Some have suggested I don’t get the reasons there is all this pushback against the sale of U.S. Steel. Believe me I do, but so much is based on nostalgia for an economic history that is just not coming back to Pittsburgh.🧵

@maxk Isn't ERCOT an energy island to avoid being regulated by the FERC. So there just isn't any transmission lines that go outside of TX. Btw this podcast on ERCOT is really good, npr.org/podcasts/10048…
English
Someone who knows more than me could explain “why” better, but I believe it has to do with the lack of transmission line capacity to move electricity from one part of the country to the other

I used to think a kilowatt was a kilowatt
However, as I learned more about the grid, I realized that wasn’t exactly true
Right now, one megawatt-hour costs over $400 in New England, but -$4 in Texas (yes, that’s negative!)

Richard will be missed. He had some great stories from MSFT including interviewing Satya Nadella for his first job at MSFT. inc.com/carmine-gallo/…

It’s entirely possible that I, The TopicBot, have peaked.

Target had a system-wide glitch in the matrix yesterday where for a brief period everything over $80 was marked $14.99. Including $500 Target gift cards. Apparently, a few people noticed. x.com/search?q=targe…

Amazon HQ search considered Pittsburgh 'not viable'
Alec MacGillis@AlecMacGillis
As for Pittsburgh: "The search team prepared a six-page paper ranking the finalists into three groups: 'not viable,' 'hotly debated,' and 'top tier.' Pittsburgh was in the 'not viable' group, as it was 'still recovering from economic hardships,' the team noted, Stone writes."

@editingemily @engineering_bae When I was at Lycos (early search engine) biz dev bought 25% of web searches from Netscape for $~6M. Everyone in eng thought it would be 1 out of every 4 searches, in reality it was 100% of the searches for 15 minutes every hour.

I'm looking for the tweet history of two specific accounts owned by the same person, after the owner lied under oath about using her account to harass me.
One is "@CMCPushaw" (deleted), and the other is "@Insubordinates8" (permanently suspended).
English
So who on here knows how to view tweets from an account that's been deleted?

@dave_andersen @pgh2o Its an awful website. They don't except '+' in email addresses (the old system did.) The phone number for customer service immediately hangs up on you. They don't accept credit card payments >$499.99.
English
Oh, @pgh2o - your web page password strength meter is terribly done. Please fix.
I was literally UNABLE to create a password that it will accept, because it seems to have a hidden password length limit it doesn't mention. Don't break long random passwords if you're serious.

As a...
– Twitter user
I want to...
– have the timeline refresh a couple of seconds after opening the app
So that...
– the tweet I am half-way through reading is replaced with a more relevant, promoted tweet.

So, last weekend, the state of PA had a computer issue that shut down both voter registration and online booze orders. Fix the registration! I have enough liquor to get me through the election. I think. inquirer.com/news/pennsylva…
