> In that case "make your profile private if you don't want to be harassed/stalked" is not really that palatable. If someone is harassing you on twitter, then blocking them still stops that, modulo them making a new a

"Can be seen by anyone in the world except for tom because fuck tom" isn't a different "level of public", it's just caprice. As the GP mentioned, if you want to restrict who can see your tweets, set your accoun

There are two >100 comment/vote stories from them in the past two weeks, according to algolia. Maybe the others are being unfairly treated, but that seems pretty good to me.

Natural language syntaxes universally suck. A faux english syntax isn't easier to use if you don't know which english in particular will be accepted. A complex cli interface fundamentally can't be easy to use. A GUI can fix t

Is it a head on collision? The first angle in the video makes it look like it is, but the second angle makes it clearer that its actually hitting from an angle. It seems to be close to a 45 degree angle, which is slightly closer to a real w

These people are customers of both beeper and apple. Both beeper and apple made a set of decision that led to their own customers being hurt. Somehow the resolution is that beeper is uniquely responsible for course correcting. Maybe they sh

The difference is in trying to highlight the "policy" as being fundamentally just and fair, versus arbitrary and capricious. If I have a "policy" of beating up anybody who looks at me funny, that doesn't make it any

Beeper would have to have agreed to the ToS for them to have broken it. It's apple's users who agreed to a ToS, and apple users who got the boot. The lesson is that apple doesn't treat their users very well, not that some no

The only relevant browsers on mobile are google's and apple's, and (modern) web standards are created by enough popular browsers implementing them. Literally all it would take for this to be a reliable web standard would be apple

So they didn't find him guilty of those counts, but they still sentenced him as if he had been convicted? That's quite odd.

i only visit twitter because somebody's linked to it. i'm not interested in opting out of a large number of discussions just because they take place in part on twitter.

It basically just says that version numbers are meaningless and purely marketing. "Pragmatic" yes, but in need of standardization, no. The project comes across almost as a satire, so its odd for you to treat it as serious here.

The odd thesis here seems to be that the lufthansa flight has to bear the entire burden of the delay. Eventually there will be a gap when you have runway space free. Rather than shove the lufthansa flight in right away, then cause every fur

Isn't reciprocity usually applied to tariffs? Hence why bilateral free trade deals need to be struck.

the go type has the implicit restriction that if error is true, then the result is meaningless. So really it has 3 meaningfully distinct values.

If you're doing business in a country, naturally you need to deal with the regulatory environment of that country. Its surprising to see such explicit american chauvinism when discussing this issue.

atomic ordering is very easy if you don't care about performance. So on the other hand we could ask why get/put/setenv have such a terrible need for performance that we can't afford to put a simple lock around them.

Does sms auth not work with prepaid sim cards? I think the real benefit is that a sim card is basically a trusted computing device, but with a system in place at the carrier to give you back your number if you lose it. In effect, its a digi

I've thought about doing this where the money is escrowed, and the recipient can optionally take it if they think the email is spam or otherwise unsavoury. You of course wouldn't take money from friends or family. Email marketing
