He wanted to control the conversation by... buying twitter and removing nearly all existing controls of conversation? How quickly we forget how censored twitter was before he bought it

I think the metaphor is less about what you sell and more about the bullshit your customers have to endure to use the product you provide

I don't think this is helpful to bots tbh. For over a decade every time I come across a clear bot account their comment history seems very human. I assume they're either buying real accounts for one-off astroturfing hit and runs i

Unfortunately unless you also ban it in comments, people with an axe to grind will find a way to bring it up in the most inappropriate places. Casual swipes at Elon and Trump and Biden or AOC (depending on your corner of the internet) will

They factually already have a legal requirement to keep every single chat so it's pretty misleading to say they're hard deleted when they never are

I have the sneaking suspicion that reddit has allowed and facilitated astroturfing for over a decade. As in, providing accounts, eliminating rate limits, artificially boosting posts and comments, and aggressively shadow banned contrary opin

I think he meant physically mature. Like the brain is more well developed. As a former gifted child who was emotionally immature and gifted, I hope your kid gets the guidance I never did both to understand his adhd and how it impacts him, b

I'm not supporter of capitalism, but what Elon is doing is the same as any other business or capitalist participant. He is seeing current demand and anticipating future demand and building systems to meet that demand. I have no desire

We have 15,000 satellites in orbit that are almost literally the exact same premise currently being proposed - a computer with solar panels attached. We've being doing exactly this for decades.

The problem Elon is trying to address is a societal one, not a technical one. The amount of push back on clean energy generation and manufacturing prevents data centers on earth from being as feasible as they should be. He only got his newl

I'm strongly against CSAM but I will say this analogy doesn't quite hold (though the values behind it does) Libel must be as assertion that is not true. Photoshopping or AIing someone isn't an assertion of something untrue. I

I did this about a dozen times until I had too many TSA agents become extremely shitty and hostile towards me. The last two times they were making threats as I was walking away that they were going to "get me". I decided my protes

It takes extremely little to get the ability to flag content on HN accounts. It's not a subset, it's most anyone who contributes basically at all

What evidence do you have of Tesla performing poorly as a whole compared to others in the space, and/or Elon not successfully growing the company at reasonable rates?

It's because people have a bone to pick and aren't actually invested in the car industry

Strongly disagree. I find the materials in Teslas to be perfectly fine, and the aesthetic itself is basically unsurpassed, but I'm a big fan of minimalism and hate the 8 million buttons and dials some cars have, which I think is really

This isn't correct. It is infringement, for example, to write Harry Potter fan fiction in private on a typewriter, even if another soul never sees it. Copyright includes creation, not just distribution

I wish it touched on its approach to very common finger printing data. Does it send browser window size? Your time zone? Your OS? The languages you've previously chosen to translate? Unless it meaningfully closes the loop on not sendin

They literally autonomously drive through a Boring tunnel when they leave the manufacturing plant to park in a parking lot. I have no idea why you're stating they can't.
