It's pretty obvious none of these people care about anything other than money, power, and their personal amusement. Jack is right, Twitter needs to be a protocol. It's a mess because it is centralized and there are private and sta

I explained what happens at a level of abstraction that makes sense for what was being asked. If you want more details then get in touch with a real biologist or geneticist. I'm not the person to answer your questions.

I don't know what "Justin rhetoric" is but if you want more accurate information then you won't find it in the usual places. Wikipedia articles are usually a good starting point for most things because they contain a lis

The questions you're asking are not really coherent. mRNA vaccines are pretty well understood. The vaccine delivers a payload to your own cells which cause them to produce viral proteins. These proteins in turn cause an immune response

What's obvious here is that these people are drunk with power. Most of the conversations revolve around social engineering or extracting as much money as possible from Twitter. Paints a really bleak picture of everyone involved. The on

Certainly but I have a question for you as well. What organization do you donate money to and is Amnesty International among them [1]? 1: https://www.amnesty.org/en/donate/ .

That's incredibly naive.

That's not their problem. Their problem is an oppressive government and people who can't get organized enough to make a difference, very similar to the US. No one outside of Iran can solve their problems for them, just like no one

There isn't. No one on HN has any influence over Iranian happenings.

There is nothing anyone here can do about the situation.

I'm sure he can keep firing people and just keep the platform on life support but that's the same as admitting Twitter is going the way of Digg and all other social networks that tried to execute a pivot. The people that think he&

I don't think ad-tech is going away anytime soon. It would be nice but it's not gonna happen because the fundamental problem is not the ads but the fact that most social networks are not sustainable without advertising so the plat

I'm pretty certain that Twitter's code is essentially append-only. It's possible to add new features and keep the old stuff running but there is no way to re-architect it to reduce costs. They are already compressing the data

You should sit down and perform the storage calculation instead of struggling to find something correct in what I said because that will be a better use of your limited time.

Elon used to be a software engineer so it's kinda weird how he thinks a legacy codebase like Twitter can be fixed up to use $1B less every year. Twitter is limited mainly by storage, their compute costs are negligible in comparison. So

Most of the people on the platform are addicts so they're not gonna leave. Your favorite forum is going to be safe.

Telling people to think is only a personal attack if they prefer not to.

You probably should spend some more time thinking about how that all fits together because saying that the bank creates money from interest rates means that the central bank sets the rate according to what economic growth they're expec

Have you personally done any work to increase the planet's carrying capacity? More specifically, what is its current capacity and how is it calculated? Seems like you would know this based on what you have stated.

How many jobs do you have? Like as a professional in some sector of the economy, how many sectors do you personally occupy? Are you a farmer that also writes iOS software? No, obviously not. Whatever job you do is fixed and it contributes a

What innovations are going to maintain infinite economic growth on a finite planet that is going to be 2C degrees warmer in the coming decades?

It means other parts of the economy must shrink. Population is no longer increasing which means every percentage of growth in one sector is offset by losses in another. There are only finitely many people and each person can only be in one

I'm agnostic to how exactly the biosphere is restored but I'm certain that it can not be done through market and capital dynamics no matter how clever or distributed the scheme. Money tends to cause ideological brain damage and th
