Min? Max? 90% percentile? Which regions? Under which load conditions.

Oh yeah, that's right, none of that. It's some number he has gullibly repeated from some ambitious young engineer hoping not to get fired.

It is like with Tesla Semi recent 81000lbs for 500 miles - How much is payload? What is the weight of the truck? We may never know.

relevant to my interests. whats a good (non payola/astroturfed) starting point link for this analysis?

This video seemed quite alright to answer your question https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uv44W7xa4IU

exactly, how can you call yourself an engineer/scientist if you quote latency without percentile.

That's without talking about coordinated omission.

I'm strongly reminded of Xi Jinping suggesting a different potato variety for villagers to plant, thus changing their lives.

Twitter timeline page now takes multiple seconds (5-9seconds) to load for me.

Which country?

UK, gigabit fibre broadband.

At least now the replies load most of the time. Been 50-50 since the mass layoffs.

It's been pretty slow for me for the last few weeks. In fairness, he didn't say from _when_ it was reduced by 400ms... If it got a lot worse, then slightly better, that could qualify, at a pinch.

‘Tweeters’ should be renamed as ‘musketweeters’

People are too angry. If this is true, you could calculate how many human lifespans it will save per day. Good.

Twitter is now operating at 1.3 gigacuils.

Uh huh. Sure Elon.
