The now defunt 'Disinformation Governance Board' obviously.

Who's the fascist you speak of? Is it the government that set up the ministry of truth?

Perhaps what value they're getting out of voice services is not what you think it is. Data, training, pattern recognition, language.

Going by Bitfinex'ed, FTX was a money laundering front for Tether/Bitfinex, replacing Reginald Fowler. Also supposed (though it appears purely speculation) is that FTX was killed because it was about to create its own stablecoin.

See I don't understand this. Just because it is said that crypto is some decentralised no government economy surely does not mean it isn't governed by existing laws and regulations for their processes and actions? Especially the

That's ridiculous. There have been twitter/substance/etc folk long calling out all the shenanigans and diving into the data, figures and relationships that any reasonable journalist would have had an easy time of it. I don&#

Wait until it comes to Tether's turn. The ability for those guys to skirt any serious investigation or attention is truly magical. It's not even a complex multi-layered obfuscated fraud, it's practically out in the open, yet

Not sure if sarcasm, but just in case... My friend you need to open a window and see the rest of the world that exists outside that binary choice...

Except there's no opt-out or prompt to inform you. Quite a difference I'd say.

And some would say this is a deliberate adversarial tactic to guide people to surrender their privacy and freedoms, because those that would defend them can't sufficiently explain the complexity to be more convincing than 'simple&

Just curious, among the critical stuff just holding on, was there also a whole pile of departments and teams doing work that could cease tomorrow and the company would blink and move on? My experience is both exist at the same time because

I guess that highlights that for some time we just won't know the actual effects and everything right now is just posturing and speculating. If in six months (or suitable time period) we see stagnation in releases and technical issues

$8 blue check marks :p Not sure that has long term profitability... I think the statement probably is more like "no one has figured out an easier way to monetize a social network"...

Was Twitter 'good' aside Musk purchased it? Without that event, would it still need substantial changes to be profitable and useful going forward?

Nothing beats an internet random telling us how much a successful person is silly and also can't meet their own superior standards. It's not about being a fan or not, it's that you're not actually providing any real insi

Because politics and ideologues are so prevalent and everyone's attaching 'the other' (both sides) for the own. And of course people in 'important' roles who've been laid off are going to say the company is doo

With of course the irony that it will almost guarantee they don't get that.

Well, you've chosen convenience over time and here you are.

HN being focused on tech allows it to be somewhat like a streamlined forum section with clear and implemented moderation guidelines. Without any of the other fluff/crud. I.e, Facebook could work similarly if it was just private/pu

Why can't you do that on twitter?

Hence we have https://www.jellybelly.com/jelly-belly-bean-recipes I certainly would laugh if I went into a restaurant and on top of my 'truffle-infused' Lamb Ragù was a gently placed Truffle Jellybean.

And what do said people threaten to use to maintain that control?

I think it would be much more interesting to see a study between novel research produced under different education models. E.g. government funded vs industry funded vs user pays.

It sounds like you haven't been around those kinds of drinkers then. The kind that will just spike a beer with vodka shots or do sneaky refills to make sure their friend 'experiences' the desired outcome. Very jesty.

With basic honesty, instead of this constant double-bluff pressure chamber approach that is 'the norm.'

That's probably easy enough if you're just job shopping while still working, but if you're out of money and need a job pretty urgently I don't imagine that'd be so easy to do...

No, there are many people who will say you're not drinking properly if you haven't passed out, lost memory, spewed, done something stupid, etc. The argument above is exactly the same with the same qualifier that of course not ever

I get that, but I find that kind of thinking achieves nothing practical because it's endlessly scalable, and hence the tie in knots problem because it starts justifying "well I just need to extract another 500% profit because then

I think I might go rob a bank and use the excuse "I wasn't robbing it, I'm just really bad at withdrawals!"
