Every time the government tells anyone that something possibly harmful is happening, with the hope that folks stop that, it's censorship. The government shouldn't be involved at ALL in talking or thinking about what its citizens d

Well they’re all sold out anyway, so it’s moot! Possibly a tiny run just for funsies.

I love the idea that people’s leisure time should be judged on its productivity. Netflix? Okay but only educational stuff, otherwise it’s back to the mine with you. I mean almost literally with your last paragraph. “We’re making you work mo

Instagram search is my daily frustration. 100% of the time I search I’m looking for a user’s account. Type type type, see the user come up in results, go to tap but now they’ve loaded in 10 possible autocomplete options for my search, pushi

Well your first point was that he’s joking but now the point is that he didn’t think it through and the journalists are “gullible” I agree articles like this based on a tweet are bad, but your reasoning here keeps shifting. This is pretty c

I find he treads in the "is he joking or isn't he?" space in the same way Trump always does. Everything is partly a troll, which allows many interpretations of his words. It's overall disingenuous. But it also allows fol

No, the list is diagnostic, in the same way that lists of behaviors and experiences that may indicate depression, bpd, or any psychological state/disorder is. The list is "you may be in a cult if", not "lol it's tot

As far as I can tell you’re the only one mired in a semantic debate. The list of signs of a cult above is a useful rubric for determining if an organizational is harmful. And as others have noted the technical term “high-demand organization

The "conspiracy" in that case is poor management and oversight, not slacker devs. One of the (many) aspects of this that Elon has not grasped.

You give him far too much credit. Musk has fundamental edgelord qualities and his support of powerful dictatorships is of a piece with that.

I think the analogy is he bought a house that needed a new foundation and he tried to fix it with kerosene and fire. The issues may well have been fixable but he had no sense of what the issues were to begin with, just his ego-driven edgelo

This seems correct. Thanks for putting it so succinctly.

This is frustrating and demonstrates the tension in Apple owning their own music (or anything) service. Do they want us to use Siri? Then it needs to behave consistently and match expectations. If I have to think “we’ll apple has Apple Musi

> This is likely because threads are a "high engagement" signal for Twitter and therefore prone to being gamed. You mean this is the reason folks respond differently to the form of twitter thread? This is one that is definitely

There’s a study to be done on the polarization around twitter threads. I have zero problem with them and find overall that lots of great ideas are posted in threads, and the best folks doing it end up with super cogent and well written piec

If it was for some random app or gadget I’d be mad but it’s literally trying to save humanity so I give it a pass. We need to be talking about mitigating and surviving catastrophic climate change more, not less.

If we’re going to pedantically point out rules why don’t we cook hamburgers on the roof of parliament? Or something else that isn’t pedantically point out rules?

Yeah and if it turns out there’s an obscure bug in those libraries they should write their own. Which they are doing.

I talk a lot about this flexibility gap in my day job in UX. Getting an organization onto a digital platform is great but a lot of them don’t recognize all the small ways that their current system’s flexibility is helping them. With big sys

Do you have numbers for the claim that this behavior doesn’t incentivize sign up? I’d guess that for most folks it indeed does — at some point you get annoyed enough to go through with the sign up process. These sites never log you out so i

Agree. Updating old files with black specifically is egregious. Even replacing the color with a CMYK/RGB near equivalent would be far far less hostile than this approach. Oh you want to know what colors you used on that piece from 15 y
