> use it to prosecute someone for seeking an abortion.

the word “prosecute” intrigues me, how does this work / what people fear? Not familiar with US states legal system…

1. Resident of a state A should follow A’s law even when traveling to state B. That seems weird to me as states/countries usually don’t bind you to their law when you leave their borders. They do it (see “intelligence” agencies) but this seems exceptions. My country won’t send James Bond to catch me smoking pot in South Africa.

2. Resident of state A get an abortion in state B, then sherif of state A got you on their list and wait you at the border and find a legal but absurd way to piss you off as a punishment, eg: waiting for you to double-park where you shouldn’t. Not a good exemple -as a biker I hate cars stationing on my lane- but you got the point.

3. Same as 2. but the sherif lie, eg: “you crossed that red light” (you didn’t). I guess sherif word is more “trustworthy” that yours…

If it were, who pays for the court costs? Is that something the taxpayers have to pay for in the US?

It's the same attitude Steve Jobs had about former employees going to Google to make Chrome. What makes Jobs and Musk such effective CEOs is they're very possessive and vindicative.
> Why are you using SPAs with internal routing for small tools?

Because I don't use a server if I can help it. Client-side routing is wonderfully easy to use and provides a great user experience. What good does it for me to pre-render the sites or host it on a server where I can route server-side if client-side routing works perfectly for what I write?

> An SPA only needs to use urls to represent states that should be externally reachable.

"Needs" does a lot here. My tools integrate with browser history for navigation, so I need URLs for that as well. But I often make state available in the query, so it's externally reachable.

> If you want those states to be externally reachable, then you probably want those states to be indexable by search engines.

No.

> You also want users to know if a url is mistyped/miscopied and a 404 response page does a good job of that.

I do, and client-side routing gives users a wonderful 404 page. No need for serving a status 404.

> In the end, given the spec, it is on you to carefully consider amd have a good reason to go against the recommendations.

I've given good reasons. You haven't so far.
Thanks! We worked really hard on the design to be functionally useful while visually striking. We are fans of Bauhaus design.

Weight > The total weight is probably similar at 10 pounds even. The company you mentioned likes to quote partial system weight and doesn't include the weight of their canopies and inserts. We've already made the lightest car seat in the world (2017, carbon fiber) at 5 pounds all in, and one of the lessons we learned was that adding weight can be a good performance trade if done well.
I was hardcore Ubuntu devotee for many years and at one point just got tired of having to undo all of the terrible choices being made for users. Minimal install saved the time of having to undo before doing things the way I wanted.

It's this kind of messing around with package and desktop managers that finally sent me to other distros.
You don't ride buses much do you? Of all the times I've ridden regular bus routes, there's only been one route where the bus being 90% empty would not be extremely atypical--and even then, that was only when I was picking up the bus during off-peak hours. More frequent have been the times where there being anything other than standing room available was the atypical situation.

If you're in an urban environment at least as densely packed as, say, San Jose, then the bus system is likely to have actually quite substantial ridership. By the time you get to the kinds of dense urban environments of the standard major US cities (NYC, Chicago, DC, Philly, Boston), I quite assure that the buses are routinely packed. The story might be different if we're talking about, say, Bismarck.

Furthermore, I should point out that if a bus is stopped "pil[ing] up traffic behind them", that's because it's letting passengers embark or disembark, which is a strong signal that the bus probably isn't 90% empty.
Yes, that would be the most environmentally friendly option. I think, a lot of people miss the fact that a lot of the oil is used in the production of the car and battery. there's a breakdown on this somewhere.

Personally, I think a big part of the issue is the size of vehicles that have been mandated by regulatory agencies. Why don't we move towards micromobility?, something between a E-bike and a super light weight car. that would require far less lithium, and far less oil.
>most examples of "fake news" are in fact "literally true as stated"

I’m using their terminology. The distinction seems irrelevant for the conversation.
It doesn't sound to me like it's quite "tokens further in the past get exponentially less attention." What they say is "attention allocation decreases exponentially as
the distance between tokens grows." Instead of being quadratic because every pair of tokens gets the same attention, the tokens farther apart from each other get exponentially less. It doesn't matter how far they are from the final token.

This seems to me more like a general computational approach than a hand-coded heuristic. David Shapiro claims it's similar to how the brain works, and has a neat analogy for it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R0wBMDoFkP0
Since Threads is a separate app and logging in with Instagram was effectively a form of single sign on, it will be interesting to see how long this lasts.

It is unacceptable because it’s entirely intentional and avoidable, and in no way a best practice that benefits the users but instead the platform.

For the non technical - It’s interesting that a new profile can be generated from an Instagram account but all those fields are intentionally not being made to be removed.
I started on Debian and I will die using Debian. I have used Ubuntu before, and I admit it is a good way for Debian to get new features like an upstream or something.
lol thanks. it's not really ready for use yet anyway :)
Look at the tower. It would have at least 3 antennas giving at least a 120 degree segment. As soon as a phone connects to another one you would have a line (or more like an ellipsoid) between the two towers. Even if the phone just lies on the desk it could switch towers, eg if the current one has too many clients, or the signal quality is pretty equal between them.

NB I worked in a such place, my phone would be in low 40-50% at the end of the work day, despite being able to endure two days easily if I would be at some other place.

That's not what the article you linked to says. It says

It depends on your use case. My use case doesn't warrant it.

I wonder what the breaking point will be, and when it will arrive?

At some point, we'll start to deal with this, but I can't see it being any time soon.
Are there really more than a few hundred people working on Threads?

I believe Twitter had ~7,500 at its peak. Even if Threads succeeds, its not going to be because they have meaningfully more employees. Cloning twitter is a fairly easy technical problem nowadays... in contrast to early 2010s era of no-cloud, poor infra management and so on
There is a token fee to file a lawsuit, but other than that yes courts are funded by taxes. Both sides have to bring their own lawyers.
> you will get a 4xx/5xx response code, but you will still get billed for the request and whatever the servers generated and you didn't get. That's borderline fraudulent.

Borderline!? They're regularly charging customers for products they know weren't delivered. That sounds like straight-up fraud to me, no borderline about it.
Great, now let's drive Twitter's value to zero so the world's biggest impostor will be defaced. Or not, considering his ego.
If policy makers had the authors perfect understanding of geometry :

* We would be living in tiny cubicles and sharing amenities with N people (N is a function of whatever factors the authorities deem important.)

* Strapped to vertical planks for flights.

* Have perfectly circular(/spherical?) cities with poorer people commuting from farther rings.

* Work in tiny cubicles (This has already happened, thanks beancounters!).

* Children carted away to boarding schools to not disrupt routines of productive people and ensure optimal education (sounds familiar?).

* Industrial workers deployed to worksites for N months (N is a function beyond your control..)
100% I think this is the most likely case. I just noticed a couple things, explicit follower graph/following data called out in the letter and the timing and abruptness of the rate limiting change that made me think there's a chance there's more going on behind the scenes. Total conjecture of course but thought the two data points were interesting.
It's in the rainwater everywhere on the planet. There's no escaping it no matter where you are. The US company poisoned the entire earth and everything living thing on it. Seems a bit unfair to say "HA HA Europe! How well are your sane and totally appropriate regulations working for you now! Still got poisoned!". Well, so did Antarctica and every other nation. That doesn't make it a bad idea to want products tested before they're allowed to do what 3M did.
Oh ! Will investigate and fix ASAP.

Thanks for the help !

I am not educated about particle physics or whatnot, but isnt the uncertainty principle momentum and position cannot be both estimated to arbitrary accuracy? so one could estimate only one of them to arbitrary accuracy and then 1000 particles increases the confidence of that position estimate?
Yes, there are private entities with good moderation. A public entity (in the US) with those same moderation policies would have a very hard time avoiding infringement of the first amendment.
The first page of search results for "Very truly yours" includes a forum thread asking why lawyers sign letters that way, so apparently it's just a standard form.
Bingo. Any story involving the name Musk and Twitter is better than a story involving JUST Threads.

NOT to get too political - but - people like Musk and Trump and their ilk are just the natural progression of the PR focused United States culture. Spin and story are just as good as skill and intelligence. Being able to control a narrative is a superpower that leads to massive connections, wealth, and power.

This is what we asked for when we invented PR and advertising. We're reaping what we sow and nobody wants to eat the harvest.
There's an Eric Lippert post from a few years back about working on the C# compiler, where he followed a similar spec-guided approach, with simpler benefits for both making the code clear and making sure the spec was reasonable:

> [...] I wrote all the conversion logic in Roslyn, and I did so for the most part by carefully following the specification. This had two purposes; first, to be sure that I was implementing the actual specification, and second, as yet another chance to ensure that the specification made sense. For much of the conversion code I have methods where each method implements one line of the specification, for this reason.

That’s not really how trademarks work.
PHP didn't scale for the number of users or the number of developers. Presumably that's why they built their own PHP-like language called Hack with static types and a new runtime.
What use is a follower graph if it doesn't correlate to the accounts on your platform? They have pushed this claim without evidence and Meta has denied them outright. The onus is on Musk's team to produce proof now.

> Allow the citizens to take civic pride in their city and institute a "no charges will be brought" type of situations for breaking windows of cars illegally parked in front of hydrants.

Fun. Then we get kids putting a cardboard box over the hydrant and playing "what box?" after smashing your windows.

Varies by municipality: when parking anywhere, look for blue reflectors in the middle of the road. There's usually one or two per street. They denote where the fire hydrants are so the FD can easily find them when cars block curbside visibility. You can use the same feature to avoid hidden hydrants yourself.
The headline is a half-truth, since "anti-abortion states" is clearly irrelevant to the sheriff's behavior.

This would be a bit like a headline including the phrase "serial killer trained at Harvard" to refer to Ted Kaczynski. I loathe Harvard, but I couldn't honestly claim that the nexus of Harvard and Kaczynski had any relevance to his terror campaign.

So, yeah, GP had a solid basis for objecting to the headline. Certainly one beyond the cynical, borderline clairvoyant explanation given.
The way I read it, it’s now default minimal.

Generally a you can't criminalize an action outside your area of jurisdiction.
> Asian franchises in particular seem a bit less aggressively litigious than English counterparts.

Shall I tell you about a small Asian franchise owner called Nintendo, or the reason why the most anonymous among the commonly used file sharing networks—Perfect Dark—originates and has most of its users in Japan?

More seriously, there’s (East) Asian and there’s Chinese, and only the latter can be said to uniformly have lax copyright and trademark enforcement.
Meta already has a massive follower graph from using Instagram for signin.

When I logged in to Threads, it added my entire follower list of hundreds from Instagram.

Also, Instagram already links Instagram accounts with Facebook accounts for the majority of users so they graph is even bigger than that (with Facebook friends).

I think the important bit is that it's relatively hard to argue that "how to scale up message passing infrastructure and process metadata like hashtags" is a Twitter trade secret rather than a general tech skillset useful across FAANG companies. I suspect Meta's implementation will be quite different from Twitter's under the hood, and rely quite a lot on Meta tech platforms.

If Meta was incubating a rocket ship division, it might be a little bit easier to demonstrate that former SpaceX employees were making non-obvious design choices based on SpaceX research and undisclosed features of SpaceX tech

Probably won't help that a lot of the more Twitter-specific knowledge around content recommendations and warning algorithms and scaling up moderation processes is stuff Elon's spent his time trashing Twitter's original implementations of anyway...

Although I agree with the slant of your argument, that pedagogy should emphasize application over abstraction especially in foundational survey classes in a given subject, synthetic division is a rather feeble boogeyman to beat up on.

It's a hack almost on the level of "one weird trick" complexity that saves time when you need to test a polynomial for certain types of results, and because it's more of a trick than a technique it takes all of about 5 minutes to demonstrate, and probably multiplies out to 15 minutes to practice to mastery for the sake of a quiz.

On the other hand it could probably be swapped out for a greater emphasis on a technique that appears equally obscure at the time you're learning it, partial fraction decomposition, because even though like synthetic division it will never be useful on its own it becomes a critical tool just a little later in the math curriculum.

But beyond all of this a basic paradox of teaching math beyond the most elementary level of basic algebra and statistics, and perhaps geometry, is that much of what is learned beyond these very fundamental concepts does not have an application in "real life" in a meaningful way.

The application of much of this early-intermediate material is solely as a toolchain for dealing with more advanced kinds of math, and there is no way to tell to what extent any given student will be able to leverage these tools depending on what aspects of math they are interested in developing further, or if they're interested in developing in that direction at all.
Hey thanks for the kind message !

For this project I did everything from scratch but I used inspiration from a few things I saw on codepen and dribbble.

I'm not a designer that's why there's gifs everywhere haha
Curious as to whether theres a more general rule at play there about filtering interfering with getting good answers. If there is that's a scary thought from an ethics perspective.
It's nice to see Chinese tech embrace existing standards.

There are a lot of chips that are very poorly documented and supported by abysmal proprietary SDK. The software part of hardware is so often an afterthought yet it is also what makes or breaks the product.
I mean if you dig it up, the guys controversies and shenanigans go back decades and most of it is preserved online.
The Twitter purchase wasn't anything other than a blunder either. When he realised what he got himself into he wanted to nope out of it but this time that didn't work. Going back and seeing how badly he wanted to be a "co-founder" of Tesla even though he wasn't tells you all about his ego.

JSX is not a "component ecosystem". JSX is a way to embed HTML-like syntax in JS and convert that to function calls. It does not grant any additional capabilities besides letting you write `<div>` instead of `react.createElement('div')` or `div()` or `h('div')`. Are you actually meaning react when you say JSX?

Builders, polyfills, linters, components, frameworks, etc. existed before and exists independently of JSX and react.

> The underlying HTML no longer matters except to the lib maintainers.

Would you hire a frontend dev that didn't know the difference between a <head> and a <body>? A <input> and a <select>?

Even if you would (which IMO is a very bad idea), the only reason you can build anything is that there is a well standardized base, which consists of HTML, JS and CSS. If those where not as stable, standardized and consistent as they are you would not be able to build rich web apps on top.
> It's not as if these things happen suddenly, either. There's months of effort by the lender to try to get you back on track. Repossession comes with risk, and it always comes with a fee. No one is eager to do this.

Not quite true. Buy here pay here dealerships and similar are absolutely eager to do this, and will go out of their way to make it onerous to pay what is owed, so they can sell the same 5 year old Kia for $15K multiple times over.
> doesn't require maintenance like stainless steel

stainless steel cookware requires the least maintenance of all types imho and is near impossible to ruin/damage. The issue is its not non-stick and requires a bit more skill to cook with. Most people are too used to coated non-stick and how easy it makes cooking.
I think Mr. Musk should lay off the cannabis for a day or two.
They used the followers from IG, not Twitter.

Considering who is making this claim and how much they've lied recently, I'd be hesitant to give them the benefit of the doubt.

Simply put, that which can be claimed without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.
The following is a copy and paste of OCR of the pdf. There may be some transcription/OCR errors in the following text.

---

Dear Mr. Zuckerberg:

I write on behalf of X Corp., as successor in interest to Twitter, Inc. ("Twitter"). Based on recent reports regarding your recently launched "Threads" app, Twitter has serious concerns that Meta Platforms ("Meta") has engaged in systematic, willful, and unlawful misappropriation of Twitter's trade secrets and other intellectual property.

Over the past year, Meta has hired dozens of former Twitter employees. Twitter knows that these employees previously worked at Twitter; that these employees had and continue to have access to Twitter's trade secrets and other highly confidential information; that these employees owe ongoing obligations to Twitter; and that many of these employees have improperly retained Twitter documents and electronic devices. With that knowledge, Meta deliberately assigned these employees to develop, in a matter of months, Meta's copycat "Threads" app with the specific intent that they use Twitter's trade secrets and other intellectual property in order to accelerate the development of Meta's competing app, in violation of both state and federal law as well as those employees' ongoing obligations to Twitter.

Twitter intends to strictly enforce its intellectual property rights, and demands that Meta take immediate steps to stop using any Twitter trade secrets or other highly confidential information. Twitter reserves all rights, including, but not limited to, the right to seek both civil remedies and injunctive relief without further notice to prevent any further retention, disclosure, or use of its intellectual property by Meta.

Further, Meta is expressly prohibited from engaging in any crawling or scraping of Twitter's followers or following data. As set forth in Twitter's Terms of Service, crawling any Twitter services - including, but not limited to, any Twitter websites, SMS, APIs, email notifications, applications, buttons, widgets, ads, and commerce services - is permissible only "if done in accordance with the provisions of the robots.txt file" available at https://twitter.com/robots.txt. The robots.txt file specifically disallows crawling of Twitter's followers or following data. Scraping any Twitter services is expressly prohibited for any reason without Twitter's prior consent. Twitter reserves all rights, including, but not limited to, the right to seck both civil remedies or injunctive relief without further notice.

Please consider this letter a formal notice that Meta must preserve any documents that could be relevant to a dispute between Twitter. Meta, and/or former Twitter employees who now work for Meta. That includes, but is not limited to, all documents related to the recruitment, hiring, and onboarding of these former Twitter employees, the development of Meta's competing Threads app, and any communications between these former Twitter employees and any agent, representative, or employee or Meta.

Very truly yours,

(s)
