    Years and years ago, I took a photo set of the Santa Cruz boardwalk and all of its beautifully painted buildings and rides, in the middle of January when it was completely and utte…

    Thank you for doing so; it led me to see this post, and I appreciate that. I’ll vouch next time if I see it go back to [dead].

    Well, I’m glad my question helped you uncover the root cause, in any case.

    If Tesla said “working as designed”, then that would definitively confirm that it’s not a bug. Apple has said “working as designed, not a bug” about the most common feature request…

    It could be considered such, if you file a lawsuit. No one else seems to be, so until it reaches a judge, I don’t know if you’ll see any response.

    Bungie, another tech company, has been making this exact request of its community for years now, and their community has for years now found every excuse under the sun to ignore it…

    Have you filed this bug or reported it to the requested Twitter thread? If anything else, a link to your HN comment posted to them would be enough — and then they’d realize there’s…

    In the Safari menu, there may be a Feedback option that lets you report the broken site issue to them directly, without having to use Twitter. I’m not sure if it’s a developer thin…

    That’s a bug worth reporting to them on Twitter! Which dates, incidentally?

    Those are design decisions that result in missing functionality, not unintentional defects (“bugs”) in shipping functionality.

    I'm not restricting my considerations to "the technology that is implemented and available to Tor users today", given that what's available neither meets the needs of sites, nor th…

    That would also remove essentially all potential for attacking workers. I like it far better than my idea. Good call.

    Reputation is a feature of identity. Tor users are, by definition and intent, unidentifiable. Opting out of identification naturally opts one out of reputation, as is the case in r…

    That’s all plausible sounding, but no one’s connected the dots and done it yet. We’re still at “step 2: ???”.

    Not out of spite, but to protect the workers as they remove the trucks, which the article cited as a specific concern. It will have obvious ramifications in decreased value of the …

    archive.is requires captchas for iCloud Relay users as well as blocking Cloudflare DNS users, so I wouldn’t consider them to be a Tor-specific example.

    Would a plasma cutter be able to permanently destroy the engines in each truck rapidly beyond repairability, so that they’re “disarmed” and can be relocated safely without maliciou…

    Not deanonymise, no. Come up with a way for siteops to block someone and all their sockpuppet accounts, without knowing the underlying identity, and you’ll become a billionaire. Wi…

    There’s many debit card “send to friend” apps that fill this space, including Apple Cash and Square Cash and etc. but your most likely compatibility app is Venmo. I’ve had zero iss…

    Tor provides anonymity without accountability; having some doors closed to all Tor users is the price paid for that anonymity. If that price isn’t acceptable, either modify Tor to …

    You can download a prerelease binary early from FTP, but until they release it, there’s no guarantee you’ll get the same code that’s released.
