I dig for interesting numbers and facts and tweet about them.

Is it possible to have in-depth discussions on Twitter?

Let's find out.

Alphabet’s cloud revenue over the last five years, according to Perplexity. I checked some values manually, and they seem to be correct.

That’s a growth of roughly 30% per year.

If it continues at this pace, it would reach $1 trillion in annual cloud revenue in about 10 years.

@nebiusai I would try it, but you don't offer any way to sign up via email.

Also, your X account is set up to not let anyone message you unless they are a paying X user.

@p0sitron Maybe the market has doubts whether those coins really exist? How is the amount of Bitcoin under Bitcoin Group's control audited?

@jamesdouma There are 250k taxi drivers in the US. A taxi driver earns $34k. So to earn $50k, a robotaxi would have to earn about as much per hour as a taxi driver.

But won't adding 1M robotaxis - and therefore quadrupling the supply - bring the prices down?

@l__c__m @OpenSuperchain In which sense is it off chain?

The ultimate source of truth is always off chain, isn't it? In the end, it depends on which software users run.

One example is the Ethereum DAO fork.

Value was moved around not by "code is law" but by people starting to use different software.

@AntoineMinoux But the GDPR is about personal data, not about cookies. And courts have deemed even the most basic type of data (the IP address of a user) as personal data.

Are you sure you don't have to inform the user that their IP will be sent to Google via the YouTube iframe?

@aarnetalman Suggestions to reach the right demographic:

- Put your model on Hugging Face
- Offer an API
- Social media posts with examples how it performs
- Open your DMs

@levelsio @Wise All that trouble just to send and receive payments.

Will crypto solve all these problems?

Buyers could send their small payments directly via lightning. Sellers could let it just sit in their wallet or convert to fiat and move it to a bank from time to time.

@MarginaliaNu Why a PI? Is that the best way to run an always-on computer at home?

@marekgibney Holy cow, 48% search engine traffic. Yeah, now that I think about it - many people use "site:reddit" when searching something on google.

That means the strike is already a big problem for Reddit. As a large share of those 48% of visitors are now only seeing "Sorry, private".

@marekgibney There are possibly more dangerous issues with this than looking at the docs. That is not such a common action in a 3rd party repo I think. What else comes to mind? "python3 -m http.server" when serving 3rd party files?

@photomatt @tumblr @bluesky Why does everybody say "Mastodon" when they mean ActivityPub?

That's like saying "Chrome" when you mean the world wide web.

@hifeedlobreed @paulg The remaining 4 million users could be an interesting bunch to hang out with.
