It wasn’t about video length, it was about the Twitter leadership at that time being categorically incapable of monetizing any of their products.
Combine that with the orders-of-magnitude higher cost of running Vine compared to the bird, and it was always either going to be sold off or shut down.
It’s easy to forget that this was back in the time when these companies thought they were changing the planet for the better and drinking their own Kool aid by the gallon.
Great summary, but I want to point out that the reality of why they’re doing this is to pander to racist voters who were told their opinion by a highly effective villification campaign against this woman in tabloid newspapers.
Once these things gain traction, politicians always kowtow to the loudest public opinions
I hope he takes this firing as a window of opportunity. With the right attitude he can really ground himself.
Woah, where does the US have preclearance? I thought it was nonexistent
I tried to refuse pay for on call recently as it has tax implications that I didn’t want to do deal with, but my employer refused.

In my previous house, the v1 prototype was wired straight to the boiler as there was no previous thermostat. In the current house, the v2 is wired to the Honeywell, so one can override the other as they are in parallel.

My setup is a bit different but I had a lot of fun putting it together. I have a D1 mini with a switch hat wired into the boiler.
The D1 runs a tiny web server that lets me turn the heating on and off. Then I have a bunch of ZigBee thermostats around the house that provide a fuzzy average temperature.
Then I have a custom dash in hass that displays pretty much what a hive would display.
Whole setup cost about $20 and has been running nonstop for over 5 years!
They’re advertising on TV in the UK, so guessing they’re at least at preorder stage.
And that his fans are paying full attention and eating up every word?
It’s long dead. Thankfully (sort of), our police force is a bunch of untrained sex offenders so a medium size crowd is basically unstoppable.
I don’t know a single person who reads it who hasn’t previously, actively voted against their own interests.
I would definitely post this directly on the hass forums if you haven’t already
You know what Viktor? Even kids can work out what’s going on in Ba Sing Se. Which makes you dumber than a small child.
