musk's lawyers are laughing all the way to the bank.

first they assure him that they can make him walk out of the deal.

he pays them.

then they assure him that their angry letters to twitter will suffice.

he pays them.

then they assure him that he has good chances of winning the lawsuit.

he pays them.

this racket probably ended this morning when Zuckerberg texted musk saying "yo bro forget it my cousin jim got sued and lost so yeah just bite the bullet bro"

After 3 seconds of reflection, musk decided to follow Zuckerberg's rigorous and sophisticated legal advice, because that's how he makes important decisions worth $40 billion

A fool and his money are soon parted, lawyers know this very well.

Most traditional approaches to voice isolation are essentially a combination of EQ and filtering, it's interesting to see an AI-based approach to the problem.

In my bash_profile is a simple echo which makes the shell say hi to me every time I open an instance. Brightens my day a little bit:

  echo 'Hello dude '

As an iOS dev, this one is super useful:

  alias cdd='rm -rf ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/* && echo "Cleared DerivedData/"'

This is probably the most pathetic PR move we've seen this year so far.

Acton sold off his userbase to Facebook in 2014, with full knowledge of the Snowden revelations of 2013 where we learned about Facebook's involvement in PRISM.

Here's a framework and protocol for handling your digital assets after your death:

https://arielelkin.github.io/articles/digital-estate-plannin...

TL;DR:

You need a digital estate planning protocol that is comprehensive, privacy-preserving, reliable, and convenient. The best solution is to use a secret-sharing scheme.

The following sequence is suggested:

  1. Alice encrypts her digital testament using a symmetric encryption algorithm, splitting the key according to a 
  secret sharing scheme.
  
  2. Alice publishes the encrypted testament.
  
  3. To each executor, Alice gives one of the shares of the encrypted key.

If you use a password manager, this is equivalent to giving each of your executors a slice of your password.

Feedback welcome :-)

You're missing the point. The fact that the language still allows you to write `p.isImmortal = true;` is the issue.
