I've found it's too easy to re-enable the home page, so I also deleted and disabled watch history. This makes the recommendation system much less effective.


For WFH, you can work 2 jobs for 2 weeks.

Or try out having 2 jobs for a week before deciding if you want to put in a 2 week notice at your old job, quit the new job, or continue working at both.


What information can be pulled from home network just by being connected?

Why should I care (not addressed by the article or any comments so far)?


The article and video addresses this:

> On Windows and macOS you can run command line tools like arp -a to get a list of some devices on your network and then you can run an nslookup on those device IP addresses to get the names of the devices on your home network.

Basically it can get a list of device names on your network, including VMs.


So they can see I have a phone and a computer?


> So they can see I have a phone and a computer?

Yes, and whatever other devices you have on your network. If you have a family that could include information about your kids (even potentially medical information). If you're working on a personal project and decide to make a VM on your own personal computer and temporarily name the VM's hostname "fuckyoudns" while troubleshooting something, your company could see that and potentially build an internal profile on you that could lead to you being fired.

Of course no company would admit to firing you because of that but it plants a seed on their end and if it came down to (2) employees of equal skill and one of them doesn't have aggressively named personal VMs, you're put at a disadvantage for something you did on your own time on a Sunday afternoon while learning more about networking.

You could also flip this and ask if you worked at a physical office and your work machine never left the office, should your employer keep tabs on your local network at home for a typical software development position? Would it be expected for them to demand they install a black box with video, audio and external network capabilities on your home network saying if you don't install this, work access will be suspended and ultimately you'll be fired?


The idea is to keep the relationship manager a secret.


I know. I don't want the fake memory.


The name of a friend, sure, I agree.

What about the name of a dude you got introduced to at a party and they mentioned they played the guitar and you were thinking about starting a garage band the next year?


It seems they succeeded in the challenge to steal the car.


Is Elon Musk being scammed by Twitter?

Same situation.

Can't a rich dude buy a company without goofy rumors being spread (scammed into buying Parler)?

Having a celebrity owner increases the value.


Kayne isn't being scammed by Parler. He's being scammed by Candace Owens, whose husband owns Parler.


I don't think Kanye West saying that he suffers from bipolar disorder is a rumor.


Not that it makes it better, but Elon also said he suffered from bipolar disorder.


He's also claimed that he has Asperger's, without any evidence.


Not having access to their psych records, I think all we have to go on is what they claim.


nobody owes the public their medical records for 'evidence'.


People with bipolar disorder aren't capable of making rational decisions?

And Elon is just a completely normal guy?


> People with bipolar disorder aren't capable of making rational decisions?

In the midst of an uncontrolled manic episode? Often they are not.


So who should be held responsible for their decision then? Who gets to decide?


People are mostly talking about this as a moral failure, not as some kind of legal issue.


If they commit a crime, a judge and/or jury, informed by the testimony of medical experts, determines whether someone was cognizant of right and wrong. This is not uncommon in the criminal justice system.

Now, responsibility on the larger scale is indeed murky. We societally at once say addicts are and aren't responsible for their behavior (depending upon one's point of view and what acts took place): a drunk driver is treated differently than a homeless addict living under a bridge. Is Kanye 'addicted' to manic states? Should we look down upon him because he won't take his meds? I'm not sure.


Twitter wasn't a platform created specifically to grift idiots, and it has actual reach.


>Is Elon Musk being scammed by Twitter?

This is no where near the same situation. When Elon originally put is offer to buy Twitter, Twitter didn't even want to sell. Then the market crashed and all the sudden Elon's own offer was almost double of the "fair market price" for Twitter.

Elon would be insane if he made the same offer today.


> Is Elon Musk being scammed by Twitter?

Twitter clearly took full advantage of his irrational hard on to get a signed deal. Not “being scammed” in that Twitter very nuch did not seek out the deal, but they certainly fully leveraged his willingness to toss out preconditions any sane purchaser would demand.

> Having a celebrity owner increases the value.

As a mascot, maybe, unless they are polarizing and their area of negative appeal overlaps with the product’s market and their positve appeal doesn’t; but owners are also decision makers, and celebrity’s are going to be all over the map in that role.


Twitter didn't want to sell to him in the first place. Musk's buyout offer took place in the context of a months-long drama about Musk being on the board. It's hard to look at the Musk/Twitter situation and say that it was driven forward by anyone other than Musk.

(I have no particular reason to believe Musk is in anything less than full control of his faculties.)


Why not $965B?


Or 965 trillion, make him pay for all the debt...


What did you learn about E-pimps? What does history tell us?


Hence why certain people are trying to lower the IQ as quickly as possible.


Yes. Just look at the "words are violence" alphabet people.
