I think it is a stretch to think that this is a money making endeavor. Scams to make money like MLMs and Scientology prioritize payment over adherence to the tenants of the organization. And the leaders are paid millions of dollars and live

Twitter wouldn't exist in this scenario from the stock holder's perspective. They would get cash and then put that cash into other investments of their choosing. The only way this makes sense is if there is a bigger offer incoming

Why would they? They are not providing a service for sharing opinions. Twitter is a service for sharing your opinions with the public. Obviously terms of service are going to include limits around your ability to share your opinions. If the

The only way they can reject this offer is if they have proof that a bigger offer is incoming. If they reject and the stock goes down to $20, there will be lawsuits.

Did you read the lawsuit? He isn't saying that Top Gear has no right to say negative things about Tesla. He is saying that when those negative things are lies and damage the business Top Gear should pay for damages. But you're ov

It isn't really a choice, it is just what happens due to incentives and changing needs and leaders and politics and technologies inside the company. People assume that software architecture is like building architecture, in some ways i

If you work at Twitter and you have spent more than 5 hours a week on non job related slack channels at any time over the past 3 years you need to look for a new job. Elon is going to take over and fire about 80% of the employees and run it

Like anyone is going to believe that. It is like getting an offer on your house and saying that you think it is a great offer, then on the way to sign the contract the buyer says they want to cancel and then you say "yes great, I wante

My point is that the only way for China to contain Omicron is to increase lockdown measures to the point that many people are dying due to lack of food and healthcare. The alternative is to abandon CovidZero policies completely and go the p

The emotional response of the people living in China is very relevant to the effectiveness of the collectivist policies. If they continue down the path of CovidZero in the face of evidence that it is not going to work and will only cause ec

You cannot absorb words as fast as pictures. GTP-3 is more impressive as it seems to have auch broader depth of understanding context. The disadvantage of GTP-3 is that it is sometimes very wrong like with simple math problems

Instagram does not guarantee photo quality. They can resize photos anytime they want. Eventually they turn 10 year old photos that have not been viewed in 9 years into thumbnails or just delete them.
