Worth noting it's no longer available on Google Play. Not sure why.

If you are not talking about only tech project creations, then certainly many of the great books might fall under this category, especially those which birthed new mindsets as part of their creation.

To me, they absolutely shunned their core audience -- people who wanted greater flexibility and configurability than existing browsers could give them. As a power user who used to have Firefox humming along exactly how I wanted it (thanks to things like Keyconfig, etc.), I now really perceive next to no difference between Firefox and Chrome. Yes, there's philosophical reasons that make them differ. But in terms of what they offer to the end user? There's no difference. They neutered themselves.

I think it might be of interest here just because it's a fascinating moment in UI suicide. They took a very functional, even ideal UI and cut out huge swaths of functionality purely for the purpose of subsuming it into an existing yet ill-fitting structure.

Wi-fi enabled hot sauce. I did not know so much satire could be packed into four words. That's satire-rich semantics, right there. SatiricWeb3.

Gaming it out in my head, I would assume that this increases access to testing for those who are either uninsured or those who could not afford the turnaround time for their insurance to reimburse them for purchase of at-home testing.

As such, in this alternate world without the intervention, a chunk of the populace cannot afford to test. If one wanted to make slightly rasher assumptions, this segment might include those who are in jobs (Walmart, food preparation and service) that expose them to a large part of the population.

I'm saying this without any connection to the service aside from being a customer, but I think Inoreader is doing innovative work in the RSS space.

Wish the site had RSS.

> I honestly don't see a good reason.

I presume you're one of the fortunate majority who've never had domestic abusers injure (temporarily or permanently) or kill someone loved.

Can I ask, purely in the spirit of potential solutions (as opposed to the meta question of whether you should have to do this) -- there's a link there for "Claim this Knowledge Panel". One would presume that it would give you the ability to control what's listed there. Have you tried that?

I'm reminded of a paragraph in the Buzzfeed News investigation that brought this to light, indicating that Mikkelson in early days of Usenet was particularly known for trolling. That response to your inquiry seems particularly trollish.

From Krebs on Security (linked to from Jason Scott's Twitter thread):

> Unable to disengage a lock on his back fence, Herring was instructed to somehow climb over the fence with his hands up.

> “He was starting to get more upset,” Billings recalled. “He said, ‘I’m a 60-year-old fat man and I can’t do that.'”

> Billings said Mr. Herring then offered to crawl under a gap in the fence, but when he did so and stood up, he collapsed of a heart attack. Herring died at a nearby hospital soon after.

If this was treated as a linked-to-Google property, it would have been Google Travel - Weather Trends and would've been canceled along with the rest of Google Travel like 87% of their projects.

"It is durable due to its incorporation of pozzolanic ash, which prevents cracks from spreading."

Third sentence in the Wikipedia article. Later:

"The strength and longevity of Roman marine concrete is understood to benefit from a reaction of seawater with a mixture of volcanic ash and quicklime to create a rare crystal called tobermorite, which may resist fracturing. As seawater percolated within the tiny cracks in the Roman concrete, it reacted with phillipsite naturally found in the volcanic rock and created aluminous tobermorite crystals."

Neither seems to have been 'lost data'.

I don't know for sure this happened, but the adjective "properly" in "properly redacted" makes me wonder if they did black highlight, or drew black boxes over the text, instead of using a PDF editor's redaction feature. Only the latter truly works.

That's not entirely accurate. It's not uncommon to see "prevailing party pays legal fees" in American contracts.

The person you're replying to is making a joke. The general meta-structure of said joke is that if something is considered particularly bad, its existence is denied, i.e., "1: SCRUBS only had eight seasons. 2: But what about that one where they were teach-- 1: SCRUBS ONLY HAD EIGHT SEASONS." Etc.

The ability to share a link and be presented with a menu that let you bookmark or send it to a different device -- gone.

Not particularly pleased with that.

I really sometimes grow very frustrated with Mozilla. In Cory Doctorow's _Eastern Standard Tribe_, some people work as saboteurs, planting really unpopular stupid ideas, and sabotaging clean functionality.

It feels like Mozilla is really rife with such characters.

I don't know if anyone will particularly care, but both Substack and MailChimp newsletters have RSS feeds, in case you prefer those over mail. With Substack, you merely append "feed/" to the end.

With Mailchimp, well, you look for a "view in browser" or "share this issue with friends" link in the newsletter. On the archive page it takes you to, an RSS link is on the righthand corner.

If I was a bit more musically talented I'd work out how to do a rickroll with this.

Personally, can't recommend Inoreader enough for those returning to RSS. They do it well and they're beginning to incorporate some good innovation outside the normal structure what with collecting newsletters, etc. for you. My two cents, at least; I'm a happy customer. (Mentioning this since, as 40four points out, the article is kind of one big Feedly ad.)

I fail to understand why Firefox takes as its lead Chrome's behavior. Let it be different, let it distinguish itself. We constantly hear how less configurability is easier to maintain. Unfortunately, that was Firefox's main distinction from Chrome. This path where it simply copies Chrome's UX and removes more and more features in the interests of something easier to maintain ... taking that to its logical conclusion, Firefox might as well become a Chromium fork now.

As far as I can tell, these claims are backed up by Frankl's own autobiography and interviews. See quotes:

I'm wondering if you're dealing with hyperarousal (nothing to do with sexual arousal), especially given the reactions to the pipeline or Jira request. Perhaps a path for your research.
