MAGA, MAGA, you guys are nuts. Twitter is still using its v1.0 core. Ever since it’s start up, their engineers have kept tweaking, changing and adding code. T’s engineers have said that they will eventually have to design an entirely new system. That will be fun. What happened in this case is that one of their engineers tweaked the code which resulted in a crash that cascaded throughout the system.
So if you had epilepsy, Parkinson’s, were paralyzed etc. you’d say no to an FDA approved device that could alleviate your malady? If I had such a condition and with the advice of my physician, I’d certainly consider it, especially since the trials would cost the volunteers nothing.
Brain implants are hardly something new. Neural stimulation has been going on for over fifty years snd since 1997 have been used to ease the symptoms of such diseases as epilepsy, Parkinson’s disease, dystonia and depression. Recently in Switzerland a 40 year old man paralyzed from the waist down for the last 12 years was able to walk again with a neural bridge implant. These are medical devices and Elon’s Neuralink is exactly that. Certainly more sophisticated with added and specifically designed capabilities. If you’re not suffering from paralysis, epilepsy or some other malady why are you concerned. What, you think it’s some kind of mind control device? That’s idiotic.
Here’s one example of the difference between private efficiency and government incompetence and waste. Pretty many people are familiar with this story.
NYC’s wolf an ice skating rink was in terrible shape and was closed down in 1980. The city under Koch budgeted $4.7 million for repair but after six years and $12 million over budget it was still far from done. Then in June 1986 Donald Trump volunteered to get the Rick repaired and running by Christmas. Koch, who really hated Trump, reluctantly under pressure turned control over to Trump. A bare four months later on November 1, the rink was fully repaired and opened to the public.
From the beginning of his presidency until December 2019, Trump basically did the same thing with the USA and had the country booming across all economic and social measures.
