yeah american business is incredibly corrupt, def some parallels with trump, except that musk was actually successful at business, trump did get to be president tho which is pretty nice too

shit like this should really be a jail type situation
In 2015 I decided on a whim to check out Tesla's battery swap station that was earning the company 9 figures in California ZEV credits, and found it wasn't real. Instead Tesla was using diesel generators to charge cars. Here's how this changed my life 🧵— E.W. Niedermeyer (@Tweetermeyer) May 20, 2022

Part of today will be turning off the “microservices” bloatware. Less than 20% are actually needed for Twitter to work!— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) November 14, 2022
very much the "nearly all government spending is wasteful, we can easily do away with 90% of it" mentality that idiots like Ted Cruz have

my friend who is a fast cars and electric engines nerd -- like she can literally talk abt types of battery for hours at a stretch -- says she will never climb into a tesla and that they are ludicrously and unimagineably dangerous. she DETESTS musk since long before all this
stripping out the resilience then outsourcing the risk -- i mean the risk at twitter is that i have to look elsewhere for my "cats with jobs" needs but he is running it the exact same way

i feel bad for twitter workers but this is tremendous content

btw no one uses the term rpc right, hes just trying to say request
― lag∞n, Monday, 14 November 2022 16:17 (one year ago) link
Yeah he means requests probably
― G. D’Arcy Cheesewright (silby), Monday, 14 November 2022 16:18 (one year ago) link
and the reason he thinks theres a thousand requests for a page load is because he doesnt understand what graphql is doing
i just looked up rpc and based on ten seconds of scanning it seems like its a situation where you make a request that could be fulfilled locally or remotely, which would describe how graphql works
― lag∞n, Monday, 14 November 2022 16:23 (one year ago) link
or he does understand how it works he just decided he doesnt like the batching
― lag∞n, Monday, 14 November 2022 16:26 (one year ago) link
and hes trying make the situation sound much worse than it is to give him an excuse to break twitter, idk lol
― lag∞n, Monday, 14 November 2022 16:27 (one year ago) link
i mean some of the requests are rpcs as an implementation detail. no one talks like that though.

ah very nice slam dunk
apparently they didnt turn off 2-factor authentication but they DID turn off the service that sends you the 2-factor authentication code. so if you log out and try to log in with an authentication code you simply wont receive one. lol. lmao https://t.co/CoTqonsagG— zach silberberg (@zachsilberberg) November 14, 2022
