A tad defensive, considering he generally doesn't shy away from dressing people down when they get it wrong. If you included the "Temperature" section of this follow-up above the original post it'd be an awfully confusing read.

I agree in parts with his more principled arguments against watermarking, and I don't think he needed to tread water in the technicalities, especially given how close he comes in this post to abandoning the quality degradation argument all together anyway.

The section "MOST ACTIVE ORGANIZATIONS" shouldn't be taken as a list of the most active organizations in the world editing Wikipedia, just the most active organizations that made an IP list the tool is using.

Anyone using the very large number of static IP addresses on these lists will be pooled as an edit by the organization that maintains that IP range. This means a seaman in the Navy editing a TV show article on their free time may be pooled into the "Navy Network Information Center (NNIC)". It doesn't necessary mean the NNIC has a special interest in editing 'Breaking Bad' episode synopses.

The problem with long term support for Android devices is absolutely short security update windows, i.e. short term support for Android devices. Pixel comprises a tiny fraction of Android devices sold in the US, and a miniscule fraction worldwide.

Big discussion here and on Reddit when that article was posted. It doesn't set out to say Google search is worse/getting worse, but that people don't trust its results as much as human generated content (thus appending 'Reddit' to queries).

Silver ~1,740,000 metric tons, or a cube 55m on each side. [3,4]

Link 3 has a neat visual of the silver, gold, and platinum cubes side-by-side (a tad bit out of date).

When the apartment was discovered the police considered it a legitimate public safety threat, but in the following days Michael Townsend's statements around his intentions transformed the narrative. People were fascinated with the secret apartment, and Townsend spared no detail to quench their curiosity. He faced serious criminal trespassing charges, but I think his apologetic transparency, and the artsy culture of Providence, were influential in the lenient consequences he ultimately received.

Townsend is still an active artist in Providence[1], with his secret apartment now Providence folklore. He is still banned from entering the mall to this day.

99% Invisible did a great episode on it[2].

Terraform can also be used to put your infrastructure under version control, which is a pretty big deal.

The Flatpak documentation he then links to contradicts his rather controversial idea that a sandboxed application have access to the host file system.

"With Flatpak, each application is built and run in an isolated environment, which is called the ‘sandbox’. Each sandbox contains an application and its runtime. By default, the application can only access the contents of its sandbox. Access to user files, network, graphics sockets, subsystems on the bus and devices have to be explicitly granted. Access to other things, such as other processes, is deliberately not possible."
