My iPhone doesn't turn off anymore when I power it off if I select the option that says "go into low power mode so that my phone can still send beacons". Can you BELIEVE this?
FURTHER, unlike Google who would never let you turn this feature off, Apple does, but I have to GO INTO SETTINGS to find it OMG. And what a jokeshow marketing team Apple has because the name is a little confusing.
Somehow those bumbling buffoons over on HN found my tweet and half of them LIKE this feature. WTF! They're even discussing this thread like they like to do.
I have net lost some karma. Probably should have put it all in one post but I don't think it would have had the same effect. It so clearly is silly and unwanted when you do something like that on this forum, and that was the point.
No, HN will rate limit you if you post too quickly. I've been hit with it when I was involved in a back-and-forth in the past (part of the reason I added a 2-minute delay to my posts becoming visible, plus it gives me a chance to reconsider if they're worth posting or make edits).
I know. I was just being deliberately annoying. Matthew Green's twitter thread includes an incorrect (but he has now walked it back since he's obviously now read the teardown we're supposed to be discussing here and which I've played my fair share in derailing) post about how "a little bird told him it works this way". Just more twitter bravado at the time.
