One of my favorite books. I have the first edition hardback, a paperback, and an ebook version. I just keep buying it for some reason.

Made me wish I'd gone to a small liberal arts college just for the intensity of the cliques.

And someday I'll actually learn Ancient Greek. Someday.

Does he want a yes or a no result?

It's not a violation.

If I had to bet at this point, I'd say it's a mistake caused by a poorly articulated spur-of-the-moment policy.

I don't believe this was the intent of the policy, but that doesn't mean it's not the way it's being implemented in the absence of clear guidelines.

Musk's lack of clear articulation is the biggest problem Twitter faces.

It's my feeling that most will be back. But the frothy frenzy will have to burn itself out first.

My sense was Delphi was replaced more by Visual Basic, though it's entirely possible that's based on my personal experience and didn't represent a larger trend.

The cross-posting exception makes it rather trivial to evade the non-promotion policy.

Don't link to othernetwork/@assassinationcoordinates, link to othernetwork/@assassinationcoordinates/post001 and you're good to go.

Do that for all your posts and you've promoted your othernetwork account without violating the policy.

Assuming the policy doesn't change.

I suspect this would factor heavily into any such concern-

"Additionally, we allow paid advertisement/promotion for any of the prohibited social media platforms."

Sweeney himself says Musk's jet is using PIA. Sweeney told Musk about the program in the first place, so he was completely aware of the situation.

>It was also on a day when ElonJet wasn't operating.

This is false and easily verified for yourself.

Elon's jet landed in Los Angeles on the night in question. This is easy for you to verify for yourself.

I think he was legit shaken by the incident with the kook stalker and his son. Which is certainly understandable. People need to dial the hate way down. Way, way down.

And the rule change was quite clear that linking to the jet tracking was prohibited.

That all said, he's gone too far here. And it's an unwinnable fight anyway.

The account is back, and this seems to be the condition required.

"flies back and forth between three damn airports on one airplane which publicly disclosed its flight plans"

That's the funny thing. He's got one of the most predictable private jets ever. It goes to the same 3 places 90% of the time.

As I read it, any "live" post of any person in any public place without their permission falls afoul of the rule.

So a simple photo of a busy public street would be banned.

I do agree that tracking people and publicizing their location against their will should be banned. This is clear and obvious to me.

But, and this is a big but, Musk specifically used this account as an example of his commitment to free speech.

So if Elon Musk gets splashback on this, there's no one to blame but Elon Musk.

When I first signed up for TikTok it showed me stuff to figure out what I would like. It showed me some of the most racist humor I'd heard since I was a boy in the deep south. If I'd liked it, it would have shown me more and more and more of it. As it is, I don't see it now because the algo feeds me stuff I actually like.

I do think there's a content problem on TikTok, but I think it's hidden away from the people who would point it out due to the way the algo works.

In my experience the average HN reader is slightly above the general population average.

Our BBS meetups ("bashes" in our lingo) were a wide range of outside the mainstream people.

Teenagers with nerdish interests (me and my crowd), hippie physicists from the local university, BDSM people, swingers (a lot of swingers, probably party people by nature), a few Hitler-was-right Nazis here and there, some pagan types, conspiracy theorists, gay & lesbian folks, and on and on. There was a some overlap in the crowds, and at the bashes everyone mixed and matched just fine. Fun was had by all.

I later dated someone from those bashes for a few years, and a couple of people from back then are good friends to this day. Still in touch with a few more, all of whom are doing interesting things.

It won't be Musk, but I would not be at all shocked if one of the people there gets an implant with no official or public record of it very early on in this process.

So now blockchains are tools of anti-Semitic right wingers.

Sure, Paul.

Are they able to go elsewhere and find better pay?

I wouldn't count the withdrawn and still enrolled in that calculation, though.

If you go by graduated learners, it's 56%.

> Drive up enforcement costs and create an entire police enterprise

This is a feature if you're the government.

There's also cost savings that are numbers shuffling on a spreadsheet and then there's cost savings that are actually less money leaving the corporate accounts.

There's a case for Apple taking a cut on app sales themselves. There's a lot less of a case for them taking such a giant cut of sales within the apps.

Obviously they can, but in my opinion it's an absurdly high cut.

Yeah, several directors have been associated with the project in the past. It spans decades now.

One of the directors from a past incarnation, Vincenzo Natali, directed much of The Peripheral series. He's done a good job with that show, and I think he gets Neuromancer better than most. Maybe it'll be him.

>Calling it one is a shibboleth which declares your allegiance to Musk's marketing.

Nope. This is a very long running thing, Musk is just the current high profile face of it.

Downtown Los Angeles sometimes goes of sprees of jaywalking enforcement, but only in downtown. Never saw it enforced anywhere else in the city.

Here in the California central valley sideshows have picked up quite notably in the last five years or so. These aren't really about drag racing, it's more a bunch of cars showing up somewhere to show off and do donuts in some intersection.

A lot of injuries from people standing too close to spinning cars, and when the cops show up everyone races off, often causing accidents with complete innocents.

California has some new laws against the practice, so I guess we'll see where that goes.

It would be worth the effort for even the smallest commercial real estate management company. There are huge, massive, titanic sums of money at stake here.

Not taking a position on this particular site, but there's plenty of financial benefits here.
