I have a prediction that will make you happier:
This is a temporary thing, that will generate a TON of press (outrage ; praise by the fans at the amazing bold strategy move) and will also generate a TON of signups right as there is a wave of people leaving Reddit.

And then it will magically open back up.
(More press)

And that's the story of pretty much every one of the outrageous/bold/brilliant/terrible strategic decisions you've heard of since the Twitter takeover.

What's most amazing is that it works everytime, I'm surprised there isn't an Onion copy/paste article about this each time.

Seriously though, lots of people don’t use Twitter. Of my friends, only one has a Twitter account, and he’s switched away since Musk took over.
so is Musk. even if he weren't addicted to the platform, per se, he is to the exalted admiration and social proof. once one has acquired all the money in the world, what do they want? power

he is hopelessly addicted to Twitter

You said it would be nothing without tech companies.

Without tech companies, it was still immensely useful.

Apps on iPhones? Great, but the internet doesn't need them to be hugely culturally and socially important — and I'm saying that as an iPhone app developer since before the first iPad came out.
Interesting, I guess that should have been obvious. I was going to suggest that it wouldn't detect cached lookups, but of course that's the point of the random subdomain. Still, there must be some topologies where this is not a reliable method of getting anything but the resolver closest to the nameserver. For example, if I have a recursive resolver running on my home network, and it resolves via 8.8.8.8, then this site will see 8.8.8.8 and not my home IP. (The same would be true even if my "internal" resolver were running on a public endpoint.)

I assume this is a common fingerprinting technique. In theory, a privacy preserving DNS service could route its outbound requests through random IP addresses that do not correlate to the DNS server. Although I'm not sure how useful that would be since an adversary could enumerate all the associated addresses of a resolver by repeatedly looking up random domains and noting the external IP.

I like how we keep pretending that any of this complicated shit is better than good old phpBB. There are no modern inventions for social interactions which made actual interactions better. They're all incomprehensible UX nightmares used mostly by the loud minority of users on the web (i.e. Twitter actively engages with only 7% of the entire internet user base) who censor each other and then fight over how to make it all "better" by over-engineering everything.
One implementation of a Reddit style interface on top of ActivityPub.

Easy to say but if you’re actually being held hostage or someone is threatening to murder you you won’t want a couple of cops with billy clubs and mental health assessments to show up. Swat teams need to be better at assessing which events are swatting attempts vs the real thing. We also need to do a better job of finding the swatters and sending them to jail.

How does fediverse intend to pay for server/developer cost? For new technologies many smart people work for free as long as it excites them and when it just comes to maintenance and fixing bugs it wouldn't be cheap for any technology with so many moving parts. Also, early adopters donate with much higher probability than when the masses arrive.

I gotta say MasterCard is pretty trash too. I was traveling in Japan and effectively unable to use my Apple Card anywhere because they only accepted VISA nearly everywhere.

Funny enough, loading money from my bank account into my Apple Cash which is VISA allowed me to use Apple Pay, avoid ATM fees, foreign transaction fees, and was just more pleasant than using my bank card.

Why would you want to use an iPad for coding? Honestly, the laptop form factor is pretty great for coding on the go. If you're going to reinvent a solution for a problem already solved, it's need to be a better solution, not a gimmicky different solution. The iPad is a pretty cool device, but for coding there are simply far better solutions.

Of course these officials are not going to say that there was some formal agreement since there was none in the first place.

I have never said that there was a formal agreement. I have never said that the talks produced some kind of proof-of-agreement. I have never said that there was anything binding about it.

ReCAPTCHA has an infuriating feature: when it detects you're not acting like a good Internet citizen (i.e not surrendering your every mote of privacy, or just not using a Chrome user agent) it deliberately slows down, you pick your crosswalk images and it takes 10 seconds for the selected images to fade out and the next round of monkey games to fade back in.

Any sufficiently advanced creature would be dangerous without a connection to the whole. AI is a canonical example of such a headless creature: lots of intelligence, and zero compassion. Unless we find a way to make that inevitable AI feel connected to others, it's going to see us as rocks or plants that are only good as raw material. It is this connectedness to the whole that is the ultimate source of all goodness, and it is isolation that's the origin of all evils.

People with tight dependency with RHEL usually have a hard time migrating to SuSE Linux, and vice versa. For example, SuSE Linux is popular among meteorologists running their own weather models. A few years ago, I was trying to run a popular open source weather model on CentOS and failed to do so after a few days of full time tinkering with the source. Gave up and installed OpenSuSE and I got it up and running in a couple hours.

"Several hundred organizations (maybe more) were scraping Twitter data extremely aggressively, to the point where it was affecting the real user experience.

What should we do to stop that? I’m open to ideas."

"1. Scraping is already disallowed by T&C.

2. The scraping orgs dgaf & mask their IPs through proxy servers or through orgs that appear legit. For example, a recent massive scraping operation originating from Oracle IP addresses was just using their servers as a laundromat.

3. We absolutely will take legal action against those who stole our data & look forward seeing them in court, which is (optimistically) 2 to 3 years from now."

I also have had stick drift due to COD and in the menu you can doing something similar to this by controlling how much default stick is pushed.

You set high sensitivity and the cursor moves with hand off the controller in a certain direction. You adjust the counter-drift until the cursor doesn't move at all.

I am not disagreeing with you that the costs are dropping and that participants benefit from that. In fact I agree. Your projection that I find the field unfair is also unfounded. I love the field and find it immensely interesting. I just don’t take mythology surrounding it at face value because I often found it to be a) outdated b) full of mythology but no hard data.

What I am saying is that the thesis that the costs are dropping due to HFT style strategies has not been proven. Majority of the HFT tend to be market makers which tend to help with liquidity but not all are. I agree that liquidity helps offload or acquire large stakes.

As for NBBO and the effect a regulation has on markets you seem to be extremely US centric but if you go across the ocean and find out that Europe has no concept of NBBO at all, and that a retail person trading experience is equivalent for getting a different price on Amazon depending on which web browser they use you could imagine how that would make an average retail person feel.

Another example of the regulation is trying to move a large stake outside regular hours when NMS is suspended. Why do you think OTC block trades are pre-arranged at a fixed price? You can even look them up in relevant reporting facilities.

As for dark pools, ATS and internalizers there’s nothing difficult about them. I don’t think you’re doing anyone any favors by obfuscating an extremely simple concepts. Those market participants with their specific mechanics that are learnable. What’s complex is how to devise strategies and how to rely on the liquidity sources to get your desired fills and desired rates. You’re describing bread and butter of trading at an institutional level and the fact it seems difficult can maybe be attributed to the fact that it is opaque, doesn’t enjoy public communities, e.g. very little blog posts exist on the subject and the knowledge is sort of centralized to a specialized corners of the industry. But it is learnable without great difficulty if you have access to the resources.

What’s surprising to me is that a lot of people can talk about abstract concepts in computer science and then don’t connect facts that bridge into a separate discipline. As an example I could refer to consistency that people love to rave about but somehow forget the concept the moment capital market is introduced.

And yes, I’m familiar with the no trade theorem and relevant academic concepts but they are all models that often don’t translate to real life due to extremely limiting assumptions that don’t enjoy any connection to reality. I think it’s a problem with the community in this particular industry to take academic market models at face value. Often you will find that looking at a model carefully with assumptions that mirror real world, your performance gets better.

Bingo! It's only a matter of time another service takes over. I would be extremely surprised if at any given time there wasn't at least two startups in the dark trying to be the next twitter.

The forgiveness was not targeted at people who struggle to pay back their loans. It was a blanket forgiveness with a very high income ceiling. I would have qualified for it and I qualify for essentially no other kind of government subsidy. But it kind of had to be a high ceiling to have the desired political impact, because it targets people who attended college, which is a demographic that skews affluent.

Your numbers are exactly what I'm talking about. That distribution is middle to upper middle class skewed.

I might have been more supportive of it with a lower income cap. But I still think improving the income based repayment program - which I just read is one of Biden's new proposals! - is a much better way to do this without it being regressive.

It’s not weirdly antagonistic to point out that you’re making factually incorrect claims. Out of all the tooling that goes into a typical developer workflow, iPadOS will only allow you to install a text editor, a web browser, and provides a somewhat restricted filesystem.

You and I might also agree that a shovel isn’t a very good tool for cutting down trees. But this isn’t a conclusion that takes more than a moments consideration to get to.
Also, what's your approach to risk management?

For example:

1. Do you have anything that limits the size of a single trade or position?

2. How do you measure and manage overall volatility/risk/VAR to your portfolio?

3. What kind of safeguards do you have to avoid catastrophic bugs? (For reference, see Knight capital and how a single bug brought down the entire company: https://www.henricodolfing.com/2019/06/project-failure-case-...) Given how fast your system trades, I imagine it must be difficult to visually spot these errors. (You did mention paper trading, but I wonder if you have anything else you want to mention)

Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge publicly. It's very much appreciated!
Upon reading the last sentence of your post, I almost reflexively downvoted you before I caught myself. My god, what a hellscape.
That's what I did. I have a HP Elitebook that runs Linux + Windows 11 (really, Windows is not the Windows from 10 years ago, developer experience is pretty great these days, I much prefer it to macOS). For iOS app development I have a Mac Mini.

It would make sense if they started out building a proprietary os (for which, btw, the count of people you mentioned is not enough, Microsoft employs vastly more people). If they contribute to open source projects and then cry for compensation, it makes no sense. They can expect compensation for services sure, but not for their open source contribution code. Those are the rules they are playing by. Not to mention that there’s vastly many more contributors who aren’t getting compensated.

I don't know much about scheme or racket, but am aware that continuations is one of its distinguishing features. I've seen people praising syntax-case as a great take on macros. I've never heard of units/signatures, though.

I know this was supposed to be a rant, but I wonder what drew the author to want to use scheme/racket in the first place?

I don't get why you'd bring Oculus in this discussion. It's not a phone. And people already pay $2000 for phones. Not mainstream phones, but neither is this phone.

Anyway, in terms of what people would do with $2000, I would rather set the cash on fire than give it to Facebook.
It’s effective because in this instance their interests align with their audience’s, which is pretty much an ideal situation in such a capitalist economy.

Yeah, that was true of my parents' generation (boomers) and to a lesser degree mine (millennial). But I think these days they tend to go for the cultural preservation model (salad bowl with discrete ingredients mixed together) more than the melting pot.

To me it seems pretty messy and a recipe for democratic disaster and polarizations, but I think that line of thought is considered old fashioned and possibly wrongthink at this point. I've just never heard of multiculturalism successfully working over the long term (vs assimilation), but that's all the rage these days. I guess I'll see how it pans out...
