Lmao that Elons defence for why he should get CEO pay is "I'm not a ceo". He says he's an engineer, pay him an engineer salary.

So they have an offsite backup on tape from before Musk took over right? They going to roll it back? Twitter has a DR plan that includes hostile take over surely.

I’ll do it. I’d be a terrible CEO. I’ll start Juicero 2.0 and you bet the workplace AND the juice will be toxic as hell

Anyone could have predicted this. It's the business equivalent of taking a massive poo poo and leaving it for the next person to flush

I'm more thinking of if it's possible to sell Twitter to someone else and them actually get something running again at some point. Elon is hosed best he's getting is $3.50 for this.

You can't rollback Twitter, it's a distributed system that's been running for more than a decade, at this point it is guaranteed to have at least one massive circular dependency that means you can't shut it down and expect it to come back up, ever, without some massive rewrite. And that's before you fire everyone who understand how the thing even works.

I've been assuming the whole Twitter 2.0 is going to involve only the most minor actual changes to the original code, plus whatever idiot moneymaking scheme he finally settles on bolted onto that. Because the actual point of 2.0 is that he can rebrand it as a Musk creation for which he can take full credit, just like he did with Tesla.

Musk issues ultimatum to staff: Commit to ‘hardcore’ Twitter or take severance https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2022/11/16/musk-twitter-email-ultimatum-termination/ “This will mean working long hours at high intensity,” he said. “Only exceptional performance will constitute a passing grade.” By mid-Wednesday, members of Twitter’s Trust and Safety team — who are responsible for keeping hate speech and misinformation off the site — were discussing a mass resignation, according to three current employees who spoke on the condition of anonymity for fear of retribution. Still, multiple employees said they refused to sign any pledge, signaling their frustration with the new direction and the blow it has dealt to staff morale. The workers, who spoke on the condition of anonymity for fear of retribution, said the ultimatum was the final straw. “I’m delighted to know I have the option to leave,” one of them said. “I’m not committing to hardcore Twitter.” The Trust and Safety team monitors and polices the site for abuse, hate speech, misinformation and other rule-breaking content. Its role is aimed at fostering a “healthy discourse” on the site, and its ousted leader, Vijaya Gadde, wrote that it did so in the name of “free expression.” Many of the members feel that Musk doesn’t value their contributions, the employees said. If the team decides to go forward with a mass resignation, it could throw content moderation on the site into chaos — something already feared to be in jeopardy after layoffs earlier this month. Meanwhile, advertisers have been pausing spending on the site, hurting Twitter’s main source of revenue. Companies including General Motors, Volkswagen and General Mills said they were pausing advertising after Musk took over — with some brands acting in conjunction with calls from civil rights groups to do so. Meanwhile, those who subscribed to Blue Verified were often accounts promoting right-wing politics, cryptocurrency speculation or adult content such as pornography, a review of Twitter data compiled by a software developer showed. About 150,000 users were subscribed to Twitter Blue — which encompasses Blue Verified — at the time of the pause, according to one of the people with knowledge of internal matters, a figure corroborated by internal data on tweets from Blue Verified accounts and an external analysis. That’s just 0.06 percent of the roughly 250 million people estimated to use Twitter each day. That subscriber figure would bring in only $14.4 million annually in revenue — while threatening the ad revenue generated from super-users who pay for Twitter Blue and will see fewer advertisements, a trade-off that was warned about in the internal document predating Musk’s takeover. Nearly 10 percent of overall Twitter Blue subscribers talk about cryptocurrency on their profile pages, including popular crypto news and accounts that promote crypto investments that they predict will rise, according to The Post’s review. One major group of new Twitter Blue subscribers are right-wing influencers. Some 150 accounts that disproportionately interact with at least five prominent right-wing influencers signed up this way. TL/DR: Everythings fine.

Furries in tech is funny. I met someone I already knew via vintage computer stuff at a furry con and he was like, yeah man, if you know people in tech flip a coin for each. Related a story of the first time he was 'out' at a company and someone was like huh, that's neat. First one I've met. "Lol no you work in tech try again." They are also some of the most pure hearted people I've known and I would rather work in an environment where a literal fursuit is mandatory than at one where furries aren't allowed at all.

From what I've seen, the Tesla autopilot drives like it's half wrecked anyway, so it might be hard to tell the difference.

Strong Sauce posted:i honestly can't tell if this is a spoof or not. Not being able to completely shut down some large complicated system because nobody's sure if it can be started back up again without serious trouble is definitely a real problem. Whether or not Twitter could be totally shut down and started back up is all speculative, probably even to everyone who's ever worked there. The most likely way to get into this kind of trouble is a system that relies heavily on hot caches to service requests. If the system is coming up from a cold start and the caches are all cold, the requests have to be serviced from some much slower datastore as the caches reheat, and the system is probably also going to be under an extra rush of load while it's starting as everyone dogpiles on it. This might be enough to kill the system. A probably dumb but simple analogy is imaging you're throwing pebbles on a bridge and eventually you've thrown ten thousand pounds of pebbles. The bridge sustained it because the load was added gradually over time. If you suddenly drop that ten thousand pounds of pebbles on the bridge in a few seconds, bridge might fall down.
