@jbecompslns @crypto1nfern0 They were successful. UTC is abandoning its coordination (that's the C in UTC), in order to make things easier on ignorant devs.

Of course, this is storing up a massive problem for later, but today's devs don't have to fix it so they have no reason to care.

[HP1741A @HP1741A]

@jbecompslns @crypto1nfern0 The smartest devs used TAI, because they were aware of the shortcomings of UTC.

Most devs weren't that smart, used UTC, and found out the hard way why they shouldn't. Then they whined and whined that UTC should be forced to conform to their faulty expectations.

@AdamSinger @bobsmithreal123 @Carnage4Life About 1/3 of ads I see on YouTube are unskippable.

I would pay for premium, but too many videos have ads embedded by the creators. YouTube needs to do something to fix it - for example, demonetizing all videos with embedded ads, sponsorships, or promotional consideration.

@CosmoCrixter @Mindshard1 @ahcastor As part of your "good faith effort", can you name one single individual fact that is incorrect in her article?

Not a huge wall of links to other people's writing.

Just one single fact that you personally identified as incorrect.

@maskdmirag @SusanGroff1 @AggroWill @dmalcolmcarson @CTMQ @ScottAdamsSays I also seem to recall him telling the story quite differently in one of his earlier books. Pretty sure it was either "The Dilbert Principle" or "The Dilbert Future", but don't have a copy to check.

@Ze_Highlander @punished_cait I'm genuinely surprised it isn't crypto - I guess even Musk knows that dog won't hunt.

[HP1741A @HP1741A]

@teen_headache @PotatoeViking @punished_cait The problem is that it's done for profit.

If you "give away money" but end up with more money than you started with, that's not generosity.

@hill_cave @TheJonJuan @justinboldaji Admiral Motti files an HR complaint against Vader, arguing that:

- The dispute between them was mostly if not entirely Vader's fault.

- Even if Motti had been entirely at fault, that would not give Vader the right to assault Motti.

@ejwwest @Otto_English Anthony Eden is quite poorly thought of apparently, although as I'm not much of a student of history (nor British), I can't readily compare him to recent Prime Ministers.

@sosofly403 @divergencearran @kevinrose It's not because he's a millionaire, it's because he has an audience.

Make an influencer whole, their audience brings in new money to pump the prices and provide exit liquidity, net gain to the whales.

Make an ordinary person whole, net loss to the whales.

@Swordverse @BennettTomlin @adanthar Do Kwon is a fugitive - he has warrants out for his arrest and his passport was revoked. His current location is unknown.

Kyle Davies and Su Zhu? Also fugitives, locations unknown.

Alex Mashinsky? No charges yet. (Can't charge until ready to "prove beyond a reasonable doubt".)

[HP1741A @HP1741A]

@Stephen50000766 @BennettTomlin Sam Bankman-Fried? He was charged a week ago. That's why Bahamas arrested him - they have extradition with the US. He gave up opposing extradition and he's been transported to the US.

AFAIK he hasn't pled, but I think his return to USA is why the other pleas were announced.

@BranMacMuffin @sarah_edo Recently it's become dismissable for me. So it might be fixed?

(Or possibly the system just figured out all the browsers I use and now associates all the activity with me whether I'm logged in or not.)

[HP1741A @HP1741A]

@b_e_n_t_e_n @acknetz @EgyWanderer56 @Carnage4Life Of course not.

The only ones who should be considered egotistical are those who ignored accurate prior warnings from experts.

The only ones who should be considered naive and inexperienced are those who failed to foresee problems widely foreseen by those more experienced.

@LMastro99 @SamaHeath @nandoodles My first experience of Google Plus was when it deliberately broke functions on other Google products. Therefore, that remains my only experience of Google Plus.

So another good lesson for product developers is: extortion doesn't build loyalty.

@AcausalG Didn't Cantor prove that all rational numbers are not probabilities?

@bsdimp @keef @d_feldman This attitude and Netflix's conflicts of interest are why their browsing & search UI are garbage.

I don't want "Netflix Originals" constantly shoved in my face.

I'm not interested in what Netflix thinks I should have searched for, only what I did search for.

I know not with what language Twitter 2.0 will be coded, but Twitter 3.0 will be coded with sticks and stones.

@KinesisThesis @coffeebreak_YT Celsius said tradfi was cheating. Celsius said Celsius would pay higher returns with zero risk.

Results are well known.

Kinesis says tradfi is cheating. Kinesis says Kinesis will pay higher returns with zero risk.

Results will be ... ?
