Google search has been poor for years. I think it's time to say can't.

Then no business is private and no individual is private.

How significant are we talking here? How does their death rate compare with those that chose to or could not be vaccinated?

Google engineers can't even filter out GH or SO scraped sites like gitmemory, nor offer a way to let users block these sites. I'm not sure we should expect them to handle more advanced techniques like detecting word swaps any time soon.

But how does this change help Microsoft build a walled garden? Doesn't it do exactly the opposite, if it encourages people to download software to workaround the new bug/limitation?

No drugs, specifically cannabis. I've heard that admitting to using cannabis in the past gets you tossed, despite it being common, safe, and legal in much of the country.

> What are you planning to do with all that financial independence?

Read more, improve my cooking skills, learn how to play chess, try out a month-long vacation, play video games, learn some art skills, exercise... I'm sure I'm missing some things. I can do a little bit of these a small amount of the time but it's not enough to enjoy, as long as I'm working.

Maybe there are jobs I'd enjoy but I kind of doubt it. I haven't found a job that I'd say I want to do until I'm in my 60s, that's for sure.

Do you still have to be straight-edge to get hired by the feds?

> As in there's danger in cities, which I don't think is a false or disagreeable statement.

If this is truly what you're saying then why say it at all? What value do you feel it contributes to the conversation?

Yes, there is danger in cities. Sometimes it rains in small towns. Restaurants serve food, some of which is good and some bad. All equally useless statements.

Another phrase for this concept is "don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good," something a lot of people struggle (or outright refuse) to understand.

Thanks, looks like you're right. That's some counterintuitive UX right there, requiring the user to scroll several pages just to see a mid-thread comment. Wonder why they don't just put the replies immediately below the tweet they're replying to.

This is almost never the case for me. The replies to this tweet:

https://mobile.twitter.com/SamTLevin/status/1512109658432888...

are way, way off screen (except for the self replies). And when you scroll down to them it's not clear if they're replies to the first tweet, the last, or the middle.

> Having to click on individual tweets to see their replies

I'm not sure that even works -- when I go to a tweet in a "thread" I see there are replies but I can't figure out how to view them. All I see are the rest of the tweets in the "thread".

I've completely given up on seeing replies to tweets mid-thread. I'm too dumb to grok Twitter's UI.

Including the dust, if it is from the same era!

And without it the post is pointless. Recruiters lie. Yes. Sales people lie all the time. It's not news.

> If your client approved the hours reported in your work diary, please ask them to make a bonus payment to you for the amount reversed.

If we were wrong, get your client to make up the difference. But not directly: we still deserve our cut.

I'm not sure how this is good for Twitter, though, so not really a reason for them to implement editing.

I'm not sure we can blame the average person here. From https://www.apple.com/apple-cash/ :

> Apple Cash is the simple and secure way to spend money with your iPhone, Apple Watch, and iPad. Easily make purchases with Apple Pay and send and receive money right in Messages.

Am I purchasing with Cash or Pay here?

They also seem to have you use Apple Pay to use Apple Cash:

> How do I send money with Apple Cash?

> In Messages, tap the Apple Pay button, enter an amount on the keypad, and tap Pay.

I haven't used the feature so maybe it's less confusing than it's described in their marketing literature. (They do go on to explain the difference a bit further in the page, to their credit).

The biggest difference has to do with how Twitter has been used. Your retweets and likes show up on your profile and thus edits made to tweets may change what appears when someone looks at your profile. Unless they do it in some smarter way than most[0], this could personally devastating to folks because likes and retweets are viewed as endorsements (despite what some think).

The second biggest difference is newspapers tend not to change the entire point of the article in their edits, and aren't out to troll their engaged audience.

0: ie show the edited content on the page alongside the previous version(s) with the same prominence and, most importantly, without having to click anything to show an old version.

ETA: typos.

What counts as customization? I might agree that most people don't care to change font sizes or colors or even themes but they might want to be able to tell Google to never return results from a particular site. Is hiding results from a site customization? Is it the sort of customization that would overwhelm a user if they saw it as an option?

No kidding:

> The Octane line’s entry-level product, which comes with a 225-MHz R10000 MIPS processor, 128MB of memory, a 4GB hard drive, and a 20-inch monitor, will fall to $17,995 from $19,995.

Really makes the M1 Ultra look affordable.

Or you worked until you were told you were done for the day, and no sooner.

Ironically, focusing criticism on the aesthetics is itself "staying shallow". Much cyberpunk media does serve as a critique of the status quo or an imagined future dystopia, as I assume he would prefer, but with some neon on the surface.

What effect do you feel your policy might have on service providers such as HN?

> Personal and corporate interests will always trump community interests.

There are plenty of folks that won't put personal enrichment above abhorrent labor practices.

The first time I started seeing and hearing the term "reverse racism" was from white people reacting to policies like affirmative action. A decade or so later I saw the movement to drop "reverse". All IME of course.

Based on the content in the article, you don't have to be a heavy user of Google Drive to see this sort of spam, nor do you have to send anyone files.

I'm kind of surprised that you can't find engineers interested in creating a new implementation of an existing application that is actually used by people. I think that might be my dream role.

We're not really talking about non-paying customers here. We're talking about YouTubers posting ad-sponsored videos, ie revenue sources for Google.

There's also folks that justify their behavior and choices based on the size of their paychecks. As long as they get big numbers it doesn't matter if others lose their livelihoods arbitrarily and without recourse.
