This is ridiculous, and it passed 46-6 which is quite baffling but not surprising given it's California. I worked at a local newspaper in the past and I can't tell you how many people they employed for things not central to core j

Just looked it up, awesome, didn't realize they had another single-rail coaster in CA. I've been to Silverwood Theme Park in Idaho, close to their HQ but they hadn't built Stunt Pilot yet. Wonder Woman is essentially a bigger

For me it probably started around middle school when I first discovered roller coasters, while simultaneously playing the game Theme Park[0], and later Roller Coaster Tycoon. One of my childhood best friends and I would get our parents to d

whoa, cool to see https://sqwok.im mentioned. There were some issues with posting from firefox on linux but according to the author they resolved in latest os upgrade.

I guess my point isn't that they shouldn't build a quality dm feature, it's that most people don't consider e2e part of that. The average person cares about ease of use/utility and that's about it. The people w

So, you realize Instagram, Pinterest, and a whole host of other unicorn software companies started out with python (often using django) right? And many, many current startups continue to do so.

Faster compared to who? Twitter wasn't build for dms, it was never the primary purpose, and even if it is a standard feature for all social apps, I highly doubt 99% of users care about e2e.

I felt that same feeling in ~2009 when I first joined Facebook, before it had ads. I think new communities in general tend to feel more "pure" in the beginning. Of course keeping that intimacy long term is the challenge.

There's a different problem I'm not sure if they've addressed, namely that Google chooses what it wants to index and finds relevant, meaning it's not certain your data will be indexed.

Brutal. One thing I always wondered was why Facebook never started their own cloud services offering like Amazon did with AWS? They have the scale, expertise, and infrastructure to do it yet never have. While a lot of large companies consta

For anyone curious here's my video from watching the launch live at Isla Vista park on South Padre Island. It's hard to state just how loud and insanely massive Starship is in general and compared to Falcon 9 (which I was fortunat

China has banned nearly all US social networks already so is this really surprising given the current status quo?

Google should go back to being strictly links as the results, nothing else. At most 1 paid ad on the top or just below the fold.

I don't see how ChatGPT and social apps relate? To me, social implies social interaction with other humans, not with a machine learning model.

For some yes, but I'm specifically talking about the cohort who choose that lifestyle and wouldn't take housing no matter what. They prefer to live in a tent in the hillside, with not a shred of responsibility or authority telling

What a sad and cynical view of life. All the negatives you mention are natural parts of living, of being alive, of the circle of life. You're leaving out all of the joy, the triumph, the beauty, and the awe of having a brief moment of

It's more complex than housing imo. There's an entire culture of people who wouldn't take the housing if you gave it to them. I've seen it first hand.
