I see that now, thanks!

I've been using Freedom for this for some time. I would recommend using these tools. When you site down and want to get something done you just block out a few hours where you can't access the sites that distract you. It is really

The same way you deal with failure in software. See it as a possible path and plan accordingly. Some can risk everything, I can't. But there are somethings that I can. What happens if you get this wrong? You have to call in a builder t

I suspect the answer could be yes and still be what Elon wants. Elon does something spectacularly unpopular then throws this poll up. While I don't think this is 4d chess I think this might be on purpose. I suspect he wants out and to

Perhaps that is his current plan https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1604617643973124097?cxt=...

That is not the case. In the past we've made huge improvements to human efficiency in terms of resource usage and waste output. We still can and will. Unless we destroy the economy before we can develop the required technology.

That is insane. They have jumped the shark on this one. My prediction is that they will reverse many of these policies but the damage is done. Banning controversial figures will always stir people in different directions. Banning PG when he

I'm really not trying to say anything positive about him. I'm guessing there are things I don't know and I would like to understand them.

Is there anything about this comment that is attracting the down votes? I would like to avoid future mistakes.

Hi jacquesm, I noticed that you have both a strong background in business and a negative opinion of Elon Musk. As someone who is interested in understanding different perspectives, I would love to hear more about your thoughts on this topic

I'm impressed that one of your tweets could generate almost 600 comments in 1 hour. This should be an interesting stress test of HN. Often when something generates this level of interaction performance suffers.

He waited for evidence. I think PG made a good call. Based on the weight of Elon's past achievements PG gave him the benefit of the doubt. Then when Elon overstepped he reacted appropriately.

You are right, I'm taking him at his word. I'm not sure how they can prove much here. All I've seen is an activist in the space supporting him. Specifically https://twitter.com/elizableu I could be wrong.

by xupybd 4y ago
Oof, that's a bit rough of you.

Yes, I had hoped that was evident in my post. If he had not done that I would not have had anything good to say about his work at Twitter so far.

I was excited to see his pro free speech approach and this ban wave disappoints me. I'm actually okay with bans, suspensions and all the rest. But only if there is the following - A redemptive path back - Due process - Transp

The only way you will get change at scale before disaster is to help people keep their lifestyle. Climate change is a fixable problem. It is not anywhere near the point that choices will be made for people in the next two to three decades.

Yeah but the site already existed. So it's a very cheap way to test the idea.

I had thought, and still suspect, that the Twitter purchase might be a vanity project for Musk. As such his motives are a little harder to reason about than pure profit. While it might not have public good as a goal, I think that having Mus

The claim is that they are releasing through journalists for now to stir up interest. I think it's a ploy to get people to jump on Twitter for their news. Elon said he will likely release all of the documents in time. I'm not sure

by xupybd 4y ago
Yeah, but they have to be open about present workings not just past workings. I'll give them time. If they can be clear and transparent about even this I'll be happy. Yeah Elon might be a dictator throwing his weight around (I pr

My hope was for a more transparent Twitter. I guess that's out the window too.

While I agree that the article doesn't do well to expose the reasons behind these bans. I think transparency and due process are the correct things to focus on. If we had both articles like this could not exist.

Yeah we are in e-commerce. We've never had PayPal. I don't think many of our customers would know the difference. To them it's just a place to put some credit card details. We're looking at moving to a much cheaper local
