what a weird thing to think.

Musk paid $43 billion dollars for Twitter.

previously it made something like $4 billion dollars a year, mostly from ads.

what pricing structure for editing tweets do you feel will bring in > $4 000 000 000 / year?
> suggests that perhaps the shine is wearing off, maybe they've saturated the market of people interested in the brand

I think it is that they've saturated the market. Y is literally on the brink of being the highest selling vehicle in the world and has a good chance of ending the year as the highest selling car in the US.

They are squeezing ~1.7M units out of two models. It isn't hard to see why they've had to be aggressive on pricing to hit such crazy volume targets. For comparison, BMW does ~2.5M (including Mini) with well over 12 models.

CT is going to be an interesting case. On the one hand, I think it is a fad product. I can't see a design like that holding a sustainable and large place in the market.

OTOH, it is one of the few products that can avoid the "invisible car" effect. I routinely run into people who "never see electric cars". The CT is impossible to miss.

Within 12 months of it being on the market, people will think it dominates the market for electric trucks, even if that isn't true.

I assume from their perspective, they have your consent, as you downloaded their browser install wizard and installed their product, including its widgets. But I agree, they should itemize all their widgets, and not install them by default. Though I am a bit jaded in this area, as most desktop software seems to come with widgets that install by default.

As someone who's casually been eyeing up CRDTs for two years I've wondered continually what the story for authorization is, and this article seems to suggest (in line with my own understanding) that a CRDT library on its own like Y.js can't really handle applications where mutations need to be checked for authorization because it lacks a central authority (i.e., the server) while Reflect assumes that a server will be mediating client interactions. Is this all correct?

I rent server rack space at a datacenter where I have a beefy workstation to do all my work. I use VS Code Remote and SSH port forwarding. The workstation has fast 2TB NVMe and 64gb of ram, 16 cores and a RTX GPU. It's actually cheaper and faster than our production cloud server.

I tried Github Codespaces and thought it was cool but wasn't nearly as fast as my remote workstation.
Stream Deck for Developers
There are many modern successors to the 3D pinball games of yesteryear. The scene may not be part of the official commercial world, but underground pinballers have built massive resources, over the past couple of decades of PC pinball development.

If you want to play your favourite pinball game in 4K, or VR, right-now-today, chances are that you probably can. Not necessarily in the OPs vision of "full nvidia 4090 pizazz", but that'll come, as those standards percolate down through the masses.

Licensing is one of the bugbears, where recreations of actual tables are concerned. Many of the most popular tables contain images, voices, IP, of some pretty huge individuals and companies, and the rights to use each were painstakingly negotiated and carefully limited, originally. Who now will go to Schwarzenegger? to Universal Studios? to the casts of Star Trek and the Addams Family?, and ask "how much?" - nobody without a very fat wallet could even dream to.

This also comes with the less-spoken implication that parts of the semi-anonymous underground modern scene take liberties (and, as such, must stay 'underground') that commercial projects could not.
I recently found myself with a free Stream Deck and wanted to use it for dev work. Most of their market is in the creative and streaming industry, but I was able to find this helpful article full of helpful ideas.
My favorite use so far is a single button that boots my entire dev environment - terminal windows and tabs, docker containers, db login, and IDE all at once.
For Jetbrains users:

Step 1. Create an Oracle Cloud account
Step 2. Create an Ampere 6 core, 32gb memory instance for like $5/mo
Step 3. Use Jetbrains Gateway to run your IDE as a thin client, executing on that host.

You get a pretty darn beefy ARM64 VM instance from OCI for extremely cheap. You can get these in a region near you, with low latency. And Jetbrains Gateway works pretty great.

On the plus side, this is an entire VM, so if you've got containers, or whatever else you need to run, that all executes there too.
The power of machines is less than a 2021+ macbook unless you really pay up for your cloud workspace. Then it's worth the cost if you put the money there instead of towards a good laptop, but people still need some kind of computer.

I get that spinning up a new dev env is really handy, but with something like Ansible it's possible to get a good dev environment on someone's local machine within hours, not much worse.

What am I missing?

Ask HN: Is 2FA suddenly not working for tons of apps?
I use bitwarden for my 2factor. As of tonight, if I try to log into anything the 2fa code gets rejected. One was saying error 400, the other doesn't give an error.

I can log in if I use a recovery code, but even if I re-set up 2fa and get new codes, those new ones don't work! I have to use recovery code again.

the initial "test" code when you set up the 2fa does work though.

Is this a bitwarden issue? Is it something else?
> It also might signal that brave is looking to become a much broader company besides their current browser-crypto-ads thing, which is worrying for privacy

Soft agree, while noting that from their perspective, browsers are not a profitable offering, so they likely _need_ to expand to a broader product offering, without grant funding. Google has their obvious reasons for being in the browser market, Firefox receives grants if I remember correctly, Safari I assume only exists so Apple can attempt to keep people in their walled garden of software offerings. How do the maintainers of Brave get to make a living? Either by selling you something or selling you. I'd rather them try to sell me something, personally.

That said, I'm a current Brave user that still has one foot in the door for Firefox. If they keep this up, I might be back.

Ask HN: What are Mechanical Turk's criteria to be a worker?
I have some extra time and was curious about Amazon Mechanical Turk. I've known about it since its inception but have never used it in any way. I was interested in what sort of menial work was available and how the process worked, and if I made $0.25 a week then that would be nice too.

Alas, I don't meet their requirements as a worker! They quickly rejected my main Amazon account, as well as another attempt from a new email. No recourse, just this very ominous judgment: "Customer Support is unable to change this decision and cannot share insight into invitation criteria."

Is anyone familiar with their criteria or what sort of stuff gets you blackballed?
I can understand that point of view and used to think the same. I even tried a little virtual pinball unit at some discount warehouse club and it sucked. Then I actually tried a really good virtual pinball cabinet running recent, high-quality open source tables at 120fps 4K HDR with haptic feedback transducers providing positional tactile feedback to the point where I could close my eyes and feel the virtual ball rolling across the table from side to side. It also had a 6-axis accelerometer allowing me to 'nudge' the table to influence the trajectory of the ball just like I do on one of the real pinball tables I own.

I was impressed enough to set up a virtual pinball table of my own and now that I have extensive experience with both - I like playing them both. Playing a virtual pinball vs a physical pinball is simply a different kind of experience. Neither is a replacement for the other. When played on a high-end, perfectly-tuned table, virtual pinball is like a cross between a pinball game and a video game. It shares similarities with both but is its own distinct thing that's different and (IHMO) quite enjoyable.

> In response to questions from KrebsOnSecurity, the BNB Smart Chain (BSC) said its team is aware of the malware abusing its blockchain, and is actively addressing the issue. The company said all addresses associated with the spread of the malware have been blacklisted, and that its technicians had developed a model to detect future smart contracts that use similar methods to host malicious scripts.

Earlier in the article it said

> Due to the publicly accessible and unchangeable nature of the blockchain, code can be hosted ‘on-chain’ without the ability for a takedown... “So you get a free, untracked, and robust way to get your data (the malicious payload) without leaving traces,” Tal said.

Make up your mind...

It's not robust since you have to use an API (i.e. Binance API) to access the blockchain from a compromised website, then Binance can effectively "take it down" by blocking access via the API.

Now if they made the compromised website talk directly to the node on the blockchain network that would be different. Except, why not just host the malware on the website in the first place...

Techno-supremacy is based on economies of scale and monopolies. It stands to reason a few massive players would emerge and they would have a lot of power. They can not only buy out the politicians, but do so in such a fashion that no one else could even come close to competing with them. Also, we have to factor in many of smartest people on the planet work for these tech-companies and they would figure out a way to dominate in one way or another.
Its coming true already....
I have not used a full blown online environment. Except maybe VSCode remote using SSH. I repeatedly find anything that requires a network call somewhere in between a serious impediment disrupting the flow of development. Sometimes I find myself in slow laggy situations with ssh to the point I prefer Mobile Shell mosh. VSCode remote (or similar) via ssh obviously becomes painful.

Most cloud environments are also limited in terms of what you can do. e.g: issue sudo while running a process, attach to a process with a debugger.

Usually when these come development environment ready, it also hides away underlying details - i.e, I no longer know the command line etc to should I need to write infrastructure code/automation later on.

I guess there are domains where these are non-issues. But for a wide variety of my use-cases local development is going to be preferable, because by design there are limitations in the alternative.
You’d use them everyday? Why? I thought it was just a novelty.
I considered it but the cost seemed pretty steep - up to ~$30/day/dev for codespaces. I didn't think local development was close to broken enough to justify it.

I got a cheap Hetzner Auction server for all the work needs https://www.hetzner.com/sb . I use VS Code remote to work there. It's easier and more convenient than Codespaces (and I think cheaper). Has a lot of benefits like instantly sharing a web server with the outside world, ability to run my servers and bots continuously, ability to work from different computers seamlessly. It also functions in many random ways (e.g. as my Anki backup server)
$60/yr vs thousands of $ upfront for a comparable desktop or notebook machine.

Not to mention the superior network connectivity (10 gigabit/s). In fact, there are no 10gbps options from the common last mile carriers available at any price (AT&T, Crapcast). And if they did offer it, it'd probably be $500USD/mo+ just for Internet.

AT&T has a 5gbps fiber plan available for $250USD+/mo, but there are very few (>10 fractional portions of cities nationally) areas where it is offered today.

If you have a strong enough desire for cost-effective, really fucking fast Internet for a fair price, move to Korea. In .kr you can get 10gig for something like $30-50USD/mo.

We use OCI, aka Oracle Cloud. As a customer, OCI is more financially appealing compared to the competition (AWS, Azure) for bare compute infra. Not as cheap as OVH, if that fits your requirements. For me though, OCI is preferred because it provides all the standard cloud building blocks of multi-region + (cheap) object storage + block storage.

I mean, fuck Oracle and Larry Ellison, right? That said, building and operating a cloud at scale is a lot of work and I'll leverage their work as long as it makes fiscal sense.
I'm not a subject matter expert. What I can say is that the Wikipedia entry does seem to be a fairly complete list near as I can tell. I only scanned it quickly, however, but it does seem to miss the Patristic sources. Specifically, we know some of these documents predated certain individuals (early church fathers, mostly) because they have been recorded in some of their writings; either in partial quotations, paraphrases, or in large parts.

I do think you're at risk of reading into some of this "evidence" for foul play. Ken Thompson's lecture "Reflections on Trusting Trust" comes to mind for reasons that escape me.

Presently, I don't have the mental energy (or time) to parse through everything you have copied here (sorry, I just don't), but I can assure you that it likely has been considered by the translation boards of modern translations (I'm sure you could contact them for further inquiries, however).

Specifically the NET translators did, IMO, a fantastic job with the NT and are quite transparent about it:

We use remote dev VMs with VS Code connected via SSH. It works a treat for a small team working on microservices. You can work from any machine while everyone has their own user account. Sharing code is a breeze. It's easy to test APIs in development (no http tunneling). Deploying to a local (on the VM) docker host for longer running services in test works well and it's super cheap to run.
