I thought Chinese electric car are selling way more than Tesla around the world.

Do you have some source here to provide for the curious?

NYTimes has a paywall. Is that public internet and therefore fair use?

They don't have the paywall up if you identify as a search engine scraper, so it is kinda public internet. (I'm not claiming it's fair use.)

not mentioned in the post was UCC solved the separation of milk and coffee issue. any resource on this?

They solved the separation issue by homogenizing the milk: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homogenization_(chemistry)

I know a bunch of people who love their foldables.

I guarantee you though that Apple will "invent" a foldable phone in a few years and you'll use a different Steve Jobs quote to shower praises on Apple.

I see a lot more hate, election-denying, conspiracy, racist, sexist tweets.

I guess, for some people, this is an achievement.

Funny, I don't see any such tweets. Literally zero. Perhaps you're following the wrong accounts?

Like when Elon started taking down a ton of posts at the behest of the Indian and Turkish governments? Or when he said "comedy is now legal on Twitter" and then suspended parody accounts? Or when he suspended accounts that tweeted public information for "doxxing" and then asked his 100m+ followers to identify someone in a video? Or when he banned people for posting links to competing social networks? Or when he made searches for "substack" return results for "newsletter"?

It's exhausting to have to reiterate this constantly growing list every time this comes up. Free speech doesn't have to exist on private platforms and that's okay! We can stop pretending he cares about it!

So your concern is not freedom of speech, it's that the speech is being regulated in a way you don't want?

I don’t really have a concern. I’m just telling you that whatever’s happening over at Twitter? It’s not freedom of speech.

Talking over other people and being throttled down is not censorship. Being talked over, is censorship.

Trolls don't have to be right, just louder. Their goal (from my perspective) is to pollute the information space. With large enough volume and noise, this seeks to invalidate all information. "If you can't be right, at least the other person won't be heard"

I suppose if that's the kind of thing you go looking for it's what you will see. I actually see a lot less hate on Twitter. I struggle to see how there could be more than there was in its prime, since that was most of the content.

It does have a lot less technical content now though, and that has decreased its value for me.

The "prioritize bluetick replies" has really benefited a lot of the nastier reply guys who show up to put hate under certain topics.

Timing is also not great IMO.

We're just getting out of the pandemic and people are excited to be outdoors.

I wouldn't want to spend time in the Metaverse after all the lockdowns and travel restriction during the pandemic.

I left in 2017 after having to spent over 10 years in the Bay Area.

It was bad then and pandemic made it worse.

So many closed shops on Market St/Union Square area.

Walk a few blocks West and Tenderloin looks like doomsday. Lines for soup kitchens, tents, drugged-up and mentally-ill people walking like Zombies.

If I remember correctly, Bob Lee worked on the Google Android team too.

Yes. He wrote big chunks of the original Davlik libs.

The author was making comparisons to previous activity from Twitter employees not to other normal corporations.

So you boil water, add coconut oil then add rice.

How would this work in a rice cooker?

The important part is probably not the coconut oil, but the cooling in the fridge after cooking.

I'd probably juat add the oil to the rinsed rice before dumping it into the pot.
