> Deluded billionaire Elon Musk continues to spew stupid ideas that exhausted engineers are forced to rush through half baked, the company moves inexorably closer to bankruptcy...

He has thrown a lot of ideas at the wall, and some that were not well thought out, but it looks like some of them are actually smart like affiliations and allowing media to charge a small fee per article and for allowing content creators to sell subscriptions. Twitter isn't that serious of a thing - it's OK to try things and see what happens. At least they are shipping product now.

> white supremacists increasingly dominate everyone's feeds

I don't really see white supremacists in my feed which may say more about this person than they like. Maybe there's a redefinition of that too? I think there's certainly a better diversity of opinions on Twitter now.

> the platform’s reliability plummets ever downwards

I haven't noticed any issues. Has anyone else?

> and we need a break.

That's good - find something productive and positive to do with your time. Hoping to bask in others failures is a very negative way to live your life and can't possibly be good for your mental health. Go outside and help a person. Be a positive force in the society you wish to see instead of trying to tear down things.

If Elon and Twitter and the white supremacists you see everywhere are bothering you then it's probably best to stay away and do something positive in your life.
Kilns work because they lose far slower than then generate it. You could conceivably reach very high temps due to the heat source being in direct contact whereas the pan must lose heat through convection. I doubt it would ever reach 2000° but 600-700° seems easy enough.

TikTok challenge...shave off some Teflon, burn it, and consume.
It's not about the character of Joseph Smith, anymore than Judaism is about the character of Moses or Catholicism is about the character of Peter.
I don't think anyone is linking to my blog. I didn't get any upvotes. Seems really unlikely.
> Not legally required, but in practice your decision to not tip is a decision that the staff should earn under minimum wage.

Not quite. The law is that for tipped workers the employer has to pay the "tipped minimum wage" ($2.13/hr) but if that plus tips is below the regular minimum wage ($7.25/hr) the employer has to pay the difference.

In effect it is equivalent to the minimum wage being $7.25 an hour for tipped works, same as for everyone else, but the employer gets the first $5.25 of your tips.

Not tipping is saying that you think the staff should earn exactly minimum wage.

I've heard though that in some states they are lax about enforcing this, so employers can get away with not making up the difference.
What, Slack just gets a pass?
Thank god, now the scam emails i've been getting about this exact scenario every day for months are finally true!
Users just want to reach out to and converse with a potentially large audience in a simple, easy, consistent manner.

Mastodon misses the mark by ignoring this in favor of ideology and implementation details. Like a lot of open source, it doesn't try to avoid technical details, it wants to wallow in them.

It is like the social media equivalent of Linux on the desktop. If noone really cares about attracting a wide user base and doesn't actively work toward that goal, then it probably won't ever have one.

Example: Twitter users never had care about finding a "server". Right out of the chute, Mastodon throws up a technical road block.
> it would ground the vehicle for a lot longer

This is what Elon is quoted to be saying. [1] "The longest item on that [requirements to next launch] is probably requalification of the flight termination system"

> the 1-2 months they're claiming for next test flight

Do you have a source for that claim?

> white supremacists increasingly dominate everyone's feeds

Either I'm the one person who isn't seeing this, or this person has a very deranged definition of "white supremacist." I get AI grifter guys in my feed but I can't recall seeing unironic white supremacists.

I'm not a fan of Elon but these people that made their entire personality trying to demonstrate how Twitter is dead are the same ones who were saying it would happen as soon as Musk was confirmed to take over, and if anything are disappointed it's not going as badly as they predicated so they need to make things seem worse than they are.

The biggest problems I've had with Twitter since Elon took over is having to see his unfunny jokes like tweets saying which planet they're sent from or making the logo a doge head for a few days.
It's funny to see how Elon went from a hero of the left (omg EVs! omg Mars!) to a hated villain just because he took away (he didn't really though) their favorite web chat application.
The Japanese artists I follow to see their art once in a while apparently have not gotten the "Twitter is dying" memo.
I compare with when I was young, and you had to find and meet a physical person.
For me, the part that's most exhausting is the constant struggle to remain competent with the ever-changing landscape of frameworks, libraries, and services that are used in modern software development.

This is made worse by their size and scope. Spring Boot is a giant ecosystem, as is .NET, as is Azure, etc.

Also, search results tend to be a sea of data which might, or might not, contain some crucial bit of information that will help.

So, all too often, "using Google to answer a question" becomes a 2-hour or day-long research project to figure out how to solve some small, arcane problem like why the POST to some service doesn't have the Authorization header.

And when there's internal and external pressure to be productive, meet deadlines, and not feel incompetent, sometimes it gets frustrating and stressful and tiring.
Even 150 years ago, Mormons had quite the reputation for both fighting for ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mormon_Battalion ) and fighting against ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utah_War ) the U.S. Army.
Only a tiny amount of gold is used in electronics. Also, this doesn't explain why people were greedy for gold thousands years before.
> At some point there won't be any more suckers left

As long as there is survivorship bias I think it will survive. Can think of it more as a poverty tax, like the lottery.

When there is a possibility of easy money, people will overlook every kind of red flag and inconvenience.
I don't think there is an "intrinsic risk" in anything. I personally trust F-Droid more than Obtainium and even more than most original developers themselves, because

1) F-droid has been around for a long time and it's proven to be well governed.

2) F-droid tells me if the software is still maintained, if it's a fork of another project, if the opensource software is using non open service as a backend, etc..
I'm pretty sure it's illegal unless you're an intelligence operator trying to entrap people, in which case it's your job
We once had postal banking in America [1]. I could see a bridge to narrow banking working if it’s restricted to natural person depositors and prohibited from paying interest or something. (And by extension, their reserves wouldn’t earn as much as their risk-taking peers.)

> money storage with the respective sovereign (and daily liquidity)

You can buy overnight bills in most countries.

Seems like yet another example of a disaster that (might) have been avoided if congress, in 2018, hadn't rolled back pieces of Dodd-Frank. Before that, banks with > $50B had to take stronger precautions, but that limit was raised in 2018 to $250B. FRB had assets around $220B.
Fair, I guess, I have limited knowledge in this space, and it’s hard to imagine where and how these people would switch to.
> There is a real trade-off there when the government has direct access to and control of citizens' bank accounts.

Narrow banking and central bank accounts for individuals aren’t the same thing.

In fact, most CDBC projects see a role for commercial banks as KYC, fraud prevention, user interface etc. providers. – just not money creation.
> Free as in mattress, and free as in piano

I don't get it, could you explain?
> This ain't about investments for the long term, it's about having a transition fuel into fully renewable, and that is needed for any realistic approach to the problem.

Gas cannot be considered for a transition because of it's very high emissions, diplomatic issues and high infrastructure costs. It's a very polluting tech which should stay back in the 20th century along petrol. The stability problems of renewables must be solved first to be adopted, in a better way, burning fossil fuels when they do not work ain't one.

> Now you can point out how hydrogen has also expensive infrastructure and even worse storage problems, which is true. But as of right now, green hydrogen is the only plausible way to wean ourselves off our fossil fuel dependence as a manufacturing resource [1].

The whole cycle has disastrous efficiency with 70% loss, as it is now, hydrogen storage isn't that useful until we invent some better tech. There's some use for it of course but that's not a large scale solution by any means.

My reading is that Twitter became so irrelevant that they can't be bothered keeping track of its news.
Peak "lifelessness era" was arguably the early 2010s. At the time there were leaps in graphical fidelity every year, and celebrity mocap and voice acting was a thing. Mechanisms like regenerating health were very popular to create very breezy theme park rides in video game form, like Mass Effect 2/3. You basically spend half the game wandering space malls, and the other running cover to cover. Very fun at the time, but there is nothing to do in the game that wasn't an anticipated interaction or choreographed shooting gallery.

Since then Souls-likes brought back the idea of difficult challenge, roguelikes have brought back the idea of compounding game systems with a vengeance. Some of the most beloved titles in recent years were indie (e.g. Subnautica or Outer Wilds). It's not quite as bad as it used to be.

The critique about Unreal/Unity though is just that the basic tropes of the FPS/TPS open sandbox are now very stale. If developers use off-the-shelf game systems wholesale, they will end up with no-name brand gameplay. Largely games still move like Oblivion did, modulo some platforming / ledge grabbing.

Valheim is an interesting mention here, because I would basically describe that game as "Oblivion/Morrowind except the level designer is you". It's not that it's full of life, it just provides a good backdrop for your own imagination.
Agreed, I hate how people just throw this out like it's fact and everyone applauds. My twitter feed before was a ton of artists I follow, my twitter feed now? A bunch of artists I follow.
It's not really discrimination to say "you have a potential bias on this particular candidate, you shouldn't be involved in the decision".
Not my experience with doctors. Maybe look for a helpful qualified doctor and let go of the stereotypes and assumptions.
Good to know, thanks. And yet we are still celebrating human victory in chess. Tears again.

Would nicotine patches help?
Sometimes caring for people is ensuring they find better job opportunities elsewhere. Leave glowing reviews, give them warm leads at other companies, give good severance packages.

But you do not have to keep them hired. You are running a business, you hire based on your needs, not theirs.
Your suspicions are (almost entirely) unfounded, except for 10, which is XDE, as knucklehead says).

The software was real and worked, for some value of "worked." It was very slow, though. Dave Smith, who demo'ed it at NCC, said he had to be careful to only do things that worked.

As for 02 and 08: that is a real table, which I also used for Records Processing, and was extremely slow. I talk about that extensively in Inventing the Future.

There are many academic papers published about the software, including the graphics.
The problem is that subsistence and low-yield agriculture families weren't significant consumers in the first place. Taking them out of the economy and pushing their children into industry increased demand for goods and services as they became dependent upon buying food, rent and goods they previously weren't buying.

Gutting a ton of jobs across many sectors in the economy won't change demand for food or rent, but will likely hurt every service sector and slow the economy down overall as people without jobs push out purchases they would have made otherwise.

It really is.

I started using that when it was launched in 2004 and it's come a very long way. Began as a computer science senior design project.

Unfortunately as you mention it's not open source anymore ... too many people recompiling it and selling it as their own.

It's fast, easy, and has more features than I'll ever need. Plugins also for more advanced things like content-aware fills, etc.

It's not directly comparable to Krita but if you need a powerful, free image editor on Windows it's easily my recommendation.
Yes it does. Physical fitness is directly related to heart health and easier recover from illness etc.

Explain how one could achieve high endurance, muscle building without healthy organs? Minus some disease I can't think of a way to do this.
If you seriously take that attitude then it's hardly worth learning to do anything - there will always be someone or some computer who is better at it, so why even try?
I like the idea that the phone is what notifies a player if they have been hit. This means the game can be played anywhere and the game can be played at all times!

However actually having a gun shaped object as the main instrument to play the game might cause issue.
That's how it is implemented in Germany: If you sell batteries or battery-containing devices, you have to take batteries in for recycling. (Now I wouldn't necessarily expect every tiny corner store that sells single-use vapes to do a proper job of that, but normal store chains will do so)
Maybe. The correlation is weak. If you're looking for a stronger correlation, try obesity.

People who are very overweight or obese in middle age (35-55) are significantly more likely to develop Parkinson's after 60, even if they lose the weight prior to diagnosis. Now this could be a pure lifestyle-correlation, but my spidey sense suggests it's causative, knowing how causative obesity is for SO MANY other degenerative and chronic diseases.

The best advice you can give anyone, at any time, for the prevention of nearly every poor health outcome we have a name for is and always will be: don't get fat; if you're fat, stop being fat.
Yeah, kind of surprising. I guess it's a private company that manages your 2FA code backups, and they could theoretically lock you out.

I avoid Authy for a different reason: after upgrading phones, my backup password (which is 100% correct, trust me) is not unlocking my archive. I switched over to iCloud Keychain and will never look back.
