@status_is_down yup

@markpinc @mcuban @elonmusk You know what would be cool? If Elon and the X team recorded and live-streamed all of their internal X team meetings about content moderation decisions and rules (along with open-sourcing the code). A-la-twitch.

How wrong is this?
Tesla Powerwall 13kWh battery = $10k ($800/kWh).
Tesla Model 3 (w/ 80kWh battery) = $40k ($500/kWh) + you get a FREE car.
If you value the shell of Model3 car at $25k, then M3 battery price = $187/kWh.
Energy markets are so inefficient - is an understatement.

Did you know the California Public Utilities Commission is about to block Solar Energy for 45% of Californians?

What do you think the orcas are trying to tell us?

The most entertaining outcome (as if we were in a movie) is the most likely

@petitpmd @Twitter Got my reply within the app last week. They are shutting it down on 18 January 2023. I guess I should be happy that they gave us a month's notice. Elon, you owe me one. I was super happy with Revue. And in a month it will be gone... Someone should replicate it...

[Kerim Baran @kbaran]

#TwitterWrite team - Is it true that Revue will be shut down on Dec 31st?

Sent a msg to Revue's chatbot 2 weeks ago. Still no reply.

Is it me... or is it really that difficult to find a replay of the content that was playing on NPR (Hidden Brain) several hours ago earlier today?

[Kerim Baran @kbaran]

@dannyksfun Very cool, Danny! We talked about Australia being at ~25% home solar penetration (vs ~2% for US) yesterday on the "Playing with Unicorns" show. https://t.co/bbEBj3gauh What are the drivers for that high % penetration do you think? Do you agree with my comments?

[Kerim Baran @kbaran]

My friend @fabricegrinda and I talked about the State of Solar Energy today.

@chamath And the root cause for both is the same: Unconscious power, aka not knowing the purpose of our power.

[Kerim Baran @kbaran]

@avc IMHO, this is not only abt Apple & Google. It is also Visa & Mastercard and all the banks... V and MC hold just as much power. Reminds me of the dynamic between Car co's and Oil co's and the movie: Who killed the electric car? I am sure Brian A. understands all this very well :-)

School, politics, sports, and games train us to compete against others. True rewards - wealth, knowledge, love, fitness, and equanimity - come from ignoring others and improving ourselves.
