Media organizations will be networks rather than traditional companies, so let's build the networks we need • Prev @qz Sulia @HuffPost • [email protected]

How can journalism compete with the hegemonic platforms we’ve got? https://t.co/SOqsy3Y5q6

@swodinsky Thank you for the great work

The gov't doesn’t maintain a comprehensive public database of the mandatory financial disclosures of senior executive-branch officials. So, @WSJ built its own.

For months, we pored over 31k filings from 12k senior officials across 50 federal agencies.

Here’s what we found.

And we finalized!

Happy merge all. This is a big moment for the Ethereum ecosystem. Everyone who helped make the merge happen should feel very proud today.

@swodinsky Thank you for doing the work

Fossil fuel interests are now cynically using the war in Ukraine to try to lock in a high carbon future.

A shift to renewables is crucial to mending our broken global energy mix & offering hope to millions suffering climate impacts today.

[Josh Young @jny]

This is correct

Open sourcing the "the Twitter algorithm" doesn't make much sense when the platform is, in fact, a complex system of code and machine learning models that interact with human behavior in ways that can be mysterious even to Twitter. My latest for @WIRED: https://t.co/p2jTMCJBS5

@mathewi Yep that’s how it works till you get the boot, and that part is a bummer 🙃

[Josh Young @jny]

@mathewi This is the best financial analysis I’ve seen https://t.co/qubltrYRM0

@mathewi There is definitely a point to be made that Elon prolly won’t be too much worse than Jack

[Josh Young @jny]

@mathewi We’ve seen “I alone can fix this” before, but Jack loves it

[jack @jack]

In principle, I don’t believe anyone should own or run Twitter. It wants to be a public good at a protocol level, not a company. Solving for the problem of it being a company however, Elon is the singular solution I trust. I trust his mission to extend the light of consciousness.

[Josh Young @jny]

This is embarrassing

The sustainable alternative will fwiw be highly differentiated — including very different affordances and competitive strengths, not just a different tech stack

[Josh Young @jny]

Something like this has been inevitable for Twitter for a long time

It *is* a “free speech” product, in Elon’s sense

When the journalists remain addicted, pay attention

EXCLUSIVE: Twitter is nearing a deal to sell itself to Elon Musk for $54.20 per share in cash, the price that he originally offered to the social media company and called his 'best and final,’ people familiar with the matter say https://t.co/ZHeaXAICLy $TWTR

@mathewi I’m sorry to hear this. Get well!!

@owocki @niran I think the vision of digital communities as “easy to exit” is misleading. Yes, physical exit costs are lower. But network effects are higher. This leads to network dynamics based lock in without physical lock in. Huge econ literature on this but best book is

Just wrapped up a great visit to the New Lebanon Farmers Market. With volunteers, creativity, & federal funding, this market helps local farmers and producers connect with consumers & provides residents in New Lebanon a more accessible place to get fresh, nutritious food.

This is your regular reminder that when donald trump withheld military aid to Ukraine to extort President Zelenskyy, 99% of republicans in Congress turned their back on Ukraine and refused to remove trump from office.
