I think the Reddit redesign deserves criticism. The redesign did nothing to improve or unify the UX between desktop and mobile while introducing a bunch of obnoxious dark patterns.

But Wikipedia is better for it's redesign. I think change is just difficult for some to accept.
I'd expect a good portion of deaths involve very expensive health care for the last few months or years of life.

Depends, lying is a "strange" move, but society doesn't reward honesty nor silence very much. Appearances on the other hand... I'm a naive truthist and almost ended up jobless. Meanwhile lazy but assertive people get hired on the spot and spend half their day on reddit. Society can distort you to that point.
No, not really. Equity loss is unrealized loss -- it's just on paper because the stock price is down. If Rivian's share price goes back up, that loss becomes a gain.

Whereas the $3B net profit is real money they can put into their coffers (or share with shareholders).

Edit: now if Rivian goes bankrupt and delists, then yes, at that point Amazon does lose however many $Bs they invested which they will put as a write-off.

They'll be down if everyone asks for a refund and they wind up losing years worth of revenue.
Let's hope that other people see it differently and have a more empathic response. I get what you are trying to communicate but realize that this was done without their control and in a way that instantly destroyed their business as it was. If you pile on and ask for a refund then you are making things much worse for them, and you did get value out of it in the past. The 'promised value' has been delivered, your beef is with Twitter, not with the developers.

Assumptions about their bank balance and 'that's business' are the wrong way to approach this.
> This isn't because most people don't like the changes, it's because outrage and anger go viral

That is a very good point I hadn't considered at all! How many people are going to be motivated to go online and rant about how much they love the new ${foo}? They're mostly just going to quietly go use ${foo} some more.

At some point I am confident that the mainstream use of the internet will evolve into something very similar to Tor. It will protect user privacy in ways that can't be defeated without machine access/user idiocy. We will look back on the days of our ISPs logging every single action we take, into perpetuity, to be forever used against you, as the dark ages.
Going to throw another hat into the ring here: I use acme-tiny [1], which is a single file ACME client written in Python in under 200 lines. The idea behind it is that you can fully read and understand everything it does without spending too much time on it. I really like this approach, so I went ahead and started using it, and have been for a few years now.

Yes, I did not particularly enjoy the two and a half years with that division!
Are you sure Alito is actually on record of having done it before? I know he was accused of doing it before, but as far as I can tell he never admitted it and no official investigation found any proof he did it. Am I missing something or are you jumping to a conclusion?

If I bought a Netflix subscription, I'd expect them to provide the Netflix service. If I bought a TV with a Netflix app on it, I wouldn't expect a partial refund from the people who sold me the TV. Do you honestly not see these two things are different?

One is "I paid for a service" and the other is "I paid for something to help me use a service".
I assume there's too much airflow to use a urea-based filter like adblue or something in a home stove.

Though, if you could get the stove exhaust to pass through some liquid anyway (like the bubbler in a bong, but larger), wouldn't that deal with particulates effectively?
We're working on making all the data from the Transparency in Coverage Act open source to whatever extent possible.

I wrote here about our efforts to make this work and what we found: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34445914

The following query will return all the prices for the billing code 85032 (manual red blood cell count) that are greater than $10:

> select npi, reporting_entity_name, reporting_entity_type, negotiated_rate from npi_rate join (select id, insurer_id, negotiated_rate from rate where ( (code_id in (select id from code where billing_code = 85032)) and (negotiated_rate)) y on y.id = npi_rate.rate_id inner join insurer on insurer.id = insurer_id order by negotiated_rate;

This is being built as we speak and will slowly grow over the next few weeks. You can join the effort in building it or you can explore and tell me what you find. alec@dolthub.com
The person asking the question is frequently not the person with the knowledge to determine this.

So I am not a lawyer, and if you do this stuff you should get a real lawyer (I mean, I have lots of real lawyers! ;P), but I am on the front lines of a lot of these battles (look into who I am if you haven't; hell: I've had Snapchat once try to come after people in my ecosystem, and the only thing their lawyers had as an argument was trademark law... I easily shoved them away), and I am going to claim Twitter would have no legs to stand on. At best--at BEST--they could ban you and all of your company accounts from their service.
But: you did receive it. You received it immediately when you paid for it. And you've used it in the meantime and presumably derived value from it otherwise you would have asked for a refund immediately upon delivery.
These juvenile and facile retorts do not elevate the discourse, nor are they a good look. As a long-time OpenBSD developer you have a lot of smart things to say about technical subjects, including kernels specifically, and I wish you would leave the dumb snarky comments unwritten.
Unauthorized “gray” third-party clients were a more viable option in the days when vendors couldn’t easily update first-party client program installations in the wild, so the API had to be backwards compatible.

But it’s not really like that for Twitter. They can do rapid updates to the iOS and Android apps, and any holdovers of old client versions would be a relatively small segment.

I recall Microsoft tried to build and maintain their own YouTube client for Windows Phone around 2011-12. That’s probably the last time a major tech company tried this approach and it was out of massive desperation. Google seemed to make a special effort to break the app.
> Why does Twitter need to be involved on the client side with consumption of the API?

They don't need to be involved, they want to be involved, and they have the legal backing to do so.
You could, the technology exists. The reason hydrogen fuel cells never caught on is because the production of hydrogen doesn't make economic and environmental sense. Which gets back to the root of problem with the OP claims.
I read recently about Francis Bacon’s scientific method. It was not the modern method. It focused more on creating lists of contrasting cases, focusing on inductive reasoning. Honestly, I didn’t entirely understand. Robert Hooke had a method, too, which he described as a philosophical “superstructure.”

Some variety in how knowledge is automatically/systematically developed seems important.
I had zoom on at 150% and it doesn't show that button. Thanks.
It’s not ‘Twitter’ showing no respect. Let’s stop beating around the bush, it’s one person.
It's only possible to guess beforehand what you want by wasting considerable time. Look at modern society and how much time they spend pursuing happiness, yet still, nobody knows what they want.

There's a well-known quote from a singer in Argentina that claims, "No se lo que quiero pero lo quiero ya." (translated into I don't know what I want, but I want it now)
I went through the process of getting TS clearance the summer after my senior year of college, and I made the mistake of mentioning on my form that I drank alcohol with friends every weekend, and that I sometimes drank more than a few drinks in one night. At the time I figured this was the norm for people my age and thought nothing of it.

Unfortunately that was a big red flag for the investigators, and they interviewed 5-6 of my college friends asking about my behavior and whether or not I had a drinking problem. Very silly if you ask me but fortunately didn't seem to delay the process much.
Gawk added facilities for writing extensions, but I don't see how to use it as a library. Funny I never thought of it, considering how much I like awk, but using awk instead of Lua as an embedded extension language sounds appealing.

A big reason is that you work at the same company working to the same goals. Your "job" is probably more than just answering contextless questions.

A questioner asking "how do I get all of the emails from the production database?" certainly does warrant some additional probing and "what's a regex for valid emails?" might need a "don't do that, we need the validity of emails to be consistent across services even at the expense of correctness so..."
Talent archetypes: What is the “shape” of your skills?

They aren't badly in denial. They KNOW exactly how grifty the whole thing is. They KNOW that things like mpesa and similar exist in a lot of the supposedly developing world, and that the US banking infrastructure being stupid is more a matter of lacking policy than lacking technology. They KNOW that stupid "play to earn" game only really gave a few thousand people in the Philippines an income, while thousands and thousands more spent hundreds of real dollars to buy in and play and spend over ten hours a day "playing" a "game" that is closer to a slot machine than anything else. They KNOW that concept was no different to trying to earn a living by buying, opening, and selling CS:GO cases.

They don't care, or ignore these things, because eventually everyone figures out that there's not much to do with or for crypto that isn't scamming someone out of money or providing a vague crypto adjacent service. Nobody wants to buy regular products with crypto because for normal people, it is a pain in the ass to participate in crypto without getting scammed, and for crypto diehards, they know any dollar spent in the crypto ecosystem is inefficient because they are often purposely deflationary assets. They know that they spent a shitload of their savings on shitcoins, and that if the crypto world continues to struggle, that's an existential threat to them. They know that people NEED to buy in so that the price can go back up so they can cash out and save themselves. It's no different from desperate people in an MLM getting pushy with their facebook friends because they have $2000 in credit card debt buying Dotera product to stay "in their tier" or whatever nonsense the particular MLM uses, and the only way to get money back out of it is to become a conman.
Deleting Unused Online Accounts
Not quite. The guy who wrote Tor can be clearly seen to have been studying a lot of these things in the later 90s, and it was pretty much always public, but only developed after he got the Navy to get him an NSF grant. Hell, in one slide he had made back then, he was even well-aware of some of the fundamental vulnerabilities in the protocol, and the (still too expensive) mitigations for those flaws, so it can't even be said that anything was concealed.

If we go back further to the original concept of chained anonymous remailers as envisioned by Chaum 40 years ago, it gets even harder to claim something like this.
I apologize if this comes across as a snarky tangent, but I'm genuinely curious if law firms would even contract with Twitter now, given Musk's willingness to not pay bills.
We have no idea what would’ve happened in a counter-factual scenario. The draft opinion is the first time the whole court sees the reasoning on paper. Even if the narrow holding doesn’t change, the reasoning used and the sweep of the rule articulated can and does change.
Why would they cover up that beautiful machine with an ugly gray box?

The real question is whether this lack strong of auditability is due to IT incompetence or by deliberate design.

You can do a lot more with the ability to display using the whole field of vision. That's just a fact. If you can also use better control systems (gestures, etc) and interact with a visual environment those are also big benefits. You're right that the glasses form factor can't get near that right now, but we know that headsets can (like the Quest).

I am also of the opinion that Apple really messed up the watch ecosystem by locking it down so much. They prevented us from fully utilizing web browsing, text messaging, wouldn't allow spotify streaming for years, etc, not because of the watch being incapable, but because they wanted to maintain their walled garden and didn't trust watch owners to be able to type on a watch. If they allowed these things the watch would have been much more successful.
> That’s all I see in crypto speculation. It’s a game that involves shuffling money between players, without actually creating new wealth.

Just shuffling money between players is downplaying it.

"Crypto" often just sends "value" to the bitbucket either intentionally or because of operational errors.

Can you provide any citation for them having "legal backing"? I literally participate in hearings at the Copyright Office at the Library of Congress over people providing adversarial interoperability and I have never seen any functional legal argument against such.
I don't see a change to language, per se, that would have helped, really.

A system with more of an object capabilities model could have helped, though. The goal wasn't really "let the user run their editor as root (when they ask for it)", but "let the user work with this particular file from their editor (when they ask for it)".

The Weather apps in the latest versions of iOS, iPadOS, and macOS are very obviously re-styled versions of DarkSky. They even rebranded and released the API.

That’s literally all I mentioned in my orig comment.
I don't know the company, but there was one sold in a local toy shop some years ago. The idea was that this was essentially one "slice" of a pond, think of a very thin aquarium tank that was in the window. It had been seeded with a variety of small plants, algae, tiny critters and the like.

Meant to be a closed system, where it was all what was inside the glass, plus the sunlight from putting it in the window. Very cool, you could see tiny things swimming around in there.
It used to have better connotations (such as when coming a good sysadmin), than it got from the same phrase being used on, say, StackOverflow.
If the result is “sitting on a shelf unused”, yes, both $3000 and $400 devices are equally capable of that. (As my own history of excited gadget purchases bears testimony…)

The point was, if you’re unsure whether you actually would keep using it, the Quest is a much cheaper way to scratch that VR/XR urge.
Something that I think is pretty important to keep in mind is that when handling a possible XY problem, the key is communication. It is good to ask clarifying questions and questions about context when answering a question. It is good to provide context and be open to the possibility that your question is misguided when asking. Insisting that there isn't or isn't and XY problem and being condescending or combative is bad when asking/answering. I suspect part of the reason this link is so controversial is because the "hero" of the stories screws this up horribly.
> We are sorry to say that the app’s sudden and undignified demise is due to an unannounced and undocumented policy change by an increasingly capricious Twitter – a Twitter that we no longer recognize as trustworthy nor want to work with any longer

I understand that many people are angry about recent Twitter changes. This rightly so, because many 3rd party apps are obviously a huge time investment and people have bought apps. This seems unjust.

However, with all the recent disclosures about Twitter shadowbanning, deboosting, deamplifying, banning, and viewpoint censoring, I cannot help but feel that Twitter has always been capricious.

It is only now that we are recognizing it : the unfortunate reality that a private company controls a defacto public square.
It's interesting to consider all of the wild and toxic substances that artists have worked with throughout the millennia. In addition to explaining the chemical properties of the art, such substances maybe go a long way in explaining the behavior of the artists.
Is there a way to make it sticky? I have to repress the button on every new article I open.
To be honest, I expect Elon and Twitter will be discontinued at some point, without any good feelings and thanks on the part of any of their customers, unlike the app developers Twitter just killed.

What is needed is to do Twitter again, in some way that is more open and supportive of client apps, but still has the immediacy and global search that Twitter has. Mastodon has its uses, but it isn't a real replacement. Twitter was always a terrible business, but an incredibly useful idea. The idea needs to exist.

I think there are two key questions here:

(1) Exactly what did the user pay for?

If it's an app that promises to provide access to Twitter, then I'd think the app developer is responsible for making the necessary arrangements with Twitter to uphold that promise.

If it's an app that promises to make a best-effort attempt to use Twitter's public APIs, then a refund doesn't sound reasonable.

(2) Should the user consider this a simple business relationship, or something more personal? I.e., even if a case could be made for a refund, should that matter?
