Isn't it true we've only tested superconducting materials at very low temps? Perhaps their robustness falls tremendously when not hundreds of degrees in the negative

I've only seen one picture of an alleged successful replication yet: https://twitter.com/iris_IGB/status/1685731177523449856

Since Twitter is no longer allowing public access to posts, it would be better to not link to it. Or better yet, re-post the tweet somewhere else and link to that.

They backpedaled on that and restricted it to single tweets.

So if not logged in you can see a single tweet now but no longer threads.

This is a very different experiment.

Where? I haven't seen that in her twitter feed.

The report I had of it was false, sorry. Ignore the above.

If you scroll far enough he says he can't purchase Red Phosphorus without a DEA license or waiting weeks for a permit

Prettier Rust does a good job at improving readability

You can with the "uBlacklist" extension

I believe nowadays they have automatic sprays for bakery smells, I saw a documentary about it like 10 years ago

Facebook had 9000 employees in 2014. Over 70,000 today.

Twitter yesterday was about 7500?

It's crazy the number of people on HN somehow claiming that Twitter is this well run and well functioning tech company now that bad rocket man took the reigns and decided to lay off everyone... Isn't it a consensus among tech people that Twitter is the absolute worst tech company?

Twitter was a bit shit. But its up and running more or less in real time for millions of users. Thats pretty impressive. Its business is shit, yes.

Musk looks like hes done the classic: "the office is clean why do I need cleaners" dance. I am surprised he can fire that many people that quickly and still expect momentum.

It doesn't help that he appears to be shitting out product ideas that he's just "dreamt" up. Rather than talking to people to see why twitter didn't do it in the first place. He clearly has a low opinion of the entire company.

There's a ton of websites that are up and running for millions of users. That should be table stakes for running an online service.

I think a lot of people viewed Twitter as poorly-monetized and -managed as product and business, but generally competitive as a technical organization.

Not really. It's been known for a while that the tech side of Twitter is incredibly low-performing.

Over the years in various hiring threads it's been common to describe Twitter as the giant tech comapny you go to when you can't get hired anywhere else. Twitter has definitely had a reputation for a long time for being bloated and filled with less-than-competent employees. It's only earlier this year that I've seen the discussion shift towards this idea of Twitter being a competent group.

> Isn't it a consensus among tech people that Twitter is the absolute worst tech company?

I don't think so. I see far more hate towards Meta and Amazon.

In my experience, Russian propaganda is more about extrapolating things well out of order rather than fabricating fake news. They also omit facts against their side, but that's a constant for mass media.

Russian sources love to speak of the enemy in general as holder of a certain ideology. They also like to repeat that civilian casualties and destroyed buildings are unilaterally caused by the other side, mostly by bombing the places they retreat from.

The first claim is obviously wrong since Ukrainians are just defending themselves. I've only heard proof of the second from eyewitness testimonies, yet I've seen real footage of Russian tanks firing at 20-story buildings and hysterical volunteers taking turns at blasting RPGs in empty, silent streets.

I've noticed that every source of information I find particularly trustworthy and meaningful ends up getting corrupt and re-purposed for malicious intent.

For instance, I strongly believe that the process of corrupting Wikipedia has started and in a few years time we'll read articles about how troll farms altered a massive number of wiki articles about certain topics to revise historical facts.
