it might incentivize people to live at the office if they provided complimentary meals for the employees, i wonder if elon has ever thought of that

why pay for meals when you can just eat the corpse of the twitter employee in the coding hammock next to you?

I'm sure they've fully squared this with USA and EU financial regulatory bodies with months of review and oversight in preparation to ensure customer transactional data is secured and managed correctly.

And certainly not just farted out on a whim by Elon's now functionally-enslaved H-1B coders in his code mine.

Yeah *most* crunch cycles are limited time duration to push a product out the door, but with this bizarre add new features/delete features/refactor features/remove the new features thing they have going on at twitter this seems like it would just be an endless cycle and that is loving depressing.

The kind only the son of an apartheid emerald miner could think was a good way to treat those working for him.

I'm waiting for the reveal they're forbidden to leave Twitter premises if they're not meeting arbitrary code deadlines. Didn't make 400,000 lines of code this week? Sorry, you're not going home til they're done! Family? Twitter is your family, now take your weekly scrip of TwitCoin and stop complaining or you're fired and your visa's revoked.

They literally just launched a new feature “Twitter spaces” which was launched by a pop up stating “What the %#^# is that thing?!?! Let’s find out together.” So I still don’t know what it does since they were trying to be cute about it but it’s a strange time to downsize your features and say you’re focusing on improvements

Trying to be cute and coy about stupid poo poo is peak Musk. Richer than god and incapable of getting to the point without tripping over it.

Has anyone considered that twitter moderation during the 2020 election might have leaned slightly against Trump simply because he is a loving idiot?

That's the simple truth that trump, musk and all of their fellow travellers are running from: Media, social or otherwise, are actually insanely biased in their favor, because everything they believe and do is both stupid and morally repugnant. They claim they're being mistreated because they sometimes face slight pushback, but if they were actually being treated fairly, their entire media presence would range from "dude being told to shut the gently caress up and go away" to "hangin w/ mussolini."

What's "better" is apparently there's like three good hotels really close by to Twitter HQ, but apparently Moneybag Elon didn't get rich by spending money to foot the bills to ensure his most hardcore people's basic needs are seen to.

Ole Leon was at Paypal during the OG dot-com days right? Thats the last time I remember seeing offices with beds strung up like this. I'm sure its how he thinks 'poo poo gets done' but there's a evolutionary reason that entire model went out the window.

He's uploaded a few streams/videos to Youtube. Just looked like a lot of googling random stuff trying to get his bearings. Didn't watch the full things 'cause they were kind of boring but I did lol @ one point when he said something like, "This should be pretty simple, not hard at all." *click, click, clack-clack-clack...google...read for a bit* "Hm.

I wouldn't worry about that, Elon is doing his hardest to weed out anyone who might use words like "abusive," "ableist" or "salaries."

in a month's time your hypothetical responses will be nothing but crypto invites, phishing scams, epic cry laugh emoji elon retweets, and screeds against minorities, regardless of search parameters

I can fit 3 whole bud light cans now, ask me how!
guys, I've been working closely with Elon, and I think I've finally uncovered the vast global conspiracy that's threatening to choke the life out of this world. of course, I don't want to claim that I've done all this by myself. I had some very important people helping me from Kanye West to Jordan Peterson.

what I've discovered will absolutely shock you . The Chinese have invented a special kind of nano particle that looks like lint, but it's not. it's a very sophisticated, self coagulating super intelligence. they designed it to look like lint that people would think you're crazy when you discover it. "you must be crazy. You think the lint is trying to kill you!". first of all, I didn't say it was trying to kill me. I said it was a self coagulating Superintelligence. i've spent hours photographing this and I've almost come up with the proof. Stay tuned!

I can tell you straight up it's a really stupid idea; Because it's not just going out and getting a search result it can clear and forget in the browser cache, it's pulling results and storing them appended to the initial tweet permanently in their storage system.

So every single query is saved forever,AND will expand storage usage geometrically as you make a vague search term and pull THOUSANDS of hits back. For every user, and every query they make. That'd kill their system in about, oh, a day I reckon.

It's super-easy when the answer to every one of his questions is "Go to hell" or "You suck." There, add in a coin flip to determine the answer and you're done.

Really impressed by the level of hardcore programmers on this project.
