It’s a double issue of @platformer today. First up, @ZoeSchiffer has the story of how the company botched an effort to get rid of bots over the weekend. platformer.news/p/how-elon-b…
The project was part of Elon Musk’s attempt to rid Twitter of spam. But rather than work to remove individual offenders, the company identified mobile networks associated with large spam networks in specific countries, and blocked users who relied on those networks from receiving SMS messages from Twitter, impacting people with two-factor authentication. Then it blocked traffic from those carriers completely. From 5:35 AM to 6:45 AM PT on Sunday, Twitter shut down access to the primary telecom providers in India and Russia, as well as the second biggest telecom company in Indonesia, Platformer has learned. Almost immediately, complaints started to roll in, as legitimate users found they were unable to access Twitter.

THREAD: what happened to Chapelle and Musk? I have a friend named @TamerKattan who told me a story I’ll never forget. First, he’s one of my favorite comedians - go see him if you get a chance. I’ve learned a lot from him. This is just one such lesson. 1/

Putin knows exactly which buttons to push to fire up the right. Releasing Griner and not Whelan is him demonstrating that point. He doesn’t need to fight us when he can make us fight each other.

I'm heartbroken to share this news about our dear friend and colleague, @ChrisGSeaton.
Screenshot of a message from Shopify's Ruby and Rails Infrastructure team that includes: Our dear friend and colleague Chris Seaton passed away last Saturday, December 3rd. Chris was an important part of our team at Shopify, and a notable figure in the Ruby community, and we are deeply saddened by our collective loss. Chris accomplished much in his life. He completed a Ph.D., rose to be Squadron Leader in the British Army Reserve, and started a young family. Chris began the TruffleRuby project in 2013 as an intern at Oracle Labs and stewarded it into a full-fledged Ruby implementation. Chris advanced the state of the art in dynamic language optimization, co-authoring 16 publications, contributing to countless others, and establishing both the Ruby Bibliography archive of Ruby research publications and the Ruby Compiler Survey. For his efforts, he was a Ruby Prize finalist in 2016. Chris’s papers, essays, and code contributions are currently archived at chrisseaton.com.

Walker’s path is narrowing as more GOP strongholds come in — and big D bastions remain outstanding. Walker must rely on huge exurban gains and low Election Day turnout in metro Atlanta. One R strategist threw in the towel. “It’s all over but the counting.” #gapol #gasen – at Atlanta, GA

Today’s the day, Georgia! Time to #VoteWarnock in the #GASenateRunoff, if you haven’t already 🗳✅🙌 Loved chatting #gapol with the inimitable @AliciaMenendez & @EugeneDaniels2 on @MSNBC to discuss the stakes in today’s election. Here’s a link: m.youtube.com/watch?v=HhBw7V…

The Federalist Society claims to defend the Constitution. Donald Trump, the ex-president with whom the Society worked so closely, has just attacked the Constitution in an incendiary way. Do the Federalist Society or its members have a word to say in defense of our Constitution?

In case y’all missed this from a few weeks ago. Musk is doing the same shit as Assange, Giuliani, Snowden, and Guccifer 2.0 before him, all of whom were Kremlin cutouts and amplified by the *same* people. Cut the crap and use your brains. politico.com/news/magazine/2…

In the last 3 months US unemployment, uninsured and poverty rates have hit all time lows. All time lows. GDP growth has also been more than 3 times what it was under Trump. 7/

I mentor a young lad with poor literacy skills who is starting a landscaping business. He struggles to communicate with clients in a professional manner. I created a GPT3-powered Gmail account to which he sends a message. It responds with the text to send to the client.

At a dinner with top engineers. Not a single one thinks they’ll return to an office — and all refuse to accept anything lower than SF level compensation.
