@ftrain this is your best tweet

@varstahl @capnramses @discourse well, you can see it at https://t.co/k84OylSuUV but note that comments are read-only, you must click through to the forum to reply. That's intentional friction.. drive-by random contributions are.. uh.. not good

@varstahl @capnramses @discourse Sort of. Discourse is more of a dedicated community solution. "a bunch of comments slapped at the bottom of a page" isn't really a sane model for .. anything ;)

@cwodtke it's kinda like the "things are so bad here, we're moving to Canada" path. It doesn't really help address the root problem.

@cwodtke you can't quit the future. Well, you *can*.. I guess..

@jwz @charlesarthur @siracusa it was the mixtapes, wasn't it

@jwz @charlesarthur @siracusa also THREE TIMES man? Good lord!

@jwz @charlesarthur @siracusa a really REALLY good version of this that's actually horror is the movie They Look Like People (2015). I'd recommend that 100000x more than Starfish, which was in love with.. itself.

@jwz @charlesarthur @siracusa it's not even "snug", this is the opposite of horror. And then the scene where she's magically transported to the set of the movie she's in? *come on*. That's like something a kid in high school came up with.

@jwz @charlesarthur @siracusa My main criticism: this is really not a horror movie at all, not even a little. Beyond that it could be ok if you are into meditative shoegaze pacing.

@jwz You watched this THREE TIMES?!

@deadprogrammer incorrect, it is the greatest UI failure in recorded human history and the only solution is to cease all use of Twitter immediately upon penalty of death

@Carnage4Life Does it matter? Facebook will copy that too. Tick tick tick.

@deadprogrammer BHAG

@cwhite_92 Nobody can protect at the scale cloudflare does. Nobody. At least nobody they can *afford*. That's part of the fantasy here, and it needs to end.

this juvenile fantasy that cloudflare thinks of themselves as a dumb service pipe, and not a premium DDoS protection service, has to end. That said, I do agree that it is right to protect vulnerable and at-risk communities as a free service. But not hate. Never hate.

@mjg59 @eastdakota that's pretty much a given, I never thought or even considered of any other possibility

@textfiles we must do nothing! it's the only rational course of action!

@deadprogrammer the fully nude miners was an awesome touch though, you have to admit

@Hanzo55 deleted

@deadprogrammer what's amazing to me about the HBO series (which was nearly perfect) is that I didn't understand just how narrowly the mass casualty outcome was averted.

@deadprogrammer I can't even look at Dilbert now

@nickshanks I am reminded of that time I mentioned neti pot and @michaelpryor was all like "watch out for the brain eating ameobas!" 🦠

@nickshanks wtf mate

1 year later + mod video w/ installing aftermarket tubeless/solid tires.. apparently you heat them in the oven first so they're soft enough to squeeze on.. with zipties! 🤣 https://t.co/jTrCQJg1LD

@Pinboard https://t.co/wKK8ZDunVD

@ftrain I need to unsee this Paul

@deadprogrammer cosigned

@tveastman @migueldeicaza @monteiro @Twitter watch Years and Years on HBO/BBC

@tveastman @migueldeicaza @monteiro @Twitter starts with the voters in a democracy, unfortunately. who holds *them* to a higher standard? 🤔

@303 @migueldeicaza @monteiro @Twitter that, I actually support. It's the "coordinated inauthentic behavior"

@303 @monteiro @migueldeicaza @Twitter yes, because if twitter hand-blocks a few politicians, that will totally stop that forever across all online platforms. Better to adjust to the new reality and deal with it rather than pretending we can wish it into a cornfield. Watch Years and Years on HBO/BBC.

@migueldeicaza @monteiro @Twitter if by "trying" you mean "convince a lot of people to send money to contested political districts" then please, by all means, keep trying 😘

@mekajfire @migueldeicaza @monteiro @Twitter what you're really protesting is that Trump was elected. Fix the disease, not the symptoms.

@303 @migueldeicaza @monteiro @Twitter so vote trump out, problem solved. This is like arguing that trump blocking people should have been solved by twitter rather than the courts: https://t.co/xsvBSec3gb

@migueldeicaza @monteiro @Twitter @Pinboard The most you will *maybe* ever get is Parental Advisory labeling on some of the tweets. Is that really helpful?

@migueldeicaza @monteiro @Twitter @Pinboard I find pure escapist fantasies less useful than I used to in 2015.

@migueldeicaza @monteiro @Twitter You will never get any US president kicked off Twitter. That, I guarantee. I want us to focus on actually getting the votes we need to win.

@monteiro @migueldeicaza @Twitter @Pinboard (also this fighting each other thing for dumb reasons is something republicans don't do, which is why they win. They're very tribal that way.)

@migueldeicaza @monteiro @Twitter Sure, if you like a useless er.. prong.. go for it. I prefer to spend time on things that have a chance of actually working, like sending money to support campaigns that have a chance of flipping districts.

@monteiro @migueldeicaza @Twitter It's what works. I learned it from @pinboard. Keep your chin up, Monteiro, we have a common enemy: Trump.

@monteiro @migueldeicaza @Twitter Yeah, you do.

@migueldeicaza @monteiro @Twitter you can, but only one of those things will make any difference. We need to take responsibility for what happened, not blame Twitter for the fact that we have the worst president in the last 200 years in office.

@tveastman @migueldeicaza @monteiro @Twitter first he has to be removed from office, then I believe that can happen

@monteiro @migueldeicaza @Twitter I just feel like focusing on twitter is an enormous waste of effort, but if that's what you're into, have at it. I'm sending money to flip districts and support campaigns on the ground, as much as I can.

@migueldeicaza @monteiro @Twitter It is super unrealistic to expect Twitter to be responsible for enforcing democracy in the united states. That's just.. bullshit, honestly.

@monteiro @migueldeicaza @Twitter we can do that by voting in 2020

@deadprogrammer don't forget to mash that like button and ring that bell!

@ranrub not really a fan of hybrids. I'm a boil the sea, all or nothing kind of guy.

@mcclure111 @textfiles 48 button presses, holy 💩 someone really did not want this found. Where is that guy today?

@berniedy @rands There is a core of a good idea there for sure

@itsrealannjawn It is not

@lordscarlet @aviw Looks legit but no sooner than 2022

@rands they did a good job, it's actually *better* than the comic IMO. Re-read it recently and big swaths of it have noooot aged well

@john_lam it coincides with reaganomics https://t.co/4KXYwnclWh

@michaelpryor oh this is the model x, my bad. Can you even buy those? Isn't it like $90k+?

@lizardbill it's annoying though, it blocks a bunch of attachment points!

@SkaveRat it has a LED though

@rakslice not sure but I can get it to around 5w draw on full artificial load so at least that for the CPU max

@kevindente never leave work Kevin Dente

@deadprogrammer more seriously, it makes the car feel a heck of a lot like a smartphone, which is a good feeling in my book.

@deadprogrammer it's like Juicero and Peloton had a baby

@aviw will this ever actually get released though

aha PG&E is moving to time-of-use rates for everyone in CA, but that basically just means "avoid using a lot of power from 4pm to 9pm, all other times, you're fine"

this Kia Niro has a 170kW battery / 64kWh, looks like my energy costs are ~15 cents per kWh? so conceptually $9.60 to "fill it up" for max 250 mile range, 4 cents per mile, 15 cents per kWh? 🤔 https://t.co/3ZAMaSD2hF

@Pinboard global warming, on a long enough timescale, solves all problems

@can @Pinboard @chton as much as I love a good dystopia story, that outcome is super unlikely in the USA

@Pinboard @chton you can look at what happened in Brazil https://t.co/0E6qCR8i9a

@Pinboard @chton it would be, but also remember the amount of cheese here is immense. People will go to extreme lengths to bypass any ban, and the companies would gladly facilitate, because I mean how do you ban a *website*, thepiratebay is still up

@kylealden global warming will fix this

@Pinboard @chton note that whatsapp would have the same network in a browser that they do in an app. It would arguably stunt future growth somewhat, but other than that, same service, same network effects

@Pinboard @chton apps, maybe, but how do you ban *all websites* when a website could implement the same protocols? Just open a browser to bypass that law

@creanium @mathowie @kylealden I support wheel buttons for this kind of use case and I think there should be a few

@mathowie @kylealden I do really like the minimalism of Tesla's interiors, ironically that is a bravery like 99% of car companies lack. They just gotta shit the interior up with tons of buttons and dials and gew-gaws

@benja @mathowie @chris_e_simpson given the rarity of trips like that for most, I don't think mapping out level 3 charger locations (which, to be fair, are indeed still a bit rare at this point) isn't unreasonable as part of your "vacation" planning.

@mathowie @chris_e_simpson you mean when you don't spend the night there? That's fair

@bikehugger @mathowie it really, really is

@chriswelch @siracusa https://t.co/HrWCx3zrE0

@Pinboard so you're saying that blue lives matter

@kylealden @mathowie guess what doesn't *ever* get out of date, and *never* stops being updated? Your phone.

@kylealden @mathowie yeah people who said "Tesla software is super good, no need for carplay" are on crack cocaine. Car manufacturers will always fuck up the software. *Always*. This is a law of the universe.

(And no matter what, it'll get out of date and stop being updated.)

@JacobEthanWhite @mathowie given the heavy implied GPS usage, I think the cable requirement is a smart one personally. Also bandwidth for hi-res video (I heard carplay is basically just shunting real time video of the UI?)

@mathowie huh so they can fuck up CARPLAY?!? News to me, but.. wow. That's a new low.

@jwz @migueldeicaza Yahoo / AOL email service is very bad, so this adds an extra layer of amusement. They're notorious for just silently dropping email they don't like for whatever reason. Several Discourse topics on this (Discourse is hard-core email required)

@dvassallo @rands well yeah that's fair. It's hard to write so most people don't bother, and cheat with nonsense like bulleted lists.

@dvassallo @rands so in 1997 he used five bullets.. one time. Can you cite more examples please? I'm willing to go to the mattresses on this one. That's how much I fucking hate bullets.

@mathowie oh my god CarPlay is such a breath of fresh air, isn't it? Imagine if your car's software didn't SUCK TOTAL ASS? That's CarPlay. It is glorious. (And your phone charges, since it mandates a dedicated USB connection)

@mathowie @chris_e_simpson level 2 is really simple, too, it's basically "does this place have an available washer/dryer electrical plug that I can plug into" (240v)

@mathowie @chris_e_simpson if by "a bit" you mean "park at a house or hotel that has a level 2 charger", then perhaps I guess? Any Level 2 will get you to 80% overnight with ease, and this Niro has 250 mile range.

@mathowie @chris_e_simpson how is requiring regular oil changes and emission checks "flexible to own"? I want no more of that world.

@BrianSniffen I like that our Niro has a 250 mile range. I think that's a good baseline, once they get to 300 I think this anxiety should disappear forever.

@mathowie also C&D gave that pacifica a scathingly bad review and called it inferior to the gas model 😯 https://t.co/S3kn3fRanD

@mathowie https://t.co/cS88xKn8VB .. I am super not doing hybrids, to me that's a worst of both worlds solution. All the maintenance of gas/oil, none of the simplicity of all electric

@deadprogrammer @rands you should delete this tweet and then delete your account

@dvassallo @rands Try reading something Bezos actually wrote, though: https://t.co/VNhDhnvZoo .. headers, yes, bullets, emphatically HELL NO

@rands I really hate bullets and so does Jeff Bezos https://t.co/XE4DRe7QCx

@michaelpryor @table_delete Conceptually it is like everyone has a “gas station” at home and that is a very different dynamic

@vandsh Yeah 30mpg city is a stretch but since this specific trip was all highway I wanted to be generous
