Do a google search over time and this same head;ine is repeated every year for the past 25years years.
Could not agree more. Sad to realize what a clown this guy is

Re:Whatever you say about Elon's tenure, Twitter does ship now on Wednesday January 18, 2023 @01:36PM (#34430884)
Anyone can ship. Do people want to use new features, are people using it and is it effective ?
This is embarrassing as they had weeks to iron this out and didn’t.
Head of safety says removed but temporarily. But only after publicized and critiqued. Musk says never happened and to imitate trump ‘fake news’.

The erosion of trust on anything musk says continues to escalate.

Re:Only blue tick users to vote in Twitter polls on policy on Tuesday December 20, 2022 @12:11PM (#34068842)
This is all about validation of musk narrative. Had zero to do with democracy or free speech. Same as twitter is not a so call town square and a free speech zone. It is a private company with a leader that want to shape and direct a point of view.
Re:SpaceX Starlink Announces 1M Active Subscribers on Monday December 19, 2022 @06:27PM (#34059341)
These days any announcement from musk companies i wonder how real they are. I think the guy pushes agendas so hard and so many folks enamored with him that they would say anything wether any truth to it.
Times-of Israel banned for giving out assassination coordinates. !
Funny tik tok allowed.
Continue to see parallel between elon and howard hughes.

Super useless. Having folks focused on this vs self driving and other improvement is a waste. This is just marketing fluff
Re:Ask HN: Have you checked if you have sleep apnea? on Thursday December 08, 2022 @04:41PM (#33913917)
Had severe sleep apnea and used machine for over 10years. Loved it ! Would travel a ton internationally and always had it with me’ - even on Asia trips. I simply couldn’t function without it. Anyway had lapband surgery and loss hundreds of pound and found started to have sleep issuesagain. Turns out as lost weight needed to change pressure pumped by machine. So had to redo sleep studies to tweak setting and then started to work great again.

Several years back on last study was told i didn’t need the machine anymore. It actually was again affecting my sleep using it. It took me like two years to get back comfortable not using it. I was so happy that was hard to give up. I-still keep an eye and if start to have sleep issue will do another study and if need machine will be happy to get one again

So strongly suggest to do study vs just getting machine. Well worth it

All these elon stories all the time has gotten very tiresome.
Capitalisn at work
Companies care just about making money. Placing ads around tolerated or encouraged behavior like racist or facist is not something that has any benefit to them.
Users is not same as accounts.

How many of these are real ? I have lost any trust on Muskso do not even believe him

Re:How many times do you open HN each day? on Sunday November 20, 2022 @03:50PM (#33685138)
Newest tab, checking 3 or 4 times a day. This changed once deleted twitter and find it better / healthier. Before would check top stories once or every two days or so
Re:Apple Executive Phil Schiller Deactivates Twitter Account on Sunday November 20, 2022 @03:36PM (#33684994)
Running into many folks doing this. Hard to sit by and be part of suck a train wreck
Or 70-80% cant leave (ex. New mortgage, sickness, etc ) and delaying exit as they start to look at other opportunities elsewhere.
US healthcare is in shambles. Most people are a serious injury away from financial ruin. I cant see how to fix but cant see its continuation either
Re:Elon Musk's letter to all Twitter employees on Thursday November 17, 2022 @10:31AM (#33640282)
How can someone at twitter reconcile his public tweets VS these expectations ? If i get ask to sacrifice my personal health & time with family for what ? So elon can say he owns the libs ?
Re:I Am Tired of Elon on Thursday November 17, 2022 @10:18AM (#33640049)
His attention for attention has gotten old. He has done so many great things that is so sad to see what he has become. Hard to respect him these days
Every parent to be should read and adapt this approach
Count me in. Deactivated my account today.
It sure did to me. I started by learning basic, forth, pascal and 6502 assembler in the early 80s. Did tons of games, word processor and compiler projects. Then went to CS program had to deal with fortran and Cobol on projects that were not challenging. The intership i did ay[t a company supporting cobol maintenance sealed it there was zero way i could be a developer. Did many jobs from auditing, network engineer, product manager, etc until as gained seniority ended up managing development teams. Then i truly loved it once had the ability to shape direction of project. But funnythat never worked for the role fot. Degree on. However, getting tnat degree was key on my professional career
Re:I've hardly noticed inflation. Am I in a bubble? on Sunday April 17, 2022 @10:11PM (#31066562)
I recall reading that the biggest driver of the current inflation are used cars; fuel; new cars, housing and food.

If you have a house/appt and not buying a car - plus in tech and working from home , it is likely will see only impact on food. But then not that dramatic vs the high numbers being reported.
