Re-enabled electricity and booted up my AS/400 to read your comment, which I curled.

In any social media design you have to take well known power laws into account. You may consider HN currently to be a highly engaging site but you have to consider why that is: a huge amount of eye balls is watching a tiny set of content, a

Plus, the new site is useless because it doesn't work on SnowLinux Puppy v3.1 with HTML, CSS, JS and electricity disabled. Also don't like the scrollbar.

Because the topic isn't whether Musk is an asshole. The topic is about banning a (re)publisher of information that leads to potential safety concerns. If you think this policy is a good idea on merit yet a bad idea solely because it ca

That's funny, because I actually dislike Musk and see some of his actions/statements as harmful. So this assumption that I'm pro Musk is your limitation in seeing the world in a pro/anti-Musk simplistic binary. You'

The issue is that you failed to answer any of the questions. Hence, you're unable to separate a person from an action. You must marry them into a narrative. That's Disney thinking.

You're overthinking the situation here. We're talking about a job where you attend a machine, feed it things and push 3 buttons. We're talking about picking orders. Here's the order. Collect it. And do this for 8 hours p

Except that I literally did not say that as that's not what the word literally means. Further, Musk has never promised absolute free speech at Twitter, nor is this even feasible or legal. You're hearing random echos from random in

I do support it, actions have consequences. Using an API is not a defense. You can probably use an API to do untold damage to the world. It's not a neutral action because it's an API. Further, at 19 you're responsible for you

Answer these simple questions... How do you judge this rule by itself, on merit? Would you have judged this rule differently, had Musk not be attached to it in any way? The point being, you fail to separate actions and outcomes from the per

How sad is it that you created a dedicated account just to post a blatant lie.

The point is indeed simple: you don't know. In the period when you don't know something, the rational thing is to wait until you do. Everything else is speculation. You're free to speculate as much as you want, but it's

No. The workplace isn't there to teach you basic discipline, good faith effort, self-control over your urges and basic reliability. These things are to be expected from the very start. For every generation. This is the first to fail th

The relevant context is the reason for suspension, which is unknown.

Can't code is a simplistic option. Lots of moderation/account suspension these days happen via AI and heuristics. Which always leads to false positives. Do you suggest that Google engineers "can't code"? Because Goo

I don't know, which is the entire point. If we don't know, we can't judge.

This isn't about any benefit of the doubt, this is about confidently dropping conclusions on incomplete information. That's hysterical speculation, not "benefit of the doubt". Further, no, I don't pass judgement on

What motivates the opposite? It's true that there's always generational tensions, and the funny thing is that people now young are going to do exactly the same thing when they get older. In that sense, it's cyclic. But that d

"Nobody is going to feel comfortable on a UI they haven't experienced." Well, the difference is that earlier newcomers in the work force did experience that UI. Because home computing back then was highly similar to what is f

The computing environment of earlier young generations were near-identical to what is found in the workplace. Desktop, mice, filesystems, office programs, the like. So the transition is smooth. Not so much for smartphones. My nephew is 18 y

True for small accounts, not for big accounts.

Funny you say that, as you yourself take an earlier quote about free speech at face value and then re-apply it wherever it is convenient and makes the narrative work. The next thing you do is to make him guilty by association. Something was

I give everyone and everything the benefit of the doubt by principle. It's fine to be skeptical, but that's different from hysterically dropping to conclusions without knowing the first thing about context.

The original point of discussion was whether republishing data that is already public can be harmful. My answer to that is 100% yes. You make people aware of data that they may not have been aware of before. Do this to a large audience and

The thing is that people are cherrypicking quotes and dropping conclusions without any regard for the facts on the ground. Right now, you conclude that this was a personal vengeance by Musk himself. Whilst this conclusion isn't verifie

"Yet, he consciously chose to suppress the speech" We don't know this. The reason for the suspension is not given. It may as well be part of the big bot purge. Other than that, I very much agree with you that Musk as well as

It's not far-fetched at all. It has become increasingly common on social media where a post that does not directly call for violence, still triggers all kinds of real world harassment. Musk himself is guilty of this too. The right to b

You're the bad faith actor here. You come to conclusion with zero facts.

Nobody with skin in the game will. I respect people that take a stand, but then you have to execute. Delete your account, anything less makes you a hypocrite. Don't de-activate, don't cross-post. Delete it. Nobody with a big follo

That's not the point. The point is the reason for the suspension. A personal grievance from Musk himself? Or caught up in the great bot purge that happened this week?
