The SVB thing is exacerbated by the fact that such a huge chunk of their users are on Twitter all day. Amplifies the panic in a way that hasn’t really happened historically, and would be unlikely to happen if they served a less thinkboi segment.

This is why, even now, I’ve never succumbed to hubris regarding the dangers of Covid. We REALLY want it to be “just a cold,” but it’s not a cold. It’s neurological, and it’s stealthier than us. Those who have friends with “long Covid” know it’s no joke: https://t.co/Lv23uBQKtd

I know a guy who cancels all his employee credit cards randomly, once a year.

Finds that ~50% of expenses disappear. All kinds of stuff was auto-renewing but folks don’t care enough about to re-sign up for.

Claims to save six figs / year each time he does it.

Very Private Network

Funny, things you take for granted.

Autocratic regimes can take offense at the flimsiest of things. But the lure to lurk is extreme among the citizenry. People want to know. People want to talk. People want to share information.

A very private network can be a nightmare to bureaucratic regimes. They can pretend to look the other way.

Until a tipping point is reached, and the people revolt.
