Exactly. If you just took the subset of "My 5 favourite films", you could rank them from best to worst, but all of them would presumably still be 5 out of 5 on a rating scale in your eyes. Each is taken on its own merits in a rating scale - not relative to the others.

They'll remove one letter from the start of the name after each collapse and will just be called "Y" by the middle of next year.

Indeed. "Musk bought Twitter to win the election" has always struck me as retrofitted to the facts too. He was literally forced to do it after trying to back out. That doesn't strike me as someone with a grand plan for it.

I write code, and it's clearly a gamechanger here. However, it does do things in a way that will store up big future problems if you're not checking its work. I don't envy businesses deciding when to let trainees use it. If you've never learnt the right way, you're not going to catch the wrong way.

I read earlier that most of the high profile advertisers that left the platform are now back again, Apple included. Given the reasons they gave for leaving originally are even more acute now, you have to assume they've decided they might end up in the firing line if they continue to stay away.

I've already started noticing this when coding, although at least I know when it's getting it wrong (for now). The bigger worry is the generations coming in after me that won't have those skills in the first place. How do you know where it's going wrong if you don't know what right looks like?

The funny thing in this case is it's specifically because they tried to make it difficult for China to steal their idea by hiking the price of the chips to them that China had to innovate and come up with something better

I saw the title of today's News Agents was "Why have conspiracy theorists become suspicious of milk?" and my very first thought was "Yeah... I really don't miss Twitter"

I'd have thought if you don't get on with your kids, you probably won't worry too much what percentage of their inheritance will be taxed.

Admittedly, I sometimes have to do 3 passes of the aisle to secretly grab them avoiding the gaze of the people I'm fairly certain just wait there to tut at anyone picking them up. Self service checkouts are a furtive early mince pie eater's best friend.

Maybe this was Musk's endgame. Improve worker productivity by destroying Twitter from the inside. Conspiring with Zuckerberg to make the obvious replacement so insipid that working is preferable. Distraction always finds a way though.

Always on their terms as well. They never ask what their policies are on pensions or farming or AI.

I did the same, and discovered in the process that the neighbours no longer automatically assume I'm right and follow my lead like they used to. This is going to take some time to get over.
