Uh oh!
Word is leaking out of Mar-a-Lago that President Trump may be delivering a major social media platform on which conservatives can chat away. There’s something hidden in the technology disruption shadows behind that rumor, so let’s explore it a bit.
Twitter. Facebook. The Washington Post. The New York Times.
People, there is no fancy technology at any of those sites; there is simply scale.
We are at the end of life for current silicon-based technology. Even the highly regarded Gartner Group in its 2021 technology forecasts said that companies need to understand silicon can no longer scale by adding faster circuits.
Companies need to look for an alternative to the current tech stack -- yes, the one used by all those Big Tech companies with scale.
Disruptive new tech stacks are coming to market. Some have been quietly accumulating customers for the last two years. More about that here if you care.
Twitter, Facebook, Amazon, and Google are the pinnacle of scaling the current tech stack. They spent billions of dollars building incredible data centers, honing algorithms, and bringing in armies of millennials to sit in cubicles all day, wearing their favorite tech logo wear and building scale.
Scale cannot survive technology disruption.
New tech stacks reduce the price of computing somewhere between 1/10th to 1/100th of the cost. They reduce the price of entry into any of these markets by factors of a thousand to a million, no exaggeration.
Don’t believe me?

The article makes what I think are excellent points. The tech is WAY outside my area of expertise, but does match what I have seen of tech trends in many areas.
Just day dreamin'....
A lot of wishful thinking (out loud) with no technical substance in the article.
“The President Trump Twitter equivalent is running on new technology that costs a fraction of what Twitter costs to run.”
OK, I’ll bite. What is this technology of which the author speaks?
The thought the same thing. What new technology are we talking about here? And Trump just submitted a request to be reinstated on Facebook and Instagram (but not Twitter)
I went to the author's website. No substance there either.

Sounds like quantum technology. Some freepers will be so upset. Nothing left to deny anymore. 😆
It was even better than that, but it has been true since the beginning of the 60s.
I have no idea what comes next, but one thing is certain, Trump comes with a loyal band of followers that number in the 10s of million, which can kick start any reasonable technological business endeavor.
I won't be surprised if he starts something in the people communication business, like a twatter, fakebook, instadram, tocktick or like hannity used to say, boom-boom.
Trump has loyal followers. Period.
"Get off my Internet!"
I’m not a techie but I wonder how StarLink would play in all this. Any Freeper input on this?
