I'm always interested in what Kelsey has to say but Solomon was right when he said that Twitter was the wrong medium for this debate. This is a perfect example of the Twitter-is-fucked story that topped HN the other day. It is impossible to carry on a coherent argument in 140 character sputters. When I read Kelsey's questioning the first time, I could not make sense of it...and then realized that Twitter was presenting it in reverse chronological order and I was reading it backwards.<p>I greatly miss mailing lists as a format for discussions like this. The latency involved encouraged the participants to organize their thoughts carefully before sending them to the world.
I remember when Microsoft was on trial for abusing its monopoly, they ran ads with Bill Gates saying they needed to be able to "innovate"—a euphemism for their famous tactic of embrace, extend, and extinguish. Funny to see people using the same language here. I'm guessing I'm not the only one who was writing software in the '90s and still has a bad taste in their mouth from that word.
