That post really did bring the church ladies out. Puritanism runs deep.

It's actually scary how many people, even engineers, put their reputation on the line saying Twitter wouldn't survive the weekend. It wasn't just Twitter employees. It's like a mass psychosis of some kind. It comes off a

Nate is the same as he always was. It's just that other people have become more tribal and don't like when any of his output doesn't support their bias.

Most people don't like obnoxious hall monitors. You don't need to craft an entire custom narrative to explain that.

From your perspective it appears erratic because you don't have the same information.

Either destroy it or improve it in a materially important way. Nate Silver has a good observation on the latter, "Mastodon seems like a honeytrap for hall-monitor personality types. Honestly if Elon gets all the hall monitors to migrat

Uh, being able to change your mind and not limiting yourself to a pre-subscribed set of ideas is a good thing.

And why are they assuming they are H-1Bs in the first place, based on the photo? They can tell immigration status based on what exactly?

Right, they are known for changing the world.

That's not an acceptable explanation. They need to be assigned an acceptable one. As you can see, there are many volunteers assigning them.

How do you know?

Er. How many of them are H-1Bs?

See here's the problem. Getting distracted by the "spaceman bad" programming, while being robbed blind by media darlings like SBF. An actual fraud.

He's perceived as a traitor to the tribe, which is an unforgiveable offense. But he's not actually a member of any tribe.

They're not. They hitting record level DAUs. I'm leaving Twitter is the new I'm moving to Canada.

He's definitely not communicating the vision as well as he did with Tesla or SpaceX. That's a serious problem. But he has said the plan is to turn it into X, the everything app. Like WeChat.

Most people would reject it. That's understandable. John Carmack and George Hotz have a different perspective.

That's a thoughtful response, but I think you're being misguided by your kindness. I get it, I would vouch for the 90% in my workplace. This is why most of us could never be in the kind of position like Elon Musk, Bill Gates and S

Here's the best explanation I've seen. It's from https://twitter.com/oliverbcampbell/status/15934343291532451... I'm going to explain what Elon Musk is likely doing over there at Twitter. This

Yes, but it was the anointed few in control of Twitter before. Key difference.

It's about reoffense, so it's specific to the type. Elizabeth Holmes and SBF needed people to give them a lot of money. They won't be able to do that again without some serious redemption arc. Also their activity would be wat

Should either be in jail at all? They aren't a physical threat and anything Elizabeth does now will be watched like a hawk. Same with SBF. Just garnish their income for life or until they make their victims whole.

That's how I see it too. It'd be fun and it's a high alpha opportunity. It's like a startup that already has network effects.

Hopefully not. This would bring Twitter back to where it was, just swapping one bias for another.
