I really wonder how many of Twitter's problem are actually engineering problems versus how many of the problems are more about decisions and direction of the platform. Though of course, it's good to have talented engineers but I w

Can you turn US dollars or Euros into crypto in decentralized exchanges? As far as I remember you could only trade crypto; one token for another. That's useful if you have crypto, but how do you get into the field in the first place? A

Thanks for this comment, I have been thinking of alternative ways for compensating artists and almost always conclude that it is, indeed, the state that needs to take charge of it. Though I guess the problem is a little bit more complex in

I have been trying to get my account declassified as a NSFW blog for years, customer support in tumblr is truly terrible. But it's pretty cool that they're doing this. Might go back now.

I also use Beethoven's 5th symphony when I really want to get something done. I also like the 9th as well as Mozart's requiem.

This sort of activism, if it was that, is really not a good thing. Not because animals don't deserve to be free but because usually these animals can destroy the local ecosystems. I remember one time people tried to free rat labs from

Z-library was popular amongst everyone, hackernews is a really niche website. But I believe with that website going down people will start looking for alternatives. If everything fails, we can always go back to download books through IRC.

Maybe ads on the platfom? I'm not sure because 1. i use libgen 2. i run adblock. But it wouldn't be surprising that such a popular platform would have ads. Z-library was a site for pirated e-books, no?

It doesn't seem like he's been doing a great job so far. But hey, maybe he's making the right decisions and no one really understand anything. What even is the goal of a platform like twitter? Profitability? Something else?

I would guess it's not that simple. People's reaction are varied, this tweet actually resonates with people's beliefs much more strongly than what you might expect. For a lot of people, medicine that you need to continue livi

Kind of a bad article. It's basically writing up a tweet but it doesn't really add any information. Like, how is Musk expecting for the situation to not go back to what it was with the impersonation? Is adding the "official&q

Okay? Didn't we just see the irresponsible usage of it lead to massive stock devaluations in a few days? Or you think damages worth 20B (half of twitter's valuation, btw) are a funny joke? It's clear the influence of the plat

I'm pretty sure the whole point of the policy (looking at what Elon Musk had been tweeting) was to "democratize" the feature. Why would anyone pay for a "verification that you can pay for" if it was anything other t

You'll take the mine because you don't live near the mine. I think what the parent comment was really hinting at is the need to move towards a less car-dependent life. Of course, electrification is important, but it's not env

There was an interview, I think it might have been the financial times or maybe the new york times; but a big, respectable media outlet. In this article Elon Musk took the journalist to a nice mexican restaurant and they discussed all sorts

You can also do spaces and other punctuation which actually gives you access to full communication through morse code!

Pretty sure this is going to be investigated by the SEC. It's pretty insane though, though pretty much everyone I saw commenting on this twitter blue issue thought of impersonation as the first thing that would happen when you gave p

Governance is the only aspect of web3/blockchain that I find actually interesting. Though good governance tends to lead to democratic structures and democratic structures lead to more egalitarian distributions... which I don't thi

Very good comment, just felt the need to point out that the rampant money printing has in fact affected inflation. The inflation rates of the USA are very high but the world's reliance on the US dollar has made the scenario worse for

Four months salary as severance seems like a really good deal to me. I don't think it will be difficult for anyone with Facebook in their resume to be re-hired. Although losing your job is difficult, it seems to me like I would much ra

There are some fundamental pieces missing in AI art generation that when solved will completely change the game. Forever. I think most fundamentally is the capability for AI to have some kind of memory or maybe more technically a way for th

Very much this. Once the method has been proven then all you can change is flavor. It is very much clear that this kind of entertainment is very addictive and if done well it can get people to sink hours and hours into it.

Now a days the first place I look for software is f-droid. Sometimes it doesn't have exactly what I need, but really, more often than not it has applications that are more than good enough for what I'm looking for. And the biggest

If the American government bans Tiktok there could be a real possibility of Vine taking over that market. People are not going to go to Youtube Shorts, people are not going to go to Instagram Reels. People will go to vine though because it&

I'm sorry but there is no way people will go to vine now that Tiktok is a thing.

I think it goes in full effect in 2023. They haven't really defined, legally, which companies are the ones that will have to comply. Of course Apple is one of them but they won't say "hey it's us" until the European

I imagine you've never really engaged in political philosophy very thoroughly? Much like any political system you can imagine, a democratic system requires a complex web of rules and regulations to function properly. For one, so-called

I think we ought to think about these things maybe in a bit of a different perspective. Why do you think someone would want to be lazy and unmotivated? Wouldn't people prefer to simply be able to accomplish things, being lazy and being
