>I'm pretty sure this will be the tipping point for most average users

I don't think so. Musk is doing the same thing Trump did - a new outrage every day to keep the masses coming back. It's far more important to generate controversy than anything else and he can get a whole new day of Twitter views when he changes the policy again next week.
I can think of a few popular OSINT accounts I follow that have linktree links in their profile. They're still primarily active on Twitter and even posted that they'd even prefer to stay there. I wonder if waking up to their accounts suspended will be the impetus to finally get off.
Even I can't think up a devil's advocate argument for this one. This is stupid.

If Twitter isn't to be the place for media platforms of all sizes to announce their publications in whatever media, then what is it to be? AOL again?
Will the platforms he's censoring also block links to twitter? Seems only fair.
Awesome in stupidity, because there is also not a fake good reason like "there are bad content that we don't control there so we want to protect our users" but just "you should stay here and we forbid any link to a platform we don't own".

Also that it is not a rule that is there since ever, like apple could have done, but a sudden change after an already controversial situation.

It is awesome to see how Elon is behaving like a spoiled kid! I really hope that twitter financial will crash so that he will be ruined and the platform will be sold by the bank he used for the LBO.
Maybe this is a bit off topic, but does anyone know the legal footing of having a business with another businesses name in it? For instance, this tool uses the word "YouTube" in its name, though it is used as only a part of it, and it is not a competitor. I've always wondered how this works.
Great to see a developer-friendly tool around OSV! Packj [1] uses OSV APIs to report vulnerable PyPI/NPM/Rubygems packages. Disclaimer: I built it.

The writing has been on the wall for years. He swatted a journalist for being critical of Tesla. At this point anyone that still supports him is willingly looking away.

Edit: he swatted a whistleblower, not a journalist
My read on that is that they allow the content to be cross-posted, not linked

The irony is Jack has invested in and actively promotes nostr.
I think a lot of keyboard ergonomics comes down to the facts that some people do anything to avoid moving their hands, and others don't.

If you don't move your hand, you'll have to stretch your fingers, and might be better suited to a minimalist keyboard with function layers.
All in their 60s.

I remember saying the same thing about Trump's campaign.
Zooko's conjecture predates the invention of Bitcoin, and the article goes on to explain that blockchain-based systems can in fact have all three properties.
Truly wealthy people develop the habit of “getting rich slow” rather than “getting rich quick.” To assure this, they have two rules with regard to money. Rule number one: Don’t lose money. Rule number two: If ever you feel tempted, refer back to rule number one, “don’t lose money.”
When MS bought github many people moved to gitlab and started to advertise their gitlab IDs. I too put my gitlab in there. But ultimately, gitlab didn't catch on on a permanent basis: most devs still are on github, thanks to network effects. People removed their gitlab mentions.

I feel the same with the "find me on mastodon" twitter bios: people will realize that only 50 of their thousands of followers can be found on mastodon, and then move back in a few weeks after giving up on the experiment. During all that time they have still kept most of their activities on twitter because there is simply more going on there, more replies to their tweets, more tweets to reply to, etc.

banning them might have actually the opposite effect here: then they get forced to focus on mastodon. Having a large number of users advertise mastodon ids and talk all day long about how horrible twitter is on twitter actually drives engagement. Banning large numbers of users is very bad for engagement on the other hand, but very good for mastodon engagement numbers.
In 20 years some of us are going to be telling stories like this at the dinner table as our grandkids are turning pale and absolutely mortified that grandpa just referred to another human being as “a BIPOC”.
"World Soccer Championship"? Are we in some football simulator game that doesn't have a license to use the real name of the competition?

It is colloquially called the Football (or Soccer) World Cup. The official name is the FIFA World Cup.

I was rooting for France, but congrats to Argentina and Messi.

Edit: Thank you to whoever changed the title.

And we should criticize historical communist leaders accordingly, instead of criticizing socialism whole cloth.
Newspeak in other words.
Absolutely. Its creating code that’s going to production. Not a “trick” or a toy
I believe it doesn’t fit the generic laws against anticompetitive practices, mostly because they don’t have dominance in any market. Compare Apple’s iOS stores.

There may be something in newer legislation which has made data portability a priority. And Apple has just changed its practice, but due only to very specific pressure.

So I’d say this is rather pathetic, but not illegal.
I propose one hate orgy every time he does something bad.
Wow, greatest ever final! Congrats Argentina and Messi.

Tough for France and Mbappe. Dead and buried at 80 minutes then took it all the way to penalties.
I think you missed this part:

> At both the Tweet level and the account level, we will remove any free promotion of prohibited 3rd-party social media platforms, such as linking out (i.e. using URLs) to any of the below platforms on Twitter, or providing your handle without a URL

This reads like they will actively delete or mute your tweets that link out to these platforms and try to promote alternative presences. This is in absolutely no way any level of reasonable
I think this view is giving a free pass to the malicious psychological manipulation involved by the scammers, in other words, victim blaming.

Anyone can be a victim of a scam, and nobody is at fault for falling for a scam except the scammers and the lax law enforcement around it.
that even generalizes to having "adopted" rescue animals, i confess and know innumerable others would too: one adopts them because they're good earthlings too, and while not genetic offspring, adopters feel they join a family which you don't want to have disrupted by horrid illness.
I think you first have to answer the question about why you want to blog in the first place. Do you want to get revenue from it? Do you want to share your knowledge with others? Do you want to signal about how skilled/smart you are? Do you want to build an archive as a memory for your future self?

Then, after answering this question, ask yourself - is blogging the best way to achieve the goal? This is what led me to delete the small blog I had and concentrate on better things.

With regards to how you find other interesting things to read - nowadays mostly by marginalia search [1]. I've found that I rarely want to read more than one or few posts from a specific blog. Most blogs are not narrow enough and you find a lot of different subjects covered. So it might be better to specifically look for things you are interested in, rather than follow all articles in a blog by a concrete author.

Actually only links to profiles calling for follow. If I understand correctly.
Ah well, it looks like Twitter will go the way of MySpace
I prefer using Al, as in Weird Al Yankovich. Once you've gotten used to writing Al you'll never write AI again.
Jet Set Willy was one of the largest video games of its day and took roughly four and a half minutes to load from tape on the ZX Spectrum. I was telling our teenager about this the other day while she was waiting for GTA5 to load on the PS4. And waiting, and waiting... for about five and a half minutes.

I used to use WordStar on a CP/M machine well into the 1990s because at most its 5.25" disks kept you waiting for two or three seconds.

I genuinely believed that he would try to allow more free speech on Twitter. There was a small chance that the experiment will succeed.

I guess he never wanted that: he just lied. But why?

They really are competitors, in the sense that intermittent sources, and fixed cost dominated sources, are both inflexible, and compete with each other on that basis. Cost optimized solutions for the grid typically contain a lot of one and little or none of the other.
dumb. Let Twitter die.
Twitter is competing for Parler’s audience now. This is just accelerating that process along.
Security guards legally could do more than observe and report, but for understandable reasons (liability and pay, I assume) it is the policy of large stores not that do so.

Moonlighting police officers are better trained and cost a lot more money. But it still makes sense to me for the stores to spend this money, as opposed to taxpayers paying for more police in an effort to prevent and/or interdict these property crimes at these stores, something the police force was never designed to do, nor is legally obligated to do.
If you squint inhumanly hard you can argue I live in my country's sixth biggest "city" (ie a contiguous area of urban and semi-urban development - but under such a view the city's "name" doesn't make sense to the people who live in it and that city doesn't have good public transport as a whole because it's not really a city)

But the city I actually live in (the one whose residents recognise its name) is only a couple hundred thousand people, and it has good enough public transport that I lived here for almost thirty years now with no desire to own a car. Have I gone in somebody else's car to an event? Yeah, maybe a few times per year. But day-to-day and week-to-week I don't need a car. I have a license, I own a car parking space, I could easily afford a car, but it makes no sense to buy one, so I don't.
So I need to setup prometheus, granfana, node exporter, and cadvisor before running this? All of the above give me everything I need to monitor a swarmcluster. And if I want multi-user access to the graphs, I’d configure auth in Grafana.

Further, if I were to monitor Swarm without the Prom+Grafana stack, I’d be looking at:

Oh! That actually makes a lot of sense now. Thanks :)

The obvious difference is that Github didn’t immediately start spiraling the drain in the most pathetic manner possible.
“The Special One-Time Assistance (SOTA) program provides one year’s full rent up-front for eligible Department of Homeless Services (DHS) clients to move within or outside New York City.”

So, NYC gives homeless people a year of rent anywhere those people think they’ll be able to make it work, including NYC. And the program seems to save the city money.

Network effects are devilish even without ethically just plain evil intervention from the benefactor of those network effects.

This is just ethically abhorrent behavior. No good governance.
Never is a very long time. And the big thing I don't see this article discuss is how cost curves change over time. I remember reading articles in the 1990s using the same logic to say how electric cars were never going to happen because although electric cars were improving, internal combustion cars were also improving and so electric cars would never be better. Most technologies have a sigmoid adoption curve and something resembling an inverted logarithmic cost curve. Does wind power beat the pants off of fusion, and even fission right now? Of course it does! But where is wind power technology in its lifetime compared to them? Is wind power going to cost 10 times less 200 years from now? Maybe, but I don't see that as a given. Wind power is really hitting its stride right now, so it's kind of like comparing your favorite sports team against whoever happens to be winning right now, and saying "oh this is inevitable". Of course the winning team right now happens to currently be the winning team. Wind wasn't the inevitable winner in 1920, and I have no idea how the Golden State Warriors will do in 2191 either, assuming they are around.

So, unless "never" really means "not anytime soon", you need to look at what fusion can do instead of what it can do with existing design concepts. Fusion is fully capable of direct conversion, even without aneutronic fusion, as long as you are willing to throw away waste heat on par with internal combustion engines. My own D+D design included this feature back in the 1990s. The reason why you don't see the big projects focus on this is because it does you no good until you actually have enough fusion for ignition (or an equivalent state), and on most designs it would be an added cost or complication.

It's too bad, because I actually agree with what the article says in the final paragraph (and I've been saying that since 1995). Fusion development does have a real issue with a need for funding, and how that funding is obtained and directed. It would be nice if we did better in this generation. But give it a couple of hundred years, and it's likely that will change at some point. Never is a very long time.

I havent had projects with auth, so i wont know if php or js is a good fit.
You probably do. My mentees are all very biased. I pick the ones who have a good head on their shoulders. We all had that friend who was an “old soul”. I spent a lot of my teens socializing with 30 year olds (bike club) so I’m probably seeing myself in these junior developers.

But not a year has gone by but I wish I had a time machine, not just for myself but for a friend who had big dreams when we were 16-26 and never found their way. Of the dozen smartest kids in our high school, one became a doctor (but married to the slacker in the group), one a lawyer, one a salty cynical programmer. I found one managing a movie theater a year after dropping out. One I imprinted on in college, because I thought she was so world-wise and knew what she wanted to be, ended up becoming a stay at home mom, never really had the writing career she hoped for. Student loans were part of that dynamic, which is another decision we put on children (see also John Mullaney).
“You can't run Confluence on SPARC based hardware.”
This feels a bit revisionist to me. There's a long and storied history of conmen, charlatans, and scam artists going back to at least thousands of years and probably to the dawn of human culture.

I haven't seen any evidence yet that would lead me to believe the rate of scams are rising or that there's been a significant change in human behavior regarding this recently.
Ive just had my first child, shes 7 months old. Tbh the responsibility (coupled with the fact that im a bit of a hypochondriac) can sometimes feel overwhelming. Im blessed that i have her, but damn.
That would be a great start. And it would also force us to acknowledge that a lot of the things that we are doing with these animals are utterly un-ethical.
Well thank you, I take it as a compliment

This is a good critique, but there is nothing specific to YAML in it. For any data serialization format (XML, JSON, Avro, protobufs), a schema in a schema IDL is a good idea and often required. However, the schema alone cannot tell you everything a user should know about the data.

The thing I frequently see is systems where there is a source file in a schema IDL and one comment per field as the "documentation". This is something, but for most non-trivial data there are things that should be documented at a higher level than the field.
I’d disagree that S2 is where the show went wrong. It holds up quite well on rewatch, with probably 3-4 of the best overall episodes.

Ironically, I think Nolan & Joy made the same kind of mistake Dr. Ford criticizes in the premiere: They forgot why people wanted to watch Westworld. Fundamentally, the show was about the park, with all its mystery and detail. They seemed to think it was actually about the ideas around AI, consciousness & free will they wanted to explore. Those were modestly compelling, and enough to ride the momentum of the first couple seasons to some passable storytelling assisted by some great performances. But not the same show at all & the plummeting audience reflected that.

I've also had a variation of this thought, and have received mostly revulsion from my fairly technical social circles.

When most people think of "public transit", they only picture busses, trains and multi-billion dollar corruption-laden mass transit projects. However, in many cases, it is far far cheaper to (as a municipal government) purchase and operate fleets of self-driving electric vehicles. Don't get me wrong, there are still cases where dedicated rights-of-way for trains make more sense, but we should be using the optimal solution for each given situation, and the optimal solution is not always "trains and busses".

"Public transit" can also be "publicly owned electric self-driving vehicles, making use of the roads that already exist". However, a lot of people have an entrenched opinion of "CAR BAD NO MATTER WHAT", with no objective basis of what "bad" is.
Lol, yeah. That game in 1986 must have hurt. One of the most beautiful goals of all time (which Messi has replicated twice), then that awful hand-of-g-d goal (which Messi, sadly, has also replicated twice).
Is this a copypasta? It kind of reads like one.

Agreed, and that’s as someone who grew up in North Dakota and now lives in the milder northeast US, near the ocean.

’d also be interested in seeing it colder for trips back to ND, sure. But the majority of folks in the US live in places where it isn’t as brutal as a North Dakotan winter, so doing a study at 20 F seems reasonable to me.
That's hard to do. We "can't" even agree to ban the stuff that brings us most of the cancers (i.e food poisoning, air polution etc). We are lab rats.

You're not allowed to link to any other social media. You can cross post, but you can't mention that it's a cross post, or link to where it's cross posted. There is no excusing this.

I thought Instagram doesn't allow any links at all in posts.

I think that's a bit harsh. Logan Paul is a good looking, tall, charming dude. He's highly prolific on youtube, and is also a boxer and a pro-wrestler on the side.

This is just what celebrity looks like in the 20s. I may find him distasteful too, but I am not the least bit surprised a lot of kids think he's cool and don't think it's some failure in parenting.
Can't be banned from twitter twice.
Jonathan Haidt's "Two incompatible sacred values in American universities"[1] seems particularly relevant here. He argues (among other things) that modern universities are undergoing a truth/social justice schism, and that attempting to advance both inevitably perverts both.

Nostr is perhaps the most interesting of the list. Fully decentralized; messages are cryptographically signed; users are identified by their private keys; following is done on the client side, with no stateful server-side component; messages broadcast via stateless relays.

Overall design seems very simple. It feels a bit like email, in the sense that you could probably put together a barebones implementation like sendmail and still be fully functional.
Pure speculation, but maybe this was exactly what he wanted. He originally didn't want to buy Twitter after changing his mind, he was forced to. Maybe this is in a sense his retribution for what he perceived originally as the "botting problem" or whatever else he dislikes about Twitter, by burning the thing he was forced to take ownership of to the ground.

Many people say social media is unhealthy. Is Elon trying to say with the capital he wields that everyone is better off without it? (Even though I think this is a terrible way of doing it, as it places his other companies as collateral.)
They are not banning links to other platforms:

"We recognize that certain social media platforms provide alternative experiences to Twitter, and allow users to post content to Twitter from these platforms.

In general, any type of cross-posting to our platform is not in violation of this policy, even from the prohibited sites listed above."
"blind review" is good - better than "non-blind review". So in some sense they are eliminating phrases where "blind" is used in a positive light.
