Elon (@elonmusk), this should be brought to your attention
The Twitter API v2 endpoints break every day
Here are the issues:
- Apps constantly get detached from projects and thus revoke access to data
- Users need to reauthorize applications
- GET followers/following is broken
And we're not getting any information back from @TwitterDev or @TwitterSupport on how to proceed
Pretty troubling experience for $100 a month
Please help us build on top of Twitter. We're making cool things!

The potato paradox is a mathematical calculation that has a counter-intuitive result.
"You have 100kg of potatoes, which are 99% water by weight. You let them dehydrate until they're 98% water. How much do they weigh now?"
The surprising answer is 50kg

@TwitterAPI @TwitterDev We had to create a new app yesterday, but our old app (built in 2009) had elevated POST access. We filled in the support form. Can someone fix our POST access please? This is very urgent, our service is broken right now. (App: 26888958). Please Please Please

No iPhone.
No tablet.
No laptop.
He just sat there.
Drinking coffee.

A history lesson for people who think that history doesn't matter:
What's the big deal about railroad tracks?
The US standard railroad gauge (distance between the rails) is 4 feet, 8.5 inches. That's an exceedingly odd number.
Why was that gauge used?
Well, because that's the way

My wife asked me why I was speaking so softly at home.
I told her I was afraid Mark Zuckerberg was listening!
She laughed. I laughed.
Alexa laughed. Siri laughed.

1. Mine stock picking thread. My clarified thoughts, thread will grow. First, mining as a business sucks. High CAPEX, geological risk, grade risk, process risk, financing risk, lying mgt. risk, political risk. I entered this area in 2008 as a response to the GFC. – at Wellesley, MA

Early drones
111 years ago pigeons where used for aerial photography. This was a time where people weren't used to seeing the world from that perspective. A curious little side note in the #history of geographical exploration. Source: buff.ly/2GWQmwk
