Your scroll-to-death user interface made me close the window before the end of the second page. Did you ask an LLM to recommend the most user-friendly UI to you?

I use a unique email address for each substack author that I subscribe to. That is incompatible with Notes.

If you subscribe to someone’s Notes you also subscribe to their email articles. No thank you, especially if aal their articles are behind a paywall. Not sure why Musk is so freaked out over Notes. Probably just general paranoia.

The FDIC $250,000 insurance is there to protect the depositors. The amount is not a secret. If you keep more than that in cash in a bank account, you take a known risk and must definitely not be bailed out. You did not need to keep that lar

Why would that merit a recurring charge? In other words, what ongoing expense is incurred by the company to display a particular icon next to your name?

What about the verified status can change, that merits a recurring charge versus a once-off charge? Can you suddenly morph into “not you”?

Any alien race with technology to reach Sol will also have superior technology to defend themselves. Only start worrying when the “balloon” shot down the F-18s and F35s that were scrambled to shoot it down.

The biggest weakness of ChatGPT is that you do not know the source of the information that it presents to you. With Google, you can apply human assessment and judgment on the veracity of the information based upon your knowledge of the reli

From the article: “The chairman of FBH is Jean Chalopin, who, along with being a co-creator of cartoon cop Inspector Gadget in the 1980s, is the chairman of Deltec Bank, which, like FTX, is based in the Bahamas. Deltec’s best-known client i

This is the correct take. Without the staff and institutional knowledge of a 16 year old service, no amount of hand waving will keep the service healthy. It’s a stunning display of what not to do.

The months you’re referring to was spent trying to get out of the deal. It was not spent preparing for it to close.

Kara Swisher said some advertisers had told her, after a meeting with Musk last week in NY, that either he came to the meeting totally unprepared or he actually had no plan. He could not articulate a sensible plan to them.

Having too many servers (many thousands) could be a big drawback for onboarding. Choice paralysis, and difficulty / time consumption of picking a suitable server to join.

If average Jane, who is not a raving Tesla fan, wants to spend circa $140K on an EV, and she has to choose between the Mercedes EQS 580 and the Tesla Model X, which one would you say is the no-brainer (better value for money)? https:/

> The entire point of Tether is that you can absolutely trust them with $100K, $1M, $10M, or whatever. It's backed, it's robust, it's tethered, and they guarantee payout. No, they don't. This is what Tether says in it

It's only unusual if you make the mistake by thinking about it in terms of US $320 million hard fiat currency. That's probably NOT what's going to happen. It's most likely going to be 320 million USDT (Tether) or an equi

From a technical perspective you are correct. However, in the midst of a mania, unfortunately nobody is going to listen to a group of engineers telling them about the dangers of blockchain. The only thing that will, and can, stop the madnes

No. Copyright of the work is not generally transferred to the buyer of the NFT. You're buying a cryptographic pointer (URL) to the work, not the work itself. https://slate.com/technology/2021/03/beeple-au
