I find it hard to believe that Delta (or any other major airline) wouldn't reciprocate. When I got rebooked onto an Alaska flight, the gate agents were openly annoyed at having to accommodate Delta passengers. However, the relationship between Alaska and Delta has grown more adversarial so who knows.

I should also add that a few years back when my Southwest flight out of SFO got cancelled I was able to book a seat on a flight out of OAK with a minimum of effort. I think I had to pay the difference in fare though. When it works, it works, but the go it alone attitude will only take you so far.

The "but we just do what the others do" claim (which is afaik false) also made this seem fishy to me.

Especially as every hacker knows: When there is data, this data will be abused, sooner or later. There hasn't been any recorded exception to this rule. Anywhere. Ever. It's like a law of nature.

That's why the zeroes rule of data protection reads: Do not produce data. Only not existing data can't be abused.
If constituent parts of bound states like atoms don't really exist as separate things, how come electrons in metals can move around readily? Is it that they're not really bound, or is it just that they 'attach' and 'detach' easily?

When I think of chemistry, it seems like even if there's some sense in which the bound atom is one big writhing mass of fields, the whole atom doesn't interract in a uniform way with the outside, right? The electrons interract with the outside a lot, the nucleus is harder to get to?

Is it wrong to say the layer of my onion exist as separate entities, when they seem to interract largely independently from the core of the onion, like they do in metals and chemistry?

Musk 100% cares about the opinion of the average person, yes. He is a insecure little boy at heart, which is why he is constantly trying to win the approval of the internet and shitposts like it’s an early 2000’s forum. It’s why he bought Twitter. It’s why him being booed at that Dave Chapelle show devastated him. It’s why he rapidly turned into alt-right idiot: because those were the only people still cheering him on.

If they're commissioned by Georgia, it would make more sense for them to be bound to explicit terms that require their work to go into the public domain. Shame on Georgia for not demanding/negotiating it that way upfront. IMO if their work becomes the text that legislators ultimately consult when considering new legislation, that deliberation should be public. If LexisNexis can't do it under those terms and no one else bids, Georgia should fund the work themselves.

Though I think it would be really excellent for the federal government to fund commercial open source software projects to satisfy the needs of state and local governments. So many of them have such uniform operations that you could accomplish a great deal by optimizing for the majority case.

Is _implicit_ collision illegal? I’m thinking in the game theory sense when there are two companies who look at the decision space of increasing, leaving the same, of decreasing prices.

Who says they agree about which miracles happened and in what order? The four canonical Gospels don't all report the same miracles, and even when they do, they disagree on the order, and the details. It is impossible to harmonise them into a consistent narrative without engaging in such historical implausibilities as insisting that two very similar miracles happened twice, simply because that's the only way of avoiding the contradictions in two different accounts of the same event.

But the reality is, most Christians never cared much about this problem. Exactly which miracles Jesus of Nazareth did or didn't do, and exactly which order he did them in, was never seen as particularly important by most Christians. Sure, there have always been some who have wanted to "smooth things over" by constructing Gospel harmonies (most famously Tatian's Diatessaron), but it has always been a minority concern. Ultimately, in Christianity, there is only one miracle which really counts (the Resurrection), with the virgin birth following close behind–the rest pale in significance. And, it is worth noting, that the numerous factional disputes which consumed early Christianity ("heresies"), almost none of them were concerned with questions of which miracles happened or which order they happened in, most of them were about more abstract theological questions, or else more practical matters (e.g. can sinful clergy perform valid sacraments, which was the central dispute motivating Donatism and Novatianism.)
> Questioning anything is "conspiracy theory" apparently

Nothing Elon has been criticised for recently has been close to the realm of science. The science and engineering debates are one thing. The baseless nonsense tweeted to get a rise and engagement are causing the issues.

Personally, I think the whole thing is childish on all sides. But brands have been lost for less, and there appears to be a real effect on Tesla’s perception, in America but also the world, that threatens both revenues and the international stack of subsidies its margins and growth depend on.
From https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html#comments

> Assume good faith.

As to your claims:

> Musk is known to be anti-LGBT

Since when is pointing to an individual's comments who is gay and criticising them (the person or the comments) "anti-LGBT"? I'd like to see the reasoning for that one. I thought it's because Roth brings up children in questionable comments, an awful lot. YMMV.

The next link's headline is "Elon Musk should apologize for mocking gender pronouns, says group that gave Tesla top LGBTQ-friendly rating" - why? Freedom of speech includes freedom to mock. Anyone wanting, nay, demanding their own pronouns is eminently mockable, trans or not.

Next link's headline is "Elon Musk's Twitter Reinstates Anti-Trans Activists on Same Weekend as Club Q Attacked". Aside from that being a shameless guilt-by-association fallacy, the policy changed after Musk asked the question "Should Twitter offer a general amnesty to suspended accounts, provided that they have not broken the law or engaged in egregious spam?"

Portraying a general amnesty as something targeted seems a tad misleading.

Next headline: “Not content with reactivating accounts that spewed anti-trans content, Musk’s Twitter has now banned a group that organizes to protect people at LGBTQ events from far-right violence.”

I had to do a bit of digging with this one. The banned group, the Elm Fork John Brown Gun Club, claim they were suspended for two tweets (from the link you gave):

> The reason given for its account suspension, an Elm Fork John Brown Gun Club contributor told The New Republic, was that it had violated Twitter rules against “hateful conduct,” with two tweets cited: a reply to the official account of U.S. Customs and Border Protection (“Mugging at gun point,” reads the reply to an unspecified CBP post) and another post with what seems like a retort to the perpetual conservative nonjoke about pronouns, “Every queer a riflethem.”

I don't understand why that would lead to suspension.

It turns out that they are part of Antifa and were involved in targeting a conservative activist[1][2]. Perhaps it is linked to tweets like the following by its leader? [3]

> For legal reasons, this is a direct threat. Enjoy your kneecaps while you've got them.

I can't tell. This tweet[4] from Musk in response to another thread by Ngo says:

> That is a disturbing story and very concerning that Twitter took no action, despite clear violation of ToS. Report in this thread for now.

So it seems possible that it may have been because those tweets were seen as threatening somehow, or for other violations that were previously, I'm tempted to write condoned but shall we say, overlooked?

Indeed. In every company developers have a very thick glass ceiling. The only way up is to make it to VP/CTO/etc. If you're not in sales (marketing...maybe) you aren't going to ever make the big bucks. Your pay will never be commensurate to your suffering.

So, just stop caring. It's weird how 3 words can be so hard to execute on. But after being one of the morons in the 20% I mentioned earlier I suddenly attained enlightenment after a very deep depression. It's truly a lesson that you seem to only learn once you're beaten into the ground despite doing everything right.
This makes no sense. VW is a public company, employing regular people, making good cars in Germany and elsewhere. No one brings up the past for Japanese, so not sure what the logic for punishing VW is?
I’m an avid snowboarder and mountain biker and live in a Colorado ski town. I had called detection and crash detection enabled on my phone and watch since it came out.

I was thrilled when I took a bad spill over the bars of my mountain bike at 30mph downhill and my phone offered to call 911.

I was dismayed when I started snowboarding this season and without falling my watch texted my emergency contacts and called 911 repeatedly on my first runs of the season.

I’ve now disabled it as my older mother doesn’t need another reason to be scared of her son doing extreme sports regularly.

Now I lost the extra safety the feature provided simply because it was incapable of understanding snowboarding behavior.
I fully agree. Corporations get away with stuff all the time because of the scale of the mistakes, when those are the times they should be punished the most.

Putting aside all things Elon: Tesla was arguably incredibly overpriced (pick your reasons) and in a falling market that price is correcting.

We like to construct simple narratives in which causes are few and their effects are clear. The real world is far messier than our stories about it. Perhaps Elon's actions at Twitter have played a factor here but to pretend that that is the sole (or even primary) cause would require some greater evidence than anecdotes of users who changed their minds about buying a Tesla.

It would be great to see some debate about this story in the spirit of traders discussing the merits of the business rather than a fans-vs-haters style discussion about Elon.

> The company would be fine without him

I don't think that to be true on the middle to long term, things would just settle into a nice local maximum for SpaceX/Tesla as companies but most of the real innovation would be gone for good. Just look at Apple, they're a nice $2 trillion company but they've got nothing Earth-shattering since Jobs has been gone.

To put it another way, without Musk there would have been no Starlink, which is an Earth-shattering thing in its own way (satellite internet for the masses is Earth-shattering). Without Starlink being possible the West wouldn't have had the same military results on the war front against Russia as it now has. Move Musk aside and who will come with the next Starlink?

Later edit: Speaking of the car industry and its strategic value, we all know at this point that Henry Ford was literally a Nazi sympathiser and a Hitler groupie.
That didn't stop him from doing business with Stalin's USSR since early in 1929, when the US hadn't established diplomatic relations with the Soviets just yet.

If it hadn't been for Ford and for the American vehicles Stalin and USSR would have found it next to impossible to defeat Hitler and the Nazis a decade later. Stalin himself praised Henry Ford in 1944, i.e. after Ford's direct contacts with the Nazis in the late 1930s.

> Stalin wrote to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, calling Henry Ford “one of the world’s greatest industrialists” and expressing the hope that “may God preserve him.”

In other words, without the help of Nazi-loving Henry Ford most probably the Nazis wouldn't have been defeated.

Like I said, hopefully there are still some cooler heads in the Pentagon who try to look at the middle to long term and try not to be influenced by the latest ideological scandals.

No it costs far less.
If Apple answer to that regulation is to go wireless and use a system that's compatible with other brands, that is a massive victory for the EU and the planet in terms of reduced waste.

The goal was to reduce waste and they already included in the same regulation that if companies don't agree on a common tech for wireless (like it is now) but go their own way to sell exclusive ones that can't be used with other brands then they would regulate that too.
