People seem to care way too much about twitter. I don’t use Twitter and am under the impression I am not missing anything. I get my internet comment reading through Youtube and reddit. Writing an article about what anonymous people think about a social media engine is quite cringe. What people post on twitter is not news and does not substantiate a news article
The only reason for her to get this job is to have her name known in public. No one knew who she was until now (not saying it as a bad thing). She is taking a sinking ship with lots of issues she won't be able to fix, like the thousands of lawsuits the company is facing. Now Elon will have someone to blame for the disaster he created. Google luck Linda, you'll need it.

> The Senate is working exactly as intended.

Not really. The Senate was meant to represent the interests of the state and state governments as an institution rather than the people of the state but the 17th amendment subverted that under the guise of poblic choice the people because state legislatures wanted to shirk that responsibility. The net result is that we've lost much of the Senate's value as being an elitist/anti-populist/institutional check on populism, and the vagaries of electoral politics in general, without anything to replace it.

Sure, Sturgeon's law and all that. The problem is you don't know how poor a realtor will perform at selling the property until you sign the agency agreement, and once you've signed that agreement your BATNA becomes taking the property off the market for six months or more.

And then the second time around, trying to negotiate those terms with several different realtors was like talking to a brick wall. None of them wanted to understand that as two parties sitting down to sign a legal document, you can agree to cross bits out. Full on steering wheel tossed out the window for the game of chicken.

I'm sure there are many realtors who do a decent job - the problem is the incentives are just set up all wrong. I wouldn't actually mind if they got a 20% or 25% commission on every dollar over the market appraisal of the property. It's just ridiculous that they're taking 6% from the first dollar when the property would sell itself for a low amount.

- Some time ago on HN I saw a free ad blocking DNS server (https://controld.com/free-dns)

- I had wondered what protocol the 'Private DNS' setting on my Pixel uses, but never got around to checking.

It turns out that it setting the 'Private DNS provider hostname' to x-oisd.freedns.controld.com just works: DNS-over-TLS and ad blocking.
The way folks handle this in production is with browserslist, which lets you query on different things you want to support: https://github.com/browserslist/browserslist. This in turn tells other parts of your tooling what language features to transpile for production.

> It doesn't even feel like a Zelda game.

The original Zelda was open-world.

I will agree that the game world felt sparse and underpopulated, but given the minimalist tone (as evidenced by so many other game elements, like the music or lack of hand-holding) it felt on-brand.

> Weapon durability is literal cancer.

They did this to discourage player min-maxing and to force some variety. I didn't like it either but appreciate the additional layer of dynamism it added to the game.

> Contrast that with Elden Ring

Hardly a good comparison, for one there are several years between the two releases and for two, you are comparing a soulslike with a more 'traditional' open-world game. I for one am sick of roguelike/soulslike mechanics infiltrating everything, this idea that you have to zerg everything over and over again to progress is cancer. And slow ass movement. And bosses that are massive difficulty ramps up from the rest of the level. Ninja Gaiden does 'hardcore' or whatever much better.

Any argument towards my conclusion on copyright would be entirely philosophical but I see your point about trolling is effect not intent but I disagree with it it only stifles discussion and promotes echochamberism (in my humble opinion).

Now trolling with intent by all means ban those.

You're correct that Musk isn't a "billionaire heir to an emerald mine" but his own father has said the emerald mine was real and that it helped pay Musk's living expenses at college:

> Errol went as far as to say that emerald money paid for his son's move to the US, where Elon would go on to attend the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton Business School on scholarship — with, apparently, emerald-generated cash in his pocket for living expenses.

> when he badly needed money at the beginning of Tesla and SpaceX there was certainly no secret backup of "Emerald Mine" money

That's not personal wealth, that's company investment. Just because you (or your family) doesn't have spare money kicking around to finance a space rocket company doesn't mean that you're not personally rich and able to pay for things "regular" folks cannot and have connections they don't.
Elon received a lot of money from his Father during his college years, and the very reason why he was in college in America is that he was bankrolled by a South African entrepreneur. Without this father he would be nowhere close to where he is.

“Supply shocks” make it sound like something that could not be anticipated, rather than something that was caused by active incompetence from auto manufacturers at the start of the pandemic.
Imagine this same comment but with your car. People can’t just walk up to your car and drive it away specifically because there is a key that allows the key holder to verify they are authorized to drive (yes obviously someone can steal your keys but that’s the idea anyway)

No one accuses car manufacturers of monetizing human clumsiness and generally speaking the system works pretty well.
Interesting observation, @gibsonf1. What kind of hierarchical queries do you have in mind that would be challenging to write in SQL? Would you mind sharing them in natural language?
Yes. But imagine all the "economic growth" it stimulates from health issues to research to "cure" those issues. This is capitalism at its finest.

Meanwhile, the proles are sold the idea that it's the healthcare syatem that's the source of their suffering. Mind you, the healthcare system needs reform (?). But with so much un-health any system can only do so much.

I think it's also important to point out that Zelda games since the 80s have been one of the best pieces of software humans have ever invented.

A tool doesn't have to obviate a worker's contributions 1:1 to replace them.

If productivity doubles, then only half the people are required to meet current needs.

They’re allegedly approaching cash-flow breakeven [1]. Musk is notoriously unreliable with timelines, but he tends to be conservative with purely financial ones. That, assuming this is actual cash flow and not an unlevered metric like Ebitda, signals stability.

I’m not calling it a success. But Twitter is operational. People complained but, largely, haven’t left. The new product initiatives were busts, but quickly withdrawn when the data showed they didn’t work. Stability is on the horizon; it’s not Armageddon.

> Elon would have cut the actual fat. Instead he (directly and indirectly) destroyed Twitter's relationship with advertisers

He did both. He’s now trying to reverse on the latter. Given the financial stability, Yaccarino has a solid foundation from which to do so.

The article suggests that "Some suggest that these flashes could be messages from alien civilizations possessing technology far more advanced than ours." but that is a pretty fringe view among astronomers. FRBs are broadband signals with an incredible amount of energy. For intentionally sending a signal, narrowband signals are far more efficient. It's hard to imagine why an alien civilization would send a signal this way.

It's like the difference between a forest fire and a laser. When you see a huge blobby irregular burst of energy from far away, it's a "forest fire", it's something natural, not an intentional signal.

In the cases we understand well, these huge bursts of unfocused energy are generally caused by large-scale astronomical events, like black holes smashing into each other or a neutron star spinning around. So even though we don't understand the specific mechanism behind these FRBs, it's much more likely to be something like that than an alien signal.
