A lot of people just don’t understand the scale of Twitter. It’s not the 6k posts per second. It’s propagating that data to millions of users in an instant. Capturing every impression, every click, like, RT, etc., seamlessly. Plus search. Spam/abuse. Security. Authentication. All of this built on physical hardware that’s constantly failing. That may not sound impressive now that anyone can offload the responsibility to AWS, but there wasn’t some off-the-shelf solution when Twitter was built.

This muppet is still acting like somebody censored “FearTheFloof” instead of what really happened: someone attention-seeking weirdo made a thread full of bizarre lies, got caught, and deleted his own account. Second-worst Stephen Miller has even acknowledged this is all bullshit, but keeps tweeting through it because he’s a dishonest hack.

this tryhard's thread is full of completely nonsensical claims including a faildox of the wrong @oneunderscore__, but also who is this mysterious "owner" of the Internet Archive, a 501(c)(3)? @oneunderscore__ Of course, he just found a random Ben Collins and is too stupid to know the difference.

I recently tried to find a new CAR tourniquet for a stop-the-bleed kit. I had to give up on Amazon because the results were flooded with dozens of counterfeit or knockoff listings. Even if I bought from the correct tourniquet listing, Amazon has serious problems with commingled inventory. Check out the reviews on any Sandisk flash card for an example. But at least a counterfeit SD card won’t kill someone. ems1.com/ems-products/m…

He's currently walking back all his claims (without admitting he's doing so) via a live discussion. Click on his profile to join. He is now interpreting "all Olympian audio is being collected, analyzed and saved on Chinese servers" to mean "any audio recorded (possibly none!) is transmitted to Chinese servers". Well, duh.

I regret to inform you that Louise Mensch is at it again. Apparently, the US Cyber Command (?) has blown up a bunch of oil/gas pipelines with "[n]o environmental damage". Because ransomware. ImageImage

<whispers> The Lincoln Project’s target audience is wealthy liberals who’ve already committed to Biden. A lot of replies saying that the target audience is Donald Trump. Yes, that's what they say. Because all we need to defeat Trump is to make him REALLY MAD.

Ah. Well. Nevertheless,
