The state can give out rent vouchers and loosen restrictions on building if they want affordable housing This is literally what the state is doing. They're loosening restrictions if you build affordable housing. They're not lo

This is ridiculous. 1. The jet’s location is publicly available by law. 2. No one knows who’s in “Elons jet”. If Elon wants to travel private without anyone knowing he is he can simply charter a jet. This is what most celebrities do.

This reminds me of Blackberry saying “enterprise users need a real keyboard” when the iPhone was launched. Which isn’t to say you’re wrong, a driving experience isn’t the same, but I’m sure that experience was the guiding principle behind T

From my read of the “Twitter Files” I hey have multiple levels of ways to reduce a tweets reach. Not allowing a tweet to trend, not show up in Search etc. I believe the “heavy” part refers to how many, and how hard these levers are pulled

The interest on the loan is $1B a year. Twitter’s revenue in 2021 was $6B. Can he pay the interest back? Sure. Is he going to have 1B in liquid capital every year? Harder. Does he ever recoup the cost of buying Twitter at that rate? outl

So SF is interesting, I grew up here. In the early days of the internet I always considered the oracle buildings the northern edge of SV. Took a developer job at TechTV in SF in 99 when SOMA was known as “multimedia gulch” and had a reverse

Not sure what you read there but the roughly $500B figure is a real loss in the commercial real-estate sector as leases some off the books. It’s a slow burn. There’s an additional expense to try to repurpose these building as residential bu

Inherent is a bit loaded of a term. Going public via a SPAC isn’t inherently bad. But it allows companies to go public without normal disclosures allowing investors the ability to do “normal” diligence. That seems, inherently, to be a looph

My Volvo has had this happen. I have no idea if it still pings anything but the app access has been shut down. Annoyingly every so often the car gives me a warning that the Volvo service has expired. I’d love to turn that off. But it must s

The trouble with Mastodon that I’ve seen (on Twitter) is folks are a bit confused with its federated nature. They’re not sure which server to use nor the “rules” governing that server. Mastodon is really better suited as a collection of sm

I didn’t even know he circled around back to the topic. I split when I got to “TREES!” and wondering “that’s it?” After this comment I went back to read the rest.

As much as twitter, Reddit and Facebook don’t like to admit it, it seems all would tell you that “spirited debate” drives significant engagement and traffic. God knows I’m guilty of it. I’ve seen “thoughtful” conversation platforms succeed

I agree with a lot of what you say, but in this hypothetical I'm envisioning this a bit differently then a completely new social network so much as Twitter 2.0 with a very direct focus on getting a large "Lift and Shift" of u

If these numbers are right and they're laying off 50% the workforce, half of me wonders how much Parag could raise to build a new Twitter from scratch and just hire 500 - 1000 talented folks off the street for the venture, I mean if T

I think TikTok will likely have to rework their method for paying creators. But they have a platform that’s made for creators to work directly with advertisers who will see more revenues that way. That’s why I said there’s a lot they have t

For example you have a button that you want to add a hover effect to. So it's got "onMouseEnter" and "onMouseLeave" handlers that sets a "hovered" state variable to true/false. If you have that funct
