on Twitter.

There's even a cottage industry of link tree / bio landing pages that consolidate all of your social handles, featured posts, etc into one page. Are those bio sites going to end up banned on Twitter too? Seems ridiculous.

Wish I could remember the exact phrasing, but I once heard an exec I respect say "product moats don't just keep people in, they keep people out too" in reference to "building a moat." What he meant was that moats are usually thought of as a competitive advantage, but you can easily starve your core base by limiting integrations with competing platforms. His product thesis was "build bridges, not moats" and this ended up being a valuable insight.

Elon Musk is a deeply unserious person so it should come as little surprise that he attracts unserious discussion.

> cars at ground level are hidden from view and the pedestrians are walking in a completely pedestrian area at level 2 (I think)

Helsinki tries to do the same in an area called Merihaka. I don't like it. Feels "off". The lower (car+transit) level feels like the Morlocks in The Time Machine, or some other kind of sci-fi dystopia, and the upper level has weird entryways to the netherworld and no real grid of "streets" (or whatever) for locating buildings and also some trees (in big planters, one presumes) and how can you have healthy, respected trees that are more or less suspended in mid-air, disconnected from the Earth ?
Side effects of easy monetary policy and low education of the wealthiest population in the world.
Please don’t just move to another centralized platform. Mastodon is right there, and working.
The only remotely plausible explanation that isn't plain narcissism on Elon's part is the hypothesis I found on Matt Levine's blog (which he credited to someone I forget): Elon, by positioning himself as a conservative, hopes to convince Republicans to buy Teslas (and his other products).

There are a variety of problems with that approach — not least that he'd be aiming for the primary targets of oil company propaganda.
I know that's not what you meant but Tumblr is not free like your friendly neighborhood Mastodon instance or a foundation instance, it's for profit and paid for by advertisers and via paid features.
> Brave | do not use | This term perpetuates the stereotype of the "noble courageous savage," equating the Indigenous male as being less than a man.

Should we get rid of bravo then as well? I assume people making these lists have good intentions, but efforts like this really get lost in the sauce. They are effectively parodying themselves.
The problem with schools in poor neighborhoods has nothing to do with funding. You can see charter schools in the same neighborhood which get less funding radically outperform.
I agree with all of this, my only guess as to how some of these people could dump that much money into something without any due diligence, is perhaps their source of the investment was other crypto gains so it didn’t seem like real money in the first place. (Ie was not money they actually work for/earned nor ever had in their “fiat bank account”, so it all seemed fake/like Monopoly money.
I think this is the crux of the issue. Modern media makes an art of decontextualization, to the point where most of us experience the world as a series of disconnected narratives emerging from the ether only to dissipate just as quickly as they come. In this milieu the quixotic and paradoxical attempt to perfect language in the service of justice seems like a reasonable, plausible, and achievable goal.
reasonable and rational discussion:

"this is a dumb business decision"

"this is seemingly hypocritical based on his previous stated intentions"

"what might the motivation be here?"

"is this legal?"

these are some of the top responses that loaded for me:

"Thin-skinned narcissist buys criticism machine."

"Elon's mask has truly cracked, and he proves he is nothing but a febrile mind who has bought into his own hype. "

" Can't wait to see how the Elon lackeys - Marc, Lex, and Jason etc. going to bend over backwards defending this. "

"LOL!!! How thin Elon's skin must be."
If it was just a ban strictly on competitors then it would just be pathetic, but it's more than that.

This is a ban on advertising an online presence outside of Twitter, which makes the platform way less attractive to anyone who uses it as a secondary platform, as a way to communicate with followers, while mostly monetizing another platform (Instagram or FB for example). Now that they've done this, there's no guarantee they won't expand this policy in the future. If Twitter releases a short form video platform, tiktok will be banned. Maybe youtube will be banned too. Twitter has just become untrustworthy to creators.

That's all not to mention the casual users, who use multiple platforms and want to connect their friends. I've linked my Instagram to Twitter friends before, and now I'm not allowed to do it anymore.

This is a bad business decision, no two ways around it.
