Twitter is centralized platform where people down own their data. We need to think how to make open protocols better in order to improve the decentralized web
As if email is any better? Just because you delete all your mail from your inbox, doesn't mean the requisite copies in your sender/recipient inboxes are deleted. Decentralized doesn't necessarily mean data ownership.
Data ownership is just one aspect. However i don't think twitter is good comparison to email at all. Email is for private communications and twitter is public social network.
I'd like to know how you don't receive spam calls to your mobile # as the robo-dialers just go through the entire list of phone numbers in that area code, so you have to receive some to that device. I do the same as you but with Skype instead of GV, but my mobile # gets hosed by robo-dialers.
Because while it's a common assumption that the spam callers do this, they don't actually do this, because while robocalling is sometimes illegal, actually dialing every single number removes any/all plausible deniability if they're ever caught, and provides little/no additional benefit.

It sure looks like they do. Spammers have been calling our office lines daily (including numbers that aren't assigned to anyone and aren't given out). The spam calls come in numerical sequence. They're clearly just working through every possible phone number, in sequence.
I also have carrier-based (free) spam prevention which may prevent the POTS equivalent of a port-scan. But that wasn't enough - with GV based call screening, it's now down to near-zero.

Yep, hence why this article is just clickbait for Tesla haters. Every Tesla owner is fully aware that it's not self-driving in the sense that you can take a nap.
Yeah that ascii art with three swastikas really added to the discourse. That and the second comment “your mom is Facebook” made me think the Algonquin round table had come back to life.
FWIW, showdead on HN does not surface a whole lot other than SPAM. Most of the difference here appears to be a defacto level of professionalism, which seems to be mostly enforced by politely telling people to not do silly things. For all the criticisms you could have about Hacker News and SV culture in general, I will give it one thing: It is definitely one of the most civil and best moderated communities on the internet that I'm aware of right now. That's actually more sad than anything, but it is what it is.
