From the Hacker News thread
To save people some time, here’s the tweet: twitter.com/quinetweet/status/130995104… In essence, the approach was: * Find out what the tweet id is of a recent tweet * Find out what a tweet is shortly after * Estimate the rate of new tweets appearing * Publish a tweet with a reference to a tweet with a now+guess id The write up is well done and interesting but a little long winded.
