Where is A getting their bitcoins? If they didn't need to buy them, then they are miners, which seems to agree with GP's comment

Maybe they just check if your real name matches your twitter display name

The code quality is a bit concerning but then again, we have no idea what iOS looks like so it's hard to judge fairly
37.
by woojoo666 4y ago
To be fair, we only know the source of the bug since it's open source. With iOS, we have no idea how bad the code is behind the scenes
38.
by woojoo666 4y ago
Another way to look at it is, since the bug is from a race condition, modeling your program after functional programming would minimize these bugs

But are they selling that data, or using it to improve their products. There is a scale to privacy. With FOSS at one end, and Google/Facebook at the other. Apple is in the middle, and if Tesla keeps the data internal, then Tesla would

Anybody can do it. If you are already verified, just stop paying, and you'll lose verification, and now you can change your name. Perhaps they should make it easier to remove the verification yourself, though I don't see it being

It's less that Elon reads this site, and more that it's an obvious solution that people were asking for months ago. I'm sure twitter PMs and engineers have brought this up internally many times

This isn't even really a free speech issue. You can still change your name. Just not with a verified checkmark. In fact we can think of twitter verification as a way of asserting that your name won't change. This way, people will

And formalizing it in this case would be user flairs. This way the flair can change, but the name stays. Though Twitter will only bother adding flairs if enough people complain that they can't tack on promotions to their names, and I&#

I guess we'll have to disagree then, I feel Elon was already planning on making this change before Kathy did anything

Are we sure that's the trigger? As I said, this is something HN has been asking for for months. And the fix is so obvious. It's natural that Elon would push for it in his first week or so
48.
by woojoo666 4y ago
That is interesting, though it seems more of a hack. This seems like something that should be in the bio, not part of the name. Though perhaps Twitter can add user flairs like Reddit

The negativity in this comment section is so weird. Isn't this is exactly what people on HN were asking for a few months ago. And this is such an obvious fix for an obvious problem. I don't get what the issue is

I wonder if at some point, China will block https for regular users (but keep it for secure communications between gov agencies, banks, etc). So every residential area will only receive http, which the government can then censor by content,

That's true. Though I guess that when my parent comment referred to "admin", the were referring to the admin for the homeserver (the one routing the messages), which is different from the one hosting of the web client. This i

I think we need to better distinguish between comments about the current state of things (like GP) and comments about the future (like yours). GP is saying that currently the UX sucks, and this matters for people who want to use a social

Though of course, Jack Dorsey doesn't want to build on an existing protocol (like activitypub) and instead is rolling out his own ( https://atproto.com )

If you install apps from F-Droid (an alt app store on Android), they are all open source and built by F-Droid themselves. The benefit of this is, zero malware. And much better privacy. It's a nice peace of mind. The Play Store and App

I'm sure it's possible on Android to install enterprise management or MAM solution that locks down side-loading, locked behind some custom password (not the regular password that the maid would see)
