I agree, OP. We all know Twitter has the newest cutting edge technology on the planet! Every ounce of information must be reported on about the company here.
My favorite technology is bronze smelting.
What about you guys?
Do you smelt bronze from bars or can you smelt directly from ores?
The plow. The greatest of all inventions.
I personally feel the trebuchet is the pinnacle of engineering, which is the superior siege weapon.
Ah, but how did the designer of the first trebuchet have time to perfect their design? Someone else grew extra food for them. How did the farmer produce this surplus bounty? By using the plow!
But you're right, the trebuchet is indeed the superior siege weapon.

Twitter is a stage for attention and the "news" posted here is more about the ego than the technical aspects of the stage.
I want to post a non-news idea I had about verifying people online, though with Google's current destructive proposal for a web standard in the headlines, I am admittedly a bit worried it's going to get conflated.
The idea would be that it serves the same kind of purpose as what a company would ever need - verifying that someone is a unique person, verifying that they are over a certain age - only when the user volunteers that info, and without actually giving said online company actual information about them.
When I read the headlines about such systems being attempted by game companies or web companies, it basically comes with a "Trust us!" caveat that I can't imagine anyone following. BUT, they at least give some respectable PR language about how such things might be useful to combat harassment, fake accounts, etc, and it does give me some ideas. The internet is kind of a limitless place, but having no limits for everyone is in some ways a limitation in itself.
So, I'm curious if people would actually want threads like that in this Community instance.
