Are we brainwashed yet? Absolutely.

At the beginning he states:

"Before I start, one note: All charts in this thread are for applications that were “certified” (in other words, (approved for entry into the H-1B lottery)."

It's up to the reader to keep this in mind. So maybe not deliberately misleading - but many of X will read with bias due to the nature of Elon's "Town Square".

Whatever is going on, I bet you can assume 50% of this is just bored people who overspent on an overpriced drone that's sat in the cupboard for a year who are happy to have and excuse to dust it off for some trolling.

Any articles or blog posts about the digg reboot?

I notice a lot of tabloid news websites surface negative local content from across the globe. They make headlines out of "YOUNG/OLD PERSON ASSAULTED IN RISING TENSIONS" and it takes a few paragraphs for me to realise it's in a different country. Every societal imbalance is being trumpeted into every suburb, until it becomes a reality there.

Any thoughts on hosting?

I'm attracted to JS+Cloudflare because hosting seems predictable and reasonably priced.

Do people have good recommendations / experiences with hosting?

Still time to prevent this. Fingers crossed.

Wait, has Apple ever exposed an end-point like this?

Do we know how they'd react if they ever did?

Most "Critical" thing is: you buy a new router that is not from Duh-Link.

Sample size: 1.

Strangely, the same people who call newspapers "legacy" are all over Twitter calling WP a failure and that people need to cancel their subscriptions.

There's a trend among Tech Oligarchs to diminish the role of journalism. Seems to be all about getting slices of government contracts, if not controlling them.

It's all about controlling money that might go to more honest ventures.

Yes, humanity has engineers who are going to the moon, creating robots, investigating brain interfaces, improving public transport with buses and tunnels.

And there will always be monorail salesmen who try to soak up those investments, taking away from others.

You can dislike it all you like but he's erasing himself via Xitter.

Doubtful it was Elon against hundreds of engineers diametrically opposed . He'd of surfaced it as a viable option, great.

Correct, and that's why NASA outsourced funding.

Because if NASA risked billions on "crazy ideas" they'd get shut down, being a government agency.

No point pretending it's all Elon.

The SpaceX engineers did a great job, as did NASA.

The media needs to stop blindly attributing this to "Elon Musk". He did well taking the risks NASA was not allowed to take at the start. But these days he is toxic to the media and toxic to reporting, so for that reason alone the media could smarted up a little. Well done SpaceX and NASA engineers.

"I guess we can haggle over the definition of robot"

You could also actually watch the event and listen to how Elon exaggerates his own definition of what was presented.

It's not repurposing favstar given favstar doesn't exist

favstar used the twitter api, but could not continue when that rug was pulled

I assume this service takes a more manual path. Probably deserves an income given the uncertainty and difficulty.

Exactly, and now the shine is gone, along with a timely 56 billion.

Hey you're right I updated the figure. It's better, but still ridiculous IMO. But people will justify it how they want.

Hey, he's in competition with his old mate Elon. Clearly this is what he's referencing.

Tesla has made about 34bn in income over the last 3 years, with stormy waters ahead, yet Elon pocketed himself 56bn under the guise of saving humanity, which is a "vibe" OpenAI also needlessly projects.

Well I've decided not to renew 1password. I have very basic use cases, and am happing to stay within Apple eco system. So, to me, 1password is just too much money.

Happened has you with Universal Control.

I'm ok with this. I'd rather they get the core right rather than scrambling to deliver all these nice-to-haves in time, and botching it up.

Yes but that's very hight level.

Democracy struggles on, and obviously existed before digital. Authorities have the right to enter the home of a suspected Russian or Chinese spy, or a pedophile, or a top level drug runner.

Access to digital traffic is something worth supporting when combined with the right to protest, for advocacy, and for checks and balances in warrants.

Australia isn't America.

Risk-wise, look at SpaceX

SpaceX did what NASA could not

If NASA failed so many times in the development of new rockets they would be cut down by opposition... but it was ok to send money to SpaceX and let them fail repeatedly until they got it "somewhat" right and burn through money.

It makes Elon look good, yet his success so far is still due to burning through tax dollars NASA was not allowed to iterate on using those methods.

This is one angle. But X is more a mouth piece for its ketamine soaked owner who has some pretty nasty views.

Plenty of places to share your view. At least, anyone can create a webpage.

By this logic China should be very, very loyal to Japan.

14 points but not many comments. Interesting times. Let's hope America can outlive the current chaos, and the tech world owns up to some of the rot that has set in - on our watch, and with our technology.

So immediately I am wondering what is the list of processes names are?

Lots of people on HN could easily spin up their own fake processes if they knew the names?
