@WSJ @KimStrassel This is an unbelievable piece from the @wsj . Now go read the @guardian piece today on the editorial influences at WSJ.

@ylecun Is this a fair comparison when you think of the UNIT cost of the various R&D departments? i.e. $20bn at Huawei is probably 3x the output hours of any of these others... (especially Intel!)...

Where are European companies?

@elonmusk Very cool

@elonmusk I bought a Windows PC a few months ago for gaming. Been a long time since I used a windows device. I was (and remain) stunned how terrible the interface is compared to MacOS.

@elonmusk This is typical behavior of a company that has LONG put the consent decree behind it. Look at extensive anticompetitive bundling behavior at the enterprise level. That they make this super difficult to avoid says it all about the value they place on your data. Especially yours!

Just bought a new PC laptop and it won’t let me use it unless I create a Microsoft account, which also means giving their AI access to my computer! This is messed up. There used to be an option to skip signing into or creating a Microsoft account. Are you seeing this too?

@Joel_P_Atkinson The issue is with them and how he is viewing himself (emperor) not with us.

And bilateral, not like this SCO meeting fmprc.gov.cn/mfa_eng/wjb_66…

Has any prior secretary of state agreed to this humiliating seating arrangement?

@profgalloway Books are as good/better!

Slow Horses Trust. Me.

@Pearupthere They get taken off back stage.

When someone wins a Grammy or Oscar or whatever do they just walk back to their seat and hold it or do they like bring a little backpack for their trophies

@Pearupthere @progressive @FreemanSchool What is born on social media lives forever on social media.

The only reason I’m a marketing major is so I can be the one to kill off Flo from progressive when the company naturally needs to replace her to due to her age. @progressive @FreemanSchool

@Strava can you please explain your new policy of not sharing data from 3rd party devices with AppleHealth. People use more than just your app. There are these things called iPhone and Applewatch. If you cut those off you are going to lose paid customers. I just canceled for eg.

@ajcoles @markgorter @StravaSupport @Strava I IMMEDIATELY canceled my paid subscription to strava.

@ajcoles @markgorter @StravaSupport @Strava Strava = training hub and was more accurate/reliable. AppleWatch and Health = great way to motivate (AW rings). BUT if strava are taking themselves out of the hub business (even for PAID customers), they will force people to look else where for cycle tracking and data integration

Hi @StravaSupport Are you aware of an issue of rides not uploading from @Strava to Apple Health this morning? Thanks!

@MoodyHikmet @ericsyuan save the world!!

Ridiculous but true fact: Zoom, the teleconferencing app, has done more to reduce emissions than electric vehicles.

BREAKING: Devin Nunes is fleeing from Congress at the end of the month because he would rather cash out and take a cushy gig from Trump than face our movement in a tough reelection campaign. This is now an open seat race and WE WILL WIN. Like and RT to join this movement.

Covid testing is a scam. We need testing, but prices range from free to $250 for rapid airport tests.

@RBReich And by the way, why? Why fight something which will make us all safer. It’s not leadership. It’s idiocy. Making us all more stupid, one day at a time.

I once argued cases before the Supreme Court. Republicans who call vaccine mandates unconstitutional are talking rubbish. In 1905, in Jacobson vs. Massachusetts, the Court ruled compulsory vaccination laws constitutional when public health is at stake. rawstory.com/robert-reich-v…

To the Republicans who think the new vaccine requirements are an overreach: have at it. The health of the American people isn’t a game — and it’s time you stop treating it like one.

About 4:30 in, a guy who had covid last fall and spent a week in a hospital receiving Regeneron monoclonal antibodies says he won't take the vaccine because "they" "shafted my president" by not giving Trump the vaccine "because they knew damn well he'd be re-elected."

Seems consistent with every other shitty thing that guy has done.
