Strange take to be focusing on the business side - the job of the business side is to make sure the organization makes money, according to Musk it's currently losing millions of $ per day, far more than before, and has lost large parts of its revenue. So by that measure we'd have to conclude the business people were in fact necessary. Although it's hard to say, since the financials aren't published, and a non-negligible portion of the losses will be due to the financial debt that is only a result of the takeover. And the loss in revenue is at least partially attributable to Musk's persona - some of the first companies to pull their ads were car companies that compete with Tesla, eg. But still, the reduced emphasis on moderation, PR, legal..., is arguably a genuine concern for many ad clients.

The more pressing question is arguably how necessary some of the engineers were (since quite a few were fired too). So many people have been predicting that the breakdown of the site is imminent, or just a few weeks away, or at least that it will slowly start degrading (with some shifting goalposts, maybe). The question is whether we are really seeing any of that. The site still seems to be functional as far as I can tell - I rarely log in, and I noticed that the "Please login" modal seemed to have some difficulties loading some elements lately - but I couldn't even reproduce the modal now, so maybe they decided to remove it (which would show that they still have the ability to make UI changes). I recently read that third-party APIs were down, but that might also have been a deliberate decision. Sure, they are probably accumulating some technical debt right now, but arguably it's the business side that would currently be the much bigger concern for the survival of the company (if it had to operate under market conditions, rather than being a pet project of one of the richest people on the planet).
Many people go the extra mile and delete data because they would rather not have a social networking company use it in their absence.

Anyone can post on HN - it doesn't mean anything.

Someone who can't succinctly state their thoughts is probably not ready to run a complex business. The author says that they had an 8-hour conversation - this is a big red sign, and nothing can explain this.

The 8 hour meeting is:

1. This person lacks clarity of thought and clarity of expression.

2. They don't value their own time.

3. They don't value other people's time.

I won't deny that there's a lot of drug users who believe in new age spirituality, but there's another angle to consider too.

Some people have a genuine academic curiosity about human belief systems and the nature of experience. It is similar to how a Anthropologist might have many artifacts in their home or a religious scholar would have different religious text.

It doesn't mean that do you believe in everything, as much as that means that you enjoy being curious and engaging with different ideas.

I mean I very much understand the other commenter line of questioning but any questions related to mask wearing will be highly dependent of where you are from.

I’m from Western Europe and mask wearing both never was political, was well followed during the much more stringent restrictions we had at the peak of the epidemic and has virtually disappeared from the past two years.

It’s a very different attitude that what it seems to be in the state but our relationship with diseases is already culturally extremely different than what it is in the USA.
Every audio CD has a list of tracks with their respective start times, so you can jump to specific songs. The first song also specifies a start time, which does not have to be zero. If it isn’t, the player will skip some of the audio, but you can still reverse back into it.

It’s funny how a CD is more like a tape with contiguous content and an index, rather than a file system.

Not sure I follow. I've been running public "forwarding" email servers for 20 years, and ... this is exactly what they do. This is exactly what Cloudflare's "forwarding" email solution does (except it has ARC and everyone who wants to support forwarding includes Cloudflare's MTAs in their ARC configuration).

Little guys like me (of course) don't get included in anyone's ARC configuration, to patch over SPF's profound design failure.

If you're describing a "forwarding" solution that doesn't simply do SMTP "RCPT TO" forwarding, then I don't understand what you're describing...
I don’t really understand this. How is this different from just writing the code and just assuming that you got it correct, and then locking in a potentially wrong implementation?

> What does fibonacci(15) equal? If you already know, terrific—but what are you meant to do if you don’t?

> I think you’re supposed to write some nonsense, like assert fibonacci(15) == 8, then when the test says “WRONG! Expected 8, got 610”, you’re supposed to copy and paste the 610 from your terminal buffer into your editor.

Who does that? How do you know 610 is correct? That’s just assuming your implementation is right from the get go. For such a function, I’d independently calculate it, using some method I trust (maybe Wolfram Alpha). I’d do this for a handful of examples, trying to cover base and extreme cases. And then I’d do property testing if I really wanted good coverage. Further, this expect test library seems to just smoothen the experience of copying what the function returns into a test.

This whole “expect test” business seems to rely on the developer looking at what the function returns for a given input, evaluating if it’s correct or not and then locking that in as “this is what this function is supposed to do”. That seems backwards and no different from how one implements functions in the first place, so I don’t know what is actually being tested.

The entire point of testing is saying “this is what this function should do” and not “this is what the function did and thus that’s what it should always do”.
That has nothing to do with the fact that $100 is affordable to the average college student working at a fast food company.

But even if I buy your argument, are you saying that selling software also has no value since once you write it, the marginal cost of delivering software is basically $0

A Westclox Baby Ben alarm clock [1] with luminous dial, which I probably got in 1980. I haven't had any need for it in the last 15 years but before that it was my reliable backup alarm for whenever I needed to be sure my alarm would go off. Normally I just used a plug-in electric digital alarm clock, but for those occasions when alarm failure would be so annoying that I wanted to be covered even in the unlikely event of a power failure while I slept the Baby Ben made sure I'd still get an alarm.

Nowadays that function is handled by my smart phone. The one potential problem with a smart phone as an alarm is that the alarm time might be in the middle of an update but I would disable automatic updates if I were relying on the alarm.

The Baby Ben may be my oldest possession except for books.

Another "for life" purchase, and another candidate for my oldest non-book possession, is my classical guitar. It's a Hohner HG-13 purchased around 1980. I think it was $68 for the guitar and case. It was a great beginner's classical guitar.

I played pretty seriously for a couple years, then sporadically for another 20, then pretty much not at all for until maybe a year ago when I got back into it. I've improved quite a bit since then and am ready to get something better but I'm in no hurry. I've played better sounding classical guitars in music stores and while they sound better, they don't play better so the HG-13 is in no way holding me back so I'm taking my time.

I never had the HG-13 set up. It is just as it came from the store. The store wasn't even really a musical instrument store. It was a record shop that happened to have a few guitars on the wall for sale. I doubt they did any kind of set up before putting it out for sale so it is likely as it came from the factory. And that is perfect. Neck relief, nut height, saddle height, action, fret heights are all perfect.

Finally, my Swiss army knife which I've had maybe 30 years sure looks like it going to be a "for life" item. The Phillips screwdriver it has is the best screwdriver I own. Screws that other screwdrivers can't get a grip on it handles with ease. And it does this for large and small screws. Somehow they have made a "one size fits all" screwdriver that works well.

The scissors are also great. I use them all the time for maintaining my nails (which as a classical guitar player is something I do a lot). I've bought scissors that are sold specifically for nails, and they have all sucked compared to the little scissors in the knife.

Whooping cough is a funny example, since most adults are in fact not vaccinated for it -- in the US anyway, the vaccination rate for pertussis is under 30%. The reason newborns aren't dying from whooping cough is not that we vaccinate everyone. Instead, we make the vaccine widely available for people who want it (I got my booster at one of my wife's ultrasounds), and we tell parents not to expose their newborns to anyone who isn't vaccinated, until the baby can get their own. So for whooping cough specifically, it really is up to the parents, and I would say more of an individual responsibility thing.

But isn't buying these kits online essentially just a way to add yourself to a list of people who do illegal drugs? Maybe I am just overly paranoid, but I'd hate to see some college kid have their future ruined over something that shouldn't be, but is a crime.
Good license with a bad product is still bad, so there must be more the "just" the license. For example netflix, they could use linux without any problems (since they don't redistribute the code nor the appliances).
If you do this, don't sell your stuff. Whenever I read this or "I'm now minimalistic" articles, they usually include donating or selling things, only to then have the fad (or the article they wanted to write for publicity) go away and re-buy everything.

The "why" is pretty much the only reason to write comments!

Overviews of the problem are more in the realm of spec rather than implementation planning and is another issue altogether. Of course you need to know what you're solving, but it is my point that I don't need to write a detailed document on how I'm going to solve most everyday problems when I can jump into the code and progressively work from there using the tools provided by the language.
This is very comprehensive and highlights the major challenges with something so novel. I hope more doctors read up on these challenges. I’ve been lucky to have doctors advocate for me recently now that more research is coming out.

Especially around diagnosis, markers, and treatments. Many are just self diagnosing given many cannot find any underlying cause.

Hmm. I really don't think you have interacted with many "average" users. Once I get out of my engineering circle, the number of people who would be comfortable interacting with the command line is extremely small. To the majority of modern computer users, even the concept of a terminal and typing commands is completely foreign, let alone navigating the file structure via the command line. And oh by the way, on the Mac at least, you also many have to teach them how to give the Terminal app Full Disk Access privileges.

You don't "rewrite" the destination (the "To: <address>" header); you just forward the email along using another "RCPT TO: <address>".

How do you propose that you "rewrite" headers without breaking DKIM? Any header included in the message's DKIM "h=to:from:... " stanza cannot be changed; they're included in the DKIM signature.

You can simply textually include the entire original email in a completely NEW email message, that is DKIM-signed by your intermediate (forwarding) MTA -- but that's not "forwarding", at all -- that's just "sending an email".

Is this what you're describing?

I partly agree and partly disagree.

If you think MDMA is giving you a feeling of deep friendship with a perfect stranger, then you might be hallucinating the feeling of a long and strong relationship.

However, that's not really the feeling you're getting on molly. It's more recognizing the preciousness of our shared humanity. If done with a friend or a lover, this in itself is a genuine bonding experience. If done with a stranger, you're not expecting anything more after the experience, but it still feels valuable.
It continually boggles my mind that more people aren't interested in hybrids here. There's a company called Hyliion that's been working on this for a while (I have no involvement or investment with them, just interested), and there are likely others as well, but there still doesn't seem to be a lot of uptake or discussion about it.

Hybrids seem to me like a net win all around for at least some use cases. I'm not sure where the value proposition is breaking down (or if anyone's even put in the effort to figure out whether it actually is breaking down).
No I’m not. You are.
I have noticed a lot of super low-effort comments like this recently. They typically don't even write as well as current-gen chatbots.
While it's true the war on drugs has gone too far, saying illegal drugs are "not so bad for your health" is a bit much.

The most disturbing is reading people who says psilo is better than antidepressants to treat depression, because it's FDA approved in some situation under supervision.

It's funny how many experts you can find about this subject online.
> Then all this becomes expense for the business that can be written off

There’s much more literature and comment on the negative aspects of drug use IMO.

I’d agree that discussing only the upsides in a general debate would be stupid, even unethical. But on a personal account? Probably not.

Believe it or not, some people can have very positive interactions from regular drug use.

I’ve used E and mushrooms maybe a few dozen times each and I don’t have anything bad to say except the brutal comedowns with E the next day, and an upset tummy with shrooms. Can’t say the same with weed or alcohol - plenty of bad interactions with those.

Some people are high-functioning drug users. Look at Joe Rogan, whatever you think of the guy, it’s difficult to object that he’s productive, fit and family-orientated while consuming copious amounts of weed.

I would become lazy, unmotivated and depressed if I smoked 1% of what Rogan or other high-functioning stoners smoke, but I think it’s as interesting to know about their stories as it is to hear about people whose lives have been sadly ravaged by drugs.
I have detailed that and linked an even more comprehensive explanation in this sibling (cousin?) comment:

It's people like you that are destroying this country. You need to take a long look at yourself and your beliefs. I don't know where you're getting this figure of 'several million people in last 5 years', since UN estimate is 2 million increase since 2015 (total population, not just migrants) https://worldpopulationreview.com/countries/united-kingdom-p....

Our country is incredibly corrupt, the problems are nothing to do with migration.

We actually desperately need migration given our population demographics shifting to aging citizens, there simply is not enough young people to work & look after all the retirees. Native Brits aren't having large enough families. We have a massive gap in the workforce, even with record low unemployment.

Your analogy is total rubbish & makes no sense. The housing shortage is absolutely due to pure corruption & a failure to build sufficient homes. The government target is to build 300,000 new homes each year - they have failed to hit their targets year after year (by at least 30%). Not only do we need more homes, but more social and affordable housing. See: https://i.imgur.com/ePK5QqQ.png

I think that you dislike foreigners and use shitty analogies to try and justify your distain for people that aren't 'natives'. Your entire argument is a simple, dumbed down perspective on what is really a multifaceted & complex issue. You want an easy answer, so you point your finger at the first thing your simple mind can grasp. Well guess what? You stop all migration tomorrow & see how this country death spirals.

Perhaps you should start to look at the real culprits, greedy people that are screwing the average citizen with a rigged system that favours wealthy individuals at the expense of everyone else. I mean ffs, you're commenting on an article that highlights how the wealthy traded human lives to save some money on cladding. We just went through a pandemic where they scammed the public out of billions for PPE contracts. We have 'Lords' that literally rinse the public, cash for honours?

>Take the revelations about the Aliyevs, the ruling family of oil-rich Azerbaijan which is led by a friend of Prince Andrew and has been home to huge British investment. When I visited Baku in 2012, I met an astonishingly brave woman called Khadija Ismayilova, who has endured blackmail, been filmed on hidden cameras having sex in her home and been imprisoned on trumped-up charges to stop her exposing corruption.

>Now we learn that a network of offshore companies tied to this gruesome family and its close associates has traded almost £400m of UK property over the past 15 years — including flogging a £67m property to the Queen’s crown estate.

>Again, these sleazy disclosures cut deep into the heart of the UK establishment. They include one Russian businessman whose companies have backed 34 Tory MPs and made millions from an allegedly corrupt Russian pipeline deal, while another prominent Tory donor who backed Johnson’s leadership campaign was reportedly involved in one of Europe’s biggest corruption scandals.
