> They have essentially lost all ad income driven by Brazilian users

This one, at least, isn't really leverage. If they did comply the ad revenue would be lost anyway. If Twitter does somehow win a legal challenge they can at least try to sue for lost ad revenue, they likely couldn't make that case if they chose to comply.

I'm not sure how they can legally go after SpaceX here. Definitely not claiming to know Brazilian law here, it just seems surprising that they could be roped in only for having the same founder/CEO. Unless I'm mistaken they aren't even sibling companies under a shared corporate parent.
> Sources ?

PL 2630/2020, the proposed "fake news" law. Not approved, despite their unrelenting attempts at passing it with urgency. At least not yet. And certainly not before all this stuff began, which would be in 2019.

> They literally just approved a law against misinformation.

Huh? I searched for newly approved "fake news" laws but couldn't find any new information. Why don't you cite some?

The Gen AI company they just acquired seems to be making their own model that, amongst other things, can generate coherent and heavily stylized text. For a platform that makes logos, branding, marketing material etc that seems like a natural fit.

Creating elements like that even with Canva's existing tools would generally require a graphic designer or someone with that skillset, or even worse - an agency. All of those options can be prohibitively expensive relative to the benefit they provide.

Do you use Windows to do software development?

I've talked to several people who described why they left "software development", and recently worked in a Windows development shop -- I'd leave the field, too, if I had to work like that!!

If so -- try switching to development using a more traditional *nix philosophy, but make sure you have a seasoned mentor! You may just find that you actually love software development, but didn't know it because it was hidden under a pile of ... Windows.
For all the getting started and basic process documentation, you can keep it up to date by asking new hires to fix things, or update things based on their questions.

The biggest problem at larger firms is always dealing with other teams. It's inevitable that building and running your app will involve them, and their documentation may be lacking or non-existent. While you can't fix that, you can at least create a list of contacts.

Oddly enough I think a lot of abberant personality types can fit into group dynamics.

Serial killers usually won't kill people within their own community. The BTK killer was president of his church council.

Society isn't a friend group. A co-working, community or church space isn't a friend group. One of my most rewarding experiences was in a space where >20% of people were bidirectionally incompatible for personal friendship.

The collective farm that produced SpaceX is the United States Government. It carried out all the research and development necessary to create and further the North American space program. And it is existential in furthering it to this day. Without this source of contracts, research projects and income SpaceX would not be able to produce its commercial spin-off products.
I agree, but would you also agree that this is exactly why there is a need now for the courts to step in and define these 'new-frontiers' of data reproduction ?

Maybe in theory, but that's not dominant. Being able to fit into society's rules, even if you disagree or don't understand their purpose, is itself a major component of mental wellness. Adaptability is one of the most core aspects of being human.

In my experience, the vast vast majority of mental-illness-acceptance movements are blatantly of the form "it's only natural for my dog to poop anywhere on the lawn, why should I have to pick it up?"

And to follow up this analogy - I don't mandate any particular treatment plan, there are at least 3:

* pick up your dog's poop

* own a dog, but keep it on your own property

* don't own a dog
Perhaps some kind of rolling key system could've been used? If the key was rewritten on each successful login, either the attacker would have to use their cloned key immediately (alerting the user), or have their cloned key become useless the moment the user logs in again. This would only work with discoverable credentials, and would increase wear on the device's flash storage.
Hey, I'm Ethan.

I’m the developer behind Acedit. I wanted to share a bit more about my journey and the motivation behind this project.

Before diving into tech, I had worked in various odd jobs from a Lifeguard turned Travel Agent to then a Tax Officer. The transition to software engineering via a bootcamp was challenging, but it opened up a world of possibilities. During my job search post-bootcamp, I experienced firsthand the stress and uncertainty of technical interviews.

The idea for Acedit came when my brother, was struggling with a career change. Watching him freeze up during mock interviews, despite his experience, made me realise that interview anxiety is universal. It's not just about knowledge, but about presenting that knowledge effectively under pressure.

Building Acedit has been a labor of love and a significant learning experience. Some challenges I faced included:

- Optimising the AI response time for real-time prompting

- Tackling the Chrome Extension development quirks

- Building an accurate “Question Detection” feature using NLP

- Balancing feature development with user acquisition

I'm particularly proud of question detection & my custom SpeechDetection Class, as it required creative problem-solving and pushed me to expand my skills.

Looking ahead, I'm excited about the potential to expand Acedit's capabilities, possibly into more in-depth practice and review capabilities (or possibly LinkedIn lead generation).

I'm here to answer any questions about the development process, the challenges of bootstrapping a project while working full-time, or anything else you're curious about. Your feedback and insights would be invaluable in shaping Acedit's future.

Thank you for taking the time to check out my project.

Show HN: AnalyticsWP
It'd be great to lean on the incredible HN community here. I know this tool has massive potential if "marketed" correctly. I imagine it would come down to proper distribution channels with hosting providers, theme developers, etc. Does anyone have any ideas?

I’d love to hear your thoughts on how best to bring AnalyticsWP to a wider audience. Whether it’s identifying the right distribution channels—like partnerships with hosting providers, theme developers, or even WordPress influencers—or exploring new markets, your insights could be invaluable.

I'm also very open to discussing potential collaborations. If you’re a developer, marketer, or product manager with ideas on how we can enhance or promote AnalyticsWP, I’d love to connect. Perhaps there’s an opportunity to integrate with other tools or platforms you’re working on, or maybe you have suggestions on refining the product to better meet the needs of a specific audience.

Your feedback—be it on the product itself, the market fit, or potential growth strategies—would be greatly appreciated. The HN community has always been a wellspring of innovation and support, and I’m eager to see how we can collectively take AnalyticsWP to the next level.

Thanks for taking the time to check it out, and I’m looking forward to the conversation!
I'd walk.
In that case i just want to clarify it to others who may read it.
> ...can only be concordant if one assumes they're idiots. It's unlikely they are...

Why would you say that it's unlikely? That's a very strange assumption to make - Hanlon has a whole razor about that. They're absolutely idiots. Or, put more politely and precisely, they're operating from intuition - "nature good, technology and/or human development bad" - without thinking about whether the ultimate consequences of what they're pushing for will properly advance their cause.
It also ignores socio-economic implications which totally derail the argument.

Underwater pizza delivery? Sounds great and fun, but is it actually profitable once everything is taken into account, including assets, depreciation, insurance, saving for retirement, job security etc.

Pretty much anybody can do something they are more apt at and like better if they are willing to risk their financial security.
Can this be configured to not permit ssh?
I hope this answers your question. Let me preface this by saying that there are (probably) no satisfying answers for these questions, and that I'm not an expert. There is a classical limit <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classical_limit> that will recover classical equations from quantum equations from the limit ℏ -> 0. Such a thing is a heuristic, which means that we just know some equations/models where it works, but have not discovered a general truth. There are also situations where you may take c -> +∞ for example, and that would be called the non-relativistic limit. Why do we take these limits? Because when we did, the answer was not complete nonsense. We don't know what to make of them, i.e. we don't have complete theories. Also, what these limits mean is not a simple matter of calculus, they are not point-wise limits.

In one such instance I've been studying for years, the WKB approximation, I've realized two things: 1) the approximations are not well understood and 2) the mathematics are quite complicated, but these points notwithstanding the equations are used in experiments. You can read the few-page introduction in "Lectures on the Geometry of Quantization" by Bates & Weinstein <https://math.berkeley.edu/~alanw/GofQ.pdf> to see some of this, in particular the subsection "Quantization and the classical limit". I'll just quote the relevant paragraph:

> Although there remain some unsettled issues connected with the question, “How can
ℏ become small?” the answer is essentially the following. For any particular mechanical
system, there are usually characteristic distances, masses, velocities, . . . from which a unit
of action appropriate to the system can be derived, and the classical limit is applicable
when ℏ divided by this unit is much less than 1.

But remember, this is just one approach to the subject. Another heuristic is this: h has dimensions energy x time, which means it converts frequency into energy, e.g. E = hf. In the Fourier transform, the character is exp(2πihx·ξ), where ξ is the frequency. The effect of h -> 0 would be to dampen high-energy waves. Irregularity comes from high frequencies (think of it like this: a sum of sines of large periods would not have many kinks.) When you "iron out" the irregularity of the quantum solution, you end up with a classical one.

Again disclaimer: not a physicist, nor an expert.
Yep! Just felt it wasn't for us. We originally built it for e-commerce as just a better way to get product data than through affiliate APIs but felt like most of the market pull weren't in things we were interested in.
When I learned the Uncertainty Principle, I noticed its similarity with the characteristics of the Fourier transform, but couldn't understand why. This paper says:

> In quantum mechanics, the wave function of position is the Fourier transform of the wave function of momentum.

That explains it!
i kind of get the vibe from the black documentation that it's written by the kind of person who thinks we're bad people for wanting that, and perhaps that everyone should wear the same uniform because vanity is sinful and aesthetics are frivolous
If you like survival horror, give Signalis a try.
I feel like this is both very right but also the million dollar question?

I don't think others necessarily quote-unquote "lost focus" on this problem, but it's not exactly easy to solve correctly, so in the meantime it's easier to create something with the next best approximation.

Six Ways to Rein in Musk
Yep, I've worked in recycling for 6 years and am well aware that there's a lot of broken parts. My point was that if a PET bottle goes into a single stream system, the recycling industry is pretty good at capturing it, baling it, and selling it to a plastics processor. That processor will clean it, pellet it, and sell it as rPET. 85% of PET bottles that end up in curbside single stream end up getting recycled. I'd like that number higher, but it's where things are at the moment. Throw a bottle in the trash, it's getting landfilled/burned. Throw it in recycling, it's most likely getting recycled.

Just wanted to flag that there are areas in the US that co-operative enterprises do flourish and have knock-on effects. This is biased by my food co-operative experience but just to show that there is an alternative to unfettered capitalism where businesses help each other thrive.

- The Minneapolis/St. Paul region has so many food co-ops that there's a co-operative warehouse dedicated to serving them (and other businesses too) https://www.cpw.coop/

- New England has a multitude of 30-40 year old food co-ops (along with startups like mine) and has its own association of food co-ops to help advocate for better state policy/governance http://nfca.coop/

- National Co-op Grocers is a US-wide group that helps co-ops buy food at cheaper rates and provides a ton of great branding food co-ops who are members get to use https://www.grocery.coop/

I'd love to see more tech co-operatives sprout up someday... there is an alternative to VC that keeps ownership equal, and it's been all around us this whole time!
