@OGTaylorB @waitbutwhy I think it’s the one solution without any downside assuming everyone thinks logically.

@goldscheider @waitbutwhy That's a functionally impossible hypothetical. It's a non-starter.

Suddenly standing alone in the room, I begin by imagining humanity banding together and blue winning in a landslide, and I feel a rush of pride. Red is the genocide button. Blue is the “save humanity from this nightmare” button. I know what kind of person I am. As my hand hovers over the blue button, I can’t help but imagine a gun pointing at my head with a bullet in one of the chambers. I feel a surge of fear shoot through my body. Then I think about all the other people staring at the blue button and thinking the same thing. Surely some of those who initially decided to press blue will succumb to the fear. It starts to feel like a gun with two loaded chambers. A stronger pulse of terror. The more I think about it, the more I worry about other people thinking about it. My heart races. Then I look at the red button—a gun with no bullets in it. A glorious feeling of relief washes over me. Will I hate myself forever if blue wins because enough others were better and braver than me? But don’t I owe it to my family to protect myself? One vote won’t change anything anyway, right? It’s all irrelevant because the mammal I live in has already made up its mind. I wince and press red.

@JustRouzbeh @9to5mac @apollozac Apple Duo. It’s an iPhone and an iPad after all.

@9to5mac @apollozac XDR Fold :)

Fold, Ultra, or something else? What should Apple call the foldable display iPhone? 9to5mac.com/2026/04/15/fol… by @apollozac

@9to5mac @iryantldr I wonder if the original iPhones had the same aspect ratio as the front of the foldable 🤔

Urgent: how to help save a young protester’s life. I cannot believe how many years we’ve had to recycle this dystopian practice. God, when will it end? #ErfanSoltani

@Helge I admit to sticking to the folks I follow and not to use ‘For you’ song can’t comment on that. Is Bluesky a real alternative for you (not a rhetorical question)?

@goldscheider Bluesky, LinkedIn. And it is not about who‘s using X, it is about its highly manipulative „For you“ algorithm, its lack of content moderation, its anti-democratic and anti-European owner and leadership and its lack of legal compliance in Europe. Non-exhaustive list.

Me: I try to look at data and trends rather than headlines, because headlines can give you a misleading picture of the state of the world. Something goes wrong every day — that’s guaranteed — and if you just look at something goes wrong and say, oh, things are getting worse, you might be forgetting all the things that went wrong in the past. Andrew Marr: And what we call the news is a long litany of all the things that are getting worse or going wrong. Me: Well, yes, it’s much easier for something bad to happen suddenly than for something good to happen. Good things either creep up on you a few percentage points a year, and sometimes can compound. So the fact that, for example, extreme poverty in the world has been declining and a billion people have escaped extreme poverty over the last 30 years — but not on Thursday — so it was never an event from the news. One of the biggest events in human history is something that most people have never even heard of. @AndrewMarr9 @LBC

@Joerg_Lenz @gosimfoundation You bet. Glad to be in Berlin for #eic2025

@goldscheider @gosimfoundation Hope it is a pleasure to be one of the session hosts at #EIC2025 in Berlin today as well.

It was a great pleasure to be in Paris. Thank you for the invitation @gosimfoundation

@waitbutwhy I think that’s overly simplistic @waitbutwhy. I bet you are different depending on whom you are with. Maybe a more accurate way to think about it is that we’re a point in a corridor and the position changes depending on who we interact with? Over time, even the corridor changes.

This is why it's important to surround yourself with people who can see the real you. If not, you might find yourself morphing your personality to match people's (incorrect) model of you, subconsciously hiding your real self away.
