   I use the mobile web. It's better than the app, and switching to chronological is easy.

   It doesn't matter; cognitive dissonance is in play here. The Tesla cult is activating the standard response protocol to criticism of The Company and Dear Leader.

   C-sections correlate to asthma. Compare c-section rates to asthma rates.

   I agree with you and as far as I am concerned, Twitter was broken pre-Musk. Not sure it's fixed, but it is better. Where better is closer to real free speech. BUT I hold this view while also loathing Musk's general behavior and pe

   That's an easy thing to say. The harder thing is what system should replace sprints, and why is it better?

   Hard to say. Are there published comparisons to affluent humans driving relatively new cars manually?

   When Tesla got rid of radar and switched to "vision only" I cynically assumed it was a way to compensate for supply chain issues rather than radar being as useless as Musk was saying. I still think this is a possibility.

   I don't understand why you are appealing to authority while earlier pointing out the GM ignition switches that killed 124 people. If authority are a valid judge of safety, why didn't they act on the GM ignition switches earlier?

    Ahh good to know. I definitely equated "anti-trust" with monopoly. I agree it is anti-competitive.

    Yeah I understand. The hard part for me with Mastodon is I have broad/diverse interests, but so many servers focus on specific topics. And I especially like FinTwit stuff, but the fediverse directories don't even have a "fina

    In what way does anti-trust apply? How is Twitter a monopoly?

    This is tricky. I appreciate the decentralization. But there are advantages to a monolith I suppose, like search and discovery.

    Does the reverse work? Can I reconstruct my Twitter follows by scanning mastodon for Twitter handles?

    I agree. I'm a libertarian and was glad to see Elon exposing the subjective and left leaning prior Twitter censorship policies. But... I also loathe Elon's sociopathic nature, and was waiting for the other shoe to drop with Twitte

    The author speaks of "brand" but what does that really mean? Is the content filtering mechanism a key part of a "brand"? What content filtering does the author prefer? What is the author's brand preference? It wasn&

    And by that thinking, if we could only manage historical averages during pronounced low interest rates, what does it say about the prospect of returns for the next few years?

    It's funny you mentioned "yellow pages". The Yellow Pages were ads. Really just like a search engine. If you paid, you got a big, prominent listing in your category (or others). Otherwise you were relegated to the tiny alphab

    Are you overlooking the obvious: that it is not a very good newspaper at some things?

    Elon bans Kanban and the Toyota Production System at his car company so you shouldn't be surprised about dinosaur mentalities...

    The "for cause" thing is just to save money. I don't think the reason matters as long as there was some reason Elon could use.

    You are thinking of i-bonds. I'm referring to straight up Treasury bills, notes, and bonds.

    Their severity can be lessened however by not printing utterly outrageous amounts of money in the upturns.
