Twilio seems to be alright.

They have an example on how to send an SMS using their API in Java:

// Install the Java helper library from twilio.com/docs/java/install

import com.twilio.Twilio;
import com.twilio.rest.api.v2010.account.Message;
import com.twilio.type.PhoneNumber;

public class Example {
    // Find your Account SID and Auth Token at twilio.com/console
    // and set the environment variables. See http://twil.io/secure
    public static final String ACCOUNT_SID = System.getenv("TWILIO_ACCOUNT_SID");
    public static final String AUTH_TOKEN = System.getenv("TWILIO_AUTH_TOKEN");

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Twilio.init(ACCOUNT_SID, AUTH_TOKEN);
        Message message = Message.creator(
                new com.twilio.type.PhoneNumber("+15558675310"),
                new com.twilio.type.PhoneNumber("+15017122661"),
                "Hi there")
            .create();

        System.out.println(message.getSid());
    }
}

Here's the full guide.

But why use bad tools when good tools could be used instead?

He never said that those are bad websites. He just said that better tools could be used to make them.

He addresses that in the last line:

Monarchy is good, but even better: Can you build a high trust decentralized society?

He's basically saying that a decentralized society would be best but if that's not possible then letting a capable person like Musk take over the current system would be good enough.

No problem! If you want to read more of his stuff make sure to read the rest of his blog. That should only take you around and hour since most of his posts are quite short and easy to understand. While most of the other posts don't talk about the wireheading city I still think you will find them interesting since this guy has quite a number of interesting ideas.

I see where you are coming from. You might find this and this article interesting. Let me know what you think! I'm not their author by the way. They were written by George Hotz.
