@RationalBlonde With new release, changing your verified name will cause loss of checkmark until name is confirmed by Twitter to meet Terms of Service

@RationalBlonde 🤣

@TweetsOfJee @RationalBlonde 🤣

Punting relaunch of Blue Verified to November 29th to make sure that it is rock solid

@business False

@mrjasonchoi @nytimes Interesting thread

@SenBillNelson @NASA @SpaceX Much appreciated, SpaceX will not let NASA down!

Important to admit when I’m wrong & firing them was truly one of my biggest mistakes

Welcoming back Ligma & Johnson! https://t.co/LEhXV95Njj

@BillyM2k Actual Silicon Valley is way crazier!

@waitbutwhy This is just as a result of people living longer. Population collapse is already built-in, due to dramatically decreasing birth rates.

@jack @micsolana 💯

@elonchieftwit False

@mualphaxi @micsolana @JTLonsdale @SenMarkey Much appreciated

@presidentbison @schrep Schrep is great

@libsoftiktok A tragic case of adult onset Tourette’s

@catturd2 @WholeMarsBlog You make a compelling case

@micsolana The injustice of it all 😭😭

@ajtourville @unusual_whales Seriously

@chriskatje @unusual_whales Ligma & Johnson are welcome back anytime

@unusual_whales I would like to apologize for firing these geniuses. Their immense talent will no doubt be of great use elsewhere.

@MuskUniversity (cue Obama giving himself a medal meme)

@MuskUniversity Exactly

@schrep Server control team knows because they stop working from time to time. That’s why they have the “critical 40” list.

@schrep True. Server side can (and has been) brute-forced, but that can’t solve weak Internet connections & older phones. Worth noting that Twitter in India & many other countries is slow even on latest iPhone.

@WholeMarsBlog Starlink is rebuilding the Internet in space, so maybe I know slightly more than some guy who wrote code for a website

@schrep There are ~1200 “microservices” server side, of which ~40 are critical to Twitter working at all, according to server control team. Trimming down that 1200 number, reducing data usage, serialized trips & simplifying app are all needed to improve speed of use.

@schrep Twitter is very slow in India, Indonesia & many other countries. This is fact, not “claim”. 10 to 15 secs to refresh homeline tweets is common. Sometimes, it doesn’t work at all, especially on Android phones. Only question is how much delay is due to bandwidth/latency/app.

@Umbisam Mr. Munger’s words are much appreciated

@mayemusk @Twitter @instagram @Fidias0 🤗

@minliangtan @wlopwangling Malenia battle was next-level intense

@minliangtan @wlopwangling Yes, although it seemed almost impossible at times

@waitbutwhy The ratings on this simulation are incredible

@wlopwangling Definitely

@Popeska @sampullara Why is Twitter unusably slow in many countries? Seems odd that this would be bandwidth only.

@micsolana Yeah, I hate it

By the People, For the People

Twitter is All the News

@NASASpaceflight Next test is ~20 sec firing with max oxygen fill to test autogenous pressurization, possibly one more static fire, then orbital launch attempt

@NASASpaceflight Test went well

@ChrisJBakke @TrungTPhan @nytimes 🤩

@_corywynn_ @TrungTPhan 🤣

@TrungTPhan Why the puff piece @nytimes?
