Please elaborate on what you mean. How is this related to the iPhone 12?


It is related to the big tech UE regulation still missing out critical parts. For instance meta messaging regulation seems to be server based and not related to small tech client/protocols interop (for instance, IRC bridges, noscript/basic (x)html web, etc).


How does this work with a conversation? Did you ask them to press 1 if the item is in stock, or send you an email to a provided address?


You could start the message by explaining your situation. But yeah still lots of edge cases this doesn't catch.


Twilio has different verbs you can use to quickly and easily throw together a small voice controlled phone tree with basic conversational understanding.


Yet performance is abysmal. I clicked on “API reference” and nothing happened for a second. Then the submenu opened in the sidebar. Another second later the content view updated. There is no indication of anything loading, there are no network requests to await. Incredibly, it’s dog slow on an M1 Mac.

If the viewport is 800 px or narrower, click on the menu icon (horizontal bars, top right), then click on a sidebar link. Do that a few times, you’ll notice it’s incredibly slow to react. Same with resizing the viewport, very sluggish.


Good lord it’s awful haha.

Some more unhinged stuff I noticed:

- swiping backwards exists the drop down menu for some inexplicable reason

- clicks on menu bar items take so long I genuinely thought I hadn’t tapped on it correctly.

- taps on the menu bar sometimes just don’t work. Like, at all. Oh scratch that, the menu was there after I swapped tabs to write this sentence.

- massive chunks load in at different times: the signing key page shifts as more content loads in 3.5 seconds later.


There's something to be said for optimistic routing, server or client side. It seems like they're using suspense to wait for the page to be rendered before swapping the route. It's a noticeable breach of the standard pattern of instant navigation, and then wait for content to appear.


I really wish it was possible for users browsers to opt-out of stuff like this. I don’t want some unhinged developer deciding they’d like to arbitrarily delay things like this, just render the page and stop making things worse.


Wow you weren't kidding. Very slow and very frustrating to use.


I got 2/20 after randomly guessing.


4/20 noob, picked all As.


Why do the articles have to be deleted? Is robots.txt or <meta name="robots" content="noindex,nofollow"> not sufficient? Deleting articles will break so many external links.


It’s a scam. You are required to pay Apple for a developer account. You are required to hand over 15%/30% of revenue for the lifetime of your app. You are bullied into paying Apple for App Store search ads or else someone else will take the number one spot even if the search query matches exactly your app name. Then you have to buy multiple generations of Apple hardware to test your app in different OS versions. And then Apple has the audacity to allow plain subscription scams in the App Store but bullies you in the app submission process for trivial things or rejects your app because the reviewer just didn’t read any provided instructions because they only have a few minutes per app review.

If anyone is interested in seeing rigorously analyzed video material, I recommend the YouTube channel of Mick West[1]. He is an experienced programmer that has written a software to combine available data into a 3D space. This makes it possible to recreate situations and validate/invalidate hypotheses by stepping through time and looking from different camera angles. He also analyzed the famous gimbal and flir videos (Spoiler: There is a straight-forward explanation for what they show) and deconstructed some of David Grusch’s statements[2].

The way you describe it it seems like Mick West is the quintessential HN poster; thinks his success as a software engineer makes him a supreme expert on other fields.


You are reading things into my comment I didn’t say. I said his programming capability allowed him to create a tool that lets anyone combine data into 3D space which makes it possible to verify hypotheses. Where others in the UFO community wave their hands and make bold claims about something supernatural, West checks if the observed phenomena can be explained in reality-based physical ways. Anyone can check the work he and many others did jointly. The data and simulations are free to download and assess. This process is much closer to science than anything I have seen from others in the UFO community.

If anything, your comment makes the impression of the quintessential HN poster that claims to know better / dismiss others without having checked the linked sources.

Can you please summarize?


November 2022 was the 3rd election in a row (2018, 2020 & 2022) that the MAGA "movement" failed at Arizona's ballot boxes. The article goes on to mention that Republican candidates have been getting more and more irrational/crazy/authoritarian and that Arizona voters want some normal Republicans like John McCain (who served as a Senator, representing Arizona, for 31 years, also was the Republican candidate for President in 2008).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_McCain


The first few paragraphs seem like a reasonable summary:

"The historically good results for Arizona Democrats at the polls this month are the third cycle in a row that MAGA has faltered at the ballot box, and political observers say it should be a clarion call to Republicans that Trumpism is a loser in the Grand Canyon State.

But operatives in both parties say that will be easier said than done, as Donald Trump’s grip on the Republican Party electorate remains strong.

“Conservatism wins in Arizona. Crazy does not,” said Chris Baker, a Republican political consultant who works on congressional and legislative races in Arizona and across the country. “The Republican Party in Arizona is at a crossroads right now. Is this the direction we want to continue in?”"


In 6–7 minutes real time (see timestamp bottom right). The video is sped up.


Sorry, yes. That's what I meant. Thanks! :-)
