Thank you, it’s good to read a thoughtful response instead of the median “ooh I love this” “i love rats and I love doom too”.

Human self-centredness is often insufferable.

So many loving comments, I have nothing more to add to them, and nothing to subtract from them.

See 1.1 and 1.2; you get some credit back for when they fail to deliver.

Where/how are you keeping track of this? What is their current uptime percentage?

What do you mean exactly?

I think not necessarily. It also means freedom and power.

The flip-side is: you need the money more than your employer needs you. Which puts you in a bad position to negotiate salary, makes it hard to stand-up against bad decisions, etc.

I think that it can (not sure if the author meant this) also mean that you have a buffer and are OK with switching jobs, but are also in a position where your employer wants you (because of something you can do). This puts you in a GREAT negotiation position.

They can, but what does it solve? If a malicious package gets pushed, who or what is the equivalent of the CA that you are you going to nuke?

Comparing burning a zero day to flexing DDoS capabilities is absolutely insane.

I dislike CloudFlare for their extremely hostile stance against VPNs and for collecting a near autocratic control of a large part of the “world wide” web. I think that there are very valid concerns regarding that. And yes, that power is given to them by service providers, however also essential services use it and as a user I can not choose to not use your service without CF, so it’s still very much asymmetric.

a parking ticket costs more. this is veiled corruption.

Let’s go. What a great team, message, and well deserved win.

In what way?

This whole manufacturing of a fear culture, the emphasis on us-vs-them (ICE), loyalty oaths (MIT, pledges of CEOs), purging of institutions (doge), attempts to reorganize higher education (Harvard), control of media (Kimmel), the symbolism (maga), it’s all Trump 2.0 boring attempt at a ‘Cultural Revolution’ a la Mao. It’s just a bit messier because Trump never commits to much and blatantly chases much of his own selfish interests (crypto schemes and market manipulation).

I believe that the parallels that someone may draw between Biden and Mao are much much weaker.

Good game. Trump 2.0’s Maoism is becoming boring.

Hm, but to news readers, how actionable are terrorism-related deaths really?

I would say less than heart disease related ones.

To policy makers, well, terrorism is actionable but so is diabetes. And that while diabetes accounts for a far larger number of deaths.

So I think there is real asymmetry if we look at the data from an “actionable” perspective.

The push seems to work marketing-wise for a lot of folks.

I meet a lot of people who interfaced with LLMs for about topics that they are not an expert in, and they now believe that AI is taking over.

What a bore.

Here’s another truism: losing a few pennies is unlikely to alter future behaviour.

This fine is a sham.

> Leffel questioned whether a $250,000 penalty would be significant enough to change operations at The Boring Co., which was valued at $7 billion in 2023. Studies show that fines that don’t put a significant dent in a company’s profit don’t deter companies from future violations, Leffel said.

A 250k penalty? Get real. Leffel said it like it is. What a sham.

> > HRW has used the word genocide > In the phrase "may amount to the crime of genocide" [1].

They wrote “In doing so, Israeli authorities are responsible for the crime against humanity of extermination and for acts of genocide” [1].

Thank you for clearing up what the Israeli state officials are responsible for. We are saying the same thing, but you want to dance around it.

Ah, let’s try your logic the opposite way around: if hamas and the middle east is so hostile, why do Israeli’s not move to some flyover state. What do you think?

You are shockingly uninformed. All major human rights organizations are saying the exact same thing: Israel is actively committing a genocide.

I doubt it.

I agree to some extent, but that’s a completely different point than I made.

The point I made is that firing 80% of the workforce was not showing other CEOs that that is such a value generating move (as the person above me implied).

> getting rid of 80% of twitter showing every CEO that at least half the staff is sleeping

The company also dropped 80% in value [1]. I don’t think Musk his value destruction at Twitter is that inspirational.

You still ask for evidence that their recommendation algorithm is not actually not open-source, despite that I just presented to you that the last so-called “open-source” commit was made almost 800 days ago.

To summarize, you believe that because X once called X’s algo open-source, that it must be open-source (“unless proven otherwise”) in the comment section of an article that (again) explains that Twitter censors any unwanted opinions for self-interest.

I think the Flavor Aid remark was entirely warranted.

I agree with taxing large companies more, however the log fee could also hinder the sale of companies that are legit only interesting enough for large companies to buy, preventing certain startups from being able to successfully sell.

I haven’t given this much thought, but my gut feeling is that it should be OK for a big company to acquire a smaller one if both sides agree and it’s not blatant anti-trust material (as with Meta acquiring Instagram).

Also their browser security always seems to lag behind…

I think external entities can be disabled completely right, but who knows, it may pay off to check out what GH did here :)

Same, or start/stop/back/forward support. I like those neat Github gifs, but hate that I sometimes have to download it and open it frame by frame to see / copy executed commands in certain projs.

Nice, would be a good update for turtles & PBJ sandwiches.

not just unaddressed, it worsens significantly…
