@GordonAChaffin @pwthornton Oh yes fair - just thinking about my experience this week — PolitiTweet.org

nilay patel @reckless

@GordonAChaffin @pwthornton Oh sure. But the car itself is great, and if you put in the charger at home this chicken / egg problem resolves itself over time imo — PolitiTweet.org

@BriannaWu @sokane1 @BeccaFarsace Depends on the drive mode: in “whisper” it’s just another crossover, in “unbridled” it is very very fun to drive. And in this color it gets endless looks and questions for sure — PolitiTweet.org

@brunocyr The volume knob? It should definitely be there, physical controls are great — PolitiTweet.org

@tobyadams If we didn’t have a toddler for sure, but it’s a little too small for all the stuff we are always lugging around — PolitiTweet.org

@NicDiBella It’s a tremendous first EV for Ford, and super fun to drive. Probably a little too small for us given toddler life tho — PolitiTweet.org

@BriannaWu We already did a terrific @sokane1 / @BeccaFarsace review: https://t.co/WS5vy1VWew No disagreements from me, really - I probably drove it a little more aggressively out here in the woods tho ;) — PolitiTweet.org

Giving the Mustang Mach-E back today, which is very sad. Terrific car, charging network needs built out, etc etc why can’t I use CarPlay and see the full radio interface at the same time on a screen this size cmon people https://t.co/IVoq3RzbS1 — PolitiTweet.org

@alexanderwood @fontiago We'd all save a lot of energy by not ever using GPUs at all, though — PolitiTweet.org

nilay patel @reckless

@fontiago 1. I wish anyone could quantify that feeling for real! It would be very helpful because 2. Not every blockchain tech is the same power-wise and 3. Blockchain folks generally motivated to reduce their power usage because it is a profit-reducing cost to them, unlike gamers — PolitiTweet.org

nilay patel @reckless

@fontiago I don’t disagree but we run those same graphics cards at massive scale to animate a plumber jumping on mushrooms to defeat a dinosaur so the utility argument is a little iffy imo — PolitiTweet.org

@adamlisagor (Also I think we both know one person who has VERY specific casino preferences, and I am a significant outlier in that I love casinos but do not gamble) — PolitiTweet.org

nilay patel @reckless

@adamlisagor All except for the people who own the banks and casinos! Sometimes they do things to make their banks and casinos seem really interesting and vibrant, like buying expensive artwork at auction. https://t.co/uTquwJGMne — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Gronkowski is not minting NFTs because he cares about trustless computing lol — PolitiTweet.org

I agree with this very good thread except for this point, which I will counter by saying most people do not give a shit about decentralization; they just like money. And gambling. — PolitiTweet.org
