If we're being honest, Twitter is basically a machine that glorifies violence. It rewards it at the platform and algorithmic level.

An endless volume of tweets under every charged trending topic violates these rules, which are being surfaced and promoted by the platform. And it enables mob mentality like nothing we've seen before.

Moderation is mostly just theater, especially as long as the platform itself is quite literally encouraging the core behavior.

Fun idea. Or going even further, have them also take care of your throat, stomach, etc. Just constantly roaming around, maintaining things.

Supposedly being the key word. Those that get into power tend to only grow the size of government and debt.

Impossible to say really, since most will just come back later. Especially given that it'll likely be brief.

In any case, must be like a 5 alarm fire at Amazon right now!

Along these lines, CGP Grey's video about Anger Thought Germs is an excellent breakdown of why anger spreads like nothing else:

You combine that behavior with social media, especially Twitter, and the symbiotic relationship with the news media. It's a non-stop anger generation machine. Rapidly iterating on these thoughts, packaging and surfacing the most potent, viral version. Any nuance and context long ago removed.

Sorry to hear that. Please take care.

And that's an important point about regression. For me good habits tend to break after about 2 weeks of non-compliance. Then it often ends up being months or even years before getting back on track. At which point it's like starting over.

Is it any wonder so many have issues when they turn every little thing into an issue?

You can choose to be offended by this or choose to view it with a sense of humor. That choice is up to you.

Related, I think it'd be interesting to see a compilation of projected revenue from pitches vs actual.

Another way to look at this may be something like:

Odds of an adult knowing what's best for another adult: Low to Medium

Odds of an adult knowing what's best for a child: Medium to High

Yeah, was hoping to hear how he planned to address that (unless I missed it?).

It'd need to be indexed to something or have other hard controls to prevent that spiraling: "Vote for me, I'll increase it to $2k" "No, vote for me, I'll increase it to $3k!"

Andrew Yang had the right idea with the Freedom Dividend. That's a smart way to frame it, and Alaska is an example of it working with an annual payout to residents ("Permanent Fund Dividend").

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alaska_Permanent_Fund#Permanen...

Well, I think you can overdo it. Yang's proposal was $1k/mo, which seems more like the sweet spot.

It doesn't replace people making things, though. You'd still want to work and create value to improve your situation. It'd just function as a floor and provide some stability.

Bearing in mind the increasing rate of job destruction and creation. We're no longer in a world where you can rely on being able to have the same profession your whole life.

Having that floor would be useful to smooth those transitions out, and a boon to entrepreneurship if it's easier for people to take risks.

It'd be the most valuable pill ever created, by far. Literally everyone would benefit from it.

No, none of that. This is different.

Imagine a public town square. Would you want any company acting as the gatekeeper, deciding what speech is allowed or not in that setting?

YouTube, Twitter and a few others are effectively the new town square. I don't think we want to end up in a position where a few corporations are dictating acceptable speech and open debate.

It's not an issue if you happen to agree this time.

Next time you might not. And then it's too late, you've made your bed.

It's happening onMouseUp. Trying to copy the headline triggers that (after selecting the text), or simply clicking on it.

It seems the div has the same functionality as the X button. I assumed it was a mistake, but it's been so long now I wonder if it's intentional.

Worse, if you try to copy the headline (like say, for HN) it closes. It's been that way for months.

I'm surprised that pattern is still being used so much. I implemented it on a site once and regretted it. Went back to email only.

What happens with multiple login choices is people forget what service they used, or end up accidentally creating another account (if it couldn't be auto-linked), or delete their fb/twitter/whatever and then lose access to things they didn't intend. Or get banned and forcibly lose access.

It also means you're relying on more 3rd party dependencies. And having the overheard of managing those, keeping updated with API/policy changes.

It's one of those things that seems simpler at first, but ends up being more complicated on both sides.

Government overreach is dangerous too. His pushing back on this is appropriate.

Also worth noting that he got support from government officials, including the state governor.

I feel like that name is going to cause the kid a lot of headaches with web forms and applying for things.

Biology has become politicized like climate science did.

With each side discarding the inconvenient truths of science whenever it clashes with their tribal narrative. It's an absolute disaster.

Indeed, fast fashion is one of the most wasteful and polluting industries. It's weird how it gets a pass on that.

As for clothing and shoes that last, Patagonia is pretty good.

Yeah, and the two are linked. Seinfeld's focus on the process and craft meant he got exceptionally good at it. The money was a byproduct, not the goal. The motivation was intrinsic and about improving his craft. To which there is no end. So he continues.

This discussion with Seinfeld, Chris Rock, Louis CK and Ricky Gervais is worth watching for anyone interested in that aspect of comedy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OKY6BGcx37k

Are you the spokesperson for actual buddhists?

Philosophy is great, but it's not something you need to go into debt for. Did you learn anything in those classes that you couldn't have learned on your own via books and free lectures on YouTube, etc?

> Will Elon stop with tweets that hurt Tesla? Appoint a CEO, or COO to run things

People have been saying that for years and years. It's beyond stale. Meanwhile Tesla and SpaceX have continued to succeed beyond expectations for over a decade now. If there's occasional twitter volatility in-between simultaneously landing two rockets returning from space... so be it.

Besides, if it bothers you that much, you don't have to buy their cars or invest or even pay attention to it. The constant handwringing, mind reading and speech policing is ridiculous. That's how we end up with nothing but layers upon layers of focus tested marketing speak and people afraid to challenge orthodoxy.
