> In this case it was specifically intentionally misleading

Exactly. What people don’t seem to realize is that neo-Nazi content is allowed, and there is not a extant mechanism for Twitter advertisers to make sure that their ads do not appear next to that allowed neo-Nazi content — this is why Twitter verified that fact in their lawsuit.

The lawsuit is meritorious because while there was no malfunction on Twitter’s part, they contend that accepting advertisers’ money and occasionally showing it next to neo-Nazi content simply isn’t that big of a deal. The misleading part is introducing the idea that advertisers should expect that not to happen.

I look forward to further lawsuits against users such as these

I didn't say anything about roads, but it's not true that roads are unprofitable. Roads are paid for by fuel taxes and vehicle registration fees. California's gas taxes raise $8 billion per year. The state's registration and licensing fees collect another $12 billion per year. The state spends $18 billion per year on Caltrans, meaning that vehicles provide $2 billion in revenue for other state programs.

BART takes 30 minutes to get from Civic Center to SFO. Even without TSA pre-check, it takes less than 15 minutes to get through security. If you get through security 15 minutes before the plane leaves, that's 2.5 hours total travel time to LAX. From the same place in SF it takes 20-25 minutes to get to 4th & King. (Yes, Muni is that bad.) Let's say the train leaves 15 minutes after you arrive at the station. Then it will take 2 hours and 40 minutes to get to Union Station in LA. Total travel time: 3.25 hours. And again, the train cost is 5-10x that of a flight.

Edit: If you think my math about the long-term profitability of California High Speed Rail is incorrect, I'd love to see some numbers showing how it could be priced similarly to air travel. I was agnostic about CA HSR for a long time. I even voted for Proposition 1A back in 2008. But no matter how I crunch the numbers, it really seems like CA HSR is a boondoggle.
> where freedom of speech is the most upheld.

This is only true if one defines freedom of speech extremely narrowly; specifically if you want to use racial slurs, or if you want to attack lgbtq folks.

Material criticism of Elon or his endeavors routinely results in bans. This has resulted in him banning numerous high profile journalists.

Elon banned individuals who posted Elon's locations, after Grimes used that info to serve him a custody lawsuit that he'd been dodging. He even banned journalists who talked about the bans, or who asked about ban policy.

He bans with abandon. Joke accounts? banned. promoting other social networks? banned. Advocating for lgbt gun ownership? banned. Paul Graham (the co-founder of YC)? banned.

And when he isn't busy banning, he is using the courts to suppress speech he doesn't like, and creating implicit threats to others who might say something even moderately critical of him or his empire of government subsidized wealth.
Beyond returning your laptop, severance pay has a few more strings attached, like waiving your right to sue. But, everything is negotiable.
The article specifically mentions that these are intended for work environments with high rates of computer equipment theft. That would only happen at significant magnitude if labor rates are very low.

The US national minimum wage is $7.25 per hour, and usually jobs that pay that have very high turnover, so there's a strong incentive to steal equipment, especially if it has any resale value, like a $500 PC would.

If these things can be remotely bricked once they are reported as stolen, that goes pretty far to killing any black market for them.
At least the first part reminded me of Hyperion and how AIs evolved there (I think the actual explanation is in The Fall of Hyperion), smaller but more interconnected "code".

I think a big part of the problem is the 'For You' feed, which has been trash since the day it was implemented (on practically every social media platform). I remember it being a big pain to get to the chronological feed years ago when they first implemented the curated feed as a default. It may not have been quite so full of ignorance and hate back then, but it was still full of things I had no interest in.

I still use X/Twitter weekly and I don't have any problem with the posts I see. My problem is with comments, which are usually where I will see hate and spam.

Nice work and nice writeup. It's interesting to me how strongly the design of original radar displays anchors the project. Your toddler might never interact with a real CRT, much less an ASR-9 with a PPI display. But you've gone to great lengths to simulate one for her.

Partly because of your affinity for skeumorphism, as you said, but it may also be because the OG radar display is a fantastic distillation of "Is there something in the sky and where is it relative to me?" All the UIs we have for sky-watching now have moved away from that in favor of contextual data or linking out to other services (or creating space to display ads). In the process of presenting all that additional information, they've lost the ability to easily answer that particular question.
So gerrymandered districting exists as law in a democratic country, yet would you call that democratic?
No.

Imagine a simple circuit, say a light bulb and a battery. Electrons move from the negative terminal, through the bulb, and back to the battery. The net change in number of electrons at any one point is zero. The energy isn't in the electrons themselves, but in the motion of those electrons. Electrons in must equal erlctrons out.

Even a battery doesn't store electrons. It uses the energy carried by those electrons to reverse a chemical reaction. The energy is stored chemically.

If you think about it, the electrons belong to the physical materials in the circuit. You can't really add or remove electrons* as electron count is a fundamental property of those atoms. If you somehow removed electrons from the system, you'd be changing those atoms and the system would no longer be able to pass current at all.

*you can, of course ionize atoms by adding or removing electrons, but that's not exactly what happens in electric circuits

Electrons are not electricity, they just carry it. Kind of. It's really complicated.
Not sure you know what democracy is... Democracy is not just voting for your MP, it includes unions, strikes and collective agreement

If Tesla agreed (like 99,9999% of companies) with the democratically designed collective agreement, there would be no targeted strike. Strikes are one of the main democratic bargaining tool employees and unions have... including on key point of businesses.
We're working on a MAUI app at work right now. Although I believe the MAUI developers are doing the best they can with a shitty situation (just not enough developers or QA staff for such a complex project), I can say my experience with MAUI has been horrible.

I'm curious as to whether any React Native devs here have had any similar issues? I wonder if all this crap is just what happens when you're trying to do a cross-platform (native) UI framework. It seems that there are people who love React Native (for example Theo Browne) [1]

Ah yeah that happened to me at my first professional job (i.e more than ten devs at the whole company) I needed my 802.11x keys transferred to a new laptop. So rather than ask, I just, you know, downloaded metasploit to rip the private auth keys with mimikatz so I’d be able to copy them! About ten seconds later my laptop mysteriously logged me out…

It’s the only time in my career I’ve literally been yelled at. Somehow avoided getting fired. To make it worse they were doing red team pentesting that day so I totally looked like I was hacking the Gibson.

HN posts/users are flagged/banned all the time - that's part of what makes it work relatively well. But the removed content is often exactly the kind that Musk et al argue should be allowed on Twitter.
I see that all these problems are interesting details. But I find them just that, details. Many of them can be ignored in an initial implementation, in a way that would allow to fill them in later, if need be. Somehow the lack of handling of all these subtleties does not preclude the file:/ scheme from being implemented.

If there is a will, there is a way. I think the will is lacking here. The developers themselves do no care. I can see why the Chrome team is opposed to that: it's the Google's interest to eliminate all things offline. I didn't expect Mozilla folks to be so unreceptive though. Having the unix domain socket support would be a distinct advantage.
Severance pay is not last-paycheck pay. Paycheck pay is for work already performed. Severance is (in the US) generally down to agreement between an employer and employee (and the employer normally dictates the terms because the employee in most cases lacks a bargaining position) or as a way to comply with laws mandating notice periods for layoffs.
> find potentially corrupted files (with some risk of false positives) by searching for zero-byte blocks

I believe it's not the best method as it will require carefully defining how many null-bytes blocks (and of which size) are a sign of corruption.

Another reason is the frequency of corruption was shown to vary during tests, and to be based on the IO load : the observed zero-byte blocks may have been caused by the artificial scenario to intentionally reproduce the bug. Natural occurrences of this bug may have a different pattern.

You should use ctime+checksums from old backups instead.

The fact that we still have not standardized on a (very) few kinds of CMYK toners for laser printers and CMYK print heads for inkjets is an indictment of the people at the top of every printer company.

Ryobi promised to use one battery on their 18V cordless power tools many years ago. They stayed with it through the switch from NiCd to LiIon. I still buy ONLY Ryobi One+ cordless power tools.

Will someone please standardize on one or two 9" wide toners (for 8.5x11 and A4 paper,) and one or two 12" wide toners (for 11x17 and A3 paper?)

Make the toners standard and every business that hates stocking dozens of models of toners will flock to your company.

They do not have to the world's bet toners. They just have to work. I suggest the use of a common and freely-copied toners from a laser printer whose patents have expired.

The printers do not have to be tiny. Leave an extra few inches of height to allow for extra capacity toners that only business customers will buy.
I wonder if there are measurements to prove that it is "objectively much worse" - besides the decrease in traffic, decrease in users, and decrease in advertising that can be mainly attributed to a period of adjustment & political bias.

I see your point. It nuances my prior beliefs, although in the case being publicized, the LLMs spit out NSFW content when prompted elaborately. Kid friendly apps already have problems moderating chat and other user generated content, and Nintendo handles this by limiting the inputs to a set selection. Personally I think this is a marketing based fear more than a fear of real consequential damage being done to any kid. The businesses don't want to have their image associated with drama.

The entire essence of Dallas and Houston -- of basically all Sunbelt cities. That is The Sprawl. Each of those places could be a Tokyo or a Paris, but it isn't.

Nobody cares what people need, they care what sells.

Don't have the link, but I once read a study analyzing the Asian market regarding electronics. The focus was on washing machines, fridges, etc. They discovered that more features, even if useless, improves sales.

> So, what stopped the UK from enforcing minimum salary bands on all workers instead of going through the extreme self flagelatory route of leaving the EU and loosing out on the EU membership benefits instead? You might say that would have been difficult and complex to implement, but so was Brexit and that came with pain on the side.

It's really easy. Germany has a minimum wage. Everyone has to get it. End of story. That's just a problem UK made for itself before and politicians who got pressured by their donors to keep the cheap labor as long as possible looked around and "uh ... its ... uh ... the EU is at fault!"

The reason the previous owners were eager to dump Twitter was because Elon offered far more than it was worth, despite it being a cash flow positive business.

He backed out because he was foolish enough to think that the legally binding offer was not in fact binding.

I am not against that at all, in fact I am writing my own framework for specific reasons. But let's not pretend that web components are a solution to anything, or that there are specific reasons why it needs to exist.

Brother deserves credit for its practice of stealth postmodern retrocomputing, for lack of a better phrase, if you will.

Cheap components are durable and scale, whether hardware, software, or SoC blurring the lines between the two.

Sadly, what this demonstrates is just how much the cloud dreams of Brother's competitors have diminishing returns because they are so tied up with authoritarian control regimes that have nothing to do with users' experience with their respective devices. Quite the converse.

All this anthropomorphizing of activation networks strikes me as very odd. None of these neurons "want" to do anything. They respond to specific input. Maybe humans are the same, but in the case of artificial neural networks we at least know it's a simple mathematical function. Also, an artificial neuron is nothing like a biological neuron. At the most basic -- artificial neurons don't "fire" except in direct response to inputs. Biological neurons fire because of their internal state, state which is modified by biological signaling chemicals. It's like comparing apples to gorillas.
As a Parisian closely following Mayor Hidalgo's activities, her departure from Twitter amidst this controversy doesn't surprise me. The details about her Tahiti trip, costing €60,000 from our taxes, emerged on Twitter, during which she could not perform any official duties but instead visited her daughter and enjoyed a long vacation with her staff. [1]

The trip, supposedly for inspecting Olympic facilities even though this was revealed to be impossible due to local conditions, now seems like a gross misappropriation of public funds. This does not sit well with many of us concerned about how our taxes are spent, and there's been a formal complaint by an Anticorruption NGO. [2]

When confronted about this she deflected by pointing out that every year her first trip with her whole team is at Auschwitz, and she accused her detractors of not being willing to go there with her next year. The obvious instrumentalization scandalized the opposition.
