Quoting from the article; I think you're looking for the bit I italicised in the second paragraph

> The files confirm something that we’d previously only learned through a lawsuit: that Twitter and other tech executives were having regular monthly and even weekly meetings with not just the FBI and its Foreign Influence Task Force (FITF) — the eighty-person counterintelligence division made to combat foreign disinformation campaigns — but pretty much every security agency under the sun. Besides the bureau, those named include the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, state governments like that of California, the justice and state departments, even the National Security Agency (NSA), which requested to be included in a special Signal channel set up for the election period to let government agencies feed information to social media companies, or “the industry.”

[...]

> The significance of this should be obvious. Many shortsightedly dismissed the first Twitter Files release about Twitter’s outrageous censorship of the New York Post on the grounds that because the government wasn’t involved, such censorship shouldn’t concern us. That premise is wrong, but even if we were to accept it, the fact is that the FBI and a host of other shadowy security agencies are clearly knee-deep in the decisions over what Twitter and other companies decide to censor.
the cinematic trailer we got 3 years ago had me so excited. hopefully it will live up to most of what was shown. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_nj6wW6Gsc
Yes to both.

Funnily enough, lawyers can be cheaper in large cities where there's more of em.

If you run into bother in some one lawyer town, they sometimes might think of taking the proverbial piss.
I like this game, but I still can't even get shit into orbit. Pardon my language.

It makes me feel like I'm just an idiot. I don't think I am. But maybe I am. Who knows. All I know is that I feel bad for killing all of those little guys. They didn't even die in the pursuit of knowledge. They just died for my own hubris and naivety.

This was intended to be obvious sarcasm, but I somehow accidentally added “don’t” which… really just makes it confusing. Oops, haha.
Everything is an object in Ruby. Proc objects and Method objects _are_ functions. The same is true in Python -- functions are instances of the 'function' class. What's the difference between a proc and a function? Nothing.

"[P]eople like you insist on talking about things you don't actually know about" is insulting language. Consider discussing this with some people you know in real life to see what they think.
Circumventing corrupt and anti-competitive regulations is not in any way morally equivalent to sexual harassment.
This concept is interesting to me, but I don't think I'm the target market because I'm already a fast walker and walk more than 5 miles on a daily basis. Most of the time, I am making effort to slow my walking speed so others can keep up when in a group, rather than speeding myself up. I like the idea though, and if this takes off I could see it being helpful for a lot of people.
I walked the campus at cal tech a few days ago. It feels like a real college. Other colleges could be mistaken for luxury resorts or spas. They feel like a gimmick. But at cal everything looks normal. It looks like a place where people actually come to work and learn. It has a monastic quality in comparison. A place where people are truly preoccupied with the truth. It’s the first university I’ve been to that felt like that. Besides maybe Stanford.
It will be interesting to see how sports (NFL, especially) shakes out. Sports was always the biggest cost of a cable subscription.

Amazon bought Thursday night NFL rights for $1 billion a year, just to get credibility. That's $12.50 for every active Prime Video user.
You beat me to this comment. That's not even the most dubious thing on this page. No revenue cuts? Make money day one without viewers? I don't understand where the incentives are here.

I suspect there isn't any tech at all yet...just big ideas, and it's just a weather vane for if people are interested in streaming somewhere that isn't Twitch. If they get some emails lined up they can go to VCs to ask for money.
I want to believe… I’d buy such a laptop. But I’ll wait to see real reviews from real use cases.
Do you expect it to scale that well? If it were linear it would reach something like a RX 570, but isn't it more likely it will just be a bit better than the graphics of the 5700G? So probably not even beating a GTX 1050?
I read the whole thing but I disagree with their conclusions re: processed foods. I'm more inclined to believe that processed foods promote overeating and override satiety cues in a way that adds up over time, as found in this very interesting study (check out the appendix with photos of all the meals, it's fun). https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31105044/
It would be great on Mars. Mars has planet-wide dust storms.

But for Earth, even if it was free to put the PV in Earth orbit, the ground stations need to have an incredibly low total cost to make sense.

I can't remember how low exactly.

I think you confused C with C++ for Newsboat.
>Why is it scary? There is an option to opt out, but marketing and networking are two of the main reasons people join YC in the first place. No founder is saying no to this.

Probably because in an age of targeting phish paired with browsers that strain to run whatever JavaScript or whatever you hurl at them, the founders are rightfully concerned someone who’d be stopped by the secretary can slam their inbox because they misticked some box.

This looks well polished in contrast to most other non-official Tailwind CSS component libraries. I will definitely consider using this for my next project.
It’s a pity that out-of the box component libraries (React, Vue, Angular) are mostly so hard so customize, I have kind of given up on them, and use these html / Tailwind component collections instead.

I encourage you to watch The Future of Solar Power [1].

I am firmly of the belief that solar power is humanity's future of energy production.

Yes, beaming power to Earth is viable and could be economical. This pretty much solves the problem in variable power generation. I've seen estimates that a space-based power collector could generate about 6-8x what that same collector could on Earth (due to atmosphere, weather and day/night) so even with some power loss from beaming power to Earth, it's viable.

But there's an even better fguture for this.

The first is as the power source for space habitats. You literally just put them on the outside hull. These are incredibly efficient in creating living area per unit mass and ultimately would become a Dyson Swarm. I consider this inevitable.

The second is you can do better than beaming power with orbital rings [2]. In short, you put a loop of conducting cables in orbit, run a current through them and float things on top with the magnetic field. The beauty of this is those things elevated on the ring are fixed to points on Earth. This means you don't need to speed up to Mach 30 to reach orbital speeds.

If you have an orbital ring, you can run cables down from space directly to the ground.

> You don't need a one-off application for every streaming service, those are there in case you want to use them without phone at all

I agree. That's why it doesn't make sense that Tesla is approaching it as "bespoke or bust".

> Bluetooth audio is a thing, and you can stream whatever audio you want from your phone to your car audio using that.

Yes, but "streaming a single audio track (with low audio quality)" is pretty much all BlueTooth is fit for, and the problem is much larger than that--a luxury car should be able to stream higher quality audio and it should also be able to stream video (e.g., HBO, Paramount Plus, etc). Moreover, it should facilitate a media browsing experience through the touch screen. First of all, it's limited to audio--it doesn't help me stream HBO or Paramount or any other video service.
The challenge of course, is that each person defines it based on what they see and hear, often by accepting or rejecting it, not by making their own nuanced opinion.

For most people, they don’t/won’t have any sort of formal education on the topic, or if so, it will be very cursory.

Fundamentally, any given person only has so much attention and memory.

This means it’s a zero-sum game in many ways.

X thing gets more attention, means Y thing gets less.

When folks start reacting to things (like feminism or not), they’ll also use unfavorable language to do so, and smear terms to convey often backhanded definitions of things.

So at some point, the definition shifts based on how people talk about it/how the media that permeates everyone’s life talks about it, not how it actually is, or even what their personal experience has been like.

And there has been a lot of attention/pumping up/putting in folks feeds things that portray total fantasy. Both pro/con feminism, pro/con a lot of things.

So it’s not surprising that hardline, not actually helpful ideas get propagated, then reacted to, and lines get formed the way they do, with often little nuance or connection to reality.

> I wouldn't want an inextinguishable box of lithium near something hot like a fire. Would you?

This.

My brother is a captain for a fire department. I visited the hall many times with him and found the station design odd. He told me it is built that way because there have been cases of fire trucks being too close to major fires, and the truck catching fire back at the station.

The station has "blast doors" that automatically close if the bay is on fire to protect the rest of the station. (sounds funny right.. fire halls catching fire??)

Not sure they would want a "flammable metals" fire in their bay.
Just to add on here, the link just takes me to the main Epic Games page and I can't see anything about KSP.

The current link.
> The original premise was that trades are where all the money is

Nobody has ever said the "trades are where all the money is". This premise is flawed already.

> My point is that we were previously told: the money is in college degrees, the money is in STEM, the money is in nursing. And people invested a lot of time and money in taking that advice and it went nowhere.

It still is. It sounds like too many people have deluded themselves into thinking college is a public jobs program and if they show up and get a piece of paper they will be the most in demand in those fields. However, that requires an illogical leap on their part to believe that any and every person in a field will be at the top of their field and thus command exorbitant salaries. It defies logic. Plenty of people still make good money in those fields, and still will years from now. But not everyone is entitled to make a ton of money in any fields their heart desires.

Everyone learns the law of supply and demand before adulthood, or if they haven't then they shouldn't be going to college anyway. So if the supply of labor in a field increases beyond the demand, what would we expect to happen?

Also, if you're really good at something people will generally pay you more than they'll pay people who are mediocre. Maybe the problem is younger generations can't wrap their heads around the fact that a lot of people are mediocre. Not everyone is special or a superstar or whatever, so maybe this egalitarian mindset is the issue.

This isn't boomer shit, I'm far too young to be a boomer. It seems like common sense. Is this not common sense?
Mice also went from COM to PS/2 to USB, though ball mouse tended to break down earlier than it became obsolete.

DIN keyboards probably still work, though. No Win key.
Personally, for me it's archiving. In case I want to go back to it. Videos just keep disappearing from YouTube because channels get deleted by YouTube, by their owners, videos get copystriked, geoblocked, privated, and so on. As I'm lazy as f### I didn't create anything as sophisticated as OP, but a simple 10 line PHP Script on my home server that just pretends being Kodi enough to fool yatse (android remote for Kodi). So every time I watch a video on YouTube (on my phone) that I want to keep I tap "share" and then "play on Kodi", my php script gets the video url from the post data and launches youtube-dl. It sucks because I never get feedback if it worked and when it's finished, but I log all the URLs and at some point in the future I'll eventually add a cronjob that checks the list and sends reports and whatnot. Some day.
Doesn't really matter. If HR are the employee facing 'front' of the company and do all the work of booking flight, hotels, transport etc then the buck stops with them.

i.e. If one is a tech/product team lead with an external client, you can't blame a developer (below you in the food chain) for screwing up. All screens/functionality has to be verified before the client sees it. If not, you'll more than likely look like an idiot.
Why on earth should Twilio have KYC controls during account opening?
So... I'm curious, how do these fail? Let's say an axle or motor fails, does the wheel spin or lock up? Which would be better for making sure I don't break my nose on the pavement?
One thing I recall from that time, which seems absurd nowadays, is how I was able to actually run photoshop 2.0 in a 486 after upgrading it from 4 to 8 MB. Jesus, 8MB nowadays probably is not even enough to start booting.
You're welcome, he's here on HN as well ('jecel').
The max speed for one of these is 7 mph, which is likely slower than you on a bicycle.
> Failure to consider the second-order effects of regulation causes the greatest harm to society.

Ah yes. "Companies are willingly flaunting the law, so the law is bad"

> Because of GDPR, consent to cookies must be freely given, specific, informed, and based on an explicit affirmative action.

Indeed. So if you do ask for consent, there have to be two explicitly labeled buttons: "Agree", and "Disagree". How many of the greedy leeches siphoning user data are providing that? And how many are instead waiting how long they can get away with it before the regulators get to them?

> The regulation does require it if you want to use cookies, and it's near impossible to code any useful page without storing state (cookies).

Nope. This is a lie that has been sold to you buy the same greedy leeches that have sold you the lie that it is the GDPR that is bad, the GDPR that is requiring these bad cookie popups etc.

First thing you could do is open the law (it's not that long and is not that complex) and try to find where cookies are mentioned. Hint: they are mentioned nowhere in the main body of text, and are only mentioned in one of the Recitals.

However, you rely on the industry to tell you that the law is bad even if the industry is extremely interested in painting the law in a bad light.

So.

If the data you get/process/store is strictly required for the functioning of your business (whether it's for storing login info or a shopping cart, or because other laws say so as they do in the case of banks), consent is not required.

If you get/process/store that data for any other reason, you must get a specific informed consent from the users. And no, pre-selected checkboxes, hiding "disagree/reject" behind fifteen clicks etc. is not it.
I remember seeing one of the first Pentium's, it was either a 60 or 66mhz, but it was STUPIDLY fast. Way faster than any 486 we had at the time. We were just watching someone play Windows 3.11 solitaire on it and laughing when they won because the card "waterfall" animation took what felt like 1 second to complete. It was probably longer, maybe 3-4 seconds, but on our 486's it was probably 10-15 seconds.

I was a manager at a well known .com for several years. HR exists to protect the company from its own employees. That's why you have to sit through mandatory DEI training, sexual harassment training and other indignities. Studies have shown that mandatory training does very, very little to change anyone's mind. It is simply to protect the company in case there is an incident.

As for layoffs, it is always Finance and HR that know about all of the plans before anyone else. HR will try its best to perform layoffs under the guise of "reorganization" of departments or the whole company. This gives them cover to get rid of undesirables, older (read "expensive") employees and other people problems.

Firing people is the hardest thing. It is simplicity itself if you are an executive VP or higher, but below that it takes a ream of paperwork, a performance plan and months-long periods where the employee sabotages work, "quiet quits" and makes things miserable for everyone around them. HR doesn't want to create a scene that might reflect poorly on the company.

I'm super jaded after 30 years in IT so I apologize if this is too negative a response.
> you're saying the same thing, you're just conflating the premise

I understand the effect of passion on supply. You might think I'm making a distinction without a difference but I disagree. We shouldn't normalize the idea that well-paying work has to be unpleasant. "It's called 'work' because it's not fun" is a harmful idea.

> No one is saying this.

Read the comment I originally responded to: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34245152
There are 200+ jurisdictions in the phone network and everybody has their own conventions on what a "premium" number is.

For comparison, imagine if each domain in the world could set its own rates for much doing a DNS query would cost you, and governments regulated this only by designating a few second level domains as "premium". That's pretty much the scale of the problem.

Edit: To be clear, this is a very well known problem and Twilio should be doing much better at it. But it's by no means an easy problem, and all the other side needs is one (1) number to exploit.
Short-sighted decision? Revue was basically DOA and Twitter did zero customer development since its acquisition. Shutting down Revue is probably the best decision he's made so far.
I'm surprised it's not possible for Twilio to detect premium rate numbers. How does Twilio negotiate the payment with the number holder?
That looks like a very shady site generated automatically, unlike a well known 10 year old game with millions of users
I'm in this boat. I've been happy overall with my Model S purchase but compared to luxury car makers it is overpriced and nowhere near as good. The best thing about owning a Tesla in the US is the Supercharger network.

Things that turned me off:

- Many times under warranty getting stupid things repaired that were clearly manufacturing problems or just boneheaded mistakes when putting the car together. Crazy for a $102k automobile.
- Once warranty wore off ran into an issue where the car warned me it might not start again and it needed service immediately. Tesla scheduled my service 2 weeks out and charged me $1000, for something that when I googled it was a common problem and that the service center told me wasn't something I had done. At this point I was pretty frustrated.
- Elon's antics: when he called one of the heroes who rescued those kids from the cave a pedo to sate his own ego I was flabbergasted. I've paid more attention to his actions since then and they've only made me think less of the man. I truly think he has done too many recreational drugs and has destroyed his mind.
Drones. Electric aircraft in general, recharging continuously in-flight.

Might be ill-advised for a whole mass of reasons that I, as a software engineer, know naught of; but it would be a use case.
Isn't this something Elon Musk brought up a few weeks ago when Twitter SMS 2FA stopped working in some countries? (India? I think?). On a Twitter spaces he said they were losing millions to SMS fraud for years and found out that some Telecom companies were complicit so they just cut off all SMS traffic to those companies until they re-negotiated terms.
If you don't need long options and don't want to use getopt (for whatever misguided reason) then I wrote a (rare) blog post about doing this without any macro abuse: https://the-tk.com/post/2021/07/29/option-parsing-on-a-budge... .
Cynicism tends to go hand in hand with defeatism. I have no problem with cynicism, if you're the rare person willing to take steps to fix or mitigate the problems you are cynical about.

In the more common case, it just leads to giving up. Cynicism is a mistake when it leads to inaction, and inaction is responsible for a lot (arguably most) of the world's problems. I've known people who didn't recycle because they were (maybe still are, we've lost touch) cynical about whether enough other people would do it to matter. The cynicism is getting in the way of action.

No, I don't have a suggestion for what to do about abuse of employees! I know this is not the most helpful, but I'm not the cynic about this. I'm a cynic about other things, but only when I do have a course of action.
Yeah I have a couple hundred and have bought... like... two.

That's just something you can do when you have a money-printer (Fortnight) and want to buy market share, I guess. Worked in my case—sorta—since I'd only ever have bought a couple exclusives and wouldn't have it set to start-on-boot if not for the frequent free games.

But, if I'm looking to buy a game, I still check GoG and Steam first, and if it's not there give a hard think to whether I really want the game, though. Which is why I've only bought two games. I'll even pay more, or defer until a sale, if Epic has it for cheap and it's more expensive on the other two services. The only price they're winning my "business" with is free (except a couple exclusives).
They announced pricing changes over the last few years which I'm apparently not the only person confused about. That combined with practically all meetups being reset due to covid, I'm not surprised it's having a slow time getting back on it's feet.

For me, I found a lot of satisfaction building space planes. Much different takeoff/landing procedure and completely different craft design, but a lot easier to maneuver.

As for killing all those little guys, consider adding a final-stage parachute that decouples the crew cabin from the rest of the craft. It might take them a few hours to hit the ground, but you'll despotically murder less space goblins that way.
It's not the typical HR pattern, but there are some genuine oblivious people that amuse me greatly.
