Sometimes Elon stans call me out on Twitter when people post the "cars and rockets" post, demanding to know what stupid things Elon says about software.

Here's a primo example.

In this exchange, Elon thinks Adam Mosseri is adding rate limits to Threads just like he added them to Twitter, and that he "copied" Elon.

Anyone who understands software knows Adam is talking about WRITE rate limits to curb spam posts. Elon implemented READ rate limits in an application that relies on ad impressions.

Breakthrough in geothermal energy 👇👇

An US company managed to generate a whopping 3.5 megawatts of 100% RE electricity at a full-scale, 30-day test.

The plant will connect to the grid later this year and power Google's data centers and infrastructure throughout Nevada.

@caseynewton you know as well as anyone that downloads matter little compared to engagement. A decade ago the cw was you would rather have a small social app with lots of engagement than a big one with no engagement. If Threads releases some engagement metrics we’ll have a better idea of whether it will stick around

We also met with the amazingly professional Predator, Apache and Blackhawk pilots that were stationed there for training and deterrence purposes. It’s astonishing to me just how squared away these soldiers were – not a question I asked phased them.

About 109 billion people have lived & died. Each grain of sand represents 10 million.

This stunning data visualization of human life by Max Roser was published in 2022.

Today there would be 805 green grains representing 8.05 billion people living on Earth. #science #art

@ricmac I already know some Twitter users that I want to follow who started on Threads. When Threads adds AP, I will be able to stop logging into Twitter completely

One of the world's very strangest volcanoes, and easily one of my favorites is Kawah Ijen in Indonesia. These photos of lava are not color enhanced or photoshoped, the lava from Kawah Ijen is just that beautiful electric blue color. The lava is an incredible blue due to an extremely high sulfur content--because sulfur burns blue.

In normal volcanoes, you can sometimes catch the blue tint of volcanic gasses betraying the presence of sulfur coming into contact with oxygen, but at this volcano there is so much sulfur in the lava and air that it appears blue, and spits blue flames.

The crater during non eruptive periods is a sulfur mine, and you can find massive nearly pure sulfur crystals there. The crater lake of Ijen is enormously toxic and the sulfuric gasses in the crater can kill.
