Terribly misleading headline. The rule actually:

-Removes requirements for things like mirrors for autonomous delivery vehicles

-Changes references to things like "drivers side" for autonomous vehicles

Obviously if you're releasing something that benefits from network effects like a social media app, then size >> everything, and you want to maximize possible audience.

@flancian @aly

I mostly agree but I think that if you're early in a product cycle it makes sense to focus on one platform for versatility and agility as you continue to evolve the app. Lots of things change in the first year or two. And it seems like it's almost always better for an app to start with high-prestige users and have them be the aspirational model user that the plebs can then follow.

@aly @flancian Of course, I would expect a vile, sinful cishet white male power structure like Twitter to be systematically biased against the black and brown people in the developing world.

@mattparlmer Guaranteed Maik Pains is a blocker on that. And given all the resignations, I think a majority of the cabinet would be even less likely to vote in favor of a 25A removal than before.

It seems that nonhuman primates don't learn to use currency to trade with conspecifics, because they don't trust each other, out of uncertainty that the other side will keep its end of the bargain. The fairness of the deal needs human oversight.

And on the pedestal, these words appear:

“Welcome to Ozymandia Mall
All you need under one roof—it’s all here!”

Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of this colossal wreck, boundless and weird,
The broken, echoing halls stretch far away.
