In behaving this way, he is erasing a tremendous amount of the goodwill he generated from his space and electric car businesses. The world's media, political, business, scientific elite are on Twitter and watching carefully. It's all very upsetting to watch. I hope that, as you've said, he finds a better management team to fix this ongoing trainwreck.

I share the author's personal investment in this topic. It was my first introduction to the web3 world, and it really showcases the potential of truly decentralized communities. Some of the flaws were visible, but overall how this community evolves and incorporates the input of its 17K participants will set up the norms and practices for DAOs for some time to come. I'm hoping that the community created here endures and continues to test and expand the boundaries of this new type of organization.

ICE’s have over a century of development behind them now. I’m not going to miss them, but I wonder if there’s a way to ‘archive’ this kind of specialist mechanical engineering knowledge. It may come in handy one day.

It’s depressing to read about engineers having to go to the Smithsonian to study the lunar lander to relearn some of the innovations and improvisations made at the time.

There's Messenger Lite, I think meant for low internet connection speeds and free of a lot of bloat. Hopefully the antitrust lawsuit will keep Zuck from getting too egregious and getting rid of that too, but who knows.

It's a really good point; what really got me was Facebook being impossible to remove from my Samsung device (S8+) without rooting. Likely due to their tie-up with Oculus. I find the uncannily appropriate ads being served fairly disturbing, and an invasion of privacy. It's going to be a real challenge transferring data and settings though...

I'm moving away from Android (after 10 years) to iOS for exactly this reason. Not much sympathy for FB on my end.

It's a simple choice really; being infected with Covid means your body creates thousands of antibodies to fight the virus. Some of those will likely go on and attack your own cells and cause post-covid symptoms. The vaccines only present part of one protein, so not as many antibodies created, less scope for after effects. Key will be seeing when Pfizer and Moderna release their safety data for their testing cohorts. If the effects are minimal, getting the vaccine is a no-brainer.

I think we have Adobe to thank for stagnation in creator tools. There are smaller, harder to find companies doing pieces of the work (i.e. Photopea for Photoshop) and lots of video editing apps that have grown up around Instagram and TikTok. Blender is great for 3d modeling and more.

What competitor is this, if you don't mind me asking? Could use a service like that for my own project.

I think you're right... We blew through the free tier 50k database reads just on testing, and that's just 3 users!

Early stage social media/news feedy startup here, wondering if a strategy of just starting off with Firebase and praying will work.

I figure if we did get to a thousand or ten thousand users, we could recruit the DevOps talent to pull this off before the bills kill us!
