What are the downsides to having a greencard?

Looks like it would probably be quite useful when setting up git worktrees, to get multiple claude code instances spun up a bit more easily.

They're effectively giving you a pay-cut.

It's a bit hard to assess the significance of this. Sample size isn't even given. 40 people went through this test, or 4 million?

So they may or may not have abandoned the cloud?

Just to help connect the dots on this - Sonic is the ISP that received a court order for Jacob Appelbaum's email. https://uloadr.com/u/rA44.png

The author of the "Five Levels" article is the CEO of Sonic.

Is the fact that Apple earns revenue from the 3rd-party developers' sales material to the case for either party?

A well known Palo Alto law firm I talked to last year made this point abundantly clear in early discussions re engaging them. They wouldn't represent the founders, they would represent the company. Even in those early talks they mentioned there would sometimes be conflicts of interest where it would be best the founders seek their own legal advice.

I'm just as interested to know who the lawyers were.

Twitter's staff pic on their recruitment page shows a lot of people who have left too.

Twitter is no longer a protocol.

Why did you get denied? If you don't know, ask @episod/Taylor to tell you.

Yes, I'm not claiming this was any great revolutionary activism - but it was action beyond "Western self-congratulation" as John writes about in the linked post.

People took out their wallets, and paid. See if you can find the 28 people who matched. It's not easy - they're not getting any PR. This was someone who on a whim decided to attempt to raise money for a charity through the Twitter medium, and he gained a lot of support. The trigger was favs, not RTs - I'd argue it's not a PR stunt.

I do share your cynicism about the Iran situation, but I think Twitter can be used as an effective tool around smaller issues as demonstrated.

What if in the future there are 2 billion twitter users instead of 170 million? Do you think there will generally be higher awareness of global issues? Before you can act on something you need to be aware of it right?

On the flip side, this tweet and the action from it raised almost $15,000 for breast cancer in less than 24 hours: http://favstar.fm/users/Mike_FTW/status/27827936119

28 people matched the 10c donation, and there was $8,000 of adhoc donations inspired by the action. See: http://favstar.fm/users/Mike_FTW/status/27901780152

I'm on the fence. If I hadn't of gone through the process of learning how to set up servers myself, I definitely would have used your services. Now I know how to do it, though perhaps not efficiently, and perhaps not in the most secure, optimized way, you'd have to do a good sales job to get me interested. I'd at least take a look at your website's home page though. :-)

The fav feature is the like button. You can see your most popular tweets at http://favstar.fm/users/<yourtwittername>;

From there click on the recent button to see what tweets of yours were recently faved, or the given button to see what you have faved.

I've recently started integrating RT tracking too, as tech tweeters do tend to use RT more than likes.

If you log into http://favstar.fm once, it will start collecting favs and RTs you give and receive almost instantly. Otherwise it collects them more slowly using twitter's REST api.

Mine in Seattle are okay.

It would be useful if Google hooked some info like this into the error message somehow. Can anyone pass it on to the right people at Google?

Odd thing to say. Birdhouse app is Adam's app btw. He made it with Cameron Hunt.

I just flagged this story. Does that mean an op will review it?

I think it's wrong to state that Twitter is censoring, and is harmful. It should have been posted as a question instead.

[edit: The poster's reviewed it.]

Ahh - wait - I see if you search from the main site, it fails for me now too. http://search.twitter.com works though. Weird. I expect it's due to a some bug/performance failure rather than an intentional censorship. Otherwise search.twitter.com would be censored too.

I see people here agreeing, but when I visit http://twitter.com/#search?q=%23flotilla it appears fine?

Here's what I see: http://twitpic.com/1spne4

I don't think they would do this. Care to explain?

The labels under the compaction graph show the four servers all running in the same slicehost datacenter (St. Louis-B).

You have seen http://favstar.fm right? Let me know if I can make it more useful to you. Try the 'my favstar list' feature there - it does what you're talking about.

His top post is one of my all time favourite tweets. Often quoted.

Hey caffeine, I'd love to talk to you about this. Please ping me tmhaines a@t the google mail system if you see this.

Hey Dusty, I had a look at your site a few days ago and followed you on twitter. I was interested until I had a look at a few of the people advertising themselves. The ones I saw looked pretty boring. ;-) I would be interested in talking to you more about it though. tmhaines at googles mail system.

Thank you. Will fix.

Thank you. I'm pretty happy to see this. Will investigate. Even if it's 10% true, that's pretty healthy.
