Firing people at a private company is not anything near the same thing as censoring someone on what is said to be run a public square; and for example if he wants to allow Trump on, ideally with conditions or full-time oversight, if Twitter

A possibility doesn't mean it's going to happen - and baseless fear mongering at this point. And I don't have the feeling he'd do such a thing - he's very empathetic and would understand the harm/violence that

Are you sure about that? I think you may be conflating people with artificial power and those with genuine power. You realize people have tried that before as well, e.g. Parler, Gab, Truth Social, etc? You're likely right to some degre

You seem to have a misconception, or lacking conception, of how companies are built and operate: it's a series of small decisions, like attracting and then hiring amazing, competent, and passionate people to do tasks that the company r

And what do you base that off of? He seems to do quite well once he puts his focus on a problem, even if that's due to the people he ultimately decides to hire/fire.

Managing or controlling a private organization is a very different thing than a public square.

There's a pretty high payout rate.

That's a very difficult thing to moderate, to manage, and from personal experience Twitter doesn't even enforce their existing rules accurately. For example, will posts denying the hysteria of climate change - let's say the i

Great point, it really does help frame the context: "you're local first but you allow A, B, and C - so you must allow/have X, Y, Z functionality." The term "decentralized" has also been sullied a bit lately wit

This 200k subscribers number is missing the elephant in the room. They expected 2.5 million new subscribers. They didn't get those 2.5 million new subscribers and actually lost 200k, so they're technically -2.7 million subscribers

While trying to not regularly call the majority of cryptocurrencies (the term currency misappropriated) an MLM-Ponzi scheme, I've started to realize that an easier or perhaps better way to state the problem with them is to use one of t

Yeah, good points to consider. I think the sites that would be scrapped the most would be where the data is regularly and reliably up-to-date, and a large volume of it at that - so not just one scraper but many different parties may on a da

Do you know if there's a way to rate limit logged-in users differently than visitors of a site?

I'm not saying it shouldn't be an option but we should be conscious of who we give that login data to and how they're use/benefit from it and then misuse or waste the value they extract from it; be conscious of who we re

Hey there. I didn't mean to insinuate that your intent was to do so - but I suppose the caution is to perhaps take that signal (# of signups) with at least a bit of a grain of salt; you likewise, as other commenters stated, could be tu

I see it as more of providing a false signal of adoption or success: if people need the friction to be as little as clicking a single button to "sign up" then they're not very convinced or committed to trying something new an

Elon said he'd keep as many shareholders as he's legally allowed to.

Indeed, what happens when Elon starts his own platform instead and uses some of the ~$40 billion he'd otherwise buy Twitter with instead on paying top users of Twitter to exclusively use his platform instead?

All of the science and math behind the algorithms are available - you can recreate it yourself, but like most things it's easier to buy what someone else has already put the work in. I'd recommend getting and reading the book to b

Berard Auditory Integration Training and the Tomatis Method are also worth looking into depending on what's going on; a book called "Hearing Equals Behaviour: Updated and Expanded" goes into detail on the above treatments.

Now that's proof of intent? Your logic seems to be that if someone imagines a crime occurring that they've actually committed that crime?
