AWS can decide whether they want to do business with fascists just like bakeries can decide whether they can sell cakes to gay folks. What’s so hard about this ? May be they should not attempted coup if they wanted to set up their Dynamo DB

I am super confused. If a user wants to "block" the site, can they not just visit the site ?

WhatsApp is even more dangerous in developing countries, and is used to spread dangerous rumors at rapid scale. This has resulted in public lynching just based on false rumors

Why would a Trump supporter want to “hang Mike Pence” when he has been loyal to him for 4 years and just did his constitutional duty on the 6th ? I am lost for words

Parler will be a much bigger echo chamber than Twitter. That’s my point

I don’t understand your point. Trump and right wing media had organized the Jan 6th event. Nobody needed to do anything. Trump and his cronies are solely responsible for what happened

I don’t understand the point of Parler. What happened to 4chan / 8chan etc ?

The nefarious actor is Trump and his cronies who most likely directed Federal agencies not to act. He already paused the National Guard deployment

No, I don’t see the irony. Can you elaborate? Twitter will still have ~some conservatives ~, media, tech people, CEOs, athletes, global politicians etc. Parler will only have conservative politicians and their supporters from the US

The Pandora's box was opened when there was a violent takeover of the Capitol. Not because some tech company ban a garbage human being

What is the point of going to Parler if you are just talking to each other and agreeing ? Value of Twitter is that you are reaching a broader audience

The comparison to Apple or a software company only makes sense is if an incremental sale requires very little investment. That's not true for Tesla though. They have to scale up massive factories to meet demand, while Apple can quite e

Honestly, a lot of Tesla's UI advantage is solved by Carplay. I have a Tesla and a Volvo (with carplay) and I actually prefer the Volvo's interface, because I can get real Google Maps, YouTube Music, Spotify, Podcast app, Audible

Your second point resonates with me. After 5 years of ownership, I just got tired of looking at the same interior. Sold my Tesla and got a Volvo plug-in hyrbid and much happier now.

Thank you for the videos. It was exciting to see actual progress. What’s your best guess on when we can see the first passengers being transported?

I am a tech “bro” myself, but my move to SF predates the recent tech boom. I was also annoyed at the local government for not fixing quality of life issues. But off late, I am increasingly disillusioned by the tech industry and the loudmout

That makes sense, but wouldn’t work from a product POV as your transactions are real time with Uber vs EBay. Uber was found a nice loophole, where they get all the benefits of a contracted workforce while putting guardrails similar to an em

Culture is overrated ? I have worked at Oracle and Google and I strongly believe the culture and values define the giant difference between how these companies operate

This is the fallacy of a "free speech" site. It gets taken over by extremists and soon you are just talking to each other in an echo chamber and agreeing with each other. And then you lose interest. That's why I never visit r

Can we compare regulations on the following things between Texas and California ? - Marijuana - Abortion - LGBT rights - Car dealership

I think you two are saying two different things. Population in California actually went up. But the growth rate was lower than previous years.

I am wondering if people going to Texas are aware that the state attorney general filed a lawsuit to the Supreme Court arguing that democratic elections be overturned and Trump appointed king.

I don't think this is true. Employees pay taxes based on residency requirement. So if you are not a resident of CA, you don't pay taxes, regardless of where your HQ is
