The very small piece of Twitter owned by a Fidelity fund which reports publically has been written down a number of times since the acquisition.

In December it went down to $8.5m, valued at around $20m at the time of the acquisition:

And more recently it's dropped to about $6.6m:

Implying a valuation of $15b (6.6/20 * 44).
Don't try to externalize blame when it falls squarely on University Executives and Administrators.

Their primary focus seems to be empire building: Create as many admin positions under me in the Org Chart as I can get away with and extract as much money from students as possible to fund the growth of my empire.

This has been allowed to happen because they have essentially unlimited access to funding, no accountability and can make hand wave arguments about needing more staff (DEI, etc.)

Mastodon does no such thing. In fact, Mastodon has been used to host communities of all political persuasions. Where are you getting this from?
If money is the only factor, then it certainly makes sense to prefer 10x to 1X. However, there are other factors. I know many people who would refuse a very high salary if they had ethical concerns about the work they were doing. Elon appears to have ethical concerns about supporting the war. It doesn't seem far-fetched to me to think that he might care more about not supporting war than about some money.

But no I wasn't trying to make a point with the question, I was legitimately wondering if you had a source. I'd like to read more

This has really no parallels to anything with .io. The Gabonese government has always controlled .ga. Since 2013, they had offered registrations for free through Freenom, but they got tired of rampant spam registrations.

And I'm sure there's zero chance that IBM will be releasing their own Linux office product- probably derived from LibreOffice, but with an additional support line item attached- in the very near future. Nope, no chance.

Creative Breakthroughs and Insights – Busting Myths and How to Get Better at It
You're making an unfalsifiable argument by dumping the reasonable assumption that when SpaceX talks about things like terminal and service costs it's using the same price baselines.

Especially since if they're reporting to the Pentagon and intend to get them to pay by reason of unreasonable financial burden for SpaceX, they would want to make it look like it's costing them more, which would not be the case if we go with your unsupported suggestion that they're charging extremely high rates to government compared to how they're pricing their donations.
No faction opposing the goal, but certainly factions who disagree on whether any particular proposed change is actually an improvement
Until there was a chip shortage, they really did meet that obligation.

The decision that nobody likes that they had to take, surely, was to try to preserve the commercial ecosystem that exists around their products, not least because a) it helps them achieve the economies of scale that make the devices cheap, and b) so many of those commercial products have educational implications.

The Foundation is quite literally not responsible for the devices being prohibitively expensive, and indeed as far as I can see, when official resellers regain stock, they do so at prices very close to the pre-crisis prices, when you take into account rampant general inflation. The Zero 2W is going to be slightly more expensive. The Pi 4B seems to be at the same price.

And the Foundation's goal is more about access to computing _education_; I would argue they are still achieving things on that level, because many of their activities are more general than the Pi.
This is great. Usually with the joke programming languages, you can get at least one person arguing that "x feature" really isn't all that bad, or could maybe be useful. DreamBerd beats them all in that regard. It is 100% terrible! I lost it at the lifetimes implementation.
You would probably hit other problems with eating that many bananas before you got close to problematic levels.

It's more useful for things like "living within 50 miles of a nuclear power plant for a year (0.3 µSv) is the equivalent of eating 3 bananas (0.1 µSv each)."

Note also the "Yearly dose from natural potassium in the body 390 µSv"
I think your post needs to clarify this is true only if you use the ipfs client to access things hosted on ipfs.

Accessing ipfs.io/ipfs/ doesn’t do anything you mentioned. Its just a gateway.

You could take the link on the main submission. And replace ipfs.io with any (most, because some are offline) of the links here https://ipfs.github.io/public-gateway-checker/

And it will still work.
“ after last year's hurricane devastated the Gulf and Eastern coasts and erased all human presence in Florida”

Nope, that is what you wrote.

This is what the article says:

“ Warm ocean water doesn’t necessarily mean more tropical storms. But once tropical storms reach waters that are around 78 F (26 C) or warmer, they can strengthen into hurricanes.”
Grifting basically just means "people I don't like are making money" at this point. I've seen someone selling industrial tooling being called a grifter.
This is the first I am hearing about the commercial support on this. I had no idea my EIN was so powerful. The brand in my mind is 100% hobby because if I was able to source enough for prototyping (which was not possible over the last 18 months without getting gouged) then sticking with tried and true platforms was the only path forward. Not trying to be cheeky, just surprised the prioritization for commercial products was not publicized more.
Their choice can most certainly be questioned, but in this case the choice favored the use-case OP was talking about. So if anything it should have strengthened the brand image from that point of view.
From my understanding, as what’s essentially a layperson in crypto, is hardware over any form of software. Same as with fiat in say PayPal, you don’t own it unless you can physically hold it. And physically holding it in this case is via FOSS hardware wallets such as Trezor.

Well not really using it per-se, just running it and others for fun on my home pc, 4bit 30B models need about 20G of regular RAM. CPU inference is kinda slow, but it's not too terrible (e.g. 1 min for a full response on my 6 core Ryzen 2nd gen).

I see you haven't used the Icelandic health care system - which receives over half of the high income tax rate.

It's trauma care, not health care. Anything preventative is deprioritized and the country beats the United States in Obesity rate. Get hurt, they patch you up, but have a chronic condition, like say a thyroid problem? See you in 6 months.
It's really not like most people really consider piracy a crime anyway. Most people have pirated something at least once, it's basically a ubiquitous 'crime'. The war on copying has failed.
It’s interesting you say it’s expensive to fly to. We went last year from the US on our way to Poland because it was cheaper to fly to Iceland and then take a Wizz air than to fly through Frankfurt. And I’m talking a 50% savings. It’s cheaper for us to fly to Iceland from the east coast than to fly to Dallas.

I believe you would find that this is illegal. Shapiro (Shapiro v. Thompson, 394 U.S. 618 (1969)) and its progeny address this issue on point.

Most terminals were bought and payed by volunteers same for the service. I think there are 3 main concerns for Musk:
1) Terminals are used as backhaul so traffic is abnormally large compared to typical user
2) Personal safety
3) Political optics Musk spends a bit too much time with the likes of David Sacks and has aligned himself with that type of political crowd
Iceland is barely a medium sized US city. Norway has fewer people than Massachusetts. It’s difficult to make any comparison at all between Scandinavian countries and the US in any lens given their lack of immigration and fairly uniform race and culture.

Interview? https://www.computerworld.com/article/2477417/the-kurzweil-i...
When I taught algorithms, I had 2 or 3 textbooks students could buy if they really wanted them, but there was no required textbook. I provided students with detailed slides and lectures notes covering the course material. I would try to find a handful of websites and videos I had vetted covering the topics using the same terminology as we used in class, or with a note explaining the difference.

Not only did it mean students were not stuck with a surprise bill for a book they'd rarely use, but it also meant I had more freedom to teach what and how I wanted. Since I was teaching it with a focus on being a day-to-day developer, I put in my own section on await/async style coding and optimizing chains of dependent asynchronous calls. It was one of my favorite sections as it was exactly the sort of thing I would actually do in my job.

Yes - why do students feel fine pirating text books? Because it’s blatantly obvious to even the most doe-eyed freshman that they’re being fucked by the textbook company and that the administrators and professors are at best complicit. Welcome to the university, now ignore all that crap on the marketing material and open your wallet - no, the 17th edition of “discrete math” isn’t acceptable, you need the 18th.

There is zero indication that the British government would close off .io to non-Brits. You don't have to be a UK citizen or resident to get a .uk domain either. .eu requires citizenship or residency for registration, but most ccTLDs don't. The UK would not benefit in any way from cutting off .io registrations (or .sh for that matter).

That misspelling of "corporation" severely breaks the meaning you almost certainly intended.
A UBI funded by income tax and a NIT are entirely equivalent in outcomes. The NIT "prebate" is universal and an income: paid directly to people whose income taxes are low/zero and a credit against the tax bill of those whose income tax bill comes to more than the "prebate" in income tax

And decreasing bureaucratic costs whilst increasing total programme spend by at least two orders of magnitude more (or slashing all current benefit recipients' incomes to below subsistence levels) is a ridiculous priority.
Ha. That takes me back to a job I had once ...

No-one asked, but ... I worked at a power station one Summer, my job was to clean the filters at the bottom of the cooling tower. The filter was a stack of plastic bricks; each brick about 1m x 1m x 2m that were a mesh of orthogonal perforated plastic panels with a spacing of maybe 8cm or so. The filter was stacked about 5 "bricks" deep. We washed the bricks under a running hose of about 20cm diameter, standing in water all day; shaking out the mud. The bricks were heavy because they were full of what seemed like river mud. The detritus from the bricks fell down into the pond below the cooling tower, about 20m beneath us. Small skid-steer cat loaders dug out the pond.

I had a runner's build and was being paid £2.70 an hour (late 1990s); the other guys had weight-lifter builds and were on >£10 (they travelled around the country doing the same job, there wage was good money for low-skilled work at the time). I found out that the agency were being paid about £10 for me ... stood in dirty water all day, with the fall risk, the low wage, ... wasn't great. Then I had to quit because of injury after a few weeks. Knee was never the same.

Of course you don't need it technologically speaking. Between DNS and SSL and stuff like openAPI, HTTP comes with a lot of baggage that is redundant when used on the back end.

My point is that it's not a technology problem in the first place. It's a problem of clashing senses of style and taste. It's a culture problem. If you need to dress up your culture problem fix with a technology explanation, http is the way to go because it's widely understood and so boring that nobody is going to ask you to explain it in too great of detail.
I cant imagine a thoughtful, informed person with a common denominator of morality actually endorse adtech social media and surveillance capitalism (irrespective of political views).

People of all stripes and colors got trapped there, pure and simple. But the escape hatch is now open thanks to amazing vision and work by pioneers. They mostly happen to have certain "views". Altruism is strong with that crowd. But that is actually irrelevant in the scheme of things.

The big issues of our time will come to be debated in the fediverse and people will re-engage as this post already hints.

The precise manner remains to be seen. Polarization and online strife cannot be wished away. Moderation will have to become a true civic skill.

But its pretty obvious that having to fight manipulative algorithms and dark patterns and "being the product" will never work better in this respect than the what you see is what you get fediverse.

In Brazil the university libraries are expected to make available every book that is necessary for a course.

That makes for a lot of very interesting behaviors, like compiling "exercise equivalence tables" between different editions of a book, and students having a culture of self-organizing around the library sharing availability.

I believe if I had to buy all the books I used, the cost would be similar to rent.

sure, one may very well be on the mark regarding Altman's innermost drives. but surely you do realize this revelation does not, in any way, diminish or amplify the argument for oversight. Greater forces are in motion, outstretching the limited realm of OpenAI's fiscal prognostications. Even if we were to consider Altman's motivations as self-serving and myopic, these grand machinations unfolding on the canvas of our society remain undeterred.

Well, then how can your coins be stolen without the keys?

If the keys were stolen using a cryptographic trick, how was it done at scale?

It sounds to me like at some moment the keys were exfiltrated.

So "not your keys, not your coins" stands. If you don't have strict control over the keys you don't have strict control over the coins.

Except just needing HTML, CSS, and JS was never true. Back in 1995, JS and CSS didn't exist. But Perl did, which is what most cgi-bin scripts were written in. Then you had to learn mod_perl after you figured out Apache's crazy non-regular config file format. (Are you markup or not?! Pick a lane!).

Build scripts? LOL! Learn FTP sucka, and copy those files manually.

Wait… now I'm on a Windows server? What in the hell is ISAPI?

Now you want to send an email from that contact form on your site? Better learn how to set up sendmail servers. (WTF is m4? I need a macro language to generate the config file for my email server?!)

Fast forward to 2004. Firefox (or was it Phoenix?) is hoping to slowly wrench dominance away from IE, but for now frontend devs gotta know ActiveX (insecure), Java applets (slow as molasses), and Macromedia Flash (you've got a DSL connection, right?). Don't forget JS has competition in VBScript. And oh, those .htc behavior files. All the old <font color=red> and table-based layouts are passé, and folks are demanding they be rewritten in that cool CSS now that Netscape 4 usage is officially dead. Still gotta fit those PDFs in sometimes though.

HTML is looking drab compared to that XML hotness. Better get on board with XHTML! Scratch that! All the XML flavors: XSLT, XSL:FO, SOAP, XML Schema (or RelaxNG for the cool kids), XPath, SAX, X-Force! (Okay, maybe not that last one.)

Firefox is getting better so much faster than IE, so don't forget to polyfill all the things.

Jump to 2010. We've got more browser engines than we know what to do with and they all render differently. Maybe not a lot in this one case, but different enough. Bring on the JSON! The rise of JS libraries brings us the choices of Prototype (the OG, but already obsolete), YUI, Jquery, and a new entry every month at least. Tree shaking? CI/CD? What crazy talk are you spouting now? I'm just barely handling minification and manual image optimization.

All this is true, but back in the early 90s... we just didn't have netcat, and telnet was on every single machine, and so that's what we used as a MUD client, for remote shell access, for system diagnosis to see if a port was open, for ad-hoc SMTP sessions, etc. My brain is still unfortunately wired to reach for it and I have never memorized the netcat flags in the same way.

I try to stay as respectful to the identity people choose for themselves and less of what the identities people impose upon others.

While I generally will refer to this individual as the late Dani Bunten, I 1000% respect the identity that both Dani Bunten gave herself as well as her surviving children. Because what we think about D. Bunten is paltry compared to the importance of a surviving child.

And Melanie's perspective is absolutely in line with Dani Bunten's chosen identity. For every conversation about this subject concerning Dani Bunten, someone absolutely needs to provide this link to her archived website discussing this matter:

https://web.archive.org/web/20110912094412/http://www.anticl...

To Dani Bunten, Dan Bunten (him) created M.U.L.E.. It's not wrong or disrespectful to follow one's chosen identity. But again, in most contexts (not speaking with Melanie), I refer to this individual as Dani Bunten because I also respect trans people (in general).
