Not very far. It's not a lack of understanding, it's a rejection of plain falsehoods.

Nah, this is pretty much the deal for 99% of people on this planet.

In your last point, you reveal your true point: you just don't like him. I don't necessarily do either, but that shouldn't get in the way of a rational discussion.

You're entirely right, but it's not a popular thing to say in this forum.

You can't just start a shitcoin and print it, you need to back it up with real assets. See SEC and what happened to Facebook's libre. Getting rid of bots has to be stupidly easy. They start posting the second he tweets. Hundreds o

The trans debate is extremely polarizing and aggressive on both sides. I'll leave it at that. I think the real litmus test is a possible Trump unban. That's would be earth shattering.

Doesn't matter, somebody else will. I know Musk is widely disliked, but there will never be a shortage of talented engineers wanting to work with him, on interesting challenges, for very high compensation.

False, none of those other platforms have the town square vibe. They're fragmented boxes of content and conversation.

You clearly don't know what an A player is. An A player does not have any work life balance. And no, when you make hundreds of thousands of $ per year, you're not "exploited". And yes, quite a few people would love to wo

I'm not sure if that really is the reason. I do agree though that Twitter's ads are hilariously irrelevant. I would absolutely not want a social network to be ran by any government, no thanks.

You're wrong. This is exactly how he runs things at Tesla and SpaceX. Class A players are well compensated and love working on challenges that are extreme and/or world relevant. They live and breath what they do. If you're th

It's both. It's human nature amplified. The amplified part is technical, very much possible to tweak.

Indeed, the forum-style moderation will not work on Twitter. What I'm saying is that all of these things: low-information, high-indignation comments, such as flamebait or ideological battle... ...can and perhaps should be allowed on Tw

Random thoughts. 1. I think any effort to figure out rational motives for this buy are in vain. It seems things just pop into his head and if considered a fun challenge, then why not? A child-like YOLO attitude. 2. Town square. The one thin

As for free speech vs censorship, a lot of people think in absolutes. It should be absolutely possible or impossible to say this thing. And this particular individual should be banned or not. What I think is far more important is the level

That makes absolutely no sense.

Simple solution: enforce IAP as an option whilst allowing alternatives. The other option would be to not tax 30% on value Apple did not produce.
528.
by fleddr 4y ago
Who cares if you prefer IAP? Use IAP then. The discussion is not that IAP is bad, the discussion is that it's the only option, hence no option. You can't even talk of other options.

Same for Netflix. A basic UI like Popcorn time is all that most people need. Instead we get a situation where both the UI and content is randomized, constantly shuffled. The simplest of use cases are barely supported or completely missing.

You're saying the exact same thing: follow the rules. Completely ignoring that those rules are insane.

I think the problem in today's world is that we're so overwhelmed with daily doom stories that we've normalized a persistent inner apathy, cynicism, fatalism. It translates into it being impossible to make people care about a

Your argument is "they are the rules". I think the point is that the rules are anti-competitive, user-hostile, extractive.

The funny thing is that they have many teams each doing a tiny part of the app's UI, and proudly advertise this model as a best practice: https://blog.crisp.se/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/SpotifyScal.

Fine if you prefer that, but this is no reason for Apple to enforce it as the only allowed option.

Sell creators content to train DALL-E without consent. This is worse than just scraping without consent. After earning money to help train DALL-E, you earn again by selling the output of it. But no worries, an unknown part is shared with cr

You're quite right. And it's even worse than that. I had this part in my earlier comment but deleted it as I did not want to distract from my main message by causing a political stir. The controversial statement being that the iss

You may have some SEO problems with a name like that. Topaz is a very popular suite of (AI-driven) photo editing tools.

Honestly, if Apple were to care, they could undo the course of computing history where at one point Windows became the monopoly. Launch a 500$ category laptop, say 3 gens old. That would soon be M1. Won't be very profitable, but a dire

Yes, we call them billiard sheets. People for leisure cycle through these areas and thoroughly enjoy all this "greenery". A day spent in "nature". You're looking at poison and death.

Yes, draconian as that seems, they should.
