That sure sounds like it's discrediting citizen journalism or amateur journalism.

Aren't tweets viewed as journalism these days? Or perhaps better phrased: Can't tweets be considered journalism? As much as I am loathe to admit it, I don't think that something being on Twitter excludes it from being journal

I use CityMapper solely for train and bus maps. I'm probably a minority, considering how increasingly hidden the maps button ends up getting with each release.

This is my feeling too. The title as it stands without a date clarifying that it was the SimCity from 2013 makes no sense. If I knew there was a 2013 version, it would probably make sense, but before clicking into the article and reading a

That's what I _thought_ but the article title had me doubting it, so I clicked it and only then realized that there was another game in the series with the same name and it came out in 2013. Kind of felt like I was tricked by a clickba

> I find it hard to believe that you're aware of the original SimCity game and think that this could be an article from 1999 that could be about it being a disaster for the series This almost exactly describes what I thought before

The most surprising thing about this is that someone as internet-savvy as Doctorow doesn't just skip over the ads but instead clicks on them. That's just asking for trouble.

The more that someone posts about their single bad experience, the more bad experiences people will remember, since they likely won't remember if it's the same person posting about the same experience multiple times. Although admi

Most of the examples noted elsewhere in this thread ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34914880 ) are examples of people getting scammed and temporarily not having access to the amount they were scammed out of. I'm n

It still works for me. Looks like it was just a temporary problem?

Ah yeah, makes sense... I confused myself.

Wouldn't it be smarter to build on the far side of the moon? Then you don't need to worry about the Earth obscuring the sun at all, right? Or were you referring to some other phenomena?

I'm still using an iPhone 7 and while it doesn't support the latest iOS, I can still install apps from the app store.

But Arduino (the company) is _most_ famous for their use of the atmega-based products, and "Arduino" (the word) is often used synonymously with those specific products (and often specifically meaning the Arduino Uno). Their non-at

I'll check out those release downloads. IIRC, I think I had been installing via homebrew, and that wasn't working out.

I tried getting yosys (and related) working on my M1 macbook so I could play around with an icestick fpga I have, but could never get it working. There we software installation issues that I couldn't get past and don't remember th

Ah, I see. I didn't get that it meant it had a controller built in. Interesting!

What does that mean? You can hook and RGB display up to pretty much any microcontroller, as far as I know.

An exception for a single client might fly for a small company, but it's not really a _simple_ exception when you're a large company (like Saleforce). It needs careful legal consideration and possibly means changing the general T&

As I said, unlikely. But not impossible. My work has a GSuite setup and we've had a few verifiable bounces over the years, though they weren't google's fault but were the fault of glitches at our DNS provider (we don't u

But if they make an exception for one person, they're opening the doors to complaints and possibly even legal action from others who want the same change. So making an exception for one person isn't really making an exception for

That phrasing doesn't rule out an issue on your email server's end, like the email could have bounced. (Though I'm guessing that's unlikely.)

So you're in favor of companies breaking their terms and conditions at will? I think that would cause quite a lot more outrage and problems.

I haven't tried it yet, but this is exactly how I've always wanted to have playlists generated, so I'm looking forward to trying it! Auto-generated playlists are sometimes great, but IMO they often miss the mark of what I wan

Based on the age and condition, I highly doubt they're stolen -- they're probably just trash. Maybe they were stolen from someone else who was trying to sell trash records, but I doubt they were stolen from anywhere legit unless i

Ah, i didn't realize you said TO obsidian. For some reason I read it as the other way around, which is why it really confused me.

How is moving from Obsidian to Notion relevant? They're basically the same thing?
