Agreed - but only where it makes commercial sense to, and each of the layers of the company's IT platform may end up with different plans for integration and end goals for it.

You probably don't want 10 different desktop hardware providers and IT support systems, but it might be a bad idea to try and unify the trading systems for slightly different looking business units unless there's some competitive advantage to be had by doing it.

There wasn't a CIO at Deutsche when I was there, it all fell under the remit of the COO who was this guy:

Several times?

Oscar Wilde wrote: “To lose one parent, Mr Worthing, may be regarded as a misfortune; to lose both looks like carelessness.”

Something of the kind, with an opposite sign, could be said for repeated business success. And in this case it's more than 2 times, and not just some small successess either.

Isn't it more like "He's idiosyncratic and often erratic and/or has political views I don't like" that people translate to an absurd "he has no business talent"?
Yeah I know. Tyvm
Take away the experiments, mess up the models a bit, throw in a little Harry Potter fan-fiction, and even Physics would look like Astrology.
Why is this a thread and not just a comment on https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36845111 ?
The tone of your comment seems to indicate you think this is obviously a bad thing?

Prescriptions would just be doctors recommendations in this case. There could still be mechanisms to softly encourage only this usage, like insurance only covering doctor prescribed drugs.

Is your concern about painkiller addiction and abuse or about people hurting themselves by taking drugs without good understanding of them or something else?

Words to Make Her Feel Special and Trust You: Heartfelt Messages for a Lasting Love
Uplifting morning quotes and inspirational good morning messages can help us cultivate a positive mindset and boost our productivity. They serve as gentle reminders to stay focused on our goals and remain grateful for all the blessings in our lives. A simple heartfelt message can brighten up someone's day, and we could all benefit from a little extra warmth and love in our mornings.
I've started telling people to "just 𝕏 out that window." You can hear the outline typeface in my voice.
Trust me bro.
9front does it better. No dynamic linking. At all.
It's not some obviously horrible decision to change a name that "isn't even that stained."

I've turned the corner on this. I think he's turning twitter into a place where blue checks publicly talk to other blue checks, and people willing to pay a recurring fee to try to be included in that conversation can try to get their attention. What it's going to be is a massacre of reply guys (who are going to lose visibility) and sockpuppets (whose new/unused accounts will be useless.)

I'm honestly interested in that. I don't even post on twitter, I read, so I'm not giving the perspective of an active twitter participant, but tbh 99% of non-blue-check twitter participants only cost twitter money, are dumb and their accounts should be nuked from orbit. Their only purpose was to make the room feel crowded, and thus to attract more broke users. Not that most of blue check twitter isn't terrible, but that's the terrible that people are actively looking for. Terrible with a fanbase.

So, in the future, you should be paying for twitter or have an account at least a year or two old in order to harass journalists, politicians, and people you watch on television. I could see that being appealing to almost everybody.
Hey uh, why not pay top-tier talent to build a more modern platform from scratch, starting with zero technical debt, and then when it's ready, merge in the Twitter userbase, and sunset it?

It's because he's a fucking moron.
I don't think the Bible is as popular as you make it out to be.

Its really the songs / performances that carry the Christian belief; few people actually read the bible but they can all re-iterate to you that Christ was born in a manager because there was no room in the inn (not in the Bible).

Necrophagist[0] is also a good example of this technique. They also employ almost magical instrumental ability both in studio and live which is a hard feat to accomplish--especially with blast beasts and hyper-technical solos.

As they said on The Verge podcast - it's like he's addicted to cigarettes and he bought the cigarette factory.
I've thought about this too and have mentioned it to friends a couple of times. Not sure if bankruptcy, but it's a way to get tax credits if it's not successful.
State overreach and surveillance is a global trend. Don't mind me saying this: As a Jewish citizen with fair skin, a dual passport you would probably do fine, unless you are an Arab...

Even under the most tyrannical regimes such as Iran, Myanmar, Russia, China etc. The elite are rarely targeted by the state apparatus. If you are a majority ethnic group with family links in the military, bureaucracy, big business politics etc. You are mostly safe. If not, well encryption is not going to save you. Take your family and run.
>financially struggling prior to Elon

It wasn't. It's been profitable every quarter except 2 since late 2017.

Musk chose to load Twitter with massive debt when he bought it which is why it's now financially struggling after the buy out. That's not due to Twitter, that's due to Musk.
> Removing the tweet limit was a massive improvement

The essence of Twitter is precisely that the tweets are short, bite-sized thoughts. It's what drives interactions and engagement, removing the limit shows a lack of understanding of what makes Twitter Twitter. And I assume that most people aren't even using the limits even when they're paying Twitter blue, precisely because they know that it's not how you use Twitter.

> Showing view counts is also nice

I don't know if they have fixed this, but those view counts were fairly inaccurate.

> I don't like the login-walls and selling blue checkmarks, but I understand that the company was financially struggling prior to Elon.

The login walls and the blue checkmarks are again a massive mistake that is driving away brands and institutions from the site. Now their statements aren't visible to everyone, and people can't even be sure which one is the official account because the already existing symbol that said "this account is who they say they are" now just means "this account paid for Twitter".
Of course he did. He put his own money and reputation on the line for both businesses.

There's a reason he was lauded before this Twitter/X debacle.
I just assumed the blockchain was created by AI.
> You need to provide addicts with a free, safe supply to stabilize the situation and prevent addicts from committing crimes to pay for their habit.

This is the missing step in the Portugal model.

Want free drugs? The government will provide that if you demonstrate addiction with a drug test, and be willing to tell the police where you got the drugs. For plausible deniability, perhaps only 10% of addicts are actually asked.

Drug dealers can't compete with free. Drug addicts will eventually cave and get the supply. Vigorously prosecute the property crimes addicts use to get high.

Once the drug dealers are out of a job, you can start tagging the drugs so they appear as government-issued on the drug test, and start tapering the supply for everyone.

You will probably never get to zero that way, but you can eradicate most of the crime at a fraction of the cost of the current policing and healthcare support methods.

It's very hard not to take his personality into it since he chooses to force it in there. However, trying to be a bit dispassionate for a second, I'd say the haphazard nature of the changes are what really gets to people. Especially those who depend on Twitter as a tool, not knowing what it will be called tomorrow, how it will function, which parts will work and which wont, etc. is quite a deal-breaker.

I've come to view this qualifier as HN's answer to LinkedIn's humblebrag.

Note I am guilty of using that qualifier once or twice prior to stating a popular opinion on HN...
The case can be made that the US did not bomb H & N out of any particular sense of additional anger, that they bombed H & N to test two orthogonal designs and that they barely squeezed those tests in ahead of the already scheduled destructtion of H&N following the complete destruction of 72 Japanese cities prior to the H&N bombings.

The other countries that joined the nuclear club all made prominent demonstrations of their ability to build and detonate atomic weapons .. there were > 2,000 detonations following H&N.

Many of those tests, including tests by the British, the French, and the Soviets, killed innocent civilians.

The only demonstrated restraint that I can see was the pivot to full blown MAD strategy .. and that came close to unravelling on multiple occasions.
I always thought circles were for some kind of voice chat real time podcast thing?

And people could just join them at-will without any moderation.

But I'm not a heavy twitter user in the least :)
Ask HN: Which plugin you use in GPT4?
For my is Wolfram.
It does really boil down to having a leader with nobody left around them that feels comfortable challenging their view of reality.
As opposed to Bezos and Jobs and Cook and Ellisson and Zuckerberg every other CEO, which doesn't have "people to run it"?

Yet. They don't do anything which can't be done by someone else for less money and at less risk to investors.
Because he keeps having these late-night binges of bizarre, brand-destroying decision making. Twitter is underperforming as a result of his previous rounds of bizarre, brand- and product-destroying decision making. Twitter wasn't dying until he came along to "fix" it.

Yeah, his personality is plenty objectionable too, but it's mostly the way he's seemingly intentionally running the company into the ground that I object to.
Interestingly, [w3.org Math Double struck] shows example glyph rendering with swapped double stroke stem ("//" + "\" instead of "\\" + "/").

Been looking what the "opf" in the `&Xopf;` HTML entity name of this kind of character means, and apparently it is "Open Face".

It is referenced at [wikipedia Blackboard bold] that mentions that "𝕏 Occasionally used to denote an arbitrary metric space. "

The average person knows orders of magnitude more about many subjects than you do. Average doesn't mean that you're half-good at everything.
Mostly the dev cycle in Elixir is different. There are no "binding.pry". We're back to putting logs in the code.
> As the saying goes, “all models are wrong, some models are useful” While the astrology “model” is obviously wrong, it must have been useful to someone at sometime for it to have gained such a popularity.

Yeah that’s how string theory got do popular. It’s usefulness. (Replace string theory with any subject from the entirety of metaphysics pre-scientific revolution)

Snark aside, have you considered that astrology’s “usefulness” that allowed it to propagate was swindling people out of money? There’s a swindler in every main street and in every paper - that’s why it got popular.

It was to prevent impersonation (a problem that plagues the current version of Twitter).
Trademark should be possible, but a copyright will depend if the whole logo surpasses the Threshold of Originality. Ordinary typefaces, plus colors and effects, are below this threshold.
I usually don't comment on these threads but I think it is the stupidest decision Musk could ever take. Marketing 101,Branding 101, you don't rebrand a (relatively) successful product and confuse both your users and advertisers unless you really want to destroy your product. Because despite all its problems, users were still willing to stay on the platform.

Even Zuck knew that after the company rebranded as Meta, Facebook is still Facebook.

Well the good thing is that there is room for a replacement, although it's going to be tougher than 15 years ago because the tech and legal landscape has changed and VC are much less inclined to fund social media. Threads had a huge start but it's already shedding users and Bluesky is already ultra partisan.
I half think some of the issue with the everything app idea is that the west already has everything apps, they're called "Android" and "iOS". It's the slightly weird regulatory / political situation in China that's led to WeChat becoming a thing.
In the EU surveillance systems must be compliant with the GDPR. So there must be a way to notify people that they are being recorded and whom to contact to get their data removed.
You don't, which is why it doesn't suck
Twitter was doing fine. By taking it private, he saddled it with massive debt its current revenue couldn’t service. And every decision thereafter has been half baked and poorly executed. So by trying to “save” it, he’s killing it much quicker than if it had just been left alone.
It's a calming thought, that once you have too much power, there is no one left to question you and stuff like that is the result. Fortunately there are no actual lifes of people involved here, opposing to some similar political situation of the past.
Yes, I agree with you, at the same time it's something of an improvement against the status quo pre-GDPR.

Saying it's ineffective does not mean it didn't change the reality of individual rights being eroded on the data privacy sphere... I've worked in multiple projects to comply with GDPR, there is a much higher degree of care with PII after GDPR than before, so it is a step in the right direction.

I'm not the type to wait for a perfect solution to arrive, GDPR has made changes in real life, we need to keep pushing what it has brought forth instead of just complaining it's ineffective, it has value on its own and more can be done.
I'm not clear on the meaning of 2 and how would it apply to something such as atomic decay? Who would be the "another" that causes an atom to decay?
Bizarre yet totally on-brand for Musk. I’ll bet the people responsible for the rebranding work had next to no notice this was happening. It must be an absolutely miserable existence to need to follow your boss on Twitter to get a jump on his unhinged ideas.
I'm assuming it's "I own the company, do this."

Not saying I agree with his ownership style (I certainly don't), but if you become a CEO for a company owned by Musk, and are not expecting him to undermine and interfere, than you are fooling only yourself.
Wouldn't 1D connect four be a guaranteed draw?
That is Ellis.
If you sit and listen to some friends doing a tarot reading or reading astrology the process itself drives meaningful introspection, and it helps people actively think about their recent behaviour and what they want. That’s a healthy thing to do and I can understand why people find it valuable.

The actual content I think is full of self-affirming biases and wishful thinking, but it’s more of a backdrop.

As long as someone isn’t reducing themself or people to their sign or whatever it’s mostly harmless, and without astrology I think there would be something mystical to fill the same void (crystals, “energy”, psychics, religion).
I don't think I hate anyone enough to advise them to get into finance as a profession.
If you zoom out, the ecosystem is very comparable to running on AWS or similar. It's an opinionated environment with proprietary answers for how to do things like scheduling, short-lived tasks, long-lived tasks, storage allocation, networks, monitoring, forced version upgrades, etc.
I don't recall making the claim of having a superior mental model. I make the claim that STEM workers cannot rely solely on mystical thinking, we have to apply the scientific method to perform our jobs. This gives us a tool at our disposal to pull back the mysteries in other areas of our lives. Flaky toasters, keyboard keys that stop working, the way light effects our bedtime routines. We don't need to rely on confirmation bias, we can apply the scientific method. Of course anyone can, but we're often forced to do it for hours a day, so we get a lot of practice disregarding our natural instincts in favor of observation and record keeping.
If we can refine the "he got lucky" statement I'd say it's this:

He's a talented motivational speaker, he can inspire as a leader, he can paint a vivid future of great accomplishments , not in the least bolstered by his extreme confidence of expertise and knowledge (often not actualized). Everything he talks about is at least about the entire planet, sometimes multiple planets, and with xAI even for understanding the entire Universe, and this helps him attract two key resources:

- Capital.

- Talent.

And then when he puts talent and capital together... yes he got lucky couple of times. But he's always been a terrible manager and this is visible not just with Twitter.
You don’t - oh well. I’m sure there is an endless number of other ways you can try to make money investing if that’s your main concern.
Regarding protections against discrimination of name or language: how can institutions comply and still enact partiality to, say, account identification for purposes of their service?
> have transformed car UX

True in the sense that it's made it worse. The "giant touchscreen and fewer knobs" UX sucks once the novelty wears off. Then there are things like the "yoke" and the retracting door handles...

I think many Tesla fans confuse novelty for improvement.
He talks about this tweet limit:

"The character limit for subscribers in the U.S. is now 4,000—more than 14 times the existing 280-character limit, which remains in place for all non-subscribers and Twitter Blue users outside of the United States".
Option is an union type
That’s different. That involves a house, and the word house appears in the 4th amendment.
Lol x.com is blocked from Indonesia, probably one of the largest Twitter users.

Probably the website was used for pr0n, or the dev who made the blocking rule use a wrong regex.

Not only does it still have the bird it says "Our logo is our most recognizable asset. That’s why we’re so protective of it. Take a moment to think about how you apply it and take a read of our Brand Guidelines for examples of how we like you to use it."
This thread is a bullshitters playground.
Out of curiosity, why shouldn’t his personality come into it?

There’s no moral or ethical basis to not consider his personality when evaluating Twitter, and even if you have one I’m not obligated to share it.

You don’t have to understand things for them to still be valid! To me, he’s an offputting guy doing a bad job, and those two things are valid to consider when thinking of his company according to my moral values. That’s subjective, but it’s clearly a view that many share with me.
Don't forget that CBP has essentially unlimited vehicle search authority within 100 miles of federal borders.

I don't think you read your own link.

"The Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution protects against arbitrary searches and seizures of people and their property, even in this expanded border area."
He's rebranding. It seems apt since Twitter is becoming quite a different platform.

The URL is still twitter.com, and it looks like they're haven't got rid of the Tweet button yet. That's a powerful marketing verb. But now the platform is X and you still tweet? Seems like a mismash of the old and new brand. Still in progress perhaps.
He's taken an okay performing social network, laden it with debt, absolutely obliterated its reputation and value by screwing around with it like a coke-addled toddler (with some kind of fascination for fascist-adjacent politics), and now he's destroying a globally-recognised brand to play out a decades-old fantasy that he should've grown out of the first time it blew up in his face.

Also death metal has been around long enough that it's starting to get self referential. Many 'modern' bands sound, look and act the way they do mainly because that's how the bands loved growing up sounded/looked/acted.

Not 100% what you want but the closest I know of is hey.com (I'm not a customer yet but I am evaluating them). As far as proof that they will, who knows, but so far they've kept this kind of promise for their other products over the past 2 decades...

> If I cancel, can I forward my @hey.com address elsewhere? Yes. As long as you’ve paid for your first year of service, you can forward any email you receive while your account is open, or after it’s closed, to any other email address you’d like. Trial accounts don’t include forever-forwarding either.

> If I cancel, does someone else get my @hey.com address? It depends. As long as you’ve paid for your first year of service, your @hey.com address is yours forever, even if you stop using HEY and don’t pay for HEY in subsequent years. That means no one else will ever be able to claim your email address, or receive password or security resets at your original @hey.com address. If you don’t pay for your first year, or you cancel and request a refund within the first year, or you never go beyond the free trial, your @hey.com email address will be recycled after 90 days and made available to someone else.

There could be a market for one central Mastodon host with better UX that makes it easier to onboard non-tech people, but I'm not sure why making money is a pre-req here. Mastodon was never meant to be a for-profit enterprise as far as I'm aware.

Could this all be part of Musk's plan, though? As Sun Tzu said, "when you are strong, appear weak". There's no denying that Musk is highly intelligent. If a play of his seems completely bone-headed, there's a good chance it's actually the opposite.
