This is a dispute between Germany and Russia. I'm not sure what US assassinations of middle eastern war lords have to do with it.

I wonder if the author's previous blog post about spending an enormous amount of money for a previous .com domain tipped the domain name squatter off that the author would be willing to pay big bucks.

Society is a collective problem, not an individual one. It's fine for me to turn off Twitter but if suddenly my neighbor starts electing neo-nazis because they've been radicalized by far-right fake content mills on Twitter then we

Yeah this is what I mean by hitting another home run. I think Amazon has truly successfully done this multiple times. Apple has done this to some extent - although they haven't really gone far past their core expertise. Google and Fa

At the end of the day, after the "Tech disruption" stage of online streaming I think we're going to eventually move back to a point where the focus of the tv industry is back to extracting value. That's what drove the ca

This is a very natural phenomenon, and there's an obvious reason. When you're a growth stage company you're valued as a growth stage company, your Price:Earnings ratio will be high, because investors are already pricing in th

People seem to forget that the absolutist free speech approach is something we tried for about a decade and it hard absolutely terrible results. If Musk comes in and starts throwing around more of that it'll simply be a matter of letti

Well on the "far beyond free speech advocates", the position that the SEC can't prevent market manipulation due to the first amendment is a position that basically no one sensible takes. Or that he's happy using "Fr

I just don't think it's very likely that Elon Musk spend billions buying a stake in twitter before he knew what he wanted to do with the company, especially since his view on free speech is already well known and goes far beyond e

No I'm saying that quote > The consequences of this poll will be important. Please vote carefully. Is pretty disingenuous when it turns out that he's launched the poll a week after he already decided to buy 10% of the stock. Do

Worth noting that the date of buying these shares is March 14th, and the date he started rather unsubtly tweeting about Twitter's approach to free speech is March 25th. So to be clear, anyone who thought that Musk's actions are th

There's probably a lot of excitement to slam Truth.social, but if you look at what they're trying to achieve it's really difficult, and I'm not sure it's a failure yet. Building a social media site is really reall

There's something I find loathesome about this "Send a message" sentencing. What the judge has done is send a clear message, that he won't sentence you on the merits of the case but will sentence you to serve his own age

On the announcement stream that JCal did he said he didn't want anonymous users to avoid spammers. It's meant to be for business execs and that sort of crowd. I'm not sure what the site really brings to the table beyond what

If you want to protect your wealth I'm not sure investing huge capital sums in mining machines, dependent on huge energy consumption to work, in a country with an energy crisis. That seems absurdly high risk to me. I can sort of buy

You know what I really like having in my headphones? A massive spinning fan. I'm always really fascinated to see how Dyson works. They just seem to do such crazy stuff for what is basically just a vacuum cleaner company. There's d

Laying aside the questionable sources of these claims, I did try and pay for a meal in cash at the weekend and the pub I was in said "Oh no, we don't take cash" and frankly I think that's just unacceptable. Fine yes, 99%

That is absolutely how performance management works in every large corporation. You set "SMART" goals, and then you periodically review how you're progressing to those goals. You have a point that in life sometimes, particula

How are you supposed to know whether a comment is “this is a standard good for a B, improve for an A” or it’s a “this is good enough for a C, improve for a B”. Grades don’t prevent students who are there to learn the material, but they do h

The thing that really spins my head about this, is that since you never get concrete feedback on whether you're meeting the goals you need to meet, this system forces you into over-committing to the course. You can always go back and

This is almost a half decent article. And I think it's really valuable to point out we should revisit the energy usage discussion about bitcoin. The key thing to understand basically is that energy usage of bitcoin has a weird distri
