lol

spoken like a true layman

data dude, twitter is an effing goldmine

if you use a product that doesn't make you pay, you're paying somehow, and that's with giving away your info

I'm not an idiot btw I understand that they have value, what I was unaware of was what they were sacrificing that value in pursuit of

Rude!

Yo, lagging user growth + management desperation changing ux by the week ("moments", 140->1,000-10,000 char expansion, periscope launch/fail) = maybe it is 龜 that is... 笨!

I like periscope!

burn twitter to the subbasement

major badassery

welp an app called Yenta already exists

hi dere I need a time machine

― its subtle brume (DJP)

YNTA

A dating app for therapists to match up their patients

probably exists but: a little auction app. for example:

you put your apartment on craigslist, get multiple offers, some of whom are offering above asking price. emailing back and forth and coordinating multiple offers is cumbersome, and you want to get it done asap but you also want to extract as much surplus as possible.

using the app, you could invite all offers to an auction. you choose the type; english, dutch, blind, first-bid or second-bid, etc depending on what outcome you want. the app could come with a little tutorial on which auction type to use in which situations. the offerers get a time and place, or a deadline to submit sealed bids, along with instructions.

Ugh twitter

Twitter and ilx should never mix imo

Delete thread and ban future mentions

Obv any ilxors still using twitter should be banned

seems there are a lot of twitter miserablists these days, i think it's a big DUD, tho i still like sosadtoday, at least she maintains some humor/irony

sosadtoday is A+

sk1 has breached the ilx wall

@tinynietzsche does a fine blend of depression/humour

The consensus among those who were notified is that Twitter’s silence is likely because of a gag order imposed by a National Security Letter, a powerful tool used by the U.S. government and law enforcement to compel telecommunications companies, technology providers and Internet service providers to turn over customer data. In December, a gag order on a 2004 NSL imposed upon Nicholas Merrill, owner of defunct ISP Calyx was lifted and for the first time the scope of a NSL was revealed. In Merrill’s specific case, the FBI not only sought detailed personal subscriber information, but browser history, IP addresses the subscriber connected to, email addresses, screen names and online aliases associated with the account, plus six months worth of online purchases. The FBI also sought a radius log, which includes cell tower-based tracking information.

from mordy's link

"They can survive as a public company even with a low valuation and even with annoying shareholder pressure," says Kathleen Smith, principal at Renaissance Capital. But, she adds, "at a low valuation may have strategic value to companies such as Google, Facebook, and NewsCorp."

so why did swarthyvillain get banned?

He's back under a different name. Greenwald was also asking Support about this, oddly.

There's speculation it's partly because he writes a lot of stuff about Saudi regime marketing bros but that seems a massive stretch. He does actively troll / harass people but no worse than a million other accounts.

"troll / harass" in world where these words no longer have any meaning

kk that's what i figured

even though i'm a #berniebro, i kinda can't wait for him to lose and for this idiotic social media battle to end

#berniebros v #hillarymen in the battle for americas soul

its been dumb to see the #alt journos circle the wagons on him

https://s3-ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/www.friendster.com/img/friendster_announcement.jpg

alt journos were always just the next gen mainstream

yeah. isn't that depressing? the ironey mainstream is a depressing af idea to me

I get Ta-Nehisi Coates's point but retweeting every asshole who tweeted at him over Bernie was a bit much.

i just listened to doug henwood interview adolph reed and wow reed's disdain of TNC is boundless

yeah I saw that, eesh. i was pissed at TNC too but Reed sounds like such a bitter crank

here's a transcript of the interview for folks who want to check it out

http://johnhalle.com/outragesandinterludes/?p=741

sounding like a bitter crank while being otm has been reed's stock in trade for a while, but yeah, he goes pretty deep here

wait, who are the #alt journos precisely?

RE Reed and TNC: all the "he thinks he's baldwin, but HE'S NOT BALDWIN and he has NOTHING TO SAY" stuff just makes him sound dumb. the thing that pissed me off about the TNC sanders reparations piece wasn't so much the reparations thing (although IMHO he should have included the obama quotes on reparations from 2008 in the text of the original article), it was starting from the position that Sanders is completely unelectable and should just be a washboard for our wildest policy dreams. and like, TNC is such a good writer and makes you sit back all contemplative, feeling smart for having considered all the possibilities... but it's primary season, man, and the actual effect of him writing that piece is a bunch of smug fence-sitting libs feeling vindicated for backing hillary

bernie is obvs a huge risk electability wise and i dont think its unclean to point that out, also if he did win via being matched up v trump that his presidency cld be a huge disaster is worth thinking abt at least, tnc and krugman calling him a fraud is weird tho like hes def less of a fraud than most politicians which is not to say he is without fault but their criticism seems to exist in some sort of weird bubble where hes not running against the people hes running against

I don't see the problem w tnc's piece really

But I'm prob a smug fence sitter who wd be ok w backing Hillary
