Asking why he lied is like asking why the clouds rained on you. This is exactly the same mistake people make with Trump: you think he’s actually a human being who feels emotions and responds to them like the rest of us. But he’s really a sociopathic narcissist. They aren’t like us; they are purely driven by the drive for adulation and attention, and their lives as presented to us are fictional to the extent that they can get away with it.
I think he's hoping for a run in 2028. Possibly 2024, but that's a little close.

Buying Twitter would be a strategic campaign move.

Of course a lot of people now realise he's an asshole, and he's likely to lose a lot of money on the deal. So maybe that plan won't work out.

It's been a real case study in self-harm. Many who were neutral or positive before - because of Tesla, SpaceX, and some of his other projects - are now varying shades of hostile.

And he's unlikely to win over the fascist vote, because Flynn is going to have that locked up when he emerges from behind Trump's shadow.
I also don't like that difference in separation w/less visible likes/favourites.

Other than that I think what you're describing might well be a good feature for one of the frontends to support. Incidentally, since all of the profile info is available without auth, it's also possible to build an entirely separate profile browser that could offer that filtering for any profile.

EDIT: Mastodon in fact includes a profile browser for remote profiles; it's just that when logged out it will redirect to the remote profile instead of show the "local view" of it. So if someone wants to build a profile browser like that, all the necessary code for a good starting point is there in Mastodon already. Thought it might well be easier just to do it from scratch.
The Randian hero worship from people like that is actually one of the saddest things about this. It's so pathetic to see people, many of which you would think are accomplished enough to not degrade themselves like this, attach themselves to Musk like remora to a whale.
Oh wow, totally missed that - bonkers.
His point is that even if the reactor is free, it’s not competitive because of everything required to convert the heat to electricity makes it more expensive. That part has nothing to do with regulation.
Two winters ago I tried to drive my model 3 across North Dakota - never will I do that again. Range was cut in half and I had to stop at every single supercharger.
Lying leads to anger, and anger leads to engagement.

For some reason, most online communities appear to be fueled by stimuli that are exact opposite of what we find in healthy real life communities. It seems difficult to grow a social network with just positive feedback.
Exactly this. I've been homeless twice (once as a kid and once as a young adult). I don't speak about it often, but when I do that is the language I use. There is no need to sugar coat it, and call it something else. People are too coddled and it is likely why so many now have trouble handling any adversity at all.
The obvious answer would be: our current economic system is inherently inefficient in allocating resources.
Is the system failing? How is this not all actionable from a standpoint of fraud, failure to pay / breaking contracts, and threats? Why are there no consequences for these people? Just like the influencer who intentionally crashed his plane.

Paul and his manager are amazing in that they can’t even form a complete sentence. They’re just reaching for seemingly relevant words. It reminds me of Walter from The Big Lebowski when talking about amphibious rodents being illegal within city premises.

Just flip a coin.

Will give enough incentive to try and win, but also be fair to both if there's a tie.
People drive differently in really cold weather - they tend to idle the vehicle more (and spend time in it while idling more), drive slower, and on mushier surfaces (snow/slush/ice), etc. and that is without figuring mechanical stuff like thicker oil.

If someone isn’t driving highway distances all the time, ‘warm up’ is quite inefficient for ICE vehicles, and tends to run very rich.

Totally right that if those factors aren’t there, it should get better fuel economy.
Does it take months when there is no fraud?
Maybe North Korean will reconsider the wisdom of shooting missiles over them.
Most of their stuff doesn't directly serve ads, I don't remember ever seeing one on Google Assistant or in Gmail.

They seem to mostly just exist to do tracking to enhance the stuff that does do ads, or to add value to some other thing that shows them, but they're not directly ad supported, they're tracking supported or pure promotions.
People are hostile because it is personal, and people have indeed been hurt and harmed by the people in different situations.

It is difficult to maintain empathy for individuals who rob and assault you and your family.
I'd love to hear some predictions or metrics to look out for in the next few months/years. Tech valuations and free money have been frothy for so long, no one bothered asking what is actually needed to run a service at a meaningful scale, but we may have the answer soon.

I'm reminded of corporate raider Carl Ichan firing 12 floors at of people after spending some time and not being able to figure out what they do. The company was ACM (manufacturing railcars), about 30 years ago. Turns out those 12 floors of people were actually costing jobs in other place just to support them. Well he fired all 12 floors and nothing changed.

I find the language itself to be pretty clear, but since it would be absolutely insane* if crossposting the same content was prohibited, you think that they simply must have meant something else with that statement. Hence the confusion.

[*] To us, but apparently not to them, so let's see where this train is headed next.
A decent portion of the article was devoted to the physical disc option and how it's increasingly uncommon for that to even be offered as a choice.
Their main complaint and ask here is not the "decoy group", despite the headline. That is because they can't meaningfully complain that apple created a non union group to hear concerns and give employees a voice (regardless of whether it did). Such a complaint would be hilarious.

Instead, the main complaint is that apple held captive audience meetings and wants the NLRB to ban them.

As they well know, they are legal. The NLRB did ban them many years ago, and the supreme court overturned the ban. See https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captive_audience_meeting

Whatever one may think of them, it will take Congress or States to change it, not the NLRB. Congress was very close last year on it, too.

I've been using it the past few days, and it works great.
You have a global variable, count, which is involved in the calculation and isn't being updated in your clear. Your updated code in the comments does that. However, it doesn't make a lot of sense to do that, since you can just use the JavaScript variable. However, localStorage and sessionStorage persist on page reload, so it's useful in that scenario. Therefore to make use of that capability, you should do something like this:

function decreaseCounter() {
let count = parseInt(window.localStorage.getItem("count"));
count = count - 1;
window.localStorage.setItem("count", count);
}

all values stored in localStorage and sessionStorage are strings, so you have to convert to a number. You'd probably want a try/catch in there somewhere if count is not yet defined in the store, unless that possibility is dealt with elsewhere in your code. Also, the counter might need to check for boundary conditions (e.g. it can be negative here). But that is beyond the scope of your question.
For anyone thinking that Elon has changed - he hasn't, it's just that the mask is slipping more often due to stress and an increasing feeling of invulnerability.

He was like this 5 years ago - taking pleasure in publicly humiliating employees, attacking journalists, outbursts of rage during which he shouts and curses, lying, emailing journalists to write about him (in early days of Tesla).

I recommend "The sociopath next door" or the JCS channel on YouTube to understand this personality type.
Two very personal experiences to relate.
---
My father died 7 weeks after he was diagnosed with liver cancer - 11 days past his 62nd birthday. Prior to the diagnosis, he was going to take early retirement at 62 and travel with my mother. He had lots of other plans for post-retirement that he never got to realize.
---
A close friend of mine died of heart cancer (well, technically, he died from complications of having an artificial heart - but cancer ruined his natural heart). He had thought he'd beaten cancer before (in the leg) and after repeated clean-bills of health, he finally thought it was safe to marry his fiancé and have a couple of children. But instead, cancer re-emerged and claimed his life. He left behind his fiancé', grieving parents, sisters and left a large hole in the community.

So yeah - fuck cancer.
I just don't see how anyone with a modicum of intellectual honesty and consistency can still support this person on anything resembling principles.
I find it interesting how deeply downvoted this comment is. This is pretty much what TCI Management, a not insignificant investor in Alphabet, has said in a note that they published recently [0]:

TCI also pointed out that Alphabet's Other Bets division – which houses operations including Waymo, Nest, Access, Calico and more – generated $3 billion in revenues in the past five years but incurred operating losses of $20 billion. "Other Bets have been unsuccessful" and operating losses estimated at $6 billion in 2022 should be reduced by 50 percent.

"The biggest component of Other Bets is Waymo," TCI added. "Unfortunately, enthusiasm for self-driving cars has collapsed and competitors have exited the market. Ford and Volkswagen recently decided to shut down their self-driving venture" saying that achieving profit in the short term was not likely.

You would not use the UA for this - there are plenty of other safer detection techniques.
I'm going through so much whiplash from the speed of Elon's transition from "it's wrong for Twitter to decide who's public/newsworthy enough for a checkmark" to "we'll allow crossposting if we decide it's a newsworthy piece of content."

I guess we all expected this, but it's just wild how quickly it happened.
For Power Point and screenshare based videos, a screenshot every 15 seconds or so would be great.

Often enough I'd rather read than watch. Reading in faster. Having corresponding visuals would be a big plus.
Same as it ever was. I'm amused at how many people believed and still believe that it was going to be different this time. Hero worship and unrequited love for Musk is just bizarre.
Using twitter, linking to twitter, giving a twitter as your contact handle... these things are now markers of the Wrong Kind of People.

I wouldn't want to be one of those people, and I hope you wouldn't either.
> Snap, TikTok, LinkedIn

Idrk how someone would link to Snap, links to TikTok are really uncommon for some reason, LinkedIn is in a different market and is likely less of a direct competitor

> YouTube

This one is too big with no well known alternative, he wouldn't get away with it
I think someone should tell dang that the HN news font is too small. If hundred of people on HN complain about the small font size (including me), then the font size should be increased IMHO.
Don't ascribe motivations to me without evidence. This is not a defense of Elon Musk. I think this policy is stupid. But our criticisms of it should be correct. Otherwise we're no better than our opponents.
Partly luck sure, but Emi's gotten into his opponents heads quite well, if you've seen his other penalty shootouts (.. so many this WC). The little "shoot the ball away" tactic did cause the unforced error from.. one of the French players, cba to look it up.

> Mbappe has now score four times in two WC Finals. Not bad for a 23yo.

Yeah absolutely, he's taking the record for sure. He carried the team on his back. Messi's been doing that for longer though.
Because if they don't they have 60 days before they get deported.
We were all obviously hoping for interesting technology. In stead free advertisement is replaced by no advertisement? Even if all ad-tech would be terrible there must be 1000 less terrible applicable ideas of which 900 unoriginal.

Everything twitter reminds me of its early days when people argued we didn't need RSS anymore. How I mocked the platformists with the hypothetical. Had I told them exactly what is going on right now I wouldn't have believed it myself.

Maybe other social services will/should follow the example? I hear the new RSS spec will ban linking to other RSS feeds.
My guess is that they reverse course on this policy in 1-3 weeks. But my track record in this matter isn't great: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33466363 (tldr I predicted Twitter wouldn't change very much)
Ask HN: How do you learn to write technical specifications?
I came across two posts recently which inspired me to do a more thorough job in my day-to-day life as an engineer:

1. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33439052
2. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33594264

At my current job, there is a lot of open field, and one can be creative about finding solutions. On one side, you really have to know and understand the business to come up with something "good". On the other side, I want to be able to clearly spec out what I am currently working on.

I most often jump head first into a problem, see if I can figure it out from the code, and think to myself: Once I know what I am dealing with, I am taking a step back and map it out on paper. Although, the second step rarely happens.

Next would be the case when creating open source libraries. I would like to start with an idea, and really spec out the broader implementation before jumping into coding.

So, dear HN crowd, what's your best insight into getting better at this?
Beyond Functional Programming: The Verse Programming Language (SPJ) [video]
I disagree. There’s a ton of profit margin on the table selling driverless rideshares and licensing the tech to other automakers. While Google will be able to serve a few ads during the ride, that will amount to a few cents of ad revenue vs. several dollars of transportation services. Tesla is already setting a price for full self driving that does not even work or exist at 15k, so the actual retail price could easily be tens of thousands, absolutely dwarfing the 5 year ad revenue per user, let alone the incremental increase from a few extra hours of screen time a week.
That doesn't explain the decline in shoplifting reports over the last decade. Presumably if all stores had been doing whatever that Target was doing (and I note that the store in question dropped back down to normal levels the following month), the overall rates would have been three times as high... and dropped at the same rate over the course of a decade.
They definitely handle it a lot better than ICE cars!

ICE cars, more than a week or two with any frequency is tempting fate.
True. It’s also called soccer in Australia and in Japan (transliterated as サッカー), too.

You can’t really expect people in all places to use the same words for things.
Yes, you can find several benchmarks on the language benchmarks game, for example. And I would expect that any situation where you use Spans in F# to outperform almost everything outside of native code (just like with C#).

Have you compared the two before?
I wasn't claiming that they did. The block heater keeps the engine warm to allow for easy remote start.
so ignore he's taken those steps because a elon tracking account potentially endangered his 2 year old son?
That's interesting! Got redirected to porn on clicking the original (non archive) link. What's going on here?
I can't wait until they return the favor.
Ultimately we exist in a society, a species even, that relies on persuading each other for support. Persuasion beats utility. Even very useful things often require persuasion to get people to use them.
Because you would have never supported him if he told the truth.
To add to the twist, rumor has it that Elon is a Chinese genetic hybrid.

John Leonard of MIT said something similar around the same time.

"Taking me from Cambridge to Logan Airport with no driver in any Boston weather or traffic condition — that might not be in my lifetime," Leonard told Bloomberg. (2018) (I think he actually said the "not in my lifetime" thing originally a few years earlier.)
Yes and no. Twitter is dominant for their slice of social media, as demonstrated by the fact that a lot of the people who think about leaving don't see viable alternatives. But I agree that US anti-trust law is so hands off at this point that there's no chance the FTC would do anything substantive here.
Died by suicide?

Suicide is a self-inflicted act; committed suicide is correct - and I say this as a man living on the edge.

To diminish that is to refuse to accept the underlying cause, which is a bad fucking way to stop it from happening again (or at least to someone else).

This whole damned list is retarded.

Most of the elements aren't even accurate; they're euphemisms.

Someone with OCD isn't 'detail-oriented' they're detail obsessed.

Why does “cushman-ml” suggest a 12B model instead of the 175B model?
I don't think there's any 4D chess going on here with Twitter.

He signed the deal when the market was way up. He was probably riding high and overconfident on his wealth. The market corrected, his wealth dropped and he tried damn hard to get out of the deal. Turns out the deal was hard to get out of so he's trying to make the best of it.

I think he's earnestly trying to make Twitter successful and profitable. This is just his best effort.
If I were a conspiracy theorist, I’d say it’s because Tesla wants to be present in the Chinese market and angering Chinese state-associated media may be an issue here. But the more benign answer is that twitter has no video hosting and this must allow video links to YouTube, TikTok and other video hosting sites.
Interesting!

> I don't know if that means the better "team" wins, but if that's the point I think is up for debate too...

Of course you should keep in mind that if you want the better team to win with a p-value of e.g. < 0.001, then you will have to play hundreds of games ...
The made up story was talking about those soldiers getting radiation sickness (which requires radiation levels millions time higher than the one you'd find there).

If the Russian soldiers get problems from their trench digging endeavor, it won't be seen before many years, when a small percentage of them starts getting cancer. (needless to say, the increases mortality from the said cancers will be negligible compared to the mortality induced by being invading soldiers in Ukraine).
I’m not completely sure, but I thought he was a benign enough guy?
When people use long winded euphemistic language directed at me I feel condescended to in direct proportion to the extra syllables used. The fact somebody is spending energy talking in awkward ways only to me reminds me of the fact that I'm in the class of people that are talked euphemistically about. So I've never understood what the point of such language actually was.
If somebody is demanding you to say "property owner" rather than "landlord", that person is your enemy.

There is tons and tons of evidence that Musk is moderating capriciously at this point.
> on the warpath - mad, on the offensive

So "sanity", "crazy" and "handicapped" are offensive language, but "mad" is a preferred alternative for something else?

> victim - person who has experienced..., person who has been impacted by...

Person who has been impacted by murder? Many of those suggestions are so verbose and impersonal.

Those alternatives would just become the new slurs, just like people are called Karen nowadays this list would make people call others "boring" instead of retard. And then we have one problem more: how do you then call something boring without sounding offensive?
I find this list very unenlightened.
You might have missed the part where I write: "as long as we as a society make no public concerted effort to cure these people and leave them to the mercy of the markets...". Everything follows.

This isn't the full story either though. You can be in possession of a file that has a DRM encryption applied. If the service revokes you keys, that encrypted file in your possession is worthless. So, do you really own that file?
I think not a journalist, but a journalist's source [1].

I think the facts are something like:

- Martin Tripp, a Tesla employee working at the Gigafactory, leaked to a journalist that Tesla was wasting a large amount of raw material when making batteries

- Tesla identified that the leak came from Tripp and fired him

- Musk told the local sheriff and The Guardian that they had been tipped off that Tripp intended to come in and shoot up the factory

- Tripp disputes that he wanted to shoot up the factory

- Tripp was visited by police

- There was a civil lawsuit from each side, Tripp ended up having to pay $400K for leaking his employer's corporate trade secrets
