@Brianwmsn @paul At this point they were keen enough to get fully off Intel that they were willing to ship this compromised machine.

Time will tell (e.g., the 3nm move) whether the Jade 4C quad die happens, or if this is the ~end of the line of the Mac Pro.

@John @leo @henryfarrell @mmasnick Fair; I think Huffman thinks he can thread the needle more intelligently than Twitter, which is probably not a high bar to meet. As it stands most subreddits are reopening now.

I suspect the underlying pressure is that Reddit has been burning money for a long time, and now that interest rates are high and credit is expensive, he’s going to pursue revenue, damn the torpedoes, full steam ahead.

@John @leo @henryfarrell @mmasnick He *did* get it, but not in the way you want: Elon did X terrible things, including locking down the API, and large graphs of people did not leave.

In fact, if Elon wasn’t a MAGA at this point, even fewer people might have migrated away to other social networks.

@feorlen @ai6yr I’d go further and say Southwest’s business model is literally designed for this kind of use case: business day trips. Frequent service between cities 1-2 hours away, no change fees. Lots of people are doing this.

The amount of ‘commuters’ you see between SoCal and NoCal alone is staggering. The right (=sustainable) solution would be HSR, but of course the airlines lobby heavily against it (along with NIMBYs and others).
