Assuming @elonmusk is correct i.e., if money won’t matter in 10 years, how should that influence the average person’s actions now?

[The Economist @TheEconomist]

“Money won’t matter in 2036,” claims @elonmusk on the latest episode of The Insider. He tells @zannymb, The Economist’s editor-in-chief, how people will live when AI and robots can do every job and why he expects deflation, not inflation: https://t.co/IQwRnHXAXM

@mcuban @elonmusk @Google The X algo is open source and shows no evidence of politically biased manipulation.

[Louis @louisboyce_]

Personally, I would accept a lower % initial one-off pay offer, in exchange for guaranteed regular, inflation-linked pay reviews going forward.

[Louis @louisboyce_]

This offer does not address the root of the problem.

No provisions made for regular, inflation-linked pay reviews going forward.

In 5-10 years time, this will once again be an issue.

Your dedication to pay restoration has paid off. We have successfully negotiated an offer with the Government that we believe is credible enough for you to have your say.

The Boring Company will IPO by 2028 and reach a $1 Trillion market cap by 2030.

It will have over 10,000 miles of tunnel by 2030, solving traffic problems in many cities and generating insane revenue. Its growth rate will still be rising.

By 2035 Boring will have over 100,000 miles of tunnel. By 2040 Boring tunnels will connect North America to Asia via the Bering Strait, replacing all cargo shipping and air travel across the Pacific.

"Prufrock is a next generation Tunnel Boring Machine designed to construct mega-infrastructure projects in a matter of weeks instead of years, and at a fraction of the cost.

The current iteration of Prufrock, called Prufrock-2, is designed to mine at up to 1 mile/week, meaning a tunnel the length of the Las Vegas strip (approximately 4 miles) can be completed in a month.

Prufrock-3 is designed to be even faster, with the medium term goal of 1/10 human walking speed, or 7 miles/day.

In the short term, if each Prufrock-2 mines at 1 mile/week, and TBC produces 1 new Prufrock machine per month, then TBC will be introducing 600 miles/year of capacity.

As a point of reference, less than 20 miles of underground subway tunnel has been constructed in the United States in the last 20 years."

@nntaleb Also modéré means moderate, moyen mean medium (sort of)

[Louis @louisboyce_]

@nntaleb Modéré is a synonym of moyen.

Mild in French is léger.

BREAKING: Journalist Emma-Jo Morris (@EmmaJoNYC), who broke the Hunter Biden laptop story for @NYPost but was immediately censored by the state on social media in an attempt to influence the 2020 election, just delivered a mind-boggling testimony on the extent of censorship in America. She is now a politics editor @BreitbartNews. WATCH

[The Sicilian Irish Robot @misteryrobozo]

Some people asked me to share what I just shared in a space about the rate limits. I don't work for Twitter but, I do architect IT cloud solutions as my day job.

It is temporary. Twitter's rate limiting is not what everyone is thinking it is. It is not to punish non-paying users.

"Data scraping" is a big deal. This is where automated systems load the website or app and pull your tweets/data. It's a huge security issue. Automated systems are pulling every tweet/word/user account information to store in an unknown database somewhere else.

This could be state actors like China, the US Government, Australia, or other bad political actors like PAC's that are trying to gain access to everyone's information to analyze and use for nefarious things. Manipulating what is said on the site can be done at scale with data scrapping.

It could also be used to figure out the identity of Anons or to punish people in their country for what they tweet. Looking at you #Australia and #Canada and #UnitedKingdom

The temporary measures of limiting tweets is to protect users just as much as it is to protect the entire Twitter network from going down. They are currently scrambling to get ahead of this and tune their network security to block it from happening again.

It's also important to note that twitter has 500,000+ servers. That's not free. In cloud data centers, the companies that use them have to pay for what is called "ingress and egress" of data going "in and out" of the servers. A data scrapping event that is large enough for them to start limiting means that it was a MASSIVE event that could be considered an attack on the site. It would also put massive load on their servers and cost them so much money it could threaten the site's financial ability to keep running. It could be on purpose to put twitter out of business from cost alone.

Many people are misunderstanding why @elonmusk wants people to pay for twitter or for the twitter API (a programming interface that can pull data for other sites and apps).

The reason he wants people to pay is because if China or porn companies want to create massive bot farms of fake accounts, it is currently free. These bad actors are highly skilled and operate like a business. They have professional staff that continuously change their tactics and Twitter engineers have to fight 24/7 to stay ahead of them. If they have to pay for every account or pay to use the API, it would cost them A LOT of money. This limits the amount of people who could create bots, put automated porn on here, and the hacking/scrapping/DDOS attacks on the site. It protects you.

It also guarantees twitter will continue to exist without bloating it with tons of ads. This is all a part of the plan to create a free-speech place we can enjoy without being controlled by outside actors or advertising companies. I know $8 is a lot to some people but, it is for many reasons. None of the reasons are to hurt or punish people.
